He'd Probably Think Everyone Else Was Stupid!

At that moment, Luo Yao, Wu Tianming, and Wang Ye were getting ready to head to class.

"Do we have Professor Xia Qing's class this afternoon?"

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

"Professor Xia Qing is smart, so I want to meet her sooner."

Only by meeting her sooner could he decide whether to reveal EDA Technology.

Wang Ye had no idea what he was thinking and continued, "Luo Yao, don't say I didn't warn you. Professor Xia is the big demon around here. No one gets off easy in her classes."

"Big demon? What does that mean?" Luo Yao found the words Wang Ye blurted out novel every time. He was much more interesting than the students back in town.

"Well, that's hard to explain. Her class is first period tomorrow morning. You'll understand then."

Luo Yao looked at Wu Tianming, but Wu Tianming merely shrugged, looking like he did not dare say anything.

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

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

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

"One is enough."

"I've noticed that you really like red things." Wu Tianming recalled that Luo Yao's phone was red too.

"Yes. Red is usually associated with vitality and energy because it is connected to things related to life and heat, such as blood and flames. I like things full of vitality."

"So you like red hundred-yuan bills too?" Wang Ye immediately thought of the most valuable red thing.

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

As Luo Yao followed them to the classroom, Wang Ye quietly said to Wu Tianming, "See that? This kid really likes money. There are so many scams online these days. We need to keep an eye on him so he doesn't go astray because of money."

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

"Why not?"

"He'd probably think everyone else was stupid." Wu Tianming answered with complete seriousness.

Wang Ye exchanged a glance with him, and immediately stopped worrying.

Upon reaching the classroom, Luo Yao headed straight for the front row.

"Damn, is this kid serious? Does he think this is high school? He's sitting in the first row?" The moment Wang Ye saw Luo Yao sit down in the front row, he felt terrible.

"What do we do? We're roommates. Do we have to sit with him?" Wu Tianming was stunned too. He could not understand why anyone would sit in the first row at university. Couldn't they attend class just fine from the back row?

Wang Ye was unwilling. "You go sit there if you want. I'm not going. I finally got into university so I could relax a little. Why am I acting like a high school senior again?"

Wu Tianming hesitated for several seconds. Looking at Luo Yao's plain T-shirt, he remembered the red-and-blue woven sack Luo Yao had used for his luggage. Gritting his teeth, he walked over to the seat beside Luo Yao and sat down, placing the books between them.

Luo Yao instinctively picked up a book and started flipping through it.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"

"If I don't sit over there now, won't it look like Old Wang is being left out?"

Wang Ye had already been heading toward the back, but after muttering a few complaints, he resigned himself to taking a seat in the first row.

"Boss Ye, you came too." Wu Tianming was surprised.

Wang Ye resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Isn't it because of you two? If the teacher calls on me to answer a question, remember to help me out."

Luo Yao sat upright, turned to look at him, and said something that nearly made Wang Ye cough up blood. "How do I help?"

"It's fine, you don't need to help. Let Tianming help me." Luo Yao had frightened Wang Ye. Pulling tricks under the teacher's nose was not something he could involve Luo Yao in, so he hurriedly rejected his offer.

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

Xia Qing was the department head of Intelligent Integrated Systems, so Luo Yao's department had also been assigned to Intelligent Integrated Systems.

This was a physics class, so neither Wu Tianming nor Wang Ye had wanted to sit near the front.

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

Even so, Wang Ye was still afraid of university physics.

He felt that high school physics was child's play compared with university physics.

The moment the physics teacher, Ke Zhan, entered the classroom, the entire room fell silent.

"I heard our department has a top student who just joined us. Luo Yao, right?"

"Which student is that? Let me see."

Everyone in the classroom looked around curiously. A top student had joined them? How had they not known?

At university, people generally only knew their own roommates well.

They could not even recognize everyone in their department.

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

So it was that weirdo sitting in the first row.

A top student?

Everyone admitted into this department had good grades, okay?

When Ke Zhan noticed that the hand-raising Luo Yao was a delicate-looking young man, he set down his textbook and looked at him with great interest. "Very good, very good. I heard you're only sixteen and won first prize in mathematics, physics, and chemistry at the National Competition this time?"

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing that, the students in the classroom erupted in surprise.

"First prize in math, physics, and chemistry? What kind of monster is he?"

"Excuse me, I thought he was a top student, but he might actually be a genius!"

"Is he really that impressive? Could there be some exaggeration? I've never heard of anyone taking first place in all three subjects!"

"I don't know whether it's true, but since the teacher said it, it must be!"

After Ke Zhan signaled for everyone to quiet down, he said to Luo Yao, "Then I'm really looking forward to your performance. We're covering physics related to chips now. Can you keep up?"

"Yes, sir."

"If there's anything you don't understand, ask the students beside you after class."

Luo Yao shook his head and answered honestly, "That won't be necessary. I've already studied all the physics we're learning now on my own."

The instant Luo Yao finished speaking, the entire classroom became lively.

"Damn, this top student really doesn't spare anyone's feelings. He's already studied it all?"

"Even if he has, he didn't need to say it! It makes us look so stupid!"

"This top student is getting a little full of himself! Teacher Ke doesn't look too pleased!"

"I think he's definitely bragging! If he'd really studied it already, why would he still be hanging around with us first-years? Wouldn't it be better to go straight to the second year?"

Knowing things were going badly, Wu Tianming hurriedly tugged at Luo Yao's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.

Luo Yao looked at Wu Tianming innocently. "What's wrong? I'm telling the truth. Don't you believe me?"

Wu Tianming was annoyed and was about to speak when Ke Zhan opened his mouth.
