Be green tea in a British noble school

Like many children from wealthy families in China, Shanchu has been studying in international kindergartens, international primary schools, and international middle schools since he was a child.If it wasn't for family changes, Shanchu would have finished his international high school in China before taking the entrance exam for a foreign university.

It is also thanks to the international education he received since he was a child, so after coming to the Athens Academy, he has adapted well to his studies.

The Athens Academy teaches the b-level recognized by the international mainstream.British universities and universities in most other countries highly recognize b-level results.

B-level requires candidates to choose four subjects and take a study test.Although the subjects are chosen by the students independently, generally speaking, in order to reflect the comprehensive quality of the students, these four subjects must include a language subject, a science subject and a humanities subject, and the remaining fourth subject, many students will Choose art to reflect your taste and accomplishment.

Shanchu studied eight b-level subjects in junior high school, and got brilliant grades of A* in all eight subjects in the primary examination.

With excellent grades, good interview performance and letters of recommendation from alumni, Shanchu received a scholarship to enter Athens College.However, what faced him was not the "halo of a schoolmaster", but the "halo of a poor ghost". Everyone thought he was an introverted, weak and poor Asian.However, in an aristocratic school for men like the Academy of Athens, rich and noble British children who are definitely outgoing, social, strong, and stylistically skilled are more respected.

Many people took advantage of the opportunity to bully Shanchu, but not many were willing to make friends with him——for the latter, Shi Yu was one of them.

Shi Yu is willing to make friends with Shanchu for no other reason, because he is also an outcast Asian.

Now, Shi Yu and Shan Chu are sitting side by side in the corner of the classroom.

Shi Yu murmured to Shan Chu in a low voice: "Actually, since we were able to study in an international school since childhood, our family background is considered middle class. How come in the eyes of this group of students, we are poor ghosts?"

Shan Chu smiled: "Isn't the middle class just a dead poor ghost in the eyes of the nobles?"

"...It seems to be the same." Shi Yu was speechless.

After a pause, Shi Yu asked Shanchu: "Why did you choose history?"

Shanchu replied: "Because in the b-level examinations over the years, the historical average score is the lowest, and the number of high scorers is the fewest."

Shi Yu was surprised: "You know and still choose?"

Shan Chu smiled: "This is how I am outstanding!"

Seeing that Shanchu was usually depressed, Shi Yu couldn't help being surprised when he smiled so brightly, "You seem to have changed a lot after a holiday?"

Shanchu didn't answer the question, just said: "Tell me about you, since you are so afraid of history, why did you choose history?"

Shi Yu said depressedly: "My mother forced it."

"..." Shanchu was stunned.

"It's really my mother. She said that Cambridge's history is the best in the world, and she insisted on taking Cambridge's history major... I think she is really thinking too much. Can I go to Cambridge with my level?" Shi Yu muttered.

Shanchu said: "You have already come to Athens College, if you fail to pass the exam in Cambridge, it would be a bit embarrassing."

As the leader of private boys' schools, Athens College can achieve nearly 50% of the Oxbridge ratio.In other words, the students who fail to pass Oxbridge here are basically below average.

The two whispered, which attracted the attention of the history teacher.

The history teacher frowned and said, "Shanchu, Shiyu, what are you talking about?"

Shi Yu opened his mouth to answer the teacher's words: "We are discussing the questions on the blackboard."

The history teacher said: "Okay, then what point of view did you discuss?"

Shi Yu was stunned, and glanced at the blackboard, but saw the words "how?far?is?it?true?to?say?that?the?reform?movement?of?1898?in?china?was? doomed? from? the? start?"

Shi Yu was nervous for a moment, his head was stuck, and he murmured: "What is the reform? movement of? 1898? in? China?"

Shanchu reminded in a low voice: "The Reform Movement of [-]!"

At this time, a student named Toby who was sitting nearby laughed and said, "Is this a Chinese history question? Don't you Chinese students know it?"

Shan Chu sneered, this student named Toby did not let him down much, and interestingly, Toby himself did not study very well.

Shanchu smiled, feeling the gazes of the whole class on this side, and replied calmly: "we?agree?that?the?reform?movement?was?doomed.?first?of?all,?the? reforms?were?radical,?and?the?reformers?lacked?sufficient?support..." Shanchu was indeed familiar with Chinese history, so he talked endlessly about the reasons for the failure of the Reform Movement of [-].

Toby turned blue when he heard it.

In the past, Shanchu had been very silent, so everyone didn't take him seriously. Unexpectedly, his knowledge was very solid, and his spoken English was fluent and logical.

Even Earl Gray, who was a classmate, also felt that he had looked at Shan Chu a few more times, thinking: So he is a student with good grades?That's really good for promotional material.

After hearing Shanchu's answer, the history teacher's complexion improved, he nodded, and then let Shanchu go.

Shi Yu also showed gratitude to Shan Chu: "Thank you."

Shan Chu waved his hand.

After the history teacher explained, he distributed the next handout and asked everyone to discuss the topics in the handout in groups.

Both Shanchu and Shiyu are embarrassed, because generally no one wants to discuss with them.However, at this time, a beautiful boy with brown hair and amber eyes waved to them and invited them to join.

Shi Yu's eyes widened: "Xueba invites us to join the chat!"

It turned out that this handsome brown-haired boy was a recognized academic master, and his name was Brighton.

Shan Chu didn't feel overly flattered, he just said, "I'm also a top student."

Shi Yu turned her head: "But you are a poor ghost."

"!" Shan Chu was speechless.

"Poor ghosts should study well." Shi Yu said, "Otherwise, they would have no chance of turning over."

Brighton is a son of a famous family. Obviously he can not study hard, but studying hard is very precious.

Shi Yu and Shan Chu went to the Xueba group together.

Of course, Brighton is the leader of the discussion group. The same group is composed of several students from good families, including Toby who just made a mockery.Seeing Brighton recruiting Shanchu and Shiyu, Toby was very upset: "What do you want them to do?"

Brighton said: "Contribute."

Toby was swept away by Brighton's eyes, and immediately felt guilty: he really didn't make any contribution.Every time he is at the tail end of the crane against the results of the group.

But because Toby and Brighton are relatives, Brighton will bring him.

When Shi Yu sat in the Xueba group, he was very disturbed.

On the contrary, Shanchu is stable and stable, just like he should have been in this group in the first place.

Originally, Brighton didn't notice that there was such a character as Shanchu in the class, but now discussing together, he found that Shanchu is very powerful.He just thought that Shanchu was an Asian who was more familiar with Asian history. Unexpectedly, Shanchu was familiar with the history of all parts of the world, his knowledge reserve was quite amazing, and he had excellent critical thinking, and his answers to questions were thorough and to the point.

Brighton couldn't help but glance at Shan Chugao.

Toby gritted his teeth on the sidelines: It's fine for Brighton to talk eloquently, but why can Shanchu, a poor ghost, talk eloquently?Who do you really think you are?

In his previous life, Toby bullied Shanchu a lot.

Shan Chu remembered it all in his heart.

After the discussion, the history teacher asked the Xueba group to talk about the results of the discussion.

Xueba Brighton said very modestly: "This question is about the Meiji Restoration in Japan. Asian student Shanchu has a very good opinion. Let Shanchu talk about his views."

Shanchu was quite surprised when he heard Brighton say this: According to his previous life memory, Brighton was very proud, usually he didn't even look at himself.Maybe, seeing Brighton was very proud at the beginning, or maybe Shanchu himself was too inferior.

Although Brighton was born noble, he is indeed a person who respects knowledge and talents, and does not have the bad temper of the old nobleman.

Shanchu said something along the way, and after he finished speaking, he pretended to continue what Brighton had said, and said: "As an Asian student, I do have a lot of ideas in Asian history... and this question analyzes and compares the colonial strategies of Britain and France. , I think everyone can listen to the opinion of Toby, who is of mixed English and French."

Toby's face turned red immediately: "I...I..."

He couldn't say that he didn't understand, he opened his mouth in embarrassment, and began to make a mess of statements.

This nonsense aroused everyone's contemptuous eyes.

Toby couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly ended the chaotic description after saying a few words. He lowered his head with a blushing face, and caught a glimpse of Brighton from the corner of his eyes, and saw Brighton's disapproval.

Toby's heart tightened even more, and he couldn't help hating Shanchu even more.

After class, Toby stopped Shan Chu who was about to leave the classroom, and asked aggressively: "Did you just play me on purpose?"

"What are you talking about?" Shanchu immediately performed green tea, with an innocent face, "I don't understand what you mean."

Toby said angrily: "Did you just let me talk about the history of English and French, did you mean to make me look ugly?"

"Oh my god! Why do you think so?" Shanchu looked surprised, "Didn't you say that Chinese people understand Chinese history? Then I took it for granted that you knew the history of Britain and France!"

Toby choked.

Shanchu continued: "Besides, just now Brighton said that I am Asian and answered the Asian questions. Of course I thought you were English and French, so I answered the English and French questions. Besides, didn't we all say the answers in the group discussion just now? huh? I thought you heard it all... how do you know..."

Indeed, every question was discussed in the group discussion just now. As long as Toby listened carefully to the speeches of other students, he should know the answer and would not be left speechless.

Toby refused to find problems with himself, pointing at Shan Chu and said, "Don't say such things to me! You..."

"Toby, that's enough." Brighton's voice was not loud, but Toby could be silenced immediately, "Shan Chu is right, we have discussed this question, you should know how to answer it."

Toby blushed and couldn't speak a word.

Shanchu had a gentle look on his face: "Brighton, don't be so strict. In fact, there were several topics discussed just now. It's normal for Toby not to remember for a while."

Brighton looked at Shanchu, a little surprised that Shanchu would defend Toby.Brighton couldn't help but look at Shanchu more, only to find that Shanchu has a very unusual beauty, which is different from European beauties. Shanchu's outline is shallower, which is not so stunning at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is a breeze As beautiful as the moon.

Brighton was in a daze: Shanchu is beautiful, kind, and knowledgeable. What kind of treasure is this?

Brighton was young and simple-minded, so he drank Shanchu's green tea right away.

Toby went mad with rage and yelled, "Brighton, don't you trust this a?big?asshole!"
