It was six o’clock at night when Lu Zhou went into the kitchen and put on an apron before he started to cook. This was part of their agreent. The chick also followed him into the kitchen and watched him as she was very interested.
The kitchen was stock with fresh food that Mrs. Yang probably bought.
There was tofu, pork tenderloin, and so fresh vegetables. Not only that, the almost used up salt and herbs were also replenished.
It seed that Mrs. Yang acquiesced him using her kitchen. After all, she did not want her daughter to eat junk food and takeout every day.
But...
Why doesn’t she hire a maid?
It did not bother Lu Zhou. He was happy to eat dinner at his custor’s house because he did not have to spend money. He asked if Han ngqi could eat spicy food before he started to cook.
Han ngqi asked, “Have you been a tutor before?”
Lu Zhou replied while pouring the oil into the pot, “This is my first ti.”
Han ngqi’s eyes widened. She had not expected his answer and said, “Really? I think you’re pretty good at teaching.”
“You think so? Probably because I used to occasionally tutor my little sister,” said Lu Zhou. He stir-fried the minceat, put in the tofu, added water, and covered the pot with a lid. He then turned the fire to a simr and went to chop tomatoes.
He was making mapo tofu. As for the tomatoes, he was preparing it for fried eggs with tomatoes.
“You have a little sister?” asked Han ngqi in surprise. She then added, “How old is she?”
“Sa age as you. Grade 10 now and she’ll be Grade 11 after this sumr.”
Han ngqi twitched her nose. She was envious and sighed.
“I’m so jealous...”
“What are you jealous for? A little sister is very annoying.”
Han ngqi tilted her head and asked, “Do you hate your sister?”
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and shook his head, “Of course not, she’s my family. Why would I hate her?”
He did not ntion that one should love your family no matter what.
“I’m still jealous...” said Han ngqi. She pouted, “I wish I have a brother.”
What? Maybe she wants to be the troubleso sibling?
Lu Zhou rolled his eyes.
Han ngqi stood next to him as she looked at the boiling pot and did not say anything. Suddenly she asked curiously, “Would my parents still make a brother if they divorced?”
Lu Zhou thought and replied, “I don’t know... Even if they did, it’d be a younger brother.”
Speaking of which, why are you so looking forward to your parents’ divorce?
Unexplainable.
Han ngqi blushed and realized that she had asked a stupid question. She stuck her tongue out and did not say anything.
Lu Zhou placed the rice on the table. This ti, he cooked three cups so that they did not have to worry about running out of rice to eat.
Han ngqi sat on the dining table and started to eat the mapo tofu. Her fair forehead was full of sweat and her neck was moist from the steam but she did not complain as she ate happily.
Lu Zhou looked at this chick. He smiled and said, “You’re like your cousin. You guys both like spicy food.”
Han ngqi opened her mouth and was about to eat when she put down the spoon and tilted her head, “What? My cousin doesn’t like spicy food.”
Lu Zhou: ? ? ?
Han ngqi tilted her head and confused, she asked Lu Zhou, “What?”
“Nothing?” replied Lu Zhou with an awkward expression.
I’ll apologize to her the next ti I buy her food...
They finished eating and Lu Zhou tidied up the table. He warned Han ngqi to stay safe when she was alone at ho and left.
He called a DiDi cab outside the apartnt and went back to school.
Just as Lu Zhou was getting off the car in front of the school, he received a WeChat ssage from Mrs. Yang.
[Transfer: 1000]
Also...
[Yang Danqi: Thank you.]
Lu Zhou saw the thank you ssage and paused. He smiled and typed, [You’re welco.]
He was going to put his phone back into his pocket when a call ca through.
He saw that Liu Rui was calling. Lu Zhou laughed. He thought that Liu Rui must have forgotten his keys and picked up the call.
However, just as he was about to tease the kid, an eager voice ca through.
“Brother Zhou, sothing bad happened!”
...
Liu Rui imdiately notified Lu Zhou.
Liu Rui was pretty arrogant sotis, but he was not malevolent. Therefore, Lu Zhou decided to put up with him.
The important thing was, what exactly happened?
Lu Zhou went back to the dorm, picked up Liu Rui’s phone, and started to read the article.
[On the topic of modern Chinese university academics: Starting from an undergraduate student’s thesis]
The article discussed the overall situation of Chinese academics, from mathematics to physics, from computer science to philosophy. The last sentence talked about why China did not produce great scientists like Einstein and Newton.
Anyone that had written an article would know that the broader a question was, the more one could bullsh*t about it. One did not even have to be an expert to answer the question.
Then the article criticized the academic value of posting nine SCI theses into one journal. It portrayed this undergraduate student as an “academic cancer” that did not know anything.
Correct, they actually used the word “academic cancer”.
Finally, it said that this undergraduate student ca from the University of Jin Ling and the first na was Zhou.
The author was a scholar, comntator, scientific writer and a well known intellectual. He even had a “verified” check mark next to his profile picture.
This guy has millions of followers.
However...
Lu Zhou was muddled.
Who is this guy?
I don’t even know you. What the hell are you doing?
I wrote the theses with my own abilities so why shouldn’t I publish them? How did it affect you?
Liu Rui did not realize the seriousness of the situation and he laughed as he said, “When did you learn computer science? When did you submit to SCI?”
He had a thought but did not say it. It was: “I’ll try submitting as well.”
“I learned it while watching a movie! Why?” answered Lu Zhou angrily as he stared at him.
Liu Rui saw that Lu Zhou was angry so he shut his mouth up.
Lu Zhou took in a deep breath and once he cald down, he asked, “Where did you see this?”
He did not believe that this kid would be bored enough to follow so so-called education comntator.
“A computer science student from my mathematical modeling training group posted it and I saw it... But I didn’t post it to my news feed!” clarified Liu Rui.
Jealousy was still jealousy. Just because he was competitive did not an that he was malevolent. Lu Zhou knew that his own roommate would not stab him in the back.
Lu Zhou did not respond and continued to read Weibo.
Liu Rui saw that Liu Rui did not speak so he asked, “What are we going to do?”
Lu Zhou did not know either. He did not even have a Weibo account. He had heard of Weibo before but never signed up.
Lu Zhou, “Insult him for .”
Liu Rui, “Insult for what? Wait, why don’t you insult him yourself?”
Lu Zhou, “I don’t have a Weibo account.”
Liu Rui: “...”
Finally, Liu Rui and Lu Zhou decided not to bother with this scum.
Who cares if you criticize ?
Little boy, I won’t even respond to you. Go and play with yourself! Who cares about you!
Then, Lu Zhou carried his computer bag and went to the library.
However, his analysis of the situation was oversimplified.
He was not just Lu Zhou, but he was also a University of Jin Ling student...
