Chapter 65

*Clap, clap, clap* ——

A lonely applause echoed. Yang Tingting turned her head, smiling brightly as she clapped.

*Clap, clap, clap* ——

Lu Man quickly followed, clapping as well, her eyes curved into a crescent moon. There was even a hint of inexplicable pride in her gaze... Look at that! I knew I had a good eye for men! The young girl was shouting in her heart.

*Clap, clap, clap* ——

More applause broke out, quickly igniting the entire class. Everyone was clapping. Regardless of their attitude towards Lin Yihang, they all had to give their applause now.

Photographic memory! This is simply genius! Without mentioning anything else, it was the first time they had seen someone with a photographic memory since they were born. This performance was truly spectacular. Witnessing someone recite from memory would be a great talking point when boasting to others in the future!

Zhang Wei's expression changed several times before he finally put on a smile. However, his dry smile was clearly forced.

A student with a photographic memory... If this were his own student, it would indeed be worth celebrating. But, damn it, he was just a substitute teacher! No matter how outstanding the student was, it had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, this student with a photographic memory was discovered in a way that made him lose face. How could he be happy about it?

Being able to force a smile, Zhang Wei already felt that he had a deep sense of composure.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that there really are people with a photographic memory in this world. This classmate has truly given us all a pleasant surprise," Zhang Wei said with a forced smile. "What's your name, classmate? I will definitely recommend you to your homeroom teacher, Ms. Yin, and encourage her to focus on you. With your memory, there's no doubt you can improve your grades before the college entrance exam!"

Zhang Wei praised, maintaining a superior air as a teacher.

"Lin Yihang," Lin Yihang replied in a calm tone.

"You are Lin Yihang?" Zhang Wei said instinctively.

The name Lin Yihang had recently become well-known! The previously unremarkable underdog had recently risen, brutally beating the students who bullied him... These stories were just laughed off by the teachers. What truly caught their attention was Lin Yihang's background, with even the education bureau chief being polite to him... The news of Chief Guan Meiqing coming to the school to find Lin Yihang had already spread among the teachers, with a greater impact than among the students.

The teachers had privately concluded that he must be a second-generation with a hidden identity, living a normal student life for over three years and only recently revealing himself as graduation approached.

Zhang Wei regretted it! Why did he have to offend this great deity? It was just a coincidence! Who would have known that the guy sitting in the last row was Lin Yihang!

Zhang Wei didn't think that walking the night road and bumping into a ghost was a normal thing; he only thought he was unlucky and had bad luck.

"Great! Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved! Young man, you have a bright future. When you have time, come find me for some extra tutoring. With your memory, I can guarantee you'll do well in history for the college entrance exam," Zhang Wei began to try to get closer to Lin Yihang.

Teacher Zhang was ambitious. With no background at home, he mainly relied on relationships with parents to advance.

For a student like Lin Yihang, even if he couldn't get very close, he at least needed to avoid making the student dislike him. If the student decided to take revenge, he, a small teacher, might not be able to handle it.

However, Lin Yihang clearly wasn't buying it. He smiled and said:

"No need for extra tutoring. Teacher Zhang, you shouldn't have forgotten our bet just now, right? I've already memorized the answers. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"

Zhang Wei's smile froze, and he felt secretly angry. How could this student be so unreasonable? He had already hinted at making amends, so why was he still holding on to it!

He didn't consider that if Lin Yihang were just an ordinary student and had lost the bet, he probably wouldn't have let it go so easily, calling the parents to reflect at home or something similar.

This kind of person always thought from his own perspective.

"What? Teacher Zhang isn't planning to keep your promise?" Lin Yihang raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Wei had originally intended to back out, but seeing Lin Yihang's fierce gaze, he felt a chill. Teenagers have a lot of fire and can easily act impulsively. Lin Yihang, after undergoing herbal diet training, looked muscular. Zhang Wei didn't want to admit it, but at this moment, he was genuinely afraid. If this guy really got pushed to the limit and acted impulsively, beating him up... that would be a huge embarrassment. He had heard that this guy had been very violent recently!

Glancing at the surrounding classmates out of the corner of his eye, he saw that everyone was watching the drama, hoping for more chaos. Clearly, no one would come to his rescue, and he suspected that even if he were beaten up, everyone would still watch, and no one would pull him away... These middle school students were truly despicable!

Zhang Wei secretly hated it but quickly adjusted his mindset, forcing a smile and putting on a magnanimous appearance as he said:

"Hehe! Indeed, I was rash just now, and I didn't consider things thoroughly, causing you, Lin Yihang, to be wronged. I apologize to you here! I hope you can understand!"

After saying this, he bowed slightly.

"Forget it!" Lin Yihang waved his hand.

Insisting on making Zhang Wei apologize wasn't because he didn't respect teachers, but because he knew Zhang Wei's usual behavior. He only treated two types of students well: those with good academic performance who could boost his teaching achievements and those from wealthy families.

For other students, he never showed any kindness. As soon as he caught them making a mistake, he would call their parents to take them home for reflection. Many students were driven to the point of dropping out...

Such a teacher, Lin Yihang felt, didn't deserve to be a teacher. This time, since he had offended him, he decided to give him a small lesson.

Although Zhang Wei now appeared magnanimous, Lin Yihang could see the anger and hatred in his eyes.

However, Lin Yihang wasn't worried. A mere history teacher, if he didn't cause any more trouble, it would be fine. There were only two months left until the college entrance exam, and it was best if everyone got along. If he dared to act up again, he would just slap him.

It wasn't yet time to dismiss the class, and to show that he didn't care, Zhang Wei continued to explain the test paper. However, the atmosphere in the classroom had changed. Everyone would occasionally turn to look at Lin Yihang, their admiration mixed with awe.

Lin Yihang had indeed changed recently. Beating up Xu Le, thrashing Su Cheng, making beautiful girls chase after him, reciting from memory in class... Now, even the usually arrogant Teacher Zhang had apologized to him...

The once pitiful Lin Yihang had now become a high and mighty figure, envied by most of his classmates.

And now, this envied figure was holding a history textbook, reading the section on Shang and Zhou culture over and over again. He read every word of the introduction to bronze artifacts and carefully examined every picture.

His heart was surging with excitement.

Medicine cauldrons! These bronze artifacts were definitely medicine cauldrons! He was becoming more and more certain.
