"...Do you plan to return to Jinling University to teach?"
And the professor’s words…
It’s been seven months…
As if expecting him to ask this question, Lu Zhou smiled.
To be honest, sometimes this guy's novel brain circuit is quite enviable.
Seeing Qin Yue staring at the air conditioner, Hadi nodded thoughtfully: "I also think it may be because it's too hot... How about I turn down the air conditioner?"
"I can teach you how to think about problems and how to solve problems, but the ability to think independently must be exercised by yourself. It is no exaggeration to say that with your current abilities, in this You can become a unique scholar in any mathematics institute in the world. But if you keep following me, you will never get further development."
Qin Yue didn't know if the professor knew this.
After being slightly stunned, Qin Yue looked at Lu Zhou with a puzzled face: "...Why?"
Even if I wait until the next life, I'm afraid there will be no results...
And with Vera's character, if the professor doesn't take the initiative, there probably won't be any progress in her life.
"Of course, the door of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study is open to you at any time... but I don't recommend that you do this."
I saw the office door opened, and a familiar figure was standing there.
"I think what Hardy said makes sense. It's really hot out here... Uh, why don't you say anything?" Looking at the pair of people staring directly at him, Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly and said. , "Or should I say hello first?"
Even Hardy, who was walking towards the air conditioner, froze halfway.
"I'll go back with you."
Although he wanted to comfort her from his senior brother's point of view, he didn't know what to comfort her.
With her eyes wide open in surprise, Vera looked at the door in disbelief, as if the moment the figure appeared, her sapphire eyes glowed again.
Summer is really a season that makes people easily sleepy.
The cold feeling slightly cooled down her brain, which was about to burst into steam. However, as the sense of clarity gradually took over, she finally regained some energy, but she couldn't help but feel depressed again.
Just lie down for a little while...
"It's up to you to think about how to take the future."
Although it is common for Princeton researchers to be away from home all year round, it is inevitable to miss them after not coming back for so long.
As if he expected Lu Zhou to say this, the expression on Qin Yue's face did not change.
Feeling her cheeks were slightly hot, Vera turned sideways and rested her face on the desk.
He originally thought about many things to say while on the road, but when he heard Qin Yue ask this question, Lu Zhou didn't know how to speak, so he simply nodded.
Stopping writing at his desk, Qin Yue's eyes drifted to the air conditioner in the corner of the room.
"Whether you stay at Princeton in the future, go back to your alma mater to start a university, or go to YSU to develop your career, it will be far better than going to me."
It’s been half a year.
Recalling the last meeting seven months ago, the ball at the Golden Hall in Stockholm, it’s like it happened yesterday...
Although this is also one of the important tasks of a teaching assistant, and having things like email will not delay work, the feeling of communicating through the air is still different from the feeling of communicating in person.
But if you think about it carefully, even if you know it, this kind of thing is really not easy to deal with.
Anyway, the work at hand is done.
With a small sigh, Vera turned over and put the other side of her face on the desk.
Lu Zhou: "That's right. I do plan to resign."
No matter how much he used his imagination, he really couldn't imagine that the man who spent all his time delving into those difficult problems would be interested in things other than research.
Having said this, Lu Zhou smiled and continued.
Jericho and Wei Wen, who were sitting not far from the door, exchanged glances, looked at Lu Zhou who appeared at the door in disbelief, and whispered, "We thought you were planning to resign."
At this moment, a gust of hot wind suddenly drifted from the direction of the door.
In the past seven months, she had basically taught Lu Zhou's number theory classes for him.
Qin Yue was silent for a while and then asked: "Can I go to your research institute after I graduate?"
The silence lasted about a minute.
"Um."
Whether it is acceptance or rejection, it must be based on the premise of one of the people speaking.
Her fair chin was buried between her arms, staring at the empty seat, Vera lying on the table with a listless expression on her face.
The moment they saw that familiar face, everyone in the office was stunned.
Vera, who came back to her senses, didn't think much and said hurriedly: "Me too -"
Hearing the sigh, Qin Yue and Hadi, who were sitting not far away, looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
As I was thinking about it, I don't know what came to mind, but suddenly two red clouds appeared on the fair cheeks.
The one who finally broke it was Qin Yue who spoke first.
She has been like this for the past six months.
Lu Zhou's eyes stayed on the faces of Vera, Qin Yue and Hadi for a moment, and then continued.
In fact, anyone with a little glance can see that her feelings for Lu Zhou are far more than just gratitude or gratitude, but have reached beyond that, even to the level of admiration.
"professor?!"
Hardy stood up suddenly and walked towards the air conditioner remote control.
Responding to Vera's gaze, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "Well, long time no see."
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, an office located in a secluded corner of the corridor.
The moment these words were spoken, the office fell silent.
Qin Yue sighed: "... No need, it's better if you don't do anything."
"What's more, I don't teach you these things so that you can work for me, but I hope you can spread them to further places for me."
Interrupting the two students, Lu Zhou said with a smile: "There is no need. Although I have not been here at Princeton for the past six months, I can see your abilities. Judging from the results you have achieved so far, "You have undoubtedly reached the standards expected of a Princeton doctoral student. I have no reason for you to continue to stay in this office... You should have your own office and project."
"One of the main purposes of my coming back this time is to deal with your graduation matters."
