Genius Girlfriend - Chapter 99

In late June, the sophomore final exam was over, and the students had a pleasant summer vacation.

Lin Zhixia and Lin Zeqiu took the train home together. Both brothers and sisters can only stay at home for one week-Lin Zhixia is going to the laboratory to do finishing work, and she is planning a new paper. And Lin Zeqiu is going to participate in the “International College Student Programming Competition”, he must join the school’s summer training camp.

Lin Zeqiu does not expect to win the competition. He heard that the teachers in the summer training camp are very responsible. They will cultivate the students’ algorithm programming ability, which is equivalent to a free training without money. Of course Lin Zeqiu will not let go of this good opportunity.

On the way home, Lin Zeqiu said to his sister: “How much money did you make from selling software? Don’t buy a house for your family. Keep the money for your own use. You have to go abroad to study, and you can’t have money in your pocket. I study at school. After getting a lot of things, I can go to the company for an internship in two years.”

“Brother,” Lin Zhixia asked him suddenly, “Did you choose computer major to make a lot of money?”

Lin Zeqiu told the truth: “If you can’t make money by learning computer, what’s the meaning of this major.”

Lin Zhixia was sitting in the lower bunk of the train, holding an orange in her hand. While squeezing the orange peel, she asked him: “If our family is rich, what major would you choose?”

Lin Zeqiu thought for a moment, then replied, “Archeology, dig things from the ground.”

After speaking, he took out a Swiss army knife—this was also a gift from Lin Zhixia. Lin Zeqiu wiped the blade with a disinfectant wipe and rinsed it with mineral water. Finally, he used this knife to help Lin Zhixia cut the orange.

Lin Zhixia happily ate the oranges, her voice was vague: “Brother, programming is also fun, I can dig things from the online world…”

Lin Zeqiu lay down lazily and opened a book of Programming Pearls. It was half past nine in the night, the sky was already dark, the car windows were pitch black, there was a slight snoring sound from the car, and Lin Zhixia yawned. She cleaned up and washed, and fell on the bed, sleeping with the stuffed penguin in her arms.

Half asleep, the train stopped by the platform of the station.

The sleeping car was still dim, except for the side seat with a small yellow light. The shadow of the lamp was dim and faint, and with the rustling noise, a man in his thirties came over with a suitcase. He lifted the corner of Lin Zhixia’s quilt, touched her socks, and the cold wind swept through his body suddenly, Lin Zhixia instantly awake. She sat up suddenly and shouted fiercely: “What are you doing!”

Lin Zeqiu also woke up. He got out of bed and asked in a bad tone, “Who are you?”

The strange man smelled of alcohol. He glanced at the ticket and rubbed his chin: “Oh… I recognized the wrong position.”

Lin Zeqiu was so angry. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has a strong texture, like a solid mountain, standing in the aisle of the carriage. He didn’t say a word, but he looked brave and relentless. The stranger apologized again and again and walked away with his luggage.

“Brother.” Lin Zhixia called to him.

He sat down by her bed: “Go to sleep, it’s okay. If that person comes again, I will discount his legs.”

Lin Zhixia lay down again.

Lin Zeqiu tucked the quilt for her. She hugged the penguin and lay quietly on her side. Lin Zeqiu patted her on the back lightly. In the dark environment, he whispered: “You are studying abroad alone, and you are not familiar with the place of life…”

“I will adapt,” Lin Zhixia replied, “don’t worry about me.”

He put his palm on the quilt: “You are more courageous than before. When you were young, you were scared to cry by strangers.”

Lin Zhixia was silent, and sank into a dream. At 4:30 in the morning, she woke up once and found Lin Zeqiu still sitting on the edge of her bed. He was holding a book in his hand and reading it over and over, she asked: “Did you not sleep all night?”

He said: “Lie down for a while and can’t sleep anymore.”

Lin Zhixia hugged the penguin in her arms: “Brother…”

“Ok?”

“Thank you.”

He replied: “I am your brother, there is nothing to thank.”

Lin Zhixia feels that since her brother went to college, the relationship between their brothers and sisters has grown by leaps and bounds. From the childhood “one little quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days”, it has developed into the current “harmonious coexistence and courage”. I am very pleased.

After returning home, Lin Zhixia grabbed her mother’s wrist and said to her mother: “Mom, my brother and I have grown up, and we won’t fight anymore.”

The mother really praised: “Mom knows that you are all good children.”

They were standing in a clean and tidy living room, a refreshing breeze blew from the balcony, the cicadas in summer, and the kitchen was filled with the familiar smell of food. Lin Zhixia felt more relaxed and her mood improved. She dragged the suitcase into her bedroom and started to pack her clothes.

Mom came over to help her.

Dad was still talking to his brother in the living room.

Lin Zhixia remembered an important thing. She revealed: “Mom, mom, I made money by selling software, and I made a total of 370,000 yuan. I spent 4,000 yuan on the phone for my brother, and there is 366,000 left. Let’s buy a house and pay the down payment. “

Mother was so surprised that she didn’t say anything for a long time. With tears in her eyes, she praised her daughter a few words, and called her husband and son over. A family of four gathered in the bedroom to discuss how to deal with the huge sum of money.

To Lin Zhixia’s expectation, her parents and brother did not agree to buy a house. They agreed that since Lin Zhixia is going to study a PhD abroad, the 360,000 yuan is her reserve fund.

Dad said earnestly: “Xiaxia, your mother and I have lived here for almost 20 years, and I have long been used to it. If you want to study abroad, you have to spend money everywhere…”

“I have a scholarship.” Lin Zhixia declared.

My mother said: “Your father just read a book a few days ago. It tells the story of a group of people who went to study in the United States in the last century. Those students’ homes were poor, they suffered outside, and were bullied by foreign landlords. You have to go to a Chinese restaurant to wash the dishes and work. Your father is afraid that you will also wash the dishes abroad.”

Dad sighed.

Lin Zhixia was dumbfounded.

She emphasized again and again: “I don’t know how to wash dishes. I want to go to Cambridge because they have a quantum research group that focuses on chemistry. The current quantum chip materials are still controversial, and I want to change my mind to solve the problem. , Key universities recruit teachers, and the recruitment notice will write “Overseas study or work experience is preferred”…”

“Where are you going to be a professor after you graduate?” Lin Zeqiu asked.

Lin Zhixia planned: “I want to be a teacher in the best university in our province.”

The best universities in their province are ranked in the top five in the country.

Lin Zhixia is full of expectations: “I can be colleagues with Teacher Shen Zhaohua and sister Zhu Chan.”

Lin Zeqiu had a foreboding that his sister would become a young professor. If he is a graduate student at the best university in the province, and even has the opportunity to listen to Lin Zhixia’s class, he shivered and stopped talking.

The supermarket at home was temporarily closed for one hour, and both parents had no intention of working. Lin Zhixia and Lin Zeqiu hadn’t been home for too long. They came back like a pair of birds homing, making their parents try to protect them under their wings.

During the few days when Lin Zhixia and her brother were at home, her parents treated their siblings with great care, and because Lin Zhixia made a lot of money, her mother was so happy that the whole family ate shrimp dumplings for three consecutive days. Mother made a lot of dumplings, and Lin Zhixia had a good meal.

On the day he left home, Lin Zhixia was particularly reluctant to part with her parents. But she had to rush to the future. She took her brother’s hand and separated from her parents at the train station. The siblings walked a long distance, Lin Zhixia looked back and saw that his parents were still outside the station, staring at them in the distance under the scorching sun.

The summer continues.

The heat in July and August is hard to dissipate. Fortunately, the school laboratory has air conditioning.

Lin Zhixia is rooted in the laboratory and devotes himself to researching “state maintenance strategies for superconducting quantum circuits.” She has been cultivating in this field for several months. It was the harvest season. After repeatedly verifying the experimental data, she began to draft a paper-this article was affirmed by Mr. Gu. The teacher said that after she finished writing, she could vote for ” PhysicalReviewLetters”.

“PhysicalReview Letters” is the top journal in physics.

Lin Zhixia has plenty of motivation. She writes papers in full vigor every day.

The topic of this paper originally belonged to Tan Qianche, but Tan Qianche’s research methods are not the same as Lin Zhixia, and his experimental results are much worse than Lin Zhixia. For this reason, Tan Qianche specifically came to Lin Zhixia for advice. Their discussion lasted a whole week.

Lin Zhixia listened to some of Tan Qianche’s opinions and slightly improved her experiment. She said politely: “Thank you, I will add your name to the list of authors of the paper.”

Tan Qianche said calmly, “That’s not necessary, I have a dozen essays.”

Lin Zhixia calmly replied: “Ms. Gu said that my article on the analysis of superconducting quantum circuits is very comprehensive and has a far-reaching impact. It can be published in “PhysicalReview Letters”.”

The corner of Tan Qianche’s mouth twitched, but he still held up his posture: “PhysicalReview Letters is a good journal…”

He couldn’t say anything afterwards. He felt that Lin Zhixia’s current academic level was not far behind him, and might even be on par with him-her progress was amazingly fast. She will never forget all the knowledge points she has seen and heard.

He changed his words and said: “You worked harder, wrote the paper earlier, and voted. This article is the biggest achievement you have made so far. It is also a small step forward for you. You can do better in the future. Content.”

“I know,” Lin Zhixia faced the screen, typing on the keyboard, “I am sixteen years old, and the future is long.”

She was only sixteen years old, Tan Qianche thought.

What was he doing when he was sixteen? He inevitably thought of Wei Ruoxing again. He walked out of the laboratory building and went downstairs to smoke a cigarette.

During the summer vacation, their campus is open to the public, and you can enter the school for free only by making an appointment in advance. Tan Qianche saw a lot of tourists, as well as bold girls who chatted with him, asked for his mobile phone number, and asked him if he was a college student.

He lied that he was not.

He said that he dropped out of junior high school, has no money in his family, has been married for many years, has children and daughters, and lives happily.

A few days ago, Tan Qianche spent three nights trying to get a paper. Now he has a shaggy beard and messy hair. The breeze blew his cotton T-shirt, with a cigarette in his mouth, and a plastic lighter in his hand. He looked stubborn, simple and sloppy.

At exactly this time, a 16 or 17-year-old boy came across. The boy was dressed clean and tidy, and his appearance was extremely handsome, so handsome that he was dizzy. Tan Qianche raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted at him: “Jiang Yubai, are you coming to Lin Zhixia?”

Jiang Yubai has never entered Lin Zhixia’s university. He was about to go abroad, so he wanted to come and have a look. He didn’t notify Lin Zhixia, because he knew she was busy and might not have time to receive him.

Jiang Yubai briefly explained the whole story. Tan Qianche originally thought that Lin Zhixia had better concentrate on academics and not get involved with anyone—but he could see from Jiang Yubai the unique innocence of young people.

The word “innocent” is far away from Tan Qianche.

After smoking a cigarette, Tan Qianche turned and walked into the laboratory building, and gave Lin Zhixia a word. Jiang Yubai stood outside the laboratory building and waited a few minutes before Lin Zhixia appeared. She ran out of the elevator and ran towards him: “Why don’t you call me?”

He had good reasons: “I can’t disturb you.”

Under the dense tree shade, he smiled and laughed at himself: “I still can’t help but want to see you.”

Lin Zhixia raised his hand and hooked his little finger: “You wait another year, we are in a school again.”

She took the initiative to pull the hook with him, and he said: “School is about to start, I plan to go abroad next week.”

“Can you come back this Christmas holiday?” Lin Zhixia asked cautiously.

Jiang Yubai did not readily agree to her request as before. He pretended to hesitate and said, “If I can’t come back…”

Lin Zhixia patted him on the shoulder: “Then you stay there and study hard.”

Jiang Yubai thought he could hear Lin Zhixia say “I will miss you so much”, it seems that he used the wrong strategy. However, Lin Zhixia did take time out of her busy schedule and took Jiang Yubai to visit her university campus.

They traveled to every corner of the school, and she went to the supermarket to buy him ice cream. They were sitting on a bench by the lake, and the heat waves of August in midsummer were one after another. Lin Zhixia pointed to the road in front of him and said: “Every morning and evening, I will pass by here. This is the way from my bedroom to the laboratory building.”

Jiang Yubai pointed to a tree nearby: “If I were this tree, I would greet you in the morning and evening.”

Lin Zhixia grabbed a strawberry cone, and the melted milk almost dripped onto her skirt: “You, are you writing poems or talking to me?”

It might be a love poem, Jiang Yubai thought.

So he replied: “It has both meanings.”

Lin Zhixia immediately declared: “I have something to tell you.”

She smelled the scent of strawberries and was about to bravely confess, when a group of tourists suddenly came by the roadside-it was a group of parents with children. They kept talking, taking pictures everywhere, laughing noisily, this area by the lake was no longer quiet and hidden, Lin Zhixia gave up the idea of ​​confession.

Jiang Yubai waited for a while, but Lin Zhixia still didn’t speak, he always felt that he had missed something very important.

At noon that day, Lin Zhixia invited Jiang Yubai to eat a meal at school. After the meal, Lin Zhixia personally sent him out of the school gate and watched him get in the car. The deadline for Lin Zhixia’s paper is approaching and Jiang Yubai is about to go abroad again. They will probably not meet again until December this year.

The car started, the wheels sped, and they moved further and further away.

Lin Zhixia stood on the side of the street for a few minutes, abandoning all her sadness, and raced back to the laboratory building.

The day when Lin Zhixia completed the first draft of his thesis, it happened to be September 1st-the university’s “welcome day for freshmen.”

Both Deng Shasha and Feng Yuan volunteered for the “New Student Welcome Day”. Near noon, Deng Shasha called Lin Zhixia and asked Lin Zhixia to bring her a pancake from the cafeteria. She had to fight on the front line and care for every schoolboy and sister. By the way, see if the school has recruited this year. Handsome guy.

After Lin Zhixia bought the pancakes, Deng Shasha called again. Deng Shasha laughed and said: “The Emperor is worthy of his heart! I’m waiting for the handsome guy! He is really handsome, but a little thin. The 18-year-old schoolboy is so good…”

Afterwards, Deng Shasha broadcasted live: “I saw his name, and I feel so sad… Oh, his friends are not bad too, I am so ridiculous. His friend is wearing a short sleeve printed with our school badge. My fellow…how come you have a crop of beauties in your hometown, I want to settle down after graduation.”
