Chapter 193: 191, Humble Self-introduction (First Update)_1

Yang Lan was an interesting person. On the No.4 Middle School’s official website, the brief introduction of Yang Lan only contained a few words: national senior teacher, cat slave.

What kind of an introduction was this, Ren He wondered as he looked at the few words on his phone, speechless. How could "cat slave" appear on such a formal official website?!

Ren He originally had little interest in the school’s official website, but after seeing Yang Lan’s introduction, he became curious to continue reading, and immediately discovered several unserious profiles...

Kind of interesting.

No.4 Middle School had 4 national top-tier teachers and 117 national senior teachers. Some might think this was just about having job titles, but Ren He had been fortunate enough to attend a few math lessons by a national top-tier teacher in his previous life. It felt like the previous teachers were just leading you to learn knowledge, whereas a top-tier teacher seemed to be taking you through knowledge to recognize the world.

It really was different.

Tomorrow was military training, and today was the process of everyone getting to know each other and collecting their books. The students had to introduce themselves one by one and then arrange their seats.

When it came to self-introductions, Ren He noticed an interesting phenomenon among his classmates: their specialties were really diverse. The biggest advantage here was that everyone was outstanding, and Ren He was also willing to showcase many of his extraordinary aspects to blend in with them.

His deskmate was still a fatty, but a much bigger one than Xu Nuo; Little Fatty. His first sentence on stage was, "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Haoyang. I like to research physics and am determined to join the national physics competition team. My hobbies are reading novels, and my favorite work is Kunlun."

As soon as Ren He heard Kunlun, he perked up. That was a fan of his! He needed to get closer and listen to some compliments...

However, how come it seemed like everyone who stepped forward was a top student? To be honest, Ren He really couldn’t compare with them academically; at best, he was a student who had studied hard for a while during his senior year. He had been fine in junior high, but in a place like No.4 Middle School, his grades would probably be at the bottom...

Some went up to the podium and said they were good at writing, others at drawing, some were skilled in three musical instruments, some could speak many foreign languages, some even introduced themselves in authentic London accent, some were already acting in plays, and so on.

Among these, Ren He had a particularly vivid memory of a skinny little classmate named Liu Bing, who began his stage appearance with a stand-up comedy act: "Most of you may not know much about Teacher Yang Lan, but I’ve come up from the junior high division of No.4 Middle School, so I’ve paid attention to Teacher Yang Lan. He’s a very literary scholar who, over 3 years, while being busy teaching students, has also been writing books. He’s written a total of 13 novels and 2 academic works... but none of them have been hits. I remember half a year ago when his last book was published, he vehemently posted anonymously in the school forum saying a new book was going to be released today, it’s definitely going to be a hit, everyone should hurry and buy it. He thought we wouldn’t know it was him if he was anonymous, but he’s done this 15 times now... Teacher Yang Lan, as a student who has followed you for 3 years, may I trouble you to do something serious? You’re not going to be popular."

Yang Lan, who was on the side, laughed so hard he doubled over. Even though his anonymous self-promotion had been exposed, he didn’t show a trace of embarrassment. Ren He felt that this probably gave him a general sense of the atmosphere at No.4 Middle School.

When it was Ren He’s turn to introduce himself, he suddenly didn’t know what to say; most of the things he could talk about were not what he wanted to expose at the moment, like being the author of Kunlun, the Three Character Classic, and The Kite Runner; the owner of the Qinghe Fund; the owner of Qinghe Games; the number one person in extreme sports in the cycling field; the most popular author of hand-drawn sketches, Dream Chaser; the lyricist and composer for Yang Xi, the hottest star of the moment. Although No.4 Middle School had many prodigies, Ren He’s achievements seemed still too shocking.

So he could only give a brief introduction: "Hello everyone, my name is Ren He from a small city Luo City. I can do a bit of writing and painting, simultaneous interpretation in English, do some charity when I’m free, make some games, occasionally write songs, and bike... What I’m best at is bragging."

Initially, as he introduced himself, everyone was amazed that he could do so many things. However, when he finished with his last sentence, the entire room exploded in laughter. Was it all just bragging? Quite the sense of humor.

But many years later, looking back on what Ren He said on stage that day, they were shocked to realize that none of it was bragging.

Behind all that humility was true excellence.

When Ren He returned to his seat, Jiang Haoyang nudged his arm: "Not bad, brother, I find you quite likable. From now on, we’re friends."

"I find you likable too," Ren He said cheerfully.

But Jiang Haoyang always felt something was off, as if he was under the direct gaze of some celebrity’s fan...

Perhaps it was fate, or they just stunk the same, Liu Bing, Jiang Haoyang, and Ren He quickly became acquainted with each other, and by the time school let out in the afternoon, they were already calling each other brothers.

When school ended, both Jiang Haoyang and Liu Bing looked worried. Jiang Haoyang said, "We have military training tomorrow, and damn it, I checked the weather forecast. It says it’s going to be clear skies for the next two weeks, which means we’ll have to do military training under the sun! I begged my mom to get me a sick leave note from the hospital, but she just told me it was a good opportunity for me to lose some weight..."

Military training must be the most painful time for every student, standing under the sun in over thirty-degree heat, the instructors don’t care if you get sunburned, because they won’t...

Even though Ren He now has exceptional physical strength, it doesn’t mean he likes military training. Why participate in military training, just to exhaust himself standing in the sun all day?

It’s meaningless!

Go and compete with the instructors on who can do push-ups and pull-ups faster? That’s just being idle and bored.

So Ren He also wanted to skip military training, but how to skip it, that’s a technical job.

He suddenly asked Jiang Haoyang and Liu Bing, "Do you guys really not want to participate in military training?"

Ren He had to seek their opinions; after all, such things called for the advice of those involved, he couldn’t make decisions on his own.

The two of them swore ardently with pats on their chests, "Don’t want to, definitely don’t want to!"

"Cough cough, then are you willing to pay some price for it..." Ren He said, slightly embarrassed.

Although Liu Bing and Jiang Haoyang had a bit of an ominous feeling, they didn’t know where this feeling came from, so they could only answer vaguely, "Willing!"

Since the two of them agreed, Ren He had nothing to worry about... He pulled the two aside and whispered, "Even though we don’t have a sick leave note, we can pretend to be sick, right? When the sun is so poisonous, Jiang Haoyang just has to lie down on the ground, and we’ll rush out saying he’s got heatstroke and needs to be taken to the medical room. The instructor wouldn’t dare take that responsibility!"

Jiang Haoyang felt a little annoyed: "Why am I the one lying on the ground?"

"Because you’re flabby, it’s easier for people to believe you’re heatstroked. Do you think people would believe it if I, with my physical fitness, lay on the ground?" Ren He explained calmly.

It seemed to make sense, and Jiang Haoyang looked at Liu Bing and Ren He, and it appeared he really was the most fitting for the role.

However, that ominous feeling in Jiang Haoyang’s heart was getting stronger, he couldn’t shake off the sensation that something very bad was about to happen to him.

...

The kind of prestigious school like No.4 Middle School does really exist, but this is a novel after all, friends from No.4 Middle School shouldn’t take it personally, just using it as a prototype
