Chapter 448: 328 Gu Li Tricks Shen Yunsi_3

As it was the last class on Friday afternoon, and many students were in a hurry to get home for the weekend.

Shen Yunsi glanced at her watch, feigning surprise as she spoke: “Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize class was over. Let’s go, I’ll walk back to the classroom with you.”

She stood up as she spoke.

“Okay,” Yang Qian said, trailing a step behind her.

Shen intentionally walked slowly, a journey that would normally take three minutes took her six.

The loud classroom fell silent at her entry.

Shen Yunsi stepped on to the podium, grinning as she spoke: “Apologies for detaining you for an extra 20 minutes.”

“It’s fine, teacher.”

She was sincere in her apology, and the students didn’t mind, assuring her it was no big deal.

Gu Li rested her chin in her hands, silently watching her performance. Sure enough, the next second, she heard Shen Yunsi say: “Obviously, most of you are taking the sixth level English exam, with only a few of you still stuck at the fourth level. I take these students very seriously. So, I’ve decided to give extra lessons in my free time. I hope everyone will achieve outstanding results, pass the fourth level smoothly, and be ready for next year’s sixth level.”

Hearing this, Gu Li understood; these words were meant for her.

Because, out of everyone, she was the only one taking the fourth-level exam and was unintentionally becoming a drag, holding back the class according to Shen Yunsi.

“Teacher, you are so kind.”

“Indeed, if we’d met you earlier, we’d have passed the sixth level by now.”

“Professor Shen is as beautiful inside as she’s outside.”

…

There were some students in the class who fawned over Shen Yunsi, flattering her through and through.

Shen Yunsi was thrilled, she looked at Gu Li with a malicious grin. “Okay then, I won’t waste any more of your precious weekend time. Those taking the fourth-level exam, please stay. The rest of you may leave.”

“Have a good weekend, teacher.”

“Have a good weekend.”

The students packed their bags and filed out.

Xiang Xiaoyue couldn’t help warning Gu Li, who had been asked to stay back: “Be careful, there’s something fishy here.”

Gu Li winked teasingly: “Don’t worry, she’s bluffing. She can’t do anything to me.”

Xiang Xiaoyue hinted ambiguously, “Alright, I get it. Only one person can control you overtime. Do your best, and return soon to your dear husband’s side. See you Monday.”

“Mmm, bye.”

After seeing Xiang Xiaoyue off, the room was left with only Shen Yunsi on the podium and Gu Li at her desk.

Shen Yunsi snorted with laughter: “Really, Gu Li, were you the only one in the class taking the fourth level? Is your English really that poor?”

She was not bothering to put on a front anymore.

Gu Li retorted nonchalantly: “I appreciate your concern, Teacher Shen, but how do you intend to teach a student as poor as me?”

“How about copying these words on this page, a hundred times?”

Shen Yunsi coldly said, throwing an English newspaper over.

Gu Li caught it with grace, quickly scanned the page Shen pointed at, and laughed. “Teacher Shen, you’re looking down upon me. These simple readings, I’ve already memorized; there’s no need to copy.”

“Haha, boasting without drafting. Gu Li, you’ve got a thick skin.”

The newspaper was hot-off-the-press from this afternoon; Shen Yunsi was sure that Gu Li hadn’t seen it before. How could she possibly have memorized it?

Gu Li didn’t change her expression: “If you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet?”

“Ugh, I don’t want to bet with you.”

Shen Yunsi ignored her. “Copy it 100 times. If you don’t finish, you can’t leave the classroom.”

She crossed her arms, walked over to Gu Li and looked down on her. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep you company as your teacher.”

As for Shen Yunsi, she was free tonight and was more than ready to wear down Gu Li, tormenting her.

Gu Li clenched her fist and took a deep breath: “Teacher, you’re mixing your personal grudge with public issues. Aren’t you afraid I’d complain to the principal?”

“Go ahead.”

Shen Yunsi remained unaffected. “My teaching methods have received unanimous approval from the school. What I’m doing is for your benefit. There’s no personal revenge. The contents of the newspaper I asked you to copy are often used for the fourth level. You can’t reason your way anywhere.”

“Although you’re correct, to force a student who already knows this article like the back of their hand to copy it a hundred times, that’s against the natural order.”

“Is that so? Then go to the principal’s office and recite the contents of the article without missing a single word.”

“You…you… do you need to treat me this way?”

Gu Li feigned trouble.

Shen Yunsi’s eyes flashed, seeing Gu Li’s beautiful face filled with struggle, the sneer at the corner of her mouth becoming more sarcastic. “How come? Don’t dare? Weren’t you just bragging about how great you were? How about we both go to the principal’s office? I’ll give you a chance to show off in front of the principal.”
