Han Zixin and An Xiulan were standing in Teacher Cao's office waiting for him to finally reveal why he asked them to come to his office during lunch break.
"This student…"Teacher Cao began speaking as she put forward a file of the student in their class. It was no other than Yan Shan.
"He is the latest victim of puppy love. I have received complaints about him buying flowers from the flower shop a little away from school. From the nearby supermarket, he has been buying chocolates. He is usually lost in dreams."The teacher said with pursed lips. He didn't look happy.
After a slight pause, he went on, "Although his grades are not that good, he is good at sports. He is part of the athlete team. The sports teacher has shared with me how Yan Shan is late to practice and when he comes, he is usually busy sending messages on his phone."
Unlike most of the students in Class Ten K, Yan Shan wasn't a rich young master, he got admitted into Jingyuan high school because of his extraordinary talent in sports that he had shown in middle school. Thus, Yan Shan was the student who was admitted to the school through the sports quota.
"This doesn't look good for his future, "The teacher said with furrowed brows. "If he doesn't maintain his performance, it will be very difficult to get him into college through sports quota. Also, Yan Shan is admitted to Jingyuan High School despite having low scores because of his talent. If he doesn't improve in this trial game, he will be kicked out of the athlete team."
There was a rule in Jingyuan High that if the quota students didn't maintain the required scores, they wouldn't be given admission in the next year.
"As the President and Vice President of the committee, it's your duty to save your classmate from the disadvantages of puppy love!"
Han Zixin and An An Xiulan shared a look and then nodded their heads while looking at the teacher. They could understand the severity of the matter.
"Rest assured sir, we will not let our friend be a victim of puppy love anymore!" An Xiulan said, full of vigour.
"En." This was what stingy Han zixin said.
"If you succeed, I will help you create simple and less complicated notes for your subject," The teacher tempted her. He knew she strived to work hard but she just didn't know the right approach. "I know you have a good foundation for history but your tendency to add spice in history to make it less boring messes everything up."
"I know stories help in learning history better but those stories have to be relevant and true," The teacher next said, surprising both of the students. "Since your class likes stories more, I will try another approach to teach you history from tomorrow onwards."
An Xiulan and Han zixin shared a look and smiled at each other.
"Thank you, teacher."
When the teacher had seen the entire class Ten K more engaged in An Xiulan's story than in his lecture, he had to stop and ponder for a moment.
Was he teaching history to his students in the right way?
Did he fail to find out why his students were having difficulty in his subjects?
Teacher Cao was trying to teach them the way he had understood the subject during his time or the way his teachers had taught him. But was it the right way to teach these students?
The learning methodology was different for every students. The method he had learned two decades ago might not be relevant today.
He had understood one thing today that if he wants his students to score good marks in his subject, he has to change his approach and method of teaching. And it was this girl who always infuriated him to no end that made him see that.
"I will talk to Yan Shan," Boss Han said as soon as they came out of the office but An Xiulan grabbed quickly his hand in protest.
"No. No. You will beat him," An Xiulan said. She had seen the attitude of students of her class when they talked about members of the committee.
"Didn't I say I will talk to him?" Han Zixin gave her a lazy smirk.
"You don't talk but threaten!" An Xiulan said as a matter of fact.
"Whatever!"

Author Note: I haven't been able to write chapters. The stockpile is about to end and so I thought of putting the book on Hiatus. Then, I was like what if I died today and couldn't end the book?
I may post slowly but it will be sure.
