The seasoned pro’s recitation efficiency has reached an unprecedented height. He remembers all the words that can be associated with Xing Yeze by heart, and the words that can’t be associated with Xing Yeze are easy to remember because the number is less than half.
Successfully avoided the penalty of copying.
Having tasted success, the seasoned pro naturally took this effective method and technique to the next level, applying it to every subject that required memorization.
Therefore, Xing Yeze would hear his name from time to time:
“Basic coefficient 18.8, Xing Yeze’s height seems to be 188…”
“The volume fraction of nitrogen in the air is about 78%, 78…78…Xing Yeze should have 8 abdominal muscles.”
“…” Xing Yeze’s mood is very difficult to describe.
In fact, the seasoned pro was completely engrossed in memorization and couldn’t pull himself away—there was no intention of flirting. After all, students who get into the No. 1 High School are all academically strong, and they do have the ability to focus on studying.
But compared to the teasing and even bold seduction of others, Liang Huan was the only one who had a little influence on Xing Yeze.
One day after school, the Five Swordsmen went to the cafeteria together as usual. They walked out with a mighty momentum with the strength of five people. The students passing by unconsciously stepped aside to make way and admired the style of the school tyrant.
Omega: Boss Huan, we started to practice sit-ups. We have to learn from you in waist strength and stamina!
Alpha: Did Boss Huan give up on the top student today?
Beta: Boss Huan and the top student are really a good match. Their silhouettes together are simply pleasing to the eye. The sweet moments in the legendary duo thread are just too good!
“Boss Huan, did you say something wild again during that self-study session?” Xiao Budian asked Liang Huan. “The one where we got punished with extra homework.”
Liang Huan thought for a moment and said, “I asked Xing Yeze what his pheromones smelled like.”
“That’s it?”
“Yeah. Is there a problem?”
“Maybe I saw wrong, but I could’ve sworn I saw the top student blush, though plenty of people have asked him about the scent of his pheromones before and he never reacted.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I asked this question when I gave the top student a watch, but he didn’t even move his eyebrows and said to me expressionlessly, ‘Thank you, I don’t need it’.”
Recalling the past of a broken heart, Da Pang reached out and wiped away the non-existent tears.
Xiao Yanjing also followed up with a sentence:
“The top student is so aloof and abstinent. The fierce words of waist strength and stamina that Boss Huan expressed on the day of his confession did not make him blush, let alone asking what his pheromone smells like.”
“Boss Huan, think about it again. Did you say anything special?” Xiao Budian blinked, and her gossip soul was burning.
I really want to post some good news!
Liang Huan: “No.”
He was busy reciting words in that self-study session and had no energy to tease Xing Yeze.
“Then I must have been seeing things,” Xiao Budian said, not entirely sure. After all, the flush on Xing Yeze’s face had disappeared in an instant, and hearing Liang Huan’s confident tone, she decided not to dwell on it.
So, this matter was immediately thrown behind the Five Swordsmen.
***
When the class was about to start in the afternoon, Ye Huang brought the youth to the legendary duo class, “Children, be quiet, welcome your new classmate.”
“Hiss——” The classmates took a breath of cold air and reacted violently.
It wasn’t just because transferring into the No. 1 High School mid-term meant his family was undeniably well-off—it was also because the boy bore a slight resemblance to Xing Yeze.
“Is this the younger or older brother of the top student?!” someone exclaimed.
Liang Huan couldn’t help but look at Lin Mingrui.
Isn’t this the boy they mistook for the last time they watched a movie? He actually transferred to No. 1 High School and is in their class?
Isn’t it too coincidental?
Thinking of this, Liang Huan and Lin Mingrui both looked at Xing Yeze.
Xing Yeze raised his eyes to look at the new classmate, then lowered his head to continue doing the questions. His expression did not change at all, and his reaction was exactly the same as the last time a new classmate transferred to the class.
Uh… Maybe it’s just a coincidence.
Liang Huan and Lin Mingrui communicated with their eyes.
As for appearances, the way people see themselves and the way others see them can feel quite different. Perhaps, in Xing Yeze’s eyes, the boy doesn’t actually look like him.
“Everyone, stop guessing. Our new classmate is from H City. We asked him, and he doesn’t know our top student.”
Ye Huang knew that the kids would misunderstand. After all, when he first saw the boy, he also asked the boy if he was related to Xing Yeze.
“Oh, I almost forgot something very important! Your new classmate is also a top student! Let’s give him a warm applause to welcome him. Maybe in the future we will be the ‘Triple Legends’ class!”
“Welcome, welcome…” The applause was so enthusiastic that it seemed ready to blow the roof off. The boy was sincerely welcomed by his classmates, especially the Omegas and Betas.
The Omegas and Betas were whispering excitedly, sighing that the boy was also a top-tier Alpha, and they had another campus heartthrob.
“Hello, everyone! My name is Si Xuanhe—‘Si’ as in ‘so common it’s seen everywhere,’ ‘Xuan’ as in blazing fire, and ‘He’ as in double scarlet.”
The youth looked very sunny and cheerful. When he introduced himself, he showed eight neat and white teeth, and his smile was almost blinding the eyes of the Omegas and Betas.
“Let me see where you can sit.” Ye Huang looked around the class and was in a dilemma for a moment.
There were still empty seats, but Si Xuanhe was very tall and was afraid that he would block the view of the students behind him. Besides Liang Huan, the students in the last row were also very tall, so it would not be suitable for anyone to sit in the front.
“How about I sit there?” Si Xuanhe pointed to the seat in front of Xing Yeze, “That student is a few centimeters taller than me.”
Xing Yeze’s hand holding the pen paused slightly.
Ye Huang thought about it and felt that it was quite suitable, so he asked Xing Yeze’s front deskmate to move to the empty seat and let Si Xuanhe sit there.
“Hi!” Si Xuanhe turned around and greeted Liang Huan, half-jokingly and half-seriously, “We are really destined to meet. It turns out that the five of you are classmates.”
He waved to Lin Mingrui and Xiao Budian, respectively.
At this time, Xiao Budian was so excited that she almost fainted. “My heartthrob, you didn’t tell me in advance that you transferred to my school. Didn’t I tell you that I was from No. 1 High School?”
She scolded and glanced at Si Xuanhe with a scheming look, just like a real green tea.
“I wanted to give you guys a surprise.” Si Xuanhe was handsome and sweet and coaxed Xiao Budian’s bones to soften, and even Xiao Yanjing lowered their heads shyly.
He said ‘you guys’, which also included me, hehe…
It is undeniable that Si Xuanhe is very good at getting along with people. In just one afternoon, he got familiar with most of the classmates. Omegas and Betas wanted to be around him all the time.
Happiness came too suddenly! Not long after the top student was stamped and claimed by Boss Huan, the second campus heartthrob came!
Not only that, but the new heartthrob is also not cold at all. Everyone can get close to him, making them feel that if they work harder, they may be able to snatch this top-tier Alpha!
“Tell me, Xiao Budian, how did you get to know Xuanhe?” On the way to the computer room for their last period, someone couldn’t wait any longer and pressed Xiaodidian for details.
“A few days ago, Boss Huan took us to Wanqin Shopping Center to watch a movie. We mistook him for the top student, and that’s how we got to know each other.”
Wanqin Shopping Center…Okay, let’s go there every weekend in the future!
Someone secretly made up their mind.
“What a coincidence, Xuanhe and the top student look alike, especially from the side.”
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten that Boss Huan didn’t mistake Xuanhe back then,” Xiao Budian recalled. “Boss Huan truly has sharp eyes! He took just one look and confidently said Xuanhe wasn’t the top student—unlike the four of us, who all got it wrong!”
At that moment, Xing Yeze was walking alone at the back, deep in thought. Upon hearing Xiao Budian’s words, an unreadable flicker flashed through his eyes.
The seating arrangement for computer class was the same as other classes. Liang Huan was still Xing Yeze’s deskmate, and Xing Yeze’s front deskmate was still Si Xuanhe.
Si Xuanhe was notably more enthusiastic towards Liang Huan than his deskmate, although it’s unclear if they had previously known each other. After submitting his classwork, he turned around and said, “Hey, Boss Huan, want to play PUBG?”
He called out ‘Boss Huan’ so effortlessly, like it was second nature.
Xing Yeze stared at the computer screen and frowned slightly.
Liang Huan was very satisfied with Si Xuanhe’s smooth approach, but…
“The computers in our school can’t access the Internet. At most, we can log in to QQ to chat or play Minesweeper, but we can’t play online games at all.”
“No big deal, I’ll write a program.” Si Xuan He said and turned around and typed the code on the keyboard smoothly. A few minutes later, the firewall of his computer was cracked.
Then, he sent the program to Liang Huan. As the Boss, Liang Huan certainly would not enjoy the benefits alone and immediately sent them to his loyal followers.
The students in the legendary duo class secretly downloaded the game. The computer teacher on the podium, who planned to check the homework in the evening, was chatting happily with the blind date——
[I fell in love with you at first sight. I like strong Betas like you. Cute and soft Omegas and Betas are too unremarkable. You are very special and attractive.]
[Haha, thank you! Let’s watch a movie together tonight?] The blind date seemed to be very satisfied with the teacher and took the initiative to invite him.
[Okay, I will buy the tickets right away.]
Homework and other things—just finish checking before the next computer class.
Here, the computer teacher had no time to supervise the students, and there, the students had already logged into the game, and each of them admired Si Xuanhe with all their hearts, and the words of praise were like a torrent of water that could not be stopped.
“A top student!”
“A genius!”
Si Xuanhe thanked them politely, and then asked casually: “Has there never been a student in our class who cracked the firewall before? I heard from the teacher that there is another top student in our class, but he can’t do it?”
This sentence was like a thunderclap in the sky, and the classmates looked at each other in surprise.
Xing Yeze’s eyes finally moved away from the computer screen and met Si Xuanhe’s meaningful eyes, with dark currents surging in his deep and sharp eyes.
He thought of when he was very young; he thought that if he surpassed Si Xuanhe in everything, he would get his mother’s attention and love, but he found that everything was in vain.
At that time, Si Xuanhe was nestled in his mother’s arms, looking down at him from above as she said:
“You weren’t born from me at all!”
