The first two periods of the morning were physics.
Due to the different ways of thinking between boys and girls, physics and mathematics, which require strong logical thinking, were considered the two biggest challenges for girls.
Physics, in particular, was even more so.
Furthermore, the physics teacher for Class 10 was an elderly teacher over fifty years old, whose teaching methods were somewhat outdated and obscure, making them difficult to understand.
During these two periods, the physics teacher was explaining a set of more difficult example problems.
The main knowledge points covered were in the area of dynamics, which many students considered the most challenging.
Like many girls in the class, Xia Nuannuan's brows were furrowed into the shape of the character "川" after listening to these two classes.
It had been two minutes since class ended, but Xia Nuannuan was still pondering the example problem from earlier.
She tapped the tip of her mechanical pencil rhythmically against her forehead, as if countless question marks were popping out of her head.
Beside her, Qin Tian found her deep in thought appearance quite endearing.
"Brother Tian, save me!"
Just as he was about to ask if she needed help, a familiar shout reached his ears.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it could only be Zhang Peng.
He was holding the study materials that the physics teacher had explained and was walking over quickly.
"The example problem just now?"
Qin Tian asked with a smile.
Zhang Peng nodded with a distressed expression, "Yeah, I understood every word Old Cai said, but when they were put together, I was completely lost!"
Old Cai was their physics teacher.
"Pfft!"
Cui Ying, sitting in front of Qin Tian, chuckled and stood up, saying, "Zhang Peng, you can sit here!"
Zhang Peng's face showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked at Qin Tian with surprise.
Qin Tian smiled and nodded, indicating that it was fine.
"Oh, then, then thank you!"
Zhang Peng said with a smile.
As he sat down, he first pressed down on the chair with his hand, as if to check for any traps.
"Perfect timing, Nuannuan, I'll explain this problem to you all together!"
Qin Tian turned his head to Xia Nuannuan and said.
"Mhm!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded like a pecking chick, having the same intention.
Thus, Qin Tian took Zhang Peng's study materials and placed them diagonally on his own desk.
Zhang Peng tilted his head, adjusting his viewing angle.
Xia Nuannuan also shifted her chair, moving closer.
"Qin... Qin Tian, can I listen too?"
Qiu Man, sitting in front of Xia Nuannuan, pleaded nervously with a sheepish smile, "I didn't understand it just now either."
"Yes."
Qin Tian agreed, looking at Xia Nuannuan beside him.
Xia Nuannuan smiled brightly and said to Qiu Man, "Qiu Man, lean your head over a bit closer, so you can see clearly."
"Okay, thank you, thank you both."
Qiu Man was so touched that she almost cried, filled with guilt and regret towards Xia Nuannuan.
"Then I'll start explaining. We don't have much time, so I'll try to explain this problem in the simplest way possible. Listen carefully."
Qin Tian said solemnly.
The three nodded repeatedly and focused their attention.
Then, Qin Tian began to explain the example problem in a calm and unhurried tone.
In the classroom, other students who hadn't understood also started to gather around.
The students who came were very careful, trying not to make any noise that would disrupt Qin Tian's explanation.
Soon, centered around Qin Tian's seat, people were crowded in front, behind, left, and right.
Only Xia Nuannuan and the other two could sit and listen.
Everyone else had no choice but to stand and crane their necks to look.
Even so, many regretted not reacting faster to secure a spot.
For Qin Tian, this problem had several approaches to solving it.
Considering that most people around him had not outstanding physics grades, he chose the most accessible and easy-to-understand angle to explain this example problem in detail.
His tone was neither rushed nor slow, his logic was clear, and his thought process was distinct.
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of Xia Nuannuan and the others, it was much easier to understand than Old Cai's explanation.
This was also normal.
It wasn't that Qin Tian's physics level had surpassed Old Cai; that was impossible.
It was just that Qin Tian was similar in age to the people around him, and they were all students, so he could better think from their perspective.
Moreover, in terms of mastery of high school physics knowledge points, Qin Tian, who had directly exchanged experience packs from the system's black technology, was not much worse than Old Cai.
"That's how this problem is. As long as you find the correct approach, it's simple. Did you understand?"
After explaining the problem, Qin Tian first looked at Xia Nuannuan to ask.
"Mhm!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded.
"You really understood? If not, I'll explain it again."
Qin Tian confirmed again.
"It should be fine now."
Xia Nuannuan replied with a serious expression.
"That's good."
Qin Tian smiled, then looked at the others and said, "You all understood, right!"
The crowd was stunned for a moment, followed by a flurry of rolling eyes.
This was clearly favoritism!
For Xia Nuannuan, it was a question, but they only deserved an affirmative statement?
Sensing the teasing glances from others, Xia Nuannuan's face flushed red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, but her heart was full of joy.
"Teacher Qin, I didn't understand."
A sudden voice rang out.
Everyone's gaze focused on Zhang Peng, their faces filled with admiration.
At this moment, it was indeed Zhang Peng who had to step up.
Qin Tian also stared at him quietly, his hearty smile making him feel immense pressure.
It was as if he were facing a teacher.
Zhang Peng sheepishly scratched his head and explained, "I didn't mean anything else, I really didn't understand. Brother Tian, you know my foundation is quite weak!"
Qin Tian rubbed his temples and sighed, "But I didn't expect you to be *that* weak. This is physics, are you even worse than Xia Nuannuan?"
Beside him, Xia Nuannuan looked up at him with a bewildered expression upon hearing this.
What did he mean?
Wasn't he being very eloquent just now? Why the sudden change?
Several girls around them covered their mouths with their hands, suppressing their laughter.
"Cough, cough..."
Qin Tian also realized he had said the wrong thing, so he cleared his throat and corrected himself, "What I mean is, student Zhang Peng, your attitude towards learning is not good; it's far worse than student Xia Nuannuan's."
Zhang Peng: "..."
Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha..."
The crowd could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
Students in the classroom who hadn't gathered around heard the laughter and cast envious and curious glances in their direction.
"Wu Xin, why didn't you get this much attention when you were class president before?"
Xu Ying glanced at Wu Xin beside her and said with a plain expression.
After Wu Xin lost to Qin Tian, he had lost his only value in her eyes.
The current Xu Ying would not give him a pleasant look.
Wu Xin's face turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth without a word.
After the morning self-study session ended, "King of Hell" Li had called him to the office for a long talk.
He wasn't reprimanded, but was taught what he could learn from this incident, how to adjust his mindset, and to face Qin Tian as a challenger.
His emotional knot had basically been untangled.
But Xu Ying's words still made him feel very uncomfortable.
After all, he had deliberately provoked Qin Tian for Xu Ying's sake.
