After the soul swap, I became stronger (5): 47: When it comes to nonsense, I’m a professional!

After the long break ended, those students who had trouble with Si Qi couldn’t hide their miserable appearance, and soon caught the attention of the teachers and other students around them.

Due to Si Qi’s threat, this group of people didn’t dare to say a word. They only claimed that these injuries were caused by their own group accidentally while fooling around. The people around them were taken aback, looking at these guys as if they were fools.

——They couldn’t even lie convincingly.

Because there were so many injured people, and they were all friends who usually hung out together and had a good relationship, a teacher privately asked other students what exactly happened.

Soon, the teachers heard the name “Si Qi” from a few students, who said that these people had found Si Qi during the big break and taken him to a corner of the teaching building where no one usually went. When they returned, Si Qi was unharmed, but this group of people had bruised faces and looked severely beaten.

This was equivalent to solving the case.

——Who was Si Qi?

Because of his good grades, the school specifically spent money to bring in this sponsored student, hoping that he could achieve excellent results in the future college entrance examination and help the school gain fame. He had an accident and was in a car crash a while ago, and hasn’t been to school for over two months.

Who would have thought that as soon as he recovered and returned to school, he would start picking fights? wasn’t this just him repeatedly testing the teachers’ patience and deliberately trying to annoy them?

Originally, students receiving financial aid were held to stricter standards at school, with specific requirements for academic performance, number of absences, and even discipline points.

Moreover, Si Qi had missed over two months of classes in one go, and his grades must have dropped significantly. Instead of focusing on studying hard to make up for it, he went around causing trouble everywhere. It was really frustrating no matter how you look at it.

In the afternoon, during the second period, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Huang, walked into the classroom with the lesson plan.

He looked down at the students and, at first glance, saw a particularly outstanding young man. Instinctively, he wondered who this person was and how he ended up in his class to attend the lesson.

Then he clearly saw that the person was Si Qi, and couldn’t help but click his tongue in his heart.

He said in English: “Turn to page eighty-seven.”

They had an international school here, with separate branches for elementary and middle school. Nearly half of the students had progressed through the grades in this way, so the teaching content could be smoothly continued. Whether it was full-time foreign language instruction or courses in art and physical education, the students could easily keep up with the curriculum.

The Child of the World transferred here halfway through and found that much of what was taught in this school was different from what was taught in the outside schools. Not to mention, in English class, the teacher naturally conducted the entire lesson in a foreign language, forcing the students to respond in a foreign language as well, which was quite a challenge for the Child of the World.

For a long time, his English grades were not good, and when answering the teacher’s questions, he was completely clueless, which was far below the standard expected of a scholarship student. His accent was so heavily influenced by Chinese pronunciation that no matter how much he was corrected, it remained the same. To make matters worse, his family couldn’t afford professional tutoring, which made the teacher very dissatisfied.

At this moment, a group of students below were flipping through their textbooks noisily, while Si Qi, as in the previous few classes, was still with his arms crossed, “resting with his eyes closed.”

The teacher, who already had a grudge against Si Qi, became even more irritated and directly called him out, saying, “Si Qi, everyone else is flipping through their books, and you’re just sitting there with your eyes closed pretending to be cool? Do you think you’re so impressive like this? If you want to sleep, go home and sleep! Don’t disrupt everyone’s studying here.”

The tone of this sentence was filled with annoyance. If any other student heard it, they probably wouldn’t feel good about it. Everyone couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards Si Qi.

In the past, Si Qi had a twisted personality, always making people feel a bit insincere. Sometimes, he would speak in a sarcastic manner, almost like he had a grudge against the rich. Everyone knew his family was poor, and seeing him made them feel a bit uneasy, so they would tolerate him as much as possible and wouldn’t take it too seriously. They just couldn’t get close to him.

But today, for some reason, these people, upon seeing Si Qi, felt that he was actually quite a good person. When they saw Teacher Huang suddenly causing trouble for Si Qi, who was quietly resting there, they couldn’t help but feel a tightness in their hearts and started to worry for Si Qi.

A girl said, “Teacher, Si Qi is not feeling well.”

Another person said, “Yeah, he was injured for so long, it’s already quite difficult for him to come to school and study.”

“Uncomfortable?” The homeroom teacher chuckled, thinking to himself that he had the strength to take on four people at once, and he was quite capable, so how could he be uncomfortable? He directly said, “I think he’s doing just fine!”

Seeing that this person was clearly determined to cling on, Si Qi, somewhat impatiently, casually opened the book and pretended to be ready to listen.

The homeroom teacher saw Si Qi’s attitude and gave him a disapproving glare. During the lecture, he occasionally glanced at Si Qi. Halfway through the class, he called out Si Qi’s name: “Si Qi, stand up and answer this section.”

Si Qi hadn’t been paying attention in class earlier, and now suddenly being called on, he didn’t even know what the teacher was asking. After standing up, Si Qi paused for two seconds without saying anything (actually listening to Xiu Xiu’s summary), the classmate next to him quickly lowered his voice to remind him, “The teacher wants you to describe the situation during the Renaissance…”

The teacher above sneered and said, “You really weren’t paying attention. If that’s the case, why even come to school? Isn’t your bed at home more comfortable than a desk?”

A student defended Si Qi: “Teacher, Si Qi didn’t come to school yesterday and didn’t study yesterday’s lesson, so it’s normal that he can’t answer.”

Teacher Huang, dissatisfied, tapped the podium with the textbook, ready to seize the opportunity to elaborate, when he suddenly heard Si Qi slowly speaking in fluent, rhythmic, and more elegant and refined terms than even a native foreigner: “The Renaissance refers to a European intellectual and cultural movement that occurred from the 14th to the 17th century, reflecting the demands of the emerging bourgeoisie. People at that time believed that the arts had flourished during the classical Greek and Roman periods but had declined and faded during the medieval ‘Dark Ages.’ It was not until the 14th century that they experienced a ‘rebirth’ and ‘revival,’ hence the term ‘Renaissance.’”

A pleasant voice always effortlessly captures people’s attention. When Si Qi spoke a foreign language, it sounded as natural and familiar as speaking his mother tongue. Moreover, his tone carried an effortless ease, as if a poet reciting beautiful poetry, exuding an indescribable sense of casual elegance.

The students, who were already used to Si Qi’s heavily accented foreign language, all stared blankly at Si Qi, including Teacher Huang, who was full of grievances and wanted to vent.

Si Qi: “……It brought about a revolutionary period in science and art, marking the beginning of modern European history. It is considered the boundary between the Middle Ages and modern times. It is also one of the three major movements of intellectual liberation in Western Europe (the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment).”

Reaching this point, Si Qi tilted his head, looked at the teacher with an innocent expression, and said with a smile, “Teacher? Do you think my answer is correct?”

Teacher Huang: “…………”

Teacher Huang was momentarily bewildered, listening in stunned silence for a while. The more he listened, the more he felt that Si Qi’s spoken language skills were simply top-notch, no, they should be considered elite. They were not much worse than his own, a high-achieving student who had returned from studying abroad, and in fact, they might even be better.

This, how was this possible??

Teacher Huang looked at Si Qi with a hint of a smile in his eyes, then saw that all the surrounding students were looking at Si Qi with incredulous expressions. He cleared his throat twice and said somewhat awkwardly, “Very good, your answer is correct.”

After finishing speaking, he couldn’t help but take another look at the boy who was clean and pure all over, with an indescribably clear and innocent demeanor. He began to doubt whether he was being overly suspicious, as his judgment of Si Qi had changed so drastically based on just a difference in his spoken language skills.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he had too many biases against his student in the past, always thinking this child had impure thoughts and a sinister look in his eyes—when he was clearly quite innocent?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have wronged Si Qi in the past. Teacher Huang looked at Si Qi with some embarrassment and remedied, “So you have already learned this part of the text. No wonder you were resting with your eyes closed earlier… Hmm, very good. Everyone should learn from classmate Si Qi—Si Qi, if you are tired, just take a break, it’s okay.”

Si Qi couldn’t help but laugh, nodded, and said, “Thank you, teacher.” Although he didn’t close his eyes, he indeed stopped paying attention to the class.

He still needed to study the medicine of this world.

After class, Teacher Huang went to teach in the next class and happened to meet the math teacher coming out from inside at the door of the next class.

Teacher Huang kept thinking about what had just happened, feeling more and more guilty, and couldn’t help but mention it to a colleague: “This kid Si Qi is really not bad.”

The math teacher was taken aback for a moment: “Si Qi?”

If other teachers said this, it would be one thing, but for Teacher Huang to say it, that’s really something.

Which of the teachers in the office couldn’t see that the head teacher of the special class really disliked Si Qi, the sponsored student? He always beat around the bush, saying that the child had a bad character, extreme views, and didn’t get along well with classmates. Just a moment ago, he even heard that Si Qi got into a fight and seemed eager to have Si Qi punished. How did it suddenly change like this?

Seeing the math teacher’s astonished expression, Teacher Huang felt even more embarrassed and couldn’t help but confide, “Yeah, as soon as I saw that kid today, I felt he had changed a lot. Just now in class, his speaking skills improved astonishingly, clearly having worked hard in secret for a long time. I used to have too many prejudices against him, always thinking he came from a bad background and felt unbalanced towards those around him. But how could he ever feel balanced? If he didn’t fight for anything or chase after anything, he wouldn’t have reached today’s level of spoken language… I was thinking too poorly of this child. Such a small person, how could he have any bad intentions?”

The math teacher fell silent for a moment after hearing this. In fact, he had always thought that Si Qi was a person with a very complicated mind, heavy jealousy, and not an easy child to get along with. Now, after hearing what Teacher Huang said, he suddenly felt a bit uncertain, nodded, and made a note of this in his mind.

Then the class bell rang, and Teacher Huang continued with the next lesson. Standing at the podium, repeating the course content he had said countless times over the years, he casually pointed to Wang Jiu’s name, “You come and answer this question.”

Wang Jiu subconsciously clenched his fist, stood up, and involuntarily lowered his voice: “The so-called ‘Renaissance’ is actually an unprecedented liberation and creation of knowledge and spirit. On the surface, it aims to restore the progressive thoughts of ancient Rome, but in reality, it is a spiritual innovation of the emerging bourgeoisie…”

Teacher Huang couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t know what had suddenly happened to this usually excellent student recently. His academic performance had fluctuated greatly, and he often didn’t pay attention in class. The tasks assigned to him by the student council were completed in a messy and subpar manner, and he even suddenly started dating other female students. Even his previously perfect speaking skills had somehow deteriorated, which was simply unbelievable.

He impatiently shouted “stop” and said to Wang Jiu, “Go back and practice your speaking more. It’s best to find a tutor and practice properly for a while…”

Based on the good impression the original owner left on those around him, Teacher Huang wouldn’t make a big deal out of this minor issue. But just that tone of disappointment was enough for the Child of the World to hold a grudge for a long time.

It’s just that his spoken language wasn’t perfect, but as long as he could understand, that was enough! This teacher used to always pick on him in the advanced class, looking at him like he was a rat droppings in a bowl of porridge, nitpicking him every few days. And now he was making a big deal out of nothing…

Just as Teacher Huang was speaking, he suddenly broke into a smile and shared the good news with everyone: “Si Qi from the next class, although he had to take a break for over two months due to an accident, his spoken language skills have improved tremendously since he returned. He even previewed today’s lesson in advance. Everyone should learn from him…”

The child of the world, who was sitting below and constantly complaining in his heart, suddenly widened his eyes and stared fiercely at the proud teacher above, his whole body trembling slightly.

What? Damn it, that guy actually…

Xie Man, who had been secretly observing the reactions of the Child of the World, sneered and said loudly, “Teacher, Si Qi is indeed very outstanding, but our classmate Wang Jiu’s spoken language is also excellent. How about we have them spar one day and exchange learning experiences?”

As the words fell, the body of the Child of the World tensed up in an instant, and his face turned ashen.

Teacher Huang didn’t notice this and casually said, “That depends on their own willingness…”

Xie Man turned around with a smile that was not quite a smile, sitting sideways and looking at the Child of the World with a strange expression. It was as if he had said nothing at all, yet it was also as if he had said everything.

The Son of the World clenched his teeth tightly, his fists hidden in the hole of the table, gripping firmly, and his anger grew even more intense inside.

In the subsequent lessons, Xie Man even more straightforwardly started causing trouble for him.

Always taking advantage of the break time, he publicly talked about things he didn’t know, related to Wang Jiu and him, or asked him about the Wang family’s relationships, even about the experiences of riding horses and riding speedboats together on certain days.

The Son of the World could not answer a single one, and saying too much would lead to more mistakes. Not saying anything would seem very strange. Every minute and every second was a torment for him.

He had to make an excuse to leave the class and only returned just in time for the lesson. But even so, he couldn’t escape Xie Man’s entanglement, because the last class of the day was physical education.

Moreover, it was a collective physical education class where all students in the entire grade choose elective subjects based on the course content.

He couldn’t escape Xie Man’s entanglement no matter what.

Worse was that Si Qi was also in this class.

The sports courses offered at their school include football, tennis, golf, swimming, fencing, fitness, equestrian, and more than ten other activities. The original owner was introverted and excelled at golf and equestrian, and he played them particularly well. However, these two were definitely weak points for the Son of the World; he didn’t have the conditions to learn such things, and he didn’t even start swimming until high school.

For the past two months, he had been getting through his PE classes by playing basketball, but now, seeing Xie Man striding over with an imposing demeanor, looking completely ready to cause trouble, the Son of the World felt an immense headache. This guy was really driving him crazy.

When Si Qi walked from the classroom to the gym, he saw Xie Man grabbing the Son of the World’s arm, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

Xie Man: “I’ve already booked the golf course for you. Why are you suddenly not going?”

The child of the world forced a smile and spoke as gently as possible, “I don’t want to play golf.”

Xie Man: “Really? Then how about you don’t play and just accompany me for a bit? I have something to tell you.”

The Child of the World looked troubled and said, “No, I have other matters to attend to.”

“If you’re not going, then I’ll just say it in front of all these people right now!” Xie Man raised an eyebrow unhappily. “Wang Jiu, what’s wrong with you? You’ve changed so much lately, it’s like you’re a different person!”

The Son of the World pressed his lips tightly together, his gaze subtly scanning the people around him. Seeing that everyone was gradually starting to murmur, he was genuinely afraid that this guy would continue to show off. He could only grit his teeth and force a smile, saying, “Alright, I got it. I’ll go with you.”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly caught sight of Si Qi standing in the distance out of the corner of his eye. He almost jumped up from the ground, his heart racing wildly.

By chance, Si Qi took the initiative to walk over, coming to Xie Man’s side under the intense gaze of the Son of the World, who was on the verge of breaking down. The two people’s eyes met, and without saying a word, an overwhelming sense of familiarity surged forth, almost making the Son of the World cry out!

He thought Si Qi would confront him face-to-face at this moment, with Xie Man helping to expose his true nature.

But Si Qi just gave him a half-smile and said, “President, where’s my leave cancellation form?”

Child of the World: “…………”

He forced himself to maintain a calm smile on his face and said, “You and I will go to the office, and I’ll approve it for you.”

He was now going to take Si Qi away from this place, not giving him a chance to say anything!!

“Alright,” Si Qi smiled and waved at Xie Man, “You go wait for me at the parking lot.”

“Mm.”

The surrounding classmates curiously looked at Si Qi and Xie Man, and said to Xie Man, “Do you know that person from the next class?”

“I’ve never seen you guys talk before, huh?”

Xie Man smiled and said, “He’s my good friend.”

“Hmm?” A group of students, puzzled, said, “Isn’t your good friend Wang Jiu?”

Although it seemed like they had a bit of a falling out now…

Xie Man’s expression faded, and he said with a hint of bitterness, “It’s the same now.”

It’s just that, in the eyes of others, it no longer was.

Si Qi walked behind the hurried Son of the World, noticing that he was intentionally or unintentionally leading him to a secluded place. He didn’t mind and directly said, “I heard you’re trying to find out the contact information of those debt collectors?” It was Xiu Xiu who said that.

The Child of the World stopped in his tracks, the astonishment on his face fleeting. Turning around, his face still subconsciously mimicked the original owner’s expression, but his tone was already gritted with teeth: “What exactly do you want to do!!”

Si Qi let out a light laugh and said to him, “What do you think I should do? I can do whatever I want; this is my rightful power… But you, are you at ease using the things you stole?”

The Child of the World looked furious, glaring fiercely at Si Qi, and said word by word, “Those are all my things! Mine!!”

Si Qi seemed to have heard a joke, laughing heartily for a while, then looked up at the Child of the World.

The Son of the World felt uneasy under his gaze, his heart particularly unsettled.

Even if Si Qi was angry or scolded him, it would be better than now, where he seemed to be prepared to do everything but ended up doing nothing, leaving people guessing what he would do next.

He was really panicking. Besides causing trouble for Si Qi and getting him to shut up, he had no idea what to do, and there wasn’t even anyone he could discuss it with.

Even if Si Qi hadn’t appeared, he was always making mistakes in his daily life while trying to pretend to be someone else, leaving him in a constant state of anxiety and unable to sleep well.

But making him give up, he would absolutely never give up.

For this, he would do anything, even if it meant getting his hands stained with blood.

Si Qi said to him, “I’m quite comfortable using your identity, and I want to keep playing for a while longer. During this time, as rent for using my identity, you have to follow my arrangements and do the work.”

“Why?!” The Child of the World blurted out.

“With my knowledge of countless ways to prove my identity, even if I encounter danger, I can drag you down with me, making sure you can never find peace for the rest of your life…” Si Qi’s smile was like that of a devil, making the Child of the World furious, pointing at Si Qi and exclaiming, “You, you are actually this kind of person!!”

Si Qi burst into laughter: “Of course I am, and I always have been. You really think I’m some kind of easy going good person? You’re too naive.”

The Child of the World didn’t know Si Qi before, and his impression of him was always that of a “gentle and easy-going” person, as everyone unanimously agreed. But now, seeing Si Qi speak and act so forcefully and maliciously, having just beaten someone up at noon and then coming to threaten him in the afternoon, he became increasingly convinced that Si Qi was a despicable and difficult person to deal with, who had fooled everyone in the past with his pretense.

He took a moment to recall what Si Qi had just said, and with an inexplicable sense of dread, he asked, “What do you want to do with my identity?”

“That’s none of your business, and you have no right to ask me. This body of yours is now mine, and of course, the identity you’re using right now is still mine.” Si Qi smiled and patted the Son of the World’s face, saying, “If you know what’s good for you, don’t provoke me. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to teach you a lesson.”

He thought for a moment and said with a sense of malice, “Oh, you may not know this, right? I used to have a little fetish. I liked to take nude photos of myself and post them on gay dating websites. All-round and multi-angle, my favorite thing was to take photos wearing cat ears and a cat tail… Wow, there were a lot of comments and likes~”

Looking at the Son of the World whose face instantly turned pale, Si Qi, with a serious expression, said jokingly, “If you don’t listen, the mosaic that was originally on the photo will be gone. You wouldn’t want to see ‘yourself’ in the family group chat or on the campus website, would you?”

The Son of the World was furious: “That’s obviously your photo! You pervert!”

How could there be such a website, what was the URL? What was the account and password for the website? He didn’t know anything, how could he delete all this stuff ahhh!!!

“But now it’s yours.” Si Qi tilted his head innocently and said, “By the way, I know very well who in the Wang family is most wary of ‘your’ existence, who is most eager to find something to use against you to bring you down and remove you from your position as heir… I know their numbers and contact information very clearly. Tell me, if they knew you had such a hobby, would they immediately make this matter known to everyone?”

“You!” The Child of the World grew more and more anxious as he listened, both angry and urgent, starting to stomp his feet. He even pleaded earnestly with Si Qi, saying, “Why do you have to do this? What’s mine is also yours. What benefit do you get from framing me like this?”

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t get any benefits, as long as I’m happy, right? And besides, I’m ‘Si Qi’ now~!” Si Qi blinked at him, completely like a demon causing havoc in the world: “So, you have to listen to me. Whatever I tell you to do, you do it, got it?”

The Child of the World turned as pale as a sheet, and Si Qi said with a grin, “From now on, you will be my slave. Be good, okay~”

The child of the world trembled like a sieve, not wanting to answer a single word.

How, how did it come to this? How did it come to this!
