CHAPTER 20: THE BIRTH OF A GENIUS
“Ah …. No … I’m not looking at anything, why did you just
laugh?”
“No, no … I didn’t laugh,
… Are you full? Or you still want to eat?”
“I’m still eating, why not?” Zhang Yang said while standing
up and running towards the hall to fill the bowl with rice. Seeing Du Xue’s
eyes wide open, his face had an unfathomable expression.
“He He, it’s for good health, can’t do anything about it.”
“Don’t you want to try some other dishes?”
“No need for that, you see, I can eat a bowl of rice with
this egg tomato soup.” Zhang Yang said as he poured down a huge amount of egg
soup in his rice bowl. “ It’s been several days since I haven’t eaten … maybe
that’s why this rice tastes delicious.”
“I heard that you are from C City, so why don’t you go to
your home to eat?”
“I’m not native to C City, I only moved to C City few years
ago. My parents go out to work and I am simply too lazy to stay at home so gave
the house for rent to live in school, both economical and convenient.”
“Oh!”
…..
The two were silent again. Zhang Yang was now eating the rice
much slower and kept secretly watching the girl, suddenly, this girl who seemed
merely beautiful at first was now beginning to look more interesting, more
beautiful and pure just like a lotus emerging unstained from the filth.
Zhang Yang could not help but secretly sigh. It’s a pity that
his reputation at school was too spoiled, otherwise this actually was a good
opportunity to pursue her.
“Do you like literature?” Finally Du Xue finished the bowl
of rice and put down the bowl. She couldn’t find any words to talk about.
“Nope, I don’t.” Zhang Yang also put down his bowl, to take
a sip of the tea.
“You don’t like it?” Du Xue was surprised for a moment. “I
thought that you replied with a lot of insight on the poem.”
“There’s no insight. The theory was an awful mess, in fact,
I also like Yue Fei. I was unable to escape at that time so I merely explained
what I understood, I feel really sorry for that old man ….”
“He he ..” Our teacher looked so regretful when you left.
You know what, he said that your thoughts were extra ordinary.
“Really!”
Zhang Yang lacked interest, but when as she mentioned
poetry, he suddenly felt the urge to go to the library to look again for the
math book that he hadn’t yet finished reading.
The two were speaking for a minute and kept silent for the next,
but, none of them talked about leaving, as if an invisible force was making
them stay. Du Xue was just curious about Zhang Yang while Zhang Yang had a kind
of heterosexual attraction for Du Xue. Nevertheless the two didn’t seem to find
a common topic, although Zhang yang had countless literary knowledge inside his
head but he was unable to access them as he was simply not interested in those
matter.
“Xue'er!”
“Xue'er!”
When the two were racking their brains to find a topic of
conversation, a male voice came from the outside.
“Ah …. Lu Fei ,
here!”
Du Xue’s voice lowered, a tall, thin young man pulled open
the curtain of the room. The young man’s face appeared pale, just like the
student from the Chinese department on whose chair Zhang Yang had been sitting.
“Xue, I’ve been looking for you for a long time and you didn’t
even answer the phone.” The young man talked with Du Xue as if Zhang Yang didn’t
exist there in general.
“Oh, ……… I forgot my phone at the dormitory, Fei brother,
this is Zhang Yang, student of fine arts department.” Du Xue stood up and
introduced them.
“Hello, Zhang Yang.” Zhang Yang stood up and stretched out
his hand.
“Zhang Yang, I know, the peeping prince of school, the man
of the hour.” The young man with an
indifferent smile to see Zhang Yang with Du Xue. “I would have accompanied you
if you were hungry. You came with this guy to eat,what? Rice?? “
“Lu Fei …..!” Du Xue was impatient.
“Well, let’s go, you’ve finished eating too, hehe, inviting
a girl to eat in a place like this, huh ?“ The young man glanced at Zhang Yang and
the messy table in despise .
“Lu Fei, I invited him to dinner!” Du Xue with an angry
face, and pinching her clothes with her hand.
“What? Hahahahha ….. You invited him to dinner? Do women
invite men to dinner?” The young man laughed.
“Please, Let me .”
All along, Zhang Yang didn’t speak a word, his eyes glittered
like frost and snow (idiom), and appeared dead. While they were talking, he carefully
took out a few notes from his wallet and put them on the table then stepped
out.
“Lu Fei, you are too much … …”
……………….
As Zhang Yang left the restaurant, he could still hear the
angry voice of Du Xue. Zhang Yang imagined , Du Xue definitely have a red face
with her eyes wide open.
Thinking about Du Xue’s angry look, depressed Zhang Yang
couldn’t help but smile. As for Lu Fei, Zhang Yang didn’t mind at all because
this wasn’t the first time he was insulted by someone, nor the last. Of course,
there’s a huge difference this time. Before, the only people who dared to
insult him were the graduate students and the juniors would never try to insult
him because the whole school knew that Zhang Yang was a close friend of Liu
Biao …
“Lu Fei …”
“Zhang Yang mumbled the name to himself, the name sounded
very familiar but at that moment Zhang Yang couldn’t remember where he saw that
name.
Bothering!
After leaving the restaurant Zhang Yang ran to the guard
room and looked, but did not see uncle Wang. He was intending to ask uncle Wang
on how to pursue a woman and succeed, and now he felt hopeless. Zhang Yang was
in that school for three years but still he couldn’t remember when uncle Wang
joined the duty. It seemed as if he was there 365 days a year, but
occasionally, there was yet another unfamiliar old gatekeeper.
The night had already started. Zhang Yang did not want to go
back to the dormitory to sleep, therefore he decided to go to the library to
read about the fluid mechanics that he was interested in.
At that hour, there were a lot of people in the library,
fortunately, the book ‘the principle of computational fluid mechanics’ was
still there. Zhang yang took the book and sat in a corner and soon after, he
was absorbed into the digital computing world, forgetting all the problems.
Zhang Yang himself did not knew how he was able to absorb
all the knowledge of mathematics just like a sponge, that big explosion seemed
to let him bear the memories of higher IQ, but strictly speaking, it might as
well have developed Zhang Yang’s thoughts
as well as his IQ.
Although he possessed the incomplete memories of abundant knowledge,
still Zhang Yang himself had to take the initiative to learn to be able to
awaken the use of those knowledge. At present, Zhang Yang is able to utilize
the knowledge in only two ways. First, in a dangerous situation, when it give
rise to the burst of the latent potential of human body.
Just like in the train, the latent energy exploded once and
as well as in the classroom of the Chinese department can also be considered as
a potential outburst of latent energy.
Then, the second is Zhang Yang taking the initiative to
learn, for example, because of a book, or a certain thing, the incomplete
memory of knowledge generated a strong interest. Zhang Yang was awakened by
active learning and now, mathematics had become his hobby.
All of a sudden!
When Zhang Yang opened a page, a piece of paper slipped
down. Zhang Yang picked it up and to one’s surprise there was a math
question. A kind of instinct led Zhang Yang to take out a ball-pen and to write
on the surface ….
