Chapter 77: Being asked to leave, she was worried
"Does it matter?" she asked instead of answering.
Xu Kaiqing thought without hesitation: "Of course it's important!"
Jiang Fuyue thought to herself: Was her friendship with Old Xu so deep in her previous life?
"I could tell you, but—"
She changed the subject, "I can only tell you."
As for Xie Dingyuan...
Just stay where it’s cool!
"Hey! A Yuan, look at this..."
The man was very self-aware and neither annoyed nor angry: "I'll wait outside."
After saying that, he walked away, not forgetting to close the door.
"Mr. Jiang, can you tell me now?"
"Okay," Jiang Fuyue nodded, "but before I say anything, I have two questions."
Xu Kaiqing said seriously: "You say."
"What is your relationship with him?"
The old man was stunned. He was worried...
"Like-minded friends, confidants who understand and cherish each other."
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "Second question, why are you looking for him?"
"To be honest, my old partner and I haven't been able to prove the experimental hypothesis he left behind. Only by finding him can we break through the bottleneck and gain new inspiration."
Jiang Fuyue remembered.
Back then, she just mentioned it casually during her online communication with Xu and Peter.
I didn’t expect that these two people actually spent twenty years on research!
"...Since it's just a guess, there's a chance it could be wrong. You don't have to..."
"No!" Xu Kaiqing stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with solemnity. As if expressing his faith, he spoke each word with great emphasis, "He can't be wrong, and he can't be wrong!"
Jiang Fuyue was in a trance for a moment.
"My dear classmate, I can see that you are in a difficult situation. Although I don't know the reason, I still hope that if possible, you can reveal something, even a clue, so that we can continue the investigation. To be honest, we have been looking for him for twenty years and have no news during this period. It is really..."
Xu Kaiqing's throat was hesitant. "I can't wait for another twenty years."
Jiang Fuyue lowered her eyes and suppressed the ripples in her eyes.
"You haven't even met each other, how can you become close friends?" She whispered softly, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her voice.
The ridicule is directed at myself, not at Xu Kaiqing.
What virtue and ability does Lou Mingyue have?
"You can't say that, even though we didn't—" Wait!
Xu Kaiqing snapped back to his senses, his eyes trembling and his lips quivering: "How do you know we haven't met before?!"
…
Xie Dingyuan waited outside for twenty minutes.
During this time, the door was closed and no sound was heard in the reception room.
He stood straight in the corridor, his eyes looking into the distance, still with that indifferent expression, his emotions difficult to discern.
Twenty minutes later, the door opened from the inside.
The old man walked out with a smile, and Jiang Fuyue followed beside him. The distance between the two had obviously broken the boundaries of strangers, and was even closer than Xie Dingyuan.
"...Keep in touch, you must keep in touch!" Before leaving, Xu Kaiqing earnestly instructed Jiang Fuyue.
He was not a talkative person and was always concise when guiding graduate students and doctoral students. But now, facing Jiang Fuyue, he became an ordinary old man who kept nagging.
Xie Dingyuan saw it all, his face remained expressionless, but his eyes were deep.
It seems that this Jiang Fuyue... is indeed not simple.
In addition to attracting young boys to fight for her, she also has a lot of tricks to coax the elderly.
He didn't know what the two of them talked about in there, but the smile on Old Xu's face was real.
"Alright, alright, go back to class. Don't send me off. I can walk on my own. Although I'm not as strong as I was back then... cough... I'm still getting stronger and stronger!"
"Okay, then I'll go back. Take your time." Jiang Fuyue really didn't see him off, and his tone was casual, even skipping the honorific.
"Hey~" Xu Kaiqing acted as if nothing had happened. Not only did he not care, he also agreed readily.
This gentle tune...
How to say it?
Xie Dingyuan actually heard a hint of... "flattery" in it?
No, no, no, he must have heard it wrong!
Jiang Fuyue turned and left. Xu Kaiqing watched her walk away with a kind look in his eyes and a smile as warm as spring sunshine.
Xie Dingyuan: "..." Maybe I heard it right?
It's very weird!
…
That night, Xu Kaiqing logged into the S-SA backend exactly at the agreed time, and then did nothing but stare at the computer screen, not wanting to blink even once.
Half a minute later, he finally squatted down!
I saw with my own eyes that the avatar of [Wo Zi Chou Xin] changed from black and white to bright colors, but there was an additional lock-shaped pattern in the lower right corner, indicating that the other party was in invisible mode.
So, there were no electronic fireworks or irises blooming this time.
It was as calm as usual, except for...Xu Kaiqing's heart which was pounding with excitement.
Xu: Chou, it really is you! It’s amazing!
【我送愁心】: I said before that we will meet again.
Xu Kaiqing stared at the word "Goodbye" in the dialog box with a complicated expression.
He never imagined that the person who reached the pinnacle of the academic world was actually a woman!
Note, it’s the academic community! Not the physics community!
The breadth of knowledge about "sorrow" was already unfathomable twenty years ago.
Also, she can't even be called a "woman", she can only be considered a "girl".
At that moment, Xu Kaiqing didn't believe it. He was still mentally sound. "Chou" had become famous twenty years ago, and Jiang Fuyue was only seventeen years old this year, a high school student who hadn't even reached the "academic" threshold!
It's absolutely ridiculous!
How could she be "sorrowful"? How could she be "sorrowful"?
But when she accurately mentioned "Lapland experiment", "Turin conjecture" and "Holder curve", Xu Kaiqing had to believe it.
Because these experimental results have never been published, they were just names they called out for convenience during their online discussion.
For example, the "Lapland Experiment" got its name because it involves discussions about poles, extreme values and limits, and the city of Lapland happens to be located within the Arctic Circle.
Apart from Old Peter and Xu Kaiqing himself, the only person in the world who knows this term is - worry!
"Don't ask anything. There won't be any answers even if you ask." Jiang Fuyue said this in response to his doubts.
Although Xu Kaiqing was curious, he was not troubled.
In his opinion, the purpose of finding out the identity of "Chou" was to find "him". Now that he has found him, there is no need to worry about who "Chou" is.
Gender and age are nothing but clouds in the road of scientific research; only strength can speak.
Of course, he was not unaware of the "weird and mysterious" things that might exist here.
But Einstein said: The end of science is theology.
So, no matter what happened to "Chou", he didn't find it strange. After all, he was called, oh no, should I say "her", a "scientific research genius" and the "light of academia"?
It is not just the martial arts world that admires the strong; the same is true in the academic field.
[Xu]: I have already informed Peter, and he is eager to fly over immediately, but this year's BCI exchange meeting has just opened, and he has been invited to attend and is temporarily unable to get away.
Xu: I've already prepared my recommendation letters, so I can enroll directly at Q University when the semester starts in September. Do you plan to start as a graduate student or go straight to a doctoral program?
[Xu]: With your ability, I think the starting point for graduate studies is too low. You should go straight to a Ph.D. program... Actually, going straight to a Ph.D. program is not a good idea either. It's such a waste of time. How about going to a postdoctoral mobile station?
Jiang Fuyue, who was sitting in front of the computer, asked: "?"
Although you are the dean of the School of Physics at Q University and a national treasure-level academician, do you really have to be so arrogant?
