Chapter 8, Excessive Force
"Ao Ye? Who is that? I often advise you not to stay up late."
How can one drink the coffee in the school? It is made from inferior coffee powder mixed with saccharin and cream. After spending so many years abroad, your taste must have become particularly discerning...
Ao Ye paused for a moment, then reached out to take the cola he offered, saying: "Thank you"
Su Dai picked up the coffee that had just been served and took a sip, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said, "It has been such a long time since we last met, it is inevitable that there will be some awkwardness... If I were to chase after you at this moment, wouldn't that be rather pointless?"
"The delay in the coffee is the café's issue. I did not come here to drink coffee, but to see you." Yu Xianqi waved his hand and said, "You all continue your conversation, I will take my leave first."
"That won't do. My good sister has returned, and of course, I must treat her to the best. The espresso here is particularly good, and I won't allow you to leave without trying it," Fu Yuren said, then called over the waiter and ordered, "Three cups of espresso."
"I will stay at Jinghai University to work," Yu Xianqi said. She had already signed a contract with Jinghai University, being a top graduate from MIT, and due to her outstanding performance, she was admitted to the world-renowned 'Celestial' laboratory. Jinghai University invited her back through a special talent introduction channel, offering her a very generous compensation package.
"During the Spring Festival, the research institute happened to be working on a project..." explained Yu Xianqi.
"Did you see the way other men are looking over here? It is filled with raw jealousy. Only I am worthy to sit with the two most beautiful and intelligent women in the room." Su Dai pulled out a chair and sat down, taking the initiative to greet Yu Xianqi, saying: "Xianqi, long time no see"
"Do not come over here," Ao Ye said, standing at the door with a suitcase in hand
The school only provides hard beds, but items such as bedding, pillows, basins, and water bottles need to be purchased by oneself
Having just returned to the country, Yu Xianqi does not have his own private vehicle for transportation, and his father does not drive at all. Fortunately, the Huajian Café is located right at the entrance of Jinghai University, and it only takes a little over ten minutes to walk back.
If he falls ill or encounters some disaster, as long as he does not die, I can save him myself... If I cannot save him, there is still Ao Mu.
It is my university classmate ... ... something said by a roommate ... ...
Moreover, it was originally agreed that it would be a meeting of close friends, but unexpectedly, the bookworm also showed up... The presence of the bookworm made her feel somewhat uncomfortable
Fu Yu acted decisively, unlocking his phone and dialing his grandfather's phone number
All three laughed
Ye Xin turned around again to educate Ao Ye, saying: "Ao Ye, you should be more mindful of your words. How could you possibly know his grandfather? You call his grandfather a little brat, but how old are you yourself?"
Ye Xin took out his cup for drinking water, and Gao Sen lifted the large water barrel to fill Ye Xin's cup.
Is that so? Su Dai said with a beaming smile and full confidence: "No matter how cunning the fish is, it cannot resist the temptation of the bait. What is the most important quality of a fisherman? Patience. And what I have in abundance is precisely this quality"
That is my grandfather's savior; you must treat him well... Where are you now? I will rush over immediately...
"Not at all," Su Dai shook his head, picked up a small spoon, and added sugar to his coffee cup, saying: "Pursuing a girl is like adding sugar to a cup of coffee. You can't add too little; otherwise, it won't balance the bitterness of the coffee beans. You also can't add too much; otherwise, it becomes overly sweet. The strength must be balanced, the amount just right, and it has to be perfect. One must avoid being too forceful."
Discretion is the unalterable principle of survival for the dragon clan
The fish idly played chess while lightly twirling her long hair, her movements graceful and enchanting. She said: "Su Dai is researching new energy, and the jade person is engaged in administrative management. I am studying superstrings... I am willing to think of you all, but I fear that Yu Jiadong would not agree. He has consistently criticized my research project as a waste of time and life, even publicly publishing articles claiming that superstrings are a grand deception of the century... Even if I wanted people, would he let you go?" He has consistently criticized my research project as a waste of time and life, even publicly publishing articles claiming that superstrings are a grand deception of the century... Even if I wanted people, would he let you go?"
Su Dai, like them, is also a "teacher's child" of Jinghai University, with both parents being professors or in administrative positions at the university. They grew up together, studied together, but later, while they were admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Su Dai directly entered the graduate program under Yu Jiadong at the School of Physics of Jinghai University. Now, he is working on energy research at the Dragon King Energy Research Laboratory alongside his father
"Use mine," Gao Sen said cheerfully, rummaging through the cabinet and producing a large iron cup with the words 'Serve the People' written in bold red characters.
He has also contemplated whether to use "face-swapping techniques" or "disguise techniques" to make himself look uglier... He has not yet made a decision
"Peh peh peh, what are you thinking about..."
Encountering a "noble person" when going out brings misfortune
-
What? Are you ready to give up?
Yes
After chatting for a while, the old friends met. Yu Xianqi raised his wrist to check the time and said, "It's time; I must leave first"
I am really not thirsty
"Is your grandfather Fu Dewang?" Ao Ye asked. Did he not just speak a truth? Why was he so angry?
Yu Xianqi does not enjoy idle chatter, as she has more important matters to attend to
I understand. So I heard you came back, and I arranged to meet you as soon as possible. By the way, am I the first person to invite you out for coffee? You must not say otherwise
Originally intending to slap Ao Ye's face, unexpectedly this slap ultimately landed on my own face
... ... ''
Indeed. From childhood to adulthood, everyone has said that Xianqi is a genius... a monster with an IQ of 170, we truly find it hard to keep up... If there are good research projects, Xianqi should think of us...
He burst in with one arm clutching a quilt and the other hand carrying a bucket of water, exclaiming: "Everyone must be thirsty, right? I brought back some water."
A burning pain
Then he looked at Ao Ye and said, "Classmate, where is your cup?"
When the fish leisurely walked to the center of the road and sensed that something was amiss, the front of the car was already within arm's reach, the biting wind and powerful impact made her legs weak, her body numb, and she was unable to move
I do know a beachcomber named Fu Dewang," Ao Ye said, "but I'm not entirely sure if he is your grandfather...
Upon hearing his grandfather's response, Fu Yu's face already displayed a strong sense of mockery as he said: "He claims he knows you... and also said that you were bitten by a sea snake when you were young, and he saved your life."
The red light has ended, the green light is on, and the fish leisurely walks briskly across the street.
The young man felt embarrassed, as if he had exhausted all his strength after saying this.
When Yu Xianqi arrived at the "Huajian" café in a relaxed mood, Fu Yuren was already waiting there.
He does not care whether the talisman can protect him; the key point is that he enjoys drinking cola
Grandfather ... ... Is it really true that this happened?" Fu Yu felt a bit flustered
I do not have a cup, Ao Ye said
Yu Xianqi sat down beside Fu Yuren and said: "Yuren, it has been a long time since we last met"
"This time when you come back, you won't leave again, will you?" Su Dai picked up the lemonade in front of her and took a sip, her gaze lingering on Yu Xianqi's face.
He hung up the phone directly
Moreover, the school is even willing to establish a research laboratory for her, assisting her in achieving new breakthroughs in the superstring project... It is said that this is funded by a substantial amount of money from a certain "coal boss"... Truly a foolish yet endearing benefactor.
His primary task upon arriving at Mirror Sea University is to safeguard the Black Fire and ensure the personal safety of the researchers
Who else could it be but him? He is your devoted fan, and knowing that you are teaching at Jinghai University, he is more excited than anyone else... Do you know? In order to get closer to you, he did not go abroad during university but instead took the graduate entrance exam for your father, and now he is your father's right-hand man. He has published numerous significant articles in internationally recognized journals, making him a leading figure in the energy sector. Fu Yuren introduced him with the demeanor of a professional matchmaker.
It seems that mental illness can indeed be contagious
Really not thirsty
"It doesn't matter, women are only responsible for 'uh-huh' and 'hmm', finding topics is something men should do," Fu Yuren comforted. "Sigh, here it comes..."
Fu Yu's mood was quite poor, his expression gloomy as he glared angrily at Ao Ye and said: "Do you even know how old you are? Who do you think you are? A person reeking of foul odor, do you even deserve to know my grandfather?"
"Oh, are you a bookworm or an expert?" Fu Yuren said with a smile.
Yu Xianqi understands how precious her time is; she will not compromise herself to please others
Soon, the call was connected, and an elderly voice came through the receiver: "Xiao Yu, aren't you supposed to report to school today? What made you think of calling your grandfather?"
Once this statement is made, even if one cannot win, one must still fight
rumbling ... ...
Then we are colleagues. Su Dai adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: Please give us more guidance in casual chess.
Yes. You are the first. Is this acceptable? " Fish Xianqi said with a smile. Encountering her childhood best friend and confidante, her mood became much more comfortable. " Why did you run so far? Isn't there a café inside the school? "
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the elderly man said: "That must be after the benefactor, one must get along well with others, find time to invite people to one's home as guests... Ask if their elders are well? When would it be convenient for me to visit?"
What if he has several grandfathers
Fu Yu did not respond
"No way? You just arrived." Fu Yuren exclaimed.
However, the coffee has not yet arrived. Shouldn't you at least finish your coffee before leaving
"Leisurely chess, here." Fu Yuren called out.
Those destined to meet will come together, while those without fate will not recognize each other even when face to face
He realized that he also needed to go out for a major shopping trip
One wonders, if there truly comes a day when humanity can utilize artificial strings to achieve space jumps, would it be possible to reach Dragon King Star after seven space jumps
Gao Sen is a robust man from the Qi-Lu region, standing at a height of 1.92 meters, with a large build. When he walks, he resembles a moving small mountain, exuding a tremendous sense of pressure.
What are the boundaries of knowledge? They are the unknown, the void
"Three cups?" The idle chess player looked at Fu Yuren and said, "Can the two of us drink that much?"
Too much bullying!
Ao Ye forgot to bring a cup and sat at the head of the bed, packing a few pieces of clothing in the suitcase
Others say she is a genius, but she is more aware than anyone else that her ability to reach her current position is primarily due to her diligence, which surpasses that of others, in addition to her intelligence that exceeds that of her peers
If you do not like someone, do not meet them; if you do not enjoy a meal gathering, it is best to leave early
Amidst the gasps of bystanders, the oil tanker rolled over the body of Yu Xianqi
Ao Ye glanced at the dark tea residue in the iron cup, quickly declined, and said: "You drink it, I am not thirsty"
The only regret is that he has a strikingly prominent face
"It has been a long time since we last met, and I don't really know what to say..." Yu Xianqi said with a troubled expression.
Fu Yuren watched the graceful figure of Yu Qiqi as she reached out to pull open the glass door, pursed her lips, and said: "Aren't you going to see her off?"
She wants to make a bold stroke on the blank paper, and she cannot afford to waste a single moment or ounce of effort
Bang bang bang
Lost in thought, Yu Xianqi stands at the edge of the road waiting for the red light
Moreover, it is still a frozen, soulful cola
Knowledge is interconnected. After years of research, there are always some insights and experiences.
Have you been using this cup for many years?
In order to prove that Ao Ye was lying and to publicly confront him, Fu Yu specifically put his phone on speaker mode.
I do indeed know Fu Dewang, said Ao Ye
Gao Sen placed the bedding at the head of the bed, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said: "I took a look at the price, the large barrel is more economical... Don't you all have cups? Take out all the cups."
The entire building is shaking
Indeed. It has been a long time since we last met. Almost two years, right? You didn't return home for the Spring Festival, how heartless of you
"Grandfather, do you know someone named Ao Ye?" Fu Yu coldly glanced at Ao Ye and asked while holding his phone.
You invited me out, and I came. However, I mentioned that I only have half an hour..." Yu Xianqi stood up and said, "I still have work to do
... ...
I hope that day will come," said Yu Xianqi with a smile.
Boom
"Please tidy up the bed," Ye Xin said. "When Gao Sen returns, shall we go out for a meal together at noon? I will treat you."
Ah?" The old man on the opposite side exclaimed, asking urgently, "Who told you? Where is that friend now?"
Fu Yuren remarked with a sharp tongue, "Isn't Old Fish still so stubborn? What if you make a significant breakthrough in artificial strings? Wouldn't that be unprecedented? At that point, you would be the first in the field of modern physics? Old Fish wants to meet you; you should have him schedule a time with your secretary first..."
Therefore, before the task is completed, he must remain low-key and integrate into the group as much as possible, so that no one will suspect his identity
Fu Yuren looked at the fish playing chess and said with a smile, "Even a bookworm wants to join in."
I am indifferent, after all, I drink coffee merely to stay alert... the taste is of no concern to me
"Then I will drink it." Gao Sen poured the bottled water into the large iron cup with a splash, boasting, "I tell you, this cup of mine is quite magical. If you pour boiling water into it, you don't need to add tea leaves; it has a tea flavor all on its own..."
"Good." Ao Ye nodded.
"What? Are you scared?" The expression on Fuyu's face was menacing. "Are you afraid that I will smash your head?"
Ao Ye ... ... '' Fu Yu threw his phone aside and was about to rush over to fight Ao Ye
For this reason, she has not returned for the Spring Festival for two years
Fu Yu has finally returned. After tossing a can of cola to Ye Xin and Gao Sen, he walked over to Ao Ye with another can of cola, his expression somewhat uneasy as he said: "This is for you... Your grandfather saved my grandfather, and our Fu family is not ungrateful. From now on, in this school, I will look out for you. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me."
"I am going to buy a bottle of cola," Feng Yu said, and then he ran out wearing slippers, not daring to meet Ao Ye's gaze again
Upon encountering the grandson of an old friend, Ao Ye felt quite pleased, and his gaze towards Fu Yu became significantly more amiable
I must remind you, this fish is not easy to get into your mouth
Moreover, he also enjoys running
Well, mainly taking care of him myself
In the future, everyone will live under the same roof, allowing for mutual care and support among one another
... ...
The exterior of Yu Xianqi is clear and cold, yet deep down, she possesses pride and resilience. Otherwise, she would not have defied her father, the "academic tyrant," by choosing string theory, which he least favored and even despised, as her lifelong pursuit.
"Did you not hear what he said?" Feng Yu shouted angrily
Fu Yuren waved his hand, and a young man dressed in silver-gray casual pants and a white shirt walked over. The man was tall, with deep-set features, wearing a pair of slightly scholarly black-framed glasses, and approached with a confident and composed smile
"There is no water dispenser in the bedroom, how are you going to drink such a large bottle of water?" Ye Xin said, both amused and exasperated.
"Bring me a bottle," Ye Xin called out to Fu Yu's back, then turned to Ao Ye and said, "He is a person who values his pride and cannot lower his face. I apologize to you on behalf of Fu Yu. Once this matter is over, please do not take it to heart..."
Su Dai, with a slight frown on his brow, asked aloud.
I fear that you may not be able to defeat me
Ye Xin hurriedly jumped down from the upper bunk, stood in the middle to mediate, and said: "Calm down, calm down, everyone is classmates. We will be sleeping in the same room for four years, and we will see each other every day. How can we start off by fighting on the first day we meet?"
"Long time no see." Yu Xianqi nodded.
"I won't take it to heart," Ao Ye said. He would write it in the "Dragon King's Diary" later; he had too many significant matters to worry about each day and was concerned that he might forget such trivial matters as being bullied by others
Leave at a moment's notice, never to linger.
Alright, I will call my grandfather right now... If he says he doesn't know you, let's see how you will argue your way out of this
A white tanker truck ran a red light and charged towards the pedestrian Yu Xianqi, who was walking in the middle of the road
It has been used since my grandfather's generation. This time, my father specifically passed it on to me, urging me to cherish it well. In the future, it will also be passed down to my son
It's stable
