Chapter 62: Narcissistic Zhou Xiaofeng
"Haha, Teacher Jingrou, looks like you've struck gold! It seems that for the past three years, we've been underestimating Chen Pengpeng. He's not just an average student, but a genius! No, I should say he's a freak of nature! In all my years of teaching math, I've never seen a student as sharp as him. He can even solve the additional questions on the college entrance exam, and finished three questions in just 20 minutes. But what's even more astonishing is that he solved the three questions using five different methods. It's truly shocking!"
Old Yang rushed to the English department office as soon as class was over, instead of returning to his math department office. As soon as he came up, he poured out a string of words to Jingru, telling her everything that had just happened. When Old Yang finished speaking, Jingru stood beside him like a wooden puppet, stunned. She really couldn't understand why a student who used to sleep in class and be late would have such amazing grades, and why he would hide himself. This made her truly unable to comprehend.
"Hey, Teacher Rong Rou, did you hear me talking?"
Yang Lao saw that Rong Rou was like a stupid chicken, motionless. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and said: "He's really depressed, thinking that Rong Rou would be shocked by the news and scream or something, but he saw Rong Rou as if she hadn't heard him speak at all." In fact, Rong Rou was already so shocked that she couldn't say a word, it's just that he didn't notice!
"What? Oh... oh... oh, is Teacher Yang Chenpeng really that formidable?"
Jiang Rou still didn't quite believe it and asked aloud.
"How can you still not believe me? I, Old Yang, have been a teacher at this school for so many years and am recognized by many students' parents!"
Yang Lao saw that Rong Ru did not believe his words, and his expression was somewhat unpleasant. Originally, he had come to share the good news with great enthusiasm, but instead, he was being treated as if he were telling lies. How could he not be angry?
"Alright, don't mind what I said earlier, okay? It's just that I couldn't react in time. You also know what kind of student Chen Peng usually is, and now he suddenly performs beyond his level, who wouldn't be suspicious? If my attitude was bad earlier, I'd like to apologize here."
Jiang Rou saw that Old Man Yang's face fell and knew he was angry, so she immediately explained to him. She knew that this kind of high-ranking person cared about what others thought of him, so Jiang Rou had to explain herself.
"Haha... Teacher Rongruo isn't the only one who thinks that way, I used to think the same as you. But after what happened this morning, I suspect we've both been deceived by that mischievous Chen Pengpeng! He's absolutely a genius!"
Yang Lao Tou suddenly burst out laughing and said to Rong Ru, "Haha, old guys are indeed old guys. As long as others don't deny his words, he'll laugh loudly like a kid."
Pfft
"Teacher Yang, you must be overjoyed now! As soon as I see you like this, I know you're so happy that you could fly to the sky!"
Jian Ruo couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Old Man Yang, and in her eyes, these elderly people's happy actions like children made her deeply understand that the innocence of old people is so lovely.
"Haha, that's it! I won't say anything more, I'll just go back to my math group and tell those old guys who refuse to die, let them see if there are no top students in the ordinary class I teach! Hmph~~ Now I want to see how they can still be arrogant!"
Old Yang burst out laughing and left the English department office. He was particularly excited, thinking that he could finally release all the pent-up emotions of so many years. In the past, every time Old Yang finished class and returned to his own office, he often heard other math teachers bragging about how great their students were, saying that the classes he taught were inferior. This made him feel really stifled. Now was truly his moment to hold his head high and let out a sigh of relief, so he was naturally overjoyed.
Jian Ruo looked at Old Man Yang's delighted expression, shaking her head with a smile all over her face. Her mood was equally excited at this moment, because she knew that the current Chen Pengpeng was absolutely different from before!
"Heh heh, little friend, I finally made it to the end of school this morning, I have so many questions, shouldn't you explain something to me?"
As soon as school was over, Zhou Xiaofeng hurriedly ran to Chen Pengpeng's side and asked. Now he only wants an explanation from Chen Pengpeng. Since Chen Pengpeng returned after disappearing, he has completely changed. When Chen Pengpeng single-handedly took on Lin Shangren's gang and the security guards brought by Principal Wu Tian, even the armed police were knocked down, Zhou Xiaofeng was extremely puzzled. He couldn't understand how he became so powerful all of a sudden! From childhood to adulthood, they had played together, but he had never seen Chen Pengpeng practice any martial arts! The former Chen Pengpeng, whose academic performance was as bad as a pile of dung, suddenly became like Superman, wise and intelligent, which made Zhou Xiaofeng's eyes widen in shock. Now he has too many questions, so he wants Chen Pengpeng to give him a clear explanation about what is going on.
"Xiao Feng, I'm really upset today, brother. Now I'm very hungry."
Tian Pengpeng said to Zhou Xiaofeng with a sad face. Zhou Xiaofeng seemed to understand something when he saw Tian Pengpeng like this, and he didn't want to ask too much about Tian Pengpeng's private affairs. As brothers, what they could understand was that they should give each other some private time, and he believed that Tian Pengpeng would tell him when the time came.
"Hmm! Little friend, today we'll just think about nothing and have a great big meal! Haha! Ever since Lin hurt that one family and they went bankrupt, our family's business has been booming! Even the pocket money my old man gives me is several times more than usual! Haha! Today, brother is treating you to a big feast at the cafeteria!"
Zhou Xiaofeng said in an exaggerated tone. Now he has put on a second-generation ancestor's demeanor, making people really want to slap him twice!
"Haha! You said it yourself! I didn't force you! I'm leaving!"
As soon as Chen Pengpeng heard Zhou Xiaofeng's words, he smiled slyly. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace, leaving only a gentle breeze swirling around Zhou Xiaofeng's side.
"My god! Xiao Peng, you're yelling at me again!"
Zhou Xiaofeng looked around and didn't see Chen Pengpeng's figure, knowing that he had been tricked by Chen Pengpeng again. He could only chase after him from behind, shouting and scolding as he went.
When Zhou Xiaofeng and Chen Pengpeng arrived at the school canteen, they were both taken aback by the sea of people before them. They didn't dare to venture out for lunch, not because they didn't want to eat outside, but because this godforsaken school was too far from any restaurants. So Zhou Xiaofeng and Chen Pengpeng had no choice but to stay in the crowded canteen and fight for a mouthful of food. Although there were many people, the canteen's food was actually quite good, which is why as soon as they heard the dismissal bell, Chen Pengpeng and Zhou Xiaofeng rushed towards the canteen without hesitation.
"Xiao Feng, it seems like we have to rely on you again this time!"
Chen Peng looked at Zhou Xiaofeng with a profound gaze.
"I knew it! I've been with you for three years and all you can say is this, nothing else!"
Zhou Xiaofeng glanced at Chen Pengpeng and said. After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaofeng, relying on his tall stature, plunged into the crowd. Before long, Zhou Xiaofeng carried two sumptuous dishes of food and squeezed through the crowd to where Chen Pengpeng was standing with all his might.
"I'm telling you, I said little friend, can't you come up and help me get the next one? If it falls down, how are you going to eat?"
Zhou Xiaofeng panted and walked to the front of Chen Pengpeng, saying in a bad tone. In fact, Chen Pengpeng saw everything with his own eyes, he knew that Zhou Xiaofeng was just talking big, before Chen Pengpeng had helped him serve dishes, but Zhou Xiaofeng said it was nothing. Since then, Chen Pengpeng never helped him again. The two of them were very clear that brotherly love is in the heart, no need for too many words.
"Haha, you're really tall and sturdy! In this school, who else can squeeze past you? Even Lei Feng would have to give way to you!"
Zhen Pengpeng sighed. The two of them had been fond of arguing since they were young, but they had never truly gotten angry with each other. Zhou Xiaofeng was the same, he had never had a narrow-minded side, it could be said that the brotherly affection between the two was very friendly.
"Cut it out! Don't make me sound like a god here, I'm not crossing myself, I am the legend itself!"
Zhou Xiaofeng loudly said with his head held high and chest out. People passing by him looked at him with surprised eyes, which clearly meant "You're really a big fool!" But Zhou Xiaofeng, this self-loving crazy person, didn't know what others were thinking, and continued to boast about how awesome he was.
"I'm telling you, Brother Legend, you're so awesome! Everyone in the cafeteria is watching you! Hurry up and give me my delicious meal! I don't want to lose face here!"
Chen Pengpeng suddenly snatched the food from Zhou Xiaofeng's hands and walked away, before he could even react Chen Pengpeng had already taken the food to find a seat.
"Am I giving you face by letting you off easy? They're just admiring me! You don't understand anything! Hey, wait for me!"
Zhou Xiaofeng looked at Chen Pengpeng, who was searching for a place to eat, and shouted loudly. "Sweat, I've really never seen anyone like this before! From ancient times to the present, only Zhou Xiaofeng would dare say such things in public!"
"Hey, Lili look! Isn't that Chen Pengpeng and that rascal?"
In a corner, three girls were eating lunch. The one speaking was Qiao He Yi, who often hung out with Wei Lin Lin, while the quiet one on the other side, focused on eating, was Jia Jing Jing. When Qiao He Yi mentioned Chen Peng Peng, her hand holding chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and she looked at Chen Peng Peng searching for a seat, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears. Even Jia Jing Jing, who had been quietly eating, raised her head when she saw Wei Lin Lin's expression, and gave Qiao He Yi a stern glare. Seeing Jia Jing Jing's gaze, Qiao He Yi knew she had misspoken, quickly covering her mouth with both hands and burying her head to pretend to eat.
