It was actually the class beauty, Tang Rou!

"...Can I help Lin Feng with that?" Tang Rou whispered. Not only was she the class beauty, but she was also the English class representative and had consistently held the top spot in comprehensive results.

The introverted Tang Rou was actually offering to help Lin Feng solve a problem?

How could this be possible?

Everyone was astounded. Even Cao Ying was taken aback for a moment before recovering. "Tang Rou, please sit down. Since Lin Feng said the problem is easy, let him do it himself. You can help him with problems, but you can't help him with his college entrance exams, let alone for the rest of his life..."

The tone in which Cao Ying spoke to Tang Rou was clearly milder. Although Cao Ying advocated for equal treatment of all students, good or bad, her attitude was markedly different when faced with the top-ranked student versus the one at the very bottom of the class.

Disappointment flickered across Tang Rou's face. She turned slightly to look at Lin Feng. Seeing him nod at her, she reluctantly returned to her seat.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng strode confidently onto the podium.

SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH...

In less than a minute, Lin Feng had finished the translation.

This was a translation problem testing attributive clauses and inverted sentences, specifically English-to-Chinese. For Lin Feng, it wasn't difficult at all.

As the 'Wolf King' of the White Wolf Troop, Lin Feng had traveled across seven continents and four oceans, mastering sixteen languages. English, as the world's lingua franca, was naturally like a second skin to him.

OH!

Upon seeing Lin Feng's answer on the chalkboard, the classroom fell silent.

Some students with strong English skills had also scribbled down their own answers on scratch paper after seeing the problem. However, comparing their answers to Lin Feng's, they all felt theirs was a clear notch below.

A good translation values "faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance." Lin Feng had achieved this almost to perfection. His answer was likely the standard one.

When Cao Ying saw Lin Feng's answer, she was stunned for a few seconds. Indeed, Lin Feng's answer was virtually identical to the standard answer.

"Teacher Cao, can I go down now?" Lin Feng yawned languidly.

Cao Ying's expression hardened. "Lin Feng," she said with a cold smile, "your answer is identical to the standard one. Do you think I can't tell if you're cheating? If you don't know, you don't know. Cheating? Can you cheat in the college entrance exam? You're only fooling yourself!"

Hearing this, the students below, who had initially felt inferior looking at Lin Feng's answer, had a sudden realization. So that's why Lin Feng's translation was so good! He cheated! Suddenly, the self-esteem Lin Feng had seemingly crushed surged back.

"I cheated? Teacher, you can't discriminate against underperforming students, can you? Are you saying that if an underperforming student solves a problem, it must be through cheating?" Lin Feng retorted dismissively, meeting Cao Ying's gaze from the podium.

Wow... so beautiful...

From his seat, Lin Feng hadn't gotten a full view of Cao Ying's figure. Now, standing face-to-face with her, he felt a sense of refreshment and his mood lifted considerably. Even though he had seen countless beautiful women from all over the world, he had to admit, this young English teacher possessed a kind of captivating charm he rarely encountered.

When Cao Ying saw Lin Feng's gaze travel slowly from her face down to her legs, a flush of shame and anger crept onto her cheeks. This guy is utterly shameless! she fumed internally.

"Alright then, I'll give you a few more questions."

Cao Ying glared fiercely at Lin Feng, picked up a piece of chalk, and turned to write two sentences on the chalkboard: one for English-to-Chinese translation, and one for Chinese-to-English.

These two problems were ones she had just improvised, so there were no standard answers. Moreover, for current high school students, their difficulty was absolutely top-tier.

The English sentence for translation comprised twenty-three words, at least fourteen of which were beyond the high school syllabus. The Chinese sentence for translation was a line of classical prose taken directly from the *Lisao*.

The students proficient in English stared at these two questions, their faces darkening as a headache began to set in. How are we supposed to tackle this? they despaired. For the English-to-Chinese, there are more words we don't recognize than ones we do. And the Chinese-to-English is archaic classical prose? That's hard enough to put into modern Chinese, let alone English!

"It's over, Lin Feng! You've offended Great Beauty Cao. You're doomed now!"

Seeing these two questions, many students immediately broke into a cold sweat for Lin Feng. It was obvious that Cao Ying was deliberately making things difficult for him. She clearly had no intention of letting him translate them successfully!

"Well? Are these two problems difficult or not?" Cao Ying snorted coldly, arms crossed, looking at Lin Feng with a hint of triumph.

In college, Cao Ying had been a translation expert and was also well-versed in poetry and classical literature. Composing such translations was second nature to her. However, for a high school student, it was an almost impossible task.

"Teacher Cao, you're paying me so much special attention. Could it be... you're falling in love with me?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, picked up the chalk, and walked to the front of the chalkboard. As he passed by Cao Ying, he whispered to her in an extremely low voice.

"You..."

Cao Ying's face instantly turned crimson. She never imagined a student would dare to tease her. But Lin Feng had spoken so softly that only she had heard him. Under the watchful eyes of the entire class, she was too flustered to react angrily, her cheeks burning with mortification.

That despicable Lin Feng!

She bit her lip gently, glared fiercely at Lin Feng's retreating back, and decisively blacklisted him in her mind.

Although she was a teacher, she hadn't even graduated from university yet. As a young woman in her early twenties, it wasn't surprising for her to act on impulse.

"WOW!"

Just then, a wave of gasps came from the students. Cao Ying snapped back to reality to find Lin Feng, having already finished the translation, looking at her with an amused expression.

Turning her head to see Lin Feng's answers on the blackboard, Cao Ying's beautiful face immediately froze.

Lin Feng's answers were impeccable!

Even if she were to translate these two impromptu questions herself, the results would be remarkably similar to Lin Feng's!

Dozens of pairs of eyes were watching from below. They would later look up dictionaries or ask other English teachers, so cornering Lin Feng was basically impossible.

Cao Ying glared angrily at Lin Feng, noticing he was also looking at her. His expression seemed to say, "Well, Teacher Cao? Since you 'love' me so much, care to 'love' me a little more?"

So furious was Cao Ying that her ears turned crimson and she bit her lip hard.

The atmosphere was painfully awkward. Cao Ying had completely lost her composure and didn't know what to do. Her face alternated between red, green, and pale white, her ample chest heaving rhythmically. To think a student with the worst grades in class has put me in such an awkward position! she fumed internally. This is so humiliating, I wish the ground would swallow me whole!

DING DING DING...

The afternoon dismissal bell rang.

This bell sounded like a lifeline for Cao Ying.

"Alright, class dismissed."

Cao Ying dropped the chalk, her face grim. She turned to Lin Feng, her eyes practically shooting fire, and coldly commanded, "Lin Feng, come to my office!"
