Chapter 361 – Junior Sister Xu is Teacher Xu?!
Her students were sophomores.
That day, the sophomores in the Foreign Language Department knew a new teacher would be coming. They didn’t know what she looked like or her name, but they had heard from the counselor that the teacher was very impressive.
She could speak six languages, was young, and had already started teaching at their school while also working in the National Translation Department.
The National Translation Department was the place almost everyone in their foreign language and translation major aspired to enter.
Everyone was looking forward to meeting the new teacher.
They all thought they should make a good impression, build a good relationship with her, and strive to eventually work in the National Translation Department.
So, when the class bell rang, everyone sat quietly in their seats, but their eyes were unconsciously drawn to the door.
The teacher should be arriving soon.
They needed to perform well and leave a good impression on the new teacher.
As they waited, they finally heard footsteps.
It must be the new teacher!
Their eyes lit up.
And the next second, their eyes lit up even more.
Because, a beauty walked in through the door!
She was truly a young and beautiful woman, even not yet twenty years old, with delicate brows, almond-shaped eyes, a refined nose, and cherry lips, and she seemed to carry a celestial aura.
Elegant and beautiful, she was striking.
However, this beauty seemed a bit familiar.
Wait, wasn’t this the new student who had previously caused a sensation at their school—Xu Jinning?
Yes, it was indeed Junior Sister Xu Jinning.
They were a year ahead of Xu Jinning, so calling her Junior Sister Xu Jinning was perfectly fine.
“Xu Jinning, you’re Junior Sister Xu Jinning, right? Why are you in our classroom?”
“Are you looking for someone?”
“Did you enter the wrong classroom?”
After someone spoke up, others began to ask the same questions.
People tended to be more forgiving and kind to those who were attractive.
Xu Jinning smiled slightly. “I didn’t enter the wrong classroom.”
“Not the wrong classroom? Junior Sister Xu Jinning, if you didn’t enter the wrong classroom, then why are you here?”
“Yeah, you can’t possibly be our new teacher, can you? Haha.”
“Exactly, haha.”
“…”
Some laughed, and others joined in, not to mock Xu Jinning, but because the initial suggestion seemed so absurd.
This was Junior Sister Xu Jinning, their junior, so how could she be their new teacher?
Xu Jinning smiled but didn’t respond. Instead, she walked straight to the podium, placed the textbook on it, and stood gracefully in front of it.
“Students, my name is Xu Jinning, and I am your new foreign language teacher. You can call me Teacher Xu from now on.”
“…”
“Cough…”
When Xu Jinning spoke, the classroom fell into an eerie silence, followed by some students who began to cough uncontrollably.
The coughing was because they had been laughing just moments before, and Xu Jinning’s words had shocked them so much that their laughter got stuck in their throats, leading to the sudden coughing fit.
“Junior Sister Xu Jinning, are you kidding? How could you possibly be our new teacher?”
“Is today April Fool’s Day? Did the new teacher invite Junior Sister Xu Jinning to prank us?”
“Junior Sister Xu, stop joking around. Where is the new teacher? We’re waiting for class to start.”
Xu Jinning continued, “I am your new teacher.”
“Junior Sister Xu, seriously, don’t joke around. Class time is precious, and we don’t want to waste it.”
“Junior Sister Xu, please go back to your own classroom. If you’re discovered here, you might get into trouble.”
Actually, the students were reminding Xu Jinning out of good intentions.
Xu Jinning: …I really didn’t come to the wrong classroom. I am your new teacher. Why don’t you believe me?
At that moment, Xu Jinning’s savior appeared.
It was the students’ counselor.
The counselor had known from the beginning that Xu Jinning was the new teacher and, after initial shock, had come to accept it.
However, she thought that while she accepted it, her students might not, so she decided to come over and clarify.
It turned out she had been right to come.
The counselor cleared her throat and entered the classroom. First, she nodded to Xu Jinning and then said sternly, “Students, this is your new foreign language teacher, Teacher Xu.”
“Please give her a warm welcome.”
“!!!”
The students were shocked but clapped in accordance with the counselor’s instructions, though their eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.
“Teacher Xu has received our school’s diploma and the president’s appointment certificate. She is currently interning in the National Translation Department, and her abilities are beyond doubt.”
“At our school, talent is never restricted by age.”
“If Teacher Xu can be Teacher Xu, then with similar abilities, you too could become Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhou, or Teacher Sun …”
“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Please start your class.”
After speaking, the counselor nodded to Xu Jinning once more and left the classroom.
Xu Jinning wasted no time. She opened the textbook and began the lesson.
She taught in English with a standard accent that immediately caught the attention of the still-shocked students.
Xu Jinning’s teaching was far from boring. She combined modern, engaging teaching styles with lively and interesting methods, making the knowledge easy to remember.
Moreover, they found that the knowledge Teacher Xu was teaching was invaluable.
Previously, some concepts had felt like insurmountable barriers, but now, Teacher Xu effortlessly resolved those barriers.
Their understanding cleared up dramatically.
They had once thought learning foreign languages was extremely tedious, but now, both the languages and the class had become interesting.
Teacher Xu didn’t ignore anyone; she interacted with the students, and through these interactions, they absorbed knowledge almost without realizing it.
It wasn’t the dull, theoretical language lessons they were used to.
As the class progressed, they forgot their initial shock and the fact that Xu Jinning was only eighteen, younger than any of them.
They were completely immersed in their studies, constantly thinking and taking notes.
Time flew by quickly when it was enjoyable.
Before they knew it, the bell rang to signal the end of class.
As someone who had once disliked teachers who dragged on their classes, Xu Jinning was adamant about not extending the class time.
So, as soon as the bell rang, she set down her chalk and closed the textbook.
“Class is over, everyone. See you in the next session.”
After finishing her statement, Xu Jinning gracefully left the classroom.
Just seconds after she had gone, the entire classroom erupted in excitement.
“What? It’s already over? I haven’t had enough yet.”
“Teacher Xu is amazing! I actually understood everything she said!”
“So, Junior Sister Xu Jinning really is Teacher Xu. She’s truly incredible.”
“Don’t forget, Teacher Xu was the top scorer in the college entrance exams and got into Beijing University. I think she’s a genius!”
