Chapter 119: Not Even Meituan Can Deliver as Fast as You
Chu Fei had learned far more than just medicine on Longming Mountain.
Blessed with a sharp intellect and the strength of his lineage, he had been exceptionally gifted since childhood, mastering new knowledge with remarkable speed.
Mathematical problems of this caliber were as simple to him as drinking water.
In short, he was versatile—except for foreign languages, he possessed knowledge spanning from astronomy to geography.
Why not learn foreign languages? Because Chinese was simply the most superior!
Wang Hai, aiming to teach Chu Fei a lesson in humility, devised problems far beyond the usual curriculum.
The other students, of course, could not tell if Chu Fei’s answers were correct, but seeing the neatly written formulas on the blackboard left them visibly stunned, their expressions saying, “I don’t understand this, but I’m deeply shaken!”
Even Wang Yang looked at his grandfather in disbelief.
Though Wang Hai was prideful, he had great respect for truly talented young people.
Seeing Chu Fei solve his problems, he openly admitted, “Although your answer differs from the standard one, your logical approach is more rigorous—something I had never considered before. For that alone, you could come teach at our school!”
This was Wang Hai’s highest praise.
The envious and ordinary students exchanged looks, utterly shocked beyond measure.
“Wait, so Professor Wang really means he solved it?”
“That kid can’t have been pretending to be weak all along, right?”
“Good grief, is he playing us for fools, secretly scheming behind our backs?”
Among them, Roman was the most excited, grabbing Jiang Yunqi’s arm and shouting like a monkey discovering a new world, “Help! I thought he was just showing off, but turns out he’s a genius!”
Jiang Yunqi was equally thrilled but remained composed, replying calmly, “Basic skills—don’t overdo it.”
Only Wang Yang remained silent, his expression growing increasingly sour.
Earlier, the two had made a bet: if Chu Fei could solve Wang Hai’s problem, Wang Yang would have to run naked.
If Wang Yang actually lost and accepted the bet, he’d become the laughingstock of Longcheng University!
“You tricked us, so that problem shouldn’t count!” Wang Yang shouted at Wang Hai. “Professor Wang, give us another problem. If he solves it, I’ll keep my promise!”
This statement drew many boos from the crowd, but Wang Yang pretended not to hear.
Wang Hai naturally didn’t want his grandson to run naked.
More importantly, he had finally found a worthy opponent and was eager to continue the contest with Chu Fei.
“Well... that depends on this gentleman’s willingness,” Wang Hai said with a glance at Chu Fei. “If he agrees, I can set another problem.”
Addressing him as “gentleman” showed Wang Hai no longer underestimated Chu Fei; he even regarded this young man with a hint of reverence.
“Earlier, Professor Wang only gave you an easy problem to warm up because he underestimated you,” Wang Yang explained to cover himself. “Now that he’s showing his real skill, do you dare to continue?”
“If you don’t dare, just admit defeat, or else I...”
Before he could finish, Chu Fei interrupted with a cold laugh: “You’re even worse at giving than Meituan delivery. Fine, since you won’t learn until you see the coffin, I’ll help you along.”
Wang Yang exhaled in relief, unaware this was merely the beginning of his nightmare.
He had hoped his grandfather’s true skill would turn the tide, but Chu Fei provided perfect answers in under a minute every time!
Of course, Chu Fei always found some excuse to stall.
Wang Hai, however, was thoroughly enjoying the duel.
Chu Fei grew increasingly impatient.
This fascinating scene caused many students to linger long after class, eager to see how Wang Yang would end up.
Some mischief-makers even posted the incident on the school forum, where it quickly became the hottest topic.
Students and teachers alike gathered in the hallway, eager to witness the genius who dared to challenge old Wang and not fall behind.
After all, the university was a microcosm of society, and gossip was human nature.
Moreover, in all the years at Longcheng University, nothing like this had ever happened.
Among the onlookers were many girls from other grades and departments who, watching Chu Fei’s back as he solved problems, whispered that the handsome young man with the braid was simply irresistible.
As the crowd grew and Wang Hai was cornered with no solution in sight, Wang Yang felt every minute in the classroom was pure torture.
Finally, unwilling to waste more time, Chu Fei spoke: “How about this—I'll give you a problem. If you can’t solve it, then we’re done.”
This startling declaration sent the atmosphere into a fever pitch.
Forced to accept, Wang Hai nodded reluctantly.
Chu Fei wrote the problem on the blackboard.
Wang Hai stared at it, utterly baffled, chalk in hand but unable to move.
“Damn, this young man... oh damn!” a math teacher exclaimed excitedly, swearing. “If this model can be solved, applying it to the stock market would be a complete game-changer!”
“Whose protégé is this?” someone asked.
When Wang Hai finally shook his head and admitted defeat, at that moment, Chu Fei’s image shone invincibly bright in the eyes of all the students!
The boys marveled, convinced he must have some kind of system or cheat code.
With such a feat, he’d surely earn priority in the university’s social scene!
The girls screamed in delight, overwhelmed by his striking looks, some even planning to ask for his WeChat later.
Even if nothing happened, having a handsome male friend was a thrill.
Wang Yang felt utterly crushed.
He had hoped to publicly humiliate Chu Fei but instead became the clown himself.
His defenses shattered, he muttered bitterly, “What the hell is this?”
“Enough nonsense for now,” Chu Fei said with a playful smile. “Everyone’s more interested in you.”
Wang Yang was stunned, then recalled their bet. He shouted to Wang Hai, “Grandpa, be fair!”
Wang Hai sighed, “You made a bet, so you must accept the consequences...”
He was washing his hands of the matter.
Seeing Chu Fei ready to act, Wang Yang’s face flushed red as he yelled, “What are you doing? Don’t come near me!”
Snap!
Chu Fei clenched his fist midair.
Wang Yang’s clothes burst open, leaving him exposed before everyone.
Twisting awkwardly, Wang Yang wished he could disappear into a crack in the floor.
Chu Fei glanced at him and quipped, “Hey, little worm!”
Wang Yang blushed scarlet and ran back to the classroom, sobbing, amid bursts of laughter from the crowd.
That blow to his pride would haunt him forever.
At that moment, Guan Ya, from another department, rushed over, asking Roman what had happened.
Roman recounted the entire scene, laughing all the while.
After hearing the story, Guan Ya said nothing, but her gaze slid past Chu Fei toward Jiang Yunqi. “Qiqi, come here. I need to talk to you.”
Chu Fei frowned, wary that she might betray him by revealing his secret with Song Yalan from last night to Jiang Yunqi—such ingratitude!
