Chen Ye didn't linger and left the school directly.

The day of Hero Aptitude was also the graduation day for all third-year high school students.

He didn't need to come to school anymore!

As for the future...

Under normal circumstances.

Those who failed Hero Aptitude could still participate in the college entrance examination and attend university based on their previous scores.

Those who succeeded in Hero Aptitude could all attend universities specializing in supernatural abilities.

For someone like Chen Ye, who succeeded in Aptitude with a C-class Hero... it seemed a bit tricky?

After all.

In an era where C-class Heroes were widely considered useless, it was unlikely any school would want to waste resources cultivating a student with no future.

Especially since Chen Ye's choice of a C-class Hero was a "feat" performed under a national live broadcast.

Chen Ye had probably already become a national laughingstock.

In such a situation, no supernatural ability academy would dare to accept Chen Ye under the pressure of public opinion.

Regarding his own situation.

Chen Ye was well aware of it.

He didn't care, as he had no intention of staying in school anyway. As for becoming a national laughingstock... he'd see who dared to mock him in three years?

For Chen Ye now, the only difficulty was how to face his new life!

How to put it?

The personality of his predecessor was a bit twisted...

When he previously underwent Aptitude for the Bald Physique, Chen Ye's mind also awakened the memories of his predecessor.

According to the memories, this body's parents were still alive, and he had an older brother.

It was quite similar to Chen Ye's previous family.

However, Chen Ye on Earth came from a poor peasant background.

Here, the Chen family could definitely be considered a prominent one!

Whether it was his father, mother, or elder brother, they were all elite members of society.

Perhaps because his predecessor was the youngest, everyone in the family doted on him, the youngest son.

And his predecessor had always behaved well, with no bad habits, was sensible, filial, had good academic performance, and was also handsome.

In everyone's eyes, he was Chairman Chen's good son, outstanding and excellent.

However, this was all a facade.

How could a child raised in an environment of pampering be a well-behaved child?

It was just that his predecessor was very smart and good at disguising himself, so no one had ever discovered it.

Chen Ye had received the memories of this body.

Naturally, he also knew "his" secrets.

In reality, his predecessor was a bit psychologically twisted. Having just reached adulthood, he was still maintaining ambiguous relationships with several women.

As a second-generation, playing around with a few women was not a big deal.

But if these women were all several years older than his predecessor, or even more than ten years older, it would be abnormal.

And.

Besides being older, these women also had another characteristic: they were married.

Some of these women's husbands were still alive...

The most outrageous thing was that one of these women was his mother's best friend!!

When Chen Ye received these memories, he was stunned.

He was completely impressed by his predecessor's ability to pick up women.

It's just that his predecessor's taste was truly... deeply inherited from Cao Mengde, making it difficult to describe.

Now the problem arises.

Among these women, there was his mother's best friend, and the wife of his father's subordinate... No matter which illicit relationship it was, it was playing with fire.

Once exposed, Chairman Chen and his wife would probably disown him and purge the family.

Therefore, how should the relationships with these women be handled next?

As a fine young man who was at odds with gambling and drugs, Chen Ye felt that his relationships with those women needed to be thoroughly researched before making a decision...

Lost in thought.

Suddenly.

The phone in his pocket rang.

"Ring ring..."

Chen Ye took out his phone and saw the caller ID was "Mom," which immediately gave him a headache.

Just as he was hesitating whether to answer, the call was hung up from the other side.

Then, a message came through.

[Son, it's just about choosing a C-class Hero, it's no big deal. Don't do anything rash!]

Chen Ye: "..."

He had been thinking about what excuse to use to lie to his parents when he got back.

In a family full of elites, suddenly having a disgrace like a husky was unforgivable.

He had even prepared to run away from home.

He hadn't expected that the mother of this body would be an overly doting parent.

Normally, in the eyes of such parents, their own children never did anything wrong.

The fault was always with the world!

So, Chen Ye felt relieved.

To deal with parents like this, he just needed to pretend to be sad when he got home!

[Son, when are you coming back? Mom bought your favorite Icefield Fruit. It was just shipped from the North Pole, very fresh.]

Another message arrived.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and replied: [I'll be back right away.]

Although his soul was mature and he could take care of himself without his parents, Still, he felt a bit guilty for occupying someone else's body, and there was no need to disown their parents.

A moment later.

A taxi arrived outside a high-end villa complex.

Chen Ye got out of the taxi, swaggered into the complex, and followed the memories in his mind to a luxurious five-story villa.

As soon as he appeared at the villa's main entrance, a noblewoman came out to greet him.

Seeing this noblewoman, Chen Ye was startled and subconsciously called out:

"Mom?"

This cry came from his heart.

Because.

This noblewoman in front of him looked exactly like his mother back on Earth.

If it weren't for the completely different clothing and demeanor, he would have suspected that his own mom had also transmigrated.

At the same time, Chen Ye finally remembered that the names of both mothers were the same, both named "Yang Rongzhi."

Not only that, but the appearances and names of the fathers and brothers on both sides were also identical.

Coupled with the fact that he and this body were both named Chen Ye...

'So, this is actually a parallel world? The body I'm occupying is another version of me from another world?'

Chen Ye secretly guessed.

"Son, you're finally back!"

Seeing Chen Ye's bewildered expression, Yang Rongzhi thought her son had suffered some blow and was heartbroken. She quickly said, "Those netizens online just like to spout nonsense. Son, don't take it to heart."

Netizens?

Chen Ye hadn't paid attention to them at all.

However, he could imagine that the comments about him online wouldn't be good.

He figured his mom must have seen them and thought he couldn't handle the cyberbullying, which is why she was afraid he'd do something rash.

After thinking about it, Chen Ye didn't explain and said, "Mom, I'm a bit tired and want to go to my room to rest for a while."

"Okay, okay, you really should rest well..."

Yang Rongzhi nodded repeatedly, then added, "Son, do you want to eat something before resting?"

"No need, Mom, I'm not hungry right now."
