If we haven't found anyone from the future who has traveled back in time, then it means that humans went extinct before we invented time travel — Hawking.

Li Ye lowered his head and stared blankly at the dilapidated table in front of him. He hadn't moved his gaze for a long time.

This is a two-person desk, with clear, artificial scratches on it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The shape of the etchings is chaotic, and the ink stains inside should come from different students and different eras.

The hierarchical iteration renders a blend of colors, imbued with an abstract artistic sensibility, as if condensing the mundane pasts of countless youthful greens.

On the desk lay a sheet of paper, not the kind mechanically stamped with lead, but an “oil-printed” one that Li Ye had only heard about from his parents before.

Oil-printed paper is made by first using a metal pen to engrave characters on thin wax paper. Then, a manual oil printing press is used to transfer ink through the wax paper and onto sheets of white paper.

This kind of paper was crudely made, the ink easily smudged, but it was cheap and convenient, so it was very popular in the 1980s.

That's right, the 1980s.

Li Ye slowly raised his head, looking at the portrait of a leading cadre from that era hanging above the blackboard in front. He still couldn't believe that his soul had traveled to an alternate 1981, becoming a high school repeater with the same name and surname.

The yellowish walls, the mottled blackboard, the dilapidated desks, and all those "rough around the edges" students staring back at him gave Li Ye a strong psychological shock. Even after being in this world for quite some time, his soul and memory hadn't fully merged.

Li Ye reached out his hand, and the sleeve of his shirt rolled up to reveal a section of arm that belonged uniquely to a young boy.

The skin is firm and elastic, with long and beautiful muscle lines. The blue veins under the epidermis are faintly visible.

With such a low body fat percentage and such good skin, if you were reborn in the past life, you wouldn't have given the gym a single W without spending hundreds of private lessons with six or seven handsome coaches to achieve this level.

Once upon a time, Li Ye, who regretted prematurely graying his hair due to staying up late, couldn't help but sigh in his heart...... Youth is so good!

"Human, none of us in the class got this problem right. What did you come up with?"

"I don't really understand this hyperbola thing. I think it should...."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I thought at the time too, but we didn't have enough time to make it happen...."

“This method is wrong, that's how I understand it, not a single bit…”

The intense buzz of discussion pulled Li Ye back from his chaotic thoughts.

The Traveler's Law One: Adapt to this society, starting with the people around you.

Li Ye turned his head and, peering through the gaps between a few classmates, quickly grasped the ins and outs of that hyperbolic curve math problem.

Seeing several classmates frowning and scratching their heads but to no avail, Li Ye leaned in and grabbed a pen, starting to write down equations.

>

>“Actually, this problem is quite simple. We already know the right focus of the hyperbola C1... Point M(3, t) lies on the hyperbola C1, so we can set up an equation to find the square of t, and then...”

Here's the translation, keeping your original HTML tags: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A profound silence, so deep that even a pin dropping could be heard.

Li Ye's equation hadn't been finished before he was forced to stop.

Because several classmates who had been passionately discussing just moments ago were all staring at him with strange eyes, as if he were a rare animal.

A few seconds later, Hu Man who was sitting behind Li Ye reached out and grabbed the pen from Li Ye's hand, silently pulling it back.

This pen is hers, a Hero brand fountain pen, and she dislikes lending it to others.

And the other students who were participating in the discussion all turned their heads and continued discussing, without paying any attention to Li Ye's words.

This is so embarrassing!

I was kind enough to explain the topic to you, and this is how you treat me? Am I invisible?

"Li Ye, you made a mistake yourself, how dare you explain the questions to Hu Man and the others? What is this called? That's right, a blind man riding a blind horse!"

Words of a strange and eerie nature came from the back of the classroom.

Li Ye was stunned, glancing back to see a boy whose clothes and hairstyle were incredibly out of fashion, with a full-on "middle school angst" vibe plastered all over his face.

He Weiguo, a student who had repeated two years due to poor grades, was a troublemaker who often teased his classmates because his uncle was a teacher at their school. He wasn't worth paying attention to.

>

Li Ye turned his head and looked at his stamped document again.

28 minutes.

Two scarlet numbers, stood proudly upon the scroll emanating the scent of ink.

Oh well.

Li Ye remained silent.

Back then, when I was obsessed with World of Warcraft and King of Glory, I never scored this badly on any exam, right?

Looking at those wrong answers, I'm speechless.

Unclear problem statement, incorrect formulas, finally got the solution direction right, but made a calculation mistake. With this level of competence, how dare you have the courage to retake the exam? Wouldn't it be better to go work in a factory and screw bolts?

But Li Ye fell silent, while the man behind him wouldn't let it go.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Li Ye, are you still hoping to pass the exam and go to Beijing to find Lu Jingyao? You're good at language, could you explain to me... what does 'a toad wanting to eat swan meat' mean?"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

In the silent classroom, there was a burst of laughter.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Not only the last row of the classroom, but even several boys around Li Ye let out stifled snickers.

On the other hand, Hu Man who had retrieved the pen, along with several other girls, all had furrowed brows and expressions of displeasure.

And Li Ye's mind, as if pricked by a needle, ached for a moment.

This string appears to be a simple HTML tag.It represents a paragraph break, closing the previous paragraph. The text content within this tag would be replaced with whatever you want to write in a new paragraph.

After transmigrating, Li Ye's brain felt like a computer. Whether it was the subtle memories from his past life or fragments of the original owner's spiritual inheritance, they were all stored on the hard drive. As long as he needed them, he could retrieve them clearly and distinctly.

A series of images flashed through Li Ye's mind, showing him the past interactions between the original owner and Lu Jingyao.

"The first sword to land, would it strike the person within one's heart first?"

Li Ye shook his head and smiled it off.

In this day and age, knowing one's place and returning to the city can be enough to get rid of ruthlessness. What more could one say about someone who has leaped over the dragon gate and become a "public official"?

"Brother, go in peace! It's not worth it for a woman like this."

Li Ye had abundant "repeated failure and repeated fighting" experience in his previous life. He had seen countless "scum women" and "tea-loving bitches," and he was immune to the foolish behavior of being hurt by love. He wouldn't engage in unnecessary arguments over such matters.

And with Li Ye's soft murmur, that stinging thread of obsession dissipated like smoke.

But the tree wants to be still, and the wind doesn't stop.

Li Ye's calm and composed demeanor, however, made He Weiguo in the back feel provoked.

Please provide the content you would like me to translate. I'm ready! ?

He simply got up and walked to Li Ye's side, reaching out to take his paper.

"28 points, not bad at all! You improved by 7 points after retaking the exam for a year, 14 points after two years, and... 3 years of retakes... Lu Jingyao must have graduated already...... Haha....... Sigh...... Sigh sigh...... Let go, let go....... "

Li Ye's hand gripped He Weiguo's, bending two of his fingers before slowly standing up. He stared coldly at He Weiguo, who was grinning menacingly.

"Let go...... hiss...... let go....... grass...... Lü Jingyao...."

He Wei Guo's fingers had been twisted by Li Ye to the point of almost being deformed. He wanted to fight back, but the pain in his hand made him weak and unable to move.

And compared to the pain in his body, He Guoxin's fear in his heart was even stronger.

If it had been more than half a year ago, He Weiguo would not have dared to provoke Li Ye. Li Ye's fists were unusually hard.

Although the original owner looked thin, he was not a weak and feeble young man who could be easily overpowered.

Li Ye's father and grandfather were both soldiers. His grandfather practiced martial arts when he was young, and later became a master who taught many disciples.

Li Ye had been trained by his grandfather since he was a child. He wasn't exactly a master martial artist, but he rarely lost in a fight growing up.

>

But ever since He Weiguo discovered Li Ye's "weak point," he felt like he had a bull by the nose, able to make as much of a show of himself as he wanted.

This fatal flaw is Lu Jingyao. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

After repeating a grade, whenever someone brought up Lü Jingyao, Li Ye would fight them. After each fight, rumors spread through school that "Lü Jingyao went to the capital and dumped Li Ye."

In this era, with few entertainment options available, the power of gossip and rumors was immense. Every time Li Ye found himself in an awkward situation, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Moreover, fighting in school is after all a bad behavior. If you fight too hard, your parents will be called. After several times, not only will your family members blame Li Ye, but even the teacher's eyes will look at Li Ye differently from before.

At seventeen or eighteen, the mind is most sensitive. The once kind young man finally becomes self-conscious, introverted, and depressed. He can only swallow his angry roar in his chest.

He wants to go to university, he's going to BJ, he can't afford to ruin everything because of trouble and lose this precious, pure love.

But suppressed forbearance will only bring about increasingly rampant bullying.

Aren't you handsome? Don't you charm the girls? Aren't you mine to touch and squeeze as I please?

Your custom-made eye-catching bag, not letting you down no matter who you stand up to.

He Weiguo, who had been jealous of Li Ye for a long time, found an opportunity to show himself.

Li Ye scored well, and he would make strange noises: "Yo yo yo, are you going to take the exam to go to the capital to find Lu Jingyao?"

Li Ye's grades were poor, and he would gloat again: "With your terrible grades, you still want to find Lu Jingyao?"

>

Every time He Weiguo deliberately provoked a dispute and watched Li Ye clench his fists but endure the humiliation, his heart felt as sweet as honey.

He Weiguo believed that he was already the "big brother" of the whole class, and could gain the admiration of everyone, especially all the girls.

Now, He Guoguo looked into Li Ye's eyes, but her heart couldn't help but pound.

It's too calm.

There was no trace of self-doubt, pain, or anger in Li Ye's eyes, only terrifying calmness and indifference. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

At this moment, He Weiguo felt that Li Ye in front of him was as terrifying as the tigers in the provincial zoo.

Though tigers appear lazy and inactive, that's because they are full and too content to move.

When a tiger truly locks eyes with you, that gaze of an apex predator at the top of the food chain can magnify your fear to the point where you feel compelled to clench your legs together, lest you soil yourself.

To be frank, Li Ye, who has lived two lifetimes, was in a completely different league when it came to spiritual power compared to He Weiguo, just a high school student. It wasn't even about being able to kill with a glance; they simply weren't on the same level.

He Weizhi was scared, he was really scared.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He's afraid that the hot-headed young man who could break bricks with one hand is back.

“The teacher is here!”

As soon as the student's alarm went off, a thin little old man appeared at the classroom door.

What are you up to? Are you all looking for a fight?

A group of students who were watching the commotion suddenly scattered like frightened birds, rushing back to their seats and pretending to be well-behaved.

In this day and age, there's no such thing as "physical punishment." Teachers naturally don't have the heart to guide disobedient students. Standing as a punishment is lenient; a good slap across the face is the correct way to open up the situation.

The disciplined student wouldn't dare to tell their parents. If they did, the parents would subject them to further, harsher education, adding insult to injury.

"The teacher is here, you.... let go...."

He Weiguo saw a glimmer of hope and began to struggle desperately, trying to muddy the waters and frame Li Ye as the "perpetrator."

Li Yemo released He Weiguo's hand, just nodded slightly to the old man, then sat down.

In his previous life in China, Li Ye had also been bullied at school. Of course, he knew how to deal with this kind of thing.

This is an example.

The less you make of it, the better. The more you fear it, the worse it gets.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The old man was taken aback. Li Ye's nonchalance was clearly very unexpected to him.

He had a deep impression of Li Ye. Logically, Li Ye should be feeling flustered and at a loss right now. Most students would react that way.

But looking at Li Ye's current appearance, he doesn't look like a normal student's reaction at all, but rather like a wise man who has gone through wind and rain.

"Class monitor, what's going on?"

Hu Man stood up and replied, "Teacher Hu, just now He Weiguo ridiculed Li Ye...ridiculed him for not doing well on the exam. Li Ye was sick this time, that's why he didn't do well..."

This time, it was Li Ye's turn to be surprised.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The little girl who had just taken the pen from his hand was now clearly leaning toward him as she spoke.

“I’m sick,” but a foolproof excuse for a poor student.

This is the translated text.

Of course, the original owner has recently had a fever, and it was so bad that they got a new soul.

But He Guoli immediately interjected, "Li Ye only developed a fever after the exam...."

"Alright!"

Mr. Hu impatiently interrupted He Weiguo, sarcastically saying, "He Weiguo, are you still laughing at others? Get back to your seat."

After returning to the back row of the classroom with a huff, He Weiguo didn't forget to glare at Li Ye with a "just wait and see" look.

Li Ye doesn't flinch!

In this era, who among children hasn't gotten into a fight!

It's better to prevent a hundred punches with one than to receive them all.

This body's physical strength is quite high, as long as you don't back down, dominating the Bluebell isn't a dream.

As for the teacher's attitude, Li Ye believed that after he revealed his academic excellence, the school would understand his difficulties.

“This mock exam was a bit difficult, but it was closer to the real college entrance exam. Many students only scored in the teens or twenties...”

Of course, grades don't represent everything. Some students still have huge potential, like Li Ye student.

Although he only scored twenty-eight points, which seems a little low, his progress compared to before is very significant. As long as he continues to work hard, passing the pre-examination is still very hopeful, and it's not impossible to get into a college or technical school.

Li Ye was a little stunned.

28 minutes.......A lot of progress? A little?

Dear Teacher Hu, you are so kind and comforting.

But you said I could get into a high school vocational school? Or is that "possible"?

What are you kidding me? ?

Although high school students take the exam for senior high schools, vocational schools, and colleges, which is different from what junior high school students take, I'm a second-year student who has fought my way through mountains of books in the new century. You want me to take the exam for vocational school?

I shouldn't have not gotten a national key exam, after so many years my PE teacher has taught me.
