The next morning, as soon as Jiang Moxi walked into the classroom and was about to switch to sleep mode, Mu Wanting got all gossipy with her:
"Moxi, you know what? Our high math teacher is pregnant, she's gonna have a baby."
"It's not like you're the one having the baby, what's there to be happy about."
Jiang Moxi picked up her textbook and placed it on her forehead, adopting a "I'm dead, for queries burn paper" attitude, indicating her refusal to communicate with Mu Wanting.
But once Mu Wanting starts gossiping, she's like a car without brakes.
She flipped Jiang Moxi's textbook open and kept chattering:
"It's not that I'm happy about her having a baby, I heard she's going home to nest and won't be our high math teacher anymore.
Because our Technical College is extremely short on high math teachers, so the school borrowed their most handsome high math teacher, Xiao Zhong, from First University."
Jiang Moxi roughly understood now, Mu Wanting was not happy about the teacher having a baby, but about the arrival of a handsome new teacher!
Too bad, she wasn't really into handsome teachers and covered her forehead with the textbook again.
However, this did nothing to affect Mu Wanting's yearning for the handsome teacher, she propped her chin with hands, gazing towards the blackboard, her eyes brimming with joy and anticipation, cheeks flushed, drunk without drinking.
"I came across Teacher Xiao's class on a livestreaming software before, he is really handsome. Especially when he's solving problems, like a graceful willow swaying in the wind!"
She opened Jiang Moxi's textbook again and leaned in close to her:
"Moxi, how do you think my face looks today? Should I put on some more blush to make myself look more lively and cute?"
Jiang Moxi struggled to open her eyes, glancing at her face that was about as red as a monkey's, and gave a praise that was emotionless and insincere.
"No need, you look great today, every gesture oozes charm. It even makes me think of the saying, 'Such beauty is not of this world, if not a demon, then a fox.' Ethereal, so beautiful I dare not recognize..."
"Then I'll wait peacefully for the Prince of my dreams to come to class."
Mu Wanting, floating on cloud nine, placed the textbook back on Jiang Moxi's head and eagerly anticipated at the classroom entrance.
And Jiang Moxi got her wish too, falling into a deep sleep with the textbook covering her.
But today seemed to be a bad day for Jiang Moxi, she had just fallen asleep when she felt something shaking her.
Barely opening her eyes, Jiang Moxi saw Mu Wanting coming close to her, whispering, "Moxi, Teacher Xiao wants you to stand up and answer a question."
Apart from Mu Wanting, she found all the other classmates in the room staring at her.
Especially Lai Xueer, with a schadenfreude expression on her face.
Jiang Moxi's eyebrows instantly furrowed enough to kill a fly.
The previous high math teacher didn't have so many issues.
Even if she slept obliviously in the classroom, that kind-hearted female teacher would never wake her during class, let alone ask her to answer questions or do anything that might embarrass her.
At most, she would ask Jiang Moxi to see her after class, asking if she hadn't slept well the night before, or if she needed help or something.
Yes, that female teacher preferred to inspire students and ignite their interest in learning.
But this new teacher, Xiao Zhong, clearly excelled at standing on a moral high ground, pointing fingers at the students.
Seeing Jiang Moxi had opened her eyes but had not stood up, he sneered:
"This student, do you need half a period to get over your grumpiness from waking up?"
"Not really." After waking up, Jiang Moxi stood up.
In fact, she understood that Xiao Zhong, invited from First University to teach at Technical College, really wanted to make an impression and show off to everyone.
So as long as he didn't cross her bottom line, she would cooperate with Xiao Zhong as much as possible, until his time at Technical College was up.
"So tell me, how do you solve this problem?" Xiao Zhong pointed at a problem he had just written on the blackboard.
Jiang Moxi glanced at it casually, "Don't know how to."
Right now she is a poor student, how could a poor student possibly solve such a complicated problem?
```
"But Xiao Zhong immediately rebuked her coldly: 'Is it glorious not to know how to solve the problem?'"
"I didn't say it was glorious, I'm just telling the truth," Jiang Moxi looked directly at Xiao Zhong, her gaze open and honest.
This was also her first time looking him in the eye.
He was indeed not bad looking, with well-proportioned features.
However, he was several notches below the suave and debonair image that Mu Wanting had described.
Plus, likely due to his internet fame, he was somewhat restless, with an obvious air of arrogance all over him.
The look he gave Jiang Moxi was as disdainful as if he was looking at trash.
"If you can't do it, then why don't you listen attentively? Did your parents pay tuition for you to sleep here? With such a poor attitude, go back and have your parents come talk to me, then I'll consider whether to continue teaching you or not!"
Jiang Moxi actually wanted to say that she earned her own tuition through part-time work, so her parents had no say over her sleeping here.
But she also understood that arguing now would only label her as disrespectful to her elders, utterly unable to vindicate herself.
So, she asked Xiao Zhong: "So if I can solve that problem, I don't need to call my parents, right?"
Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng were both very concerned about their face - how could they allow themselves to appear at school over her academic issues?
Xiao Zhong sneered: "Didn't you just say you couldn't do it? Now you can? Fine then, if you can solve this problem, there's no need to call your parents."
Yes, Xiao Zhong believed that Jiang Moxi couldn't possibly solve the problem.
After all, he had already learned a bit about these classes of students before coming to teach at Technical College.
The ugly and useless girl who also claimed to be the sleeping goddess of class was Jiang Moxi, Technical College's top underachiever.
Previously, her advanced math scores were basically hovering around 20 points.
With such grades, how could she possibly solve such a comprehensive problem?
Hence, Xiao Zhong was now waiting to see Jiang Moxi's pathetic attempt and then call her parents in to denounce her for sleeping in class and disrespecting the teacher.
The other students in the class also thought it unlikely that Jiang Moxi could solve the problem.
So more or less everyone felt that Jiang Moxi being called out by her parents was a foregone conclusion.
A few students looked at Jiang Moxi with sympathy.
Of course, there were also those like Lai Xueer, who were mocking Jiang Moxi both openly and behind her back.
Even Lai Xueer, a top student, couldn't understand the problem on the blackboard - and Jiang Moxi claimed she could do it?
Such blatant lying didn't even need a draft!
But soon, she would taste the bitterness of trying to punch above her weight.
Definitely, Teacher Xiao would scold her terribly, parents would be called in, and in the end, she would be publicly criticized before the whole school!
The one most concerned about Jiang Moxi in the class was only Mu Wanting.
She knew better than anyone how poor Jiang Moxi's grades were.
Getting around 20 points on each test paper, and those points were all thanks to copying her multiple-choice answers.
Now, even she couldn't understand the problem on the blackboard - how could Jiang Moxi possibly solve it?
But no matter what, she was Mu Wanting's desk mate - alive as her person, dead as her Dead Ghost!
Therefore, she couldn't just watch Jiang Moxi resign herself to fate!
While others were busy mocking Jiang Moxi, Mu Wanting had already picked up her pen and quickly wrote down all the solution steps and formulas she could think of on paper…
Just as Jiang Moxi was about to go to the podium, she hurriedly stuffed the note into Jiang Moxi's hand.
This scene was precisely captured by Xiao Zhong.
He immediately approached Jiang Moxi, mockery on his face: "What's that you've got in your hand?"
