Chapter 238: Come Over 0520
Chapter 238
Shen Yue didn\'t mind the looks around her and just smiled. "Apologizing for others has no meaning. Any apology that isn\'t sincere from the heart has no need to be spoken. I\'m apologizing because I want to. Just now in class when I opened my yogurt, I opened it too forcefully and spilled it on Teacher Niu."
Shen Hui: "..."
As Shen Yue spoke, she took out another strawberry yogurt from her bag and put it on Shen Hui\'s desk. "Oh right, I have another one. Have this one."
After leaving the yogurt, Shen Yue left the classroom.
Shen Hui sat alone at her desk with no one approaching to speak to her.
Shen Hui knew this feeling. It was those people fearing her.
Fear was normal.
Only with fear would they want to avoid her rather than harm her further.
She should be feared.
That way it was safer.
As Shen Hui looked at the yogurt Shen Yue had left for her, she poked the straw in and started drinking.
So Shen Yue likes this flavor. Not bad.
As Shen Hui drank, she calculated the time for when Shen Yue would be back.
...
Shen Yue did go to sincerely thank Teacher Niu. She thanked him for giving Shen Hui a chance to display herself on the first day of class and for not rejecting Shen Hui publicly.
This surprised Teacher Niu greatly. He had never expected Shen Yue, who he knew only as someone who slept in class, to notice this kind of thing.
"You and your sister have a good relationship?" Teacher Niu asked.
He expected Shen Yue to nod, but she answered bluntly, "It\'s not considered very good yet, but it will become the best before long."
Teacher Niu understood the implication behind Shen Yue\'s words and didn\'t inquire further. "You didn\'t sleep in class today. That\'s praiseworthy! Before, your brother asked me to watch over you, but now it seems there\'s no need. You also don\'t want to set a bad example for your sister."
Shen Yue nodded. "I won\'t sleep in class again. But Teacher Niu, I have a request I\'d like your help with."
It was the first time Shen Yue had addressed Teacher Niu in a formal way. Teacher Niu became nervous all of a sudden.
It didn\'t seem like this request was a trifling matter.
Teacher Niu felt uneasy inside, but he still agreed, "Go ahead and tell me."
Shen Yue gazed at Teacher Niu earnestly and bowed deeply. In a quiet voice, she said: "My sister Shen Hui is a genius in physics, especially in researching space and time. There are currently few who can reach her level. But being in her current state is dangerous. Of all the people I know, only Teacher Niu has the potential to save her."
Teacher Niu listened, puzzled about what was going on. "Being a genius is a good thing. From class just now, I could also tell your sister is outstanding. She\'s not on the same level as the fledglings in the class. Someone like that having some arrogance is normal..."
"I want her to learn to respect others and be compassionate. Teacher Niu, could you please academically defeat my sister in physics?"
Teacher Niu hesitated a little. True, if it were about defeating other students, he would have readily agreed since he despised bullying the weak with power.
But Shen Hui was clearly different.
Teacher Niu was not confident he could defeat her in the field of physics.
At this time, Shen Yue spoke again: "Teacher Niu, you should have more faith in yourself. I\'ve read your research papers on physics. Back then, there was a light in your eyes."
Teacher Niu looked at Shen Yue in surprise. It was the first time he couldn\'t see her as just a child needing tutoring.
The two gazed at each other for a bit before Teacher Niu finally laughed. "Little Shen Yue, I underestimated you. I should\'ve known no one normal could come from the Shen family. Alright alright, I\'ll take you up on it. Just wait and see if I win or not!"
Shen Yue smiled. Her eyes seemed to twinkle like stars. As she looked at Teacher Niu, her voice was extremely confident: "I believe Teacher Niu can definitely win. You\'re the most responsible and capable teacher I\'ve met."
After saying that, Shen Yue left.
Teacher Niu was left energized in his office like he had been injected with chicken blood, and he started madly contacting his previous research partners.
"Are you crazy? You suddenly switched careers to math before, and now you wanna go back?"
"Stop yapping. I gotta research something, you in or not!"
"I\'m in I\'m in! My bro Niu is making a comeback!"
When Shen Yue returned to the classroom, she saw Shen Hui sitting quietly in her seat, vacantly staring ahead while holding the yogurt she had given, setting herself apart from the noisy surroundings.
Unlike when Shen Yue first displayed her skills and attracted a group of classmates to approach her with questions, the thorns around Shen Hui were too prickly, making the other students not even want to go near her.
If Shen Yue hadn\'t thought of this beforehand and changed seats next to Shen Hui, the situation now would be even more dangerous.
Shen Yue went over and sat down, asking: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Hui casually replied: "The cosmological redshift equation."
Shen Yue blinked her innocent eyes. "What\'s that?"
Shen Hui gave her a look and covered Shen Yue\'s eyes with one hand. "You won\'t be interested."
Shen Yue removed Shen Hui\'s hand from her face. Switching topics, she said: "Huihui, you\'re so smart. Can you teach me to study?"
"Why should I?"
"You\'re so amazing. As your older sister, if I don\'t learn well, won\'t it be embarrassing and make others look down on you? I don\'t want people to gossip about you."
On first hearing, it seemed to make some sense, but Shen Hui still felt that wasn\'t Shen Yue\'s real intention.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Shen Yue pushed the books on the desk aside. "Next period is Chemistry class. The Chemistry teacher is quite timid. Don\'t scare her, okay?"
Shen Hui glanced at the textbook already turned to the right page in front of her and gave a mocking laugh. That was stuff she had learned when she was 6.
In that sense, Shen Yue really was stupid.
Since the stupid girl already had such a tough life, playing along with her a bit wouldn\'t hurt.
"I know."
