These few days, Gu Xiqiao had been maintaining a precarious balance of peace with the Gu family, and she was quite satisfied with the current state.

 The aloof deskmate Xiao Yun had become closer to her too, sometimes asking her maths questions humbly. The girl that sat behind her would give her bacon and biscuits from time to time, and even the other students in class became more familiar with her.

 Gu Xiqiao yawned.

 The daily missions issued by the system were all simple and easy to too, and even though these missions were all very small and only earned her one or two points, she was satisfied with the slow pace of things.

 She had also had a burst of popularity in the class from her excellent performance in class, and the class teacher put her in charge of explaining questions that the others had trouble with, The more they asked, the more they realized that her temperament was impeccable—She always explained the questions slowly and steadily, and wouldn’t get impatient no matter how many times she was asked to repeat, a complete contrast from the proud students from the rockets class.

 And so, the affection of everyone in class towards her increased exponentially, to a point where her status rivaled even Old Ban.

 Gu Xiqiao: “…”

 Once the bell rang, he leaned back on the podium and took out his teaching plans, starting revision smoothly and quickly.

 “Gu Xiqiao, do you have any other advice?” After writing down the solution for an analytical geometry question on the blackboard, he knocked on the table, waking up Gu Xiqiao who was going to fall asleep.

 Gu Xiqiao shook awake and stared at the blackboard for a short while, before starting, “Well, in my opinion, we can start with the Hesse Normal Form to prove the line QR, hence solving the first question. Then, we can find the equation of the line AF by using the point P which is on the same points. For the last question, does everyone remember the Lagrange Mean Value Theorem I talked about? We can just use it and substitute the two values in the question to find the answer.”

 As Gu Xiqiao explained, Old Ban wrote out the solutions according to what she had described.

 Using her method, they wouldn’t have to find the equation for hyperbola, so the solution was more concise, and didn’t use a lot of space on the blackboard. The calculations involved were much less, so it would definitely save a lot of time if the students used it in their exams.

 Old Ban waved for Gu Xiqiao to sit down, before knocking on the table and telling the students to do the calculations for themselves. “Jot down the formulas and theorems that Student Gu explains as they are all very useful. Don’t think that you don’t need to learn them because they’re university-level equations. After all, once you learn how to apply them properly, the national finals are going to be a breeze. The method I used earlier was the model answer, but as everyone saw, it was long and had lots of calculations, so it’s easy to mess up. In this last period before the exams, Student Gu here is going to write down some useful equations every day, so take notes!”

 Gu Xiqiao couldn’t help but hold her head. When did she agree to this again?

 And so, the daily task of compiling the past year questions of the national exams and picking out useful equations from it was added to Gu Xiqiao’s daily schedule.

 But other than that, she had spent her days leisurely.

 For the past few days, Wu Hongwen kept on visiting her class, bringing her bottles of milk or chocolates every day.
