The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 74: Chapter 73 I have a question, pretty urgent

Lu Mian was unaware of Sui Yuan’s intentions, as her fingers flew across the keyboard in response.

[Yuanyuan, stop messing around. The exam and seating arrangements are all set, we can’t change them.]

[Others might not be able to change it, but you can!]

Lu Mian couldn’t help but smile, staring at the text as if she could see Sui Yuan shaking his Little Baldy head, grinning slyly at her.

[How many points do you want?] she replied.

[As long as I do better than Lu Xinnuan!]

Lu Mian: …

How the heck did Lu Xinnuan get dragged into this again?!

Before she could say anything else, Ding Cai, who had left the classroom and now returned, stood at the back door waving at her.

“Lu Mian, come to my office for a moment.”

“Here I go…”

Lu Mian rubbed her temples, thinking, does Teacher Ding have nothing better to do than to keep an eye on her every day?

She leisurely put her phone in her pocket and, with an I-don’t-care attitude, shoved her hands into her pockets and followed him to the office.

Without Sun Jiaying, the physics group office had a more harmonious atmosphere.

Ding Cai pulled out a chair for her and said in a low, mysterious voice, “The monthly test is tomorrow. How about I give you some key points to focus on…”

“…” Lu Mian felt somewhat conflicted.

She carelessly drew circles with her toes on the ground and said calmly and lazily, “Teacher Ding, I don’t need it.”

Ding Cai: “…”

His enthusiasm was caught in his throat as several teachers walked into the office, forcing him to swallow it back down.

“Have the admission tickets for your class’s competition been printed yet?”

“Not yet.”

“There’s a printer at Teacher Ding’s, upload it to him and get them printed out together.”

As they spoke, they looked back at Ding Cai, “Teacher Ding, sorry to trouble you, just print your class’s tickets as well.”

“Our class…”

Ding Cai knew very well that, apart from Lu Mian, no one in his class had taken the initiative to sign up for the competition. Freshmen didn’t have a sufficient grasp of the material; participation in such a competition meant either being a top student or cannon fodder.

But since Lu Mian didn’t turn in her registration form on her initiative, and he hadn’t asked again.

After all, with Lu Mian’s historical performance, participating or not didn’t make much difference.

The teachers on the other side kept sighing.

“Our class has no hope for this competition. The top students from Class 1, Senior 3, are not to be underestimated.”

“We’re just there to make up the numbers. You can’t have nobody sign up, that would be a real embarrassment!”

“That’s true! Teacher Ding, what about your class?” A teacher turned their gaze to Ding Cai but then remembered something and quickly added, “I forgot, you are Class 25.”

The other person spoke frankly, with no malicious intent.

But the veiled implication of Class 25 was understood by all the teachers present.

The young and recently appointed Ding Cai looked quite embarrassed, scratching his head and smiling, at a loss for words.

Lu Mian, with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, suddenly interrupted him, her voice faint, “Teacher Ding, may I use your computer for a moment?”

“… Wait, I’ll print out the admission tickets for these teachers first.”

“Teacher, I have a question, and it’s quite urgent.” Lu Mian insisted.

“What question?”

Ding Cai leaned over while working on the computer.

“It’s about this physics problem.” Lu Mian quickly scribbled a line of text on a piece of paper and pushed it over.

[Place a rigid Earth with a mass of m in free space…] (PS: The question is sourced from the internet since the author is not proficient in physics…)

Ding Cai was initially just giving it a side-glance, but his eyes lit up when he saw the problem.

As a physics teacher, he naturally had an interest in physics problems.

“You can use the computer; let me look at this problem first.” Ding Cai willingly stepped away from the computer.

Lu Mian took a seat, gently adjusted the screen angle, and started typing rapidly on the keyboard.
