Chapter 303: The Eyes of the Beholder
All kinds of news were flying around on the Internet, but it did not affect Xu Qingzhou at all.
He was very busy. In addition to advancing the proof of the Polignac conjecture, he also spent a day finishing the report he was going to give at the annual mathematics conference on the 17th.
The report includes some improvements to the proof of the twin prime theorem, as well as the latest results on the estimation of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function and related functions.
Academician Chu Jiangfeng seemed to know that his apprentice was very busy, so he made two phone calls to ask Xu Qingzhou if there was anything he didn't understand about harmonic analysis. After hearing Xu Qingzhou say that he basically understood it, he disappeared again.
After finishing the report, Xu Qingzhou put all his energy into conjecture.
Just like those masters in novels who could feel the signs of their own advancement, after being busy for half a month, he also vaguely found that he seemed to be catching the tail of inspiration.
Time flies by in the busyness, and it is December 12th in a blink of an eye.
After many sunny days, Kyoto welcomed its second heavy snowfall.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the night was dark and snowflakes were falling all over the sky, drawing beautiful lines under the orange street lights.
"It's freezing cold."
The two young men had just returned, rubbing their hands, stamping their feet at the door, shaking off the snow on their bodies.
After arriving home and changing shoes, Xu Qingzhou helped the school beauty Song, who was wrapped like a penguin, to take off her scarf.
Song Yao is very afraid of cold.
When she took off her down jacket, her slim figure was revealed.
"Whoo~"
"It's still comfortable at home."
The two of them curled up on the sofa to rest. Xu Qingzhou was so busy that he felt dizzy. Song Yao was also not having an easy time. She had to take courses for her second degree, work on a project with Li Daiyue, and learn economics knowledge at the graduate level.
The two of them lay there for more than ten minutes. Seeing that it was almost 11 o'clock, Xu Qingzhou pinched Song Yao's face and said, "You can go take a shower now."
Just a pinch and a faint red mark appeared on the fair cheek.
Too tender.
Song Yao didn't move, she lay on top of Xu Qingzhou and said, "You go first, I'll warm the bed for you."
"Or, together?" Xu Qingzhou suggested.
"No." Song Yao rolled her eyes at Xu Qingzhou and rejected him mercilessly. This guy is not very smart sometimes. He still brings it up even though he knows it is impossible.
Xu Qingzhou closed his eyes and said lazily: "Then I won't go either."
The principle is the same. If you don't want to take a bath together, it's not difficult to wear stockings and give yourself a little fun.
Song Yao raised her head, her eyes moist, and said softly: "Teacher Xu, go take a shower first~"
The voice was soft.
Xu Qingzhou gasped, feeling refreshed. He thought to himself that School Beauty Song had updated her skills again. It was too destructive for a cold and aloof girl to suddenly act coquettishly.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou raise his eyebrows and show an expression of enjoyment, Song Yao knew that it was working.
"Teacher Xu~"
"Don't go."
As expected, Xu Qingzhou refused. He had grown up a long time ago and was no longer the Xu Qingzhou of the past.
"You really don't want to go?"
"unless."
"Xu Qingzhou."
"."
Facing the dangerous gaze of Song Xiaohua, Xu Qingzhou's eyelids twitched. He wanted to be naughty again, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into: "Okay, I'll go."
How does this girl manage to seamlessly combine cuteness and coolness?
Song Yao nodded with satisfaction, let go of Xu Qingzhou, asked him to take a shower, and leaned back on the sofa to play the Pesticide training camp. This game was launched on the 29th of last month and is simpler to operate than League of Legends.
It's educational and perfect for killing time.
Xu Qingzhou went back to the bedroom to get some clean clothes. He looked at the girl's dangling feet and muttered, "Everyone sees beauty in the eyes of their lovers. We are a little different."
"What's different?" Song Yao raised her eyelids and looked at him.
"We are the devil in the eyes of our lovers."
"."
Xu Qingzhou answered quietly, and before Song Yanwang could react, he had already slipped into the bathroom.
"Xu Qingzhou, you're finished!" Song Yao threatened with her fists clenched.
The sound of splashing water and the boy's nasty voice came from the bathroom, "Come in and talk if you dare."
"."
"You don't dare anymore?" the person in the bathroom continued to provoke.
"I'll wait for you to come out."
Song Yao would never be fooled by such a low-level provocation.
In the bathroom, Xu Qingzhou shook his head regretfully. He had seen everything he should have seen and touched everything he should have touched on the bed, and this was still at home. He would not agree to change places.
Humming a little tune: "Ah~ Five Rings, you have one more ring than the Four Rings~"
The singing coming from the bathroom made Song Yao curl her lips and take a bath together.
She imagined the scene in her mind, and her face couldn't help but get hot. She felt a little confused but strange, and inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation.
It’s just like when I wore stockings for Xu Qingzhou to see this time.
I feel weird, but I am looking forward to it.
She patted her cheeks to cool her face.
and many more.
Song Yao's expression froze slightly, and she realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, when Xu Qingzhou found the stockings, he would definitely find ways to make me wear them, but during this time, apart from tempting me to take a bath with him, he never mentioned it.
something wrong.
This guy is an lsp.
So, what's the problem.
"If I could do it again, I would choose Li Bai."
lsp is still singing in the bathroom.
Song Yao glanced in the direction of the bathroom, her expression became more serious, and suddenly she understood.
Found the key issue.
Take a bath.
This guy must be trying to do the same thing as last time, using the trick of besieging Wei to save Zhao, first asking for a bath together, then making a second choice and asking for other small requests, such as wearing stockings.
Bathing in winter tends to take longer.
After three songs, Xu Qingzhou came out drying his hair. When he opened the door, he saw Song Yao holding a hair dryer with an expressionless face, motioning him to come over.
"I was wrong."
Xu Qingzhou admitted his mistake straightforwardly.
"I forgive you." Song Yao pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down.
Xu Qingzhou still felt that Song Yao's expression was not right, so he walked over and confirmed, "You won't do anything, will you?"
Song Yao shook her head: "I won't beat you up for this."
"Sure?"
"Ah."
Xu Qingzhou was still hesitating.
Song Yao used her ultimate move: "In your eyes, am I really a violent woman who only knows how to beat people up every day?"
Xu Qingzhou sat down obediently on the sofa in front of Song Yao, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. School beauty Song really didn't do anything.
The buzzing sound of a hair dryer was heard in the living room.
After 1 minute, blow dry your hair.
crunch.
"Song Yao, you are cheating. You said you wouldn't do anything!"
Xu Qingzhou was pressed on the sofa, and Song Yao squinted her eyes and gently rubbed his ears. "Well, I said I wouldn't fight because of 'what happened just now', but I didn't say we can't fight because of other things." Song Yao had a reason.
"?"
"Hiss~ My waist will break if I twist it any further!"
"Deserve it!"
"I'm not washing my hair tonight. You can go warm the bed."
After pressing Xu Qingzhou on the sofa and ravaging him for a long time, Song Yao went to take a shower contentedly.
Xu Qingzhou covered his waist, feeling very confused. He sat on the sofa and began to reflect. Then he became even more confused. You always take revenge on the spot. How could a grudge accumulate until now?
The sound of running water was heard again in the bathroom.
"Oh, I like to take revenge on my grudges."
Xu Qingzhou glanced hatefully in the direction of the bathroom, stood up, and went to the bed to warm the quilt for School Beauty Song. He sat back and leaned against the head of the bed. He had some free time and finally had time to read various news on the Internet.
The hot comments on Twitter are very interesting and have something to say. Although the London Science Daily is just a gossip media under the name of science, its professionalism is really beyond reproach.
It is very difficult to go from 0 to 1, but it is natural to go from 1 to 2, so everyone believes that the Polignac conjecture will be proved or falsified.
"Brenda Reeves is right. The Xia people's education system is simply not good."
"Oh, you are criticizing others. I really want to know what achievements you have made, Mr. Reeves, who claims to be a mathematician."
"Xiaguo has long been surpassed by India."
"India? Besides its population, what else can it have that surpasses Xiaguo? The elements in the Ganges?"
"The yellow monkey must lose."
"Old black man from Africa, your master is calling you back to dig coal!"
Where there is controversy there will be traffic.
At 11: pm, the two young people were already lying on the bed. Song Yao poked Xu Qingzhou, "Jiahui said she saw your haters."
Xu Qingzhou opened the Weibo post sent by Ding Jiahui in the group.
The blogger’s name is Dai Lu, and her tag is a female PhD in mathematics.
Introduction: Who says girls can't learn math?
From the introduction, Xu Qingzhou already smelled something different.
82 million fans.
He immediately clicked on the first video, and soon a short-haired girl with exaggerated body language and movements appeared.
"Hello, I'm Dai Lu who loves mathematics. In this episode, we're going to talk about Xu Qingzhou, a popular mathematical genius."
"While working on the Polignac conjecture project, he participated in a professor's physics experiment, and was then sent to the Quantum Research Institute by Kyoto University. In August, he was sent to the LHC and gave a speech on stage."
"This time, it is foreseeable that this God Xu's project will definitely fail."
"Society is very tolerant of men. If they have two million in funding but fail to come up with anything, no one will say anything. If it were a woman, she would definitely be scolded to death."
Look at the comments section again.
"Yes, society is full of malice towards women!"
"Sister Lu told the truth, and a bunch of men were shocked."
"How petty must the men who boycott Lu Jie be? Isn't it an objective fact that women are treated fairly? It's just a joke, is there a problem with that?"
Xu Qingzhou had a strange look on his face, and finally understood why he felt something was wrong at the beginning.
There is a saying: One strike is enough to prevent a hundred blows from coming.
"She's crazy about becoming famous." Song Yao felt that this woman had something wrong with her brain.
She studied economics, so of course she knew what this person was thinking, so she stirred up confrontation, sparked discussion, and attracted people's attention.
In this era, with the rise of social platforms, video platforms and live streaming platforms are also developing rapidly, and a group of Internet celebrities, referred to as Internet celebrities, have gradually emerged.
In today's world where traffic is king, traffic means income.
In the coming period, the internet celebrity economy is expected to experience a blowout development.
"Quite fun."
Xu Qingzhou shrugged his shoulders, accustomed to it, and thought that boxers would rise in the future. After all, working hard, you may only get a salary of three or four thousand, but you can take off directly by just talking and scolding men.
It is undeniable that there are indeed many inequality issues in society that need to be addressed, but boxers often ignore the facts and make illogical rebuttals, using a set of left-right fighting and three-dimensional defense, and they are very good at it.
"It's 12 o'clock, go to bed."
Xu Qingzhou yawned, turned over and pressed on Song Yao, then reached out and turned off the light.
"Xu Qingzhou, you have to attend a mathematics conference tomorrow."
"Well, it doesn't matter."
"Hmm~"
In a rented house in Kyoto.
Dai Lu is looking at her fans. In just one day, her number of fans increased by 10.
"Sister Lu, is there really nothing wrong with this?" the assistant said uncertainly.
"You don't understand this, right? Black fans are also fans. When Party A places advertisements for us, does it have to screen one by one to see how many of them are real fans?" Dai Lu said nonchalantly.
The assistant nodded in understanding, paused, glanced at the message, and said, "Advertisers of eyebrow pencils please contact Brother Zhang."
"Let him increase the advertising fee by another 20%." Dai Lu groaned.
Once I got the advertising fee, I could choose a house. After living in Kyoto for 8 years, I was finally able to buy a house with the help of my sisters.
The assistant nodded: "Oh, OK, I'll call Brother Zhang right away."
"Once this batch of eyebrow pencils is sold, I will give you a bonus." Dai Lu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Dai!"
The annual meeting of the Xiaguo Mathematical Society was held at Kyoto Normal University. At 8:20 in the morning, Xu Qingzhou appeared at the gate of Kyoto Normal University.
"Hello, I'm here to attend the annual mathematics meeting." Seeing a few volunteers at the gate, Xu Qingzhou went over and said.
"You are... Xu Qingzhou!" After staring at Xu Qingzhou for a long time, the little girl's face turned red, not sure if it was because of the cold or because of excitement.
"Ah."
"I'll take you there."
"Are you cold?"
"No, no, I'm excited. It's just the first time I see my idol in person."
Xu Qingzhou: “.”
thank you.
Under the guidance of volunteers, Xu Qingzhou soon arrived at the lecture hall of the Student Activity Center.
The opening ceremony and award presentation will be held on the 14th. Over the course of three and a half days, seven large-scale lectures will be held here, plus countless group reports.
His seat is in the second row.
When Xu Qingzhou entered, he saw many familiar faces, including Academician Wang Lin, who had given reports at the number theory conference before, and Academician Zhou Mengkui, with whom he had exchanged contact information, who gave a lecture on the "Bisection of Holmander-type oscillating integral operators."
There are also Professor Lu Ling and Professor Jiang Shiding whom I met at the number theory seminar.
Sure enough, mathematics, like physics, is a circle. There are tens of thousands of people studying it, but only those people can stand in the circle. As long as you have been in this circle, they are basically familiar faces.
After greeting his acquaintances, Xu Qingzhou sat down.
"Professor Gu, Professor Chu."
Ten minutes later, Gu Zhizhong and Chu Jiangfeng came in, chatting and laughing.
Xu Qingzhou stood up to greet the two teachers.
Gu Zhizhong was very happy today, smiling and said, "Xiao Xu, I'm afraid you will break the record for the age of the winner this time."
"I'll keep up the good work." Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly, thinking that this was all routine work, and maybe in the future he could even break the age record for Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners.
Academician Chu smiled and asked, "Xiao Xu, have you prepared the report and speech?"
"Ready." Xu Qingzhou nodded. The report was ready. As for the speech, he didn't need to prepare much. He was very skilled at it and could just make a rough draft in his mind.
After a brief greeting, everyone returned to their seats and waited for the meeting to begin.
