Jiang Che was engrossed in his history book, devouring the section about the warlord Cao Mengde from the Three Kingdoms period. Suddenly, the book was taken from his hands, and he was enveloped by a pleasant fragrance, realizing that Chen Yun was standing beside him.

"Teacher Chen! You're so beautiful!"

Jiang Che awkwardly smiled, immediately flattering her with a compliment.

"You! No wonder Teacher Gu said you've changed quite a bit!"

Chen Yun was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled helplessly, closing the history book and placing it back on Jiang Che's stack of books. She gestured towards the podium, "Go up and sing a song, and I won't hold it against you for reading a history book during English class."

Jiang Che's public compliment left many stunned.

Seeing Chen Yun's lack of reaction, and even her happiness, many others secretly decided they should also try complimenting her in the future.

Jiang Che, having made a mistake, was pushed onto the stage like a duck to water.

As he stepped up, he noticed the English words on the blackboard and realized he needed to sing an English song.

Jiang Che had listened to many English songs, though in his previous life, he couldn't fully understand them. Now, as he recalled them, they were all imprinted in his mind.

He thought for a moment, took out his phone, and searched for an accompaniment on Penguin Music.

"‘Rolling in the Deep’?"

Hearing the accompaniment, Chen Yun raised an eyebrow, folded her arms, and waited with interest for Jiang Che to start singing.

"There's a fire starting in my heart"

His voice was clear and magnetic, hitting every note perfectly.

As soon as he started singing, the entire room was left in awe.

"This..."

People gaped, looking at their classmates in disbelief.

It wasn't just good; it was incredibly good!

Chen Yun's eyes widened in surprise.

Besides the pitch, Jiang Che's English pronunciation was flawless.

That was no easy feat!

Sitting two rows from the podium, Su Rongyin watched Jiang Che closely, listening to his voice, her eyes wide and mouth slightly open.

"Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark"

"Finally I can see you crystal clear"

"Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare..."

"We could have had it all"

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

"Rolling in the Deep"

"You had my heart inside of your hand..."

Qin Xiaolong was dumbfounded.

He had prepared a song, intending to sing it while gazing passionately at Su Rongyin.

He was confident he would sing better than anyone before him.

But he never expected Jiang Che to go first and sing so damn well.

How could he go up now? Just to embarrass himself?

He was grinding his teeth in frustration!

This song was also on Su Rongyin's playlist.

It was a song filled with love and hate, a mix of affection and resentment.

Listening to Jiang Che's singing, scenes from the past flashed through Su Rongyin's mind.

How Jiang Che had always been so good to her, tirelessly caring for her, even if she took it all for granted, never paying attention for all these years. Jiang Che remained the same, for a full six years.

Six years!

For them, only eighteen years old, it was an eternity.

She had planned to give up, her strong pride and self-esteem preventing her from facing another rejection from Jiang Che.

But as she recalled the past, she clenched her little fists, dismissing the thought of giving up.

Jiang Che had spent six years.

And she wanted to give up after just two attempts to win him back?

"Clap... Clap..."

As the song ended, the classroom was silent until Chen Yun broke it with applause, followed by the enthusiastic clapping of the classmates.

"Jiang Che, you're amazing!"

Chen Yunsong stood up, clapping and shouting, only to receive a stern look from Chen Yun, making him sit back down sheepishly.

Jiang Che returned to his seat, expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

"Awesome!"

Chen Yunsong discreetly gave him a thumbs-up under the desk.

Chen Yun returned to the podium and glanced at the time, "There are eight minutes left before class ends. Does anyone else want to sing?"

Qin Xiaolong gritted his teeth, deciding to raise his hand, but Chen Yun shook her head, "It seems no one does. Jiang Che, why don't you come up and sing another one?"

"?"

Jiang Che looked up, his face full of reluctance.

Chen Yun shrugged, "What can I do? You sang so well that no one else dares to go up. Come on, make the most of the time!"

Reluctantly, Jiang Che stood up again.

Chen Yun prepared to step aside.

But then, Jiang Che flashed a sly smile, "Teacher Chen, we've all sung, shouldn't you sing one too? Let's do a duet."

At his words, the entire class widened their eyes, showing expressions of anticipation.

Chen Yun paused, shook her head with a smile, "You brat."

"Teacher Chen agreed, applause!" Jiang Che called out.

Everyone excitedly clapped, the applause thunderous.

The two briefly discussed and finally settled on a popular single released by Taylor in 2008.

"Love Story"!

The melodious accompaniment began.

Jiang Che started first, "We were both young when I first saw you."

Chen Yun followed with the next line, "I close my eyes and the flashback starts."

Her voice was rich and magnetic, and she sang beautifully.

As soon as she started, the classroom was filled with gasps of admiration.

Soon, the bell rang for the end of class.

This might have been the first time in everyone's school life that a class felt so short.
