Are you still here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou listened to Shi Shang screaming for a while. He then sighed and said, “I’m here, my phone lagged... Have you guys gotten the certificate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shang replied, “We have.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou asked, “With who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shang: “Ya Jing... No shit, who else could it be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou said, “Ya Jing? She’s the same year as you, right? She’s still doing her master’s?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the class of 2013, although many people left the school in March and April, they only officially graduate in July.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wang Jingya was only a first-year master’s student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marrying in your first year of master’s study, is that good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shi Shang heard this question, he felt a bit awkward. He then coughed and said, “This... There’s a bit of a situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lu Zhou heard his hesitant voice, he instantly knew what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess he wasn’t being safe when doing naughty things...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou didn’t know why but he felt like gloating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shang didn’t notice how Lu Zhou felt, and he continued, “Zhou, honestly, sometimes I think fate is a magical thing. When I was with her, I never thought we would make it to this day... But now, I found out that when the moment came, I... Sorry, I don’t know how to describe this feeling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shang, who was usually the most articulate, was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou went silent for a while before he sighed and said, “... It seems like you really love her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I love her more than I love myself.” Shi Shang blew his nose and suddenly had a serious demeanor as he said, “Wedding’s on January 20th at the Jinling Purple Mountain Hotel. Your bro’s missing a best man, are you coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No shit, I’m coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in asking this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou would be back in China in January; even if he wasn’t, he would fly back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he would be insanely jealous at the wedding, he would still be going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shang was moved by Lu Zhou’s answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shi Shang had a problem. Whenever he was moved, he would get too philosophical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh yeah, Zhou, no offense, but hurry up and find a girlfriend. I know mathematics is your life, but you should know that there’s more to the world than mathematics. Tagore once said, ‘love is when the soul starts to sing’ and...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I accidentally hung up the phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou pretended as if nothing had happened and threw his phone on the sofa. He continued to read his thesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since all of his phone calls tonight were cursed, he didn’t want to pick up another call!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princeton Institute for Advanced Study was jolly festive on Christmas day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people here were considered geniuses, but they were still people. Professors or doctors... They were just their academic qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, because they were geniuses, they knew how to party and have fun better than normal people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Goddard was usually a serious person, but today, he was wearing a red hat and a fake white beard, dressing up as Santa Claus. He stood around and handed out small booklets to people while everyone responded with a hesitant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his orders, the chefs in the dining area on the first floor were wearing festive costumes and were serving Christmas special meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the No. 1 lecture hall was also emptied for a live-action “Star Wars” play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Wars was basically American culture in a nutshell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The script for this live-action play was adapted by the professors in the School of Social Sciences and the School of History. Therefore, it had a classic European historical influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Zhou was more interested in the lecture hall than Star Wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was in this lecture hall that he announced the Goldbach’s proof to the mathematics world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year later, he was standing here again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t here as a report presenter, but rather a guest star on the live stage. He played the part of a soldier who was killed by a lightsaber; his only line was “Ah!”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his “opponent” was Molina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou highly suspected that this woman deliberately arranged the script to be this way so as to make it an opportunity for “revenge”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the actors were having a good time and so was the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was interesting was that the two mathematics professors sitting in the front row were having a serious discussion on the science behind Star Wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Deligne stared at the dazzling “lightsaber” and said, “This is not realistic at all, they’re clearly in the Space Age, but they’re still using swords.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Fefferman smiled as he retorted, “No one knows what physics is like outside of the solar system, we only know what it should look like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witten, who was a diehard Star Wars fan, would’ve loved to join in on the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, he was acting on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the live-action ended, people began to enjoy the festival in their own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or dancing to the music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, everyone was exchanging Christmas presents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, why is it a football again? I’ve already gotten five footballs,” Hardy said while holding the football. He then asked, “Do you think that all Brazilians like football?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue smiled. “I don’t know what else to give you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I don’t mind having another football, thank you for your gift,” Hardy smiled, showing his bright teeth. He gave Qin Yue a nicely wrapped gift box and said, “This is my gift to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue shook the box and couldn’t guess what it is. He then asked, “What is this thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardy smiled. “Table tennis ball.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardy didn’t care about Qin Yue’s reaction. He had a box of chocolates in his hand as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, where is Vera? I haven’t seen her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue sighed and said, “Did you forget? We planned on telling the professor about the thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardy was suddenly unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute, didn’t we say we’d tell him together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardy was looking forward to Professor Lu’s reaction. Now that his friend was the one giving the news, his victory was stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue suddenly looked a bit weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“... The situation has changed, I think it’s best if Vera tells the professor herself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qin Yue was introverted, that didn’t mean he wasn’t observant. He could tell from how Vera looked at Professor Lu, and he knew that it wasn’t just admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, she’s getting the entire spotlight then,” Hardy complained. “We contributed as well, but how come she’s the only one that’ll get a compliment from the professor...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is a compliment?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not in primary school anymore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue always knew that his friend was slightly brain-damaged, but now it seemed that it wasn’t just his brain, his soul was also damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue coughed and explained it briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok, stop complaining, 70% of the work is done by her. I don’t care if you like it or not, she has the right to do this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardy looked dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you support her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yue shrugged and said, “I always support Professor Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two were talking, Lu Zhou, who finished his act on stage, walked out of the backstage room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bumped into Vera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl looked like she had something to say so Lu Zhou spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there something you want to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera nodded and said quietly, “Can... you come with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou said, “Christmas present?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera nervously nodded. “Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou looked at the nervous girl and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then please lead the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou followed Vera and walked down the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked for a while, and Lu Zhou couldn’t help but ask curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What secret gift is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera shook her head and didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the two arrived in an empty classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou looked at the closed door and felt a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I go in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou reached down for the doorknob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the second he stepped into the classroom, he was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were ten blackboards in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lines upon lines of neatly written formula occupied the blackboard; its mathematical beauty attracted Lu Zhou’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slowly passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow fluttered outside the windows, cruising in the cold, blistering wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the white snow was landing on the blackboards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou stared at the blackboards for more than half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly burst into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is definitely the most... beautiful thing I’ve seen this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1552,"2026-06-05T19:44:39.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e3fcb9a40b8147211b54722f65f02df43a0b3449aa98f550294bf443679089b","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-388","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-386",1683,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fscholar-s-advanced-technological-system-cover.jpg"]
