I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 174: Name and Student ID

A new week began.

Ye Lingchen stepped foot into the university, experiencing the passion of young men and women in their prime.a

Although he could no longer learn much from the university, he would still be present during classes. Being punctual in classes was one of the fundamental traits of a qualified prodigy.

Of course, when it came to paying attention in class, that was another matter altogether.

Ye Lingchen was browsing through his phone, checking out the recent news and hot topics on Weibo. That was one of his habits that would also pass as entertainment.

Two of the Weibo headlines piqued Ye Lingchen’s interest. Its popularity had reached a boiling point.

[Wu Han suffered great injuries while filming I am Hero!]

Following the link, a few pictures were attached. They seemed to be the filming set of I am Hero.

Wu Han’s face looked pale as he was surrounded by a large number of crew members. He seemed to be barely keeping conscious.

The people surrounding him were all nervous and anxious, giving off the impression it was chaotic. The ambulance could be seen in the background with paramedics heading over with a stretcher.

The last picture was a super close up shot of Wu Han’s injury.

His thumb had suffered a rather sizable wound!

Terrible!

Mortifying!

The comments below went crazy.

[Ah! Husband, are you okay?! It pains my heart!]

[My eyes are puffy from crying. I would rather die than to see you suffer such an injury.]

[Husband, which hospital are you in? I’ll fly over immediately!]

Apart from that Weibo status, the other trending Weibo status was similarly related to Wu Han.

[Wu Han filmed with determination despite the cruel heat, sweating on his forehead!]

As before, there were a few photos attached. The first was the sun, then followed by a photo of Wu Han’s filming process. Lastly was a close up on Wu Han’s forehead, which sported two drops of sweat!

[Ah! My husband is most handsome when he’s filming!]

[Sob sob sob, why would you tire out my husband like that! Trash film set!]

[I must go watch this movie to support my husband!]

...

‘It burns the eyes!’

Ye Lingchen could not stand reading any more and got out of there.

He looked around and found that the class was still relatively harmonious, with only the lecturer giving a lecture on the podium. The other students maintained absolute silence, but in between their books were their phones, each doing their own thing.

Surprisingly, Xiang, Potato, and Little Gen reacted in the same way, almost sticking their face to their phone screen, reading it with absolute focus.

“Hm?” Ye Lingchen hummed quietly as he stole a glance at them. The words they were reading seemed familiar!

Upon taking another look, that was Celestial Bane!

Right then, a slightly chubby male student seated up the front suddenly stood straight up, slamming his hand heavily on the table in front of him.

That loud smack tore through the class like thunder.

The students and lecturer were all dumbfounded, shifting their gaze to that student together.

“Heart for the world, life for the people. Strive for hidden knowledge, strive for peace in the world! Well said, well said!” That student was lost in his own world, oblivious to his surroundings. His face was flushed, shouting passionately, “F*ck! That’s so magnificent. My blood is boiling with passion from just reading it. Well said!”

Silence!

A cold breeze blew past.

That student unwittingly shrugged and looked around the class at his classmates in a daze.

“Sir...if I tell you that it was not me speaking earlier, would you believe me?”

The lecturer chuckled. The elderly lecturer with reading glasses was a professor at Capital University. He smiled gently, “Dear student, your name and student ID please.”

“Sir, we’re here to learn about literature. Was that quote considered a classic? It was written by a great scholar,” the student shamelessly defended his point, struggling in his death throes.

“Name and student ID.”

“Hao Jian, 38.”

The elder nodded, “Very well. We’ll start by halving your class performance score.”

After that student sat back down, the lecturer pushed his glasses and showed a contemplative look.

His class was focused on poems in the language department. At that point, he paused for a moment, then turned around to write on the board, “Heart for the world, life for the people. Strive for hidden knowledge, strive for peace in the world!”

“This quote...is quite good,” The lecturer mumbled softly while looking at the quote. He then asked, “Where did you find this quote from?”

“Sir, it’s from Celestial Bane!” answered the entire class at the same time. There were quite a number of female students too...

Ring ring ring!

The class bell sounded.

After the lecturer left, the entire class broke out into laughter. Ye Lingchen could not help but laugh along.

Only Hao Jian seemed dejected, filled with bottled up negative emotions.

Someone even joked while looking at Hao Jian, “Here, look over here Mr. Name and student ID!”

“Hao Jian, you’re the best! From now on, I’ll be idolizing you and Y!”

“Hao Jian, do it again! Put on that spirit from earlier and I’ll film it for you. You might go viral!”

The class was extremely lively and filled with laughter.

“Class is over. Why are you guys still here?” Ye Lingchen asked. Under normal situations, the students would leave as soon as they could.

“Ye’zi, I guess you didn’t check the class group chat right?” Xiang laughed out loud. “This week is the new student networking event. Our language department’s freshmen will be organizing an outing.”

“Registration is voluntary, but we three have already decided to go. Ye’zi, why don’t you come along? There’re lots of girls. It’ll be fun.” Potato chimed in.

“We’re leaving this Saturday. Get your tents ready as we’ll be spending Saturday night on the mountain.” Little Gen added as well, “Ye’zi, we’ve got the tents ready. You can just share my tent.”

Capital City was surrounded by mountainous regions, which meant it had a lot of vacation hotspots. It seemed the itinerary was more or less complete.

Ye Lingchen nodded with a smile. “Sure, I’ll join!”

“Hahaha, Ye’zi, you’re our best ad at this point. If you join, then all those other girls will surely join as well!” Xiang roared excitedly. He then walked towards Gao Wen with a creepy expression on his face, trying to help Ye Lingchen with his registration.

As expected, once news of Ye Lingchen’s participation spread, some of the girls became a lot more interested, occasionally stealing glances at Ye Lingchen.

“Right, Ye’zi, let me recommend you a wonderful novel!” Little Gen took out his phone, “It’s this, Celestial Bane, the true xianxia! It’s awesome!”

“At first with Y-God’s livestream being banned, we lost an entertaining activity. Unexpectedly this novel just appeared out of the blue. It’s just like a refreshing spring appearing in the desert, soothing our hearts!” Potato was boiling over with excitement. “Did you know? This novel’s author is called I am Y! What a bomb!”

“Nowadays, people without some capabilities wouldn’t dare call themselves Y.”

“Mm, I should go home and have a look at it then.” Ye Lingchen’s expression was a little weird as he nodded along.

“I guarantee that this book will have you hooked in no time!” Little Gen assured Ye Lingchen with a thump on his chest.
