Chapter 89: Chapter 71 That Guy is Really Sick! _3

But Qiao Yu didn’t, and he even subtly declined the invitation from Professor Xue.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t get upset, and in the end, both host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After firmly refusing Professor Xue’s offer to send them back to Xiao Lake University, they got into the rideshare Professor Xue helped to call. It was only after they arrived at the gates of Xiao Lake University and got out of the car that Lan Jie couldn’t help but ask, "Qiao Yu, aren’t you afraid that once Professor Xue knows your account, it might be awkward?"

"Hmm? Why would it be awkward?" Qiao Yu asked back.

"I think Professor Xue is actually quite nice, right?" Lan Jie questioned.

"Yes, I think so too. That’s why I provided him with enough emotional value today; isn’t that good? Don’t you think it would be more awkward if I had talked about those things today?" Qiao Yu blinked and said.

Lan Jie thought about it and suddenly felt that Qiao Yu was right.

"So, Teacher Lan, do you think it’s better to be awkward face-to-face or to find out about this online later, feeling a bit awkward at first and then forgetting about it after a while?"

Lan Jie found it very reasonable; it seemed like he didn’t think about these things as thoroughly as Qiao Yu, and instinctively agreed with Qiao Yu’s choice.

"You’re right, talking about it in person would indeed be quite awkward."

"Exactly. And Teacher Lan, we’re competitors! You can’t always think about competitors, can you?"

"Huh? Competitors?"

"Didn’t you say that one day I might surpass those great figures! I took it seriously, you know." Qiao Yu’s tone sounded like a joke, but Lan Jie felt this kid was very serious.

With a sigh from the bottom of his heart, Lan Jie also joked, "Before coming here, Principal Zhang repeatedly instructed me to pay more attention to you and teach you well. But I feel like I can’t teach you; instead, I might be misled by you. Now, I find everything you say makes sense."

"Haha, Teacher Lan, you’re too funny. How could you be misled? You’re a good person!" Qiao Yu said earnestly.

Hearing this evaluation from Qiao Yu, Lan Jie just felt a mix of emotions. For a moment, he lost the interest to speak.

Just like that, the two walked silently toward the guesthouse and then noticed another pair of teacher and student walking nearby.

Originally, they were just passing by each other, but then the young person on the other side suddenly stopped and called out, "Qiao Yu."

It was getting dark, and Qiao Yu stared seriously for a moment before recognizing him as Yu Wei, the person who really annoyed that chubby guy, Yu Yongjun.

"What’s up?" Qiao Yu casually asked.

"Can we talk?" the other person asked.

Qiao Yu glanced at Lan Jie beside him, and Lan Jie nodded at the teacher opposite as a form of greeting, then looked at him, with eyes that clearly said: make your own decision.

While Qiao Yu was considering, the teacher on the opposite side also smiled and said, "Teacher Lan, why don’t we let the kids talk and we can take a walk?"

"Alright then." Before Lan Jie could respond, Qiao Yu decided.

Just as well, the big meal earlier was a bit much, and a walk could help digest.

There was no helping it; Xiao Zhou’s casual Hunan cuisine seemed tastier than Xingnan’s authentic Hunan dishes, accidentally eating too much.

The opposite side’s Yu Wei quickly stepped over to Qiao Yu’s side, and Qiao Yu turned his head, and the two walked together. The two teachers followed behind them.

They hadn’t walked a few steps before Qiao Yu understood why Yu Yongjun found Yu Wei so awkward.

Walking with a straight back, swinging his arms stiffly, and most importantly, even though he had actively suggested walking and chatting, two minutes had passed, and he hadn’t uttered a single word.

He would feel awkward too. But Qiao Yu didn’t care.

After all, his purpose was to walk, not to chat.

Just like that, another two minutes passed. Perhaps feeling that if he didn’t speak first, Qiao Yu certainly wouldn’t initiate a conversation, Yu Wei suddenly blurted out, "How did you do on your exam today?"

"So-so. How about you?" Qiao Yu casually responded.

"I fully answered the first, third, and fourth questions; these three should be correct. I got the second question wrong, but I’m not sure if I’ll get partial credit. I finished the first half of the fifth question, and I didn’t have time to do the sixth. Even if I had time, I probably couldn’t solve it."

Qiao Yu was a bit stunned.

He just casually answered and casually asked, not expecting such a serious and detailed response, overly sincere.

"That’s pretty good. Getting half of the six questions right, and you’ll get some points for partial credit on others; you’re over fifty! With some luck, you might even get an excellence award." Qiao Yu casually commented.

"So, what did you mean by ’so-so’?" the person opposite bluntly asked.

Qiao Yu suddenly laughed and countered, "If I said I could get a perfect score, would you believe it?"

"Yes!"

This straightforward answer took Qiao Yu by surprise.

"Hmm..."

"You left the exam room at 1:53 and didn’t return. My coach saw your teacher being taken away at noon and then you being taken away with Professor Xue around two, proving you did quite well." Yu Wei dryly explained.

"I see." Qiao Yu nodded, feeling a bit uninterested.

"My coach said I have a very high talent in mathematics, the highest he’s seen. But now it seems he’s been narrow-minded." Yu Wei added.

Qiao Yu felt like this was supposed to be a compliment, but it still didn’t quite make him feel happy.

"You can’t say that. Let me tell you a secret, my mathematical talent... By the way, do you get along with your parents?"
