Chapter 318 A Slap in the Face on the Spot, Pei Tianyi in a Disgraceful State [1 Update]
He looked over, but he wasn't entirely convinced.
He had seen the question issued by the International Physics Center, and it was indeed a difficult problem.
However, his major was not physics, but biochemistry, so he only glanced at it.
Not to mention, quantum mechanics has always been a difficult problem to solve in the physics community. Even if a student is very talented, it would be impossible for him to solve it.
But Zuo Li was different.
Pei Tianyi, on the contrary, felt that Zuo Li had the ability.
If Zuo Li first gave his students the solution, those extremely talented students would indeed be able to figure it out.
Thinking about this, Pei Tianyi wasn't so surprised anymore.
Professor Herwin, however, sat up straight, his expression becoming more serious: "The door isn't locked, please come in."
The door opened only after he finished speaking.
Pei Tianyi's previously nonchalant expression suddenly stopped, and he looked at the girl standing at the door with slight surprise.
Ying Zijing walked in, took off her hat, and extended her hand: "Hello, Professor Herwin."
The moment she opened her mouth, it was a perfect British accent, Queen's English.
At this, the other teachers in the meeting room also looked over, and they were all quite surprised.
Herwin was born into the royal family of Country Y, and although he no longer has any connection with the royal family of Country Y, he still speaks standard Queen's Englisch.
Queen's Englisch is popular among prominent families, the entertainment industry, and academic circles in Europe, but nowadays there aren't many people who can speak standard Queen's Englisch.
The elite families believed that the royal English accent represented authority and taste, and the actors were chosen because of their profession.
Among scholars, Herwin's pronunciation is the most standard.
Pei Tianyi never expected that Ying Zijin, a Chinese, would actually study Queen's English.
This royal English accent is captivating; the tone alone is enough to draw you in.
“Hello, Ying.” Herwin stood up and extended his hand, his voice filled with undisguised surprise. “I didn’t expect that even though you are Chinese, you speak English better than me, a native speaker.”
English is his native language, so he certainly understands better than anyone how difficult it is for someone learning a foreign language to speak Queen's English well.
Ying Zijing shook hands with him and nodded slightly: "If the professor is interested, I can help you learn Chinese."
"Of course, of course." Herwin was very happy. "Thank you for making this trip. Professor Zuo Li said you are very capable, and I do have things I need to learn from you."
Ying Zijin sat down next to him, and Herwin took out the materials he had brought from O Continent.
The two were speaking in English.
Herwin was worried that there might be some parts she wouldn't understand, so he explained some basic knowledge.
Ying Zijin listened without making any comments.
“Professor,” Pei Tianyi finally spoke, this time in German, not English, “You really would be better off talking to Professor Zuo Li. We could go to the capital. There’s really no need to waste time here.”
In his view, Ying Zijin could only be one of the problem solvers; the real dominant figure was Zuo Li.
Given Herwin's level of expertise, there's really no need for him to be here explaining quantum mechanics to a student.
Ying Zijing turned her head, her gaze falling on Pei Tianyi for the first time: "Interrupting others is quite impolite."
Upon hearing this German sentence, Pei Tianyi paused, feeling a sense of embarrassment.
He spoke German because he thought Ying Zijin couldn't understand it at all.
"Ying can speak German?" Herwin felt more and more that he had discovered a treasure. "At this age, it's not common to know two foreign languages and speak them so well. Do you know any other foreign languages?"
He was very interested in Chinese culture and academia, and he also knew about the college entrance examination system, knowing that high school students didn't have much time to learn extracurricular knowledge.
Ying Zijing thought for a moment: "Those from O Continent should all know how to do it."
Apart from some ancient countries whose civilizations have all perished.
Pei Tianyi chuckled.
He had never seen anyone so good at boasting.
All cities?
Does Ying Zijing know how many languages are spoken in O Continent?
Even if you knew, who has the ability to learn it all?
Herwin nodded, his eyes showing increasing appreciation, and continued speaking.
Herwin did most of the talking, and Ying Zijin listened.
However, as they listened to the later parts, there were too many technical terms, and the other people in the meeting room didn't quite understand them.
Just then, a loud clap of thunder sounded outside.
Pei Tianyi stood up, lifted the curtain and glanced out: "It's raining, quite heavily."
Upon hearing this, Herwin glanced at the time and was surprised to realize that three hours had already passed, and it was already ten o'clock.
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "I'm going back to O continent soon, and I don't know when we'll be able to meet again."
After saying that, Herwin turned to Pei and said, "It's so late, it's not safe for Ying to be alone. Why don't you take her there?"
Pei Tianyi frowned, not really wanting to agree.
He could tell that although Ying Yuexuan and Ying Zijin were sisters, they didn't have a good relationship.
No matter what, Ying Yuexuan is his junior sister, and he has ulterior motives.
He secretly went to see Ying Zijin off behind Ying Yuexuan's back. Ying Yuexuan will definitely be upset when she finds out.
"No need." Ying Zijing put on her coat, pushed open the door, and walked out. "Someone is here to pick me up, Professor. See you again sometime."
“Okay, then we’ll definitely meet again.” Herwin looked at Pei Tianyi again, frowning for the first time: “Pei, classmate?”
Pei Tianyi took a deep breath, got up, grabbed two umbrellas, and went outside.
**
Outside the hotel.
The rain came suddenly, without any warning in the weather forecast. Many pedestrians were running in the rain without umbrellas.
A tall, slender man stood at the bottom of the steps, holding an umbrella.
Despite the torrential rain and muddy roads, he remained completely unaffected, retaining his captivating elegance.
Fu Yunshen didn't have to wait long before he saw the girl come out of the revolving door.
With this rain, the temperature also dropped sharply.
Fu Yunshen stepped forward, gently pressed Ying Zijing's waist, and pulled her closer to him, but quickly let go.
He tilted the umbrella in his hand toward her: "Yaoyao, you're definitely not dressed warmly enough today. You should change into a down jacket in this temperature."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing's gaze lingered on him for two seconds.
Despite the cold weather, he was still wearing a very thin black shirt.
This reminded her, whose memory has never been very good, of the first time they met, in the snow, when he was dressed the same way.
Ying Zijing's gaze paused slightly.
She found no trace of alchemy on Fu Yunshen.
But there are indeed many miraculous medicinal herbs in this world that can change one's constitution.
However, this medicinal herb is so rare that it is almost nonexistent, and its availability depends entirely on luck.
“Brother is healthy, he can recover quickly from serious injuries.” Fu Yunshen noticed her gaze, and gently tapped her forehead with his free hand, his tone lazy, “Little girl, you are still growing, you can’t compare.”
He ruffled her hair and shielded her, saying, "Let's go, get in the car."
Just then, Pei Tianyi came out.
Before he could even follow Herwin's instructions to see Ying Zijing off, he saw that she had already gotten into a car.
Pei Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed Fu Yunshen.
He could only see Fu Yunshen's profile; the rain was heavy, and he could only make out that he was a very handsome young man.
At that moment, the man seemed to turn around and glance at him.
Pei Tianyi felt a chill run down his spine, sensing an unprecedented sense of oppression.
It wasn't until a new, biting wind blew past that Pei Tianyi snapped out of his daze, but the Maserati had already vanished.
He felt a complex mix of emotions, and stood there blankly for a while before returning to the hotel.
Herwin was still in the conference room, tidying up, when he saw him come back like this, he was very displeased: "Didn't you take Ying home?"
“His family came to pick her up.” Pei Tianyi put down the umbrella. “I watched him leave with my own eyes.”
Hearing this, Herwin didn't say anything more and nodded: "Book the plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon. I have something to do in the morning and need to go out."
**
Thirty minutes later.
The rain stopped just as the Maserati entered the Wen family's residential area.
Fu Yunshen stopped the car: "Yaoyao, we're here."
There was no response, only the sound of soft breathing.
Fu Yun's brows twitched slightly. He turned his head and, as expected, found that the girl was asleep.
She curled up in the blanket, quiet and still in a sleeping position that suggested insecurity.
Fu Yunshen opened the door and got out of the car, then walked around to the passenger side.
This time, he picked her up without any hesitation.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes.
His fingers gently stroked the girl's face, and he leaned his head slightly closer.
