After a long wait, Lu Zhou finally received a reply from Nature.
[Dear Professor Lu Zhou, we are surprised and excited about your research results. This is without a doubt a great invention. Your paper will be published in the next edition of Nature Chemistry...]
When Lu Zhou was reading this email on his computer screen, he could not help but smile.
This day finally ca.
Once his thesis was published, then he could complete his reward mission.
He was looking forward to how much experience points he would get.
Also, it was not just about the experience points. Many people were bound to be interested in his patents.
In the sa afternoon, Lu Zhou drove his Ford Explorer SUV to Philadelphia Airport.
He stopped his car and walked inside the airport. From far away, he saw a little girl wearing a hat while she dragged a suitcase behind her.
Lu Zhou instantly recognized Xiao Tong. He walked over and patted her shoulder from behind.
“Hey.”
“Ah!”
Xiao Tong was surprised by the sudden tap.
She turned around and when she saw Lu Zhou, she was relieved but she still gave him a dirty look.
“Did you know that I nearly got a heart attack!”
Lu Zhou only wanted to give her a surprise. He had not expected her reaction.
I see you still treat like this.
Don’t know if you’re going to transition smoothly into university life...
After Lu Zhou picked up Xiao Tong, they did not stay at the airport for long. He took her to the parking lot and was about to introduce her to his favorite car when Xiao Tong wandered around.
Lu Zhou was curious about what she was looking for and he asked, “What are you looking at?”
When Xiao Tong did not see what she expected, she asked, “Brother, why are you the only one picking up?”
Lu Zhou, “...?”
Do you want a security guard or what?
Lu Zhou never realized what Xiao Tong was talking about.
Xiao Tong got in the backseat and did not wear her seatbelt. She started to curiously touch the interior of the car.
She suddenly said to her brother who was in the driver’s seat, “Brother, are we going directly to Princeton?”
“Princeton isn’t fun. Let’s go shopping in Philadelphia,” said Lu Zhou. He started the car but did not drive yet. Instead, he took out his phone and sent Chen Yushan a ssage.
“Oh...” said Xiao Tong. She then added with a sad tone, “But I want to go to Princeton.”
Lu Zhou said, “There’s nothing fun about that place.”
“It’s not all about fun. Dad and mom told to see if you’re taking care of yourself,” said Xiao Tong. She then poked her head to the front seat and said, “Oh, and I have to inspect if you have found yourself a pretty girlfriend.”
What is this?
So my parents sent you to spy on ?
Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. However, his heart was full of warmth.
Even though he was in a foreign country, every ti he thought about his family who cared for him from thousands of miles away, it made him felt less lonely.
“I’m taking care of myself well, as for a girlfriend... Tell them not to worry about it.”
Xiao Tong said, “Hey, it’s not up to you, I’m the one inspecting.”
“Ok ok ok, Miss. Inspector. Please go ahead,” said Lu Zhou with a smile. He then put away his phone and stepped on the gas pedal.
He was not familiar with Philadelphia as he had only been there a handful of tis.
Fortunately, he had a friend that went to school here, who could show them around town.
However, he would owe Chen Yushan one.
...
The University of Pennsylvania was not far from the airport. Lu Zhou stopped the car in a nearby cafe and quickly saw Chen Yushan who was waving her hand at them.
Surprisingly, Chen Yushan was not alone.
Next to her, in a red and black sumr dress, was Han ngqi. If it was not because of the contrast between Han ngqi’s depressed look and Chen Yushan’s excited look, they would really look like sisters.
Speaking of which, Lu Zhou had not seen his student since he went to CERN to participate in the European Research Summit. He had not expected to see her on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
Lu Zhou was not too sure, so he called her na.
“Han ngqi?”
When Han ngqi heard the familiar voice, she suddenly looked up.
Then, she was stunned.
“Teacher?!”
When Han ngqi saw the familiar face, her eyes popped wide opened.
Her cousin said that they were going to see a friend, but she did not ntion who.
She did not expect that the friend was Lu Zhou?!
Suddenly, she rembered that she did not dress up at all. Not only did she not have makeup on, but she did not even brush her hair. Her cheeks turned red.
Suddenly, she noticed that there was a girl standing next to Lu Zhou, who was looking at her curiously.
Han ngqi, who was sowhat confused, cald down and hid behind her cousin.
Xiao Tong: ???
Lu Zhou did not notice Han ngqi’s change of emotion. He greeted Chen Yushan and said to Han ngqi, “I haven’t seen you in forever... When did you co to Philadelphia? I didn’t even know.”
It had been a year since Lu Zhou last saw Han ngqi, but she did not grow taller at all.
Obviously, ngqi had not been eating well since Lu Zhou left.
Since Han ngqi had her head down and did not speak, Lu Zhou felt a little awkward.
Chen Yushan, who was standing next to her, sighed and patted her cousin’s shoulder.
“My lovely cousin was in a bad mood, so she ca out of the house with .”
Han ngqi whispered, “Master, sorry for disappointing you.”
This was the second ti that Lu Zhou nearly chocked today.
It was like Xiao Tong heard a big piece of news. She looked at her brother and asked, “Master? What is this situation?”
Lu Zhou knocked his dirty-minded sister on the head and said, “What do you an what situation is this? Didn’t I tell you that I did so tutoring during my second year?”
Xiao Tong gasped.
Han ngqi looked at Lu Zhou and Xiao Tong with confusion. She felt the relationship dynamic between the two was not what she expected.
Lu Zhou looked at her. He paused for a mont before saying, “I know what you’re feeling right now, but I hope you’re not discouraged. You did really well. When I first started to teach you, you couldn’t even do basic elliptic equations. By the end, you were getting 130 on your tests consistently. I’m sure you noticed the improvent. If you didn’t get in...”
Han ngqi smiled and said, “I passed the requirent, but there were too many people applying for mathematics major this year...”
The f*ck, the mathematics departnt of the University of Jin Ling is popular now?
Lu Zhou was surprised that Han ngqi did not get into mathematics.
The mathematics departnt of the University of Jin Ling rejects people?
When Dean Qin ntioned about the sudden influx in popularity, Lu Zhou thought that he was joking. It turned out that Dean Qin was not joking after all.
It seed that he underestimated the influence of his “Mini Nobel Prize” and Goldbach’s conjecture.
Honestly speaking, Kai University, Shuimu University, Yan University, and Shan University, all had better mathematics departnts than the University of Jin Ling. The strength of the University of Jin Ling was physics. However, most undergraduate students did not know this fact.
I feel like I screwed over a lot of people...
But now is obviously not the ti to point that out.
Lu Zhou imdiately asked, “Then which course did you transfer to?”
Han ngqi nearly cried, “Applied chemistry...”
