Shen then looked at her friend and whispered, “Does he have stage fright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunyun smiled and teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a big scientist; he’s setting the mood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Hua said, “Pfft, who cares about some mathematician. He understands mathematics, but he doesn’t understand life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, okay. Please stop arguing...” Deng Le interrupted the two and said, “Yunyun, how about you go on stage and save him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the maid of honor would speak after the best man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Professor Lu really couldn’t handle speaking at a stage like this, then the wedding host could easily rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunyun just had to give a beautiful speech and save the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunyun said, “I don’t mind, I’ve done my preparation...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the host was about to save Lu Zhou, he suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the beginning of the universe to the evaporation of the last black hole, we know that the probability of birth is only a billionth of a billionth of a billionth...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wedding venue quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young folks stopped chatting while the older folks put down the sunflower seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the children stopped screwing around...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone focused their attention on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because of Lu Zhou’s opening. It was because they were curious about what this professor from Princeton had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou looked around at the wedding guests, and he felt that he was in the zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like he was back in a Princeton lecture hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued in a monotonic voice, “As we know, the probability of two lives meeting is less than the square of a billionth of a billionth...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure if the guests knew what he was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure if they understood this astronomically low number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never used sensational words like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was never a dramatic person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably would never be one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, he wanted to send his blessings to his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From a probability perspective, the greatest miracle in the universe is not the death of stars, the formation of galaxies, or the evaporation of black holes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rather, it’s the miracle of two people meeting each other and falling in love on this billion-year timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe because mathematics is too interesting, I’m rarely interested in anything other than mathematics. At most, I’ll dabble in chemistry or physics... But even then, even though I don’t understand the meaning of love, I can feel that you two truly love each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou paused for a second. He then looked at the groom and bride before he continued, “Hence, I sincerely wish you guys the best and that you can love each other like I love mathematics. Cherish... this miraculous moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The applause was louder than what Lu Zhou had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never thought that the speech he made up on the spot would resonate with the crowd to this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he noticed that it wasn’t just the crowd that was cheering. Even the groom on stage was feeling quite emotional as well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome man who was in a tux nearly started to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would it be bad for Shi Shang to cry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess it doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou smiled at Shi Shang and nodded. He then handed the microphone back to the wedding host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he walked off the stage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunyun watched Lu Zhou walked off stage and said, “Wow, even though he’s a mathematician... he’s still good with words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People used to say that mathematicians were the best at picking up girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t believe it before, but she did now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Le said emotionally, “Yeah... I thought he was more of the introverted type and that he might have stage fright. I didn’t expect him to own the stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a proud expression on her face, Xiao Yunyun looked at Qian Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think, Qian Hua?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Hua pulled herself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah... What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunyun and Deng Le looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I feel like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chick...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is acting a bit weird?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Zhou finished his speech, the bridesmaid went on stage and congratulated the newly-wed couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wedding went into its most climatic stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched as the groom put a ring on the bride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that moment, there were two less lonely people in the world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wedding came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the relatives and friends that came to the wedding had finished their meals and were beginning to leave the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he was stopped by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the short-haired girl standing in front of him and said, “What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing,” Qian Hua said as she shook her head. She then looked down as she continued, “I just want to say... sorry to you. I stepped over the line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou was stunned, and when he replied, he spoke in a relaxed tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I didn’t take it to heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was three years ago, Lu Zhou had nearly forgotten about what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone would get overwhelmed by emotions sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, she never did anything to Lu Zhou other than defending her idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou wasn’t easily offended, which was why he was still good friends with Liu Rui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there’s nothing else, I’ll see you around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Hua saw that Lu Zhou was leaving, and she quickly said, “Wait a second...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou stopped and looked back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When this is all over... Can I buy you a drink?” Qian Hua said while blushing. “As a payback.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Some other day then. I have to catch a train later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Hua: ...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than celebrating Chinese New Year, Lu Zhou had important things to do in China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to attend the Science and Technology Award Conference, and the other was to attend Shi Shang’s wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shi Shang’s wedding was over, all he had to do now was to celebrate the holiday with his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his only time in the year to relax...\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-05T19:44:39.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff42404e1dc187a287c27c78b67c4cbec46d258b4f6b08c33ee8db385f4be164","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-408","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-406",1683,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fscholar-s-advanced-technological-system-cover.jpg"]
