Future rich and handsome man: Ms. Huajuan, do you need a boyfriend?
Yang Wei blinked, her voice tinged with amusement: "Do you want to compete for this position?"
Future rich and handsome guy: Is it okay? [Shy]
Yang Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer within three seconds, I'll consider giving you a chance."
Future rich and handsome man: I loved him.
Yang Wei: "...Not this one."
Future rich and handsome man: I'll save you first.
Yang Wei: "..."
She took a breath and asked very quickly, "What is a number that leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 3, a remainder of 3 when divided by 5, and a remainder of 2 when divided by 7?"
Li Gou Dan: 23
Yang Wei and Liang Minghao were both stunned. Liang Minghao was stunned because he hadn't even heard the question clearly yet this guy had already replied instantly. Yang Wei was stunned because it turned out that Li Gou Dan wasn't mute after all.
Future rich and handsome guy: I guess he wants to slap 233
Li Gou Dan: This is a typical remainder problem in mathematics. 233 is also a number that satisfies the conditions. Adding or subtracting the least common multiple of 3, 5, and 7, 105, from it all satisfies the conditions. The 23 I gave is the smallest number that satisfies the conditions.
Yang Wei: "..."
Future rich and handsome man: ...
This art class was really worth it, and it even came with free math tutoring.
Future rich and handsome man: Does this mean I got it right?
Yang Wei snapped out of her daze. For a moment, she had the illusion that Qi Xiaoyan was standing in front of her: "You answered slower than Li Gou Dan, and it took you more than three seconds."
Future rich and handsome guy: So, Gou Dan got the chance? But he might not be in City A. You should consider me instead.
Li Gou Dan: I'm in City A.
Yang Wei: "..."
Why is even Dog Egg taking this so seriously!
She closed the presentation slides, smiled, and said, "Thank you all for attending my trial class. Today's class is now over. Students who wish to register, please contact the academic affairs office."
After she finished speaking, she took off her headphones and left the classroom.
Leaning back comfortably in her chair and stretching lazily, Yang Wei got up and poured herself a glass of milk. The question Qi Xiaoyan had just given her was one he'd promised to answer correctly within three seconds if she could, in return, he'd go with her to see the Christmas tree lights. Yang Wei hadn't answered correctly, of course, but Qi Xiaoyan, unable to withstand her persistent and tireless questioning, had gone with her to see the lights.
She remembered what the staff member said: couples who see the Christmas tree lights together will be happy for life, but they still ended up getting divorced.
Sigh, no wonder Qi Xiaoyan said back then that these were just promotional gimmicks to fool children.
I really want to take this divorce case to the consumer association to file a complaint against them.
But speaking of which, that Li Gou Dan is really something. How could someone who looks like a top science student come to study painting? Is it to experience life?
At this moment, Li Gou Dan is undergoing a satisfaction survey conducted by the academic affairs officer.
"Hello, after the trial lesson, are you satisfied with our teacher, Huajuan? ^_^"
Qi Xiaoyan thought for a moment and typed, "Very satisfied."
Are you interested in attending our formal courses?
Qi asked with a smile, "How much of my tuition fee will go to the teacher?"
Jian Shuang paused for a moment after seeing the message before replying, "Teachers are paid by the hour ^_^"
Li Gou Dan: I think you should also give teachers a corresponding commission based on the number of students.
Jian Shuang: "..."
Yang Wei is really something. It's one thing to have a bunch of brainless fans outside, but how can she gain brainless fans so quickly when you can't even see her face in class?
Thank you for your suggestion, we will consider it. ^_^
Li Gou Dan: Okay, I'll sign up.
Yang Wei took a shower and climbed into bed. There was an unread text message on her phone from her younger brother, Yang Ming: "Dear sister, are you free tomorrow at noon? I'd like to treat you to lunch :)"
That smiling face inexplicably reminded her of Li Gou Dan. She shook her head and replied, "You're not going to make me pretend to be your girlfriend again, are you? I told you, I'll charge the same price as the leading lady."
Yang Ming: Didn't I already say I'd treat you to dinner?
Yang Wei: Yeah, you treated me to four spring rolls on the street last time, the kind that cost 1.5 yuan for two. [Goodbye]
Yang Ming: ...This time it won't happen again, order whatever you want!
Yang Wei: It seems this girl is quite difficult to deal with :)
Yang Ming: She's been following me for two weeks! Nothing I say works. I told her I have a girlfriend, but she doesn't believe me.
Yang Wei: Next time, tell her you like men, and then find a buddy to help you.
Yang Ming: Your mom will kill me. [Goodbye]
Yang Wei: Okay, time and place.
Yang Ming: Tomorrow morning at 10 AM, at the entrance of T University. Dress up nicely, love you, muah! =3=
Yang Wei: Fixed price, 11 o'clock, I'm turning off my phone!
Just as Yang Wei was about to shut down her phone, another new message arrived, this time from Fang Chengran. She paused for a moment, then opened it to view.
Goodnight, sweet dreams ^_^
Four simple words and an emoji instantly complicated Yang Wei's feelings. Just two nights ago, she was saying goodnight to herself, and she never expected that so soon, someone would remember to say goodnight to her before going to sleep.
Her thumb moved across the screen, and she typed: "Goodnight, sweet dreams."
After turning off her phone, she glanced at Qi Xiaoyan in the wedding photo across the room and closed her eyes.
Hmph, I'm not going to say goodnight to you.
Under the same starry sky, Qi Xiaoyan lay in bed, looking at the list of contacts on her phone, and whispered, "Goodnight, baby."
The next day, Yang Wei slept until ten o'clock. Thinking about her younger brother treating her to lunch, she skipped breakfast and opened her wardrobe to start fussing over herself. Yang Ming was still a junior in college, and pretending to be his girlfriend meant she couldn't dress too maturely. She specifically dug out a dress from her college days and held it up to her chest.
Hmm, the color is OK, and the style isn't too outdated, so I'll take this one!
Just as things were almost done, Yang Ming called to urge her on. Yang Wei answered the phone as she walked out: "I'm already out. I'm having Lilith BBQ for lunch."
Yang Ming felt a pang of pain on the other end of the phone; Yang Wei had really gone to great lengths. However, thinking of the girl who had been stalking him for two weeks, he held back.
Yang Wei left her apartment complex and took the subway to T University. It was the time when most students were waking up and looking for food, so the stalls near the school gate were packed with people. Yang Wei immediately spotted Yang Ming waiting at the gate. He was wearing a black hooded jacket over a white T-shirt, dark skinny jeans, and black high-top sneakers. Yang Wei mentally gave him a thumbs up; her younger brother was getting more and more handsome.
"Little Mingming—" Yang Wei called out sweetly as she walked over. Yang Ming was startled, and when she turned around, her eyes were still twitching slightly: "Weiwei, it's the weekend, we won't be crazy."
Yang Wei twitched the corner of her mouth, deciding to take the queenly approach: "Xiao Mingzi, have you made a lunch reservation? I only eat fresh scallops."
Yang Ming smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "No rush, let's take a look around the school first."
Yang Wei reluctantly followed him inside, her face still maintaining a cold expression: "Aren't all schools the same? I haven't had breakfast yet."
Yang Ming still smiled and said, "If I take you for a walk around the school, no girl will bother me for the next year."
Yang Wei's aloof demeanor faltered slightly: "You really don't like men?"
Yang Ming said, "I am simply remaining chaste for my first love."
Yang Wei's eyebrows twitched: "Your elementary school deskmate? Do your parents know you're dating?
Yang Ming shrugged: "Of course they don't know that back then they were the ones who heartlessly and unreasonably abandoned me, taking only their daughter abroad."
Yang Wei's brow twitched: "Are you going to bring this up for another ten years? You were only three years old back then, how could I take care of you..."
"Shh." Yang Ming suddenly interrupted Yang Wei, deliberately whispering in her ear, "It's appeared."
Yang Wei suddenly felt like she was filming a police thriller. She subconsciously held her breath and secretly glanced back. There really was a girl following them at a distance, with short, ear-length hair and dressed neatly and cleanly, not at all like a stalker.
Suddenly, the girl's gaze met Yang Wei's, and Yang Wei quickly turned around. She took a deep breath and heard the sound of footsteps behind her.
Soon, the girl ran in front of them, blocking their way. Yang Ming frowned slightly, looking somewhat impatient: "What exactly do you want?"
The girl simply looked at Yang Wei, her eyes intensely focused and carrying a barely perceptible pleading look: "Excuse me... are you Yang Ming's girlfriend?"
That look made Yang Wei unable to lie to her, but feeling Yang Ming's hand tightening on her shoulder, she quickly smiled and said, "Yes, I am. Are you his classmate?"
The girl's face paled, and she bit her lower lip gently as if she had been wronged: "Are you really his girlfriend?"
"……Um."
The wind seemed to have stopped blowing through the treetops, except for the girl's skirt, which was still swaying restlessly.
Today, Yang Wei witnessed the incredible skill of bursting into tears in three seconds. The girl in front of her reddened her eyes and burst into tears with a loud "Waaah!" Tears streamed down her face like a fountain, and snot flowed unceremoniously. Yang Wei was somewhat stunned; she hadn't cried like that since kindergarten.
The girl was crying so hard that every student passing by stared at her. Yang Wei awkwardly tried to go over and comfort her, but the girl only looked at Yang Ming, cried, and said, "I won't bother you anymore," before running away with snot and tears streaming down her face.
Yang Wei and Yang Ming stood there, stunned, their expressions somewhat stiff. Yang Wei slapped Yang Ming's hand off her shoulder and turned to look at him: "Aren't we being a little cruel?"
Yang Ming's lips twitched, her voice dry: "...A short pain is worse than a long one."
Two girls walked towards us, whispering to each other.
"That girl was crying so hard just now, did she break up with her boyfriend?"
"I think so. Speaking of which, have you heard that Professor Qi from Imperial University got divorced?"
Yang Wei's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Has Professor Qi become this famous?!
She hurriedly tried to drag Yang Ming away, but Yang Ming had already walked up to the two girls before her, frowning as she asked, "What did you say? Qi Xiaoyan got divorced?"
"I...I heard it from a friend at Beijing University..." The girl stared blankly at Yang Ming. How come this handsome young man is also a fan of Professor Qi?
Yang Ming glanced back at Yang Wei. Yang Wei panicked and, before she could explain, Yang Ming had already rushed out. Yang Wei chased after him out of the school gate. Seeing him get into a taxi, she flagged one down and jumped in quickly, saying, "Please follow that car ahead for me, thank you!"
The driver hadn't encountered such a scene in a long time, and excitedly asked, "Are you pursuing a boyfriend?"
Yang Wei said, "Catch them in the act!"
Exposure
It was lunchtime, and students at Imperial University were enjoying their leisurely weekend.
