Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Seeing that Gu Li didn’t respond, Qiao Se couldn’t help but walk up to her. He bent slightly, making a very gentlemanly gesture.

He was a member of Country F’s royal family, and this gesture may not seem special to others, but it was their specific action for courting.

Gu Li naturally understood, while Mo Shiting understood better, after all, he had once been pursued by the princess of Country F’s royal family.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Se was from Country F’s royal family, and Mo Shiting’s handsome face completely sank.

“Yo, this Qiao Se isn’t just anyone. I’ve been saying all along, Little Pear’s suitors are top-level men from all over the world.”

Murong Qian started to gossip again.

She really wasn’t afraid of offending Mo Shiting because she was, on one hand, Mo Shiting’s future sister-in-law, and on the other hand, his future aunt-in-law. In either role, she had seniority over him.

Moreover, Little Pear had deep feelings for Mo Shiting, loved him for so many years, and had been too humble about it. It was time to give him a wakeup call, so that he wouldn’t become arrogant and forget to cherish her.

Lu Cong knew Murong Qian’s thought process and did not intervene to protect himself.

Meanwhile, Mo Shiting ignored Murong Qian altogether.

At this moment, his entire being was on the stage, waiting for Gu Li’s answer.

Finally, Gu Li regained her calm, smilingly declined Qiao Se: “Thank you for your love, but I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend, and I love him very much!”

When Mo Shiting heard these words, his mood instantly relaxed, and a faint smile involuntarily curved his lips. His looking at Gu Li became even more tender.

Unfortunately, Gu Li was blocked by the tall Qiao Se and didn’t notice Mo Shiting’s doting gaze.

She thought her refusal was thorough enough, but she underestimated Qiao Se’s persistence, “It doesn’t matter if you are single or not, it doesn’t affect my pursuit of you.”

A hubbub stirred among the crowd once more.

This man, he wants to be a third party in a love relationship.

How shameless.

Most of the audience had looks of disapproval, but there were inevitably some who believed in the supremacy of love and stood in his position. They felt that love should be pursued bravely. If they could snatch the person away, it would mean that their previous relationships were not true love.

“Tsk, Shiting, it seems your love rival is quite persistent.” Lu Cong shook his head slightly, expressing his opinion.

Mo Shiting sneered, “You just need to mind your own business.”

Lu Cong chuckled, “Hey, I’m just worried about you.”

Mo Shiting scoffed disdainfully: “Hum.”

He trusted Gu Li completely and was not worried about her running away with anyone else. However, it was really annoying to see these flies gather around her.

Not wanting to see Qiao Se continue to pester Gu Li, Mo Shiting picked up his phone and dialed a number.

The other party answered almost instantly, sarcastically saying, “Busy man, how come you have time to call me?”

“World University Super Brain Grand Finals, tell the host to get to the point.”

Probably the host was too engrossed watching the drama on stage and let Qiao Se run rampant.

“Come on, you’re calling me for this minor issue? That’s an underutilization of resources.”

The other party felt insulted.

But Mo Shiting didn’t listen to his rambling, “You have 10 seconds.”

The other party: “…Shit!”

The call ended. In the blink of an eye, the host received the prompt in his earpiece, directing him to regain control of the situation.

He finally snapped back to reality, smoothing things over with a laugh, “Alright, time is limited. Next, please ask the two contestants to return to their respective areas for the first round of our PK.”

As soon as the host’s resounding words fell, Gu Li immediately returned to her seat.

Qiao Se shot the host a dissatisfied look. Then he threw a flying kiss at Gu Li before returning to his seat.

Gu Li clenched her fingers, feeling incredibly helpless.

Looks like a certain someone’s jealousy was going to overflow tonight, how should she appease him?

…

The competition soon began, and Gu Li didn’t have the heart to worry about her relationship matters. She focused all her attention on the computer screen lying flat on the table.

The entire PK consisted of three rounds, all conducted on the computer, testing computational ability, mental arithmetic ability, visual acuity, memory, and the ability to adapt to various challenges.

The audience could not only see their answering situation through a large LCD screen but also directly see their expressions.

The atmosphere was getting more and more tense.

The first and second rounds were relatively easy, and each person won a round, putting them on par.

Therefore, the key laid in the last round.

The final round was a numerical maze designed by the famous mathematician Ares. It was understood that the number of people who could navigate the maze successfully within the given time was very few.

The maze could change in countless ways, with no set pattern or possibility for replication. In other words, even if you memorized the solving process of someone else, you couldn’t follow the same path.

“Damn, I’m dizzy.”,

Murong Qian yawned as she spoke.

As someone who was terrible at math, watching all this was like reading Greek.

Even Lu Cong, a medical genius, felt it was a tough challenge, and he was certain he couldn’t make it through.

“Shiting, what do you think? Can Little Pear make it through?”

Lu Cong couldn’t help asking as Mo Shiting was intently focused on the big screen.

Mo Shiting was very confident and declared: “In less than ten minutes, she will be out.”

“Really? Then I will start timing now.”

Lu Cong finished speaking, and checked his wristwatch, “It’s now 21:45 M Country time. By the way, what about Qiao Se?”

“He?”

Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow and sneered, “He’s far from it.”

Lu Cong: “…”

“Speaking of, I remember when you were 18 years old, you solved this question? It took you less than 30 minutes, you really aren’t human.”

Lu Cong couldn’t help but exclaim, full of praise for Mo Shiting.

The two of them had been classmates from primary school to high school. This guy’s math skills were off the charts, and he’d never scored anything but 100%.

Murong Qian, hearing how excellent Mo Shiting was, couldn’t help but turn her head with a look of disbelief, “Really? You navigated Ares’ mathematical labyrinth? For real?”

Lu Cong chuckled, “Of course it’s true, my boy Shiting is a genius with an IQ of over 200.”

Murong Qian shrugged, “So what? My sister is no worse than him.”

“She’s been doing it for an hour and a half, and she hasn’t finished yet.”

“Lu Cong, what are you trying to say?”

Unexpectedly, Lu Cong would question her words, Murong Qian’s eyes narrowed and she sent a cold glare his way.

Lu Cong involuntarily shivered a bit, damn it, in his arrogance he had offended his dear wife.

“Qianqian, even if Shiting is brilliant, he still has to listen to Gu Li, right? So, isn’t she the one who’s really amazing?”

“Humph!”

…

These two started to bicker at the slightest disagreement, Mo Shiting pinched his brow, his gaze falling on Gu Li’s delicate little face.

About five seconds had passed, seeing her wrinkled face gradually smoothed out, Mo Shiting didn’t need to look at the big screen to know that she has succeeded.
