Chapter 414 Professor Xiao’s Invitation
At noon.
After the second English class, Lu You separated from his three roommates and went to the teaching building next door to wait for Tang Wan to come down.
Lu You can be said to have benefited a lot from the two advanced algebra classes this morning.
It’s not that he learned any new knowledge. Lu You didn’t even bother to take a second look at the little bit of algebra he learned in his undergraduate studies, which was so basic that it couldn’t be any more simple.
What he learned was An Heng's teaching method.
Although Lu You had reached the level of professor in his previous life, his teaching ability was only average, not good, but not bad either.
I just make a simple PPT before class, read from the textbook in class, and assign exercises after class.
As for whether the students have really learned the knowledge, Lu You doesn't care much. The main purpose is to test the students' subjective initiative.
But An Heng is different. He also uses PPT in class, but he also attaches an additional teaching handout with extremely detailed content, comparable to the complete explanation of the textbooks used in junior high and high schools.
An Heng’s teaching style is also very interesting. Besides giving serious lectures, he occasionally inserts some popular memes to make the originally boring mathematical theorems more vivid.
An Heng did not assign any homework, saying that the first unit had not been completed and there was no point in assigning homework.
Lu You leaned against the wall, recalling the algebra class in the morning, unraveling it bit by bit, recording the points worth learning in his mind in order to improve his teaching skills.
Maybe it won’t be used in the short term, but if you want to continue to move forward after graduating with a Ph.D., teaching is unavoidable.
At this moment, a soft feeling of pressure came from the arm.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Tang Wan hugged Lu You's arm and smiled sweetly.
Lu You smiled, touched Tang Wan's face, and said softly: "I just got out of class, how long can I wait?"
"Let's go and eat, I'm hungry!"
"What to eat?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it when we get to the cafeteria."
……
The cement asphalt road is dotted with golden fallen leaves.
Pairs of shoes stepped on it, making a crackling sound.
Lu You held Tang Wan's hand and said, "This is your first time attending a class in college. How do you feel? Are you adapting?"
"It feels okay, not much different from high school."
Tang Wan replied truthfully: "It's basically just a formality. The teacher comes up to introduce himself, brags about the importance of the course, and the teaching schedule for this semester. After that, the class officially begins."
"What are your two classes in the morning?" Lu You asked again.
“Advanced mathematics and English.”
"Is it difficult?"
Tang Wan rolled her eyes at Lu You and replied, "What do you think? You're asking even though you already know the answer."
"Indeed, I was talking nonsense."
Lu You was very familiar with Tang Wan's math and English abilities.
Tang Wan was admitted to Capital University through CMO. Her math level is unquestionable. Even freshman-level advanced mathematics is not a problem for her.
As for English, after half a year of traveling abroad and Lu You's influence, he had no problem passing the Level 6 test.
"After those two classes, didn't you gain anything?"
"Have."
Tang Wan stretched, revealing her beautiful figure.
"It was the first time in my life that I blatantly played with my phone in class."
"Ok?"
"I feel so guilty now." Tang Wan said with a sad face, "I feel so sorry for my efforts in high school, sorry for my parents' expectations, sorry for the admission letter from the school, and even more sorry for the love of you and your aunt, so!"
Tang Wan immediately frowned and said in a serious tone, "I hereby swear that starting from this afternoon, I will turn off my cell phone during class and concentrate on studying. If I violate this rule, I will never touch a man again in my life. I will keep my word!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu You's Five Finger Mountain had already descended on Tang Wan's head.
"Ow!"
Tang Wan covered her head in pain and glared at Lu You.
"What are you doing? Are you starting domestic violence?"
"If you want to swear, change the conditions and don't involve me. And don't touch men. Is this a punishment for me or for yourself?"
"Husband and wife are one body, they should bear difficulties together. I made a mistake, and you should help me share the consequences. Isn't it normal?" Tang Wan said as a matter of course.
"hehe."
Lu You sneered and said, "I've only heard that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes."
……
five minutes later.
The two arrived at the dining hall.
After some discussion, the two of them each ordered a bowl of soup and rice, and found a bright empty seat to sit side by side.
Tang Wan calmly took a piece of corn from Lu You's bowl and asked, "Honey, let me ask you a question. What day is this Saturday?"
Lu You poured a few spoonfuls of hot soup on the rice and replied, "You mean Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"anything else?"
Lu You thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "My birthday?"
"Congratulations, you got it."
Tang Wan took a bite of corn, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
"I'll give you a piece of imported corn as a reward."
Before she could finish her words, Tang Wan forced the withered corn in front of Lu You.
Lu You looked at Tang Wan quietly without saying anything.
"Why, you think it's too little? I'll give you another piece."
Thus, the two lonely people became brothers in distress.
Seeing that Lu You was still not picking up his chopsticks, Tang Wan urged him, "Eat quickly! Are you giving me no face?"
Lu You didn't hesitate any longer. He picked up the gnawed corn and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.
As expected, it tasted like crap.
The sweetness is lower than that of glutinous corn.
Tang Wan blinked her eyes and asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"
Lu You scooped up two spoonfuls of soup, washed down the food in his mouth, and said expressionlessly: "The reward is very good, don't give me a reward next time."
"hey-hey!"
Tang Wan giggled twice. It felt really good to have someone around who could cooperate with her in doing bad things.
Lu You scooped out a few bunches of enoki mushrooms from the steaming soup and hung them on the edge of the rice plate, saying, "Have you prepared a birthday present for me this year?"
Tang Wan pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? When did I not give you a birthday present?"
"The first year of junior high school."
"How long had we only known each other at that time? Besides, I didn't even know your birthday, so I couldn't send you a gift even if I wanted to!" Tang Wan argued indignantly.
Lu You picked up a piece of rice, opened his mouth and ate it, then asked: "So, what gift are you going to give this year?"
Tang Wan bit her chopsticks lightly and asked, "What gift do you hope to receive?"
"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's from you."
Tang Wan nudged Lu You with her shoulder and said, "Don't give me a perfunctory answer."
"It's really not perfunctory."
Lu You explained seriously: "We boys actually have very low requirements, especially for the people we like. As long as you remember my birthday, I will be very happy even if there is no gift."
"That's it!"
Tang Wan looked at some unknown place and fell into deep thought.
"However, since you took the initiative to offer to give me a gift, it has raised my expectations. If I find out that you just bought a small cake from the street to deal with it, I will definitely be in trouble."
"rest assured!"
Tang Wan guaranteed, "My products must be top-notch. If they are not good enough, I will pack myself up and give it to you."
To be honest, Lu You believed in Tang Wan's intention of giving the gift.
Lu You is still using the hand-knitted scarf that she was given as a gift in her second year of high school.
When I was traveling in my senior year of high school, I had someone customize the shape of a handmade felt doll that I pierced with my own hands.
Although the appearance of both items was not very good, the thoughtfulness behind them was genuine and brought Lu You a big surprise.
"Oh, I forgot to ask, do you have any plans for Saturday?"
Lu You shook his head, indicating no.
Tang Wan smiled and said, "Then let me do it, okay?"
"Listen to you."
"Do you want to have some fun, or do you want to be alone?"
"As long as you are here, I can do anything."
"Hey, don't confess so suddenly, I'll be shy!"
……
Had lunch.
Lu You sent Tang Wan to the girls' dormitory, watched her figure disappear in the corridor, and then returned to the dormitory.
Open the dormitory door.
Except for Gong Qing, Zhang Zhichuang and Bi Yangde were both sitting at their desks, typing loudly on their mice and keyboards.
"Lao Bi, you go and kill the AD, I'll use my prime to take down the mid laner!"
"Wait a minute, I'm two seconds away from lighting it!"
"Are you ready? I've already started sprinting!"
"Okay, go!"
Lu You closed the dormitory door and walked towards his desk. When he passed behind the two people, he glanced at their computer screens.
The familiar Summoner's Rift, the familiar fight in front of the dragon pit.
"OK! I've taken down the opposing Syndra, you hurry up and cut the back row!"
"Don't shout, I'm cutting!"
Lu You took off his schoolbag and put it on the chair, then hid behind the bed curtains, ready to take a short nap.
"Oh my god! You actually got a single yarn? A 3-11 two-piece set of Quesanti and a 11-0 three-and-a-half-piece set of Sindra? That's fake!"
"You're right, but this is Quesanti, a tank's physique, an assassin's damage output, and superb mobility!"
"Ugh!"
Lu You sighed, took out his phone and turned over.
It’s better to wait until these two guys finish fighting before going to bed!
I clicked into Bilibili and watched some videos for a while, and then a phone call came in.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Lu You was torn between answering and rejecting the call, but finally he chose to answer it.
What if it’s an acquaintance who’s already a stranger?
"Hello."
[Hello, Lu You, do you remember who I am? ]
The plain and low tone seemed to have been heard somewhere before.
The next second, Lu You jumped up and asked in surprise: "Are you Professor Xiao?"
【Haha, it seems you still remember! 】
Lu You crossed his legs and replied with a smile: "How could I not remember? You helped me check my thesis!"
[Actually, I wanted to call you a long time ago, but I was busy with many things during the school term, so I forgot about it.]
Lu You expressed his understanding of this.
In my previous life, the period between August and September was the busiest time of the year.
I have a lot of reports to submit, various meetings to attend one after another, and I still have to squeeze out time to prepare lessons. I am busy like a top.
"Professor Xiao, do you have something to talk to me about?"
[No big deal, just want to chat with you. If I remember correctly, your freshman class starts today, right? ]
"um, yes."
What classes did you take?
"Advanced Algebra and English."
Xiao Liang became interested and asked immediately.
[Who was your teacher in advanced algebra? What was his name?]
"My surname is An, and my name is An Heng." Lu You answered truthfully.
[Is he the one wearing a plaid shirt and has very little hair? ]
"Correct."
[Tsk, tsk, tsk! 】
There was a hint of sarcasm and gloating in Xiao Liang's voice.
[You guys are so unlucky this time, you ran into a king bomb right at the start! ]
"How to say?"
[An Baldhead's teaching ability is beyond doubt, he is really good. The bad thing is that when he teaches students, he likes to make up his own questions, and the questions he makes are very difficult. In his class, not many students can pass 70 in the final exam, and less than a handful can pass 80. ]
"Is it really that difficult?"
You have to know that this is Capital University, and those who can get in are the top students selected from thousands.
And those like Lu You who took the initiative to choose the experimental class are even more abnormal among the top students.
[Whether it is true or not, you will know after the midterm exam in early November. I promise you will be very happy.]
"It's better to have a difficult level, otherwise a test that is too ordinary will not be challenging and will lose its fun."
[Don't be too crazy, kid! ]
"If you're not crazy, how can you be called a young man? Don't you agree?"
[Okay, I know you are awesome! Are you free this week? ]
"I'm free except for Saturday, Sunday and Friday night."
【Wait for me.】
There was a slight sound of paper rubbing against each other from the other side of the phone.
[Come to my office at 7 o'clock tomorrow night. I have something to talk to you about. It's very important.]
"okay, I get it."
【Please bring your paper with you.】
"clear."
[That's it, I won't disturb your lunch break. ]
"Goodbye, Professor Xiao."
【goodbye. 】
