Start as a top student after transmigrating.

The next day.

Chen Dong arrived at the classroom with dark circles under his eyes, took out his books, stuffed his backpack into the desk, and then lay down on the desk to sleep.

Last night I spent more than half an hour chatting with Han Ning'er and comforting her before going home. By the time I got home and washed up, it was already 1 a.m., and I still had to rush to finish my manuscript, so I only got a little over four hours of sleep.

How can I not be sleepy?

The class representatives were collecting homework. Although there were no classes on Sunday afternoon, the teachers did not let them off the hook and assigned them some homework. In addition, evening self-study was their time to do problems.

When the class representative passes by the back row, they usually just skip it. Everyone knows how valuable the students in the back row are, so they shouldn't cause trouble.

"Huh~"

Just as English class representative Fu Qiong was about to turn around, she was surprised to see Chen Dong sleeping with his homework on his desk.

"Is Dong-ge doing his homework?"

Fu Qiong took it out of curiosity, flipped through it and found it was still English homework. She glanced at Chen Dong to make sure he was sleeping, so she didn't call him and just took it away.

Actually, the homework Chen Dong did wasn't assigned by the teacher. He didn't review according to the teacher's pace at all; he just wrote one English essay a week as Ye Wanwan requested, just like he requested of Liu Yumo.

It just so happens that Guo Rong assigned an essay as well.

This little incident didn't affect Chen Dong at all. He fell asleep almost instantly on the table and slept soundly from morning self-study until the end of the first get out of class.

Even when Guo Rong deliberately walked to the back row to give a lecture while wearing a little bee on her arm, she didn't wake him up.

"Teacher Yang, Chen Dong from your class has started sleeping in class again."

As soon as he got back to his office, Guo Rong brought up the matter.

If this had happened before, Yang Xuesen would probably have had a stress reaction upon hearing the teacher complain, and would have gone to find Chen Dong without saying a word, and rushed home immediately.

But after asking Chen Dong a question in class last time, he believed he understood Chen Dong's study habits, so this time he wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled and said:

"Teacher Guo, please don't be angry. Chen Dong's situation is a bit special."

Guo Rong was stunned.

The other teachers immediately looked up.

Old Yang is actually speaking up for Chen Dong, what's going on?

Yang Xuesen explained with a smile, "That kid isn't lazy; he just studies very late every day. Besides, with his foundation, he can manage his own time more effectively than following our pace."

"Him? Studying late into the night?" Shuai Chaorong was the first to disbelieve it.

Sleeping in class and then claiming to have stayed up all night studying—this excuse might be somewhat believable coming from a top student, but it's practically unbelievable coming from Chen Dong.

"I asked Ye Wanwan, and Chen Dong now asks her for tutoring every noon, and he also asks a top student from a middle school for tutoring after school, studying until around midnight before going home," Yang Xuesen said with a smile.

Bringing Chen Dong back isn't as simple as just having him sit in the classroom. We need to understand his usual behavior, especially since we've also asked Ye Wanwan for tutoring.

Don't neglect your own studies and negatively impact his most prized disciple.

Judging from the feedback Ye Wanwan received, Chen Dong was not only studying, but also working very hard, and his learning talent was terrifying. Ye Wanwan thought this was definitely an exaggeration, but at least he was really working hard.

"Really?" Guo Rong was somewhat skeptical, and the other teachers were also doubtful.

"What did Teacher Guo say the other day? Don't be prejudiced or have preconceived notions. He was sleeping in my class the other day, but when I asked him to answer a question, he got it right. How could he have this effect without trying?" Yang Xuesen presented evidence.

"It really is like the sun rising in the west," Shuai Chaorong remarked with a smile.

Even academically weak students can work this hard?

"Fine, as long as he's trying his best and it's not affecting his classes, let him study according to his own situation." Guo Rong didn't say anything more.

Although she either did other subjects' problems or slept in class, which she didn't particularly like, she didn't correct her since Teacher Yang had already said so.

Back at her desk, Guo Rong unscrewed her water bottle, took a sip, and then moved over the assignments she had collected that morning to begin grading.

"Um?"

After grading just a few papers, she exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Chen Dong actually handed in his homework?"

"Really? He did his homework? Let's see how it went?" Yang Xuesen was even more pleased.

He saw the improvement in math, and he could even get high scores on his Chinese homework. If he could also improve his English, he would be even closer to getting into a good vocational college.

"Hey, I have to say, his essay is really good." Guo Rong was also curious about Chen Dong's homework, and after taking a closer look, her eyes instantly brightened.

"Really, what score would you give it?"

Yang Xuesen happily moved closer. Everyone has their own expertise; he was a math teacher and didn't know much English, so the score was the best judgment for him.

Shuai Chaorong and Zhou Houdong were equally curious.

"The vocabulary is very rich, the grammar is perfect, and the cohesive vocabulary is also very good. If it were a regular test, I might give it a perfect score. Even by strict standards, I would definitely give it 23 or 24." Guo Rong quickly gave it 24 points.

"What was the maximum score for an English essay again?"

"25 points is the maximum score."

"Isn't 24 close to a perfect score?"

The teachers in the office were all shocked, and Yang Xuesen's eyes widened in disbelief.

Chen Dong scored 24 points on his English essay, just one point away from a perfect score.

"It seems Chen Dong really has a talent for writing; he can get near-perfect scores on both Chinese and English essays," Zhou Houdong remarked.

Chen Dong really knows how to surprise people.

Not only did she study hard, but she did so well, almost getting full marks on both essays.

"English and Chinese are still somewhat different. Mastering a sufficient vocabulary makes it easy to get a high score. Judging from this essay, Chen Dong's English has likely made great progress," Guo Rong said.

"Really?" Yang Xuesen smiled even more broadly.

"Perhaps in the mock exam, Chinese won't be his only strength." Guo Rong was increasingly satisfied with the essay, and even more satisfied with Chen Dong.

The fact that I was sleeping just now doesn't seem like a big deal anymore.

No, I still need to urge her; perhaps Chen Dong's English will bring her a pleasant surprise.

"He's studying English and Chinese, and Mr. Yang is supervising his math studies. I wonder if he's made any progress in his combined science subjects," Shuai Chaorong muttered, showing some interest in Chen Dong's school.

At first, he didn't think much of it; he'd seen far too many people who only had a fleeting interest.

However, as he scored high marks in both Chinese and English essays, Mr. Yang was given further feedback in class, and his performance in Chinese, mathematics, and English was truly remarkable.

What about the combined science subjects?

"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to check out that kid's biology skills."

"And chemistry, I need to test him."

The biology and chemistry teachers became curious.

"I doubt it." Shuai Chaorong shook his head and clicked his tongue twice.

"Old General, what do you mean?"

"Biochemistry, that's a subject even dogs wouldn't study."

"How good can you be at physics?"

The three science teachers joked with each other and even made a bet to test Chen Dong's science skills in these three subjects.

Seeing this, Yang Xuesen said, "If you want to try, then give it a shot. Anyway, I've already tried math, and he's really studying hard and making good progress."

"Not to mention Chinese, just based on the level of composition, passing is definitely not difficult," Zhou Houdong said.

"With this level of English composition, it means your vocabulary and grammar are quite good. Your score shouldn't be lower than your Chinese score," Guo Rong added.

Shuai Chaorong and the other two: "..."

What do you mean? So you think only you can do well in your subjects, and we can't teach them well?
