Chapter 85: The First Method of Pretending
As night falls, the street lights emit orange light, making the school look warm.
The girl was walking in front with her hands behind her back and brisk steps. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood. The boy was walking behind, holding a small bag and a water bottle in one hand and holding his waist with the other hand, with a resentful expression.
Of course, these two people were Song Yao and Xu Qingzhou who had just come out of the May Fourth Movement Stadium.
Seeing this guy looking sick, Song Yao was a little disgusted and said, "Xu Qingzhou, are you a tortoise? Why are you walking so slowly?"
"Try being thrown over the shoulder once." Xu Qingzhou said dimly. He couldn't understand how such a small body could burst out with such powerful strength.
"It's all sand." Song Yao snorted coldly, thinking that she deserved it. Who told you to say that my breasts are small?
"That hurts, too! As a girl, if you are so violent, no one will want you in the future..." Under Song Yao's threatening gaze, Xu Qingzhou forced himself to hold back the word "want".
I sighed secretly, and decided that when I become stronger one day, I would let you feel the feeling of being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Song Yao nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the milk tea shop in the distance: "I have taught you a trick after all, so you should treat me to milk tea."
"You just finished running and you're drinking milk tea. Aren't you trying to lose weight?" Xu Qingzhou didn't understand Song Yao's idea of losing weight. He only ate half a bowl of food some time ago.
"The purpose of exercise is not to lose weight, but to exercise your body." Song Yao turned her head and ignored him, walking towards the milk tea shop. "Besides, I'm in a good mood today."
Xu Qingzhou: “.”
When Xu Qingzhou returned, there was no one in the dormitory, so he took a shower first.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xu Qingzhou nodded. He really felt different after exercise, as if his body was opened up.
It’s just that he lacks muscles and I don’t know when he will be able to “stand up” in front of Song Yao.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he received a call from Wang Wei, who said that according to the data he provided, the data of the materials they re-manufactured had been significantly improved.
Xu Qingzhou said congratulations.
Wang Wei came to tell Xu Qingzhou the good news. The two of them didn't say much and hung up the phone.
Xu Qingzhou changed into clean clothes and went to the study room with the book "Advanced Mathematical Theory" and notebook borrowed from the library.
There is no rush to come up with a mathematical model now.
There is not much he can do about Professor Zhao Shengwen's project now, after all, he is not involved in the specific experimental process.
His job is to optimize the model using the newly generated data, which can be done in the laboratory.
On Wednesday, in the morning's modern history class, Xu Qingzhou and Xu Zhengyang were lucky enough to get seats in the last row.
The political courses are in stark contrast to the professional courses, and the last few rows have become popular.
When the class bell rang, Xu Zhengyang started laughing. If you didn't know better, you would think it was the bell for bed. When Xu Qingzhou got up at two o'clock last night, he saw that his phone screen was still on.
He was typing away, grinning foolishly in the bright light. Xu Qingzhou even suspected that this guy had hooked up with another girl and was ready to suffer the bitterness of love.
Zhai Ziqiang sat upright, having already opened his notebook, ready for class.
What surprised Xu Qingzhou a little was that Kong Xianbo, who had been studying hard all this time, was actually looking at his mobile phone at this time, and his fingers kept pulling down to refresh the web page. It seemed to be a thesis website.
Has his paper been submitted as well?
Seeing Xu Qingzhou looking at him, Kong Xianbo coughed dryly, silently closed his phone, pushed his glasses, took out his notes from the previous class, and thought to himself that it was a close call, he was almost exposed in advance.
Combining the details of Lao Xu's recent show-off, he summed up a truth: showing off is like farting, the loud ones have no destructive power, but the silent ones can shock everyone.
The first secret to showing off: don’t make any noise.
Xu Qingzhou was shocked, realizing that Lao Kong was up to something big. Unfortunately, he was a cheater.
At the podium, the teacher began to lecture. Xu Zhengyang was drowsy, but Kong Xianbo and the other student were listening very attentively.
Xu Qingzhou took out the book "Advanced Mathematical Theory" and read it slowly. It was not difficult to understand, but he stopped when he saw the content of the prime root theorem.
An interesting question was found in the small print below. To verify the prime gap conjecture (α=, C=3), in the range of n≤10^8, the upper bound of the interval between adjacent prime numbers is set to 3×(log p)^, where p is a prime number and n≤10^8.
Taking a deep breath, he took out the manuscript paper and did some calculations.
Kong Xianbo was working seriously, but suddenly he noticed from the corner of his eye that Xu Qingzhou also seemed to be taking notes seriously. He suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that Old Xu had also come to his senses and was ready to earn GPA points?
Scholarships, guaranteed admission to graduate school, and awards for excellence are all related to GPA.
But when he looked carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seems like he's still doing other things.
Xu Qingzhou was stumped by this prime number problem. He spent the entire day on Wednesday working on it but made no progress at all.
It was the first time he encountered such a difficult problem, and it suddenly aroused his competitive spirit.
Three days passed in a flash. Xu Qingzhou's life was simple. He went to the laboratory every day to receive new data, attend classes, and study problems about prime number intervals.
By the way, I went running on Thursday and was severely scolded by Song Yao again, so much so that Xu Qingzhou began to doubt whether he could do it anymore.
However, this depression was quickly dispelled by complicated calculations.
After working hard for two and a half days, Xu Qingzhou still failed. Those verifications either resulted in dead ends or were simply invalid.
On Friday, he came to Gu Zhizhong's office, but unfortunately, Gu Zhizhong was not there. There was only a senior student he met last time and another one he didn't recognize.
"Junior, you are here to see Professor Gu, right?" The speaker was the first-year graduate student named "Meng Bin".
Xu Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes, I wanted to ask a question."
Meng Bin pointed to the side and said, "Professor Gu is in the Q&A room 4118. You have to go there to find him."
"Okay, thank you, senior."
Xu Qingzhou was about to leave when he was stopped by another young man: "Junior brother, I can help you take a look."
"Okay, thank you, senior." Xu Qingzhou smiled and took out manuscript paper from his bag.
As he took the manuscript paper handed over by Xu Qingzhou, the young man smiled and said, "Junior, my name is Su Kewei, and I am a doctoral student under Professor Gu."
"Hello, senior. My name is Xu Qingzhou."
"You are Xu Qingzhou. I heard from Junior Brother Meng and the others that you are very good." Su Kewei praised. As he spoke, he looked at the manuscript paper with some surprise, "A question about prime numbers?"
"I've been trying to solve it for two days, but I haven't figured it out yet, so I decided to come and see Professor Gu."
Meng Bin also took a look at it, but found that the question was a bit difficult, so he gave up decisively and lowered his head to do his own research.
"This question. Well, I'll try to solve it first. It shouldn't be a problem." Su Kewei took out a manuscript paper from the side and started writing. He thought that this junior fellow student really has something. This question doesn't look easy.
Xu Qingzhou was not in a hurry either and waited patiently by the side.
"Junior, don't worry, with Senior Brother Su taking action, there will be absolutely no problem." Meng Bin said with a smile.
Xu Qingzhou nodded, indicating that he believed it.
