How could you get this question wrong?
I've explained this problem so many times and you forget it the next minute? Are you a goldfish? Does your memory only last seven seconds?
Whoever's trash this is, take it back right now, we don't accept it here.
On-site installation of electronic neighborhood monitoring system.
Why don't we go back and relearn the multiplication tables?
You deliberately didn't answer, didn't you? Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a little girl. If you mess with me, even a seven or eight-year-old child won't hesitate to use a flying kick on him.
"Cough cough..."
Hayakawa coughed lightly, his face darkening as he remained silent.
All of the above were his thoughts. After all, no matter how cruel the Emperor was, he wouldn't be so sarcastic as to talk about a little elementary school girl. It was one thing to bully Furuhashi and Ogata, but even though he always talked about true gender equality, when a little girl who only reached his waist came along, Hayakawa was really too embarrassed to talk to her like he usually did with the other two. At most, he would just lower his head and remain silent.
But it is indeed too difficult to teach.
Well... Hayakawa thought that teaching Ogata Rizu and Furuhashi Fumino was already a world-renowned achievement, a major step forward in the history of human education. After all, most of the teachers at Ichinose High School had tried and eventually gave up, but Hayakawa persisted with his own efforts and will (and resentment), and taught very well. Their grades improved a lot, and the two of them became much more confident and even wanted to go on vacation.
This has always been something Hayakawa is somewhat proud of, and it is because of this that he feels his teaching level is extremely high.
However, facing this cute little girl in front of him... he even found it unusual that Furuhashi and Ogata were actually quite smart, being able to skillfully use multiplication and division of several digits was already quite impressive.
At this point, Hayakawa had to admit his failure, and his suggestion was to hire a more professional to teach him.
"..."
Hayakawa frowned as he looked at the pile of wrong questions that Chiko had brought him again, while the little girl next to him looked at Hayakawa with teary eyes, her face full of fear and shame.
"hiss"
At that moment, Hayakawa saw another familiar wrong question and couldn't help but gasp. He vaguely remembered that he had just explained this question step by step, and now he had gotten it wrong again.
Hayakawa couldn't help but glance back at Sachiko. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't look alike at all, Hayakawa would have really thought that she had deliberately gotten the question wrong to annoy him.
"Click"
The sound of potato chips being eaten came from the side. Hayakawa frowned slightly but didn't say anything, continuing to look at the questions.
"Sizzle..."
This is the satisfying sound of an ice-cold Coke being opened and released, followed by the sound of gulping down Coke.
Hayakawa's face twitched slightly, while Chikako next to her secretly swallowed, her attention clearly drawn to the scene.
Seeing this, Hayakawa finally couldn't hold back any longer and said to Aoba Kaigetsu, who was leisurely lying on the tatami mat eating a bag of potato chips, "You seem to be enjoying your snack."
"Does that need to be said?"
Aoba Kaigetsu said in a flat tone, "I didn't eat much dinner tonight, and I'm so hungry now that I have to take out my treasured snacks to eat."
"Want to eat?"
Seeing Hayakawa glaring at her, Aoba Kaigetsu generously reached out and handed it to Hayakawa.
"Who wants to eat this?"
Hayakawa said impatiently, then reached out and took the potato chips, but instead of eating them himself, he handed them to the little girl who was secretly swallowing her saliva.
"I...I don't need it."
Qia Zi paused for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, obediently tried to return it.
Hayakawa turned to him and asked, "Does your mother forbid you from eating snacks?"
"Eh?"
Qia Zi looked confused: "No."
"Then you can eat it."
Hayakawa said something, then turned to Haiyue and said, "Why would you rather eat snacks now than have a proper dinner?"
Aoba Kaigetsu said expressionlessly, "Because Yuzuki-nee's cooking is terrible."
"Ah? Is there any?"
Hayakawa paused for a moment, then recalled, "I feel alright."
"Her cooking is alright? Anyone who could eat all of Jieyue's food would be a miracle. It has no flavor at all. Even if the temple is struggling, they can still afford salt."
Haiyue retorted irritably, "Haven't you noticed that you're always the one who eats the most at dinner, while everyone else usually leaves without finishing their food?"
Chapter 324 The Bearing of an Emperor
"Moreover, the reason her cooking is bland and tasteless isn't because Feng Ge's cooking is bland, but because she's often clumsy and puts in the wrong seasonings. It's one thing for her salt and pepper scrambled eggs to be bland and tasteless, but her stir-fried asparagus is so salty it's unbearable, it feels like she's put in half a bag of salt. I really don't know how she puts in all the seasonings."
Aoba Kaigetsu had clearly had enough, and her sharp criticisms came one after another. She said expressionlessly, "I suggest putting a surveillance camera in the temple's kitchen and then putting the video of her cooking online. Just make a 'Don't Laugh Challenge' or something. There will definitely be a lot of viewers. When we make money, it can also alleviate the temple's predicament. Yuzuki-nee, the future abbot, can be considered to have achieved her goal indirectly."
"..."
Your sharp tongue towards your own sister is far too hurtful; Yuzuki might burst into tears if she heard it.
"Usually, apart from Hayakawa, who always manages to finish his meals, the other members of the temple usually only eat half a bowl before leaving the table, making it seem like we all have small appetites. Actually, we can't eat at all and just go back to our rooms to secretly eat snacks."
Aoba Kaigetsu continued to bluntly state the truth: "Let me tell you a secret, even Kizuki-nee herself can't finish the food she cooks."
"..."
"To be honest, Yueye, Meiya, and I have discussed our meal times privately."
Haiyue said somewhat seriously, "It's strange that someone from a well-off family could come to Sapporo for vacation, yet still manage to finish Yuzuki's meal."
Hayakawa was speechless. Whether you call him a food fanatic or someone without desires, his only requirement for food has always been to fill his stomach, and that has always been the case.
"We've gone off-topic,"
Hayakawa didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. She pointed at the child who was still engrossed in doing her homework: "You brought this child here. Why don't you teach her to help?"
"I've already taught you before, but it didn't work, so I came to you, Hayakawa."
Cangye Haiyue said matter-of-factly, "As for me to help, do you think teaching something this simple requires two people? No matter how many people there are, it won't make a difference. The most important thing is patience and the right method. Let me take over for you when you get tired."
As she spoke, Haiyue reached into the bag of potato chips, took out a chip, and popped it into her mouth, making a crunching sound as she bit into it.
Hayakawa frowned slightly at her languid appearance, but had to admit that she was right; it didn't matter how many people taught such a simple thing.
"By the way, Haiyue, how are your grades?"
Hayakawa asked with some curiosity, "Compared to your two older sisters?"
"hum"
Cang Ye Haiyue's lips curled slightly as she magically produced a stack of test papers, all of which had a score of 95, and several even had perfect scores.
I'm coming clean: I'm number one in my grade.
"Me too... I was always first in my grade in middle school,"
Hayakawa's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a kindred spirit, but the next moment he scratched his head guiltily: "But it won't be the same in high school. I can only barely maintain the top three in the grade."
"You also have good grades?"
Aoba Kaigetsu also seemed a little surprised and said, "It's okay. I heard that high school questions are much harder than junior high school questions. Being able to get into the top three in the grade is already very impressive."
"There's not that much difference. If you're consistently number one in junior high, you should be number one in high school too."
Hayakawa shook her head slightly and said softly, "I didn't pass the exam because I was too... lazy. Miss Haizuki will definitely be fine."
"is it?"
Aoba Kaigetsu was slightly taken aback when she saw Hayakawa's expression.
The next second, Hayakawa regained her composure and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to have such good grades, Haiyue. I thought you would be like your two older sisters."
"How can it be!"
Aoba Haiyue retorted loudly, as if struck by a slap in the face, "I'm much smarter than them. I think there must have been something wrong with the genes they inherited at birth. Only I inherited the best genes from my parents..."
"I think so too."
Hayakawa nodded in deep agreement. He had previously thought that Aoba Yuzuki's poor grades might mean she hadn't inherited many human brain genes.
The two started talking more, and the somewhat awkward atmosphere became closer. This was the confidence that their excellent grades brought them, and this sense of recognition easily brought them closer together.
This is the world of top students. I think most people have experienced similar scenes: after an exam, a few top students occupy a corner of the classroom, discussing animatedly...
"Oh dear, I knew the answer to the last question should be B."
"I've solved most of the last problem, but unfortunately, I'm out of time..."
"I did manage to figure it out; the answer is the square root of two, but I don't know if it's correct."
"Yes! Me too..."
At this moment, they gathered together, chatting about chess and cards. Their combined confidence and sense of intellectual superiority enveloped the entire class, and the terrifying sense of oppression made the thousands of underachievers around them turn to dust if they took one step closer.
They were comparing answers, discussing various solutions to difficult problems, their faces radiating confidence and energy. Standing in the corner, they seemed less like school uniforms and more like socialites in sharp suits and tuxedos attending a ballroom dance, as if victory was already assured. And if anyone were to inconsiderately ask them how they did, well…
"Oh dear, I didn't do well on the test again."
"Don't ask anymore. It seems you got several multiple-choice questions wrong, and you also stumbled over your answers to the essay questions."
"I spent too much time on one question and didn't answer many of the rest. I failed this time..."
That's it, that's what top students are like.
This is an experience that almost everyone who has gone through school life has gone through; the feeling of being subtly intellectually oppressed is obviously not pleasant.
Qiako was the same. She secretly glanced at Hayakawa and Aoba Kaigetsu, who were chatting happily. Listening to what they were saying, especially the phrase "the questions are very simple," her face dimmed slightly for a moment. She wiped her eyes, picked up her pen, and continued to look at the questions. As for the potato chips that Hayakawa handed her, she hadn't touched them at all.
"Ahaha, is that so?"
Hayakawa said a few words and then turned back to look at the child, but he caught a fleeting look of sadness on her face. His heart skipped a beat, and he leaned down and whispered, "Sachiko, is there anything else you can't do?"
"I'm sorry... I was so stupid,"
Qia Zi gripped her pen tightly, her little face slightly darkening before regaining its stubbornness. She pursed her lips and said, "Mom tried to tutor me before, but she just couldn't teach me. She's too busy with work, so she had to entrust me to the temple. This has caused so much trouble for Haiyue-nee and Hayakawa-nii..."
"I will definitely learn it."
After saying that, she reached up and wiped the corner of her eye, her face tense as she looked down at the question intently.
Chapter 325 Lolita Complex?
"this…"
Upon hearing Qia Zi's words, Hayakawa was immediately terrified, staring at the girl in front of him in utter shock.
This child has the potential to become an emperor!
Hayakawa looked at the loli in front of her, whose expression was so serious it was almost rigid, pursed her lips slightly, and memories of the past came to mind.
"It's okay if you're a little slow, junior..."
A slow, sharp pain began to ache in Hayakawa's heart, and he lowered his head slightly in self-mockery.
I'm sorry, senior, I think I've done something annoying too.
"Little Qiazi, you're not stupid at all; it's my fault for not teaching you well,"
Hayakawa reached out and gently hugged the petite little girl in front of him, softly comforting her, "I'm sorry, I wasn't focused on teaching you just now. I'll try my best next time."
"Uh...oh, okay."
Qia Zi paused slightly, then stammered in agreement, clearly not used to being so close to others.
"Just study hard from now on. There's no need to be too anxious. You're only in sixth grade now. You have a long road ahead of you. Just take your time."
Hayakawa realized his lapse in composure, released the little girl, and then reached out to ruffle Sachiko's soft, short hair, his eyes unusually gentle.
He developed a fondness for talent.
Ah, such unparalleled talent, and it resonates so well with my Dao heart! This is the student I should truly accept!
Fumino Ogata Rizu is just too unpredictable and difficult to control; I can't compare to her.
As Hayakawa was thinking, he noticed that Aoba Kaigetsu next to him was staring at him with eyes wide open like copper bells.
"What?"
Hayakawa felt inexplicably ashamed and frowned.
"Um...I wanted to ask something,"
