Teacher Li looked at Ning Zhen, surprised. Usually, students this age don't like raising their hands to answer questions.
Even the top students in the class will avoid his eyes as soon as they hear the questions and answers session.
It was rare to see such an active classmate. Teacher Li smiled and said, "The classmate who raised her hand, come here."
"Are you a new student? This teacher has never seen you before. What's your name?"
Ning Zhen blushed and said softly, "My name is Ning Zhen."
"Precious¹?"
"Ning Zhen," she said quietly.
The class laughed.
Ning Zhen felt ashamed and a little helpless. Fortunately, Teacher Li called for silence.
"Student Ning Zhen, tell me, what is the answer to this question?"
She glanced down quickly. The question was, 'What is the property of sulfuric acid in the above reaction?'
"The answer is C, it's acidic."
Teacher Li nodded repeatedly and asked Ning Zhen to explain the principle. She organized her thoughts and then spoke slowly and clearly. She understood everything she had listened to.
Teacher Li was very satisfied. He looked at her in approval and asked her to sit down.
Ning Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this question was not difficult. She had a solid foundation in the past and still remembers some simple and basic things.
Chen Dongshu, who liked to watch excitement the most, couldn't help but laugh wildly. "Hahaha! This girl, is she an elementary school student? She has to raise her hand to answer the questions. I will die of laughter."
Lin Zichuan chuckled. In the eyes of those who have not raised their hands to answer questions since childhood, this kind of positive and good student is simply strange.
He turned his head to look at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi rested his head with one hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Mr. Li added supplementary questions and talked about the options mentioning that it was easy to choose wrong, reminding them to pay attention to mistakes next time.
His voice suddenly rose, "Well, is there a classmate who will answer the third sub-question? The volume of gas generated under standard conditions. This is a key question. Remember to take notes if you don't know it."
In the silence, a little hand was raised again.
A strange silence ensued.
Teacher Li coughed. "Is Ning Zhen the only one in the class who knows this question? Can other students be more active?"
The other students were trying hard to hold their laughter.
"Okay, Student Ning Zhen, get up and answer again."
Ning Zhen was a little embarrassed. Even Xie Yu, who hated her, couldn't help laughing, looking at her as if she was mentally retarded.
The key questions were often difficult. Her speech was not as smooth as in the last one, and she hesitated slightly in some places.
But the answer was correct. Although, the process was not perfect.
When she sat down, her forehead had broken in sweats.
In her heart, she silently prayed that the teacher would stop asking questions.
The way Xia Xiaoshi in the back row looked at her changed. The girl in the front row turned out to be a "xueba (academic guru)"?
