Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Chapter 348 - The Mean Deskmate

Ning Ke said and looked at Pu Guoqing expressionlessly, coldly asking, “That’s all. Can we return to our seats?”

Pu Guoqing was about to speak, when Ning Ke suddenly said, “Mr. Pu, you’re wasting our time. I hope I can do more exercise in the morning self-study time instead of listening to your useless words.” Then he looked at Pu Guoqing and pursed his lips as he asked, “Where is my seat?”

Pu Guoqing was stupefied and then pointed at the the front desk on the left. Ning Ke was not satisfied with this seat, but without saying anything, he went straight to the seat and sat down. His deskmate was a little girl who blushed and said to him in a low voice, “h.e.l.lo, I’m Qiu Wei.”

Ning Ke grunted, took out his exercise book and began to do exercise.

Tang Xi also looked at Pu Guoqing with a smile. The latter pointed to an empty seat on the third row in the middle line. “That is your seat.”

Tang Xi was very satisfied with this seat, because her deskmate was a girl. Then at least she didn’t have to worry her deskmate might woo her like Ning Ke. Tang Xi walked over, said h.e.l.lo to her deskmate, and sat down on the seat. However, her deskmate looked cold, and just ignored her. She shrugged, took out an exercise book, and began to solve the problems on the blackboard. It only took her about five minutes to finish solving all these problems…

She suddenly found that she seemed to be faster at solving math problems. Was it because of the system that she became more sensitive to math? The ability that the system gifted her?

The girl sitting beside her was still attentively solving the problem, then she suddenly saw Tang Xi bending over the desk in a daze. She frowned, gave a disdainful look to Tang Xi and continued to solve the problem. Tang Xi took out her textbook, and began to preview the contents of the first cla.s.s as she wondered how to ask Pu Guoqing for leave to attend the Fas.h.i.+on Week… She had thought this Pu Guoqing was as nice as Mr. He, but obviously he was not. He was totally a fuddy-duddy! If she dared ask for a week’s leave, Pu Guoqing must think she was challenging him!

“Alas!” Tang xi felt vexed. If only Mr. He was still her chief teacher! If only the old monitor was still her monitor!

Seeing Tang Xi was sighing resting her chin on her hand, Pu Guoqing walked up to her and asked, “You’ve sighed for several time just in ten minutes. Are these problems so hard for you?”

“It’s hard!” Tang Xi blurted out. It was too hard! It was really hard to ask for leave form you!

Hearing this, her deskmate gave a contemptuous smile. Now you know the senior-grade courses are difficult? Do you really think you’re a genius? You’re just a country b.u.mpkin who knows nothing! You won’t be able to handle the senior-grade courses, even though you managed to skip grades! Don’t you know some senior-year students even leaped to their own death because they couldn’t bear the pressure of schoolwork?

Seeing many students were looking at them, Pu Guoqing took a look at Tang Xi and asked, “Which problem you can’t solve? Let me explain to you.”

“Ah?” Tang Xi looked at Pu Guoqing in puzzle. Which problem she couldn’t solve…”Oh!” Tang Xi smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t mean…”

Before she finished, Pu Guoqing had picked up her exercise book. He took a look at it and widened his eyes. He then took a look at Tang Xi again with a frown, then looked at the other students, and asked in astonishment, “Have you finished solving the problems?”

Wailing sounds rang incessantly in the cla.s.sroom. “Mr. Pu, it’s only been twenty minutes! There are five problems. Each of them will take at least eight minutes to solve, so we need at least forty minutes!”

At this time, Tang Xi’s deskmate looked at her own exercise book and frowned. She had only solved three problems. Pu Guoqing snorted, glared at the students, and then turned to ask Tang Xi. “How long did it take you to solve these problems?”

His words immediately aroused Tang Xi’s deskmate’s attention. She looked up at Pu Guoqing as if not believing what he said. Pu Guoqing put Tang Xi’s exercise book to her desk and repeated, “How long did it take you to solve these problems?”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and answered, “About five minutes.”

Come on, she was graduated from the Empire University, and she was also one of the top students in the Empire High school that was one of the best high schools in China, so solving these problems was as easy as pie for her. Besides, she had solved these problems when she was in the Empire High School, so it only took her five minutes to solve them again.

And it was strange that as soon as she saw these problems, the answers popped up in her mind. She just needed to take them down in her exercise book, which wouldn’t take her much time…

“Five minutes!” Pu Guoqing almost vomited blood. He took Tang Xi’s exercise book and walked up to the platform. He then lifted the book, looked at the other students who were still thinking hard how to solve these problems, and said coldly, “Look! You only solved two or three problems in twenty minutes, and even the best of you only solved four! But Tang Xi who just skipped from Grade One and was late for ten minutes had solved all of the problems within five minutes! And her answers are all correct! Don’t you feel ashamed??”

Tang Xi’s deskmate looked at her in surprise and then a cold and dark gleam flickered across her eyes. But soon she calmed down and stared at Tang Xi, asking provocatively, “Did you solve the problems yourself?”

She saw Tang Xi just casually drew something on the exercise book. Was she really solving the problems? And a draft book was needed to solved these maths problems!

Tang Xi could tell she was hostile to her. She raised her eyebrows and smiled. “What do you think?”

That girl snorted, stood up and said to Pu Guoqing. “Mr. Pu, I’m sitting beside her. I didn’t see her solve the problems! She didn’t solve these problems!”

Someone immediately echoed, “Yes, Mr. Pu, even a genius will need some time to solve these problems! How could she solve all of them just in five minutes? She must have copied the answers!”

Pu Guoqing looked at Tang Xi with a frown. To be honest, he didn’t believe Tang Xi either!

“Haha.” Just then, someone sneered. Ning Ke stood up, looked around at the students and said disdainfully, “You can’t solve the problems so quickly, so no one else can solve them so quickly, right? What a good show! These are my new cla.s.smates! You can’t do it, so you won’t admit anyone else can do it? That’s ridiculous!”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, when her deskmate suddenly said, “Mr. Pu, give several more problems to her. If she can solve them, we’ll admit she didn’t cheat!”
