In the face of all the criticism, Ye Fei didn't really want to explain himself.

Ring ring ring ring!

The bell began to ring.

The professors generally did not like to delay the cla.s.s, including Professor Nie. When the bell rang, no matter what he was saying, he would pick up his suitcase and leave.

However, today Professor Nie was curious about how Ye Fei came up with the answer.

He thought it over and decided to finish the cla.s.s first. He closed his book and raised his hand, and the students in the cla.s.sroom immediately quieted down. "Cla.s.s dismissed. The students on duty, remember to wipe the blackboard."

After that, the students quickly forgot about Ye Fei. They thought he'd just cheated, anyway. They began to put away their textbooks to prepare for the next cla.s.s.

Normally, Professor Nie would have already left, but this time, he uncharacteristically stepped down from the podium and walked over to Ye Fei. "Kid, would you mind coming with me to the office?" he whispered.

"Professor... please let him go." Qin Xiaomeng whispered. She too did not believe that Ye Fei had figured out the problem on his own.

Lin Qingwan also quickly trotted over and said, "Professor Nie, Ye Fei is my bodyguard. I apologize for him disturbing the cla.s.s. Please, let him go."

"I didn't say anything about punishment, I just don't want to lose a potential mathematical genius. Ye Fei... Look, come to my office, we'll just have a friendly chat."

Professor Nie had a good att.i.tude and a friendly voice. Ye Fei didn't want to talk at first, but seeing that the old man was sincere, he nodded, "Sure."

"Ye Fei... what are you doing?" Lin Qingwan grabbed Ye Fei's sleeve.

"Yeah, I don't think you anything to talk to Professor Nie about," Qin Xiaomeng added.

"Since don't trust me, you can come to the office with him!" Professor Nie said cheerfully.

Qin Xiaomeng and Lin Qingwan glanced at each other and nodded.

Seeing those three follow Professor Nie out, the students began to gossip again. They all came to the same conclusion: Ye Fei was toast!

......

Professor Nie led Ye Fei, Lin Qingwan and Qin Xiaomeng towards the mathematics department. "Sorry, my office is in a bit of a state today, so we'll have to go to the math department's break room. If you feel uncomfortable, we can also talk outside in the pavilion."

Ye Fei shook his head. "No need to go there, here is fine!" 

As they entered the break room, the other teachers stood and came up to cheerfully greet Professor Nie. He seemed to be quite well-liked. 

A young adjunct offered the old professor his seat. "Mr. Nie, why did you bring these students here? Are they your new postgraduates?"

Professor Nie graciously sat down and recounted to the teachers what had just happened in his cla.s.s.

The math professors exchanged a few thoughtful glances.

One of the teachers said in a low voice, "Professor, you didn't have to bring him all the way here to embarra.s.s him for a little thing like that. Students these days are very self-a.s.sured. He likes to brag, just let him brag... Why drag him out here?"

Professor Nie waved his hands, "No, no, just look. Here, Ye Fei, can you tell us how you came up with the answer?"

"Sure," Ye Fei nodded. "I figure it out through mental arithmetic."

"Oh my G.o.d, he really is a stubborn boy." The teachers shook their heads and rolled their eyes.

Professor Nie's facial expression became more serious. "Ye Fei, have you ever seen that problem before?"

Ye Fei shook his head, "No, I just figured it out." 

Now even professor Nie was becoming a little frustrated. Lin Qingwan and Qin Xiaomeng gently tugged at Ye Fei's sleeves to shut him up. 

Professor Nie sighed with a very disappointed expression. After thinking for a while, he took out a sheet of paper and wrote down a new math problem. "This one is similar to the one we had in cla.s.s. Go ahead and solve it, please."

"Professor Nie, this question is too difficult," the other professors said. "Even a doctoral student wouldn't figure it out. Isn't it too difficult-"

Before they could finish their words, Ye Fei blurted out, "15.73."

Everyone became abruptly quiet.

A few of the teachers wanted to laugh at Ye Fei for throwing out a random figure, but when they saw Professor Nie's face, they felt something was wrong and hurriedly took out their pens and notebooks to calculate it for themselves.

However, this question was indeed extremely difficult. Even Professor Nie did not know the answer as he'd just made up the equation on the spot, but his math skills were obviously higher, as he came up with the number 15.7 after just five minutes. He felt no need to calculate the final digit; he knew it must be 3. He also knew it would take him at least twenty minutes to calculate the full answer.

But... Ye Fei had taken just a moment.

What was the meaning of this?

It meant that Ye Fei was a true mathematical genius.

The professors look like they saw a ghost. Standing behind Ye Fei, Lin Qingwan and Qin Xiaomeng felt something was wrong.

"Wait..." Lin Qingwan whispered, "Was... was that correct?"
