Chapter 94: All Are Worthy Opponents

"Ms. Li, Ms. Wang from Class Seven is sick and has taken a sudden leave. Could you substitute for her today?" The grade supervisor walked into the office and spoke to Li Junmei, who was preparing her lesson plan.

The moment Li Junmei thought of Ruan Cha in that class, she sneered and rolled her eyes.

"Double pay."

The supervisor added, and Li Junmei's expression instantly brightened. "Alright, I'll get ready."

The third period was English class.

Ruan Cha, still upset from yesterday’s encounter with Gu Zhenzhi, spent the whole day slumped over her desk, listless.

As soon as the class bell rang, Li Junmei walked in carrying the English textbook. At that moment, Ruan Cha was sending a message to Gu Zhenzhi.

[Gu Zhenzhi, you’re such a bastard!!!]

After sending it, she looked up and immediately noticed Li Junmei’s deliberate gaze lingering on her. "Your English teacher is sick, so I’ll be substituting today. Take out the test paper you finished before."

Ruan Cha was distracted, staring absentmindedly at the green plant on the windowsill. Why was Gu Zhenzhi so stubborn? When would he finally like her? When would she be able to return to the real world?

"Listen carefully, everyone. Don’t fantasize about getting first place in the grade without studying. None of you are Gu Jiayan—have some self-awareness." Li Junmei tapped the blackboard, clearly aiming her words at Ruan Cha.

Ruan Cha suddenly felt a wave of gazes fall on her and withdrew her eyes from the window.

"Ruan Cha, I see you weren’t paying attention. Is it because you already know all this? If so, stand up and translate this reading passage."

Li Junmei had noticed Ruan Cha’s distraction and called on her without mercy to translate the passage.

The class glanced at the passage—one of the most difficult ones, full of challenging vocabulary. Even with a dictionary, translating it word for word would be nearly impossible. Besides, when they did reading comprehension, no one translated every sentence in detail.

It was obvious Li Junmei was championing Gu Jiayan from her own class and trying to put Ruan Cha in her place.

Everyone grew subtly excited at the prospect.

Shen Susu, seated next to Ruan Cha, glanced at the passage, her ears flushing red with anxiety. She wanted to help Ruan Cha, but after reading through, she only recognized a, is, e...

Desperately thinking, Shen Susu looked at the first sentence of the passage.

She quietly wrote on her own test paper: "Whether they are big children or small children, it's permissible to hit them."

Then, with hopeful eyes, she handed the paper to Ruan Cha.

Ruan Cha lowered her gaze and casually took Shen Susu’s paper. Seeing that sentence, she chuckled softly.

"Just translate, no need to laugh. What’s so funny?" Li Junmei snapped coldly, her tone impatient.

Ruan Cha swept an icy glance at Li Junmei, took the paper, and responded calmly, "Greatness is insignificance. In 2013, the National Research Institute conducted a survey..."

She translated swiftly, each sentence flowing effortlessly from her lips, as if the paper she was reading wasn’t in English, but in her native tongue.

The whole class was stunned.

They exchanged bewildered looks, and the student seated on the other side of Ruan Cha even stood up to check her test paper, curious to see what was written.

Standing at the podium, Li Junmei, who had been waiting for Ruan Cha to embarrass herself, stiffened as she realized Ruan Cha’s translation was more accurate than her own answer key.

When Ruan Cha finished translating the entire passage in a steady tone, she glanced indifferently at Li Junmei. "Is there anything else?"
