With the sound of the class bell ringing, the homeroom teacher, known as the "Extinction Master" among students, walked in holding a pile of test papers.
The classroom quickly fell silent.
But as the classroom quieted down, a strange sound emerged.
Scratch scratch scratch~
Everyone followed the sound and eventually all eyes fell on Lin Yi at the back row.
But at this moment, all Lin Yi's attention was on the notebook in his hand, not even noticing the bell that had just rung.
The homeroom teacher standing at the podium saw Lin Yi's actions, and immediately frowned.
Just thinking that in four days they would take the college entrance exam and end their high school career, she resisted the urge to scold Lin Yi in front of everyone like she used to.
However, she couldn't let Lin Yi affect other students either, especially since this time Lin Yi actually turned in a blank test and got a zero, which made her very displeased with him, so she called out with a frown:
"Lin Yi, come here and hand out the test papers."
However, as soon as she spoke, the class fell into an even stranger atmosphere.
The reason was nothing other than Lin Yi directly ignoring the Extinction Master's order, not even bothering to acknowledge her.
"Wow, boss is awesome! Going head-to-head, huh!"
Looking at the Extinction Master on the podium with a furious expression, then at Lin Yi who was still doing his own thing quickly flipping through the pages, Li Huiqun couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.
But how could the homeroom teacher tolerate such behavior from Lin Yi?
As expected, the next moment the homeroom teacher exploded in rage.
With a bang, the homeroom teacher slammed the pile of test papers onto the podium and shouted angrily at Lin Yi who was still flipping through the book in the back row:
"Lin Yi! Stand up for me!"
Completely absorbed in reading, Lin Yi was suddenly startled by this 'lion's roar', and looked up in confusion towards the podium, only to see the furious face of the homeroom teacher.
But the guy didn't know why the teacher was so angry, muttering to himself, who on earth had dared to provoke the Extinction Master.
However, when he saw all the other students watching him, he immediately had a bad feeling.
"Lin Yi, you are getting Skillful! Don't think just because you have a few days until the college entrance exam, I have No way for you!"
The students in the classroom all shrank their necks, knowing that this time the Extinction Master was truly furious. After all, every time she burst into English, it was when she was about to call parents.
If it were before, Lin Yi wouldn't even understand what the teacher was saying in English, but this time it was different; now his English skills are quite impressive.
Yet, faced with this sudden reprimand, Lin Yi was a bit puzzled, wondering why he was scolded just for reading quietly.
"What's going on, teacher? I'm just studying hard here. I wasn't causing any trouble... (in English)"
Instinctively, Lin Yi blurted out a series of standard English sentences, and after speaking, he innocently raised the chemistry book he was halfway through to show the teacher.
But when Lin Yi said this, everyone in the class was stunned, all looking at Lin Yi in bewilderment.
What was going on? The words that had just come out of Lin Yi's mouth were actually perfectly standard English?
But that doesn't make sense, does it? They had been classmates for three years, and everyone knew exactly what each other's academic performances were. How could Lin Yi, who always ranked in the bottom three, speak such English?
But the homeroom teacher standing on the podium might have been too angry to notice this detail, and after hearing Lin Yi's retort, she became furious again, reprimanding him:
"Reading, huh? Are you kidding me? Is that how you read? Before, you could at least fake it, but this time you gave me a blank paper? I'll call your parents and let them see how their son studies! (in English)
This time it was even more intense; the Extinction Master simply said it all in English.
And because she was angry, she spoke quickly, and even Xiao Zihan in the front didn't catch a few words, let alone the other students.
"Uh, teacher, there's a bit of a language mistake in your sentence. 'Kidding me' should be said like this. (in English)"
After saying this, the homeroom teacher on the podium continued to retort in English:
"Don't play dumb with me. I will say whatever I want to say... Hey? Wait a minute! You actually dare to converse with me in English? (in Chinese)"
Halfway through speaking, the Extinction Master finally realized, and suddenly her mouth gaped in disbelief, switching back to Chinese.
At this point, the classmates were already dumbfounded, all looking at Lin Yi as if he were a monster.
Wow, this guy hid his skills so well! With speaking ability like this, passing the eighth level would be a piece of cake!
And Li Huiqun beside him gulped, his face full of disbelief.
Others might not know Lin Yi well, but Li Huiqun, a childhood friend who grew up with him, knew him inside out.
Was the guy who just spoke fluent English really the same brother who once swore with him 'I'm a Huaxia person, I won't learn bird language'?
Oh heck, turns out the clown was me all along...
"Your English..."
The Extinction Master started to say, but didn't know how to finish.
Mainly because this completely overturned her perception.
"Come here and take this test paper back to redo it! Show me your real skills."
Suddenly remembering yesterday's test paper, the Extinction Master quickly found Lin Yi's blank paper.
Redo it? Wouldn't that be wasting my time reading...
Though Lin Yi was reluctant, he couldn't disobey the teacher, so he walked up to the podium.
However, to save as much time as possible, when he reached the podium, he saw that Xiao Zihan's seat was right next to him, so he reached out and took a pen from Xiao Zihan's hand:
"Let me borrow this."
Then he took the test paper from the teacher and immediately started answering the questions right there on Xiao Zihan's desk without going back to his seat.
Feeling her hand suddenly empty, Xiao Zihan was obviously startled, and looked at the pen now in Lin Yi's hand with a slight sense of heartache.
It's not that she was unwilling to let Lin Yi use it, mainly because now the cap of her pen was in Lin Yi's mouth...
