"Teacher, I've memorized it."
After Qin Tian recited the third passage flawlessly, he said with a composed expression.
Seeing the astonished faces of Old Li and his classmates, he felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Ahem..."
Li Xueping cleared his throat and said with a serious demeanor, "You recited it well. But do you understand that an article not only needs to be memorized fluently, but also deeply understood? Then translate this passage for me."
"You got me, Old Li. You won't let me off the hook, will you!"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched a few times.
"What? You can't? Then listen carefully..."
Old Li chuckled inwardly with pride, his expression turning stern as he began to lecture.
"This passage talks about how saints have no fixed teachers. Confucius once studied under..."
Before Old Li could continue his lecture, Qin Tian suddenly spoke up and began translating.
Still with ease and composure, he spoke naturally.
Old Li was completely stunned.
In the classroom, the students' expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
Some even raised their hands to rub their eyes, as if to confirm they weren't mistaken.
"Teacher, I'm finished with the translation."
Qin Tian looked at Old Li with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Come on, let's hurt each other!
Now, there's nothing in high school Chinese literature that can stump me.
The system daddy is awesome!!
"Ah? Oh!"
Li Xueping snapped out of his shock, nodded, and said, "Excellent translation. It seems you've put in effort after class. This time, we'll let it slide. You may return to your seat!"
He felt as if he were dreaming, looking at Qin Tian as if he were seeing him for the first time.
Is this really Qin Tian? Could it be his twin brother or cousin?
Under the gaze of many eyes, Qin Tian lightly stepped back to his seat.
"We will continue the lesson. Those who are drowsy, stand up."
Old Li forcibly regained his composure and continued to impart knowledge.
...
[Congratulations to the host, mission complete. Reward: High School Mathematics Knowledge Experience Pack, System Points +399.]
[Countdown 33:38:50. The host completing the system task does not increase survival time.]
"Tsk, so stingy. That means my life can only be exchanged for points."
He glanced at the system interface in the upper right corner. His points had increased to 956!
"Xia Nuannuan, thank you!"
Qin Tian looked at the girl beside him, who was his deskmate, and thanked her with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan was taken aback and waved her hands, flattered, "N-no need to thank me. You're so amazing, I didn't help you much."
She was also extremely shocked at the moment.
The cheerful Qin Tian before her made her feel inexplicably that her deskmate had changed.
"No, I do need to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have known where Old Li was lecturing!"
Qin Tian said with a smile.
At this moment, Old Li's gaze drifted over again from not far away.
Xia Nuannuan quickly turned her head away, not saying anything more.
Qin Tian also began to pretend to listen to the lecture, but in his mind, he was recalling things about this "treasure girl" deskmate.
Why call her a treasure girl?
That had to be traced back to the class reunion after his college graduation.
Since the class monitor was well-liked, almost all the students from their third year of high school attended.
Everyone ate, drank, and chatted. As the conversation flowed, someone brought up Xia Nuannuan.
After graduating from high school, no one had seen Xia Nuannuan.
In everyone's eyes, Xia Nuannuan was still the unpopular, overweight girl in class.
The reason she lost contact with everyone after high school and never attended gatherings was surely due to low self-esteem.
At that moment, a girl who was ordinary in high school but had learned to put on makeup and got a rich second-generation boyfriend after attending university, spoke disparagingly about Xia Nuannuan in a smug and sarcastic tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Nuannuan suddenly appeared.
And it was a dazzling entrance.
She wore a gorgeous red evening gown, which showcased her impressive figure after losing weight to perfection. Her personality was no longer timid like in high school; she had become cheerful, generous, and full of charm.
After confirming that it was indeed Xia Nuannuan, the girls who had been criticizing her behind her back were severely embarrassed.
After inquiring, they learned that Xia Nuannuan had gone abroad to study after graduating from high school and had just returned.
As for how she could study abroad with such poor grades,
Seeing her high-end designer clothes and accessories, they didn't need to ask further.
Only then did everyone realize that the former overweight girl had successfully transformed into an enviable figure of wealth and beauty.
"A turnaround... it's quite similar to the system's name. Could it be that heaven gave me a chance to be reborn so that I could turn things around with her?"
Qin Tian mused, resting his chin on his hand.
[System Mission Triggered: Please have the host achieve a turnaround with your deskmate Xia Nuannuan before the college entrance examination ends. After the time limit, the system will score the host and Xia Nuannuan's performance. The higher the score, the richer the system rewards!]
The sudden mission stunned Qin Tian.
Well, there's no need to guess anymore. I have to find a way.
He looked at Xia Nuannuan beside him with bright eyes, as if looking at a gold mine.
Sensing his gaze, Xia Nuannuan's round, cute face flushed, and her heart began to beat faster.
"Why is he looking at me like that? Does he have a good impression of me because I helped him just now?"
"No, no, no, how could that be? I'm so fat and ugly!"
"Then why is it?"
For a moment, the young girl's heart was in a flutter, and she began to overthink.
...
King Yama Li had a bad temper, but he had a habit that the students loved: he never made them stay late.
The moment the dismissal bell rang, Old Li immediately announced the end of class for a break.
The classroom immediately became noisy. Many students lay their heads on their desks and started to sleep.

After glancing at Qin Tian, who was sitting there, Old Li left filled with confusion.
"Qin Tian."
A voice called out.
Qin Tian turned his head and saw a young man with a face full of acne walking towards him with a smile.
Zhang Peng was considered his only close friend during high school.
After graduating from high school, Zhang Peng went south to work with his relatives, while Qin Tian went to a second-tier university.
They kept in touch intermittently via mobile phone.
As time passed, their phone contact also ceased. They only met during Chinese New Year and would go for drinks.
"Confess, how did you do that just now?"
Zhang Peng put his hand on Qin Tian's shoulder and asked curiously.
"How did I do what?"
"Stop playing dumb. I mean the recitation and translation just now. Hurry up, teach me."
"I knew it all along. How can I teach you?"
"Come on, you must have a method. If you can do it, then I... I'll eat this book."
Zhang Peng pointed to the Chinese textbook on his desk.
"Then you can start your performance!"
Qin Tian picked up the textbook and handed it to him.
"Pfft!"
Beside them, Xia Nuannuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
