The crackling keyboard sound stopped for a moment.
The scene is as if static.
The invigilator came down from the stage and walked to Jiang Fuyue's seat, "Why did you hand in the paper? Is it a machine failure?" As he said that, he was about to reach out to check.
"No problem, I'm done." Jiang Fuyue said lightly.
The rest of the candidates quickly exchanged glances—
she crazy? !
Thought this was a class assignment
No need to check
Speed without quality is useless.
Don't worry, she will do hers, I will do mine, don't panic when things happen!
Do you want to take out your phone and take a picture
Get out!
It's okay to take pictures. Let's commemorate this man of God who handed in the paper more than four hours in advance.
…
Lin Yuan, who was sitting obliquely in front, had a vague premonition that Jiang Fuyue would be the one to hand in the paper as early as the moment the mechanical sound sounded.
really…
She couldn't help but clenched her fingers.
But in the next second, he let go again, and continued to bow his head and type on the keyboard.
A string of codes flowed from her fingertips, and the girl's nervous expression was gradually replaced by calmness.
The eyebrows and eyes are peaceful, and the side face is magnanimous.
She thought, so what if Jiang Fuyue handed in the test early
This is not the NOI rematch, but the real IOI rehearsal field. Not to mention other things, the difficulty of the questions alone is incomparable with the previous ones.
Just because Jiang Fuyue got full marks in the domestic selection doesn't mean she can do well in the international competition.
God will not always favor the same person, she should also taste the feeling of falling.
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.
After Jiang Fuyue handed in the test paper, she left quietly under the arrangement of the invigilator.
But the act of "leaving the field" itself is not low-key, the more evasive, the more deliberate.
In the third and a half hours of the exam, the papers were filled with numerous leaves.
Huang Hui and Gao Zhaoming looked at each other: yes, then let's hand it in too.
Immediately, the seat behind Lin Yuan was vacant, and the wind passed by without any shelter, and the back of her neck was cool.
At that time, Jiang Fuyue had already returned to Q University, sitting in the brightly lit library, with an open laptop in front of her, and the page was stuck on an unfinished thesis.
I saw her handwriting, first-hand materials, and scattered A4 papers around, on which formulas were densely written, and some drew pictures.
Jiang Fuyue was sorting out the ideas of the thesis, and no surprises, Shen Qiannan's side will be completed tomorrow, and these remaining experimental blanks will be completely filled.
She curled her lips in satisfaction.
…
It is night, the moon is bright and clear, and everything is silent.
Xie's old house, study on the second floor.
Xie Dingyuan sorted out today's experimental data and uploaded it to the encrypted cloud, then exited the analysis software and recorded documents, and then closed the computer.
He took off his glasses, leaned back on the back of the chair, gently massaged his temples, and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, a phone call came in.
He touched the phone and swiped lightly with his fingertips: "Hello..."
"Your voice is wrong, are you still working?"
It's Shen Qiannan.
"Just finished. What's up?"
"Can't you call and ask if there's nothing wrong?"
"This point? Are you sure?"
"..." Of course Shen Qiannan was not sure.
For this reason, he struggled all night, and finally dialed Xie Dingyuan's cell phone.
At that moment, he hoped that the other party would not answer the call, just like the previous few times, it is best to turn off the phone.
It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.
Xie Dingyuan not only accepted it, but also answered it very quickly.
"Cough... You said that it's been almost half a month since you returned to the capital, and you didn't even treat me to a meal in the school cafeteria. Are you embarrassed?"
"I'm going back to the imperial capital, shouldn't you invite me to eat?"
Shen Qiannan: "..."
Xie Dingyuan opened his eyes suddenly, and the light was projected in his dark pupils, reflecting a faint light: "If you have something to say, just say it."
There was an awkward smile on the other end: "I heard that you have been soaking in the laboratory recently?"
"Well. Two papers are rushing to produce data."
"When will it run out?"
Xie Dingyuan raised his eyebrows, calmly: "Why, are you interested?"
"No... I'll ask for help."
He pondered for a moment: "It will take about twenty days, two experimental cycles."
"so long?"
Xie Dingyuan didn't answer.
Shen Qiannan could only bite the bullet and finish the one-man show: "Actually, I mainly want to discuss something with you today."
"Well, what's the matter?" The voice was light, without distinguishing between emotions and anger.
"I have a... uh! friend," Shen Qiannan originally wanted to say "primary school girl", but when he thought of Xie Dingyuan's weird and picky stink, he quickly changed his words, and continued: "She wants to use the laboratory, can you see if you can use it?" Accommodating?"
Xie Dingyuan didn't answer.
Shen Qiannan felt that there was something interesting, and he said with more force: "She is alone, without a team, and it only takes five days at most, and her research direction focuses on physics, which does not conflict with the biochemical equipment you are using now. Even if there is a conflict, she will Willing to make concessions and meet your experimental needs first."
There was still no response from the other end, but they never took the initiative to end the call.
According to his understanding of Xie Dingyuan, if this matter really cannot be discussed, he would have hung up the phone long ago, so he would have no time to listen to his beeping.
"There are three doors in the laboratory. You can only give her the key to the door on the left. There is a wall in the middle. Even if they are shared, it will be difficult to meet each other. You just treat her as air, how about it?"
Xie Dingyuan put his left hand on his thigh and tapped his fingers rhythmically.
It seems like the proposal is really being considered.
Over the phone, Shen Qiannan was not sure about his attitude, so after finishing what he had to say, he could only wait quietly, waiting for a reply.
I don't know how long it took before Xie Dingyuan said: "That person has a deep friendship with you?"
"Okay."
He must not say that he was tricked by a little girl, otherwise, Xie Dingyuan would laugh at him for a whole year.
"For your sake, it's not impossible to borrow it..."
Shen Qiannan was not too happy, he knew it would not be that simple.
really-
"But I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Does Lin Weiwei know each other?"
Shen Qiannan was stunned, surprised that Xie Dingyuan could utter such a feminine name.
It's been a long time.
"Lin Weiwei? Who is it? Why is it so familiar..."
"A postdoctoral fellow at the School of Materials Science and Technology next door."
"I remembered! MIT's direct Ph.D. was snapped up by several surrounding universities as soon as I returned to China. Last year, I joined the postdoctoral mobile station of the School of Materials Science and Technology. Those kids in the academy are worshiped as goddesses."
"No... why did you mention her suddenly?"
Xie Dingyuan's eyelids twitched, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he was unable to speak for a long while.
"Old Xie? Are you still listening? This guy won't fall asleep..."
"This Lin Weiwei, you help me deal with it, and I promise to lend the laboratory to your friend."
"Deal with Lin Weiwei? What is this? Why do you have to deal with Lin Weiwei? Do you know her?"
A postdoctoral fellow of the School of Materials and a non-staff who doesn't belong to the Q University's lab who only wants to prostitute for nothing, who come back every half a year, are completely at odds with each other!
"Why didn't you know that you still have friendship with Lin Weiwei?"
Xie Dingyuan's eyelids twitched even more fiercely: "... I have no friendship, I just met."
"Then what do you need to do with her?"
The key point is that Xie Dingyuan is not a person who is willing to do superficial work.
Who does he need to deal with
Shen Qiannan was at a loss.
The other side finally couldn't bear it anymore, and gritted their teeth: "The family arranged for me to go on a blind date with her."
"?"
"I'm not suitable for marriage. I told her very clearly when we first met, but this girl..."
Xie Dingyuan didn't know how to describe it, it seemed that he couldn't express the real meaning if he said it lightly, and it seemed that it would not be good for the girl's reputation if he said it too seriously.
"In short, you should come forward and help persuade her not to insist, there will be no result."
There was a dead silence for two seconds, and suddenly there was a sound: "Grass—"
Xie Dingyuan: "?"
"You're on a blind date?! My god, you're actually on a blind date? You even met Lin Weiwei once?! Wait, let me see if the sun is coming out from the west today!"
"..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that it's night now. That's fine, old Xie, behind my back, we went on a blind date without saying a word. You even said you were brothers, and you clearly agreed to be dogs together, but you actually want to secretly end your dog life ?”
Xie Dingyuan: "..."
"Okay, isn't it just Lin Weiwei? I agree, don't worry! With me here, you will always be a dog. How can you leave halfway?"
"... Strictly abide by the laboratory system and standardize the use of experimental materials. I am not allowed to appear when I am here. After I leave, I am not allowed to tamper with my experimental equipment. If I borrow it, I must say hello in advance. If the above can be done, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you Come get the key from me."
