Chapter 275 Your Third Brother is a Genius
"Buy a...house?" Duanrao almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"Yes." Mother Du didn't think there was anything wrong with her argument that buying a house was like buying vegetables. She frowned and added, "It's too late. It would be best if we could move in right away. Buy the house tomorrow, and then I'll go shopping with Yuxi to buy some New Year's goods and decorate the house. It should be in time."
Duanrao saw that everyone had skipped the topic of buying a house and started discussing how to decorate the house after buying it, how much food should be prepared in advance for the New Year's Eve dinner, and where to order the food... He finally realized that his parents were really planning to buy an apartment just to spend the New Year in City B.
I hurriedly stopped him and said, "I... I'm fine. That matter will probably be resolved in a day or two, and I can fly back to reunite with you. It's not a big deal. You really don't need to buy a house just to stay with me for the New Year. No one in our family lives here, and this house will probably be left unused after we buy it. What a waste."
"It's not entirely because I want to spend the New Year with you in City B. It's mainly because of your third brother."
"Third brother? What happened to third brother?" Du Anrao turned to look at Du Yihan in confusion.
"Your third brother applied for a guaranteed postgraduate study at University B not long ago and has been approved. He will most likely stay in City B for the next few years. Your father and I are thinking of buying a house outside so that he can have a private place to rest in his free time."
"Yes, yes, and your uncle is here. You may come here to stay often in the future. Although if you come, you will probably stay at your uncle's place, but it's not good to always trouble your uncle to entertain one or two friends to visit your home occasionally. It's more convenient to have your own house outside."
Father Du seemed to have thought of something and frowned, saying, "It seems that one set may not be enough. Why don't we just buy two sets, one for you and one for your third brother?"
Duan Rao: “?!!”
"No, no, really. I don't have many friends to entertain. Just buy one set for the third brother."
Du Yihan also came over, put his arm around Duan Rao's shoulders, and held him in his arms: "Yes, just buy one. For someone like me who has been in charge of the laboratory for many years, I probably won't live in it many times. An An may go there more often than I do. There is no need to buy another one."
When Mr. Du and Mrs. Du heard this, they thought it made sense and nodded. In the end, they didn't dwell on it anymore.
Duanrao breathed a sigh of relief and finally realized what the two had just said.
"Mom, you just said that Third Brother applied for a guaranteed admission to University B, and... passed?"
"right."
"...But isn't he only a junior? This is only the first semester..."
"Who said college students can't skip grades?" Du Yihan proudly flicked Du Anrao's forehead. "To tell you the truth, your third brother is a genius. For a genius, studying by the rules means wasting time."
Duan Rao: “…”
[What kind of Versailles rhetoric is this? When you were in school, you were definitely the number one person that your classmates wanted to put a sack on and beat up.]
Du Yihan: “…” It’s not that hateful.
"Third brother just ran away like this, and his previous school had no objection?"
"What can they say? Keeping me in their school for two years is already their limit. Their laboratory is not equipped to support my subsequent experiments. Staying here will only delay me. They know this better than anyone else. Instead of clinging to me and not letting me leave, it's better to be straightforward and make both of us look good. If I really make some achievements in the future, it will also be a good resume for them."
After Du Yihan's explanation, Du Anrao also understood.
Yes, no matter how her third brother switches jobs to other schools for graduate studies, it cannot be denied that he studied undergraduate at S University. If the third brother works harder and makes some great achievements, he can become an enrollment target for future schools.
From this perspective, there is really no need for the school to fall out with him over such a "small matter". It would be easy to fail if the scale is too small.
"So Brother San will have to stay in City B from now on?"
"Almost. I have to stay here for at least the next few years. And objectively speaking, as the imperial capital, City B is better than City S in terms of economy and culture. As one of the best universities in the country, the investment and construction of laboratories in University B are incomparable to other places. Even if it is to complete the experiment I have, I have to live in City B for a while. As for whether I will settle down in City B for a long time after that, it depends on the progress of my experiment and the learning atmosphere in University B."
"..." As expected of the third brother, a scientific research fanatic, every word he says is about his beloved experiment. Even his future plans only consider this. No one else can be compared to him!
Duan Anrao suddenly had an urge to persuade Ye Mengzhen not to throw herself into the fire for her third brother's face and to stop loving him. It would be useless!
Her third brother only has one wife who is as stable as a rock, and he has endless scientific research experiments on hand. She, a living person, cannot snatch these things from him.
After listening to Du Anrao's complaints, everyone in the Du family said: "..." It seems to be true. Could it be that this terrible son (brother) of their family is really destined to be alone?
Du Yihan didn't care much. Ye Mengzhen? The girl who stood secretly with them at their birthday party last time?
At that time, Du Yihan was busy studying the psychological activities of his new sister and did not have a deep impression of Ye Mengzhen. Now when Du Anrao mentioned her, he only vaguely remembered that she was a cute girl with a little baby fat. It was obvious that she was a child who was spoiled by her family, just like Du Yuxi.
But like Du Anrao said, most of his energy is on his experiments. Falling in love is time-consuming and troublesome, not to mention taking the initiative to take care of a girl, from behavior to emotions, all aspects. Du Yihan felt his head was about to explode just thinking about it. It was a hundred times more strenuous than staying up late to do experiments. So from the beginning he had made up his mind to live in love with his experimental data for the rest of his life, and was destined to disappoint the girl.
"After the New Year, when the school's faculty and staff come back to complete the formalities, I will officially become a member of B University and its experimental team. Would you like to visit our school and laboratory then?"
"Is it possible?" Duan Rao was slightly startled. "I heard that many schools' laboratories are not open to the public. Even their own students are not allowed to enter casually. They are afraid that the experimental data will be leaked and the experimental equipment will be damaged..."
"That's true, but you need to report it in advance and get the consent of the laboratory director. It will be fine if you don't go to the confidential areas where the precision instruments are placed. Do you want to go? If you want to go, I will tell my instructor when I get back and I will arrange a time in advance to take you in for a tour."
