I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 20: Self-Taught

At the entrance of Sunshine Kindergarten.

"Nuonuo, school is over. Don’t run around, okay? If we get home late, your Mama’s going to scold both of us."

Ye Fan wasn’t worried about Nuonuo getting kidnapped, he was just afraid that if they got home late, his sister would nag his ear off.

"Don’t worry, Uncle. I’ll definitely wait for you."

"Alright then. See you later."

"Uncle, bye-bye! You have to behave in school too, okay?"

Before Ye Fan could reply, Nuonuo had already run into her classroom.

"Hahaha, never thought a little uncle like you would get lectured by his niece."

The nearby security guard who was just enjoying the moment couldn’t help but laugh.

"You call that a lecture? That’s called... never mind, I’m not going to argue with you. I have to head to school too."

As soon as he mentioned "school," Ye Fan’s expression instantly dropped.

……

Qiming Middle School

Ye Fan found a parking spot and parked his tricycle. After that, he walked toward the classroom.

Not long after he left, at the spot where the tricycle was parked—

"Damn, whose tricycle is this? It’s taking up three spots! Doesn’t he want it anymore?"

At that moment, Han Cong arrived as usual at his designated parking spot. Following behind him was Chen Zhihao, pushing his bicycle.

"Han Cong, move this crappy tricycle out of the way for me. Not only is it taking up three spots, it even took over our spots."

"Exactly."

After putting down his bike, Han Cong walked over to the tricycle and added, "Come help me out too. This thing is heavy as hell."

Then, after parking his bike, Chen Zhihao came over to help.

"Damn, this broken tricycle is so freaking heavy. I wonder which idiot it belongs to. We better tell him not to park it here again tomorrow, or we’ll sell it off as scrap metal."

"Yeah, let’s settle on that."

After the two of them worked together, they finally pushed the tricycle into a far corner spot.

"Ugh, that was exhausting. Let’s tell the others that from now on, this spot belongs to us three brothers. If anyone dares take it, we’ll trash them on the spot."

After dealing with the situation, the two of them walked off toward the classroom.

On the Road

"Chen Zhihao, do you think Ye Fan has arrived yet?"

"You know what he’s like, don’t you? When has he ever not been the last one to show up for school?" Chen Zhihao turned around and said to Han Cong.

"That’s true, huh."

In the past, Ye Fan always relied on his excellent grades. He was always the last to arrive and the first to leave school.

After walking for a while, the two of them arrived at the classroom door, only to see a crowd of people gathered outside.

"What’s going on? Move aside, move aside!" Chen Zhihao raised his voice and shouted.

As soon as Chen Zhihao spoke, the people there got the hint and made way for him and Han Cong.

Chen Zhihao was curious, what exactly was happening that so many people were watching?

In the second seat of the first row, a boy was lying on the desk. It wouldn’t be a big deal if he was just sleeping, but he was snoring too.

"Damn, Han Cong, come look at this!"

"What is it?" Han Cong stepped forward and looked at the unfamiliar guy lying on the desk. "Wow... gutsy. He even dares to sit in that seat."

"He must be new. When the she-devil gets here, he’s dead meat."

"Hey, what are you all yelling for? Can’t you see I’m trying to sleep?"

At that moment, Ye Fan couldn’t take the noise anymore. He lifted his head and shouted.

"You little...," Chen Zhihao was about to curse him out, but the moment he got a clear look at his eyes, he froze: "Ye... Ye Fan?"

Ye Fan also saw who was standing in front of him. "Chen Zhihao, what are you yapping about in front of me?"

"Ye Fan, I didn’t realize it was you…"

"Well, now that you do know, get lost. I’m trying to sleep."

"But…"

Just as Chen Zhihao was about to explain something, a figure walked in from the back door of the classroom. As soon as Li Qingyue arrived, he immediately shut his mouth.

Chen Zhihao glanced at Ye Fan, who had already laid his head back down to sleep, and said cheerfully, "Ye Fan, sleep well, alright?"

Then he tugged on Han Cong and signaled for the rest to disperse, before going back to his seat.

"Chen Zhihao, what are you doing?"

"Shh, Han Cong, we’re about to watch a great show."

As he spoke, Chen Zhihao pointed at Li Qingyue, who was storming over to Ye Fan’s desk.

Smack! "Hey! Who told you that you could sit there?"

That shout drew everyone’s attention; the whole class turned to watch the drama.

Ever since Li Qingyue transferred in a year ago, the seat beside her had always stayed empty.

A few people had tried sitting next to her, but by the next day they would quietly move to the back preferring to stand rather than remain beside her. You could imagine what must have happened.

Even the campus "boss" Chen Zhihao had once suffered under her wrath. After all, she was the Li family’s precious jewel. In Laiyang Town, who dared bully her?

Yet Li Qingyue’s outburst didn’t wake Ye Fan; he actually slept even more soundly.

Watching from their seats, Chen Zhihao and Han Cong couldn’t help giving Ye Fan a thumbs‑up.

"Wow, Ye Fan is hardcore. He can still sleep through that?"

"Right? And he’s our brother, remember."

Deep down, Chen Zhihao had to admire Ye Fan’s nerve.

Seeing that Ye Fan was still asleep and that everyone was now staring at her for entertainment, Li Qingyue grew furious and raised her hand, ready to smack Ye Fan’s head.

Just then, Ye Fan spoke softly: "I suggest you don’t do anything foolish."

His voice was gentle, but it made Li Qingyue freeze for a moment. She withdrew her hand and, fuming, sat in her own seat beside him.

"Chen Zhihao, did you see that? Hey, Chen Zhihao!" Han Cong stared at the scene, shaking Chen Zhihao’s arm nonstop.

"Han Cong, quit shaking me, I’m not blind."

"Ye Fan’s awesome, he even made the tigress back down."

"Looks like sticking with Ye Fan is the smart move."

……

This class was Liang Huaiyu’s math lesson. She was explaining the test paper, which happened to be from the recent mock exam.

While everyone else was listening attentively, only Ye Fan was lying on his desk, sleeping like he was enjoying it.

"For this question…" Liang Huaiyu glanced at Ye Fan and finally couldn’t take it anymore. She shouted, "Ye Fan! Get up and explain how to solve this problem!"

Snoooore... snoooore...

The whole class went dead silent, only the sound of Ye Fan snoring could be heard.

Hahaha...

The room instantly filled with laughter, and even Li Qingyue, sitting next to Ye Fan, was covering her mouth, trying not to laugh.

At that, Liang Huaiyu really lost it. She walked over to Ye Fan’s desk, slammed her hand on it, and shouted again, "Ye Fan! Ye Fan?!"

After a while…

"Huh? What is it, Teacher Liang?"

Seeing Ye Fan's lazy and sluggish expression, Liang Huaiyu clenched her teeth and held back her anger, "Come up to the blackboard and explain this problem to everyone."

As she spoke, she pointed at the question on the board.

Ye Fan glanced at the blackboard, and a look of speechlessness crossed his face. But he still replied, "Alright, Teacher Liang."

After he finished speaking, Ye Fan slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and only then walked up to the blackboard.

After glancing at everyone, he picked up a piece of chalk and started writing.

"Geez, this question is so easy and none of you know how to solve it? You just need to…"

After a while, Ye Fan had filled the space beneath the question with a complete step-by-step solution.

Every step was crystal clear and easy to follow.

"Ye Fan, how did you manage this?"

Liang Huaiyu covered her mouth as she asked. That was because the steps Ye Fan wrote weren't even at a high school level anymore, they were using formulas from advanced college-level mathematics.

"Derivation… oh, no—I taught myself." Then Ye Fan added, "There are a few more methods, but I won’t bother writing them."

"Damn, Ye Fan is amazing! Self-taught genius!"

"He’s basically my dream guy!"

After that, Ye Fan returned to his seat under everyone's admiring gaze.

Liang Huaiyu took a deep breath and returned to the podium. Then she said, "Ye Fan, don’t sleep during class. If you really want to sleep, ask for leave and go home to do it."

Ask for leave just to sleep? Isn’t that asking to get beaten up?

Ye Fan quickly shook his head and said, "Teacher Liang, I won’t sleep anymore."

"That’s better. If you’ve got math under control, focus on your other subjects."

"Got it, Teacher Liang."

After that, Ye Fan perked up but not to listen to class.

Instead, he let his soul leave his body and roamed freely through the universe.
