01

To love someone is to desire to be by their side, to wish for them to see only you in their eyes. Therefore, one should strive to become a better version of oneself, standing tall and becoming the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them

On this day, both Jiang Hai and I received the admission notice for a full scholarship from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in the United States

Do you know? I smiled at him while folding the admission letters from other schools into paper airplanes. Mark Twain said, the coldest winter is the summer in San Francisco

After the media interview, a publishing house approached me and Jiang Hai to discuss a manuscript, titled "Brilliant." Before Jiang Hai could finish listening, he stood up and bowed to the other party, saying, "I apologize, I have something to attend to and must leave."

Is honor and money not enough?

I will never forget the blue sky, white clouds, gentle breeze of this day, and the pale pink petal that fell on the shoulder of the river and sea beside me

In the United States, it is customary for the "admission letter rain" to begin in March, and both Jiang Hai and I were thoroughly drenched. Subsequently, we each received electronic admission letters from Yale, Harvard, MIT, Cornell, Berkeley, and New York University. I printed them out and posted them on the desk, asking Jiang Hai: "If we collect seven admission letters, can we summon Einstein"

I smiled with confidence and joy: "Because I deserve it."

I propped my chin up and asked with a smile: "So what about us? What can we achieve?"

Then everyone downstairs replied, "Mom, please give birth to me again"

I idly swung my legs, and last month I was measured to be only 155 centimeters tall, undoubtedly making me the shortest girl in the entire high school. However, I do not care at all, because my IQ is higher than that of the tallest girl in the school

Even on the most popular gossip forums online, there are posts asking, "Isn't anyone discussing the pair of geniuses that have recently become famous nationwide?"

I was overwhelmed with joy, laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. The computer teacher asked me with a puzzled expression, "Jiang He, is your stomach uncomfortable?"

I chuckled twice, imitating Jiang Hai's manner to bow to him, then slung my backpack over my shoulder and skipped to catch up with Jiang Hai, who had already walked onto the tree-lined path. The sunlight fell on the tip of my nose; I turned my head and saw the young man beside me frowning, which I guessed was due to yesterday's Fourier transform.

He took it, and we each took a bite of the popsicle. The sound of the pen "shasha" was heard on the draft paper, and I felt completely satisfied

It takes ten years to share a boat, and a hundred years to share a pillow. How many years must they cultivate to achieve this?

After the computer class, I was in a great mood and went to the convenience store to buy a popsicle. Upon returning to my seat, I broke the popsicle in half and tugged at Jiang Hai's sleeve, handing him the longer piece.

Jiang Hai ignored me; he was working on an electromagnetism physics problem. Typically, the dynamic between Jiang Hai and me is that I am the one who talks incessantly. After a while, he finally raised his head, somewhat belatedly, and asked me: "What did you just say?"

My response to him is a big smiley face

Once again, Jiang Hai and I have made a name for ourselves. Media reporters are lined up at the school gate with cameras, eager to interview us, the prodigious young talents who entered high school at the age of thirteen, won the first prize at the International Mathematical Olympiad at fourteen, and were admitted with full scholarships to world-class universities at fifteen with perfect scores on the SAT and TOEFL

The majority of people put in such little effort that it is not even a matter of competing on talent

We will make you shine even brighter than those young stars who have gained fame, causing all the students and parents to worship you fervently

I patiently waited for Jiang Hai to finish a question, and then he turned his head. Before he could speak, I eagerly asked him: "Which school do you attend?"

I quickly closed the webpage, shaking my head innocently. Once everyone shifted their attention, I reopened the closed webpage and commented under the alias "Rivers, Lakes, and Seas": "Perhaps they have repaired a work titled 'Five Thousand Years of History'"

On this day, there are still exactly two months until my sixteenth birthday

With a "thud," the chalk in the teacher's hand fell onto the podium

Someone commented: "We both skipped grades to enter middle school and became desk mates. Two years later, we skipped grades again to enter high school. Together, we participated in a total of eighteen competitions, including four international ones. However, the most noteworthy is that boy, who has a Grade 10 piano certification, is a national level two athlete, and happens to have a face that could easily outshine Jiang Zhishu. Enough said, it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it, so let’s go straight to the photos"

No need, you go ahead and eat

I just turned around and smiled at the teacher, saying: "The magnetic field is directed vertically upward, and the kinetic energy of ball B is equal to the gravitational potential energy of ball A. Therefore, the final answer to this question is, " I paused for three seconds, quickly calculating in my mind, " seconds."

He gave me a smile of praise

I smiled while pulling the mouse down, and finally saw someone posting a reply.

When I received my mother's call, I was in physics class. The second diagnostic exam for my senior year had already passed, and my mother was so excited on the phone that she could hardly articulate her words. The teacher was glaring at me from the podium, and then I blankly hung up the phone, suddenly stood up, turned to Jiang Hai, and said: "I have been accepted"

Everyone only sees the boundless scenery of me and Jiang Hai, but they all overlook that Jiang Hai, due to his obsession with science, was once injured by a chemical reagent he had concocted, and to this day, he still bears a scar on his forehead

I looked for their group photo, and the girl is quite petite and delicate. In this world of geniuses, we aunts can only look up in admiration.

On the day of the visa application, the embassy under the sunlight seemed to be shimmering. The visa officer asked me through the glass window: "Why did you choose Stanford?"

A middle-aged man wearing a watch worth over one hundred thousand yuan stood there awkwardly, casting an expectant gaze towards me. I listened with great interest as they finished speaking, a biographical account that was half pictorial and half literary, narrating the genius of my life alongside the Yangtze River and the sea.

It all sounds like a myth

No, because it is a miracle

At the end of March, the cherry blossoms by the playground bloomed. I was resting my head on the desk and secretly took a nap. The wind made my nose a bit itchy, and I sneezed. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jiang Hai's profile. He was slightly bowing his head, with his eyelids lowered, resembling the most handsome statue in the world

Blessings + 10086

The world is full of talented individuals, wishing the two children all the best in their journey ahead

The entire class was silent as a grave, everyone stared at us in astonishment, and the physics teacher, who had originally aimed his chalk precisely at me, suddenly froze.

"Stanford," he replied softly, "I want to go see the Golden Gate Bridge"

I ate too much, and I will have a stomachache. I replied with a smile.

Such fate, such destiny, is even more melodramatic than a romance novel

He rarely smiled gently and said, "So do I"

Why? Because it is known as the 'Gate of Death'

Even I, whose diligence is far inferior to that of Jiang Hai, must memorize five hundred words every day, even listening to a program called "Sixty Seconds Science" with headphones on while sleeping
