4, the fourth star(1/2)
How long does it take for a new person to integrate into an unfamiliar group?
The answer varies from person to person. There is a term for "icebreaking" in communication terms, but any icebreaking technique is far less simple and quick than Chu Qianli's. She got to know many girls in the class just during her lunch break, and she became the center of the conversation.
He Shichen used his peripheral vision to observe the chattering girl. He felt very strange in his heart now and needed to continue to explore Chu Qianli.
Interpersonal communication skills are also an important criterion for measuring someone. Her upbringing is completely different from that of her classmates, and she can quickly close the distance between them. She is by no means an easy person.
The preparation bell rang, and the girls finally dispersed. Tan Muxing picked up the textbooks for the next class. He said with emotion and disappointment: "You are really good. You can talk to everyone."
Chu Qianli can integrate into the group at noon, and Tan Muxing has been invisible for two years, and he feels ashamed in comparison. He feels that his new deskmate has no shortage of friends, and maybe she will soon take back her words of being friends with him.
"Is this awesome?" Chu Qianli followed him out of the classroom, and he had to go to class in the afternoon.
"It's amazing. It's like a transfer student in anime. He has the aura of the protagonist as soon as he appears, and his style of painting is different from others." Tan Muxing said with a bitter smile, "I may be a supporting character who doesn't even have a face, but I can show it in every aspect.
ordinary."
Tan Muxing wants to be an outstanding person like He Shichen, or have special skills like Chu Qianli, but he is just an ordinary person with ordinary appearance and no special skills. He basically does not attract attention in the class, and occasionally he is teased about his size and size.
Hobby.
There are many dazzling people in the world, but he doesn't have any brilliance at all, and he even takes it for granted.
Chu Qianli pondered for a few seconds. She raised her eyebrows leisurely and reminded: "Be clear, your family background is by no means ordinary, otherwise you won't be able to go to this school. Don't redefine ordinary."
The tuition fees for this private high school are high, and it is certainly not accessible to ordinary families.
When Tan Muxing thought about her former upbringing environment, he instantly put aside his self-deprecating mood and scratched his face in embarrassment: "Ah, if you say that, it does make sense."
The two went to the chemistry classroom to prepare for the new class. Chu Qianli finally knew the reason for the class change. The afternoon class was taught exclusively in English, and even the teachers were foreign teachers.
Because Chu Qianli studied astrology, her English was quite good, but she still sounded confused.
The reason is very simple. This course is extremely difficult to learn, and it is much more difficult than those taught in the village!
This is something humans can learn!
Chu Qianli completed her studies normally in her previous life, but now she can't keep up with the progress at all. The so-called use it or lose it, her learning speed is extremely slow.
Because there was a free class in the afternoon, the teacher asked questions in order. Chu Qianli couldn't sleep like she did in the morning. She faced the questions on the screen and shook her head feebly: "Sorry."
The whole class took turns to answer the questions smoothly, but Chu Qianli suddenly got stuck, which naturally caused her to attract strange looks from everyone.
He Shichen frowned slightly when he saw this.
The foreign teacher communicated with Chu Qianli in English. He kindly encouraged her to try it and said that the question was very simple.
Tan Muxing glanced at her secretly. He wrote the answer on the paper and handed it to her hand silently. However, she did not lower her head to see it.
Chu Qianli: "Sorry."
The foreign teacher looked regretful, but he did not continue to force it and looked for someone else to answer the question.
"No, this question is really not difficult..." someone muttered in a low voice. The foreign teacher was very considerate to the new students, but she couldn't even answer such a basic question.
"This is very different from He Shichen."
He Shichen was a legend in his grade, but Chu Qianli was completely opposite to him.
Everyone was not aware of Chu Qianli's abnormality at first, but now they remembered that there was a difference in her upbringing environment. Perhaps she had not received pure English instruction, and she probably couldn't even understand the questions. No wonder she could only repeat "sorry".
She may not speak English well either. It is said that she used to live in a village, and it is even more outrageous that she cannot read Chinese characters.
Human imagination is always exaggerated, and Chu Qianli was almost thought to be illiterate.
During class, Tan Muxing carefully probed: "Have you never learned it before?"
He was worried about hurting Chu Qianli's self-esteem. It was said that her living conditions were average before and she might not have access to excellent educational resources.
Chu Qianli was ashamed: "I'm sorry, it was me who discredited our village. All the high school students in the village are better than me."
This is the worst blackmail ever suffered in their village. The main reason is that she is indeed a fake high school student. She used to be disobedient in school and now she brings shame to the village when she returns to He's house.
As expected, He Shichen had the same doubts. He came over with a frown on his face and said, "Don't you understand English?"
He still remembered that Chu Qianli had studied in the village and couldn't even figure out the step-by-step process. He probably just didn't understand the question.
Chu Qianli looked stunned: "No, I understand."
When He Shichen heard her harsh words, he became even more impatient, and said earnestly: "It's not embarrassing if you don't understand. You can switch to a Chinese class. Don't suffer the consequences for saving face."
He Shichen was afraid that she was being thin and didn't want to be laughed at by the people around her, so she insisted on studying in English classes. Learning knowledge was the most important thing, and the opinions of others didn't matter at all.
Chu Qianli's tone was sincere: "I understand..."
He Shichen looked unhappy when he heard this. He believed that she was a tough talker and she didn't want to change shifts and be laughed at, just to preserve her fragile self-esteem.
He Shichen: "Nonsense..." You just have to show your face.
The next second, Chu Qianli broke his suspicion and said confidently: "I do understand, but I simply can't learn!"
Chu Qianli: "You can question my IQ, but don't question my English."
After all, she has strong Mercury energy and is considered to be gifted with languages.
He Shichen: "..."
He Shichen heard that she didn't know what to say, so he simply walked away, so angry that he didn't want to talk to her. He left in a hurry and decided to let her make her look fat because he had already done his best.
Tan Muxing took Chu Qianli to change classrooms. On the way, he kindly suggested: "If you ask questions next class, you can read my answers."
It would not be good for Chu Qianli to fool around all day. People in the class might mistakenly think that she is uneducated, which would create a very bad image for her in the class.
Tan Muxing was deeply troubled by this. Once a person's flaws and weaknesses were exposed, ridicule and teasing would follow. He did not want to see Chu Qianli make the same mistakes as himself.
Chu Qianli subconsciously said: "Isn't this cheating?"
Tan Muxing lowered his head in shame, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Ah, if you think it's inappropriate..."
Chu Qianli: “It’s appropriate, it’s so appropriate, the important thing is to participate!”
Talk about Mu Xing: "?" Is this a refreshing and refined way of saying cheating?
The two of them had a good plan before class, but things always changed faster than planned, and the following physics class was cruel. The foreign physics teacher assigned a difficult problem and required the whole class to complete it within the specified time.
The problem of celestial motion appeared on the screen. He Shichen's face showed a slight hesitation after reading the question. He quickly started the calculation process on the paper, racing against time to peel off the complex questions.
Tan Muxing wanted to provide an answer to Chu Qianli. He also lowered his head and started to calculate. Then he found that his deskmate was motionless and whispered: "You should pretend to be..."
Chu Qianli sat in a daze, not even raising her hand to do the math, as her goal was too obvious.
Chu Qianli: "Huh? You haven't calculated it yet. I can tell you the answer."
The whispers between the two attracted the attention of the foreign teacher. The physics teacher was much more serious. He found that Chu Qianli did not do the math and asked her why with a cold face.
Chu Qianli was now panicked. She replied casually in English: "I have already figured out the answer."
As soon as Chu Qianli finished speaking, the class instantly became uproar, and even He Shichen, who was immersed in doing the questions, raised his eyes in disbelief.
Wang Zheng said disdainfully: "Just brag, you can read the questions in this little time."
This is a physics question about three stars, with complicated pictures to analyze their interactions. It takes time for everyone to just analyze the star system on the picture, but she actually said she knew the answer after just a cursory glance?
Chu Qianli performed so poorly in chemistry class that her classmates couldn't believe it.
He Shichen's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at the process of writing on the paper, showing a doubtful expression. He should be the fastest person in the class with calculation speed, and only Qi Yan from the next class in the grade could match him.
When the physics teacher heard the commotion below, he waved to Chu Qianli and asked her to come up to the stage to do the questions.
Chu Qianli didn't have stage fright. She walked on stage gracefully and started writing on the electronic screen without even stopping to think, as if the answer had already been deeply imprinted in her mind.
Her frustration in the chemistry class just now was simple. She could only learn the content related to stars quickly and was extremely slow to absorb other knowledge.
What is celestial movement?
That is the movement of various celestial bodies in the universe, not just the movement of stars!
Although many modern astrologers rely on software to calculate their fortunes, in ancient times astrologers had to rely on their own calculations. If they wanted to deal with more complex problems, they must have the ability to calculate and logically think.
Chu Qianli answered the question fluently and was recognized by the foreign teacher as the correct answer. Everyone present was simply shocked.
Wang Zheng questioned: "She has done this question before!"
The foreign physics teacher was originally quite dissatisfied with Chu Qianli, but now he explained in a pleasant manner: "I changed the numbers for this question, so the answer should not be found outside."
Even though Chu Qianli had done similar types of questions, she was able to solve the changed types of questions quickly enough, even surpassing the foreign physics teacher who changed the questions, which is admirable enough.
He Shichen looked at this scene in disbelief. He couldn't understand how someone who slept in class could have such strong physical strength? Was she a genius?
The foreign physics teacher didn't know her identity and background, so he praised her in English: "It seems that you studied well in your original school."
Chu Qianli nodded shamelessly: "Well, our village's physics teaching ability is very strong."
Everyone in the class was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that she would admit that she came from a rural area, and they didn't expect that the teaching level of her alma mater was not as good as that of a village!
Qiu Qingkong said in a daze: "Which village is that? I'm going to study physics."
He Shichen's face was tense. He held the pen tightly, his joints turning white from the force, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
After Chu Qianli finished answering the questions, he calmly stepped down from the stage and walked slowly back to his seat. It wasn't long before the break came.
Tan Muxing was already used to her talking nonsense. He knew that it had nothing to do with teaching in the village, so he asked curiously: "Why are you so good at physics?"
Chu Qianli: "I am an astrologer."
