The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, please keep practicing speaking and correcting your pronunciation outside of class. Only then will you be able to speak fluent English in the future. get out of class dismissed, everyone!"
"Goodbye, Teacher Chen!"
As the students looked on reluctantly, Chen Xuewei left the classroom, twisting her slender waist and beautiful hips. The crisp sound of her high heels tapping on the ground gradually faded away outside the classroom...
After a while, the classroom was bustling again as if a pot of boiling water had begun to boil.
Ye Chen suddenly felt someone patting him. He looked up and saw that it was Li Xiaoguang, the boy sitting in front of him. He had no contact with him in the past. Based on his memory, he only knew that his name was Li Xiaoguang, and other information was very vague.
"Ye Chen, did you stay up all night last night to memorize the text just to make Teacher Chen smile today?" Li Xiaoguang said with a dry laugh.
"Haha, this is my private matter, I have nothing to say!" Ye Chen smiled faintly. He was too lazy to answer such boring questions.
"Stop pretending. Everyone knows what your level is. The early bird catches the worm!" Li Xiaoguang was obviously jealous of Ye Chen's excellent performance in class and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
The physical exercise during recess was about to begin, and Ye Chen no longer wanted to pay attention to Li Xiaoguang. Ye Chen had seen many people like him, and he was too lazy to bother with him. He had a typical "sour grapes" mentality. He didn't study hard himself, but he was jealous when he saw others achieve some results through hard work.
The summer sun is shining brightly, and the breeze brings bursts of freshness from the swaying bamboo forest in the distance, blowing across the vast playground covered with green grass.
The yellow and white tiles of the newly built teaching building were shining, and the powerful trumpets sounded. Teachers from various classes stood in the corridor of the teaching building, looking at the young boys and girls who would not behave themselves even when they lined up on the playground.
"Radio gymnastics, start now, marching in place!"
Ye Chen's arms swayed stiffly to the rhythm. The classes were standing in separate rows, with boys in one row and girls in another. The boys in the same class were next to the girls in the same class. Ye Youyou from Class 2 (5) happened to be standing next to Ye Chen.
Ye Youyou is a cute sixteen-year-old girl with a pair of clever and lovely eyes that turn into two crescents when she smiles. She has a delicate nose and rosy lips, and already has the charm of a little beauty.
She and Ye Chen had been desk mates for more than a year. Both of them were cheerful and sunny types, so after a few semesters, they became good friends who could talk about anything.
Ye Youyou looked at Ye Chen with a smile, her long eyelashes trembling slowly, her blinking eyes filled with an innocent smile, and her face exuding a teasing expression.
"Ye Chen, you were suddenly asked to change classes this semester. It seems that Li Zishan really can't stand you. By the way, are you doing well in Class 2 (6)?"
"Haha, it's okay! Little Leaf, after I left, did you miss me very much?"
Ye Youyou turned around, her face flushed with embarrassment. Why did this guy become so outspoken after changing classes? He used to be very honest and never said such frivolous words.
"Humph! How could I be so reluctant to part with you?"
Ye Youyou was afraid that others would hear her, so she quickly lowered her voice.
The exercises started. The two teams were close to each other and the movements were very strong. Ye Chen's fingers inevitably touched Ye Youyou's small hands. Every time Ye Chen could feel Ye Youyou's shrinking and dodging, and then she lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, however, just pretended not to know and continued to enjoy it as usual. He and Ye Youyou had a very close relationship, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts. They had some physical contact that was a little larger in magnitude, and sometimes they would smile at each other, with eyes filled with sweetness and a slightly sour taste in their heartbeats before parting, but a situation like this would never happen.
"Ye Chen, concentrate on your exercises and don't disturb others."
On the other side, Gu Qing frowned and spoke in a majestic voice. As the class monitor, she had the right to supervise students who did not do exercises seriously. Although she and Ye Chen had just become deskmates, she was always very principled and would never sacrifice public interests for personal ones.
From the very beginning, Ye Chen did not do the exercises properly. His movements were either exaggerated or not in place. He was often half a beat slower than others. Others would finish one section while he was still doing it. Or he would do it too fast. Others would finish five sections while he had finished eight.
Ye Chen was sighing. He was easily distracted by the evil energy in his body. He was just flirting with the pretty girl from the next class and had fallen flat on his face during the radio gymnastics. Who knew what kind of trouble would happen in the future?
After the break, Ye Youyou followed the students of Class 2 (5) and left, while Gu Qing and the physical education committee member were arranging the formation of Class 2 (6) at the back, and Ye Chen followed slowly at the end of the team.
"Ye Chen, wait."
Ye Chen raised his head and saw a charming and beautiful young woman in front of him. She was Li Zishan, the head teacher of Class 2 (5), and also Zhao Kaishun's wife.
She was about thirty years old, with a standard pebble-shaped face and long hair tied into a bun on her head. She was wearing a purple Suzhou embroidered cheongsam. Her breasts, which were particularly plump during breastfeeding, were bulging, and her slightly plump waist was full of flesh, but without any excess fat, which made her even more attractive.
The slit at the bottom of the cheongsam revealed a pair of slender, white legs wearing high-grade flesh-colored transparent glass stockings. She was 168 cm tall and wore red stiletto high heels. Standing on the steps, Ye Chen could only look up at her.
Li Zishan was secretly annoyed. She had a momentary illusion that the way the child looked at her and the expression on his face were very similar to those of her male colleagues at school who secretly drooled over their daughters. Although there was no other obvious meaning, this way of appreciation had already surprised her.
"Ye Chen, where are you looking?" Li Zishan said angrily.
"It's nothing. Teacher Li has recovered well after giving birth, but you still need to exercise regularly, eat more fiber-rich grains, and do more waist-twisting exercises. This will help you maintain your figure. The autumn wind is blowing, and the remaining toxins are still there. The baby should pay attention to detoxification and reduce internal heat. You should put some heat-clearing medicine in the water..."
"Haha, I really didn't realize you know so much!" Li Zishan smiled instead of getting angry. "Why don't you focus on studying? I want to see if changing classes will change anything for you!"
"Don't bother Mr. Li about this." Ye Chen said indifferently. It was this woman who kicked him out of Class 2 (5). Apart from the frustration and shame of being kicked out, Ye Chen felt that he should thank her. If he had not changed classes and continued to play with the noisy, reckless and heartless Ye Youyou, it would be unknown whether his grades would rise like a rocket before the college entrance examination.
"Hmph, who cares about you? I came to you to ask you to stop harassing Ye Youyou. If that kid works harder and makes a sprint, he can still get into a good key university. I heard that you made a bet with Teacher Zhao that you would be in the top three in the class in the final exam. With your negative attitude of not wanting to make progress, I think you should admit defeat to Teacher Zhao in private as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed in front of your classmates!" Li Zishan was finally angered by Ye Chen's attitude. She had never seen a student who disrespected the teacher and ignored the teacher's authority.
"Oh? Teacher Li, since you don't think highly of me, let's make another bet. If I win, you must agree to one of my conditions for free. If I lose, I will stay away from you whenever I see you in the future. How about it?" Ye Chen looked at Li Zishan's charming and attractive plump body, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He said with a smile.
"Hehe, you still want to bet with me? It seems that this time you really won't cry until you see the coffin! Since you are not afraid of losing face, what else should I worry about? Tell me, what are your conditions?" Li Zishan did not notice the lustful and cunning look in Ye Chen's eyes, and immediately agreed confidently!
"If I win, I'm going to..." Ye Chen deliberately dragged out his words, with a malicious smile on his face, and continued, "I'm going to kiss you, Teacher Li!"
"What! This is absolutely impossible! Ye Chen, you are really going too far!" Li Zishan's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha, it seems that Teacher Li has agreed to my bet just now! Do you want all the students in the school to know that you are a villain who goes back on your word and doesn't keep your promise?" Ye Chen looked at Li Zishan's pretty face full of shame and anger, smiled slightly, and casually clasped his hands in front of his chest, with his head tilted high, as if he had her in his grasp!
"This... Ye Chen, you've really gone too far. How can a student tease his teacher like this!" Li Zishan's cheeks seemed to be stained with a layer of rouge-like blush, as red as fire, and her eyes were filled with a strong sense of shame and anger. She was so angry that her voice trembled slightly.
"Although my request is indeed a bit excessive, the prerequisite is that I have to beat you first. Does Teacher Li also think that there is a high possibility that I will be in the top three in the final exam? Hehehe... If that's the case, then wasn't it a bit blind for the teacher to drive me away in the first place?" Ye Chen suddenly put his head close to Li Zishan's ear, smiled mischievously, blew a breath of hot air gently on her fair and slender neck, and then said with a sarcastic look on his face.
"You..." Li Zishan was obviously not used to Ye Chen's teasing. The hot breath from his mouth immediately dyed her snow-white neck red. She didn't expect that Ye Chen, who had always been as quiet as a virgin, would be so bold today. He dared to tease her again and again. Facing the aggressive Ye Chen, she quickly took a big step back to avoid Ye Chen's entanglement. Feeling ashamed and angry, she blurted out:
"Alright! Since you're so confident, I promise you! If you don't make the top three in the class, I'll definitely publicize your past misdeeds to the entire school, making sure you can never gain a foothold in Huahai City No. 1 Middle School again!"
"Haha, Teacher Li, please don't worry: for your kiss, I will definitely be in the top three in the class!!!"
"Then we'll just have to wait and see!" Li Zishan snorted coldly, glared at Ye Chen fiercely, turned around and left angrily.
Ye Chen looked at Li Zishan's sexy and charming back with a calm expression as it gradually disappeared from his sight, but he was very happy in his heart. He secretly planned that when he entered the top three in the class, he would kiss Li Zishan enough, settle the hatred between him, Li Zishan and Zhao Kaishun, and take revenge on the hateful couple.
When I went from being a top student to a poor student, my family was concerned about me. However, I calmly replied that I would try my best to be admitted to Huahai University in the college entrance examination. After that, my family never worried about my studies again.
I was smart to begin with, and now with the infusion of the Silver Spirit Divine Art into my body, my memory has reached the point where I can remember everything I see, so academic performance is no longer a problem.
Ye Chen met Jiang Xiaoyu on the way back to the classroom, and the two walked together.
Jiang Xiaoyu seemed particularly excited today, and kept talking about Ye Chen's wonderful performance in English class all the way.
"Oh, Xiao Linzi, the power of love is really great. After you and Gu Qing sat together, you became the most popular in English class and even got praise from our beautiful teacher. Now even I can't help but admire you!" Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled dryly.
"What power of love? What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Chen smiled and pretended not to know.
"Gu Qing! You must be interested in her. There's nothing to be afraid of admitting. She's so beautiful. There are so many boys in our school who like Gu Qing that they can fill a truck, and that's not counting those who come from outside the school because of her reputation!" Jiang Xiaoyu grinned.
"Okay, you are such a gossipmonger!" Ye Chen patted his broad shoulders. Jiang Xiaoyu was known as the "Gossip King" in the class. Whenever a girl said a few more words to a boy in the class, he would spread rumors behind their backs that the two must be having an affair.
As soon as he walked into the classroom, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes fixed on him. He quietly tugged at Ye Chen's clothes and whispered, "Xiao Linzi, someone has taken your seat. Is he trying to steal your love?"
Ye Chen looked up. Isn't it? An unexpected guest has arrived!
I saw a boy wearing glasses sitting in the seat that originally belonged to him in the last row of the classroom. He was handsome, with a casual manner, and was wearing a black casual suit. He had the temperament of a young master from a wealthy family.
"Ah?! It's Zheng Yuanda from Class 2 (3), ranked fifth on the campus' 'Handsome Men List', known as the 'Flower-Cherishing Young Master'. You've hit a wall this time!" Jiang Xiaoyu immediately recognized the identity of the uninvited guest and couldn't help but whisper a reminder to Ye Chen.
Zheng Yuanda is the son of Zheng Tianxiao, chairman of the Zheng Film Company. He has lived in privileged conditions since childhood. He is rich and handsome. He is quite influential in the aristocratic circle of Huahai City's No. 1 Private Middle School. He is the prince charming in the hearts of many girls and has countless secret admirers. He usually has a group of younger brothers following him. Zheng Yuanda's academic performance is also outstanding. He has always been at the top of the class two (three) and has never fallen out of the top five in every major exam.
Ye Chen walked slowly towards his seat, his face calm as water, his eyes flashing, and he began to recall information about Zheng Yuanda.
Zheng Yuanda had developed a crush on Gu Qing since he met her a year ago, and confessed his love to her on the spot, but Gu Qing rejected him outright, saying, "I won't consider dating during the three years of high school!"
Zheng Yuanda did not give up. From then on, whenever he had time, he would go to Gu Qing's class. He used the excuse of exchanging ideas and learning to get close to her and please her. He even hired a few spies in Class 2 (6) and asked them to report to him regularly about things related to Gu Qing!
At this time, Zheng Yuanda was discussing the solution to a math problem with Gu Qing. In fact, he was the one who came to ask on his own initiative this time, and all these were just excuses.
There are plenty of math experts in the entire grade, and the grades of each class in the second year of high school are similar. If you really can't do it, you can ask the teacher?
But he chose to ask Gu Qing, who was in a different class from him, for advice. Even a fool would know that this was clearly a case of "the drunkard's intention was not to ask for advice"!
Gu Qing was very smart, how could she not know Zheng Yuanda's true intention? But he didn't say anything else, he just came to ask questions. If she refused directly, it would seem too unkind, so she had to answer patiently. However, her pretty face remained indifferent.
Facing Zheng Yuanda's burning gaze and the strange looks from the surrounding classmates, Gu Qing's elegant and delicate face couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. She was secretly worried: "Where on earth did Ye Chen go? If he had come a little earlier, Zheng Yuanda would have left. This is his position!"
While she was explaining the problem nonchalantly, she kept an eye on the classroom door out of the corner of her eye.
When Ye Chen appeared there, Gu Qing's beautiful eyes lit up involuntarily, and she was secretly happy in her heart: "Oh, he's finally back! I should be free!"
Ye Chen went over Zheng Yuanda's information in his head, then walked up to him and said with a smile, "Classmate, this is my seat. Could you please give up your seat?"
Zheng Yuanda raised his head, looked at Ye Chen twice, and said in surprise: "Oh? What should I call you?" Zheng Yuanda was still sitting there, with no intention of standing up.
"Ye Chen!"
"Haha, you are Ye Chen!" Zheng Yuanda showed a faint sarcastic smile when he heard this.
He had heard of the name Ye Chen a long time ago. He was ranked second on the "Handsome Men List", but he had never seen him in person. He heard that apart from his good looks, he had nothing outstanding. His academic performance was terrible and his family conditions did not seem to be very wealthy. Not long after the second semester of his sophomore year started, he was kicked out by the homeroom teacher and was later arranged to sit at the same table with Gu Qing.
How can such a poor student sit at the same table with Gu Qing?
What on earth was Zhao Kaishun thinking?
Ye Chen heard the disdain in the other person's tone, but still said calmly: "This is my seat, please make way!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I still have a question that I haven't asked classmate Gu Qing!" Zheng Yuanda felt that Ye Chen posed no threat to him at all. Whether in family background or academic performance, Ye Chen was far inferior to him. They were simply not comparable!
Therefore, his tone of voice also became stronger, implying: "We good students are discussing problems together, and you, a poor student, are asking for trouble by coming here?"
"Whatever question you ask, I can answer it. Could you please leave my seat first?" Ye Chenfeng said indifferently.
At this time, the students' eyes in the classroom were all focused on Ye Chen and Zheng Yuanda. It seemed that the two men were in a confrontation. Although everyone had a mediocre impression of Ye Chen, he was from their class after all, and Zheng Yuanda, a boy from Class 2 (3), used the break time to blatantly run to Class 2 (6) to pursue the class beauty. Psychologically speaking, everyone still stood on Ye Chen's side. After all, "good things should not be given to outsiders"!
"Did I hear you right? You said you can solve it?" Zheng Yuanda's face turned even more sarcastic, and he smiled faintly, "Okay, if you can solve this problem, I'll leave immediately!"
"Let me see the question!" Ye Chen's eyes became determined.
"Look, this is the question!" Zheng Yuanda was really rude. He picked up a book of high school entrance examination papers and pointed to a geometry question on it and asked.
On the surface, both of them seemed calm and there was no tension in the air. To outsiders, it looked like they were just discussing a problem with classmates.
Ye Chen's eyes immediately fell on the question. To be honest, he was good at mathematics before. Even though it has been a long time since he started learning mathematics, he should be able to solve this geometry problem which is only of medium to high difficulty easily.
But today, Zheng Yuanda had to ask Gu Qing this kind of question. What did he mean? Was he playing the pig and eating the tiger?
Ye Chen showed a sneer of disdain on his face, staring at the geometry problem, his brain spinning rapidly, and in less than three minutes, he found five ways to solve the problem.
