Over the next few days, Lu Zhou spent most of his time near Jin Ling University.
He would either visit the old professors he knew or stay in his hotel room to study the Navier – Stokes equation.
After he returned to China, he had a lot of work to do, so he didn't have much time to study mathematics.
And now, he finally had the time to continue to study academic problems.
Other than staying in his hotel room to study mathematics, Lu Zhou would occasionally go back to Jin Ling University's library to find the feeling of being a student.
It was this feeling that allowed him to think about problems from a completely different perspective. This often gave him unexpected inspiration.
A week went by, and soon, it was January 18th.
Two days before the wedding, his roommates from Dorm 201 finally got together again after a year.
It was still the fish restaurant in front of the school.
They ordered a pot of grilled fish, and the four of them placed beer on the table.
While drinking, the four of them started to brag.
"Zhou, I'll give you a toast first." Liu Rui toasted Lu Zhou and said, "A few days ago, I saw you on the news, so I bragged to a girl in the lab that we slept together. At first, she didn't believe me until I took out the photo. This cup is firstly to congratulate you for winning another national award, and secondly to thank you for letting me show off in front of Senior Sister. "
Lu Zhou almost choked on his beer. He coughed and said, "You're welcome. Next time, remember to say it in a less misleading way."
Ever since Liu Rui was admitted to Yan University, his mentality had changed a lot.
In the past, when he saw Lu Zhou appear on the news, even if he didn't turn off the TV, he would be depressed for a while.
But now, he was able to calmly watch the news without any expression on his face.
In the beginning, he didn't understand what Lu Zhou was researching, but now, he didn't even understand what awards Lu Zhou had won. Liu Rui had learned to face the growing gap between them.
Of course, if he was envious …
Of course he was envious!
Lu Zhou: "By the way, who is your supervisor at Yan University?"
Liu Rui thought for a bit and replied, "Academician Wang Yuping. I'm working with him on partial differential equations. "
"Wang Yuping? Academician Wang is also studying partial differential equations? "
Lu Zhou hadn't expected that he would happen to know Liu Rui's mentor.
Liu Rui nodded and said, "Yes, but compared to pure mathematics, his research is more applied. What? You haven't been studying number theory recently. Have you started to study partial differential equations? "
Lu Zhou: "I guess so."
Liu Rui asked with interest, "Oh? What topic? "
Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly. "Let's not talk about this."
Liu Rui waved his hand carelessly. "It's okay. My heart is strong enough now. Just say it."
Lu Zhou: "Navier – Stokes equation."
After a long silence, Liu Rui reluctantly said, "… The existence and smoothness of the Navier – Stokes equation solution?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yeah."
Liu Rui: "…"
MMP!
Millennium Prize Problems.
Why is there such a big difference between us?
Huang Guangming looked at Liu Rui, who was depressed, and he coughed and said, "Let's talk about something more relaxing."
Shi Shang nodded and said, "I agree."
After that, the four of them didn't talk about academics anymore.
After all, the direction of development was different now. Even if they wanted to talk, they couldn't. The more they talked, the more frustrating it would be.
Huang Guangming didn't change much from before. The only thing that changed was that even when he wasn't smiling, he gave off a cheeky vibe.
Liu Rui looked a little tanned, and he looked a lot more sturdy than before. According to him, it was because of basketball. When he was an undergraduate, he never played basketball. He didn't expect to start playing basketball after he went to Yan University.
As for Shi Shang, he changed the most out of the four of them. Perhaps it was because he had been polished by society, but he had transformed from a boy to a man. He looked a lot more mature.
In Huang Guangming's words, he looked like he could be a director with a stubble and sell insurance with a pair of glasses.
Shi Shang couldn't help but feel emotional when he talked about what happened in the past year.
After graduation, life didn't develop according to his expectations. Or rather, it deviated from his plan from the beginning.
Originally, he planned on working to save some money, start a small business, and then buy a house. By then, Wang Yajing would have finished her master's degree, and the two would get married.
However, less than a year after graduation, a life was lost.
The little life in Ya Jing's stomach completely disrupted Shi Shang's original plans.
Not just that, but after working hard in Jinling for almost a year, he wasn't able to save up enough money to open a small shop in Jinling and live his dream life.
However, the good news was that he finally bought a house in the city.
Even though he didn't rely on his own hands, he relied on his parents' support …
"… I don't know what else to say, but as a brother, I just want to say one thing. I've learned my lesson from my mistakes. When you guys get a girlfriend, make sure to take proper safety measures. No matter what, don't kill anyone. "
While drinking, Shi Shang poured out his grievances to his three roommates.
However, Lu Zhou, Huang Guangming, and Liu Rui looked at each other and saw a strange look in each other's eyes.
Finally, Huang Guangming interrupted him.
"Brother Fei."
Shi Shang burped and said, "What?"
Huang Guangming: "Why do I feel like …"
Liu Rui: "… You're bragging."
Lu Zhou didn't say anything. He only nodded his head to show that he agreed.
Shi Shang rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"… Why am I bragging? I'm not Zhou, do I look like the type of person who brags?"
Huang Guangming: "…"
Liu Rui: "…"
Lu Zhou: "???"
The dinner lasted until 8 pm.
They didn't eat much food, but they were full of beer.
Originally, the three of them planned on working together to get Shi Shang drunk. However, unfortunately, they had Liu Rui with them, so they didn't have the chance to do so.
In the end, the first person to drink was still Liu Rui.
Just like before, as he was drinking, he suddenly slumped on the table with a thud, and then there was no more movement.
When they came, Huang Guangming and Liu Rui sat in Shi Shang's car. However, no one could touch the steering wheel now.
Lu Zhou had no choice but to call Wang Peng and ask him to drive Shi Shang back to the Purple Mountain Hotel.
A few days after the wedding, Huang Guangming and Liu Rui stayed there.
Before getting in the car, the drunk Shi Shang patted Lu Zhou's shoulder.
"The day after tomorrow, I'm counting on you!"
Shi Shang: "I'm talking about the best man."
Lu Zhou: "…?"
