His exceptional talent and countless honors made him famous at a young age.
But no one expected that he would reject all the offers from top companies as soon as he graduated and choose to return to China to teach at a university.
Because this genius has a secret: he suffers from narcolepsy.
This is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness.
People with narcolepsy may experience uncontrollable drowsiness during the day and fall asleep at inappropriate times and places.
Most importantly, the cause of narcolepsy is still unclear. It may be related to a variety of factors such as genetics and central nervous system dysfunction, and there is no definitive treatment plan.
However, Chi Yuan didn't want to receive treatment because every time he dreamed, he would experience a mathematical frenzy, where countless characters would become regular.
He raced through the realm of mathematics at an incredible speed in his sleep.
Problems that you can't figure out before bed often become clear after a good night's sleep, and you might even be able to apply the knowledge to other situations and innovate.
He could not give up his talent and glory, so he could not give up the disease that accompanied it.
This also led Chi Yuan to live a cautious life from childhood to adulthood, and he didn't even dare to drive.
But fortunately, he has not yet slept in public, such as while teaching students or participating in competitions.
His habit of falling asleep instantly in class when he was young was overshadowed by his brilliance, and everyone regarded this abnormal behavior as the unique style of a genius.
The only interaction between Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan in the original world was that Chi Yuan once bought an iced Americano, but it tasted so bad that he vomited, and he never came back.
Twenty years later, at the age of fifty, Chi Yuan suffered from narcolepsy, which caused severe disruption to his bodily functions during sleep, putting an unbearable strain on his heart and respiratory system.
He passed away three years later.
The passing of a genius is regrettable, but his achievements will live on forever.
Shen Yulou had been selling coffee here for decades, and in his middle age he traveled the world.
Having finished outlining the main storyline, Shen Meiren wrote a sentence on a sticky note:
You need to be a good coffee maker to win over Mr. Chi.
Then I stuck the sticky note on the refrigerator door, intending to read it several times a day to remind myself.
...
Room 210, Building 8, Huai'an University.
"Let's look at this problem in the book. Let A be an n-order symmetric matrix, and the square of A equals A. Prove that the eigenvalues of A can only be 0 or 1."
The tall professor on the podium was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants.
Upon closer inspection, he was described as having a slender and graceful appearance, elegant and refined demeanor, and a serene and divine presence.
The simple clothes looked particularly refreshing and elegant on him.
Although he was a math teacher, he was like a literature professor—a gentleman with a refined and unassuming temperament, like pine and bamboo, untouched by worldly strife.
Most importantly, he wasn't bald; his thick, black hair was particularly eye-catching among the math department professors.
At this moment, he was supporting himself on the podium with one hand and the blackboard with the other, observing the students' movements in the classroom with chalk in hand.
"Has anyone already previewed the material? Raise your hand and tell me the answer; you'll get extra points for participation."
"If you answer well, I'll give you more points."
"Otherwise, I'll have to randomly select people!"
The students couldn't help but panic when they heard about the random selection, and some quickly lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chi Yuan's gaze.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men, and besides, the students who dare to venture into the mathematics department all have something special about them.
Students who really don't know the answer can find it online.
To be honest, most university professors value students' classroom performance and learning attitude more than their intelligence.
So soon someone raised their hand wanting to get extra points.
The failure rate for final exams in the Mathematics Department of Huai'an University is the highest among all majors.
The teachers who set the questions have tried their best to make them as simple as possible in order to improve the students' pass rate.
