Chapter 461: This is already considered very low-key

11:00 PM.

The twilight was deep, and the air conditioner compressor in the bedroom was buzzing.

Xu Qingzhou was leaning against the head of the bed, replying to messages from Xu Zhengyang and those guys.

The two were worried about being disturbed, and they had to accept the three-hall trial from their parents, and they also had to explain the certificate matter to Guo Ziyang and the others, so their social media was set to be visible only to parents.

Unsurprisingly, when Xu Qingzhou posted that photo of the marriage certificate, the three people in 101 were stunned.

Especially Kong Xianbo.

At this time, he was in his rented house.

Left hand holding instant noodles, the computer screen on his left was about the content of the Central Limit Theorem in function space.

His supervisor was actually okay, Academician Li Zhaohua from Shuimu University.

In the past, everyone said how good it was to have a big shot as a supervisor, but now he found that it seemed a bit idealized.

In two months, he had only seen his supervisor twice; the rest of the time, it was the senior fellow apprentice leading them.

He was still worried about his studies, while others had already reached the peak of love and career. After expressing congratulations and blessings, he began to crusade: "Sealing the heart and locking love? Bah, cheap!"

Xu Zhengyang: "Sealing the heart and locking love? Bah, cheap!"

Zhai Ziqiang: "Sealing the heart and locking love? Bah, cheap!"

Guo Ziyang called Xu Qingzhou directly.

"What's your situation?!"

"Just got a certificate." Xu Qingzhou answered with a chuckle, then asked in surprise: "Eh~ it's this late, and you're still outside?"

Office building.

Guo Ziyang shoved his computer into his bag in a few moves and walked out: "Don't mention it, encountered an online bug, just finished solving it and preparing to go home... that's not the point, you... what do you mean by 'just got a certificate'?!"

Xu Qingzhou briefly explained the matter of getting the certificate today.

"Awesome."

After hearing it, Guo Ziyang only had these two words, simple and direct. Looking at it this way, it really fit the style of Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao.

Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile: "Have you and Ding Jiahui considered this matter?"

"We've chatted about it occasionally. Although we've been dating for several years, but... I always feel that marriage and such are so far away from us."

"Just graduated, it's indeed a bit far away, but I'm different from Song Yao."

Xu Qingzhou answered.

The two had already been together for four years; breaking up and such was impossible unless he wanted to be beaten to death by Song Yao, and compared to a real husband and wife, it was only missing a marriage certificate.

Since that was the case, it was better to just get it.

It was legitimate and could be considered an explanation to both sets of parents.

"In Kyoto... 985, 211, there are a lot of them, and even graduate students don't know when they will be stable, let alone marriage and such."

July 6th, Friday, Chengnan Middle School.

"Professor Xu, what are your thoughts?" Song Yao looked at the school ahead and turned to ask her boyfriend.

Xu Qingzhou's gaze fell on the students occasionally passing by in the school in the distance, and he sighed: "This school uniform, you still look the best in it."

"..."

Song Yao's Qilin arm was about to be unable to restrain itself. This was outside, there were many people, so it was better to wait until they got home to beat him.

The "home" here naturally referred to the apartment in Boston; Wutong Residential Compound and her home were not okay, otherwise it would appear that she often bullied Xu Qingzhou.

Sensing that the woman's expression was unkind, Xu Qingzhou coughed lightly and changed his words: "I originally wanted to be low-key, but... it's hard to be low-key even if I want to."

A bright red banner was hung at the school gate.

【Welcome the famous young mathematician Xu Qingzhou, winner of the Wolf Prize and the Chern Medal, back to his alma mater.】

Whoa, they even hung festive red lanterns.

It looked even livelier than during the holidays in the past.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao headed toward the gate and found that a bunch of people were already standing at the entrance. Apart from Principal Chen Jin, there was also the head teacher Liu Ying and teachers who had taught in the class.

Xu Qingzhou and the others greeted the teachers one by one and smiled helplessly: "Principal Chen, then let's just talk simply. This... isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated, Professor Xu Qingzhou, student Song Yao, please come in." Chen Jin said with a smile.

Dual-appointed professor at MIT and Kyoto University, Wolf Prize in Mathematics, Chern Medal in Mathematics...

The first person since the founding of Chengnan Middle School.

It would be considered low-key if they didn't use loudspeakers to promote it for twenty-four hours.

Chen Jin thought to himself.

The group headed toward the auditorium, and there were many banners on the campus.

【Solely breaking the four major conjectures of Riemann, Cramer, Polignac, and Twin Primes, reconstructing the star map of number theory】

【Winning both the Chern Medal and the Wolf Prize, teaching at the halls of Peking University and MIT, still a youth upon return】

Xu Qingzhou felt a burst of shame.

Small auditorium.

There were no seats set up on the podium, just a host's podium.

Principal Chen Jin spoke on stage first. The process was indeed much streamlined. After saying a few words, it wasn't long before it was Xu Qingzhou's turn.

As a resident guest on the podium, for this kind of activity, he only needed to prepare a draft, and he didn't even need a speech draft.

After the host introduced him, Xu Qingzhou walked onto the podium calmly and stood in front of the microphone.

After the deafening applause gradually subsided, he opened his mouth: "Respected teachers, dear students, good morning everyone."

At this moment, looking at the young man on the stage, all the students were spirited and stared tightly at the young man on the stage.

Legendary senior, the pride of Chengnan Middle School.

They could almost say they grew up listening to the stories of this senior since junior high school.

They were excited, while Xu Qingzhou was filled with emotion.

Below the stage were faces that were young and tender.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, it was the best time of youth, and everything was full of hope.

Compared to this, he seemed to be a bit old.

Xu Qingzhou laughed in his heart and put away his emotion.

"It is a great honor to be able to return to my alma mater again and stand here to share some of my thoughts with you."

"What I want to share with you is not the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis—that requires at least four years of mathematics doctoral courses as a foundation, which is a bit far for you. It is a more essential question: when human beings chisel out new steps on the cliff of science, what exactly are we exploring?"

"What I mainly want to say today is a kind of spirit. Just like the school motto of our Chengnan Middle School: Bright Virtue, Attaining Knowledge, Diligent Practice, and Innovation."

In the middle, Principal Chen Jin's face was already smiling. Well said, well said!

Liu Ying and other teachers were also all smiles, and the pride was beyond words. As a teacher, being able to have such a student, there were no regrets.

The young man's voice echoed in the auditorium.

"..."

"How big the dream is, the world is that big. The college entrance examination is not the end, but the starting point of a brilliant life. I wish all the junior brothers and sisters to overcome thorns and create your own brilliance..."

The speech lasted for 40 minutes.

Deafening applause roared from below the stage.

"Thank you, Professor Xu, for bringing us a vivid speech at Chengnan Middle School."

Xu Qingzhou left the stage amidst the applause, leaving the podium to the host.
