Chapter 175: I’m Very Interested in Your Brain

Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the final stage.

Zhou Zhou looked at the twenty challenging competition problems on the test paper, spun his pen. While the others were still buried in calculations, he already knew the answers.

He just needed to modify the steps a bit, to avoid standing out too much.

At this moment, only ten contestants remained on the platform, including Li Yu and Fu Jingxuan.

The time allotted for answering the questions was forty minutes, and the panel of mathematics experts was already seated on the platform, waiting to grade the papers.

“In the past, very few contestants could finish the questions within forty minutes. Most would have four or five questions left. This year, there are more contestants than in previous years, but there don’t seem to be many truly capable ones.”

“In the previous stages, that student named Zhou Zhou seemed quite impressive.”

“Some people are quick-witted, but although they know the answer, they can’t write out the steps. There are plenty of people like that.”

“That’s true. Let’s see how the results turn out.”

Just as the words left their lips, the bell rang.

Several mathematics experts looked astonished. Finished already?

They exchanged glances, each seeing doubt in the other’s eyes.

Impossible. Even for them, these experts, it would be difficult to guarantee completing all the problems within forty minutes.

The host hurriedly took Zhou Zhou’s paper and placed it in front of the mathematics experts.

“Leaving aside whether the answers are correct or not, the presentation alone would deduct two points.”

“This handwriting is just too awful.”

The group huddled together, muttering and grading with difficulty, until, further along, their expressions gradually turned serious, and they fell silent.

The host was curious about their change. What was with those expressions?

He craned his neck to look at Zhou Zhou, who was relaxed with his legs crossed, then looked at the other contestants, who were anxiously scratching their heads. He couldn’t resist inching closer to the mathematics experts and peeking.

“Such solution processes… unprecedented.”

“Can you understand this part?”

“Hmm… barely.”

“The answers are correct, but the solution process is too novel. I’ll send it to the group and ask. Professor Wu should see it.”

Someone took out their phone and carefully photographed the test paper, their brows constantly furrowed. Beneath their heavy mood was a gradually emerging excitement and disbelief.

After the competition ended, the mathematics expert group was still discussing Zhou Zhou’s paper. The host was sweating profusely, asking the contestants to wait patiently.

Half an hour later, they finally began grading the other contestants’ papers.

“This student named Li Yu has pretty good problem-solving ideas too.”

“What’s wrong with this student? They’ve stabbed over a dozen holes in their paper with their pen. Why does the paper look like it’s been used to curse someone?”

…

Twenty minutes later, the competition results were announced.

Unsurprisingly, the first place winner was Zhou Zhou.

He wanted to leave after receiving the award, but he was surrounded by several mathematics experts.

“Student, I’m very interested in your brain!”

Zhou Zhou: …

Speechless. Are you a zombie?

“Haha, I misspoke in my haste. I’m very interested in the structure of your brain. I want to know where you get so many new ideas from?” The mathematics expert, with half-white hair, excitedly grabbed his arm and repeatedly asked, “Are you interested in joining the national-level mathematics seminar?”

“Not very interested.” Zhou Zhou smiled, pried open his hand, and scurried down the platform. Pei Yanlie had already stood up, and the two held hands, quickly walking towards the door.

“Student Zhou Zhou, don’t go!”

“Hey, hey, hey, at least add a contact, don’t go!”

The group grew anxious and hurriedly chased after him. The outside was empty; Zhou Zhou was nowhere to be seen.

“The registration information has his details. There’s no need to worry about not finding him,” someone suddenly realized.

“Professor Wu is going crazy in the group, saying we must bring him to him.”

“That old man is very proud and arrogant. So many students want to become his disciple, but none have succeeded.”

“It’s rare to find a gifted student. Forget him, even I’m tempted after seeing this.”

…

On the other side, Zhou Zhou and Pei Yanlie walked out of the competition venue and got into the car.

Pei Yanlie took a wet wipe to clean his hands, then took out water for him to drink, looking every bit the Pei-servant.

Zhou Zhou panted softly, his lips looked moist after drinking the water. He picked up the gold medal and the room card in his hand, unable to stop smiling. “I always feel like I’m taking advantage of others.”

“My advantage, won’t you take it?” Pei Yanlie’s eyes darkened, staring intently at his lips, feeling parched.

“Cough cough, you’re offering yourself up, it’s different.” Zhou Zhou lowered his head, flipping through the room card in his hand, his heart already racing.

He quietly shifted his butt to the side, his eyes occasionally flicking up, stealing glances at the man who looked like he was suppressing himself.

[You get easily worked up, am I a walking aphrodisiac?]

“Just looking at you makes me… unable to bear it.” Pei Yanlie took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned two buttons, leaning lazily against the car seat with his legs slightly apart, openly showing Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou glanced at his suit pants and said seriously, “Do you want to unzip them for some ventilation… *pfft*, hahahaha…”

He collapsed laughing in the seat, his long legs bent awkwardly. Pei Yanlie took off his shoes and placed his feet on his own legs.

The smile on Zhou Zhou’s face gradually disappeared. He pursed his lips and looked up into Pei Yanlie’s deep, dangerous eyes, then gently moved his foot. He clearly heard Pei Yanlie’s breathing become heavier.

He turned his head to look at the driver’s seat. Separated by the partition, he couldn’t see anything.

“President Pei, I’m taking advantage of you.” He lowered his voice, the soft tone was very alluring.

Pei Yanlie sat still, only staring at him.

An ambiguous and heated atmosphere filled the car, even the exhaled breath felt hot.

Zhou Zhou swallowed, holding his breath. His toes twitched slightly, occasionally curling up. He deeply felt that he was playing with fire. Just as he was about to bend his leg, his ankle was gripped by Pei Yanlie and pulled back.

Zhou Zhou stared at the car ceiling, his face growing redder. He wanted to pull his foot back, but Pei Yanlie held it tightly.

[I just flirted with you a little, and you’re doing such bad things with my foot, you pervert.]

Pei Yanlie lowered his eyes, staring at the other’s fair and slender ankle. His fingers gradually tightened, then released, pleased to see the red marks imprinted on it.

“Zhou Zhou, your whole body is so white.” Pei Yanlie’s voice was very low, extremely hoarse.

Zhou Zhou didn’t speak, raising his arm to cover his eyes, his lips pressed even tighter.

He clearly felt his trouser leg being pulled up. The thin calluses on his fingertips travelled from his ankle to his knee, and the slight itchiness from the light scraping of his nails almost made him burst out laughing.

He moved his foot again, gently kicking Pei Master a few times, until Pei Yanlie was about to explode, then said in a hoarse voice, “This isn’t an uninhabited area, don’t mess around.”

“Stretch your legs straight.” Pei Yanlie’s hand showed obvious veins popping out, indeed close to being unable to restrain himself.

“I want to stretch them too, but you won’t let me.” Zhou Zhou rolled his eyes.

Pei Yanlie finally released his hand, heavily exhaling a breath of hot air. He lowered his eyes to look below, helplessly supporting his forehead.

[Alluring fox spirit, I guess you want to say that.]

Zhou Zhou sat up, humming a light tune, moving towards the door, away from the Pei-man who could go crazy at any moment.

Pei Yanlie “Mmm” sounded, it was indeed an alluring fox spirit, making his heart itch unbearably, wanting to pull the person over and bully them severely.
