Chapter 120: Hurting each other, right?
School No. 3 canteen.
"Old Xu, come on, tell us what happened." Xu Zhengyang and two others caught up with Xu Qingzhou, looking as if they were ready to eat some melons.
Xu Qingzhou had just finished his meal and was not in a hurry to go back. While walking to digest his food, he told his roommates about his past pursuit of Zhang Yuxin.
"Brilliant!"
"Tsk tsk, I never thought that Lao Xu was once a bootlicker."
The three of them were stunned.
Xu Zhengyang touched his chin, "But, she just said that she didn't want to date in high school. If you work hard, there may be a possibility that you can be together."
"Old Xu, you don't understand this. Some girls' hearts really become harder the more they are licked." Kong Xianbo had an expression as if he had seen through the impermanence of the world.
"Old Kong, tell me your story."
"Bullshit, no!"
Kong Xianbo narrowed his eyes and asked again: "But, Lao Xu, why haven't I seen you go out on a date recently?"
"Lao Kong, your desk mate in high school was called Yun Fei, right? Is her boyfriend handsome?" Xu Zhengyang laughed.
Hurt each other, right? Come on!
Zhang Yuxin’s incident was just a small episode, and Xu Qingzhou’s life was not affected.
In the evening, while he was studying in the classroom, he received a call from Gu Zhizhong, asking him to go to the office if he had time.
"Professor, are you looking for me?" Xu Qingzhou walked in and saw only Gu Zhizhong in the office.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou arrive, Gu Zhizhong put down the thermos cup in his hand and waved for Xu Qingzhou to sit down and talk, "How do you feel during this period?"
"There's not much change compared to before." Xu Qingzhou said with a smile.
Gu Zhizhong smiled and said, "I heard from Director Ji that you really have never attended a single physics class."
"I know all those things." Xu Qingzhou spread his hands.
"With your ability, it would be a waste of time to attend freshman classes." Gu Zhizhong nodded, and asked with a smile: "What about Cramer's conjecture?"
Xu Qingzhou sighed and said with a wry smile: "The first two paths were blocked, so I have started over again."
Gu Zhizhong nodded, thinking that this was expected, and said, "Xiao Xu, you are very talented. You can even be said to be one of the most talented people I have ever met in Beijing University."
"However, we who study mathematics often have a common problem: we tend to get bogged down in the details, striving to do things as precisely and meticulously as possible, but forgetting to look up and see the road ahead."
"Are you trying to persuade me not to get stuck in a rut?" Xu Qingzhou smiled.
Gu Zhizhong nodded and said, "If the Cramer conjecture cannot be solved, you can try something else, such as the unique analytical properties of complex functions mentioned in your paper published in Mathematical Inventions. This is one of the hot research directions at present, and you can also study it."
"Of course, I'm not trying to discourage you. The Cramer conjecture is worth studying, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
He was really a little worried that Xu Qingzhou's mentality would be ruined because of Kramer's conjecture.
Xu Qingzhou nodded: "I understand, thank you for your concern, professor."
"Your bonus of 5 will be deposited into your card next month."
"Ah, only 5?" Xu Qingzhou was a little confused.
"It's not easy. I really thought you didn't care about that little bonus and didn't even ask about it." Seeing Xu Qingzhou was a little anxious, Gu Zhizhong said with a smile: "The remaining 10 will be given to you by the Physics Institute. You are one of them now. Hehe."
"That's good enough." Xu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Zhizhong took a sip of tea before continuing, "The institute originally wanted to do a special report on you and use you as a typical propaganda, but Lao Jiao and I turned it down. You won't blame us, right?" "No, I have to thank professor for saving me a lot of trouble." Xu Qingzhou said sincerely.
Gu Zhizhong nodded, liking Xu Qingzhou's attitude very much. He sighed and said, "We academics shouldn't be too prominent and should be calm. I'm relieved that you have this idea."
On November 11, Kyoto had already entered winter, and several cold waves swept through, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
On Wednesday morning at 6:20, Xu Qingzhou was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone. It was a call from Song Yao.
Xu Qingzhou was a little speechless, and whispered: "Sister, it's only six o'clock now!"
"Xu Qingzhou, it's snowing!" There was a little excitement in Song Yao's tone, and she didn't even care about Xu Qingzhou's address.
Xu Qingzhou had a strange look on his face. He got out of bed and opened the curtains a little. Goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered in the orange light, drawing beautiful moving tracks.
"Yeah, it's snowing."
Xu Qingzhou sighed that the first snow in Kyoto came in 2014.
For people in the south, especially those who live in Chengdu all year round, it is really exciting to see such heavy snow.
"Come out and see the snow!" Song Yao said.
"No, it's a bit stupid to go out in the cold early in the morning." Xu Qingzhou wanted to lie in the warm bed rather than outside.
"You are stupid!"
Song Yao was immediately unhappy. This person had no interest at all. She urged: "This is our first snow in Kyoto. I'll give you 20 minutes. Come out quickly!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingzhou sighed, threw the toothbrush, towel and facial cleanser into the basin, and prepared to go to the hot water room next door to wash up.
"Old Xu, you're up so early?" Kong Xianbo couldn't fall asleep instantly when he heard the sound of Xu Qingzhou getting up.
Xu Qingzhou whispered: "Well, it's snowing, let's go out and see the snow."
Kong Xianbo nodded, threw off the quilt and got up, thinking that since he was awake anyway, he might as well experience the library in the morning while he still had some time.
"Tsk~ You're surprised by something you haven't seen before." Xu Zhengyang laughed and expressed his contempt for Xu Qingzhou's behavior of getting excited even when it snowed.
Kong Xianbo said faintly: "Do you think Lao Xu is watching the snow alone?"
Xu Zhengyang suddenly sat up from the bed. Okay, he was no longer sleepy now.
Kong Xianbo got up, and Zhai Ziqiang didn't sleep any longer. He folded the quilt silently and got up.
It was snowing heavily, and everything was white as far as the eye could see. The ground made a crunching sound when you stepped on it.
The intersection of Xueyuan Road and Jingyuan Road.
Song Yao was wearing a blue and white outfit, with a white down jacket on the outside, a thick scarf, and a blue hat. She was reaching out to catch snowflakes and watching the snow petals melt in her hands.
Standing in the snow stupidly, as if he had never seen it before.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou, the girl waved excitedly. She was wrapped in thick clothes, which made her look inexplicably cuter.
"Put them on." Xu Qingzhou handed her a pair of washed gloves.
Song Yao's nose tip was a little red from the cold. She took the pink gloves and was very touched: "Xu Qingzhou, you have become gentler."
"That's because you didn't notice it before." Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes.
The winter in Kyoto is completely different from that in Chengdu. It is really cold here. When he first came here, that first year, his hands were covered with frostbite.
