Chapter 388 The Most Beautiful Snow

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

For a moment, both ends of the phone fell silent.

In the end, it was Shi Shang who broke the silence.

"This is an international long-distance call, and the phone bill is very expensive."

Oh……

Then play for a while longer.

Lu Zhou, who had nothing to say, decided to carry on the silence to the end.

MMP!

I was spending Christmas Eve alone, but now I was stuffed with dog food for no reason.

It's so exasperating!

He was originally an impatient person, but when he saw that Lu Zhou remained silent for a long time, Shi Shang became even more anxious, and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

"Elbow, did you make a noise, hello? Hello! Are you still listening?"

Hearing Brother Fei screaming nervously on the phone for a while, Lu Zhou sighed and finally spoke.

"I'm listening, my phone was stuck for a while just now... You guys, have you received your certificate?"

Shi Shang: "I got it."

Lu Zhou: "With whom?"

Shi Shang: "Yajing...don't ask nonsense, who else can I be with besides her?"

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned: "Yajing? I remember she was in the same class as you, and she hasn't finished her graduate studies yet?"

They are in the 13th grade. Although many of them left school in March and April last year, according to the normal graduation process, the summer of 2017 can be regarded as the official graduation.

In this way, Wang Yajing has just entered the first year of graduate school.

Is it really okay to get married as soon as you study it?

Upon hearing this question, Shi Shang's expression was a little embarrassed, and he coughed lightly.

"This... something happened."

As soon as he heard the hesitant voice, Lu Zhou understood instantly.

It turned out that the insurance measures were not taken well when doing bad things...

But for some reason, Lu Zhou, who realized this, couldn't gloat.

Not paying attention to the feelings of being single, Shi Shang on the other end of the phone continued.

"Elbow, to be honest, sometimes I really think that fate is a magical thing. When I was with her, I never thought I would be able to get to where I am today...but I found that when this moment really came , I'm...sorry, I don't know how to describe this feeling."

At the end of the day, Shi Shang, who was usually the most eloquent in the dormitory, was somewhat incoherent.

After being silent for a while, Lu Zhou sighed softly: "... I can see that you love her very much."

"Yes, I love her more than myself," sniffed, Fei Ge, who is usually not serious in the dormitory, was very serious this time, "January 20 wedding, Jinling Zijinshan University The hotel, my brother is short of a best man. In a word, come or not?"

Lu Zhou smiled.

"Nonsense, you must come!"

There is no need to ask such a question.

Not to mention that he has already returned to China in January, even if he is abroad, he will fly back home.

And even if he knew that he would be stuffed with dog food, he would definitely go.

"Brothers!"

Hearing that Lu Zhou planned to come over, Shi Shang was very moved.

However, this guy has a problem. Whenever he is moved, he likes to fall into the Wen Qing disease.

"By the way, Elbow, I'm not talking about you, you should hurry up and find a girlfriend. I know that mathematics is your life for you, but you must know that mathematics is not the only thing in this world. Tagore once said, Love is life fulfilled—doo-doo-doo..."

what……

Accidentally pressed the hang up button.

Lu Zhou, who pretended nothing happened, turned off his phone and threw it on the sofa, and continued to pick up the paper he threw on the table.

The phone calls tonight are poisonous, he doesn't want to touch the phone again!

...

On Christmas Day, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton was very lively.

Although most of the people here are labeled as geniuses, they are human beings before becoming geniuses, and doctors, professors, and researchers are just their academic qualifications or occupations.

In fact, because they are geniuses, they know better than ordinary people how to entertain others and themselves outside of boring research.

Dean Goddard, who is always stern-faced, is wearing a red peaked hat and a white beard today, dressed as Santa Claus, and distributed small gifts similar to manuscripts to people everywhere. And try to squeeze a smile out of everyone.

Also under his order, the chefs in the dining area on the first floor also changed into festive costumes and launched special meals that are only available for Christmas.

Not only that, but the No. 1 lecture hall next to the dining area has also been vacated, and a stage play of "Star Wars" is being staged.

For the United States, Star Wars is probably an old national drama.

As for the script of this stage play, it was adapted by the old professors of the School of Social Sciences and the School of Historical Research of the General High School, so many old stalks from European classical history and the "Gold Rush" period were incorporated into the original world view. By the way, it also severely hacked a wave of Mr. President who was elected last year.

But compared to his feelings for Star Wars, what Lu Zhou misses the most is the No. 1 lecture hall.

It was here that he announced the proof of the Goldbach-Lu theorem to the international mathematical community.

Now, after more than a year, he is standing here again.

It's just that, instead of being a reporter, he appeared as a cameo in a Star Wars stage play, a soldier who was cut down by a Force lightsaber and even had only one line of "ah".

And his "opponent" is Molina.

Lu Zhou seriously suspected that this woman deliberately stood opposite him when arranging the script, just to use this opportunity to "revenge her personal revenge".

The people on the stage had a great time, and the audience in the audience also laughed and laughed.

The most interesting thing is that the two mathematics professors sitting in the front row are actually discussing whether this kind of sci-fi blockbuster is scientific or not.

Staring at the dazzling "light saber", Professor Deligne frowned and muttered: "This is not scientific at all. It is clearly the space age, but primitive cold weapons are still being used."

Professor Fefferman smiled and said in a humorous tone: "No one knows what the physics outside the solar system looks like, but what we think it should look like."

If Witten, a die-hard fan, was sitting here, he would definitely join the discussion.

But at the moment, he was having so much fun on stage that he had no time to participate.

After the play was over, people began to enjoy the festival in their own way.

Like chess for example.

Like dancing to music.

Or, everyone is keen to exchange Christmas gifts.

"Oh, why is it a football again? I have already received five footballs." Holding a brand new football, Hardy complained in a low voice, "Is it in your impression? Are Brazilians equal to footballs?"

Qin Yue smiled shyly, and laughed, "The main reason is that I don't know what to give you."

"It's okay, I don't mind another football, thank you for the gift," Hardy grinned, showing his white teeth, and then stuffed a wrapped gift box into Qin Yue's hand, "Besides, this is my Pay back."

Shaking the box in his hand, Qin Yue didn't guess what it was, and asked, "What is this?"

Hardy grinned: "Ping-pong."

Qin Yue: "..."

Ignoring the speechless Qin Yue, Hardy, who was still holding a box of Poloshenko chocolates in his hand, stretched his neck and looked around.

"Speaking of which, where is Vera? Why didn't I see her?"

Putting away the presents, Qin Yue sighed: "Did you forget? We agreed to tell the professor 'that thing' at Christmas."

Hardy was stunned for a moment, and immediately became unhappy.

"Hey, wait, didn't we agree to tell him together?"

For Professor Lu's admiring expression, he had been looking forward to it for almost a whole year, and now his good friend actually told him that the fruit of this victory was exclusively enjoyed by others.

Hearing this question, Qin Yue's expression was a little subtle.

"...The situation has changed a little bit, I think it's better for Vera to go alone."

Although his usual performance is relatively dull, it doesn't mean that he doesn't watch or think about anything. After working together for so long, he could clearly feel that Vera's gaze towards Professor Lu had something other than admiration.

"Oh, she took all the benefits by herself," Hardy said angrily, "Obviously we also contributed, why is she the only one who can get the professor's praise?"

Qin Yue: "..."

What the hell is being praised? !

Not a primary school student anymore...

Looking at his old friend speechlessly, although Qin Yue thought that this guy had a brain problem before, but now it seems that not only is there a brain problem, but he doesn't even have basic eyesight.

With a light cough, Qin Yue said briefly.

"Okay, stop complaining, 70% of the work is done by her, whether you like it or not, she has the right to do so."

Hardy looked at him disapprovingly.

"Do you support her?"

Qin Yue shrugged: "No matter what, I will always support Professor Lu."

While the two were talking, Lu Zhou, who had finished his role in the stage play, was coming out of the lounge behind the scenes.

At the door, he met Vera waiting there.

Seeing that the little girl had something to say on her face, Lu Zhou said kindly.

"Is there a problem?"

Nodding, Vera's voice was very soft and nervous.

"Can... come with me?"

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, and tried to guess: "Christmas gift?"

Vera nodded nervously: "Yes!"

Looking at the nervous little girl, Lu Zhou smiled.

"Then please lead the way."

Follow behind Vera and continue walking along the corridor.

After turning two corners, Lu Zhou couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, so he couldn't help asking.

"What gift is so mysterious?"

However, Vera just shook her head and didn't speak.

Finally, the two came to an empty classroom and stopped at the door.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Lu Zhou had a weird expression.

"Can I... can I go in?"

"Um!"

Vera nodded expectantly.

With curiosity, Lu Zhou reached out and pressed the doorknob.

However, the moment he stepped into the classroom, he froze.

What was displayed in front of him were blackboards lined up on ten sides.

On the blackboard with its back against the window, neatly written lines of calculations were written on the blackboard. With its unique mathematical charm, Lu Zhou's eyes were completely glued.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

The snowflakes flying all over the sky outside the window, along with the biting cold wind, fell bitingly on the ground.

Just like the numbers pouring down from the clouds.

Staring at the blackboards for almost half an hour.

A gratified smile suddenly appeared on Lu Zhou's face.

"thanks."

"This is definitely my year..."

"The most beautiful snow I've ever seen."
