The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao did not hesitate and spoke, “Sir, I will need some time to think about it.”

Professor Newt realized that he has been a little too abrupt in his proposal. He nodded and said, “Good, take your time.”Â

He sent Yang Dao back to his seat, he explained the method by comparing his with Yang Dao’s.Â

The class continued smoothly. The bell rang and the professor left the room after assigning them some homework. Yang Dao and others then picked up their bags and left to attend other classes. Icarus stuck to Yang dao as he had selected the same subjects like him. Icarus spoke, “Say, Dao, what do you think? Would the teacher of the next course be a beauty or a man?”

Yang Dao glanced at his new friend with a strange expression, and said, “Can you not be so dirty in your brain Icarus?”

Icarus grinned cheekily and said, “It is a skill bro, you have no culture. It would be nice if the teacher was a beauty.”

Yang Dao asked, “How would it be nice?”

Icarus shook his head and said, “Her pretty appearance will be helpful in listening to the lecture and learning.”

Yang Dao spoke, “You will be focused on her looks and not the subject, perv.” his voice was low as a lot of people were gazing at him and Icarus. Yet Icarus was shameless, and he said, “Shut it, why do you sound like a nagging grandpa.”

Yang Dao shrugged his shoulders and decided not to pay attention to this guy anymore and entered the classroom. He found his seat and sat down in silence. Icarus went on to meet some of his acquaintances. The class was not started yet so they could move around. Yang Dao took out his notebook. Just when he was about to fill up the index, a clicking sound attracted his attention. Yang Dao raised his head to look at the door of the classroom. What he saw next struck him faint. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

In walked a woman in a knee-high black skirt and blue shirt, her legs were covered with silky stockings, both black in color.  Her hair tied in a nice bun. She had a pair of glasses resting on her slightly long nose. A tiny black dot on her chin enhanced her beauty. She had plain-looking gold studs as earrings and light makeup. This lady is the teacher of computer operations.Â

She walked inside the room and the whole class fell silent the boys even froze on the spot. Yang Dao stood up and spoke, “Good morning, professor.” his voice woke up the rest and they scrambled to their seats. They all stood up and greeted the lady, “Good morning, Professor.”

The lady nodded and spoke in a calm yet indifferent voice, “Good morning, I am your professor for computer operations and you all will address me as professor Dew. Now starting with attendance.” the lady took a roll count and then with her slim jade fingers she picked up the chalk. She wrote down on the board the topic of the class. The lecture started. Yang Dao did not care about anything and kept taking notes. He was writing very gracefully and suddenly he heard a ‘snap’

He raised his head and saw Professor Dew facing the class and she spoke, “If I found anyone using cell phones in the class. I will relieve him or her from ever attending my lectures.” her eyes were on a boy in the middle who was using his cellphone. Professor Dew spoke, “This is a class of computer operations, but before I put you in front of a screen I want to know that you have all the basics I teach at your fingertips so that you don’t embarrass me out in the world.”

Yang Dao kept listening to this calmly. It had nothing to do with him what others did. He was very selfish when it came to studies. Although he would not mind helping others it was also because that way he can revise his work more. he did not buy himself a smartphone because he did not want any distraction. He has been saving money ever since he was in high school by working part-time and freelancing as a program tester. The money he saved in three years was equal to two million.Â

Imagine how big of a geek he was. He would not only spot the bugs in the programs but also fix them and sell the better version to the company at a low price. He did not see it as a laborious task but it was his practice. Professor Dew spoke, “Now anyone who can come over and complete the code I wrote on the board will be allowed to use a PPC(Portable personal computer) device in my class. You don’t have to come over. Just write the solution in your notebooks and I will check it.

Yang Dao raised his hand. Professor Dew looked over and asked, “Do you have any questions?”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “I have completed the code, you asked for professor.”

Professor Dew raised an eyebrow. She thought this guy was trying to be funny but she was a teacher and patience was her virtue. So she beckoned him over and Yang Dao calmly walked over. He handed her his notebook. The first thing that caught her eyes was the beautiful pin-point text. Then she looked at the code written on the page. She was surprised and then she smiled when she closed the notebook. Yang Dao’s name was written over the cover. She was aware of this genius kid.Â

She nodded but did not return the book to him. She spoke, “This notebook will stay with me for a day. You can have it back tomorrow when the rest of the people are done submitting their work. Also, if I found anyone cheated or asked for your help in this matter. I will have you and that person both thrown out of the class for a whole year. So you should be smart to know what to do.”

Yang Dao nodded was about to go back when he turned and asked the professor, “Ma’am, if I cannot write the codes now in my notebook the would it be alright if I leave the class till tomorrow. I can learn in the library.”

Professor Dew nodded and allowed him to go out. Just as Yang Dao passed Icarus, the other party gave him a thumbs up. Yang Dao slightly shook his head and picked up his bag. Then he walked out of the class.Â
