Chapter 1 - Genius or Waste

Chapter translated by: Ironize97

"Ye Chen, Chinese, 8 points, mathematics, 9 points, English, 7 points..."

On the podium, the voice of teacher Li, the class teacher, was full of contempt and disgust.

"Boom!"

There was a burst of wanton laughter from the students below the stage.

"It's amazing, none of the subjects scored more than 10 points, and it's a new low!"

"What a genius! I used to be the first in the exam every time, but now I am the last one in the exam every time!"

"Yeah, I rejected 211 Jiangnan University's recommendation before, and now I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the exam at the Pheasant University! What a genius!"

The sound of ridicule and sarcasm resounded through the classroom.

"Hmph, genius?"

Teacher Li's middle-aged woman's sallow face showed an expression of extreme disgust again.

Ye Chen's head was deeply buried in the pile of books on the desk.

Yes, he is a genius, but that was three months ago.

Three months ago, Ye Chen had excellent homework, ranked first in the school every time he took exams, and was recommended to 211 Jiangnan University for admission. He was the envy of all the students and the apple of the eye of all the teachers.

But now Ye Chen, who is in a daze all day long, comes last in the exam every time, his classmates ridicule wantonly, and the teacher hates and despises him.

"Report to the teacher! I want to change seats! Being at the same table as Ye Chen has seriously affected my academic performance!"

Zhang Ruomin at the same table suddenly raised his hand.

Ye Chen's hands were tightly clenched under the desk.

This Zhang Ruomin, three months ago, cried and begged Teacher Li to change his seat to be at the same table as Ye Chen.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he wrote some nasty love poems to Ye Chen.

He even asked Ye Chen overtly and secretly if he would like to be her boyfriend!

Unexpectedly, she would say such a thing now!

"Change seats? You just changed seats not long ago, and you changed too frequently, it's not fair to other students." Teacher Li frowned.

"Ah? But, can I just sit at the same table with this trash like Ye Chen?"

The pretty Zhang Ruomin's face was full of disappointment and grievances, she looked so pitiful, but the words in her mouth were so vicious.

"It's not you who should change seats..."

Teacher Li on the podium was condescending, shook his head, paused, and suddenly said loudly:

"It's Ye Chen who should change seats!"

"What?"

Ye Chen suddenly raised his head.

"As the bottom one, as a waste, you are a rat shit in the class! How dare you sit in the golden seat in the middle of the classroom? You are wasting the school's educational resources! Ye Chen, move me to Go to the corner of the last row of the classroom! Immediately! Immediately!"

Teacher Li pointed at the corner of the classroom, and shouted at Ye Chen repeatedly.

"Luo Rongfa, go and take Ye Chen's seat."

Teacher Li paused, changed his smiling face, and said to Luo Rong, the rich second generation in the class.

Luo Rongfa, who was dressed in a famous brand, walked up to Ye Chen arrogantly, stretched out his hand and pushed Ye Chen's head, and said without any scruples: "Hurry up, you trash, trash, even if you dawdle, you can't stay. By Ruo Min's side!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled ambiguously and proudly at Zhang Ruomin.

And Zhang Ruomin also showed a flattering smile to Luo Rongfa.

Ye Chen's hands clenched even tighter, his nails pierced into his flesh without realizing it.

In the end, he had no choice but to pick up his books and walk to the lonely seat in the corner of the last row of the classroom.

"Snort!"

Zhang Ruomin's contemptuous snort came from behind Ye Chen.

There was no deskmate in the last row of the classroom, and Ye Chen was alone at the desk.

No one is willing to sit at the same table with Ye Chen.

Even in the whole class, no student was willing to talk to Ye Chen.

Except for the monitor, Xie Zhiruo.

"Ye Chen, don't be discouraged, it's just that the test results these few times are not satisfactory. I believe that you will do it next time!"

After school, a girl with airy bangs, a first-class figure and extremely beautiful long hair came to Ye Chen and said with concern.

She is the class monitor Xie Zhiruo, and she is also the school belle.

"I do not need your sympathy."

Ye Chen said coldly.

"Ye Chen, I understand your feelings..."

Xie Zhiruo's face paled slightly, she forcibly endured it, and said more.

"Understand? What can you understand? You go! I repeat, I don't need your sympathy!"

Ye Chen's voice was extremely cold.

"You!"

Xie Zhiruo's eyes turned red immediately, and with a crying voice, she turned around and ran out of the classroom.

"Poor pride!"

Xie Zhiruo's deskmate, a female classmate with short hair, said a word to Ye Chen with disdain, then grabbed her schoolbag and chased him out.

"Stay away from me, Zhiruo, I'm already a waste..."

Xie Zhiruo's movement of turning around seemed to have touched the softest part of Ye Chen's heart, she lowered her head, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.

"Damn it, Ye Chen, you trash, if I see you talking to Xie Zhiruo again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Seeing that there was no one in the classroom, the school bully Liu Wei surrounded him with a few followers and said fiercely.

While talking, he deliberately pushed the books Ye Chen piled on the table to the ground with a 'crash'.

"Don't worry about it."

Ye Chen said coldly, bent down, and reached out to pick up the book.

"Oops! I'm sorry, I accidentally stepped on it!"

Liu Wei stretched out his foot and stepped on the back of Ye Chen's hand picking up the book.

Where there is carelessness, it is clearly intentional!

Ye Chen's body froze, and he pulled his hand from Liu Wei's foot, the black footprints were extremely glaring.

However, Ye Chen just patted the footprints on his hands, silently picked up the book, and put it on the desk.

"Trash, is it quite bearable?"

Liu Wei stretched out his hand while talking.

Not light but not heavy, he patted Ye Chen's face a few times.

This kind of strength, if it is lighter, it is intimacy; if it is heavier, it is a slap in the face.

What an insult!

Crash!

Ye Chen pushed the table, his face flushed red, and he was about to stand up suddenly.

Snapped!

Unexpectedly, Liu Wei suddenly slapped Ye Chen on the back of the head, and directly slapped Ye Chen's face on the desk.

"What's the matter? Silly, still want to resist?"

Liu Wei said arrogantly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Ye Chen roared angrily, shaking his head desperately, the veins on his neck bulged, and he struggled to straighten up.

And Liu Wei suddenly pressed Ye Chen's face firmly on the desk with his hands, even rubbing back and forth!

"I hate your mother!"

Ye Chen's head was firmly held down, unable to move, he could only roar in grief and powerlessness.

"Ye Chen? You trash, how dare you curse at people in school? I want to hear one more sentence, be careful and I will expel you!"

Teacher Li happened to pass by the door of the classroom, took a look, and said loudly.

Since Ye Chen became a waste three months ago, taking exams every time dragged down the class, which has long been a burden and a laughing stock on Teacher Li. Teacher Li has tried to find opportunities to fire Ye Chen countless times.

Therefore, when Teacher Li saw Ye Chen being bullied and insulted by Liu Wei, instead of stepping forward to stop him, he threatened Ye Chen not to curse!

"Trash, I'll let you go today! Next time, it won't be that simple!"

Liu Wei kicked Ye Chen again, and then left the classroom with a few followers.

After a long time, Ye Chen patted the dust off his body, grabbed his schoolbag, and dragged his tired body towards the house, feeling as if his heart was ashes.

In the past three months, not only has his memory declined, but his academic performance has plummeted. Even his body is getting worse day by day. Just sitting in the classroom for a while, he feels sore and weak all over.

Not long after, Ye Chen walked to the door of the house and was about to push the door open when he heard his parents' voices coming from the door.

"Hey, Chen'er's grades have plummeted recently, I must be feeling uncomfortable! Although he is not my own, but I have always regarded him as my own! Seeing Chen'er like that, I feel sad too!"

"Hey, what the old Taoist said when we picked up Chen'er from the garbage dump all those years ago seems to have come true!"

"Could it be that Chen'er, is there really such a calamity in fate?"

Ye Chen's hand that was about to push the door froze in mid-air.

"I... am not... my own?"

Ye Chen only felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky!

"Boom!"

Dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and there were bursts of thunder in the sky.

"Wow!"

The rain poured down.

Ye Chen turned around, rushed into the rain, and ran wildly.

Why?

Why do you treat me like this?

If I'm a fool, why not let me be a fool in the first place?

If I'm a genius, why not let me be a genius all the time?

The world bullies and humiliates me, even my parents lie to me!

I'm simply an unwanted outcast!

Ye Chen ran frantically for an unknown distance until he collapsed from exhaustion.

Days, gradually dark.

Ye Chen turned his back to the sky and lay down on the ground.

The rain kept washing his body, and the biting chill made him curl up, shivering uncontrollably.

"Boom!"

Another burst of thunder.

"Shua!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly lit up the sky.

Slash straight down towards Ye Chen!

"Ah!"

Ye Chen screamed.

Thief God, come on, you hack me to death!

Ye Chen roared in his heart, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

...

What Ye Chen, who lost consciousness, didn't know was that a huge eye suddenly appeared in the pitch-black sky.

The huge eyes blinked, and quickly locked onto Ye Chen's body.

"My god, I didn't expect to be discovered by you! Today, either you die or I live!"

Strangely enough, 'Ye Chen', who was struck by lightning and had lost consciousness, suddenly jumped up, pointed to the sky with one hand, and pointed to the ground with the other, raised his head and cursed loudly.

Swish!

Another lightning struck straight towards 'Ye Chen'.

The body of 'Ye Chen' unexpectedly moved half a meter sideways in a strange instant, narrowly avoiding it.

After avoiding it, 'Ye Chen' pointed to the sky with one hand, and a purple light shot out from the finger, heading straight for the giant eye in the sky.

However, this ray of purple light was too weak, before it could hit the giant eye, it was blocked by layers of black clouds and dissipated in the pitch-black sky.

Swish Swish Swish!

Lightning struck one after another, avoiding the surrounding tall buildings, and struck at 'Ye Chen' again and again.

"Too bad, it's not my body after all, it's still too much effort to avoid the thunder!"

'Ye Chen' moved rapidly while talking to himself.

Swish Swish Swish!

Boom boom boom!

Finally, the body of 'Ye Chen' was really unable to dodge, and was struck by several bolts of lightning on the top of his head.

"Boom!"

The body of 'Ye Chen' fell down heavily, his whole body was as black as coke, motionless, as if he was completely dead.

The giant eye in the sky blinked again, then closed in satisfaction, and slowly dissipated.

A long time.

The rain gradually became smaller.

"Hey! You kid, wake up quickly! If you don't wake up, I will really disappear!"

Suddenly, a weak and old voice sounded in Ye Chen's head.
