Chatting with the Beautiful Teacher

Zhou Yu Tong stood at the podium, patiently and meticulously explaining knowledge about trigonometric functions. This was one of the important knowledge points in high school mathematics, and she spoke about it smoothly and logically. However, seeing the sparse number of students seriously listening below, she felt a little disheartened.

The reason Zhou Yu Tong chose to become a mathematics teacher at Zhen Hua High School after graduating with a master's degree was due to her own considerations.

Firstly, she was a resident of Zhong Nan City. After graduating in Mo Du, she originally had the opportunity to stay there. However, she didn't like the atmosphere of such a large city, so she chose to return to Zhong Nan City after graduation.

Secondly, she truly loved the teaching profession. In her heart, teaching was extremely sacred. Being able to impart what she had learned to each student, Zhou Yu Tong felt it was wonderful. Even after actually becoming a teacher and encountering all sorts of problems, it did not diminish her original intention and ideals.

When everyone else was unwilling to take charge of Class 9, Grade 11, she proactively volunteered, taking on the role of mathematics teacher for Class 9, Grade 11! This included her own perseverance and belief, as well as a desire to share her father's worries. That's right, Zhou Yu Tong was the daughter of Principal Zhou Wen Guang!

"Ring ring..."

"Class dismissed!"

Zhou Yu Tong did not overstay her time. Not only her, but all the teachers teaching subjects for Class 9, Grade 11, none of them overstayed! When she first started teaching math to Class 9, she would also try her best to make students listen to the lecture. But after a semester, dozing off, whispering, secretly playing... the students of Class 9, Grade 11, still hadn't changed. She gradually understood. She would still teach seriously as usual, but whether the students below listened or not, that was for the homeroom teacher to worry about!

In her opinion, whenever she taught a class, if ten to twenty students listened attentively, she already felt very satisfied! After all, math class was not something everyone could truly understand!

The students of Class 9, Grade 11, had one point that made her very satisfied: during her class, whether they played or slept, no student deliberately caused trouble or disturbed her lecture!

After class, she called Xu Jie over in the hallway.

"Teacher Xu!"

"Ah... Teacher Zhou!"

Xu Jie was about to return to his office; he didn't know why Teacher Zhou called him. The two walked side by side. Zhou Yu Tong had a prominent height, considered tall among female students, but when standing next to Xu Jie, who was 1.85 meters tall, she appeared petite and delicate.

"Is this Teacher Xu's first time as a homeroom teacher?" Zhou Yu Tong's voice was very pleasant, like a nightingale. At lunch today in the teachers' cafeteria, she had heard from her father, Zhou Wen Guang, about Xu Jie taking on the role of homeroom teacher for Class 9. Regarding her father's decision, Zhou Yu Tong said nothing more. She, the math teacher, understood the situation of Class 9 very well.

She wasn't familiar with Xu Jie either; at this moment, she tilted her head and glanced at him, only feeling that Teacher Xu was indeed handsome, but she didn't know if he could manage these students in Class 9.

Before Xu Jie, the homeroom teachers for Class 9 were successively a Chinese teacher, an English teacher, and a History teacher. Without exception, they were all angered by these mischievous and disruptive students and left! Subject teachers could choose to carefully finish their class and leave, but homeroom teachers could not! Most teachers were still very responsible; once they accepted, they would diligently guide the class. Unless absolutely necessary, who would leave in anger!

"Yes, in the future, for Class 9's math class, I'll have to trouble Teacher Zhou a bit!" Xu Jie walked beside Zhou Yu Tong, taking a slight breath. Hmm, she smelled good!

"Teacher Xu, you must have already looked into the situation of Class 9, right?" Zhou Yu Tong was still very surprised and curious as to why Xu Jie would agree to be the homeroom teacher for Class 9. Such a "hot potato," others avoided it, so why did he accept?

Xu Jie nodded, chuckling, "Everyone says Class 9 is the worst class, a lost cause, but I don't see it that way!"

"On the contrary, I firmly believe that the students of Class 9 can grow in all aspects!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu Tong looked at Xu Jie in surprise. She hadn't expected that Xu Jie, knowing the situation of Class 9, would trust these "bad kids" so much!

"Teacher Xu, why do you trust them so much?" She didn't understand, so she smiled and asked.

"A teacher transmits the Dao, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts!" Xu Jie's lips curved upwards, and he said with a smile:

"I know Teacher Zhou is very skilled at imparting mathematical knowledge." He first flattered her a bit, then continued:

"In my eyes, this only falls under the category of 'imparting knowledge'."

"For the students of Class 9, no one has ever 'transmitted the Dao and resolved doubts' for them!"

"Coincidentally, I have a lot of insight in this area, so when the principal approached me, I immediately agreed."

Xu Jie was purely talking nonsense. But the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional; these words, upon reaching Zhou Yu Tong's ears, felt very meaningful to her. So, this seemingly casual PE teacher actually had such meticulous thoughts.

She truly loved the teaching profession, so when she heard Xu Jie's words, she couldn't help but think of the grand declarations she had made when she chose to become a teacher. Wasn't it precisely those Six True Words: "transmitting the Dao, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts"!

Her beautiful eyes once again looked towards Xu Jie, as if wanting to understand this handsome man more deeply. He actually had hopes similar to hers?

If Xu Jie knew Zhou Yu Tong's thoughts at this moment, he would probably burst out laughing! These words, he truly just blurted out! He never would have thought that his casual words could actually relate to Zhou Yu Tong's initial hopes! One couldn't help but marvel at such a strange coincidence!

"So, Teacher Xu, have you thought of a way to teach Class 9 well?" Zhou Yu Tong pressed.

This didn't stump Xu Jie; he simply blurted out: "Treat the illness according to the symptoms, teach according to ability!"

Zhou Yu Tong was slightly startled; an entire class of over forty students, each taught according to their ability? This was fundamentally impossible! However, she said nothing more; today was, after all, only the first day of school. She wanted to see how Teacher Xu would teach according to ability!

"Teacher Xu, what if your method doesn't work?" Zhou Yu Tong smiled, asking in return.

"What if my method does work?" Xu Jie laughed heartily.

"Teacher Zhou, in my eyes, as long as one has the courage to try, one can definitely figure out a way to teach Class 9 well!"

"Not daring to think or act is what truly wastes these children's potential!"

Zhou Yu Tong was momentarily inspired by Xu Jie's words. She hadn't expected that Xu Jie, a PE teacher, would have such a broad mind and clear thinking!

"Teacher Xu, I will fully support you!" She turned and gave Xu Jie an encouraging smile.

In that instant, it felt as if winter had passed and spring had arrived. Xu Jie's heart melted!
