Chapter 90: Chapter 71: That Guy Really Is Sick!_4

The person next to him was silent for a moment before saying, "Pretty good."

Qiao Yu laughed and continued, "That’s good. You can’t learn from me. Actually, my math talent comes from sacrifices. Every night before I sleep, I pray to The Bodhisattva Guanyin, willing to trade thirty years of my dad’s life for my extraordinary talent, and guess what? I suddenly had an epiphany recently, haha, so you can’t catch up with me."

Another silence followed, and after a while, Yu Wei’s voice reached Qiao Yu’s ears, "This joke is not funny at all."

Qiao Yu happily raised his hand and patted Yu Wei on the shoulder, saying, "I’m not joking, I really prayed!"

Although it was just a spur-of-the-moment action, Qiao Yu could feel that when he touched the other person’s shoulder, this guy’s body clearly became stiffer, and he even frowned directly.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu didn’t care at all.

Since he promised to accompany the guy for a walk and chat, should he cater to his every whim?

No way, he’s not this guy’s dad, he must not spoil him.

The other side didn’t ask any more questions, and the two of them silently walked nearly a hundred meters before Yu Wei suddenly asked, "Do you know how to play Go?"

"A little, why?" Qiao Yu answered nonchalantly.

He indeed only knew a little, having played with his grandfather when he was a child.

Go, chess, and table tennis were all taught by his grandfather, but unfortunately, except for table tennis, his grandfather wasn’t proficient in board games. By third grade, Qiao Yu could defeat him mercilessly, indicating his lack of proficiency.

So Qiao Yu didn’t really know what his true skill level was.

"We should have a game sometime."

"Heh..." Qiao Yu was about to decline immediately, but after seeing the glow-in-the-dark watch Yu Wei was wearing, he changed his mind, "Sorry, my time is very valuable. Go takes too long. But if you pay, I can consider it."

Yu Wei didn’t think twice before agreeing, "Okay, let’s set a price per game. If you can beat me, I’ll pay."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I mean, if you want me to play with you, you have to pay upfront. Winning or losing doesn’t matter, as long as you pay. Rest assured, once I take the money, I’ll go all out to beat you."

Yu Wei stopped walking again, then took out his phone and said in an unwavering tone, "Add me on WeChat."

"Heh, we haven’t even agreed on how much per game." Although mumbling, Qiao Yu still took out his phone. This guy was quite interesting, and he didn’t mind having another WeChat friend, especially since he’d been adding a lot of contacts these past two days.

Yu Yongjun, Xue Song, not bothered by adding one more.

Not to mention, this Yu Wei seemed promising as a potential benefactor.

Soon, they exchanged WeChat.

"So, how about it? It’s still early today, shall we have a game?" Qiao Yu asked again.

However, to his great surprise, Yu Wei directly replied, "We can play, but I won’t pay you for it."

Qiao Yu pouted, a bit disappointed.

Yu Wei added, "I have money, but I’m not foolish."

"Then why add me on WeChat?" Qiao Yu glared at him. Yu Yongjun was right; this guy was truly awkward, not the least bit endearing.

"To motivate myself, hoping to surpass you one day, so it doesn’t matter if you delete me." With that, Yu Wei stopped and said to Qiao Yu, "Goodbye."

The coach following them smiled and greeted Lan Jie, then quickly walked two steps forward to continue walking with Yu Wei.

Qiao Yu glanced at Lan Jie behind him, pointed at the figures already walking away, and confidently said, "I suspect that guy has a real problem!"

Lan Jie slowly walked over and casually replied, "No problem, you guys will meet again in November, then you can verify if he’s really got a problem."

"Hmm?"

"Yu Wei will definitely join this year’s Mathematics Olympic Competition, and with his level, he might not make it to the National Team, but entering the national competition is definitely not an issue."

"Heh... Are you sure that someone who can only solve three out of six questions can enter the national competition?" Qiao Yu took out his phone, deciding to delete this inexplicable guy from WeChat immediately.

"That problem is difficult! Oh, and did you notice anything? His family should be quite wealthy, maybe even a big shot in Linhai." Lan Jie commented.

Qiao Yu slowed down his actions and asked, "How can you tell?"

"Hiring a top international school math competition coach for 24-hour training, don’t even dream about it unless you have a fortune. Mr. Chen is famous in the math training world for producing international gold medal students. In Linhai, it’s five figures just to hire him for two hours of tutoring."

Lan Jie specifically mentioned this to let Qiao Yu know that fame and wealth are similar concepts.

However, after hearing this, Qiao Yu just casually put his phone back in his pocket.

Forget it, you can add a thousand people on WeChat; having one more doesn’t matter. It’s better to be magnanimous and kindhearted.

Qiao Yu still believed that good people get good rewards.

Who knows, maybe one day this guy might suddenly lose his mind, frantically begging to give him money to spend? Still better to leave a chance for this ’patient’ to find him.
