Chapter 11: Give It a Try (2/2)

Yang Ming immediately relaxed after solving his problem. He was starting to feel alive without the pressure to study.

Now that he had this special ability, could he make some money?

Since many protagonists in novels became millionaires - even billionaires - by the virtue of their special abilities. Could he do the same with his ability?

Yang Ming pondered about his ability. A clear vision of a distant object was not a marketable skill. What was the point even if he could look up at the moon? However, aside from the telescopic vision, he still had the x-ray ability.

X-ray - what can I do with it? Gamble? This wasn’t a bad idea, but this place isn’t like Macau and he didn’t have real cash so the idea was temporarily abandoned.

After he thought about it for the entire morning, Yang Ming couldn’t figure out how to make use of his ability aside from cheating on exams but he was not discouraged. He still had time and it will come in handy someday.

Yang Ming was unprecedentedly not skipping class today so Chen Mengyan didn’t trouble him. But Yang Ming felt like he was missing something; he really wasn't used to it. Usually, Chen Mengyan was watching him, but suddenly, no one was doing it.

Yang Ming tore out a piece of paper from his notebook and wrote, “I am going to study properly for you! -Yang Ming.”

After a few thoughts, Yang Ming ripped out two words from the note, folded it and asked Zhang Bing to pass it to Chen Mengyan.

Zhang Bing smiled creepily and passed the paper slip away. While Chen Mengyan was doing some exercise problems, someone unexpectedly passed her a note. She received it with hesitation.

When Chen Mengyan opened the note, her little face went red quickly. Although the note wasn’t signed with a name, how could Chen Mengyan not know who wrote this!?

What did he mean? Was he proposing to me? Should I tell him not to have any improper thoughts? But if I did that would I be letting him down? Now that he had decided to study well, would he feel frustrated if I blocked off his intentions without mercy and then give up again?

Chen Mengyan thoughts struggled for half day. How did she know Yang Ming was only looking for trouble from her? Kindhearted Chen Mengyan reluctantly stared back at Yang Ming, and wrote on the paper, “Hope you don’t give up halfway.”

Yang Ming was delighted to receive the note. No rejection means she acknowledged it silently. It seemed she was quite reserved.

Yang Ming didn’t forget that he had tutoring from a pretty lady. Filled with Ah Q’s spirit [1], he happily walked toward the faculty building. Yang Ming hummed a song as he walked toward Zhao Ying’s office. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard someone speak inside.

“Zhao Ying, I have ordered food and wine at Heaven's Paradise tonight. I’m inviting you to dinner…” A man’s voice came out of office.

“I’m sorry. Tonight I’m busy; I still have to give supplementary homework to a student,” answered Zhao Ying with a cold and icy voice.

“Aiya. It’s just a broken student. Simply find a reason to dismiss him. Why do you have to spend so much effort!?” asked the man.
