Chapter 45 (1/2)

Cheng Nuo was burying his nose in the math tests. Suddenly, a fragrant smell caught his attention, and he saw a pretty figure sit down beside him through his peripheral vision.

Cheng Nuo looked up and met Mu Leng’s cold eyes, which made him flinch subconsciously.

Cheng Nuo grinned. “Haha, hello, Mu Leng.”

Mu Leng was sitting right next to him, less than one meter away.

Mu Leng stared at his face for a while and then slapped the test in front of him.

Mu Leng pointed at a function problem and said unemotionally, “Tell me how to do this problem!”

“Oh? Should you not ask Old Man Tang?”

“He’s busy.”

Cheng Nuo laughed. “So Old Man Tang asked you to ask me.”

Mu Leng nodded lightly.

“Let me take a look,” Cheng Nuo said, leaning over to look at the problem Mu Leng was pointing at. “Hmm, a hard one indeed. The problem asks us to find the maximum value, but they didn’t give us many conditions. Let me think. How about writing out a function…”

Mu Leng frowned and said, “Cut the crap. Just tell me how to do it.” She was running out of patience.

Cheng Nuo put down his pen and said listlessly, leaning back in his chair, “Sorry! I don’t know!”

Mu Leng paused for a second and left. Before she walked away, she said, “Alright, bye! I’ll come back when Mr. Tang is done with his work!”

Having seen that Mu Leng had no intention to stay, Cheng Nuo immediately stood up and blocked her way. He said with a smile, “Wait, wait! I was just kidding, Mu Leng! This problem is very easy. Of course I know how to do it! In fact, I believe that anyone with a brain is able to do it! Come, I’ll explain it to you!”

Mu Leng was speechless.

“You are mocking me!” Mu Leng thought, even more determined to leave.

In the end, Cheng Nuo put his hands on Mu Leng’s shoulders and pressed her into the chair.

Mu Leng massaged her shoulders and glared at Cheng Nuo bitterly. She said in a frosty tone, “What are you waiting for? I thought you are going to tell me how to do it!”

“Bad attitude, Sister Leng. You are the one who’s asking me for help,” Cheng Nuo complained, spinning his pen between his fingers. “But I’ll be forgiving this time. Don’t do it again.

“Okay. Let’s take a look at this problem.”

Cheng Nuo had suddenly become serious once he had started to explain the problem.

“First of all, we…”

Mu Leng had noticed his change in attitude too. Hence, she paid full attention to his explanation.

Cheng Nuo had formulated more than one way of tackling that problem the second he had finished reading it.

Therefore, to show off his intelligence in front of the beauty, Cheng Nuo explained another method of doing the problem after the first one. That’s not the end yet, because he soon proceeded with the third one!

Mu Leng stared at Cheng Nuo blankly while the latter jabbered on. Suddenly, her eyes lost focus from the math test.

The morning sunlight shone through the window, dancing on Cheng Nuo’s handsome face. His hair was short and slightly unkempt, and the corner of his mouth was gently curving upwards. He was a youthful young man, sitting right in front of her.

Mu Leng’s heartbeat quickened.

“And here, we can substitute this equation in. And then… Huh?” Having heard no response, Cheng Nuo looked up and saw Mu Leng staring at him as if she had been possessed.

Now, Cheng Nuo’s eyes were on Mu Leng.

“Height: 168.54 cm, weight: 52.36 kg, bust: 90.87 cm, waist: 62.92 cm, hip: 90.55 cm… heartbeat: 120 beats per minute…”
