Chapter 314 She liked it; she participated in the history of the evolution of the English language [3 updates]
Pei Tianyi and Ying Yuexuan have known each other for a year, and he quite likes his junior sister.
She is serious, ambitious, and doesn't become arrogant or frivolous just because she comes from a wealthy family.
Therefore, Pei Tianyi would strive to seize any good opportunities for Ying Yuexuan.
He knew that a research delegation was coming to China, but he didn't know at first that it would be visiting Qingzhi Middle School. After receiving the news, he took the initiative to apply to his superiors and came along.
Whether they knew Middle English or not was not important; what mattered was that the person who received them was Ying Yuexuan.
This will give Ying Yuexuan more opportunities for future development.
Hearing Pei Tianyi say this, Teacher Deng's expression turned serious, and her brows furrowed even more: "So, Pei is quite proficient in Middle English?"
While studying the history of O continent, she also studied Middle English for a period of time.
Because some niche books are indeed only available in Middle English.
"I wouldn't presume to be an expert; I only have a superficial understanding," Pei Tianyi said. "I know my request is somewhat abrupt, but Professor Deng should also know that I will learn a lot from hosting this research delegation."
Teacher Deng was indeed aware of this.
This research delegation was composed of Elan School and several other high schools from O continent. Apart from some teachers, the professor leading the team enjoys a very high reputation internationally.
That's why she had Ying Zijing receive them.
Pei Tianyi then spoke up again: "Besides, Yuexuan and I are familiar with each other, so it's easier for us to get along."
As he spoke, he took a box out of his backpack: "The decision was sudden. This is a small apology gift. Please give it to that student, Teacher Deng."
Having said that, Teacher Deng had no choice but to nod and say, "I understand."
Having members of Chinese descent in the research team makes communication easier.
So Teacher Deng went back to her office first, pondering how to start the conversation, and finally told the truth.
After listening, Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow: "Middle English?"
“You may not be very familiar with the history of the development of English.” Teacher Deng nodded. “Old English was spoken from the 5th to the 12th century AD. Later, it evolved into Middle English. After the 16th century, Middle English underwent a new round of simplification, which became the modern English we learn today.”
Ying Zijin thought for a moment: "I know a little bit."
She spent a long time with the royal family of Country Y, serving as their official astrologer.
She has witnessed how Middle English evolved into Modern English.
"It was wrong of me to think that you should learn from them," Teacher Deng sighed and handed her the gift box. "This is their apology gift to you."
Ying Zijin didn't mind and nodded: "No need. Since you don't need me to go, I'll go back."
Teacher Deng nodded: "Go ahead."

Class 19.
"Hey, Father Ying." Xiu Yu, who was playing on his phone, was taken aback when he saw the girl return. "Weren't you with your teacher to receive that research delegation?"
“Someone has gone.” Ying Zijing leaned back in her chair, her eyes languid. “That’s good.”
She originally didn't want to waste her time hosting any research delegations, but she only did it because Professor Deng made the request.
"Who's so kind?" Xiu Yu asked casually upon hearing this, not really caring. "It just so happens that you're free. Let's help each other on the charts."
"What?" Ying Zijing turned her head and saw the voting interface on Xiu Yu's phone screen.
This time, "Youth 202" is different from "Youth 101". Before the official start of the talent show, the information of 101 contestants has been released online. At this time, it is a popularity vote.
Xiu Yu stroked his chin: "When I'm in a bad mood, looking at handsome guys makes me feel better."
"Where's your son?" Jiang Ran looked up when he heard the noise and said sarcastically, "You've changed your mind so quickly?"
"You don't know anything." Xiu Yu ignored him. "My son is still my son, of course. Can a fan be the same as your true love?"
Jiang Ran: "..."
After Ying Zijing casually helped Xiu Yu cast his vote, a new message arrived on WeChat.
It is Zuo Li.
【Ying, the International Physics Center has released a challenging problem related to quantum mechanics and space physics. Would you like to give it a try?】
Before Ying Zijing could reply, a second message arrived.
[I've heard the answer: there's money at stake! Whoever solves this first gets a million US dollars!!!]
The last three exclamation marks were as if they were afraid she wouldn't give it a try.
Ying Zijin pressed her head and replied with two words.
Okay.
A minute later, she received a research topic from Zuo Li in her email.
Ying Zijing glanced at it and closed it first, then turned her head and said, "Tell me, what does it mean when a man keeps saying to you, 'Little kid, call me brother,' and lately he's been telling you to be a little more disrespectful to him?"
"Holy crap!" Xiu Yu was so shocked he almost dropped his phone. "Who dared to be so bold as to talk to you like that?"
There are countless people in Qingzhili who like Ying Zijin, but very few dare to confess their feelings directly.
"Is there even a question?" Xiu Yu steadied himself. "What else could this be but liking you?"
Ying Zijing said thoughtfully, "I don't think so."
"Huh? Why?" Xiu Yu couldn't understand. "The signal is quite obvious."
“Because—” Ying Zijin slowly unscrewed the water glass, “He also told my younger brother to call me ‘brother’ once.”
Xiu Yu: "..."

On the other side.
After settling the teachers and professors in the group, Pei Tianyi went to find Ying Yuexuan.
His appearance caused a sensation in the elite class, and everyone cast envious glances at Ying Yuexuan.
There was only one spot available to go to O Continent at the time, and since Zhong Zhiwan didn't go, it naturally fell to Ying Yuexuan.
Ying Yuexuan was also pleasantly surprised. She followed Pei Tianyi out and asked, "Senior brother, are you here?"
“Yes, I’m here.” Pei Tianyi smiled. “I was thinking of giving you a surprise, so I didn’t tell you. It just so happens that I’ve been away from China for a long time, so I took this opportunity to come back and visit.”
He paused, then frowned: "Why didn't Qingzhi choose you to receive them?"
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips: "Because I'm not good enough."
"Not good enough?" Pei Tianyi frowned even more. "If you're not good enough, how could you possibly go to O Continent for an exchange program?"
Ying Yuexuan didn't say anything.
"Let's not talk about it. I've already asked your school's teachers to replace you as the person receiving us." Pei Tianyi noticed that her expression wasn't quite right, so he didn't ask any further questions. "It's good that you're coming with us to translate some books. Do you remember the Middle English you learned back then?"
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I only learned a little bit back then." Ying Yuexuan paused, feeling very apologetic. "After I came back, I didn't review much, and I've almost forgotten everything."
Unless you are a linguist, there is absolutely no point in studying Middle English.
After all, she doesn't need it in her daily life anymore, and she has more things to do.
However, she always felt a secret sense of comfort knowing that she could receive the research delegation in place of Ying Zijin.
Ying Yuexuan shook her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about it.
“It’s okay.” Pei Tianyi didn’t care, which was within his expectations. “You can just come with me. You have to take the college entrance exam next year, so you don’t need to focus on this kind of thing.”
Ying Yuexuan said, "Then thank you, senior brother."
“I’ve also been following the ISC qualifiers,” Pei Tianyi added. “Your ranking is already very high, so you’re guaranteed to make it to the international finals. I came here this time because I was really curious about the number one on the global leaderboard. This number one is truly amazing; they’re absolutely brilliant.”
He sighed, "You wouldn't believe it, all the professors I know are thinking of getting to know 'him' once he appears at the top of the overall rankings."
“Senior brother, the number one on the overall ranking has appeared, it’s a streamer,” Ying Yuexuan said. “I’ll watch ‘his’ streams.”
Pei Tianyi was surprised: "It's a streamer? Then give me the streamer's room number, I'll check it out when I get back tonight."
Ying Yuexuan wrote a string of numbers for him.
Pei Tianyi took it and nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the professor."

The Fu family.
Su Ruan had no idea that Su Lianghui had used her to create a stir online.
Although she still regrets it in her heart, regretting that she broke off the engagement.
If not, she would already be the envy of all the wealthy socialites in the capital.
However, Su Ruan knew that if she went to see Fu Yunshen again, she would only humiliate herself, so she gave up.
Fu Yihan is no less impressive; he is the current head of the Fu family.
After Fu Mingcheng and his wife were taken away, she no longer had the trouble of dealing with her in-laws, nor did she have to suffer any grievances.
However, Fu Yihan has been busy with company matters these past few days and hasn't come back.
But today Su Ruan received a call from his secretary saying that Fu Yihan would be going home that evening, so she dressed up carefully.
Sure enough, Fu Yihan returned at seven o'clock.
"Yihan." Su Ruan immediately ran downstairs, her eyes filled with hope. "Your birthday is coming soon. I booked a travel itinerary. Let's go on a trip together?"
She and Fu Yihan don't have children yet, and it would be best if they could have one.
Su Ruan knew that Fu Yihan was a very responsible person and wouldn't go out and mess around like other scions of wealthy families.
Once she has a child, her position in the Fu family will be secure.
Regardless, Fu Yunshen still had to call her sister-in-law.
Fu Yihan glanced at her coldly, his expression blank. He handed her the documents in his hand, his voice indifferent and devoid of warmth: "Sign it."
Su Ruan was taken aback: "What?"
Promise me you won't send me those terrifying things like "challenge bombs" or "challenge charms" for urging me to update, okay? TvT
Thank you all for your support. We will be starting a group for this book next year!
