He'll Probably Find Others Stupid! (Seeking Reads and Collections)

Right then, Luo Yao, Wu Tianming, and Wang Ye were getting ready to head to class.

"Is there a class with Professor Xia Qing this afternoon?"

"No. Hey, Luo Yao, why do you look so disappointed?" Wang Ye stared at Luo Yao in confusion.

"Professor Xia Qing is smart, so I want to meet her as soon as possible."

Meeting her sooner would let him decide whether to bring out the EDA Technology.

Wang Ye had no idea what he was thinking and just said, "Luo Yao, don't say I didn't warn you—Professor Xia is a real terror around here. Nobody gets off easy in her class."

"A terror? What does that mean?" Luo Yao found the words Wang Ye used always fresh and interesting, way more so than the classmates back in his small town.

"Well, it's hard to explain. Her class is first thing tomorrow morning—you'll see for yourself then."

Luo Yao looked at Wu Tianming, who just shrugged, looking like he didn't dare say anything either.

Wu Tianming casually grabbed a few notebooks and handed them to Luo Yao.

"You haven't had time to buy school supplies yet, right? Use these for now."

Luo Yao thought to himself that he rarely used notebooks, but seeing the expectant look in Wu Tianming's eyes, he still took a red one.

"I'll just take one."

"I noticed you really like red things?" Wu Tianming recalled Luo Yao's phone, which was also red.

"That's right. Red is usually associated with vitality and energy, because it's linked to things related to life and heat, like blood and fire. I like things full of life."

"So you also like red hundred-yuan bills?" Wang Ye immediately jumped to the most valuable thing.

"Of course." Luo Yao didn't hide it at all. "As long as it's red, I like it."

By the time Luo Yao followed them into the classroom, Wang Ye whispered to Wu Tianming, "See? This kid really loves money. With all the scams online these days, we need to keep an eye on him, so he doesn't go astray for the sake of cash."

"I don't think that'll happen."

"Why?"

"He'd probably think everyone else is too stupid." Wu Tianming answered very seriously.

Wang Ye exchanged a look with him and immediately stopped worrying.

Once in the classroom, Luo Yao walked straight to the front row.

"Damn, is this kid serious? Does he think this is high school? Sitting in the front row?" As soon as Wang Ye saw Luo Yao sit down in the first row, he felt awful.

"What do we do? We're in the same dorm—should we sit with him?" Wu Tianming was also stunned. He couldn't figure out who would still sit in the front row in college; wasn't the back row good enough for class?

Wang Ye wasn't happy about it. "You go if you want. I'm not doing it. We finally made it to college and can relax a bit—why act like a high school senior?"

Wu Tianming hesitated for a few seconds. He looked at Luo Yao's simple T-shirt and remembered the red-and-blue woven bag Luo Yao had packed his luggage in. He gritted his teeth, walked over to the seat next to Luo Yao, sat down, and placed his book between them.

Luo Yao instinctively picked up the book and flipped through it.

"Damn, what the hell is this?"

"If I don't sit over there now, won't I look like I'm being left out?"

Wang Ye had already started walking toward the back, but after muttering a few complaints, he resigned himself and went to the front row.

"Brother Wang, you came too." Wu Tianming was surprised.

Wang Ye held back the urge to roll his eyes and said, "It's all because of you two. If the teacher calls on me to answer a question, remember to help me out."

Luo Yao sat up straight, turned to him, and said something that nearly made Wang Ye spit blood: "How?"

"Never mind, you don't need to help. Let Tianming handle it for me." Wang Ye was startled by Luo Yao. Pulling tricks right under the teacher's nose—this guy couldn't be trusted, so he quickly turned down his offer.

Luo Yao's major, Microelectronics Science and Engineering, had three departments: Micro-Nano Electronics, Integrated Circuit Design, and Intelligent Integrated Systems.

Xia Qing was the head of the Intelligent Integrated Systems department, so Luo Yao's class was assigned to that department as well.

This class was physics, so both Wu Tianming and Wang Ye didn't want to sit up front.

Wu Tianming was good at chemistry, while Wang Ye excelled at physics.

Even so, Wang Ye was still afraid of college physics classes.

He felt that high school physics was child's play compared to college physics.

As soon as the physics teacher, Ke Zhan, appeared in the classroom, the whole room fell silent.

"I heard our department has a top student named Luo Yao, right?"

"Which one is he? Let me take a look."

The students in the classroom looked around curiously. A top student had arrived? How come they didn't know?

In college, most people only really knew their own dormmates.

They barely recognized anyone else in the department.

When Luo Yao raised his hand, everyone's gaze focused on him.

So it was that weirdo sitting in the front row.

A top student?

Everyone in this department has good grades, okay?!

Ke Zhan noticed that the raised hand belonged to Luo Yao, a boy with delicate features. He put down his teaching materials and looked at him with interest. "Good, good. I heard you're only sixteen and got first place in math, physics, and chemistry at the National Competition?"

"Yes, teacher."

Hearing this, the students in the classroom let out exclamations of surprise.

"First place in math, physics, and chemistry! What kind of god is this?!"

"Sorry, I thought he was just a top student, but it turns out he might be a study god!"

"Is he really that good? Could there be some exaggeration? I've never heard of anyone getting first in all three!"

"Don't know if it's true, but since the teacher said it, it must be real!"

Ke Zhan gestured for everyone to quiet down before saying to Luo Yao, "Then the teacher looks forward to seeing your performance! Now we're covering physics knowledge related to chips. Can you keep up?"

"I can, teacher."

"If there's anything you don't understand, ask your classmates after class."

Luo Yao shook his head and answered honestly, "No need. The physics knowledge we're learning now, I've already studied it on my own."

As soon as Luo Yao finished speaking, the entire classroom buzzed with chatter.

"Damn, this top student really doesn't care about saving face. He's already studied it?"

"Even if he has, he doesn't have to say it out loud! It makes us look so dumb!"

"This top student is a bit full of himself! Teacher Ke's expression doesn't look too good!"

"I think he's definitely bragging! If he really studied it, why is he still hanging around us freshmen? Wouldn't it be better to go to sophomore year?"

Wu Tianming sensed trouble and quickly tugged at Luo Yao's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.

Luo Yao looked at Wu Tianming with an innocent expression and said, "What's wrong? I'm telling the truth. Don't you believe me?"

Wu Tianming was fuming and was about to speak when Ke Zhan cut in.
