Chapter 559: I have the confidence to go all-in

At the traffic light.

Xu Qingzhou just stopped when he felt a delicate little hand on his thigh.

"?"

There was a big question mark on Xu Qingzhou's forehead.

"You touched mine before too."

Seeing Xu Qingzhou looking at her, Song Yao said as a matter of course.

"Female hooligan."

Xu Qingzhou was speechless. This girl just wasn't reconciled to being pressed under him, so she wanted to reverse the heaven and earth in everything.

The car continued to drive, and Song Yao also retracted her claws. She now seems to understand a little bit why Xu Qingzhou said that many things can be done in the car.

For example, doing bad things in the car inexplicably has a sense of stimulation.

If in the car...

Song Yao hurriedly shook her head, throwing away this terrible idea in her mind.

She couldn't be a pervert like Xu Qingzhou.

The vehicle drove for about 20 minutes and arrived at the seaside.

The waves gently lapped the beach, making a "swish" sound. The sunlight passed through the coconut trees, spreading thinly and brokenly on the fine sand. The sails in the distance were looming in the golden radiance.

This season is the peak tourist season, and you can see bustling tourists taking photos and checking in on the shore.

The girl retracted her gaze from the light and shadow in the distance, pulled Xu Qingzhou's hand, her eyes crystal clear: "Do you want to kiss?"

This romantic scene is suitable for doing some romantic things.

"You drank alcohol."

Xu Qingzhou pretended to refuse, but seeing the eagerness in the girl's eyes, he had already laughed in his heart: "Hehe, the boomerang from the past hit yourself, right?"

Song Yao curled her lips, and regardless of anything else, she tiptoed and leaned towards Xu Qingzhou.

The orange sunlight stretched the shadows of the two very, very long.

A long time passed before Song Yao reluctantly let go of Xu Qingzhou. Although she really wanted to continue cuddling with Xu Qingzhou, this was outside... wait until they go back to talk about it.

"I was ruined by you again."

Xu Qingzhou said melancholically.

Song Yao hummed proudly, her footsteps light, walking on the sand. All the work was done, and walking by the sea with the person she liked, she inexplicably felt very happy.

Xu Qingzhou watched the active girl in front and couldn't help laughing, feeling unprecedented peace in his heart.

"Xu Qingzhou, what are you doing standing there, can you walk faster?"

"Coming~"

The two young people walked one after another by the sea, leaving two rows of shallow footprints on the beach.

8:00 PM, the two young people finally went home.

Xu Qingzhou just helped Song Yao put her bag away, looked up, and saw a girl staring straight at him, even... licking the corner of her mouth.

"Professor Xu~" The girl's fingers rested on Xu Qingzhou's chest, moving upwards bit by bit, and finally wrapped around Xu Qingzhou's neck, preparing to continue the unfinished business by the sea.

"Stinky."

Xu Qingzhou blocked Song Yao's next move, rarely negotiating with School Beauty Song.

"You dislike me..." Song Yao looked at Xu Qingzhou pitifully.

Xu Qingzhou met the girl's eyes and secretly took a breath of cold air. It must be said that School Beauty Song's acting cute technique had reached the point of perfection, her crystal clear eyes like a pool of clear spring water...

"Acting pitiful is useless, you disliked me before too."

Xu Qingzhou grasped his status, and seeing the girl still looking at him eagerly, he understood that the goal had been achieved, and coughed lightly in a pretentious manner, "However, if you are willing to wear those clothes in the cabinet..."

"No."

Song Yao refused angrily, but her heart had already started to speed up uncontrollably.

"Yes."

Xu Qingzhou captured the guilty conscience on Song Yao's face, wrapped his arms around School Beauty Song's waist, and directly gave her a princess hug, walking into the bedroom.

"Xu Qingzhou!"

June 22nd.

9:00 AM, still sunny, and you could vaguely hear the birds chirping by the Charles River.

Song Yao had a dark face, looking at the boy sleeping like a dead pig, and immediately thought of the madness last night, her face feeling a bit hot. The bedroom was a mess, high school uniforms, torn silk stockings...

Damn it, actually wearing JK, and performing some kind of split for this guy.

"Alcohol harms people."

Song Yao patted her hot cheeks and attributed the reason to alcohol. Although... she only drank a small glass of wine yesterday...

At this time, the lazy voice of the young man sounded in her ear.

"Don't deceive yourself, that little bit of alcohol was digested long ago."

Song Yao noticed that Xu Qingzhou had woken up and was looking at her playfully.

"It was alcohol."

Song Yao would never admit that she was half-pushed and half-yielding, and even went with the flow, secretly cooperating with Xu Qingzhou to do some strange requests.

Xu Qingzhou turned over, squinting his eyes, intending to take another nap.

He was exhausted last night.

"Get up immediately!" Song Yao kicked the foot of the person on the bed that was hanging off the edge, feeling a kind of revengeful happiness. Who told this person to bully her last night, she said she didn't want to, and he still...

"Still early, sleep a while longer."

"Sleep? What sleep? We have to go to the car dealership at 11!" Song Yao still pulled Xu Qingzhou up from the bed.

In the morning, Song Yao tidied up the house, stuffing all the sheets and quilt covers into the washing machine.

Xu Qingzhou ate a sandwich and drove to the Avey Car Dealership where he bought the car before. He had already contacted Greta Jones, the Latina saleswoman who sold him the car.

For Xu Qingzhou, this Fields Medal winner, Jones was quite enthusiastic, frankly saying that because of selling a car to Xu Qingzhou, their orders had increased a lot, and gave a quote of 21,000 USD.

1,000 USD more than Song Yao estimated.

It was bought for 31,000 USD at the beginning, driven for less than two years, and the condition of the car was still quite good, which is about the same price in the market.

"Go and mooch another cup of coffee."

Xu Qingzhou prepared to go to Professor Roberts' place to stroll around, only to remember that the car had been sold, so he could only take a taxi to MIT.

In the office, Professor Roberts and Horn were both there.

"Hi, Professor Xu."

Horn had already walked to his coffee station: "What would you like?"

"Your best."

Xu Qingzhou didn't stand on ceremony at all, sat down on the chair on the side, "Are you planning to participate in the interdisciplinary project group of the Quantum Engineering Center?"

"Yes, an old guy from the Physics Department wants to do something new—superconducting quantum processors and quantum simulation. Expecting to generate synthetic electromagnetic fields on a 16-qubit superconducting processor, used to simulate the quantum behavior of complex materials."

Xu Qingzhou nodded. This is considered a relatively hot field in quantum mechanics. Once successful, the developed technology can help explore quantum processes that are difficult for traditional computers to handle, such as dark matter and gravitational waves.

Professor Roberts' glasses had already slid to the bridge of his nose, "This is all thanks to you. You know, now MIT professors all want to challenge themselves and try to do interdisciplinary projects."

"It's an honor to have such a role."

Xu Qingzhou shrugged.

The office was already filled with the fragrance of coffee.

Horn joined the chat while brewing coffee: "Xu, when are you returning to the country?"

"The 25th of this month."

"Oh, that's too regrettable."

Xu Qingzhou said: "In name, I am still holding a position here and am a tenured professor at MIT. And, there may be a lot of cooperation opportunities in the future."

He was telling the truth. As a world-class university, MIT is in a leading position in several fields, such as the Nanotechnology Center, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Quantum Computing, or Nuclear Fusion Research.

There might really be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Professor Roberts asked in a deep voice: "I heard you plan to spend 500 million to establish a research institute in Xia Nation to solve the problems of lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect?"

"That's right."

"Why not accept some investment from enterprises or the government? If you speak up, I think they would be very willing to take money out of their pockets... this can diversify the risk."

Horn was puzzled. Lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect—these are the most urgent, even unsolvable problems in the battery field. Once it fails, Xu Qingzhou will lose everything.

"Perhaps, I prefer to go all-in... I will only accept investment when I lose all my chips."

"..."

A cheater has the confidence to go all-in.
