Chapter 105: Thirty Slaps

  In the primary and secondary school era, lovely national flower buds would use this inferior worry川style when writing. For example, at the beginning of an article, they would come up with a sentence like "With the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, the spring breeze of reform and opening-up blew across the land of China"; for instance, upon seeing the five-star red flag, they would think that it was dyed with the blood of countless martyrs; again, when describing quietness, they would say "it's so quiet that even if a needle drops to the ground, you can hear the sound" and so on.

  In this sudden quiet of the third class classroom, not to mention a needle, even if a hair fell off, you could hear the low hum of the hair follicle separating from the scalp. Silence, absolute silence, no one dared to believe the name they heard in their ears, time seemed to freeze at this moment, everyone maintained their posture unchanged, the child who had just laughed with his mouth open, closed it after a while, and swallowed hard.

  Ye Yuting was very satisfied with the shocking effect of this name, and when the results came out, she was also in a state of disarray in the office, almost knocking over her teacup, laughing: "Please give everyone a round of applause to congratulate Wen Chuan on his leapfrog progress!"

  Everyone heard clearly, and their eyes stared at Wen Qing's face. Wen Qing had a calm expression, no surprise or joy, as if he already knew the answer. After a brief pause, he looked at Li Yang again. From the moment Ye Yuting entered the door, Li Yang, who was full of confidence, completely lost his composure, although not to the point of sweating profusely, but his face was also unsightly.

  Under the gaze of so many eyes, he jumped up and shouted: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible! Teacher Ye, Wen Qian cheated!" Ye Yuting looked at Li Yang with a strange expression, her face turned serious, and asked: "Hmm, do you have any evidence? If she really cheated, I will apply to the school for severe punishment."

  "This, this... although I have no evidence. Such a remarkable achievement, it's impossible to progress so quickly, unless there's some trickery involved!"

  "Ah!"

  Ye Yuting slammed her hand heavily on the table, startling everyone. "Li Yang, classmate," she said angrily, "I don't want to hear such irresponsible words in Class 3 again."

  "If you have evidence, bring it out. If not, don't randomly slander other classmates. Do you know how much harm your simple words can cause to those who are working hard and striving for excellence?"

  Although Ye Yuting is beautiful and gentle, she is not a good teacher without principles. She manages the class with ease, rewarding and punishing clearly. Neither pedantic nor radical, she has a lot of experience at a young age, managing the third class in an orderly manner. Classmates respect and fear her, love and dread her. But it was the first time they saw her scolding a classmate so severely, everyone was scared to breathe, secretly cursing Li Yang for causing trouble and making Ye teacher unhappy.

  Li Yang opened his mouth but couldn't say anything to refute, and sat down with a dejected look. Ye Yuting's expression softened slightly, looking at the crowd below who were as silent as cicadas in winter, smiled and said: "I know there may still be classmates who have questions, so let me read out the scores first and everyone will understand. Wen Chen, Chinese 1st, Mathematics 1st, Physics 4th, Chemistry 9th, Politics 17th, History 18th. Except for Politics and History being slightly lower in ranking, Chinese, Mathematics and Physics are all tied for first place in the year level, English is second, and Chemistry is within the top ten."

  The classroom erupted in a burst of exclamations, no one had expected that there would be two perfect scores, and the scores in Chinese and English were almost as high as they could get. This was the first year of high school, with each subject scored out of four points, but from the second year on, it would all be converted to a hundred-point system in preparation for the college entrance exams.

  Li Yang's face turned even paler, his hands tightly grasping the hem of his pants, his head hung low, filled with grief and indignation.

  "There are not many people who have better grades than him in individual subjects, but it's rare to see someone with such balanced scores. Take Zhang Tianqi for example, his politics, history and chemistry scores are all higher than Wen Qian's by several points. Yet, his total score is lower than Wen Qian's, which shows that not being biased towards a particular subject is an important factor in achieving good grades. More importantly, I, along with all the subject teachers, firmly believe that this is Wen Qian's true level. The last question on the math exam was beyond the scope of the first year curriculum due to the examiner's oversight. Only three people in the entire grade were able to solve it, and apart from Ji Xiaoling and Cheng Haijun, the third person was Wen Qian!"

  Xiao Ling was the top scorer in the high school entrance exam and had already made a name for herself. Cheng Haijun, known as the "Math Prince" and "Eternal Second Place", dominated the middle school campus with his dual identity. At this time, he also gained some fame. It's only natural that these two would come up with difficult questions, but what everyone couldn't understand was how Wen Ze managed to do it?

  Is he just relying on being late and leaving early, fighting, flirting with girls, chatting, farting, sleeping, and bragging?

  With Wen Qian's jade-like presence in front, no one was interested in anyone else's achievements. Most people were waiting for the afternoon school dismissal to see a good show. Would Li Yang regret it? What if he did? Would Wen Qian take action? How would that turn out? It was truly a thrilling and suspenseful situation.

  The next few classes almost became Wen Qian's personal show, with each teacher praising him and urging everyone to learn from him. Si Ya Jing was okay, just saying that Wen Qian had made great progress and should continue to work hard. After running into Pan Guifei at the Postal School's family dormitory that evening, Si Ya Jing seemed to be deliberately avoiding Wen Qian, and the two rarely had the opportunity to talk alone at school.

  The most exaggerated is the language teacher, two months into the new semester and still doesn't know who Wen Can is. He specifically called out his name to make him stand up and admire for half a day, finally saying: "I thought you were a girl, your writing is elegant and refined, not losing its heroic spirit, if I hadn't added an extra character, this time the only full score would be yours."

  Wen Cang raised an eyebrow at the black line, was that a heroic and unrestrained atmosphere, with flying words? As for typos, it's a small matter. As someone who has spent ten years on the keyboard, not giving you a whole row of fire characters is already giving face! The school bell finally rang, and as the language teacher walked out the door, all the boys and girls around looked over here, dozens of eyes staring at him, as if they could see through countless holes. Wen Cang walked up to Li Yang's side and said calmly: "Thirty-seven points higher, considering we're classmates, I won't take the change. Thirty slaps, start now."

  Li Yang remained silent, his head hung low. His body was trembling, it was unclear whether he was scared or angry. Wen Jian sneered coldly: "What, thinking of welching on the deal again? Originally intended to suppress his arrogance, after all, he's just a child. If I really slapped him thirty times in front of so many people, those with poor mental quality might even jump off a building."

  "Go to hell, what's it to you?"

  Li Yang's anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and evil intentions emerged from the edge of his gallbladder. He grabbed a pen from the table and stabbed it at Wen Qian's left cheek, causing a burst of screams around him.

  The pen tip looks short but is actually very scary, and if you're not careful, it can stab vital parts and be fatal. Wen Rou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her left hand flashed lightning-fast to grab his wrist, her fingers applying force, Li Yang cried out in pain as the pen fell to the ground. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes at the same time, and she slapped him hard with her hand.

  Light.

  "I told you to let me go, but it's better if you come yourself, how about it?"

  Li Yang covered half of his swollen face. Tears of pain welled up in his eyes. Zhang Tianqi, as the class monitor, couldn't afford to lose face at this moment. He walked over and cleared his throat, saying: "Give me some face."

  Looking at him with a cold and calm gaze, Zhang Tianqi immediately said: "Don't bother giving me face. Someone has already gone to find the teacher just now, you guys handle it."

  As soon as he heard someone report the teacher, Li Yang immediately shouted: "You wait, dare to hit people? Teacher Ye is here, you're in trouble!"

  It's great!

  Another slap landed on his left cheek, Wen Ze grabbed the stool and slammed it to the ground, picked up a leg as thick as an arm, and said calmly: "Want another?"

  "You, you, you"

  Li Yang was thoroughly frightened, his legs trembling non-stop. The surrounding classmates saw that things were going to get out of hand and immediately gathered around, offering words of mediation from all sides. Wen Ze still maintained a calm expression,

  Ji Su separated from the crowd and walked in, pulling on Wen Qian's clothes and pleading: "Don't do this, it will hurt people and won't be good for you."

  "Let go!"

  Ji Su was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't withstand Wen Qian's icy gaze. He let go and retreated several steps, but his face still showed anxiety. Li Yang was finally afraid, and even Ji Su's intervention didn't work. He shouted: "Fine, fine, I'll admit defeat! I'll draw, I'll draw!"

  Li Yang provoked in the front, regretted in the back, and now yielded to the opponent's mighty power, completely losing face for all men. Everyone sneered at him, expressing contempt.

  Throw away the wooden leg, the face of the thousand-year-old iceberg melted instantly, and smiled: "It's good to admit it, note down the slap in the ear first, and make mistakes again in the future. Let's settle new and old accounts together! What do you think? Is this okay?"

  Ren Yi shouted "good" loudly, leading the applause. Others also thought that Wen Jie was reasonable and handled the matter well. Moreover, Li Yang had scolded people first and hit them later, so it wasn't excessive for Wen Jie to slap him twice. Suddenly everyone applauded. A few young girls blinked their eyes, looking at Wen Jie as if they saw the one in their dreams.

  Bad guys are always 100% fascinating to girls who fantasize about love!

  People always discover the preciousness of possession when they lose more, Li Yang was overjoyed and hastily nodded in agreement with Wen Qian's proposal. By the time Ye Yuting rushed over, the classroom had already dispersed without a trace, leaving only Wen Qian sitting in her seat, smiling at her.

  "Hmm, so you're saying the fight didn't happen at all, or have you already taken care of everything?"

  Ye Yuting sat across from him, the fragrance on her body entering his nostrils, and he took a deep breath, sighing: "Nothing's wrong, Teacher Ye, you can rest assured. I'm a good student, won't cause you any trouble."

  Although she knew he was lying, Ye Yuting didn't want to pursue the matter further and smiled: "Wen Cheng, you really didn't cheat?".

  "Of course, Liu Zhihe is right next to me, and I might as well copy his homework too."

  "Hmm, you don't know, Liu Zhihe's grades may not be as good as yours, but this time he also did quite well and got into the top 20 in the class. This is quite suspicious!"

  You secretly despise me, Peng's entire thing was copied by you, and only the top 20 in the class were copied. Intelligence quotient, it's absolutely an intelligence quotient problem!

  Ye Yuting saw the strange look on his face, and suddenly pinched his ear and whispered: "Didn't you let Zuo Yuxi get this test paper, and then do a copy in advance?"

  Wide-eyed and tongue-tied, he gave a thumbs up and said, "You're still the best, teacher! I didn't think of that idea. Thanks, I'll do it this way next time!"
