Proving his identity by solving problems?
Xu Tingting felt like there was no need for that. It was just someone who looked like Wu Mu; there was no need to be so serious.
But Su Meng seemed to think this was a great idea.
As everyone knew, Wu Mu was just a junior high school dropout, a poor student. If it was really him, there was no way he could solve a college-level math problem.
Without another word, she pulled out her phone, found a recent calculus exam from her school, and picked out a question.
“Then try this one.”
She handed the phone to Wu Mu.
Wu Mu took it and looked at it.
“Calculate the type I curve integral ∫C(x+y+z)ds on curve C: x=cos t, y=sin t, z=t (0≤t≤2π).”
“It’s not hard; you should be able to do it. Qingyue, do you have any paper and pen?” he asked, turning to Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian looked constipated, “No.”
Big brother, are you serious? Are you a middle school dropout who can solve this kind of problem?
Of course he was serious.
Wu Mu was not at all flustered.
The predecessor might have been a junior high school dropout, a poor student, but he wasn’t. He was someone who had truly attended university.
Although it was just an ordinary university, and so many years had passed since graduation, he had used various mathematical concepts often in his game development and coding; so he hadn’t given them all back. Taking on a not-too-difficult calculus problem was definitely possible.
“I have some, I have some!” Liang Fang eagerly raised her hand and pulled out a notebook from her bag.
“Thank you.” Wu Mu took it and began to write swiftly with his pen bent over his work.
A junior high dropout and celebrity solving a calculus problem on a variety show?
That was odd.
What was even stranger was that he actually started to write.
A group of people at the table couldn’t help but lean in to look.
“First, calculate the derivative of the parametric equations of curve C with respect to t, getting… then substitute x, y, z, and ds into the integral formula…”
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qian, Xu Tingting, and Su Meng immediately fell silent.
What was going on? He seemed like he really knew how to solve the problem.
With that solution strategy, regardless of whether the final answer was correct or not, this was definitely not something a middle schooler could write. In fact, middle schoolers wouldn’t even understand the problem.
After Wu Mu finished writing the answer, and it turned out to be the same as the one on the test, the atmosphere became instantly weird.
Jiang Qian stared blankly at Wu Mu, her little brain beginning to doubt. Could it be that this person was really her boyfriend, Qian Jiang? Wu Mu and his participation in the show were just dreams of her own?
Su Meng pursed her lips and kept rechecking Wu Mu’s answer, seemingly trying to find some kind of flaw.
After her initial shock, Xu Tingting cried out, “You really aren’t Wu Mu? You look so much like him though.”
In the shadows, the atmosphere among the show’s crew was also delicate.
What had they seen?
Wu Mu impersonating a college student and even getting a calculus problem correct?
A junior high school dropout and celebrity?
Wang Xiaotian couldn’t quite hold back, “Director Lin, did you hire an actor?”
This was scripted, right?
This must be a script prearranged by the crew, right?
Lin Qingyue subconsciously looked toward the assistant director on-site. She was certain she hadn’t hired an actor, so did it mean the assistant director had colluded with their client’s roommate without her knowledge?
Understanding her meaning, the assistant director seemed wronged, “Director Lin, I didn’t contact the client’s roommate at all. They had no idea about our show, and even if we did set up a script, I wouldn’t set up something as absurd as this.”
Indeed, it was far too absurd.
A well-known junior high school dropout becoming a celebrity influencer, and then solving a university-level calculus problem…
Such an event broadcasted wouldn’t amuse viewers; they would just scold the crew for taking them for fools.
Lin Qingyue trusted her assistant director would not treat viewers like fools.
So if the actor wasn’t hired by them, was he hired by Wu Mu himself?
Could he have already known Jiang Qian’s roommate and performed a double act with her there?
This kind of speculation was a bit far-fetched, but it couldn’t really be Wu Mu who solved the math problems all by himself, could it?
Everyone on the scene felt a bit of brain shrinkage.
Wu Mu, having proven his identity, smiled at Su Meng and said,
“Now you believe I’m not Wu Mu, right? Want me to do a few more problems? In addition to calculus, I still remember a bit about discrete math, number theory, and the like.”
Su Meng pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping back and forth across Wu Mu’s face, clearly struggling internally.
Rationally speaking, it was indeed unlikely that a middle-school dropout celebrity could solve university-level calculus problems, but no matter how you looked at him, he was the spitting image of Wu Mu.
In the end, Su Meng stubbornly dug out a few more problems from her phone for Wu Mu to solve.
After Wu Mu had solved them all with answers that were more or less correct, she fell completely silent.
Xu Tingting had already stopped doubting Wu Mu’s identity by this time; no way could a middle-school student solve advanced calculus and discrete math problems!
She exclaimed with her hand on her chest, “You really gave me a scare; I almost believed that Qian really was dating that celebrity Wu Mu.”
Wu Mu laughed, “How could that be? If I were a big star, wouldn’t I be bragging about it to everyone instead of hiding it from you all?”
“True.”
Xu Tingting joined in the questioning about Wu Mu and Jiang Qian’s romantic history.
Wu Mu was very talkative, just like a student who had graduated from university a few years ago.
Not only did he discuss his relationship with Jiang Qian,
He also chatted with Liang Fang about robots, programming, and future technologies,
And with Xu Tingting about novels, stories, and game plots.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Watching her two roommates’ eyes shine brighter and become more and more enthusiastic, Jiang Qian felt a bit odd.
How did Wu know everything, able to chime in no matter the topic of conversation?
She could feel it: her two best friends’ fondness for Wu Mu was skyrocketing.
This way, when Wu Mu asked for their blessings later, wouldn’t it be just a matter of words?
And sure enough, when everyone was nearly finished eating,
Wu Mu seized the opportunity to ask, “What do you think about me as Qian’s boyfriend? Can I get your approval?”
Liang Fang didn’t hesitate, saying, “Of course you can! I think you’re a pretty good person, and Qian should be happy with you.”
Xu Tingting also nodded in agreement, “Although it’s a bit surprising, I’ve never heard Qian mention having a boyfriend before, and online dating doesn’t sound very reliable. But after meeting you in person, based on what I feel right now, I think you two are quite suited for each other.”
It wasn’t just a matter of being suited; they nearly felt that their friend didn’t deserve him.
Qian Jiang was not only excessively handsome but also funny and amiable. His manners in dealing with people were impeccable, and judging by his attire and conversation, he was clearly someone who wasn’t short on money and had substance.
It wasn’t just suitability; he was practically the Prince Charming from fairy tales, and it would be a terrible waste if their friend didn’t hold on to him firmly.
After receiving the blessings of both Liang Fang and Xu Tingting, Wu Mu turned to Su Meng with a smile,
“What about you, Su?”
“Qian often talks about you, she values your opinion a lot. Without your blessing, our relationship would be half a failure.”
Watching the amiable and harmless-looking boy in front of her, Su Meng’s eyebrows were still tightly furrowed.
After scanning Wu Mu’s face back and forth a few times, she suddenly said, “Sing us a song, the one you performed before, ‘Heavenly Queen.'”
Wu Mu smiled, “Eh, Su, why do you still think I’m Wu Mu? I’m really not, you know. I’m not much of a singer.”
Liang Fang and Xu Tingting also felt that their roommate was being too stubborn. Continuing to call him Wu Mu at this point seemed quite unreasonable.
But Su Meng was still very certain, “He is Wu Mu.”
The suspicion was just too strong!
Wu Mu realized that the usual methods were not going to work on her; it was time to pull out the big guns!
He simply said with a smile, “Then I’ll sing you a song in exchange for your blessing, how about that?”
Su Meng nodded, “Okay.”
Mission accomplished.
With Su Meng’s agreement, even if she regretted it later, the show’s crew would most likely not make a fuss about it.
After all, it was just a variety show, not a competition. The entertainment value was the most important thing.
