Chapter 308: Master Jiu comes to his senses and falls in love with her (Part 1)
Xie Dingyuan took a cold shower, but still came out steaming.
Because, I am restless.
He glanced at the bed, and the next second, he suddenly pulled off the sheets, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into the corner.
He actually...
Xie Dingyuan gritted his teeth, as if he couldn't accept his current situation.
Shame, embarrassment, embarrassment, all kinds of emotions surged up at once.
He simply left the bedroom and went straight to the study.
The unlit space seemed dark and desolate. The man sat stiffly behind his desk, letting the darkness swallow him up.
If you don't know, you might think your wife ran away...
The words that Shen Qiannan blurted out unintentionally rang in his ears again.
And in that absurd dream not long ago, he kept shouting: "Wife..."
Xie Dingyuan knew that he had encountered a difficult problem.
This problem is more difficult than explaining the nature of black holes, exploring the ultimate efficiency of photoelectric cells, and manufacturing magnetic semiconductors at room temperature!
He seemed to be in academic trouble.
What did he do when he encountered this situation before?
Yes, check the information!
Xie Dingyuan turned on his computer and opened the commonly used academic search engine. When he was about to type, he suddenly stopped.
The question is - what keywords to use?
Abnormal heartbeat? Unexplained blushing? Psychological shortness of breath?
Or... delusion? Hallucination? Mid-adolescence?
He tried them one by one, but the results he got could not explain his current condition.
The man sat in front of the computer, the light from the screen shining on his face, and he could see his brows furrowed in confusion, and the lingering confusion in his eyes.
In a trance, he recalled the scene in his dream just now, when Jiang Fuyue climbed over the wall into his bedroom.
The two fell on the same bed, covered with the same quilt, she pressed against him, breathing so close...
Their eyes met, and he saw his own expression distorted by endurance in the girl's dark pupils.
Then, the self-control I prided myself on collapsed, and what happened next...
Xie Dingyuan quickly stopped thinking, not daring to think any further. Those details were really...
Too shameful.
He searched for the keyword "dreaming" and soon, relevant papers popped up. He clicked on one of them titled "Cognitive Neuroscience Theory and Mechanism of Dreaming."
… Existing studies have shown that dreaming is a function of specific brain regions (temporo-parietal-occipital junction, prefrontal cortex, and limbic system), and the activation of these brain regions may explain the cognitive characteristics of perception, consciousness, and emotion during dreaming. [1]
So, dreaming is the activation of specific brain areas.
So why are specific brain areas activated?
Vasopressin——posterior pituitary hormone!
This was Xie Dingyuan's first reaction as a biologist.
By analogy, phenylethylamine, endorphin, and norepinephrine also instantly flooded into my mind.
Phenylethylamine, or PEA, is a stimulant that instills energy, confidence, and courage. Its effects can cause accelerated breathing and heart rate, along with sweaty palms, flushed complexion, and, most notably, pupil dilation.
Very good, the answers to all his symptoms have been found, Xie Dingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, his eyes suddenly fixed on a row of inconspicuous small words in the lower right corner -
"As long as you generate enough PEA in your brain, love will follow."
Love?!
Xie Dingyuan's face changed drastically, as if he had touched some unknown territory. His breathing became rapid and his scalp felt numb.
…
Shen Qiannan has fallen asleep.
But I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone.
The first time, he turned it down.
The second time, he continued to press it.
But the opponent seemed very persistent. He kept hanging on this side and kept hitting on the other side.
Finally, after countless times, Shen Qiannan grabbed the phone like an angry lion, and roared, shaking the ceiling: "You better be in a hurry!"
There was silence on the other end.
"No... Who are you? You called me but didn't say anything? Are you sick?" He took the phone and looked at the screen, his eyes suddenly widened the next second.
Xie Dingyuan?
Shen Qiannan couldn’t believe it.
He was afraid that the eye boogers would blur his vision, so he rubbed his eyes twice and blinked hard.
It was indeed Xie Dingyuan, and now he was completely sober.
"...Old Xie, what's going on? Are you sleepwalking?"
Aren't you usually asleep at this time?
Don’t ask him why he knows this. The reason is that Xie Dingyuan is even obsessive-compulsive about his bedtime.
"I have a question." The voice on the other end finally spoke, its tone deep, like a lead block wrapped in a high-density sponge.
Shen Qiannan was stunned: “You ask.”
"Phenylephrine, endorphins, norepinephrine, and posterior pituitary hormone levels in the body rise. Outward symptoms include dilated blood vessels, increased blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar levels, along with feelings of suffocation and panic. What does this mean?"
"Fuck! Are you on drugs?!"
"……no."
"The symptoms you mentioned are clearly the effects of taking drugs. Where are you now? I'll be right there! When did you take it? How much? Are you still sober now? You..."
"Shen, Qian, Nan! I say again, I'm not taking drugs!"
He paused while putting on his clothes and sat back on the bed. "Then why did you suddenly do this? Calling me at this hour sounds like you're high on drugs, understand?"
"That's why I asked you why this happened." His voice was still low, but if you listened carefully you could find a hint of confusion in it.
Shen Qiannan: “You ask me?”
Xie Dingyuan: "Yeah."
"I'm a physics major, and you're asking me questions based on biology?"
"Any questions?"
"Come on, bro, you're the expert on this!"
Xie Dingyuan frowned and held the phone: "I can confirm that this is not caused by physiological factors."
"If it's not a physiological factor... then it must be a psychological factor?"
There was no response from the other end.
Shen Qiannan became excited: "I can't help you in the field of biology, but I can try psychology. You just said that the body's hormones are rising and the heartbeat is accelerating, right?"
"Um."
"Then under what circumstances do you experience these symptoms? You can't have them anytime, anywhere, for a long time, right?"
The other end hesitated for two seconds: "...When I'm thinking about something."
"What's the matter?" Shen Qiannan asked.
“…”
"It's hard to say?"
“…”
"Okay, let me guess. First of all, it's definitely not academic."
“…”
"Secondly, he's not a family member."
“…”
"There's no such thing as a colleague relationship or personal connections. It's just... women!"
Xie Dingyuan's eyelids twitched, but he still didn't answer.
But silence says it all.
"Old Xie, you're really in trouble! What do you mean by a fast heart rate? Isn't it just your heart beating like a deer, thump thump? Are you saying some demon has taken your soul away?"
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
"No, he was really hooked away?!"
“…”
"Fuck!" Shen Qiannan cursed, "You're so good! You did something so great without telling me! Stop playing dead! Speak!"
Xie Dingyuan: "...You said my soul was taken away, what do you mean?"
"Tsk, you're not playing dead anymore, you're just being stupid, huh? Fine, if you insist on making me chew on my words, then listen carefully! What I'm saying is that you're obsessed with that girl! The thought of her makes my heart beat faster and I feel like I'm suffocating. And you're particularly desiring that girl. Do you know what a kiss is?"
"Just like that, a pull, a hug, a pounce, a kiss. Turn off the lights, and in the darkness, something is brewing. There's a crackling, a creaking, a humming. Do you understand what I mean? Hello? Hello?! Damn...it's dead?"
On the other end, Xie Dingyuan had already thrown away his phone like a hot potato.
There was clearly no fire, but his whole body felt like it was on fire.
Shen Qiannan said that he liked the girl...
So, he's into Jiang Fuyue? !
This realization made him shudder.
The next second, the man suddenly covered his eyes with his hands. The protection of darkness was not enough, and he was escaping.
I don’t know how long it took, but the moon outside the window was no longer in the same position as before.
He slowly lowered his arms, stood up, and straightened the front of his pajamas as if nothing had happened.
Are you interested?
Then take a fancy to it.
…
Jiang Fuyue, on the other hand, had no idea that someone had been thinking about her the whole night, and she slept until dawn.
After washing up and having breakfast, I went to B University to meet Fan Ye and the other two.
Today is the last training before leaving for Country E.
There were only four of them in the huge computer room.
Jiang Fuyue sets the questions and the three of them program, which has almost become a fixed pattern.
No one questioned her authority, and situations like Huo Fanjin's public outburst had never happened in the IOI team.
In Fan Ye's eyes, Jiang Fuyue is the omnipotent Agta.
In the eyes of Huang Hui and Gao Zhaoming, this is an impeccable genius!
The just concluded IPhO also proved this point.
The next morning at nine o'clock, the four of them boarded a plane and embarked on their IOI journey...
First update, 3,000 words.
Second update at 12 o'clock.
This chapter marks a historic turning point! Xie 99 finally faces his own heart.
Don't doubt it, he really doesn't know anything, he is just a little green garlic.
Yesterday the answer was B. Those friends who chose D are also geniuses. They said they had diarrhea because they went out to eat with Shen Qiannan. Hahaha, it was hilarious!
