At this moment, Jiang Nian was speechless.

She thought that becoming a disciple today would not be so smooth, but she did not expect Lu Xianying to be so direct.

Jiang Nian touched her belly and had a perfect excuse, "I am now pregnant and will give birth in a while. After giving birth, I have to stay in confinement. After confinement, I have to take care of the child. I don't have the time or energy to take care of Ren Dong. Besides, the college entrance examination is a big event and cannot be taken lightly. I feel more at ease with Uncle Lu's guidance."

As he spoke, Jiang Nian took out something and handed it to Lu Xianying when he frowned and hesitated.

"Uncle Lu, I have prepared a gift for you to become my disciple."

Lu Xianying frowned, "I don't accept gifts or money."

What academic freaks like him hate most is the smell of money.

If he opened it and saw that it was money, he would definitely kick the two people out without saying a word, even if it was Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian had thought of this a long time ago, so it was definitely not something as vulgar as giving money.

Jiang Nian said, "Professor Lu, it's just a book. I believe you will like it."

Lu Xianying listened to Jiang Nian's words, his brows still furrowed in displeasure, and then he opened Jiang Nian's so-called gift.

It was a book that looked both new and old. It was new because the paper was white without any yellowing. It was old because the book had neither a cover nor a back cover. In other words, the title and publication date could not be seen, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of the book.

Lu Xianying flipped through a few pages with doubt.

After just a few pages, he suddenly became alert, and a brilliant light burst out from his dark pupils.

Lu Xianying's tired and weathered face suddenly brightened up.

All of this was within Jiang Nian's expectations.

Because the book she took out was a work of the times that she had searched for in a corner of the treasure house of the universe for a long time.

It is Hawking's "A Brief History of Time".

The first edition of this book was not released in China until 1988, eleven years later.

Jiang Nian tore off the front and back covers and deliberately mixed the new book with the old one in order to hide this information and prevent Lu Xianying from discovering it at the first time.

Once he finds out who the author of the book is, he will have to use his connections in the capital and have connections abroad. This will take at least half a year.

More than half a year later, Jiang Rending finished his college entrance examination, and Jiang Nian could continue to avoid Lu Xianying.

Even if Lu Xianying wanted to get involved, he couldn't.

Jiang Nian's mind was calculating, and he lowered his head to ask Lu Xianying, "Professor Lu, will you accept this gift for becoming my disciple?"

In other words: Professor Lu, will you accept Jiang Rendong as your student?

When Lu Xianying heard Jiang Nian's words, he was suddenly awakened from the contents of the book. He held the book in his hand and looked up at Jiang Nian with a cunning look in his eyes.

Damn it!

He knew clearly that Jiang Nian had set a trap for him, but he jumped into it willingly.

Lu Xianying was not angry, nor was he unwilling, it was just that the mystery surrounding Jiang Nian was getting bigger and bigger, which made him more and more curious. However, Jiang Nian gave him this book just to shut him up.
