Yan Han was known for his stubborn and domineering temper.
His method of setting rules was equally direct.
He said, “You can ask questions in the future, but remember, you’re asking questions, not testing anyone. Please focus on the questions. Whether it’s me or him, answering your questions doesn’t require you to say thank you, but don’t give us this nonsense. If I hear you speaking so sarcastically again, watch out…”
“Watch out for what?” Yan Han didn’t say.
But his clenched fist said it all.
Ran Guanjun and the others were stunned: “…”
Although most of the students in this class were top students, they weren’t stupid. If someone else clenched their fist to threaten them, probably no one would take it seriously.
But with Yan Han, as soon as he suddenly revealed his fierce and domineering side, his expression, actions, and tone of voice all conveyed one message— he had a fiery temper and was not to be trifled with.
And he was serious.
….
So why was the school beauty’s personality so inconsistent with her appearance?!
She seemed perfectly normal this morning; the school beauty was always engrossed in her studies, quiet and not saying a word…
How did she suddenly become such a tyrant?!
Looking at the school beauty’s murderous aura and the academic genius beside her, whose eyes couldn’t hide his amusement, everyone realized that the school beauty had been quite…fierce even before she became famous? …
A person who can fight thugs bare-handed is definitely not as delicate as they appear; they were all deceived by appearances!
Not only was her attitude aggressive, but her words were also direct and to the point.
The things others would have stammered out were exposed by Yan Han, and Ran Guanjun, thoroughly scolded, slunk away. The others scattered immediately, not daring to linger.
After today’s incident, how could they dare to casually test the academic genius?
Actually, saying they were testing him was just a way of expressing their disbelief that someone in this world could actually be so powerful.
Normally it was fine, but when someone like this came to their class, giving them a point of comparison, their resentment intensified. That’s why Ran Guanjun wanted to take advantage of the fact that the top student switching from arts to science might not have mastered physics, chemistry, and biology yet, and quickly “test” him with a difficult physics problem.
But unexpectedly, not only did the physics problem fail him, but even the student next to him couldn’t stump him…
Everyone’s gaze towards their last table had changed!
However, whatever happened, this incident still conveyed a few pieces of information to these students— first, neither the top student nor the school beauty should be underestimated. Leaving aside the top student, even the school beauty, who was previously unknown academically, could solve problems they couldn’t solve…
Being able to climb up from a lower-ranked class shows that it wasn’t just luck; she really had some skills.
In fact, aside from students with special talents, it was not uncommon for someone to jump from class 17 to class 10 in just two semesters at Luze High School, but only a very few geniuses could achieve this.
Firstly, Luze High School boasted an exceptionally high school student body, admitting only students with outstanding provincial middle school entrance exam scores. Those initially placed in lower classes were either gifted students or students from wealthy families who essentially got in through bribery. While some of these students might suddenly become diligent, the students in the higher classes were also studying intensely, like wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Getting into classes like 12 or 13 in such a short time could be attributed to good exam performance and luck, but to directly enter class 10… this person must either be exceptionally intelligent or have put in several times the effort of an average person.
Moreover, it seems the school beauty’s knowledge extends far beyond what she learned in first grade.
So, is the school beauty actually exceptionally intelligent?!
Or was she already a high achiever, and only deliberately went to a lower class to experience life because she was in a bad mood?
….
The students in class 10 looked at Yan Han with unanimous suspicion.
Of course, there was another possibility… this was the second point they all noticed simultaneously… the school beauty hadn’t made such a significant improvement in the last class placement exam; she had only entered class 14.
Based on their observations and the rumors they’d heard, it seemed that ever since the two became deskmates last semester, the top student had been helping the school beauty with her studies.
So it was obvious that her extraordinary progress in just six months was entirely due to Lin Jianlu!
The students who realized this were ecstatic.
Especially since they’d gleaned from the school beauty’s words… the top student didn’t mind people asking questions!
Hadn’t he said he’d answer any genuine question? While the truth of this was still uncertain, if they encountered a knowledge point they didn’t understand, they might try asking… Many had this thought; some were willing to try, bringing their genuinely difficult questions for help.
And once the first person to ask a question received a satisfactory answer, the others forgot all about being top students!
They quickly abandoned their pride as members of Class 10, enthusiastically bringing their genuinely difficult questions and lessons they hadn’t grasped to Lin Jianlu.
Yan Han hadn’t expected his words to have such an effect, and was a little dumbfounded, feeling sorry for Lin Jianlu, as if he’d unintentionally caused him some trouble.
However, Lin Jianlu didn’t seem to mind. In fact, he seemed quite welcoming.
He would glance at the questions of everyone who came to him for help, then filter them out.
If it was a specific knowledge point from the textbook or a classic question type, he would have Yan Han answer it.
He would only answer meaningless questions, or those that were particularly obscure or difficult, completely unnecessary for Yan Han to deal with and a waste of time.
In Lin Jianlu’s words, “Helping others answer their questions is also a test for myself, and it also helps solidify my knowledge.”
“Hmm,” Yan Han nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Especially for someone like him who absorbed knowledge so quickly, he often found himself understanding and memorizing a point, but then struggling to apply it flexibly when needed.
Helping others answer their questions effectively improved this situation.
After all, the questions from the students in Class 10 were quite challenging, and those that came to him after Lin Jianlu’s filtering were of exceptionally high quality.
While researching problem-solving methods, Yan Han not only consolidated his knowledge by identifying key concepts, but also gradually cultivated the ability to integrate and apply knowledge comprehensively while considering solution strategies.
Solving these problems sometimes yielded greater benefits than completing a full set of practice papers on his own, and it was also more time-efficient.
Previously, he wouldn’t refuse anyone’s questions, but now that he’d received a benefit, he was even more eager to help. While Yan Han was engrossed in solving problems, everyone who heard Lin Jianlu’s words thought, “…”
So that’s what “accepting all comers” meant!
The top student wasn’t helping them out of kindness, but rather to mentor the person next to him…
It wasn’t that they were angry, but it was obvious who was more important. They were all classmates, yet the scales were so skewed!
Everyone roared inwardly!
But even if they felt the top student was biased, there was nothing they could do. After all, their relationship… they couldn’t possibly match it, and they couldn’t be envious.
Of course, these classmates didn’t have time to be jealous.
Because those who came with the first questions gradually discovered that their doubts were not only resolved, but often in ways they hadn’t even considered— in simpler ways!
Some knowledge points that they hadn’t grasped through self-study or in class became simple and easy to understand after Yan Han explained them in various ways.
Moreover, the school beauty’s earnestness in explaining problems left a deep impression, so much so that even after a long period of not reviewing and forgetting everything else, the problems and knowledge points she explained remained vividly imprinted in their minds.
These students, while amazed, couldn’t help but feel that their previous refusal to help others was petty and narrow-minded.
Subsequent exams clearly demonstrated that spending time answering questions not only didn’t hinder their studies but actually led to a significant improvement in their grades.
Yan Han was a prime example.
Because the questions and knowledge points he was asked about were generally of high quality, Yan Han initially had many problems he couldn’t solve.
However, these were selected by Lin Jianlu; the questions Lin Jianlu assigned him were of moderate difficulty and beneficial to him… With unwavering faith in this, Yan Han always managed to find the answers to these questions.
The process of exploration helped him solidify his knowledge and promote his thinking, coupled with the foundation he had built before…
On the first day he started helping others, Yan Han himself didn’t realize the qualitative change that would occur within him during this period.
The most obvious point was that although he later focused his attention on math competitions for a period of time, reducing the time and energy he spent on regular classes, his grades remained unaffected and continued to improve steadily.
….
Of course, the other students also knew that besides answering their questions, the school beauty also devoted a lot of time and energy to her own studies.
This was evident from Yan Han’s usual study habits and her nightly live streams.
Some of them knew about Yan Han’s nightly live streams before, but back then, Yan Han was in an average class, with grades far behind theirs, so many just listened casually, thinking it was a joke and not worth watching.
But as Yan Han’s grades improved dramatically, her live streams became increasingly popular through word of mouth. More than half of the students in Class 10 studied with their “Brother Yan” after school, sometimes anonymously discussing problems in the comments section, making the live stream increasingly popular. With this precedent, the atmosphere of discussing problems and learning from each other gradually intensified in the class. But these are all later stories, so let’s leave them aside for now.
A day later, the number of people coming to ask questions had grown into a large group with organization. Many people, even those who didn’t have questions, would gather around to listen to the explanations, resulting in their table being surrounded by people as soon as class ended.
With so many people, bumping into each other was inevitable. Yan Han, worried that Lin Jianlu wouldn’t be comfortable sitting on the outer edge, suggested they switch seats.
“Why don’t you sit inside?”
His thinking was simple: he was currently responsible for explaining most of the questions after understanding them, so Lin Jianlu didn’t need to answer many of them. This meant that Lin Jianlu actually had less contact with other students than he did.
Considering that not only was Lin Jianlu at risk of being bumped into, but others would also have to crane their necks to listen to his explanations while being careful not to bump into Lin Jianlu, it would be quite tiring for them.
After all, he was a rough guy and didn’t mind being bumped or jostled.
But to his surprise, the suggestion was immediately rejected by Lin Jianlu, a complete and utter rejection without even a second thought.
Lin Jianlu said, “No.”
Yan Han: “Why?”
“Because my taboo has changed now.”
“Hmm?”
Lin Jianlu paused slightly, then carefully described, “If someone touches you, I’ll feel even more uncomfortable.”
“…”
Big Brother Lin was speaking seriously about his recent experiences, clearly not joking.
Although Lin Jianlu had become mischievous, he would never joke about this.
Yan Han: “…”
