Chapter 61: The Extinct Genius

  "Hey, do you guys know what's wrong with Chen Pengpeng? Why did he bury his head as soon as he came back?"

  A very gossipy girl asked her female classmate next to her.

  "How would I know? I'm not his shadow, who am I supposed to ask?"

  The female classmate gave that gossip girl a white eye, meaning you really look like an idiot.

  "Knock knock..."

  A sudden rapid footsteps sounded outside the corridor of the classroom. Soon, an old man entered the classroom of Class 16, who was Yang teacher, the math teacher of Class 16, and also the one who had just met Jian Ruo on his way here.

  Teacher Yang's first glance as he entered the classroom was at Chen Pengpeng's seat. It would have been better if he hadn't looked, but now that he had, Teacher Yang was so angry that even his mustache stood on end. His heart had just been racing with excitement a moment ago! Now, seeing this situation, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom of an abyss.

  "Hmph! You're all preparing for the college entrance exam, but some of you are still so stubborn. I may not be able to control what you do, but this exam is a turning point for your future work, and it's extremely important as a threshold! Fine, do whatever you want! Now, I'll write three questions similar to those on the college entrance exam on the blackboard, and soon I'll pick someone to come up and solve them!"

  Mr. Yang finished speaking and turned around, his right hand holding a piece of chalk to write three math problems on the blackboard. The students below heard that they would be randomly selected to go up and do them, so they all took out their draft paper and started calculating seriously on the platform. They knew that this old teacher in front of them was formidable, and any student who was randomly selected to go up and do the problems but couldn't solve them would receive a long lecture from him until they were exhausted! In this class, only Chen Pengpeng, a weirdo, could withstand such torture, and it's unknown how he managed to do so.

  "Chen Pengpeng, you come up and do the first question!"

  Mr. Yang remembered what Ruo said to him and still called out this name. Originally, Mr. Yang would not have called out "Chen Peng", because as soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Chen Peng sleeping, just like before. As soon as Mr. Yang saw this scene, he felt a wave of anger in his heart.

  "Good friends!"

  Mr. Yang, seeing that he didn't respond the first time, raised his voice and called out again. The classmates in the class were all sweating for Chen Pengpeng, they all knew that Chen Pengpeng was not afraid of this nagging teacher's big truth, but he also had a title called "Eraser King". This title came from the fact that whenever someone was called to answer during class, if they didn't respond, they would be hit by the blackboard eraser thrown by him, and his throws were always accurate.

  "Is he asleep or what?"

  "I don't know either, he seemed to be like this when he came back."

  "I hope he gets up quickly, otherwise he will definitely be hit in a moment!"

  ......

  Rumors were circulating throughout the classroom. Everyone wanted to know what had happened to Chen Peng, but in fact they just wanted to gossip. Now the whole Zhugeng High School was talking about Chen Peng, this amazing person. As long as there was any new news about him, they wouldn't miss it.

  "Xiao Peng, what's wrong with you? I'm always by your side, aren't I? What's going on that you can't tell me about? Are you putting pressure on yourself like this? Come on, get up and be strong! You're not usually so weak, are you?"

  Zhou Xiaofeng whispered to Chen Pengpeng behind him, knowing that Chen Pengpeng could hear what he said. He didn't want to see Chen Pengpeng like this, because his appearance also made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

  Rustling

  Mr. Yang, standing on the podium, looked extremely angry. He picked up the blackboard eraser and threw it in Chen Peng's direction. Everyone who saw where the eraser was flying looked wide-eyed, and some girls couldn't bear to look anymore because they didn't want to see Chen Peng being hit.

  Bang!

  Suddenly, Chen Peng slapped one hand on the table and caught the blackboard eraser that Teacher Yang had thrown down. His eyes glared at Teacher Yang with a slightly evil expression. This move also scared Teacher Yang so much that he almost fell to the ground. The surrounding classmates were also watching the situation nervously. Everyone's breathing was very quiet, afraid of causing trouble.

  "Old man, I'm in a bad mood today. Please don't throw things at me randomly from now on, I won't hit an old man! Just now my brother's words made me feel much better! So today I'm willing to go up and do your homework."

  Tian Peng's eyes were cold and unapproachable. Perhaps it was because of Wei Linlin that he no longer had the joking demeanor of before, replaced by an aura that made people feel like they couldn't get close to him.

  "Is it just these three questions? I can handle them myself, no need for anyone else to come up, I'm afraid there won't be enough space for me to write."

  Chen Pengpeng finished speaking and took out a piece of chalk from the chalk box, starting to write rapidly. As he wrote, he recalled everything he had read in his math textbook when he got home. Slowly but surely, Chen Pengpeng filled up the entire blackboard with his writing, only stopping when he ran out of space. His classmates were stunned, wondering what kind of problem this was. Zhou Xiaofeng's mouth was agape as he looked at Chen Pengpeng's answers. Yang Lao, who had been teaching math for many years, was thrilled to see such an exceptional student. For the first time in twenty minutes, a student had completed two extremely difficult high school math problems, using five different methods for each problem, and getting every single answer correct. We can imagine how Yang Lao must have felt at that moment.

  Mr. Yang stared at the dense mathematical formulas on the blackboard, his mouth trembling with excitement. Then he grasped Chen Peng's hand tightly, looking at him as if worried that Chen Peng would run away. No matter how hard Chen Peng tried to shake him off, he couldn't budge. Who knew this old man was so strong, even more powerful than a thousand-ton press.

  "Old man, can you let me go now? I don't have time to linger here with you, I still need to go back and sleep!"

  Chen Pengpeng saw that Teacher Yang had no intention of letting go and spoke out.

  "What a freak! What a freak! There's actually someone like you in this world, it's really a rare treasure on the verge of extinction! It seems that I, an old man ready to enter my coffin, am going to have good luck!"

  Teacher Yang excitedly grabbed Chen Peng. He seemed even happier than if he had picked up a gold coin, and seeing his expression made him willing to perform a striptease on the spot!

  "I'm telling you, old man, are you sick or something? If not, then let me return to my seat!"

  Chen Pengpeng gave the old man a disdainful glance and said, "If he hadn't been an old man, Chen Pengpeng would have punched him flying long ago. What's with all this fuss about coming and going?"

  "Oh! Oh...... From today on, no matter what you do in class, I won't scold you. You think it's okay to learn like that! Hehe, if you have any requests, just say so, don't be polite!"

  Old Yang's words came out, and all the classmates fell to the ground one by one. My god, this world is really going to change, if 2012 isn't the end of the world, then 2014 will be the day of death. What's with that, students who study still have the privilege of enjoyment in class? It's really too awesome.

  "What?! Old man, I didn't mishear, did I? You said that yourself! I didn't force you into anything! Remember what you said today, for the next few days when I'm attending your class, I can do whatever I want, and at that time, don't come bothering me!"

  Chen Peng stared at the old man in his sixties, today was really strange. What's wrong with this old man? If it were before, he wouldn't be spared from being scolded to death by just a few words, but today he actually gave students a get-out-of-jail-free card. It's going to rain, everyone hurry back and gather your clothes!

  "Don't worry, old chap! Who wouldn't believe what I say? With my reputation in..."

  "Alright, alright! I believe you, I believe you! Is that enough? Can I go back to my own seat now?"

  Chen Pengpeng immediately interrupted as soon as he heard him start to bring up the past. If Yang teacher starts talking about the past, even if you sit on a stool in front of him and stop him, he can talk for three days and three nights without finishing.

  "Heh heh, you can go back now."

  Yang old man finally let go of Chen Pengpeng's hand, and as soon as he did, Chen Pengpeng quickly pulled away from him, as if Yang old man had contracted H7N9 or something, the faster he retreated the better.

  "Wow! He's getting more and more stylish now! Not only is he good at kung fu, but his grades have even improved. If I could be his girlfriend, that would be great!"

  A lovesick girl gazed at Chen Pengpeng with deep affection and said.

  "Look! You don't even look in the mirror, you look like a pig head, do you think the handsome and clever Chen Pengpeng will like someone like you? How embarrassing!"

  The girl sitting next to her said with a rather embarrassed expression to the flower-obsessed girl.

  "You're such a hag! You think you're so great, but look at yourself, you're as ugly as a beehive, with acne all over your face and thick, greasy skin that makes people sick to their stomachs!"

  The girl who was scolded like a fool retorted.

  "Die, you three eight! What did you say!"

  "Aren't you a fool?"

  ......

  Zhou Xiaofeng sat behind, listening to the two super "beautiful" female classmates chattering non-stop in his ears, making his head swell. He now wants to hurry up and get out of school, then ask clearly what happened to Chen Pengpeng, why his own brother is so depressed, as a brother he should also support him through thick and thin.

  In the morning, the news of Chen Pengpeng's nickname spread throughout Zhugen High School. The most talked-about topic was that Chen Pengpeng, a handsome and talented student from Class 3(16), was dumped by Wei Linlin, the school belle from Class 3(1). These two pieces of news were on everyone's lips!

  P.S: The three more friends have been sent! Have you collected them? Hehe~~~~~~~~~~~
