CHAPTER 20: THE BIRTH OF A GENIUS

“Ah …. No … I’m not looking at anything, why did you justlaugh?”

“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 standingup and running towards the hall to fill the bowl with rice. Seeing Du Xue’seyes 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 withthis egg tomato soup.” Zhang Yang said as he poured down a huge amount of eggsoup in his rice bowl. “ It’s been several days since I haven’t eaten … maybethat’s why this rice tastes delicious.”

“I heard that you are from C City, so why don’t you go toyour home to eat?”

“I’m not native to C City, I only moved to C City few yearsago. My parents go out to work and I am simply too lazy to stay at home so gavethe house for rent to live in school, both economical and convenient.”

“Oh!”

…..

The two were silent again. Zhang Yang was now eating the ricemuch slower and kept secretly watching the girl, suddenly, this girl who seemedmerely beautiful at first was now beginning to look more interesting, morebeautiful and pure just like a lotus emerging unstained from the filth.

Zhang Yang could not help but secretly sigh. It’s a pity thathis reputation at school was too spoiled, otherwise this actually was a goodopportunity to pursue her.

“Do you like literature?” Finally Du Xue finished the bowlof 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 takea sip of the tea.

“You don’t like it?” Du Xue was surprised for a moment. “Ithought 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 explainedwhat 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 mentionedpoetry, he suddenly felt the urge to go to the library to look again for themath 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 makingthem stay. Du Xue was just curious about Zhang Yang while Zhang Yang had a kindof heteros.e.xual attraction for Du Xue. Nevertheless the two didn’t seem to finda common topic, although Zhang yang had countless literary knowledge inside hishead but he was unable to access them as he was simply not interested in thosematter.

“Xue"er!”

When the two were racking their brains to find a topic ofconversation, a male voice came from the outside.

“Ah …. Brother Fei ,here!”

Du Xue’s voice lowered, a tall, thin young man pulled openthe curtain of the room. The young man’s face appeared pale, just like thestudent 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’teven answer the phone.” The young man talked with Du Xue as if Zhang Yang didn’texist 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 andintroduced them.

“h.e.l.lo, Zhang Yang.” Zhang Yang stood up and stretched outhis hand.

“Zhang Yang, I know, the peeping prince of school, the manof the hour.” The young man with anindifferent smile to see Zhang Yang with Du Xue. “I would have accompanied youif you were hungry. You came with this guy to eat,what? Rice?? “

“Brother Fei …..!” Du Xue was impatient.

“Well, let’s go, you’ve finished eating too, hehe, invitinga girl to eat in a place like this, huh ?“ The young man glanced at Zhang Yang andthe messy table in despise .

“Brother Fei, I invited him to dinner!” Du Xue with an angryface, and pinching her clothes with her hand.

“What? Hahahahha ….. You invited him to dinner? Do womeninvite men to dinner?” The young man laughed.

“Please, Let me .”

All along, Zhang Yang didn’t speak a word, his eyes glitteredlike frost and snow (idiom), and appeared dead. While they were talking, he carefullytook out a few notes from his wallet and put them on the table then steppedout.

“Lu Fei, you are too much … …”

……………….

As Zhang Yang left the restaurant, he could still hear theangry voice of Du Xue. Zhang Yang imagined , Du Xue definitely have a red facewith her eyes wide open.

Thinking about Du Xue’s angry look, depressed Zhang Yangcouldn’t help but smile. As for Lu Fei, Zhang Yang didn’t mind at all becausethis 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 toinsult him were the graduate students and the juniors would never try to insulthim because the whole school knew that Zhang Yang was a close friend of LiuBiao …

“Lu Fei …”

“Zhang Yang mumbled the name to himself, the name soundedvery familiar but at that moment Zhang Yang couldn’t remember where he saw thatname.

Bothering!

After leaving the restaurant Zhang Yang ran to the guardroom and looked, but did not see uncle w.a.n.g. He was intending to ask uncle w.a.n.gon how to pursue a woman and succeed, and now he felt hopeless. Zhang Yang wasin that school for three years but still he couldn’t remember when uncle w.a.n.gjoined the duty. It seemed as if he was there 365 days a year, butoccasionally, there was yet another unfamiliar old gatekeeper.

The night had already started. Zhang Yang did not want to goback to the dormitory to sleep, therefore he decided to go to the library toread 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’ wasstill there. Zhang yang took the book and sat in a corner and soon after, hewas absorbed into the digital computing world, forgetting all the problems.

Zhang Yang himself did not knew how he was able to absorball the knowledge of mathematics just like a sponge, that big explosion seemedto let him bear the memories of higher IQ, but strictly speaking, it might aswell have developed Zhang Yang’s thoughtsas 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 toawaken the use of those knowledge. At present, Zhang Yang is able to utilizethe knowledge in only two ways. First, in a dangerous situation, when it giverise to the burst of the latent potential of human body.

Just like in the train, the latent energy exploded once andas well as in the cla.s.sroom of the Chinese department can also be considered asa potential outburst of latent energy.

Then, the second is Zhang Yang taking the initiative tolearn, for example, because of a book, or a certain thing, the incompletememory of knowledge generated a strong interest. Zhang Yang was awakened byactive learning and now, mathematics had become his hobby.

All of a sudden!

When Zhang Yang opened a page, a piece of paper slippeddown. Zhang Yang picked it up and to one’s surprise there was an unsolved mathproblem. A kind of instinct led Zhang Yang to take out a ball-pen and to writeon the surface ….
