Seeing Li Yuyan angrily return to her room, Xiao Tian shrugged helplessly and then went back to his own room to rest.
"Is she mad because I got into a fight with Yang Zihao and the others? Wouldn't it solve everything if I just beat Yang Zihao and his crew until they submit?" Xiao Tian muttered to himself inside his room.
The next day at school, Yang Zihao and his gang still hadn't shown up. The back row of the entire classroom was completely empty. As the saying goes, whether a classroom is chaotic or not depends entirely on the back row.
With Yang Zihao and the others absent, the classroom was much quieter than usual. After listening attentively to the first two classes, Xiao Tian found it utterly boring, so he slumped over his desk and fell asleep.
When the third period arrived, Xiao Tian only stood up once when the teacher called for the start of class, and then went right back to sleep. This particular class was physics, one of the nightmare subjects for many students.
The physics teacher was an old man who looked quite scholarly. He didn't criticize Xiao Tian too harshly for sleeping during his class.
"Next, we are going to review the section on electron motion. Now, a rather difficult research problem has appeared on the courseware. Everyone take a few minutes to look it over, and in a moment I'll have a student come up to solve it," the old man suddenly announced halfway through the lesson.
Seeing the problem the old man had put up on the courseware, the students below instantly felt their scalps go numb.
Although they were the most brilliant minds in Modu and even the whole of Huaxia, the research problem before them still gave them a massive headache.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian was still fast asleep, snoring softly.
As time ticked away second by second, ten minutes quickly passed. The old man on the podium began to walk down the aisle to see how everyone was progressing.
When he reached the other students, the old man just smiled without saying a word. When he arrived in front of Li Yuyan and Dongfang Wan'er, the old man smiled and nodded.
When he finally reached Xiao Tian, the old man sighed and shook his head, because Xiao Tian was still fast asleep.
"All right, time's up. Now, let's have two students come up to the board and present their answers!" the old man said loudly as he returned to the podium.
Hearing the old man's words, quite a few students looked around at each other, wondering who had already solved it. And when they saw that Xiao Tian was still fast asleep, they all secretly hoped the old man would call him up.
Regardless of their motives, they all wanted to see Xiao Tian put on a show.
"Li Yuyan, come up and write out your problem-solving process on the left blackboard. Xiao Tian, come up and write out your process as well." Sure enough, the old man wasn't as indifferent to his students as he appeared on the surface.
However, having stayed at this school for decades, the old man had his own way of handling things. After all, every single student here came from an extraordinary background, and the old man wasn't about to play hardball with them easily.
Hearing the old man tell her to go up, Li Yuyan stood up, turned back to glance at Xiao Tian who was still sleeping, and then slowly walked up to the podium.
At that moment, Xiao Tian hadn't heard the old man call him at all.
"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, Brother Tian, the old man is calling you." Seeing that Xiao Tian hadn't moved for a long time while everyone in the class—including the old man—was staring at him, Jiang Tao hurriedly whispered to wake Xiao Tian up.
"Huh? Fatty, what's wrong? What kind of trouble are you trying to stir up now?" Woken up by Jiang Tao, Xiao Tian rubbed his sleep-heavy eyes and asked.
"Brother Tian, the old man is calling you up to answer a question." Called Fatty by Xiao Tian, Jiang Tao didn't get angry at all, but instead continued respectfully.
"Answer a question?" Xiao Tian asked, looking completely bewildered by Jiang Tao's words. Only then did Xiao Tian slowly raise his head and look toward the podium.
By this time, Xiao Tian saw that Li Yuyan had already begun writing out her steps on the blackboard. At the same time, he noticed that every single classmate was staring right at him.
"Got it, Teacher!" Nearly half a minute later, Xiao Tian spoke up toward the old man standing beside the podium.
Hahaha! Seeing Xiao Tian's clueless expression, the students in the class burst into loud laughter. Even Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help marveling at what a bizarre eccentric Xiao Tian was!
Hearing Xiao Tian take half a day just to answer him, the old man was so angry his eyebrows nearly stood straight up!
