This wasn't the first time Lu Zhou had given a speech on stage.
However, this was the first time he stood at his best friend's wedding and gave a speech as the best man.
Lu Zhou looked at the microphone in his hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was a single man who hadn't even had a girlfriend before, what kind of speech could he give?
The people on stage didn't say a word, but the people in the audience gradually began to whisper.
Qian Hua looked at Lu Zhou, who was standing motionless on stage. She then looked at her best friend in a wedding dress. Qian Hua, who was standing in the bridesmaids' group, was a little anxious. She whispered, "Is he stuck?"
Xiao Yunyun smiled and teased her.
"He's a great scientist, that's called brewing feelings. What do you know?"
Qian Hua said, "Psh, so what if he's a great mathematician? If he understands mathematics, does that mean he understands life?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Deng Le, who was wearing round-rimmed glasses, looked at Xiao Yunyun and said, "Yunyun, if he really can't do it, can you go up and save the day?"
According to the procedure, after the best man's group finished speaking, it was time for the best friend's group to go up.
If Professor Lu really wasn't good at this kind of occasion, with the ability of a professional wedding host, it shouldn't be difficult to save the day.
As long as Xiao Yunyun's speech was beautiful and warm up the atmosphere, it would be fine.
Xiao Yunyun nodded and said, "I'm fine, I've already prepared …"
Halfway through her sentence, when the host was about to save the day, Lu Zhou, who was standing on stage, finally spoke.
"From the beginning of the universe to the disappearance of the last black hole, as we know, the probability of the birth of life is only one in a trillion …"
The wedding venue quieted down.
The young people stopped talking and laughing, the old people stopped eating melon seeds, and the children stopped playing …
Regardless of whether or not they were paying attention to the speech on stage, everyone's eyes were on Lu Zhou.
Not because his voice was attractive, but because they were curious about what this Princeton professor was going to say.
Lu Zhou looked around at the guests at the wedding venue and gradually regained his composure.
It was as if he was back in his Princeton classroom. He spoke in a monotonous and meticulous tone.
"Just as we know, the probability of two lives meeting each other is less than one in a trillion squared …"
He wasn't sure if the guests present could see the same scene as him.
He wasn't sure if they would be confused by this inexplicable number.
He had never said anything sensational before.
It had never happened before.
Not now, not even in the future.
He only wished to send his blessing to his dear friend on this solemn occasion in his own way.
"From the perspective of probability, the greatest miracle in the universe is not the collapse of stars, the formation of planets, or the annihilation of black holes …"
"Instead, it is the moment when two lives meet, look into each other's eyes, and fall in love."
"Maybe it's because mathematics is too interesting, I rarely have an interest in anything other than mathematics. If I do, it's probably physics, chemistry, or myself … But even if I don't fully understand the meaning of love, I can feel that you two really love each other."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and looked at the groom. He then looked at the bride and spoke.
"Therefore, I also sincerely hope that you can love each other as much as I love mathematics. Always cherish … the greatest miracle in the universe."
The wedding venue was filled with applause.
The decibel level of the applause was beyond Lu Zhou's expectations.
He had never thought that the words he came up with on the spur of the moment would resonate with the hearts of the guests.
However, he was surprised to find that it wasn't just the guests that resonated with him, but also the groom standing on the stage in a suit.
The indomitable man was so moved that his voice was almost choked.
"Zhou …"
Is it a bit inappropriate to suddenly mention food on an occasion like this?
However, this was obviously not the place to complain.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. He then returned the microphone to the emcee.
Then, he walked off the stage …
On the other side of the wedding venue, Xiao Yunyun looked at Lu Zhou walking down the stage. She stopped clapping and said, "Oh, no wonder he's a great mathematician … He's really good at talking."
She always heard people say that mathematicians were masters at picking up girls.
Regardless of whether she believed it or not, she now somewhat believed it.
Deng Le also said emotionally, "Yeah yeah … I thought he was the more introverted type. I was a little worried that there would be awkward silence. I didn't expect him to be able to handle this kind of situation."
As if to prove that her judgment was right, Xiao Yunyun proudly glanced at Qian Hua next to her.
"What do you think? Um … Qian Hua? "
Qian Hua, who was in a daze, instantly snapped back to reality.
"Ah … What's wrong?"
Xiao Yunyun and Deng Le looked at each other with a strange expression and exchanged glances.
I feel like …
This girl's expression …
Something's wrong?
After Lu Zhou delivered a wedding congratulatory speech, there were also the representatives of the bridesmaids, as well as the relatives of the bride and groom congratulating them …
The wedding continued, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.
Under the witness of everyone, the groom put on the ring for the bride.
From now on, there would be one less couple in this world, and one more newlyweds …
…
The wedding came to an end.
Most of the relatives and friends who came to the wedding were full, and they began to leave the venue one after another.
Lu Zhou went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he was stopped by an unexpected person.
Lu Zhou looked at the short-haired girl standing in front of him and asked, "What do you want?"
"No." Qian Hua shook her head. She lowered her head and said, "I just … want to say sorry to you. In the past, I said some things about you that were very outrageous. "
Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"It's fine, I didn't take it to heart."
This was three years ago. If she didn't take the initiative to bring it up, he wouldn't even remember this episode.
After all, everyone had times when they were overwhelmed by emotions.
What's more, she didn't do anything to her idol other than flirting with him.
If he was the kind of person who would haggle over trivial things, he wouldn't have such a good relationship with Liu Rui.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to go back."
Seeing that Lu Zhou was about to leave, Qian Hua quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, wait a second."
Lu Zhou stopped and cast a questioning look at her.
"Is there anything else?"
"When it's over … Can I buy you a drink?" Qian Hua blushed and said, "As an apology."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Another day, I'm taking the high-speed train in the afternoon."
Qian Hua: …?
Other than celebrating Chinese New Year, Lu Zhou only had two things to do when he returned to China.
One was the Science and Technology Awards Conference, and the other was to attend Shi Fei's wedding.
Now that Shi Fei's wedding was over, he had to reunite with his family and enjoy the Chinese New Year holiday.
