1987 My Era

Chapter 170, Yu Shuheng's show of strength (Subscribe please!)
One night of autumn wind, the sky is as blue as a quiet lake, and the big clouds are like small islands floating on the lake.

The three-day National Day holiday passed by in a flash, and Statistics Class 1 welcomed its first class, College English.

If senior year of high school is the devil's camp and military training is purgatory, then the freshmen who have just escaped from the devil's camp and purgatory are undoubtedly full of desire and expectation for college life.

Especially for the first class, before the bell rang, the classroom was already packed with people. Everyone was eagerly waiting, full of a sacred feeling.

325, who arrived not too late, had already run out of good seats and could only stay in the last row.

Coincidentally, the people in the front row were from the dormitory of Liu Yue, Zhou Min, Chen Guifen and Li Xian.

In fact, I understand why they sit in the back row. It is because the height of their dormitory is a bit too high. There are 165 people over 4cm tall, which is much taller than other dormitories in the class.

If she sits in the front row, how will the other girls survive?
Little did people know that the shortest girl in the class, Yang Guilin, was only 153cm tall, truly demonstrating what petite means.

After 325 sat down, Li Xian turned around and asked impatiently, "The girls in the class are saying that your dormitory is holding a beauty pageant? Is it true?"

Hearing this, everyone in 325 looked at each other, with inexplicable meanings flashing in their eyes, and they were all speculating fiercely: Who the hell is the traitor?
Seeing that no one in 325 said anything, Li Xian couldn't help but ask Hu Ping and Tang Dailing directly: "Well! I heard that you two lost the beauty pageant to Wei Xiaozhu, and that's why you were punished to eat the fat meat?"

Hearing this, the girls in the front row all turned their heads and stared over.

Tang Dailing lowered his head in a hurry, not daring to look at them, especially Liu Yue.

Being watched by so many girls, Hu Ping felt a little guilty. He said with a fake smile, "We were just joking. Who told you that?"

Li Xian said lamely: "I'm not good at Chinese, but I'm not stupid. I won't betray my friends."

Sure enough, there is Er Gouzi!

The people in dormitory 325 looked at each other again, with murderous eyes.

Li Xian asked Hu Ping again out of curiosity: "Why did you vote for Wei Xiaozhu? Is she really prettier than Yueyue? Or is it like what Li Guoyi said, Yueyue threw your three love letters into the trash can, and you are taking revenge?"

Hu Ping looked embarrassed and turned to glare at Li Guoyi.

Li Guoyi raised his hands in surrender: "Brother Hu, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! I said that in the dormitory. I didn't tell them that there is a traitor in our dormitory."

Hearing this, the people in the front row laughed out loud.

Hu Ping was so angry that he vomited blood. Doesn't this indirectly confirm his crime of taking revenge on his own behalf?
Doesn’t this confirm the fact that he failed in writing a love letter to Liu Yue?
Hu Ping carefully stole a glance at Liu Yue. But Liu Yue ignored him. She had been in the classroom for so long, but she never even glanced at him. Instead, she wrote a note to Li Heng:
The note reads: How about performing a show at the freshman welcome party on October 10th?
As soon as Liu Yue, the most eye-catching student in the class, made a move, the students in the two dormitories became curious about what was written on the paper, but they were too embarrassed to stretch their necks to look at it.

Li Heng picked up the pen and replied simply: Busy, no time.

He was not being perfunctory; he was truly busy. He still had about 100 books and documents to study, so how could he have the time?
Liu Yue finished reading, hesitated, and wrote: Who did you vote for?

Li Heng was speechless. He looked up at Liu Yue who looked as if nothing had happened. He thought to himself, "Do I know you so well? We just stared at each other during military training for a month. Don't be so self-indulgent."

He replied: I didn’t vote.

Liu Yue's eyes stayed on the paper for three seconds, then she grabbed the note with her right hand and put it in her pocket.

The two of them were passing the notes to each other, which stunned the other roommates. They all shouted in their hearts: Hey, hey! This is a public place, can you two be a little more reserved?

"Jingle Bell…"

The bell rang and everyone quieted down. But after waiting for two minutes, the teacher still didn't show up and they started to get restless again.

What's going on?

This is the first class in college!

Another 3 minutes passed, and the front door of the classroom was pushed open, and a woman with long black hair, a black windbreaker, and a scholarly temperament walked in.

With just one glance, the boys and girls in Statistics Class 1 were immediately subdued. Their resentment disappeared, and they sat up straight, looking at the woman in front of them meticulously.

Li Guoyi suppressed his excitement and said, "Holy crap! Is this our beautiful teacher? She's so beautiful!"

Li Guang nodded like a little chicken: "Yes, I want to be the representative of the English class."

The beauty teacher's value far exceeded the expectations of the boys and girls. When they suddenly met, they felt so warm in their hearts and fell in love instantly, as if they had been secretly in love with her for many years.

Li Heng could fully understand the excitement of these hormonal young men. Even though he had beauties like Xiao Han and Song Yu, he couldn't help but sigh: This beautiful teacher's mature charm coupled with a strong scholarly air is quite eye-catching and very lethal!
Even Zhang Bing, who was married, reached out and grabbed Li Heng's hand, saying, "We are in the same class. We are so lucky."

After saying that, Zhang Bing finally realized that he had been too wild and gave Li Heng an unnatural smile.

Li Heng gave him a look that said "I understand", and everything was said without words.

The beautiful teacher put the book on the desk, opened it, then reached into the chalk box, picked up a piece of white chalk, half turned around and wrote on the blackboard: Yu Shuheng.

After writing, she held the chalk and introduced herself in English, saying, "Hello, students. My name is Yu Shuheng, and I will teach you English from now on."

Then she spoke in fluent English about the importance of college English, and spent 10 minutes describing the general plot of the cross-century classic movie "Casablanca", and then...

Then comes the highlight!
She was standing at the side of the podium, smiling and asking, "Do you understand? Can anyone repeat it in English?"

Hmm…! Still speaking in English. To repeat the text on the spot, and to repeat such a long video, even if you are a top student admitted to Fudan University, it is very difficult. This not only tests your English foundation and oral English, but also tests your courage and memory.

More importantly, one quarter of the words Yu Shuheng used in her description are difficult to understand and seriously beyond the syllabus.

What’s more, students nowadays are different from those in later generations. They don’t have mobile phones, computers, or the Internet. They have few ways to learn English and basically rely on self-study.

Didn’t you see that in order to learn English, Zhang Bing had to memorize a dictionary?

When it comes to reading and writing skills, everyone can compete.

As for spoken English? The city kids are probably better. The country kids are worse than the others.

This is the English teacher’s way of showing off his power!

This is a naked show of force!
Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up to answer.

Many people muttered this about their English teacher in their hearts: She is beautiful but has a dark heart.

After waiting for a while, but no one stood up, Yu Shuheng took the roster and called out the names one by one: "Who is the squad leader? Repeat."

Everyone looked at Liu Yue.

Liu Yue stood up and spoke in English for about 7 minutes in one breath, then paused and stopped.

Even so, everyone was still amazed, because Liu Yue did not repeat it randomly, it was basically correct.

Yu Shuheng nodded after listening: "The pronunciation is standard. Although he didn't repeat the original text, he repeated two-thirds of the content with his own understanding. It's very good."

Then she continued to call the roll: "Who is the League Secretary?"

Li Guang stood up with great difficulty, hesitating for less than 2 minutes, and then he hung his head and fell silent. He looked depressed, completely lacking the ambition he had before when he was clamoring to be the representative of the English class.

Yu Shuheng didn't comment and shouted, "Deputy monitor."

The deputy monitor is a girl, but she comes from the countryside. I guess she has never communicated in English, so her spoken English is very poor.

Yu Shuheng also did not comment, and later called all the class leaders.

It turned out that the ones with the highest level were class monitor Liu Yue and cultural and entertainment committee member Zhou Min.

Yu Shuheng stood on the podium, looking down at the roster without saying a word.

The classroom was very quiet. The students were stunned and kept silent.

After a long while, Yu Shuheng raised her head and said a name: "Li Heng, which student is Li Heng? Stand up and repeat it."

Li Heng: "..."

Damn it, you had your underwear stuck to my window the night before, and now you’re asking who I am?

On purpose, absolutely on purpose.

He didn't know what she was thinking, but he couldn't embarrass Teacher Wang Runwen.

Needless to say, facing the attention of the whole class, Li Heng chattered and fluently retold the movie "Casablanca" in one breath.

The pronunciation is so accurate! The spoken language is so fluent! The content is so perfect! The word choice is so incisive! It is no worse than the English teacher!
The whole class stared at him blankly for several seconds, and then, encouraged by the students in Dormitory 325, they burst into applause.

When the applause died down, Yu Shuheng smiled and said, "Very good, it seems that there are still students who are not as talented as they used to be. Student Li Heng has brought us a surprise."

At this point, she paused and looked at Li Heng: "Have you seen the movie Casablanca?"

Of course he had seen it, more than once, but Li Heng didn't admit it because his first 18 years of life didn't allow him to watch movies.

He shook his head.

Yu Shuheng was a little surprised. She had sent a copy of this movie videotape to her best friend Wang Runwen and thought Li Heng had seen it.

On the grounds that Li Heng had a high level of English proficiency, he was immediately appointed as the English class representative.

This appointment aroused great envy among classmates, especially the male classmates.

It is undeniable that apart from her excellent external conditions, Yu Shuheng's teaching method is still very attractive and fulfilling. After two classes, no one found it boring at all and the class was over before they knew it.

As soon as the bell rang for the second period, Yu Shuheng announced the end of get out of class, picked up her books and left without any hesitation.

But she didn't go out the front, but went out the back door. When she passed by Li Heng, Wen Run said, "Come out for a moment."

Seeing the two of them walk out of the classroom door one after the other, the boys in the class were jealous again. Although they knew that there was no possibility that Li Heng and the teacher had crossed the line, it was good to enjoy the view from a close distance.

When she got outside, Yu Shuheng did not stop but continued walking forward without any explanation.

Helplessly, Li Heng had to follow, wondering in his heart what on earth he wanted to talk to him about.
