Chapter 33 Chinese Learning in Progress

  The Ice Emperor still pervades the atmosphere of Chinese coolness everywhere, while Class C of Second Year can't see that gloomy background at all, because they know it will always be solved.

  In Bingdi, there are four classes in the morning, with a 30-minute break between the first two and last two classes. Recently, that time has been used by second-year C-class students to ask Xingmu Yanfu questions about Chinese.

  A blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl sat in her seat, a faint smile on her beautiful face, surrounded by many classmates, with only the sound of their questions and her voice answering them.

  And Hiyori was also surrounded by many classmates, because of the reason that Kiriya Akane was tutoring them. Hiyori had some achievements in learning Chinese at the beginning, so he could handle his classmates who were still struggling to learn Chinese and took on the role of reducing her burden.

  In front of others, Riichi still had that cold expression, somewhat chilly and with a voice that seemed to be unapproachable. Usually, it was quite intimidating, and people in his class used to think he was hard to get close to, but for some reason, maybe because of Kiriya Akane, people in the class weren't as afraid of him anymore.

  At first, when Yoshiki said that those who didn't understand could ask him, it shocked the classmates. However, looking at his cold and serious eyes, some students hesitated but still asked for his guidance. No choice, there was only one Akane Tsunemori, so some students who couldn't squeeze in next to her decided to try asking Yoshiki with a "try and see" attitude.

  Hijirifu was doing well in class even before the Chinese lesson started, and his classmates who asked him questions were really enlightened, and they also learned several new words. Occasionally, Kiriya Akane would praise Hijirifu's pronunciation as good and his grammar without errors. The classmates who asked Hijirifu for help felt relieved, and during the process of asking for help, Hijirifu performed well, gradually letting his classmates put down their fear of him and acknowledging his position as another small teacher in Chinese class.

  Half an hour passed quickly like flowing water, the class bell rang again, and all the classmates returned to their seats, starting the lesson.

  Riko returned to her seat next to Akane, and at the same time, the teacher entered the classroom. It just so happened that it was Chinese class. The classmates had just asked about the content of this lesson, which could be considered a preview, and then they would listen to the teacher's lecture in class, leaving a much deeper impression.

  Well, all of you want to learn Chinese well, right?

  Chinese class is very dull in many classes at Ice Emperor, because Chinese is too difficult for them. But in Class C of Grade 2, it is absolutely the most popular subject. This makes the Chinese teacher of Class C of Grade 2 feel exceptionally delighted, and she often receives envious glances from other Chinese teachers at Ice Emperor.

  The Chinese teachers of Ice Emperor are all graduates from top universities in China, majoring in Japanese language. The students of Ice Emperor want to learn Chinese, and the Chinese teachers who have just graduated still have a strong passion for learning Japanese, which will even increase their enthusiasm. Both parties want to learn each other's proficient languages well. Therefore, the reason why Ice Emperor hires those people as teachers is that they can learn from each other and ignite their learning enthusiasm. Such teacher-student relationships will have a lot of communication and it's easy to get along with each other.

  Although Chinese teachers are not teaching their own professional courses, precisely because the environment is in Japan, learning Japanese in its home country will naturally be twice as effective. Moreover, they are teaching their mother tongue and receiving top-notch treatment, making this job extremely lucrative for them.

  The Chinese teacher of 2nd year C class is a 24-year-old woman, graduated from Peking University in Beijing, China. Her name is Yuling Chen. This teacher was personally selected by Kaidou Minami and Shizuka Naoki, and she was the top student in the Japanese department at that university. She has a sweet appearance, pure temperament, and is approachable. Even when standing in front of students who are much younger than her, she doesn't look out of place. She can speak very fluent Japanese with accurate pronunciation, and the classmates quite like this teacher.

  As usual, the class atmosphere was lively because of the presence of two Chinese teaching assistants, Lin Xiangru and Riya. Yuling Chen's work was very easy, and today, in addition to the course content, Yuling Chen also assigned another learning task - to memorize the pronunciation of each other's Chinese names.

  The classroom was in an uproar, they had a great passion for Chinese and it was a happy thing to be able to call friends in Chinese.

  "Hello! How is your name pronounced in Chinese?"

  "Hey! Tell me how to pronounce your name in Chinese!"

  "By the way, teach us how to write your name in Chinese, Akagi..."

  “…”

  Such voices kept echoing in the classroom, discussing how to read and write the name of Lingmu Xiangfu. Yuling Chen saw such a scene for the first time in class, feeling a little surprised. In fact, she didn't know that it was Lingmu Xiangfu who taught everyone Chinese privately, thinking that her own class was too lively, so everyone was so enthusiastic. But now, it seems she was wrong?

  Akane Tsunemori was surrounded after Yubel's words fell, and everyone asked her those questions. The whole classroom was like a vegetable market. However, it only lasted for a short while, as everyone waited for Akane's response, gradually quieting down.

  "When you are familiar with the Chinese pronunciation of each other's names and can write them well, I will tell you how to pronounce and write my name...". Akane Kuzu replied, leaving everyone stunned. Because in the past, no matter what question they asked her, she would answer directly, but this time, the question had such a premise?

  "What's wrong? Don't you have confidence that the day will come sooner?" Akane Kiriya smiled slightly as she looked at their stunned faces.

  "Of course I do!" Although her classmates were taken aback for a moment, upon hearing her words, they couldn't possibly think that she didn't have the confidence! After all, students from Class C of Year 2 are the elite of the prestigious academy, and in this aspect, they can't help but feel a little proud - how could they possibly think they're inferior?

  What Akane Tsunemori said was nothing more than to inspire them to have a greater passion for learning. The more they want to know how to pronounce and write her name in Chinese, the more motivated they will be to practice the pronunciation and spelling of their classmates' names as well as their own first. Although there are 30 people in the class, remembering the Chinese pronunciation and spelling of their names is a certain amount of work for them now. But if Akane Tsunemori has enough weight in their hearts, that day will come soon.

  Hei Ri didn't notice this at all, and could only sigh that her thoughts were very meticulous.

  "May I know how to read and write your name?" The Ice Emperor's disciples had actually learned the pronunciation and spelling of their own names under Kiriya Aoi's guidance, but she had taught them so much every day during supplementary lessons that it wasn't until now that Hiyori realized they hadn't even learned her Chinese name.

  Qingmu Xiang heard this and turned her head to look at him, smiling faintly, "Of course..."

  It's just that the classmates around me are envious and resentful, why can Dejiko get that priority ah!!!

  "Waaah, our status is indeed different from that of Higashi-kun!" said Antoku Seishou, the class representative sitting next to Kiriya Aoi, with a resentful tone. And with her saying so, it only strengthened the classmates' resentment, their eyes looking at Kiriya Aoi shining brightly with messages like "You're biased".

  "Riichi has already learned the pronunciation and spelling of his own name..." Akagi's explanation, Emma, suddenly dispersed their resentment. You have that capital to get priority, if you have the ability, go tell Akagi that I can already read and write my own name in Chinese!

  But...

  "Hey, he hasn't even memorized all of ours yet, that's not fair!" An Teng said with a hint of sourness, having carefully observed the situation.

  Classmates suddenly realized, resentment struck again, ah! Is it that Yoshida hasn't remembered all of theirs yet!!!!!

  Akane Kaito: "..." It's really because of the difference in their daily lives, she overlooked that point. Can she say that she feels a little embarrassed?

  These people...!!!!

  Is it to prevent him from having further contact with Kiriya Aoi?!

  A chill began to spread throughout the classroom, an abnormally sharp aura suddenly rose, and everyone shuddered, looking at Ryūji's piercingly cold eyes in shock, which clearly showed his dissatisfaction.

  "Ahaha, why is the weather so hot today? The sun is being too diligent...” An Teng Qing's heart was secretly lamenting and had reached a point where she was about to get angry. She was so scared that all her hair stood on end. Because of being overly nervous, the cold air unexpectedly made her palms, forehead, and back sweat!

  Everyone: "..." What's the big deal?! They're almost frozen to death by Yukiatsu's cold demeanor! Emma, they're really asking for it! Yukiatsu doesn't even have the mind to remember their names! It's already impressive that he can remember Japanese names! Or maybe just remembering that you're his classmate is good enough!
