317 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

# Chapter 317: Xiao Xiao's Desire for More At this moment, in the classroom, Su Qi was unaware that the live broadcast had gone viral. In fact, not only was she unaware, but the viewers watching also didn't know how popular the stream had become. After all, without scrolling through waves of comments, who would notice the number of viewers in the broadcast room? Moreover, Su Qi wasn't interacting with anyone, and the audience didn't engage with rewards either. They just quietly watched the late self-study session on the screen. This scene had been ongoing for over an hour before Su Qi finally looked up from the massive book before her. She had specifically asked her system assistant to remind her to check after an hour. After all, a full hour should be sufficient for students to solve those twelve problems. "Has everyone finished?" Su Qi asked the class. Many students shook their heads, as the first eleven questions were relatively easy. But the last problem had them stumped for a while. However, Su Qi, observant as always, noticed a slight, almost imperceptible nod from Xiao Xiao, sitting at her little desk in the upper left corner. Su Qi wasn't surprised by this. Given someone with an IQ even higher than hers, such a small problem would naturally be a breeze. Looking into the dark eyes hidden behind Xiao Xiao's bangs, Su Qi responded with a smile before saying, "Let's go over the content now. Firstly, exchange papers with each other and review your partner's work. This will help you identify any details you might have overlooked." As the students swapped papers, Su Qi began explaining the physics problems. It felt different from when other teachers taught the test papers over the past few days. This set of papers was something the students of Class 212 had thought through themselves. Giving them a sense of involvement was far more effective than the homework papers they hadn't done, distributed by other teachers. Everyone listened intently, and there was occasional interaction among them. From their questions, Su Qi could tell the students were genuinely trying to think deeply. Even though some questions were a bit elementary, it was still a positive outcome. Due to the escalating difficulty of the problems, Su Qi covered the earlier parts quickly, slowing down towards the end to give Class 212 students more time to think. After all, only by thinking for themselves would they firmly grasp the physics formulas. Su Qi didn't adopt a rote memorization teaching style; instead, she guided them with minimal explanation. After going through the last major problem carefully, Su Qi made a small modification on the blackboard, encouraging the students to try again. This time, she directed her question to Tang Zihan. When she saw he was able to answer, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed today's choice of topics was quite effective. In the broadcast room, many were watching Teacher Su gently explain the problems. Even those long past their high school days found themselves understanding and enjoying her teaching. However, if anyone was most exhilarated, it was undoubtedly Tang Zihan's mother. Seeing her notorious non-studious son answer correctly in class for the first time, she felt a wave of contentment. Knowing Tang Zihan consistently ranked at the bottom, did this mean he might change and start studying hard from now on? Tang Zihan's mother, watching the lecture by "Teacher Su," felt this educator was exceptional. She had genuinely transformed her child. In her joy, Tang Zihan’s mother decided to reward Su Qi's broadcast with a significant gift, two "little carrots," as an expression of gratitude. These rewards, being of substantial value, prominently displayed in the broadcast room, reminded many viewers of the option to send gifts. Followed by a flood of gifts pouring in. Yang Chunhua, watching the video and seeing the seemingly unsuspecting "Teacher Su earnest in her teaching, felt that she was indeed quite remarkable. She had never seen anyone receive such spontaneous generosity from viewers without even asking for rewards or uttering a word to the audience. How extraordinary! With Su Qi collecting everyone's papers, the Saturday class bell rang out amidst the typically cheerful weekend atmosphere, leaving Class 212 students a bit reluctant. After all, having no class tomorrow meant they wouldn't see Teacher Su. Su Qi didn't assign any homework. Given the students' recent efforts, a balance of hard work and rest would make learning enjoyable. Moreover, if they had to think about studying even on weekends, wouldn't that be too burdensome? Bidding farewell to her students, Su Qi noticed Xiao Xiao, lingering at her desk, hadn't left yet, which surprised her. She then heard Xiao Xiao softly say, "Teacher Su, you didn’t review my paper." Looking at the obedient little girl with her backpack, her hands nervously fiddling with the straps, her doll-like face, and her pleading tone, Su Qi thought Xiao Xiao resembled a little kitten begging for attention. Instinctively, Su Qi started gently patting Xiao Xiao's head, combing her hair with her fingertips. To be honest, over the past two days, Su Qi had come to enjoy the feeling of patting Xiao Xiao's head—a sensation akin to stroking a cute little kitten. Su Qi pulled Xiao Xiao's paper from the stack while her right hand continued its gentle motion. Actually, Xiao Xiao hadn't intended to ask. She just felt a bit lonely not having her head pat by Teacher Su all day. Now, being patted by Teacher Su brought her some comfort, and a faint smile appeared on her face, dimples forming, her large eyes narrowing. Since her first hospitalization, Xiao Xiao slowly lost friends as her health declined until she had severed all contacts. To be fair, she's felt very lonely. But Teacher Su, like a beam of light in darkness, didn't mind her at all and treated her with such kindness. Despite Su Qi caring deeply for Class 212, Xiao Xiao felt especially favored by her. Even though Xiao Xiao addressed Su Qi as "Teacher Su," she felt Teacher Su was more like a warm, elder sister from an anime. This was the first time in a long while Xiao Xiao felt such warmth, and she craved more of this gentle interaction with "Teacher Su." Feeling the soft strokes on her hair, inhaling the faint fragrance on Su Qi, and seeing her unguarded demeanor, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt dissatisfied with just the head pats. She wanted Teacher Su to hug her. But wouldn't that seem strange? What if Teacher Su ended up disliking her? Su Qi glanced at Xiao Xiao's nearly flawless paper and praised her. Strangely, the little girl didn't react, instead staring blankly at Su Qi's chest. This realization left Su Qi both amused and exasperated. Looking at Xiao Xiao's slender frame, Su Qi comforted her, “Xiao Xiao, you’re still young. You still have time to develop. Don’t lose heart!” Xiao Xiao, confused by Teacher Su's words, looked up at her with a puzzled expression. Following Su Qi's gaze, Xiao Xiao realized that she was talking about... Her face flushed red, and she scampered out of the room like a startled rabbit. Watching Xiao Xiao's shy retreat, a smile involuntarily spread across Su Qi's face. Just then, Su Qi noticed, to her surprise, that Xiao Xiao had peeked back through the door, her small hands clutching the door frame, nervously saying: “Teacher Su, goodbye! See you tomorrow, and the day after!” [Note: For reader convenience, the website’s "Rankings" page has been optimized. Feel free to check it out!] Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
