63 You Can Talk Now; Don’t Let Him Have It Too Easy!
Jiangbei University, Room 104 of the male dormitory.
Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong’s eyes were all bloodshot, and they lay on the bed with tired faces.
When they were in the lecture hall and saw the mathematical modeling competition questions, they were dumbfounded.
If this were an individual competition, Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao would definitely have handed in blank papers.
It was too difficult!
Hence, it would be an easy choice for them. They would just choose not to do it.
However, the mathematical modeling competition had them compete in groups of three.
Their teammates would not be allowed to hand in blank papers.
Helplessly, Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao had to work with their teammates to complete the task.
After spending a lot of time looking up information, they finally had a slight idea.
For the past three days, almost all of them had not slept or rested. They had been calculating and designing madly, and they had almost collapsed from exhaustion.
“Which question did your team choose?” Song Yi asked.
“The third question, design a parking lot,” Ma Zhong replied.
“We also chose this question. My teammate said that this question was the easiest, but it was still so complicated,” Song Yi said.
As he said this, Song Yi seemed to think of the three days of crazy research and calculation. He could not help but sigh.
Zheng Jinbao picked his nose and said, “The third question is the easiest? Shouldn’t the second question about designing a drainage system be the easiest?”
“The second question is the most difficult one. The drainage system involves many aspects such as terrain, pressure, soil quality, materials, and so on,” said Ma Zhong.
“If it’s simple, there wouldn’t be so many cities in our country that face issues with flooding. Once it rains, the roads in the cities will all be flooded.”
Zheng Jinbao blinked his small eyes and suddenly felt that it seemed to make some sense.
In addition, Ma Zhong was one of the top students in the class. Generally speaking, he would not make a mistake.
Zheng Jinbo could not help but think of his two teammates’ performance over the past three days. They kept saying that the question was very difficult. Moreover, they had even asked several times whether they should change the question.
However, he rejected them by saying that the other questions were more difficult.
If they found out that designing the drainage system was really the most difficult question out of them all… Would he hit himself?
When Zheng Jinbao thought of this, he could not help but wrap his small quilt tightly around him.
“Brother Lin Fan, which question did you choose?” Ma Zhong asked.
“I chose the same as Jinbao, the second question,” Lin Fan said.
Originally, Ma Zhong wanted to ask if Lin Fan did not really work on any questions for the past three days. After all, he ate and slept normally.
However, after hearing Lin Fan’s words, Ma Zhong did not ask any further.
In his opinion, the reason why Lin Fan did not try to solve the questions was that he thought that the questions were too difficult, so he chose to give up.
When Zheng Jinbao heard Lin Fan’s reply, he wrapped his blanket even tighter around himself. The second question was indeed very difficult!
Obviously, Zheng Jinbao’s thoughts were similar to Ma Zhong’s.
Ring, ring, ring!
At that moment, the phone in Lin Fan’s pocket rang.
He looked at the screen and was surprised.
That was because he realized that it was a call from Xia Bing via WeChat.
Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat as he pressed the answer button.
The phone was very quiet.
In fact, Lin Fan could faintly hear two hurried breathing sounds.
After a while, Lin Fan took the initiative to speak, “Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you two should be able to speak now, right?”
“Yes, yes!”
Two very clear and sweet voices came from the phone. They sounded like the sound of spring water flowing and were extremely pleasant to the ear.
Lin Fan’s face revealed a look of enjoyment as he praised, “What nice voices!”
After a while, weak voices came from the phone. “Thank… Thank you…”
“You’re welcome. You must be tired from the competition, right?” Lin Fan smiled. “Have a good rest.”
“No, we’re not tired…”
Pleasant voices quickly came from the phone again. “You… You too… Have a good rest.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were still hugging the phone tightly. Their entire faces were like ripe tomatoes—red.
After a long time, they made another WeChat call.
Not long after, there was a light-hearted voice on the phone.
“Girls, why did you call me? Are you going to do Morse code?” the beautiful young lady Yan said with a smile.
When Yan saw the incoming call, she was a little surprised.
She could not understand why Xia Bing and Xia Xue would call her.
In the past, there had never been such a situation.
Therefore, she made a casual joke.
“Mom… Mom,” Xia Bing and Xia Xue said.
“F*ck! F*ck! The f*ck?!”
The person on the phone was stunned for a moment.
After that, extremely shocked yells were heard.
Then, the person on the phone shouted again, “You guys can talk now?!”
“T-That’s right,” Xia Bing and Xia Xue said.
“Good!” Yan exclaimed happily. “Hahaha! Your voices are very nice. As expected of my daughters… No, little sisters!
“Remember to call me ‘Sister’. Don’t call me ‘Mom’!
“My sisters are so sensible. They called me the moment they could speak. Not bad!” said Yan, pleased.
“We called Lin Fan first,” Xia Bing and Xia Xue said.
The beautiful young lady Yan was speechless.
…
Fengshang District, Qing City.
The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter’s carefully dressed appearance and nodded repeatedly.
“Siqin is so beautiful,” she continued. “We can’t let that Wang Xiaodong marry her so easily!”
The middle-aged man beside her nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to Third Brother, Big Ming, and the others. They’ll block the gate.”
“Third Brother is now the security captain of Yinshan Mall, and Big Ming is a detective… With them blocking the door, Wang Xiaodong won’t be able to marry Siqin so easily!”
The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, “Third brother and the others aren’t enough. Siqin, don’t you have a few best friends? Call all of them over. The more people blocking the door, the better!”
“Do we have to call so many people over?” Gong Siqin said hesitantly.
“Of course!” The middle-aged woman immediately replied. “Wang Xiaodong has no money and no power! If he marries you so easily, won’t he think you’re cheap?”
“Actually, Xiaodong’s not bad. He’s quite motivated,” Gong Siqin said.
Although Gong Siqin often reprimanded Wang Xiaodong, he was the husband she had chosen, and she did not want to be belittled too much.
The middle-aged woman sighed and said, “Silly daughter, this isn’t anything difficult. We’re just letting Wang Xiaodong understand how hard it is to marry you! That way, in the future, he’ll cherish you even more!
“In addition, we’re only arranging for some people to block the gate! If Wang Xiaodong is really capable, he can just ask some powerful people to open the gate and fetch the bride. If he can’t do that, then he should spend more time to self-reflect!”
Hearing her mother’s words, Gong Siqin pondered for a moment before nodding.
