DYP 103

Chapter 103 – When Naming The Gold List

 

The reason why students are particularly innocent is because they only have studying in their lives. They spent more than ten years studying hard, all for the final word. After the hammer really hits, life comes to an end. The next journey has not yet begun, but most people already fall into crazy indulgence – such as the large group of graduates from the Huo family.

 

Everyone got together and played cards on the first day.

 

The next day, they played cards.

 

On the third day, they played cards still.

 

…

 

On the fourteenth day, Luo Xingyun woke up drunk and said to Pei Yan sincerely: “We can’t go on like this anymore. This is too depraved.”

 

Huo Siming opened the door and came in: “I found a mahjong machine in the attic. Are you going to come play mahjong?”

 

Luo Xingyun: “I’ll go!”

 

On the fourteenth day, they played mahjong.

 

On the fifteenth day, they played mahjong.

 

On the sixteenth day, they were still playing mahjong.

 

…

 

Day 24, at the mahjong table.

 

Huo Siming ate chicken popcorn and happily said, “So this is what it’s like to grow up.”

 

Li Yu: “After I finished the exam, my mother never came to scold me again. It’s really cool.”

 

Zhang Liang: “I haven’t done my homework for almost a month. Yesterday the courier boy asked me to sign for a package. I have forgotten how to hold a pen and how to write my name.”

 

Luo Xingyun knocked down a 90,000 yuan question: “Hey, what university are you going to go to?”

 

Huo Siming: “I want to study law.”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Oh, why didn’t I see that you have this kind of interest? Lan Lan is more like a lawyer than you.”

 

Huo Siming: “You don’t know that the legal consultant hired by my father’s company costs 200,000 yuan a year for a job. If something happens, he has to pay additional fees.”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Ah, the feeling of disobedience disappeared all of a sudden. It’s so small—Old Qi, what about you?”

 

Qi Yu was sitting on the sofa behind him. He was the only one not participating in any entertainment activities. He had a laptop on his knees and typed quickly: “Whatever, I can go anywhere. The website editor has just sent me a contract. I Signed~”

 

He has always wanted to be an online writer, but his family didn’t agree. Finally, when he graduated and became an adult, he could sign a contract on his own. Now he is working at full capacity and is working at 10,000 per day. For him, the difference between where he got in the exam and which dormitory he squatted in to code and update was the same.

 

Luo Xingyun sighed: “Awesome, I actually met a living writer. What is your pen name?”

 

“I won’t tell you~” Qi Yu winked at Pei Yan, “Thank you class monitor for the golden alliance!~”

 

Pei Yan held the card elegantly: “You’re welcome.”

 

Luo Maomao looked up to the sky and roared: “Why did you tell him but not me!”

 

Qi Yu: “Because the monitor is a real reader. And you are just a curious science man who is excited because there are writers around him.”

 

Luo Xingyun shrugged: “Zhang Liang, earn some face for us science students and tell us your dream.”

 

Zhang Liang: “I plan to study sociology.”

 

Everyone was confused: “Why?”

 

Zhang Liang: “I want to systematically study this social issue.”

 

Luo Xingyun found it very disturbing: “Gan! One is a law student, one is a sociologist, and one is a writer. It means that our science class does not have anyone to take science and engineering majors. You are all traitors from the liberal arts class next door!”

 

“The scores haven’t come down yet.” Shen Shuyi interrupted, “But it seems that we can check the scores tomorrow.”

 

Huo Siming: “To be precise, it was early this morning.”

 

Everyone suddenly became nervous: the good days are over.

 

In this sudden solemnity, Pei Yan’s cell phone rang.

 

He picked up and listened to a few words and said politely: “Thank you, teacher, but I have to accompany my boyfriend to Q University next door.”

 

He hung up and continued playing cards.

 

Shen Shuyi noticed a subtle hint of showing off: “Who is it?”

 

Pei Yan: “Teacher from Yan University Admissions Office.”

 

Both poker tables were shocked: “Recruitment has already started? Haven’t the scores not come down yet?”

 

Pei Yan said tactfully: “The competition for the top ten basically started in the first two days.”

 

“Fuck!”

 

“The monitor is awesome!”

 

“666!!!”

 

Luo Xingyun stretched out his long legs nervously and kicked his chair: “What’s your score? What’s your rank?”

 

Pei Yan blinked at him: “You know me.”

 

As soon as he said this, Luo Xingyun understood that the top pick in City S was probably not running away: “…Why did you hang up that call so fast just now? You didn’t ask me for help.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

 

Luo Xingyun glanced at the caller ID and saw that it didn’t start with 86, but an international number. He thought it was a scam, so he answered the call suspiciously: “Hello?”

 

“Is this classmate Luo Xingyun?” came the voice of a middle-aged man on the other side.

 

“Yes, I am, who are you?”

 

“I’m Lu Li, hello.”

 

Luo Xingyun groaned, as if he didn’t know any logic.

 

The other person quickly introduced himself: “I am a professor at the MIT School of Science. I mainly do research on the nervous system.

 

Luo Xingyun slapped his thigh and reacted: “Lu Li! Which Lu Li?!”

 

The person on the other side laughed: “Yes.”

 

Luo Xingyun stood up and ran three laps to calm down his breathing, “A great guy! This is it!” How disrespectful to answer the phone without bathing and burning incense!

 

Lu Li heard the excessive excitement on his side and said with a smile: “I saw your paper published in “Cell”, with your mailing address written on it, and wanted to give you a call. Which university are you in now? Where are you studying?”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Uh… I just finished the college entrance examination. I still have to check which university I want to go to.”

 

“Then are you interested in coming to study for a Ph.D. with me?”

 

Luo Xingyun: “…?”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Master, I just graduated from high school and have never received an undergraduate degree.”

 

“It doesn’t matter. If you come here to study, you will be admitted directly to the bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and Ph.D., and you will start working in my group in your freshman year.”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Thank you, thank you! But I plan to study physics.”

 

Lu Li: “…?”

 

Luo Xingyun remembered that MIT has one of the top physics departments in the world: “Master, could you ask Professor Qian Dongwei from the physics department next door to your school of science if he needs a coolie?”

 

The person on the other side was shocked by his saucy move, but surprisingly did not refuse: “Well, have you published any papers in this area?”

 

“…No. But I have a mathematics paper titled “Relating Polynomial Complexity to the Expansion of Polynomial Proof Time Complexity”, which passed the final review.”

 

“Have you proved that p=np?” The person on the other end of the phone was suddenly startled.

 

“No, no! I am moving towards the non-equal proof!” Luo Xingyun first made his position clear, “The proof has not been proved, but I used a new group structure during the argument…”

 

He roughly described Pei Qun’s concept.

 

“Okay, I’ll go back and have a look.” The other person on the phone responded with difficulty, and then asked reluctantly, “Are you really not planning to continue studying life sciences? You have made achievements in this field at a young age. Why are you giving up? It’s a pity.”

 

Luo Xingyun knows what he wants: “I have always wanted to study physics.”

 

“Okay.” Lu Li said regretfully, “Then I’ll ask Lao Qian for you.”

 

Luo Xingyun kept talking during the call, so he acted fairly calmly, but after the call ended, he was confused: a great god who only existed in legends called him and invited him to study abroad?

 

Amazing!

 

Before he could recover, his phone rang again, another overseas call: “Hello, is this classmate Xiao Luo?”

 

“Yes, may I ask who you are…”

 

“Hello, hello, I’m Chu Yi.”

 

After passing Lu Li, Luo Xingyun was already a young man who dared to think: “omg don’t tell me you are that Chu Yi…”

 

“Hahahaha…have you heard of me?”

 

“Of course!” Luo Xingyun went crazy, “Who in any biochemical laboratory doesn’t know about your membrane protein research?!”

 

“Thank you, thank you~ Now this sentence can also be applied to you. Student Xiao Luo, are you interested in studying at Princeton?”

 

After Luo Xingyun finished the two phone calls, people at the two card tables pulled him and asked, “Did the Admissions Office of Yan University also call you?”

 

“No…” Luo Xingyun was confused, “It’s Princeton and MIT.”

 

Huo Siming: “Fuck!”

 

Zhang Liang raised his head and chest proudly: “We won.”

 

Shen Shuyi couldn’t help him anymore, Brother Pei: “It’s true that they won.”

 

“Today Jishi announced the Rockwell agent project, and you, as the inventor, went viral on Weibo.” Qi Yu announced, holding the computer.

 

Luo Xingyun muttered “No wonder” and walked over with his slippers on: “Give me, give me!”

 

“I advise you not to read it, the comments are not that harmonious.” Qi Yu just flipped through and saw a lot of questions, questioning Luo Xingyun’s age, questioning Luo Xingyun’s origins, how could a high school student invent potions? There must be a family background behind this kind of research results. He even saw someone starting to pick up Luo Xingyun’s identity information.

 

Pei Yan came over and covered his eyes: “As long as the academic community recognizes you, it is impossible for these big names who came to invite you to know from Weibo. They are all here for your paper. They extended an olive branch, what are your plans?”

 

The two originally planned to go to Q University together, but Pei Yan thought that he might have to make new plans now.

 

Luo Xingyun said straightforwardly: “No. Do you still remember that we hugged each other in the laboratory and cried that we would no longer be students in this life?”

 

Pei Yan was amused by him. His little omega was determined as if he would not fall into the trap again even if the Nobel Prize was awarded to him: “This is a rare opportunity. You think biochemistry is tiring. Aren’t physics and mathematics tiring?”

 

“It is tiring, but love and responsibility are different! I’d better be a pure science student.” Luo Xingyun turned off his phone, completely rejecting invitations from prestigious schools in various languages, and sat back to continue playing cards.

 

Within half an hour of fighting, Pei Yan received an order from his father, ordering him to take Luo Xingyun home quickly. His tone was urgent. Pei Yan packed up their things and arrived within half an hour.

 

Pei Fengtong first called Luo Xingyun into the study. When Luo Xingyun walked in, he found that Tong Xiaonian was also there. She smiled so hard that her face froze and she was still crying. Luo Xingyun couldn’t help but become happy too.

 

Pei Fengtong was still as serious as ever: “Today Ji held a press conference to announce that Rockwell’s agent has entered the clinical stage. This has triggered some controversy about you. Don’t take these arguments to heart. The public currently knows nothing about you. If you know it, there will be certain prejudice against your age and origin. This is a natural phenomenon. The Ji family, including us, will take care of it.”

 

Luo Xingyun nodded: “Okay.”

 

“Uncle has a public relations plan and wants to ask for your opinion. Because someone on the Internet has found out about your father and attacked you and your brother crazily. We are going to tell the truth about the whole thing. Speak out, including the role you played in it and what you did, and make a cut between you. Of course, this is your family matter, and it also involves some matters, and it is still based on your wishes. “

 

“This is not a disgraceful thing, and there is nothing bad to say. My experience can also serve as a reference for other people in the same situation.” Luo Xingyun said calmly.

 

“That’s the best thing you can think of.”

 

After Pei Fengtong explained the matter of public opinion to him in private, he asked him to call Pei Yan in together.

 

Seeing the two teenagers sitting side by side on the sofa, Tong Xiaonian, who had always been extremely excited, announced excitedly: “Pei Yan took the test with 732 this time and is the top scorer in science in City S. As for Xiao Luo, we heard from the admissions office teacher who came just now that he scored 691 points and entered the top 100 in the city, which is very, very amazing!”

 

Luo Xingyun beamed with joy and was happy for a few seconds before he suddenly realized: “Then if I didn’t get the first rank in the national examination, but got the second rank in the national exam, and added 50 points from the college entrance examination, wouldn’t I have scored 741 in the end and be able to pass the college entrance examination as rank 1?”

 

Pei Yan saw his annoyed expression, put his arms around him, and let him lean on his shoulder: “Don’t cry, give your alpha some face.”

 

Tong Xiaonian said happily: “Teachers from the admissions office of Yan University and Q University came over just now. They were arguing in front of the door and couldn’t pull each other away. It’s great to be your mother!”

 

Pei Yan laughed: “We have decided to go to Q University.”

 

“Things are not as simple as you think.” Pei Fengtong cleared his throat, “At Yan University, not only did the admissions office teacher come, but Academician Gu Yun also came. The old man is over eighty years old, and he previously served as the dean of several colleges. Your math teacher came here today. According to him, Xiao Luo has a talent for math, and the School of Mathematics at Yanda is the top in the country. I hope he can go there to do pure mathematics. There is no need to worry about the scholarship or future work arrangements. ——This is the condition offered by Yanda.”

 

“Where’s the person at University Q? Can you guess the person who came with the Admissions Office?”

 

Luo Xingyun raised his ears: “Who?”

 

Pei Fengtong smiled and said, “Qian Dongwei.”

 

Pei Yan didn’t know much about the domestic academic community, but he also knew that this Chinese physicist was a popular candidate for the Nobel Prize. Luo Xingyun next to him covered his mouth in disbelief and whimpered like a kitten.

 

“Although Qian Dongwei works at MIT, he is an honorary professor at Q University. He just returned to China to give a lecture this time. He is very satisfied with your physical performance and several papers, but he can’t do it. Be clear about your future development direction, and you want to try your luck here to see if you are willing to develop in the direction of physics.”

 

“I’m willing to follow him! I’m willing to follow him!” Luo Xingyun cried with excitement, like a successful little fan, “He discovered the properties of Z particles! I always thought he should win the Nobel Prize !”

 

He cried with joy and buried himself in Pei Yan’s arms, and everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

 

After he finished digesting the happy news that “the boss I like also likes me very much”, Pei Fengtong explained to them the plan proposed by Q University: “They welcome you to study in the Department of Physics at Q University; they also fully agree with you and Professor Qian. You can go to MIT to further your studies, or we can even help you apply for a place to study abroad on a government-sponsored basis. It’s up to you. But there is a prerequisite for all of this, which is also the condition between me and your Aunt Tong, that is, you must return to China after completing your studies.”

 

In recent years, the country has suffered a serious loss of high-end talents. 84% of the top talents trained by top universities go overseas, so universities will launch a series of policies to retain talents.

 

From Pei Fengtong’s perspective, Luo Xingyun cannot stay overseas for a long time, whether it is for the sake of the country or for his family.

 

“The scientific research environment in China is getting better step by step; with our family’s conditions, you can engage in academic work without worrying about complicated matters.”

 

“I understand.” Luo Xingyun solemnly promised, “I will come back after graduating from Professor Qian.”

 

Pei Fengtong nodded with satisfaction.

 

After arranging Luo Xingyun’s way out, Pei Yan was next. Tong Xiaonian told him happily: “Both sides said that after Xiao Luo passes, you can choose any major.”

 

Pei Yan, the most unfavorable student in history, smiled politely and said, “I could have chosen any major. But now it looks like I have to drop out of school and study abroad.”

 

Luo Xingyun pulled him nervously and said, “You are the second author of both papers. Someone will definitely want your derivative work!”

 

“I’m not rational.” Pei Yan shook his head calmly. “Unlike you, I decided not to touch physics and chemistry in my life after translating two papers.”

 

“Then you won’t study?”

 

Pei Yan took him into his arms and said softly: “We can rent a small villa there and buy a second-hand car. I get up every day to cook for you, send you to school, and then go to Harvard opposite to listen to lectures. I am quite interested in their Buddhist research.”

 

Tong Xiaonian and Luo Xingyun: “You want to become a monk?!”

 

Pei Yan: “…This is a branch under religion, anthropology and history.”

 

The two omegas in the family looked at him with the same eyes as Gautama Siddhartha. Only Pei Fengtong solemnly praised: “Very good. We alphas have to find inner peace, and put a volume of the Diamond Sutra by our bedside, recite it every day and night, reflect inwardly, and cultivate your mind.”

 

Tong Xiaonian and Luo Xingyun looked at each other. They science students didn’t understand these alpha literary youths very well.

 

Although he didn’t understand, it didn’t stop Luo Xingyun from understanding the huge sacrifices Pei Yan had made, and he couldn’t help but say sourly: “For those who don’t want a degree, don’t have to go abroad. I could go to Q University for physics, and you could go to Yanda for Chinese.”

 

“Who said I won’t have a degree after I go abroad?” Pei Yan scratched his nose, “I will apply to Harvard next year. By the time you graduate, I will have a double major in philosophy and sociology.”

 

Luo Xingyun sniffed and held back his tears: Pei Yan may be late, but he will never be absent.

 

Pei Fengtong and Tong Xiaonian have nothing to worry about Pei Yan’s studies. It would be nice for him to have a gap year, but right now they are more concerned about another issue.

 

The two of them looked at each other, cleared their throats, and sat down at the table dignifiedly: “Have you ever considered getting married?”

 

Luo Xingyun and Pei Yan: “…?”

 

Tong Xiaonian: “We hope you will get married before going abroad.”

 

Pei Fengtong nodded: “This way your physical condition will be more stable, and it will be more logical for you to go out and start your own business.”

 

This wave of marriage proposals came so quickly that Luo Xingyun suddenly blushed and looked at Pei Yan in panic.

 

Pei Yan’s eyes were bright: “There aren’t many days left before we go abroad… Which day is it specific?”

 

Pei Fengtong took the old almanac on paper and counted it with his fingers: “Both the 8th and the 17th are acceptable, but the 8th is more closely related to your birth date.”

 

Pei Yan came closer and shook Luo Xingyun’s hand: “Is it okay?”

 

“Okay.” Luo Xingyun said softly.

 

“Why did you agree so quickly?” Pei Yan took his hand and kissed him, murmuring in a low voice, “I haven’t proposed yet, so you are letting me pass so easily?”

 

Luo Xingyun glanced at him secretly and whispered, “How can I tell them apart?”
