Chapter 370: Higher Mathematics

Chapter 370

This semester, it was rare to have a class where Qin Wei, Shen Qingqing, Wei Lai and Youyou could get together.

Then they were dumbfounded.

"This class we will be studying functions and limits."

The old professor stood at the podium and after a simple few words, began writing problems on the blackboard. The other students bowed their heads and started scribbling away, while only the four of them didn't know what to write.

Shen Qingqing: "The answer is one ninth, right..."

Wei Lai: "What was the formula again..."

Youyou: "What is lim? What is e??"

Qin Wei: "Isn't this calculus class? Why are there more letters than numbers??"

"..."

The professor was very nice, he didn't take attendance or care if you came to class. As long as you handed in your homework on time, it counted towards your grade.

But there would be a closed book exam for this class at the end of the semester, with all fill-in-the-blank and essay questions, eliminating any chance, requiring real studying for this subject.

A 90 minute lecture, couldn't understand the lecture, couldn't understand the textbook, Qin Wei felt like she was on pins and needles.

Luckily there was only calculus on Wednesdays, and the day before Li Liang had notified her that she had a magazine cover shoot that afternoon, something arranged long ago. But now class was over, and Li Liang called again:

"Sis, um, the magazine side cancelled the arrangements...uh...but tomorrow going to shoot an ad for Tianshi Watches is confirmed, don't worry!"

"I know."

Qin Wei knew the reason, the scandal from hitting someone had never really blown over. That romance reality show going live was purely to gain views by having her on.

It did help salvage her reputation somewhat, but the antis, gossip sites, and internet trolls still wouldn't let her go, interfering with a lot of work, delaying some and forcing the cancellation of even more.

Now without An Xing's protection, her work situation was even more difficult.

"Alright!"

Qin Wei hung up the phone. Since there probably wouldn't be much work for a while, she'd just think of it as a vacation. She could go home and catch up on homework, play with Legos...

Home...work...

She should go home and look at her calculus homework, she couldn't fail this class. Even if she hit obstacles at work, she couldn't let calculus become an obstacle in her studies!!

...

Just as she had made up her mind, Li Liang called again:

"Sis, the TV drama Meteor has finished filming, they're in post production now. We have a few scenes to reshoot, not too much work, 3 days should be enough to finish. The crew asked if you're available these next few days?"

More work had come up!

For some reason, Qin Wei felt a little happy and readily agreed.

She quickly packed a bag at home. Her roommate wasn't home, and Qin Wei was afraid of disturbing her work, so she sent her a message saying she was going on a work trip. A few minutes later her phone rang, it was her roommate calling.

When waiting on set, if he told stories to the child actors, she would silently sidle over and sit not far away, quietly listening. When it got to funny parts, the corner of her eyes would relax. When it got to sad parts, the corners of her lips would turn down.

She didn't like others praising her looks, especially fawning over how beautiful she was. No matter how unrestrained your compliments, she wouldn't give any reaction.

She would only accept drinks and food from her assistant and manager. It was only after becoming familiar with Shen Kai that she would occasionally accept drinks from him, but it had to be opened in front of her.

He discovered these little details, gaining her trust bit by bit. At first he thought it was cute how the little fairy was so lacking in security, wanting to protect such an insecure girl.

Later once they were familiar, Shen Kai would often tell her all kinds of stories, occasionally also about things he saw and heard while filming. Afterwards he even told her about his plans for the future—

He hadn't bought a house yet, he wanted to buy one with his future wife, one she liked. The decoration would also be up to her, they would build their home together.

"It has to have big floor-to-ceiling windows, good lighting."

"Of course."

"Thick soft carpets."

"Must have them."

"Lots of flowers and plants, for you to care for."

"Okay, you just watch."

"Then you already have a girlfriend."

"Huh?"

"I really want a home."

...

"In the future, I'll give you the grandest wedding. You're so beautiful, you can't be mistreated."

For the first time, Qin Wei raised a doubt: "Must be beautiful?"

"You're not beautiful?"

Shen Kai was stunned. If she wasn't beautiful, who else dared say they were beautiful?

Qin Wei shook her head:

"Beautiful, I guess. Otherwise so many people wouldn't say that...but my brother says I'm ugly..."

"Your brother is blind!"

...

Shen Kai came back to himself and couldn't help asking Qin Wei:

"Qin Wei, do you think you're beautiful?"

Qin Wei was a little confused by his sudden question. She turned her head to look at him and smiled politely yet elegantly:

"Are you trying to sweet talk me or what? Why suddenly ask this? Are you questioning me? I'm so beautiful, you can't even see it? You spe...blind or something?"
