Legacy of the Stars

Chapter 12 Focus on Learning

Inside the classroom of Class 4, Senior 3, Liu Yuan was explaining the questions on the test paper while discreetly inhaling the fragrance emanating from Li Dan’s body.

Observing the admiration in her eyes, Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel delighted. In the past, Li Dan wouldn't spare him a glance, but now she actively sought him out, seeking help with mathematics problems. This feeling seemed quite pleasant.

"Indeed, achievement is the ultimate justice!"

Liu Yuan sighed inwardly. In this high school era, being handsome might not always be useful, but having good academic performance and being proficient in studies definitely had its advantages.

Meanwhile, Li Dan listened attentively as Liu Yuan explained the mathematical problems. Her fair face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head even further upon seeing her classmates around her and the teacher seated at the front.

Listening to Liu Yuan's explanations, she stole glances at his handsome face from the corner of her eye, feeling the intangible aura he exuded. Her heart raced, as if under some enchantment that made her unable to resist wanting to be near him all the time. It was a strangely wonderful feeling.

"This feeling is so strange."

Li Dan's mind was no longer on the math questions. She was flustered and her face had turned red, hiding behind thick textbooks and test papers on her desk.

She had never paid attention to Liu Yuan before. Her focus had been on competing with the top students in the honors class. Unexpectedly, this time Liu Yuan surpassed her, making her take notice of him.

"I think that's about it. The main focus is still on the flexible application of functions, and related transformation questions are essentially centered around this knowledge point."

Liu Yuan finally finished explaining and checked the time. A whole class period had passed unnoticed.

"Is the class over already?"

"I was planning to study English, but I haven't done anything except teach math."

"Women are really troublesome!"

Liu Yuan lamented the loss of time; his study plan was disrupted because the entire class period had slipped away.

"Ding Ling Ling~ Ding Ling Ling~"

Soon, the bell for the end of class rang, jolting Li Dan out of her daze. She suddenly realized her cheeks were flushed, which was somewhat alarming.

"Thank you, I'm leaving now. I'll ask you again when I have time."

Blushing, Li Dan hurriedly left after saying this, keeping her head down as she practically flew back to her seat. Once there, she immediately covered her face with books, afraid that someone would notice her blushing and feverish cheeks.

Hu Huirong returned to his seat with an extremely complex expression. When he looked at Liu Yuan, his eyes seemed capable of killing.

"We're not friends anymore!"

Hu Huirong felt like crying but had no tears. He vividly remembered the scene where his goddess had blushed and hurried back to her seat, hiding behind her books.

"This..."

Liu Yuan was rendered speechless. He didn't know how to console him; it seemed he hadn't done anything wrong.

"Hu Huirong, can we change seats for this class? I have a few physics questions I want to ask Liu Yuan."

Still heartbroken, Hu Huirong hadn't even had a chance to calm down when Qiu Tingting approached to discuss changing seats.

"Ugh~"

Liu Yuan seemed to hear the sound of someone being violently struck.

"Sure~"

Hu Huirong stood up and silently took his textbooks and test papers with him as he left his seat.

Never had he imagined this seat would be so popular. There were people clamoring to change seats with him.

Now he felt like a wanderer, changing seats every class period. The whole classroom was his home.

Looking at his goddess Li Dan, who was still covering her face with books, his heart ached even more. It was utterly heartbreaking.

"Liu Yuan, this physics problem is so difficult. Can you explain it to me?"

As soon as Hu Huirong left, Qiu Tingting immediately sat down next to Liu Yuan and took out her test paper to ask questions.

"Oh, sure."

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded. He needed to study too. The previous class period had already disrupted his schedule, and now this. Could he even study anymore?

But looking at Qiu Tingting beside him, he seemed unable to find a reason to refuse.

"This can't go on. Studying is important. I can't let this kind of thing disrupt my learning."

"Let's finish this quickly."

Liu Yuan picked up the question and quickly started explaining. He was serious and detailed in his explanation, but Qiu Tingting's mind was elsewhere. She gazed at Liu Yuan, seemingly mesmerized, unconsciously getting closer to him.

"I've explained this question. Did you understand?"

Soon, after finishing one question, Liu Yuan looked at Qiu Tingting, who seemed lost in thought.

"Oh, yes, I understand, I understand~"

"Could you explain this question to me again? I don't understand it either."

Qiu Tingting snapped out of her daze, her face blushing bright red as she brought up another question.

"I don't understand this question either..."

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded. This seemed endless. This class period was likely going to be wasted again.

"Women are really troublesome~"

Helpless, he sighed and continued explaining.

Sure enough, as Liu Yuan had predicted, after one question, Qiu Tingting brought up another. Though she came to ask for help with questions, her mind was clearly not on studying.

The class period quickly passed. With the bell ringing, Qiu Tingting returned to her seat, blushing, while Hu Huirong returned to his seat feeling extremely dissatisfied.

"It never ends!"

Liu Yuan and Hu Huirong simultaneously sighed in exasperation.

"I have to ask the teacher to change my seat. Otherwise, I'll be changing seats with someone every class period. Home is where the heart is!"

Hu Huirong quietly picked up his textbooks and test papers.

As for Liu Yuan, he rubbed his head in frustration. There was no way he could study properly now.

...

"Liu Yuan, come out for a moment~"

During the last evening self-study session, the class teacher, Lu Xiao, called Liu Yuan out for a talk.

"Teacher Lu~"

Outside the classroom, Liu Yuan looked at his class teacher, wondering why he had been summoned.

"Liu Yuan, Senior 3 is the most crucial period in high school. You must strive to excel and prepare for next year's college entrance examination with all your might."

"Your grades are currently very good, but it's not time to be happy yet. You still need to grasp every opportunity and give your all to improve yourself. With your grades, as long as you make further progress, you have a real chance of aiming for the best universities."

Looking at Liu Yuan before him, Lu Xiao earnestly advised.

He had seen everything during the evening self-study session. Liu Yuan, who had previously gone unnoticed, had suddenly become a magnet for attention, particularly from girls. Lu Xiao was worried that Liu Yuan might forget about studying.

Looking at Liu Yuan, tall, handsome, and with excellent grades, having taught in high school for many years, Lu Xiao understood very well. Such boys were idols in the hearts of countless girls, and there would certainly be many girls actively pursuing him.

He feared that Liu Yuan might not be able to control himself. Once involved in a romantic relationship and unable to focus on studying, his grades could quickly decline.

He had seen this happen many times. Originally, there were students with excellent grades in honors classes, but once they started dating early, their grades plummeted rapidly. Therefore, in high school, teachers almost always emphasized strictly forbidding dating.

Lu Xiao knew about Liu Yuan's family situation. Seeing his sudden and remarkable improvement in grades made him relieved. He didn't want Liu Yuan to miss out on ideal universities because of such distractions.

"Teacher, I understand. I have always known that studying is the most important thing, and I have been sticking to it."

Liu Yuan replied solemnly.

"Well, that's good."

"How are your grandparents doing?"

Lu Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then asked about Liu Yuan's grandparents. As the class teacher, he was well aware of the situation of every student in the class.

"They are much better now. The reason I've made such remarkable progress in my studies is because my grandparents' condition has improved a lot. I no longer need to worry and can fully immerse myself in my studies."

"Well, that's great. Keep studying hard."

"I know your family's situation. If you want to stand out, studying is the only way. Your English scores aren't very good right now. In the future, you can focus on English and improve your scores. You have a good chance of aiming for top universities."

"Teacher, I'm already focusing all my efforts on studying English now, and I feel like I've improved a lot."

"That's good. Now go back and study hard!"

"Thank you, Teacher!"
