CHAPTER 783: CHAPTER 329: HER PUNISHMENT IS SIMPLY PERFECT!

"Alright, I’ll ask you five questions, but you must answer each one honestly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong felt a bit disappointed, but still nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Zhou and Zhang Xiaowan found this punishment a bit odd as well, but since they’d never played this with Zhang Jingdong before, they were curious.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong said seriously: "The first question, as adults, our learning styles generally fall into two categories: learning with an opposite-gender teacher, and self-learning."

"So, Liu Hong, do you know how to self-learn?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Zhou and Zhang Xiaowan, already having taken Zhang Jingdong’s course, understood immediately.

Lin Jie and the others were initially a little confused, but quickly realized what Zhang Jingdong meant, their previously slightly embarrassed faces turning even redder.

Liu Hong’s face was especially red.

Earlier, seeing Zhang Jingdong’s serious expression, she assumed he’d ask basic personal questions, maybe at most about how many boyfriends she’d had.

However, he started with this rather private question!

The problem was, she wouldn’t mind if she hadn’t done it, just denying it and playfully calling him annoying would have sufficed.

But... she had indeed learned it.

Now it was really difficult!

Honestly, although everyone here was her close friend, she’d never discussed this topic with them, and if she confessed, they’d certainly tease her, making her embarrassed.

But if she didn’t tell the truth, Zhang Jingdong would probably notice, and her score in his mind would drastically drop, and he might not tease her anymore.

If the teasing wasn’t intense enough, he probably wouldn’t flirt with her eventually.

She might completely lose the chance to become his romantic interest.

Thinking this, she mustered her courage, feeling both shy and a bit playful: "You... your question is too tough, but... okay, I’ll be honest, I... I can."

As soon as she spoke, Zhou Zhou and others immediately showed understanding smiles.

Sun Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but say, "I guessed it when I visited your dorm and knocked for ages, and then you opened the door hurriedly. I assumed you’d found a boyfriend, searched everywhere but didn’t find any man beneath the bed."

"Oh dear, Hong, you were learning by yourself then!"

Liu Hong shot her a look: "Please... can’t you self-learn?"

Sun Xiaoxiao laughed: "Actually, I can’t, and I don’t want to self-learn either. Now with Boss Zhang, I plan to learn together with him!"

Zhang Jingdong smirked: "Xiaoxiao, you shouldn’t say that. Each learning style has its advantages."

"The advantage of learning with a teacher is the ability to quickly learn many topics while enhancing relations with the teacher, whereas self-learning allows you to focus on your interests, making learning more enjoyable and boosting your enthusiasm."

"To be an outstanding student, it’s best to master both styles, proceeding with constant growth and improvement to achieve excellent results."

Sun Xiaoxiao, enlightened by Zhang Jingdong’s explanation, nodded appreciatively: "I understand, Boss Zhang, rest assured, I’ll certainly learn well with Hong!"

Then she turned to hold Liu Hong’s hand: "Hong, you must generously share your wisdom then!"

Liu Hong blushed entirely: "I... I definitely cannot teach you, you’ll just have to explore on your own!"

Zhang Jingdong laughed: "Xiaoxiao, Hong’s words have revealed the essence of self-learning. If you grasp this, you’ll fully master self-learning too!"

Sun Xiaoxiao paused, then thoughtfully nodded: "Alright, I’ll meditate on it."

Zhang Jingdong shifted towards Li Yue to ease Liu Hong’s embarrassment: "Li Yue, you should know how to self-learn, right?"

Li Yue understood immediately after exchanging glances with Zhang Jingdong, acknowledging his intent, and she occasionally self-learned herself.

She felt some shame but directly nodded: "...Yes."

Sun Xiaoxiao was more surprised: "What!? You too! How did I not know this?"

Li Yue, not shy to her, straightforwardly replied: "It’s something every adult does, alright? You keep treating yourself like a child!"

"I..." Sun Xiaoxiao pouted: "I don’t care, you must teach me!"

"I’ll teach you after you learn from Boss Zhang first."

"Why?"

"Why do you think? You don’t have any learning experience yet, so Boss Zhang needs to personally enlighten you! Plus, you being that way would earn extra points from Boss Zhang!"

Sun Xiaoxiao initially paused, then quickly comprehended, blushing like a ripe apple: "...Alright."

Through their interruption, Liu Hong noticeably relaxed a lot, her mind free from apprehension.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingdong continued saying, "Alright, Hong, let’s proceed. Second question, apart from learning itself, the learning environment greatly affects our learning outcomes, so..."
