"No, the classmates are all very nice to me," Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile. She knew her older sister truly cared for her. However, Zhu Yanli was still young and did not understand Zhu Yanyi’s true identity. No matter what, Zhu Yanyi was the Medical Buddha Maiden. Although her entrance exam scores had not been made public, Zhu Yanyi knew she had ranked first. Any school would make comprehensive arrangements for her. Since she had been placed in Class 3, Grade 1, it meant the environment there was suitable for her.
Hearing that her classmates treated Zhu Yanyi well, Zhu Yanli felt relieved. "If anything happens, come find your sister."
"Okay." Zhu Yanyi agreed immediately. Now that Zhu Yanli had a younger sister and a younger brother, her sense of responsibility as an older sister had grown heavier. She particularly enjoyed taking care of others. Zhu Yanyi knew this was a child imitating adults. If she stopped her, it would suppress her natural instincts. This life was not the previous one; the family no longer bore such heavy burdens. Therefore, Zhu Yanyi did not want Zhu Yanli’s future path to be as painful as it had been in her past life.
After lunch, Zhu Yanyi returned to Class 3, Grade 1. As soon as she entered the classroom, she saw Kang Li and the class monitor, Zhang Xiaofeng, approaching. Zhang Xiaofeng was overjoyed to see Zhu Yanyi, her face full of excitement. "Zhu Yanyi, Kang Li said you are willing to teach everyone math." During the math class earlier, she had been particularly envious of how Zhu Yanyi answered the questions. It was rare for a boy to find a learning role model, so she naturally wanted to learn as well.
"Yes," Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. "But we need to have time."
Zhang Xiaofeng said, "The third period on Thursday afternoons is activity class. Let’s use that time to study." True to his role as class monitor, his attitude toward learning was better than most. He had even selected the time.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Okay. As long as the classmates agree, I have no objection."
Zhang Xiaofeng said seriously, "Leave this to me." Zhu Yanyi wanted to see how Zhang Xiaofeng would mobilize the classmates. She discovered her method was very simple. She went directly to Teacher Zhou and said that Zhu Yanyi would teach everyone math during the third period on Thursday afternoons, so they would not have an activity class.
As the homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhou naturally did not disagree. The students wanted to learn themselves, so he agreed without a second word. He even announced it during the Chinese class.
Zhu Yanyi watched with amusement as the classmates expressed disappointment about losing an activity period. Although students in this era could be mischievous, playful, or even unruly, they all listened to their teachers. One could say the teacher was the tightening spell on their heads. Therefore, even if they disagreed in their hearts, they had to agree once the teacher spoke. It had to be said that children nowadays were very pure.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. Since she had promised to give extra lessons during the third period on Thursday afternoons, she would not back out. Moreover, she would make certain preparations. She did not like children to hate learning. From the learning experiences of the future, it was clear that the results of children liking to learn versus being forced to learn were absolutely different. Anyway, since this time was converted from an activity class, the atmosphere did not need to be too serious.
When the second period on Thursday afternoon ended, Zhu Yanyi asked everyone to move their desks along the walls to form a circle. The classmates had never experienced this way of learning before and were very curious. Therefore, they cooperated with Zhu Yanyi’s actions very actively. Two students carried one desk, placing it against the wall, arranging them in a circle around the wall. They sat behind the desks. This feeling was particularly novel, so they giggled and laughed, very happy.
