Chapter 178 Decades of struggle, not as good as my words
Seeing the box door open, Ou Haochen subconsciously saw that Peng Liang and Wei Shishi were walking in front. He just nodded lightly, but when the last person walked into the box, his eyes sharply focused and his pupils shrank.
"Ye Chen?"
"Ye Chen?"
Ou Haochen's eyes suddenly narrowed and his expression changed drastically.
In this college entrance examination, he won the first prize in one fell swoop, won the provincial champion, and scored historically high scores. It can be said that he was very proud of himself. He received great attention and numerous praises from both school and society.
Today, he also initiated a class reunion. It was called a class reunion. In fact, he wanted to show off and see how his classmates fawned over him. He really enjoyed this feeling of being in the clouds.
But the young man standing at the door now made him feel complicated and confused. He really didn't expect that Ye Chen, who had disappeared for more than nine months, would suddenly appear at the class reunion.
The other students around also saw the existence of this former male god of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School, and all of them looked surprised.
"Is it Ye Chen?"
"How could it be him? He hasn't been seen for more than nine months!"
"Yes, I heard that he dropped out of school and left Lucheng. Why is he back now?"
All the eyes in the box were focused on Ye Chen, and the classmates whispered, after all, Ye Chen was too dazzling in the No. 3 Middle School. He defeated the karate team of No. 1 Middle School by one person, and amazed everyone with his song at the school anniversary party.
He even got a high score of 749 in the exam, ranking among the highest scores in the history of the mid-term monthly exam. Even Ou Haochen, who is now the provincial champion, was once suppressed by Ye Chen and could not hold his head up.
Now that this legend, which had disappeared for nine months, reappeared, everyone felt a sigh of relief and a feeling that things were different and people were different.
When Du Jiajia saw Ye Chen coming with Peng Liang, her expression was very unnatural, but as a former class leader, she still took the initiative to get up.
"It turns out to be Ye Chen. It's been such a long time since I last saw you. You've been gone for so long. Many classmates are talking about you. Sit down, sit down!"
With a smile on her face, she invited Ye Chen to take a seat.
Ye Chen nodded and sat together with Peng Liang and Wei Shishi. The other female classmates who had "missed" Ye Chen all looked at Ye Chen strangely.
Indeed, at that time, Ye Chen could be said to be extremely popular in No. 3 Middle School, and one person overshadowed all the influential figures. Even the school beauties Gu Mengyao and Xiao Wenyue had a close relationship with him, which attracted everyone's attention.
Especially after Ye Chen's grades reached the top, beating Ou Haochen, many girls present regarded him as the best candidate for their boyfriend. With Ye Chen's grades, it is certain that he will enter a prestigious school and achieve a career in the future.
Coupled with Ye Chen's good looks and talent, who wouldn't be tempted?
It's a pity that these girls now look at Ye Chen as if they were looking at a past regret. After all, Ye Chen has been away for too long, and the original halo has long passed. Nine months is enough for people to forget many things.
After Ye Chen took his seat, he greeted a few classmates with whom he had interacted, then sat aside quietly, occasionally saying a few words to Peng Liang and Wei Shishi, but as for the others, he paid no attention to them at all.
At the dinner table, Ou Haochen enjoyed the toasts of his classmates. Even Peng Liang had a drink with Ou Haochen, but Ye Chen remained unmoved and just drank by himself. He turned his eyes and looked at Ye Chen
.
"Ye Chen!"
He raised his glass and looked directly at Ye Chen, his eyes no longer fearful at first, but instead looked down and peaceful.
"To be honest, I, Ou Haochen, rarely admire others, but you, Ye Chen, are the only one I admire in school!"
"In No. 3 Middle School, I ranked first in my grade for two and a half years, but I completely lost my bet with you!"
Although he was talking about his history of failure, he did not sound defeated, but rather a little proud.
"But I want to thank you for bringing me that failure, which made me face myself again, abandon all magazines, and focus on studying!"
"Without the failure you gave me, I might not have won the provincial champion this time. Maybe even now, I would still be wasting my talents and talents!"
"Ye Chen, I must say thank you to you. I toast you with this cup!"
After Ou Haochen finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.
When Ye Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up in a joking manner, which he felt was a bit funny.
Ou Haochen's gratitude to him was not sincere at all. Instead, it was filled with the tone of a winner to a loser. From the perspective of a successful person, he showed off his achievements to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen shook the wine glass gently and took a sip without even looking at Ou Haochen.
Ou Haochen didn't care. Ye Chen's appearance at the moment seemed to him like he was having a bad temper because of his failure.
He put down his glass and pretended to sigh: "What I regret most is that you have left school. Otherwise, I really want to compete with you in this college entrance examination!"
"I think it's a pity for you. You have such good results. If you stay and take the college entrance examination, you can not only win the provincial top prize, but at least you can choose from a prestigious school. But now... ugh!"
He sighed and shook his head, seemingly feeling sorry for Ye Chen, but actually he was sarcastic about Ye Chen.
Many classmates also believed it, and some boys even laughed secretly in their hearts. Ye Chen was so arrogant at the beginning and dominated the No. 3 Middle School, but now, he is just a has-been campus idol.
No matter how strong Ye Chen's halo was at the beginning, it has become a thing of the past. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is the eternal iron law.
Many years later, no one will remember Ye Chen who scored an incredible score in the monthly exam, but they will only remember Ou Haochen who became the provincial champion.
Some female classmates who still had thoughts about Ye Chen gave up their thoughts after hearing this, and their eyes became cold.
Ye Chen didn't care and continued to eat and drink as if he hadn't heard anything, but Peng Liang next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ou Haochen, what do you mean by this!"
He looked angry and glared at Ou Haochen.
"We are all classmates. When I hear what you are saying, why does it seem like you are mocking Brother Chen?"
"I don't want to think about the bet you two made and saw Brother Chen ranked first in the monthly exam with 749 points. Who quit the elite class in despair?"
Ou Haochen was not angry at all, but smiled lightly and said: "Peng Liang, I didn't mean that. I feel sorry for Ye Chen from the bottom of my heart!"
"There are many paths to take in life, but choosing the wrong one may lead to completely different results. With Ye Chen's grades, he can definitely go further, but he chose to drop out of school when he was at his peak. I believe it is not just me.
It’s a pity, many students present also think so, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, several licking dogs responded.
"That's not true. Being strong at the beginning doesn't have much effect. You have to laugh until the end to be truly capable!"
"Yes, brother Ou directly entered Huaqing's special training class this year. The students there are top students from all over the country. But like Ye Chen, even if he wants to repeat his studies, he will probably have to wait for a year.
!”
These people are Ou Haochen's daily followers. Ou Haochen looks elegant, but in fact he always has a grudge against Ye Chen. Now that he can find an opportunity to step on Ye Chen, how can he let it go?
Du Jiajia's expression changed. She used to have some affection for Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen was the only person who could completely defeat Ou Haochen. But now, Ye Chen is just an ant after the fall, and has long lost his original charm.
"you……"
Peng Liang was furious. He originally wanted to ask Ye Chen to attend the class reunion to have fun, and then go to the bar to chat and have fun, but he did not expect that Ye Chen would become the target of ridicule and ridicule.
