In mid-to-late August 2009, Lin Zhixia spent two weeks at the Beijing Huairou Military Training Base.
The student dormitories at the military training base are all in the upper and lower bunk beds. Lin Zhixia slept in the lower bunk, and she formed a deep comradeship with a classmate in the upper bunk.
The classmate's name was Feng Yuan, and Lin Zhixia liked her name very much. Because "Feng Yuan" is pronounced the same as "Feng Yuan" and "Feng Yuan", Lin Zhixia thought the name was very clever.
Feng Yuan is 17 years old and comes from a southern city. She is the top scorer in the science subject of the college entrance examination in a certain province this year, and also won first prizes in both mathematics and physics provincial competitions.
Feng Yuan's parents are both university professors. She grew up in a family environment full of mathematics and has an innate talent for mathematics. Lin Zhixia and she hit it off right away, and the two often discussed number theory and dynamical systems. Feng Yuan praised Lin Zhixia: "You have read a lot of books, and you are so smart."
Lin Zhixia repeated: "Smart and obedient?"
"It's a local dialect," Feng Yuan explained. "It's used to praise someone's intelligence."
Lin Zhixia laughed.
During the military training, Lin Zhixia was recognized by many college classmates. The girls in the same dormitory agreed that Lin Zhixia's intelligence was extraordinary - she could remember everything and was familiar with various theories.
She was only fourteen years old, and like many of her classmates, she got up at six o'clock every morning, folded her quilts, stood in military posture, marched in formation, and participated in training.
The sun was blazing, the sky was filled with yellow sand, the camouflage uniform was soaked with sweat and dried by the sun, but Lin Zhixia persevered, even though she felt very tired, she did not cry out. But when she lay in bed late at night, holding the little penguin doll in her arms, she missed her father, mother, brother and Jiang Yubai especially.
After the military training, Lin Zhixia was reborn.
When she stepped into the door of the university's undergraduate dormitory, she was deeply moved.
Although the accommodation conditions at Peking University are not as good as those at Tsinghua University next door, and although the undergraduate dormitories still have bunk beds, what does it matter? A university is a place of freedom and a place for teaching and educating people. Lin Zhixia should pursue a spiritual realm.
Yes!
Spiritual realm!
Lin Zhixia happily welcomes her undergraduate life.
Lin Zhixia lived in Room 401. Her roommates were all very friendly. Feng Yuan still slept on the bunk above her. The nearby dormitories were even more crowded with talented people, including the top 200 students in the college entrance examinations of various provinces, gold and silver medal winners in various competitions, and Lin Zhixia's alumni from the Provincial No. 1 Middle School.
The alumni of Provincial No. 1 High School set up a QQ group, and senior Luo Ying is also in this group.
Luo Ying is a sophomore student in the School of Mathematics at our school. She and Lin Zhixia have a deep friendship. Back then, they lived in the same room in the national training team, and later they formed a team to go abroad to participate in the 2007 Romania Mathematics Masters Competition. Luo Ying has always taken good care of Lin Zhixia.
On the day Lin Zhixia returned from the military training base, Luo Ying took time out to help her pack her things, familiarize her with the campus, and take her to the school cafeteria for meals.
After not seeing each other for a whole year, Senior Luo Ying is still the same as before. She is slim, with fair skin and a natural fragrance when she walks. Whenever she holds Lin Zhixia's wrist, Lin Zhixia will think of her brother. She can feel the care that Senior Luo Ying gives her, which is full of the care that a brother or sister has for a younger sister.
Lin Zhixia wanted to share everything she saw and heard with Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai and she had a tacit understanding. On the day she officially moved into dormitory 401, Jiang Yubai called her and asked her out for dinner. She agreed without hesitation and even put on her favorite skirt.
It was an evening in late summer and early autumn, and the streets were already a little chilly. Jiang Yubai stood outside the university gate, patiently waiting for Lin Zhixia to show up.
At that time, the sun was setting, and the sunset glow dyed the sky, illuminating the colorful brocade.
The golden smoke was like a backdrop between heaven and earth. Jiang Yubai looked into the distance and saw Lin Zhixia running towards him. She was wearing a dress, a thin coat, and a backpack. Her hair was slightly messed up by the night wind.
Her eyes were startlingly bright, especially when she saw him. She did not hide her joy at all and started circling around him: "Jiang Yubai, I'm a college student now, a college student in the School of Mathematics..."
Jiang Yubai described it truthfully: "A college student who has published two papers."
Lin Zhixia stopped and stood in front of him: "Did you just get out of school?"
That’s right, Jiang Yubai had just finished school.
Lin Zhixia is already an undergraduate student, while Jiang Yubai is still working hard to learn high school knowledge. However, Jiang Yubai believes that as long as he works hard enough, maybe... he can complete his undergraduate studies before Dr. Lin Zhixia graduates.
He led Lin Zhixia to the parking area. He stood beside a car and opened the door for Lin Zhixia himself.
Lin Zhixia was a little hesitant: "Where are we going?"
"My home in Beijing." Jiang Yubai said.
Lin Zhixia carried a small purse across her body, which contained only her cell phone, keys, cash, and campus card. She took out a 100-yuan note and suggested, "I want to treat you to a meal at a nearby restaurant."
Jiang Yubai always remembered that the day Lin Zhixia went to his house to visit his private collection, she left early and he didn't have time to celebrate for her.
Now, Lin Zhixia was admitted to the top university in the country. Jiang Yubai thought that as Lin Zhixia's best friend, he should take the initiative to treat her with a sumptuous meal.
Jiang Yubai held the car door with one hand and announced the names of the dishes: "Tonight we have Peking duck, pearl shrimp balls, blue crab and orange..." He had only said half of it when Lin Zhixia got into his car.
He sat with her in the back seat.
The driver drove quietly, taking them along the highway. Tall buildings receded rapidly, and the street lights formed a long golden line, each of which emitted a fleeting stream of light.
To Lin Zhixia, this city was completely unfamiliar. Jiang Yubai was the only person she was most familiar with, a good friend she had known for five years. She was relaxed and asked casually, "I haven't eaten Beijing roast duck yet. Is there any difference between it and the roast duck we have back home?"
Jiang Yubai only said: "You will soon be able to experience it yourself."
Lin Zhixia asked again: "Jiang Yubai, your second year of high school has started. Is there any difference compared to last semester?"
Jiang Yubai unzipped his schoolbag. He took out a notebook with a "September tutoring schedule" and an IELTS notice on it. Jiang Yubai told Lin Zhixia, "I signed up for the IELTS next month."
Lin Zhixia picked up the paper, read it over and over again, and then said: "In the IELTS test, 9 is the highest score. I hope you can get 9."
"Yeah." Jiang Yubai replied with a hint of confidence.
Lin Zhixia stared at him for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember my cell phone number?"
After Lin Zhixia entered university, she had her own mobile phone and number. She sent the number to Jiang Yubai via QQ, and that night, Jiang Yubai memorized the string of numbers.
At this moment, she emphasized: "My mobile phone number has your birthday on it. I chose it specially. I chose the number closest to your birthday from among the numbers provided by China Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom."
Jiang Yubai was originally leaning back in his chair calmly. When Lin Zhixia finished speaking, his heartstrings tightened unconsciously. He clasped his fingers together, sat up straight, and asked her in a low voice: "Why did you choose this?"
Lin Zhixia said: "I am always happy when I play with you. I have always believed that a good mood will bring good luck. I use your birthday as my mobile phone number because I hope I will always have good luck."
