Fu Huixing, who usually falls asleep as soon as class starts, is actually asking her for study advice!
What has happened to this world? Have the Three-Body aliens come to attack Earth?
Or is it the end of the world, and the school bully Fu Huixing has realized that in his limited lifespan, only by doing some unbearable things can he extend his life as much as possible?
It's truly terrifying.
What on earth has happened to Fu Huixing? Who has influenced him so greatly?
What did the homeroom teacher do to him while she wasn't around?
My dear homeroom teacher, with your abilities, being a mere class teacher is a waste of your talents. You should join the United Front Work Department to persuade the beautiful country (USA) to abandon hegemonism and racial discrimination, and jointly build a beautiful blue planet.
Fu Huixing's main question was how he could quickly improve his grades.
Even if he had never helped her before, Shi Li would enthusiastically offer advice. For someone who wants to change their situation and study seriously, regardless of their current grades, Shi Li would never look down on them. Instead, she finds such people quite admirable.
Shi Li asked him to send over his report card so she could diagnose the problem and help him improve his grades quickly based on it.
Shi Li herself had always been steady and methodical, with a bit of cleverness, and her habit of practicing problems had led to her current grades.
But everyone's situation is different. With her good grades, Shi Li could identify the weak points in others' problem-solving approaches and work on overcoming them one by one.
A few minutes later, Fu Huixing sent over his test papers and report card.
Shi Li told him to [wait a moment] and began carefully examining his papers, taking out pen and paper to analyze them.
About an hour later, Shi Li finished analyzing his main subject papers. Worried he might be getting impatient, she asked, [Are you still there?]
Fu Huixing replied quickly, almost as soon as Shi Li's message was sent: [Yes]
Finding typing too troublesome, Shi Li decided to send a voice message instead. She gave a thorough analysis of his grades this semester, which areas he needed to build a foundation in, and which topics he could tackle more advanced problems in.
Although Shi Li's analysis took a long time, explaining it to him only took ten minutes. Afterwards, she sent over her written notes in case he hadn't heard clearly.
Fu Huixing's reply came quickly, also as a voice message. He seemed unaccustomed to using voice chat in messaging apps, his voice sounding a bit tense and unnatural.
"By the way, I noticed your liberal arts scores are better than your science scores. For the second year of high school when you choose your track, are you planning to study liberal arts or sciences? If you've already decided, I won't bother looking at the other three subjects."
Immediately feeling that her words sounded overly utilitarian, as if studying was only for grades, Shi Li added an explanation, "After all, we're high school students. We can say we're learning knowledge to enrich ourselves, but the ultimate goal is really just for the college entrance exam."
Realizing she sounded even more utilitarian, Shi Li gave up trying to explain. When it came to studying, she was indeed very utilitarian.
Fu Huixing replied with a text message: [What you said makes sense.]
At least he had good judgment.
Fu Huixing: [I'm not sure yet whether I should choose liberal arts or sciences. Do you have any suggestions?]
Shi Li: [It depends on your own interests. Science subjects might make future employment easier, but even if you end up studying a major with zero employment prospects, your family can probably support you, right?]
Fu Huixing: [What about you? Are you planning to study liberal arts or sciences?]
Shi Li: [Probably sciences. I'm too lazy to change classes.]
Fu Huixing: [What you said makes sense. Sciences would be beneficial for future employment. I think I want to choose sciences. Could you please help me figure out how to improve my science scores? They're all quite poor.]
[No problem]
Having finished looking at the main subjects, Shi Li had gained experience and was able to review physics, chemistry, and biology more quickly.
After completing all this, she received Fu Huixing's thanks.
Shi Li felt a bit excited and said, [If you want to improve your grades in a short time, I actually have some good methods. Look at Gao Yun, after half a semester of intense training, she moved up ten places in the class rankings this final exam. If you don't mind...]
[Thank you very much then]
[No problem]
Shi Li was already well-versed in arranging one-on-one courses, and had even contacted teachers from training institutions.
The teachers weren't having an easy time either, having to reply to messages late at night, but Shi Li had brought them another big client, so the teachers who would receive commissions could only be happy.
Shi Li sent him the arranged course schedule, along with contact information for each subject's teacher.
Shortly after sending the schedule, Fu Huixing called her.
Shi Li thought he might find the course arrangement too full and not want to attend. She was thinking, "You say you want to improve your grades, but with this kind of attitude of fearing hardship and difficulties, how can you improve?"
"Thank you for arranging the courses for me," he began hesitantly. "It's just that I heard the courses you arranged for Gao Yun were very full. Will this be enough for me to improve my grades quickly?"
Gao Yun's extracurricular schedule wasn't a secret in the class. She had once posted it in a small group chat that didn't include Shi Li, complaining that Shi Li was a demon who had scheduled her courses so tightly that she had no time to rest or hang out with everyone.
It was surprising that he wasn't complaining about the courses being too full. She had only ever seen people complain about having too many classes, never someone worried about having too few. He was really strange.
Shi Li explained, "You're different from Gao Yun. Your foundation is much better than hers. She hadn't been studying seriously before."
"You're not an outsider, so I'll be frank with you. I deliberately arranged so many courses for her not just to improve her grades, but also to immerse her in the sea of knowledge, hoping to cure her of her lovesickness and keep her mind off boys."
"By the way, you're not lovesick, are you?" Shi Li asked him. "If you have that tendency, I can also arrange your courses to be more packed."
