Meeting you in autumn

Ding-a-ling, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Guan Yu grabbed Jing Yi's arm impatiently, but just as she opened her mouth to question him, a voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Ah..." Guan Yu's words were cut off by a voice that left no room for refusal.

"Guan Yu, Jing Yi, you two won't be in class next period. I've already told your homeroom teacher. Come outside with me for a moment," the math teacher said sternly, while tidying up his books.

Her voice carried an air of authority that was irresistible.

"Damn, why isn't this perk for me? I don't want to go to my old teacher's class," Chen Fangsheng said dejectedly, his face full of envy.

"Heh, you wish! It's already a mercy of Abbess Miejue not to drag you along to give her a good scolding. You call that a benefit? Are you sure it's not a nightmare for you?" Chen Feng walked over and mocked.

Because the math teacher was serious and demanding in class, had a unique teaching style, and spoke sharply but not vulgarly, the students disliked her. However, her teaching quality was extremely high, so everyone in the class called her "Extinction Master".

"Then forget it, I'll just sit in the classroom obediently." Chen Fang became obedient immediately upon hearing that he would be scolded; he was scared.

Guan Yu and Jing Yi exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt and confusion in each other's eyes. Then, the two followed their teacher to a quiet place where few people came and went.

"Do you know why I called you out here?" The math teacher's tone was gentle and kind, a stark contrast to his previous stern and cold demeanor.

Guan Yu shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Jing Yi remained as indifferent as ever, showing no fear whatsoever, and even a hint of impatience in his expression. He simply stood there silently.

Seeing their different reactions, she smiled helplessly.

"Sigh, these two kids, one is willing to make a fuss and the other is willing to be spoiled," she couldn't help but sigh to herself.

"Wow, even Abbess Miejue can smile!!" Guan Yu exclaimed in shock as she looked at the smile on her math teacher's face.

The math teacher noticed Guan Yu's inner turmoil and decided to cut to the chase, saying directly, "There's a math competition recently, organized by Laicheng Group, and it's very prestigious."

"Furthermore, the contestants are elites from various universities, and the first-place winner will receive a guaranteed admission to university. I think this is a very rare opportunity for you."

"We don't need it," the math teacher said, and Jing Yi refused without even thinking.

Guan Yu looked at Jing Yi in surprise, her face full of confusion, but she didn't say anything.

"Jing Yi, this is a very rare opportunity," the math teacher tried to persuade him further.

"Thank you, teacher, but we don't want to participate," Jing Yi said firmly.

Seeing Jing Yi's determination, the math teacher had no choice but to start with Guan Yu.

"Guan Yu, what do you think?" The math teacher turned to look at Guan Yu and said gently.

Guan Yu glanced at Jing Yi, and without the teacher noticing, touched Jing Yi's clothes with her hand before turning her gaze to the teacher.

"Teacher, since this is a rare opportunity, I want to participate and give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi frowned slightly and looked at Guan Yu with some confusion, trying to find a clue in her words, but to no avail.

Noticing Jing Yi's burning gaze, Guan Yu gave him a reassuring look and continued.

"I think this is an opportunity to hone our abilities, and I also want to see just how capable the elites from various universities really are."

"Pfft~, I think you're trying to embarrass them, aren't you?" the math teacher said with a fond smile.

"Oh, it's not that. I just wanted to see how strong they were."
