Journey to become a God

All the students appeared to be listening attentively to Teacher Lin Rouxi's lecture, but in reality, most of them were simply pretending. They maintained serious expressions to avoid being scolded, even though they barely understood the material.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, was utterly bored. He had already memorized everything in the textbook, so the lesson felt redundant to him. To pass the time, he turned his gaze toward Zhao Yanyan, who was focused on the lecture. However, his lingering stare made Zhao Yanyan uneasy.

Feeling the weight of his gaze, Zhao Yanyan's face turned slightly red. She lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her notebook.

"Ye Chen, stop staring at me like that... It's embarrassing," she whispered, her voice tinged with shyness.

Ye Chen smirked playfully. "What? Can't I admire my beautiful girlfriend?"

Zhao Yanyan gave him a flustered look. "It's not that... but at least be mindful of the time and place! We're in class!"

"Alright, alright," Ye Chen chuckled, finally shifting his gaze away. However, instead of focusing on the lesson, his eyes inadvertently landed on Teacher Lin Rouxi, who was writing on the board. His attention drifted to her elegant figure, his gaze lingering a little too long.

Lin Rouxi, possessing sharp instincts, immediately sensed she was being watched. When she turned around and caught Ye Chen staring, her eyes narrowed. Annoyed, she tapped her chalk against the board and called out, "Ye Chen, come forward and solve this problem."

Ye Chen sighed, realizing he had been caught. Nonetheless, he walked up to the board with a relaxed demeanor. Lin Rouxi had deliberately chosen a difficult problem, hoping to put him in his place. However, Ye Chen barely needed a moment to solve it. With quick, confident strokes, he filled the board with the correct answer.

Lin Rouxi's expression froze. She had been hoping to reprimand him, but his perfect answer left her speechless. With no other choice, she sighed and said, "Fine, you may return to your seat."

Ye Chen smirked slightly, bowing his head respectfully before heading back. The lesson continued until the school bell rang, signaling the end of the class.

As students packed up their things, Ye Chen turned to Zhao Yanyan. "Do you have any plans after school?"

"I have a music class today," she replied while organizing her books.

"Oh? I didn't know you were into music."

"I wasn't at first," she admitted with a shy smile. "But after listening to Feng Xue play, I became really interested. Her performances are just so beautiful."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Who's Feng Xue?"

Zhao Yanyan gasped as if she had seen a ghost. "You're joking, right? Feng Xue is the most famous musician in the country! She's on TV, in magazines, everywhere! How have you never heard of her?"

Ye Chen scratched his head. "I don't really follow entertainment news. I'd rather play games on my phone than watch TV."

Zhao Yanyan shook her head in disbelief. "Forget it. Next Sunday, Feng Xue will be visiting my music class. You should come with me!"

Before Ye Chen could respond, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh! We haven't exchanged phone numbers yet. It'll be easier to stay in touch that way."

Ye Chen smiled wryly. "Actually, I don't have a phone right now. My old one is broken. I'll probably buy a new one soon."

"Then hurry up and get one!" she pouted playfully. "I want to be able to call you."

Ye Chen chuckled. "Alright, I'll get one soon."

Satisfied, Zhao Yanyan picked up her bag. "I have to go now. See you later, Ye Ye!"

With a small wave, she left the classroom, leaving Ye Chen standing alone. Just then, he realized that Teacher Lin Rouxi was still there, watching him with an unreadable expression.

It seemed that today had been more eventful than expected.
