Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: The Complex Dilemmas of Chen Ye’s New Life

Chen Ye didn’t stay; he left the school directly.

The day of hero bonding is also the graduation day for all high school seniors.

He doesn’t need to come to school anymore!

As for the future…

In general, those who fail the hero bonding can continue to take the college entrance examination and go to university based on the previous scoring standards. Those who succeed in hero bonding can attend universities specialising in abilities.

For someone like Chen Ye, who successfully bonded with a C-level hero, it seems a bit tricky.

After all, in the era when C-level heroes were considered useless, no school would be willing to waste resources to train a student with no prospects. Especially considering Chen Ye’s choice of a C-level hero was broadcasted nationwide, making it a major embarrassment. Chen Ye has likely become a national laughingstock.

In this situation, no Ability Academy would be willing to bear the public opinion pressure and accept Chen Ye.

Chen Ye is well aware of his situation.

He doesn’t really mind, as he had no intention of staying in school anyway. As for becoming a national laughingstock… well, let’s see who dares to mock him three years later?

Currently, the only problem for Chen Ye is how to face his new life.

The previous personality was a bit twisted…

When bonding with the bald physique, Chen Ye’s mind also awakened the memories of the previous owner. According to the memories, this body’s parents are still alive, and there is an elder brother. It’s quite similar to Chen Ye’s previous family.

However, in this world, Chen Ye comes from a poor rural background, whereas the Chen family here is considered an influential family!

Whether it’s his father, mother, or older brother, they are all social elite figures. Perhaps because the previous owner was the youngest, everyone in the family, including parents and siblings, pampered him a lot. The previous owner was perceived as an excellent and outstanding son of Chen Ye.

However, it’s all a facade.

A child who grew up in an indulgent environment cannot be truly well-behaved. The previous owner was clever and good at disguising himself, and his true nature remained undiscovered.

Chen Ye has now inherited the memories of this body and knows “his” secrets. In reality, the previous owner had a slightly twisted psyche and, at the age of eighteen, was still maintaining unclear relationships with several women.

As a second-generation member, playing with a few women is nothing unusual. But if these women are older by several years, or even more than a decade, it’s abnormal. Moreover, these women were not only older but also married. Some even had living husbands…

The most outrageous part is that one of these women is his mother’s close friend!

When Chen Ye received these memories, he was dumbfounded. He admired the previous owner’s ability to court women, but the taste was… it was truly inexplicable, almost as if he had inherited Cao Mengde’s legacy.

Now the question is, how to deal with the relationships with these women? As a young man who abhors gambling and drugs, Chen Ye feels that he needs to thoroughly investigate the relationships with these women before making a decision…

Lost in his thoughts, Chen Ye’s phone suddenly rang.

Ding ling ling…

Chen Ye took out his phone and saw the caller ID was “Mom,” causing him a slight headache. As he hesitated whether to answer or not, the call ended. Soon after, a message arrived.

[Mom: Just choosing a C-level hero, no big deal. Don’t be too upset!]

Chen Ye: “…”

Originally, he had been thinking about what excuse to use when he went back to deceive his parents. In an elite family like this, suddenly having a disgraceful member like him would be unforgivable.

However, unexpectedly, the mother of this body turned out to be an indulgent parent. In their eyes, their child could do no wrong. It’s always the world that’s wrong!

So, Chen Ye felt relieved. To deal with such parents, he just needs to pretend to be upset when he goes home!

[Mom: When will you come back? I’ve bought your favourite Arctic fruit; it just arrived from the North Pole, very fresh.]

Another message arrived. Chen Ye thought for a moment and replied: [I’ll be back soon.]

Although his mature soul doesn’t need parents to take care of him, it’s not necessary to completely disassociate himself from his body’s parents. Taking over someone else’s body is already a bit too much; there’s no need to deny their existence altogether.

A moment later, a taxi arrived at the entrance of a high-end villa area.

Chen Ye got out of the taxi, walked into the neighbourhood confidently, followed the memories in his mind, and arrived at a luxurious five-story villa.

As he appeared at the entrance, a lady came out to greet him.

Seeing this lady, Chen Ye was surprised and subconsciously shouted: “Mom?”

This exclamation came from the bottom of his heart because this elegant lady in front of him looked exactly like his mother on Earth. If it weren’t for their different clothes and manners, he would have suspected that his mother had also travelled to this world.

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

Moreover, including fathers and brothers on both sides, their appearance and names were exactly the same.

Thinking about himself and the body named Chen Ye…

“So, is this actually a parallel world? The body I’ve taken over belongs to the ‘me’ in another world?”

Chen Ye speculated silently.

“Son, you’ve finally come back!”

Seeing Chen Ye’s confused expression, Yang Rongzhi thought her son had suffered some kind of setback. She quickly comforted him: “Those online netizens just like to talk nonsense. Son, don’t take it to heart.”

Netizens?

Chen Ye hadn’t paid much attention to them.

However, the online evaluation of him must not be good. Probably, his mother saw those comments and thought he couldn’t bear the online criticism, so she was afraid he might be upset.

Considering this, Chen Ye didn’t explain and said, “Mom, I’m a bit tired. I want to rest in my room for a while.”

“Sure, sure, you should rest well…”

Yang Rongzhi nodded repeatedly, then asked again, “Son, do you want to eat something before resting?”

“No need, Mom. I’m not hungry right now.”
