C5 The Beautiful Teacher Invited Him to Her Office

After Yan Bing finished with her speech, the originally noisy classroom immediately fell silent, becoming so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Every student lowered their heads, not wanting to be singled out at this time.

With more than 200 pages in the university’s Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Legal Basis book, there was a lot of material to memorize in this densely packed textbook.

Being able to recite the entire book would be no easy task.

It would prove difficult even for a top student!

“You want someone to recite the entire book?”

The expression on Ye Tian’s face visibly changed. He could recall during the first lesson of the semester, Yan Bing had indeed vaguely mentioned such a thing. But because it was such a hard task and Yan Bing did not mention any rewards, no one took her seriously. Little did they expect that she would bring it up at this time.

If he does this now, he could become an outstanding student and suppress all his past regrets!

Ye Tian’s eyes lit up and the corner of his mouth curled up. He raised his hand and smilingly said, “Miss Yan, you can test me.”

As his voice sounded out, all eyes fell on Ye Tian.

“Is he crazy? He actually wants to show off at this point? He dares lord-it-over in front of Ice Devil…”

“After Ye Tian punched Niu Xu twice, he actually thinks he’s so great. This kind of person will never succeed in life.”

The students took turns to mock and ridicule him, their faces filled with the type of disdain they were feeling for him.

"He thinks he actually memorized the contents of a two hundred pages textbook in two months. This guy who always scored at the bottom tier of the class must be dreaming."

Ye Tian ignored all the discussions going around him and still kept his hand raised.

He had indeed memorized the entirety of the textbook. Or rather, he knew it by heart and knew it like the back of his hand.

“Is that right?”

Yan Bing did not expect that Ye Tian, who never sought attention in the past, would actually want to be singled out at this moment. Her gaze slightly shifted on her face as she said this.

“Teacher, ask me anything you want.”

Ye Tian stood up from his seat and nodded his head as he said this.

“Give me the definition of morality.”

With her head lowered, Yan Bing flipped through the pages.

“Moralism is defined as a kind of construct. It is a special kind of social ideology. It solidifies itself through social public opinion, traditional customs, and people’s inner beliefs. As a kind of psychological evaluation of people’s behavior, it…”

Ye Tian offered up his explanation calmly with a smile on his face.

What in the world?!

The whole class was dumbfounded. After everyone flipped through the pages of their textbooks, they all turned to look up at Ye Tian unable to contain their shock.

Their lessons had yet to cover this chapter.

But now, Ye Tian had no trouble reciting this and it was exactly the same text as in the textbook.

“Explain to me the characteristics of the ideal.”

Though Yan Bing was slightly stunned, she continued to test Ye Tian.

“As a product of social practice, idealism’s characteristics are transcendence, realistic possibilities, differences, practicality…”

Ye Tian remained composed as he calmly replied.

The only sound that could be heard in the quiet classroom was someone taking in a shuddering breath. All the mocking and ridiculing gazes towards Ye Tian had shifted to amazement. They all stared at Ye Tian with wonder in their eyes.

“Tell me about the law.”

Yan Bing returned Ye Tian’s clear gaze and said this word by word.

Ye Tian’s memory was flawless. A battle of experts ensued between Ye Tian and Yan Bing. One fired questions and the other answered to their best ability. Yan Bing’s questions became more and more difficult and Ye Tian quickly retaliated with his answers, never hesitating once. The surrounding students could only flip through their books, unable to hide their shock.

Yan Bing’s questions were all random. They were all small knowledge points from books. If Yan Bing didn’t catch Ye Tian off guard just then, this would prove to be a huge setback for teachers.

What was so scary was that Ye Tian actually smoothly answered all the questions correctly.

Like two top swordsmen at the top of their game meeting for the first time with one taking turns asking and the other answering, the scene that unfolded was altogether too shocking!

The surrounding students could not help but feel admiration in their hearts. At the same time, a deep sense of loss could be also felt.

How did such a poor student with bad grades suddenly excel in his studies? Was this normal?!

“Very good. It is confirmed that you have indeed put the entire book into memory.”

After a good time, Yan Bing wiped the sweat from her forehead from all the exertion she went through while asking Ye Tian all those questions. She turned to look at Ye Tian and nodded her head in satisfaction, saying, “How long did you take to memorize everything?”

“Do you want the truth or a lie?”

Ye Tian said this with a smile on his face.

“I want to hear both truth and lies.”

On Yan Bing’s face was a rare smile as she said this slowly.

"The lie is that it took me two months to remember everything in this book, and the truth of the matter is it only took me ten minutes.”

Ye Tian’s face was unmoved as he said this calmly.

Was this guy trying to put up an act again? Was he trying to be funny?

The jealous classmates could not keep still. They felt it must've taken Ye Tian two whole months without rest or sleep to memorize this book. That was why he passed the test with flying colors. He was only using this so that he would look good in Yan Bing’s eyes.

Yan Bing ignored the words of the other students and could only stare at Ye Tian.

She felt that Ye Tian was telling her the honest truth.

It seemed it only took him ten minutes to memorize everything.

Being able to memorize a 200-page book in ten minutes, who would believe this?

“Very good. You may have a seat. Everyone, be sure to learn from Ye Tian in the future.”

After a moment, Yan Bing was silent, signaling with her head for Ye Tian to sit down. Then, she turned to the rest of the class while opening the textbook and lightly said, “Next, we’ll start roll call.”

That’s what you get for showing off! Ice Devil didn’t even bat an eyelash!

Fools always go around acting funny. He actually planned on becoming a bookworm in the future!

When the class saw that Yan Bing continued to treat Ye Tian casually, those who felt envy in their hearts previously, immediately turned to look at Ye Tian with ridicule in their eyes.

Ye Tian could care less about the reactions of outsiders. He only continued to quietly flip through the pages of his textbooks.

All this was to suppress the regrets of his past. It had nothing to do with obtaining something or not.

“Ye, you are really smart! Next time when there’s another exam, I want to be sitting next to you!”

Shi Xiong was the only one who gave Ye Tian any praise. He gave Ye Tian an admiring look, and he was not stringy with his approval for Ye Tian.

After two hours, the bell for the end of class rang out. Yan Bing rolled up her sleeves and was getting ready to leave.

“Ye Tian, follow me back to the office.”

As he was walking out of the door, she suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Tian.

The beautiful teacher had invited him to her office!

Those classmates had been laughing at Ye Tian earlier. Even though Ye Tian had memorized the entire textbook, he did not get any special treatment from Yan Bing. Yet when they heard this, their envy was renewed on their faces.

Ever since Yan Bing had first shown up at the University of South China Sea, many teachers and students paid a lot of attention to her comings and goings.

But until this moment, not a single teacher or student had been invited to her office.

No matter how much these people tried to seek out her attention, in the end, it had amounted to nothing.

But now, Ye Tian has actually become the exception to this law!

“I can only describe for you the details of how I beat up Niu Xu later…”

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Tian then smiled at Shi Xiong, then stood up and followed Yan Bing out of the classroom.

“What’s different about Ye?” Yan Bing asked herself. “Why do I suddenly feel like he's changed somehow…”

Shi Xiong could not help but stare at Ye Tian’s back with envy.

The other students in the class were the same, unable to suppress the jealousy in their hearts.

At this point in time, class had ended. In the office building, both teachers and students were milling about.

“Miss Yan, what’s your schedule like tonight? I hear that the Italian opera troupe has come to the South Sea to perform ‘Turandots.’ I’ve bought two tickets. Do you want to go together?”

They had just made their way to the door of Yan Bing’s office when a male teacher in a white shirt, who appeared to have been waiting there since early morning, greeted them with a bright smile on his face.

Hsu Lieh was a teacher of the University of South China Sea’s Cultural Department. Because he was handsome and had a gentle and refined temperament, his name was on a lot of female teachers and classmates’ lips. They all secretly liked Hsu Lieh.

“Sorry, I have something going on.”

Yan Bing said this lightly while shaking her head.

“How about we dine at a Western restaurant together? There’s a new Western restaurant outside of the school. The decor there is very stylish and very authentic to the style of New Yorkers. The steak and red there are also above par. It would be weird for me to dine there for lunch alone. It’s already almost noon. Why don’t we go together?”

Hsu Lieh’s lips continued to display a smile on his face. Behind his well-dressed gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes quickly flashed over Yan Bing’s body, leaving behind traces of desire in his glance.

From the moment Yan Bing showed up in this school, he had already long made up his mind that he would catch her attention.

It was everything about her from her figure, appearance, and temperament - Yan Bing was all around a perfect woman.

What stood out the most was that Hsu Lieh had found out through some channels that Yan Bing’s background was not ordinary. With such a great background, even the principal of the University of South China Sea, Yan Fei, had a high opinion of her.

Otherwise, with Yan Bing’s low status as an assistant teacher, she would not have been able to get an office of her own. In addition, the location of this office was at the best position of the office building. Such excellent treatment only continued to point to an excellent person.

If he could obtain such a woman, then he would be on the fast track to a promotion. Soon, his position as the department head of the Cultural Department would become imminent.

“I’m sorry. There’s something important that Miss Yan and I have to go over. I’m afraid this discussion is private.”

Just as Yan Bing was getting impatient, Ye Tian stepped forward and turned to look at Hsu Lieh.

Yan Bing heard his words and looked at Ye Tian in utter shock.

She could not wrap her mind around why this guy would suddenly go out of his way to stand up and speak for her...
