151: You are so good, Chen Fang, you are fooling the old teacher!

Bai Wenbin’s breathing hitched.

“Dan”? “Dan”? “Dan”?

You need to add the last character!

Zhao Jin also widened her eyes slightly, holding her breath. Holy crap? Forget Bai Wenbin, even she couldn't take it.

Chen Fang put down his notebook and added the character “Dan”.

Bai Wenbin instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Look, look, you almost suffocated, didn’t you?” Zhao Jin quickly said.

Chen Fang also advised, “Teacher Bai, if you have the time and conditions, you should try to adjust a bit.”

“Alright.” Bai Wenbin conceded.

…

Meanwhile, in the lounge next door, Xie Yunxuan asked his assistant, “Have you asked the interactive operations team?”

Xie Yunxuan’s lips curved slightly upward, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

He felt that he had performed exceptionally well in the previous segment, overcoming all challenges and leading his team to score 3 points.

No matter what others thought, he felt that he was the most outstanding, the captain!

With such a good performance, his popularity must be very high, attracting many new fans, right?

The assistant awkwardly scratched his head, “I asked.”

“Why are you so slow, like squeezing toothpaste? Speak up. Is Teacher Yue’s topic the most popular? That’s normal, after all, she’s a pop star, and it’s her first time on a variety show.”

The assistant’s eyes darted around, his throat moved, and then he cautiously looked at him, “The most popular person right now is Teacher Chen.”

Xie Yunxuan widened his eyes slightly, “Why? What did he do just now?”

“He has been active in the music and film industries recently, so he has a larger fan base. This is his first appearance with a nearly bald hairstyle.”

The assistant gripped the edge of his phone, quickly trying to provide emotional value.

“But Teacher Xie, your performance was much better than his. He was eye-catching purely because his head was shining, which was a contrast to his usual image. Netizens noticed this contrast at a glance, so many passersby also participated in the discussion.”

“As for you, only those who patiently watch the variety show can appreciate your excellence; your excellence is deeper and more subtle!”

“Even so, a significant portion of the audience for this variety show are middle school students, and they are our target demographic. Although fewer people are discussing us, the fan conversion rate is high, right?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunxuan felt much better.

Losing to a hairstyle, wouldn’t that just infuriate someone?

Xie Yunxuan took a deep breath.

“It’s fine, keep an eye on the data.”

The next segment is classroom Q&A, and he absolutely must steal the spotlight!

Chen Fang, you stole my popularity, today when I get the task card, I’ll send you to clean the toilets.

The assistant looked troubled, “Still going to ask? The interactive operations team is about to kick me out.”

“Buy them some gifts. Hurry up and go!”

…

At four in the afternoon, the eight people sat in a semicircle in the classroom, and the program began filming.

Soon, Chen Fang heard the sound of the door opening.

Turning around, he saw a kind-faced old man with half-white hair carrying a stack of materials walk in. He looked to be sixty or seventy, but his back was straight, and he looked energetic. He was probably a retired teacher from some school.

The newcomer nodded to them, walked to the podium, and said, “Hello, students. I am your homeroom teacher today. You can just call me Teacher Wang.”

“Hello, Teacher Wang.”

“I used to be a dean at a nearby middle school and just retired the year before last. Today, I’ll test your knowledge. The scope is mainly middle school, occasionally it might be beyond the syllabus, so everyone be mentally prepared. We’ll start with a quick-response round, then move to a turn-based Q&A, and finally enter a written test round.”

“In the quick-response and turn-based Q&A rounds, winners will receive a flag for scoring. If you answer incorrectly, you will receive a random punishment.”

Saying that, Teacher Wang opened the screen on the blackboard behind him, clicked on a random drawing software, and smiled kindly, “Punishments include flour gun attacks, weird-flavored drink challenges, wearing ugly headgear for 10 minutes, and so on.”

Hearing “ugly headgear,” Chen Fang looked at Yue Qingzhu.

Would that be a reward for her?

Yue Qingzhu looked up and her gaze met his, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her eyes.

Why is he looking at me? Is it because of that pink fish head?

That’s not ugly headgear, okay?

Uh, if it’s that kind, can I take it home after I get punished?

Next to them, Zhao Jin and Tang Xiaoyu were full of fighting spirit. The program group’s main question scope should be junior and senior high school, after all, university subjects are too diverse. They were only in their second year of university, so they still remembered a lot of high school knowledge!

After Teacher Wang finished explaining the rules, he smiled and said, “Okay, let’s start now.”

The questions in the first quick-response round were relatively simple.

“If the two legs of a right triangle are 3 and 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse?”

“What is the next line after ‘The desolate land of Bashan and Chushui’?”

“What is the next line after ‘Suddenly sat up in a dying illness’?”

“What is the next line after ‘Drink today if you have wine today’?”

Aside from occasionally veering into strange topics, the overall process went smoothly, mainly relying on quick reflexes.

Soon, they entered the second segment, the more difficult turn-based Q&A round.

Teacher Wang walked in front of Yue Qingzhu, “Let’s start from here.”

Yue Qingzhu stood up, her hands clasped in front of her, standing obediently. She had tied her long hair into a fluffy bun that afternoon, with a few playful strands falling by her ears, making her look youthful and lively.

Teacher Wang pointed at the projector, “Student Yue, please look at the question: Given tana = 2, what is (sin² a - cos² a + 2) / (2sin² a + cos² a) equal to? A. 13/9, B. 6/7.”

Yue Qingzhu widened her eyes.

Huh? Is the program group joking?

After looking for two seconds, “Uh, I guess B.”

“Incorrect answer.”

Yue Qingzhu blinked, “Then can I choose the headgear?”

【Holy crap, hahahaha】

【I would scoff at this kind of question in high school. But now I’m a university student, scratching my head.】

【Just started university, still remember.】

【Graduated from university 7 years ago, already forgotten everything.】

【Just say you want to punish Little Bamboo directly.】

Teacher Wang smiled helplessly, “This is random.”

Yue Qingzhu pressed the draw punishment button, and after a few seconds, pressed the pause button. A line of text popped up on the screen: Mimic the emoji “Subway old man looking at phone,” along with an emoji.

Yue Qingzhu’s mouth was slightly open, her eyes wide.

Does the program group have to be so malicious?

“Alright.” Yue Qingzhu quickly, before the camera got too close, mimicked the action in the picture, picking up her phone and holding it far away. She lowered her head, frowned slightly, her lips turned down, her whole face squeezed into an expression that was both disgusted and confused, squinting as if trying to see something extremely absurd, or as if her eyes were stung.

【Screenshot hahahaha, now I understand why it has to be so difficult.】

【Program group did a great job, hahaha.】

【I still like the little zombie costume (*╹▽╹*)】

…

Teacher Wang continued to move forward.

This time, the questions were getting harder and harder.

Soon, Teacher Wang walked in front of Chen Fang. By then, among the previous 6 people, only Tang Xiaoyu and Zhao Jin answered correctly, and Liang Yan guessed correctly.

The other three were all punished.

Yue Qingzhu left behind an emoji.

Xie Yunxuan got a face full of flour.

Bai Wenbin was looking out the window, wearing a plastic poop prop with a look of despair.

Teacher Wang walked in front of Chen Fang and asked, “Student Chen, please listen to the question. The human heart includes the left ventricle and the right ventricle. When a person is standing upright, which direction is the left ventricle more biased towards? Up or down?”

Chen Fang pondered for a moment, then looked at Teacher Wang with a firm gaze, “Xiangmian.”

Teacher Wang was slightly stunned, his brain quickly processed his answer, and seeing his firm gaze, “Hmm, yes, that’s right, it’s down. The left ventricle is located at the lower left-back of the heart, and its main function is to pump blood. Congratulations, Student Chen.”

The four singers opposite, who were sensitive to sound, looked up simultaneously.

They just seemed to hear “Xiangmian,” right?

“No…” Xie Yunxuan was about to refute but felt a sense of powerlessness.

How could he refute? Should he ask Chen Fang to say it again?

The answer has already been announced, Chen Fang would definitely say “down.”

Did he mishear?

At the same time, the audience in the live stream had various reactions.

【How come I just heard “up”?】

【It was “down.”】

【He wouldn’t have said “xiang mian” (noodles), would he? Like, correct or incorrect, answered “crispy.”】

【Huh? Wanted to drag the progress bar, found out it’s live, helpless.】

The audience couldn’t drag, but the director could.

Backstage, Director Liu looked at Chen Fang’s firm gaze in the replay, and heard the pronunciation “xiang mian,” his lips twitched.

Good heavens, I told you to create excitement, to play pranks, but it was meant for your classmates.

Chen Fang, you actually tricked the old teacher!
