miss each other

In mid-May, Beiyuan University held the preliminary competition of Yau Shing-Tung Mathematics Contest as one of the test centers. Apart from Xu Wangchuan and Jiang Nanxu who were specially trained by the school, many students also participated in the preliminary competition.

In the end, after screening, only seven or eight people were left in the Academy of Sciences, and Xu Wangchuan, who was expected by Professor Zhang, lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first place in this written test, and was a strong finalist for the national finals. Of course, there was Jiang Nanxu.

Before participating in the finals, they have to conduct a defense, and after the national finals, there will be an international finals. At that time, they will compete with competitors from various countries and communicate face-to-face with the world's top mathematics experts.

Professor Zhang's goal for this competition is to win three gold medals in the competition. The competition is divided into two types: individual and team. In addition to the four gold medals named after famous domestic mathematicians, there is also the highest level of individual all-around award That is, the Qiu Chengtong Gold Award and the Team Award.

Xu Wangchuan has outstanding abilities in analysis and differential equations, algebra, and combinatorial number theory. He is very likely to win the corresponding Hua Luogeng Award and Zhou Weiliang Award. No matter how lucky he is, it is not an exaggeration to win the Individual All-around Award.

Jiang Nanxu is more talented in geometry and topology, and won the Chern Award without accident.

As students trained by Professor Zhang, the two of them are undoubtedly Beiyuan's sharpest blade and the deepest hidden trump card. This time, Beiyuan University can wash away the shame of zero gold medals before and shake the glory of Beiyuan's Department of Mathematics. Xu Wangchuan And Jiang Nanxu are indispensable.

As the night approached the school playground, Jiang Nanxu put one hand in his pocket and put his arm around Xu Wangchuan's shoulders, and the two walked side by side on the campus road.

"That's right, Wang Chuan, you scored five points higher than me in the written test." Jiang Nanxu looked up at the darkening sky in the distance, and said with emotion and thoughtfulness.

On the eve of the defense, Professor Zhang called the two of them to have a detailed conversation, so Jiang Nanxu also knew that Xu Wangchuan's previous written test was five points higher than hers.

She thought that there was only a gap of one or two points between the first and second place. After all, she only made one multiple-choice question wrong and deducted a little step point. She never thought it would exceed so much.

"luck."

Xu Wangchuan let her lead her to walk forward, with her hands in her trouser pockets, her brows were cold, her black pupils radiated by the rays of the sun were shining brightly, and she could see dazzling starlight.

Professor Zhang told her that if she can win the individual all-round award in this competition, she has a high probability of being favored by Mr. William, the judge of this year's Qiu competition. Through contact with Beiyuan University, she will go to the American Institute of Technology for further study as an exchange student in her sophomore year. , and Mr. William will directly serve as her mentor.

The American Institute of Technology is one of the top universities in the world, and Mr. William is not only a professor of its mathematics department, but also the founder of PL, a world-class investment bank. His students are all over the world's top consortiums, engaged in securities and financial services.

The reason why Xu Wangchuan didn't choose the finance department at the beginning was because she couldn't get into the best finance major in China with her scores, so she chose the best mathematics department.

The Department of Mathematics is divided into two areas, Applied Mathematics and Information and Computing Science. Students of Applied Mathematics generally become mathematics teachers, while students of Information and Computing Science mostly work in the financial securities and IT software industries.

Xu Wangchuan did not study pure mathematics. She studied information and computing science. Her original goal was to study at the American Institute of Technology, and then enter the top PL investment bank. Mr. William has always been her idol.

It's just that this match gave her a new opportunity to advance everything.

She had never thought of going abroad so early, firstly because of Grandma Xu, and secondly because of the girl in her heart.

It's just that later she was eager to grow up, and she also temporarily saved enough money for Grandma Xu's medical treatment. She wanted to break out of her own world in a place where the real elites gathered.

She is no longer a little eagle waiting to be fed by the eagle's side. Now she has full wings, and it is time to soar and spread her wings.

"It really hits people..."

Looking at her tough face, Jiang Nanxu smiled wryly, Xu Wangchuan always had a kind of tenacity that made people sigh.

"No, you are much better than me in other aspects." Xu Wangchuan shook his head and said sincerely.

In terms of mathematics alone, she admits that she is slightly better than Jiang Nanxu, but in terms of interpersonal communication, she is far inferior to him, otherwise she would have been blacked out so badly in that scolding battle.

Thinking of that time, Xu Wangchuan's clear eyes flashed with slight discomfort, she pursed her lips, and her expression became much deeper.

Before I knew it, it had been more than a month, and my life without her was quiet and ordinary, but it did give her a long-lost sense of stability, except occasionally when the night was quiet, the atrium would throb uncontrollably, with an inexplicable feeling sour emotions.

But when she is really busy and can't take care of herself, she will have no time to think about other things. She can only temporarily ignore these emotions if she keeps herself busy.

If you can get used to it in a month, then the next year, two, or three years... won't be too difficult, she thought.

Now they will meet occasionally, sometimes at the corner of the dormitory, the cafeteria hall, and the corridor of the laboratory building...

But without exception, one of them was the first to lower his head and walk away quickly with sideways eyes.

So strange that it seems that they have never met each other.

"Hahaha, the prize is over."

Jiang Nanxu patted her on the shoulder pretending to be old-fashioned, his face blushed rarely, he was a little embarrassed, Xu Wangchuan actually praised her.

"Let's go back quickly, otherwise Cheng Cheng is still waiting for us to eat."

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Nanxu glanced at her phone, and Cheng Cheng sent her a message, and she ordered a lot of takeaways to celebrate their successful entry into the finals.

"cheers!"

The 422 dormitory where there are only three people is brightly lit, and there are several cans of beer and some skewered snacks on the large common table.

Jiang Nanxu pulled Xu Wangchuan to sit on one side, and Cheng Cheng sat on the other side, the three of them rarely got together.

The defense is the day after tomorrow, and there is no class tomorrow, so I don't worry about drinking.

"Wangchuan, what are your plans for the future?"

Jiang Nanxu took a big gulp from the wine bottle, and ate the lamb kidney she had been talking about for a long time with one hand.

Thinking of the incident when Professor Zhang asked Xu Wangchuan to go abroad, she couldn't help but ask again.

If Xu Wangchuan went abroad, no one in the Department of Mathematics would compete with her for the first place, but without Xu Wangchuan, a good friend, she would still be sad, even more sad than not being the first.

When Jiang Nanxu asked, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but also looked at Xu Wangchuan, why didn't she hear about going abroad.

If Xu Wangchuan goes abroad, how should Shen Nianyi deal with herself? She has been in a bad state for a long time recently, and every time she talks to her, she hesitates to speak. She feels that she really wants to ask about Xu Wangchuan, but because of other factors He didn't say anything, and his behavior and words and deeds were a lot of promises.

She has seen the scandal posts about Xu Wangchuan and Shen Nianyi more or less, and she probably knows a little bit about it, no one can tell whether it is true or not.

But there is no doubt that Xu Wangchuan and Shen Nianyi did have a relationship at one time, which cannot be denied, and it is also doomed that these two people cannot continue to get along as they used to.

She felt that Shen Nianyi couldn't forget it, especially with Xu Wangchuan's character. Even though Shen Nianyi took the initiative at the beginning, Xu Wangchuan still acquiesced and even agreed to this relationship. It's not that simple.

So she wanted to know what Xu Wangchuan was thinking now.

Whether it is impulsive or deliberate, going abroad is no child's play.

"There is a high probability that he will go abroad."

Xu Wangchuan lowered his head and took a sip of beer before answering Jiang Nanxu.

"I really want to go abroad." Jiang Nanxu was still shocked.

"Ah."

She has already figured it out, now is the best opportunity, she has already hated the current life, and in her bones, what she yearns for has always been a life of striving to realize her self-worth.

Instead of exhausting everything in poverty, it's better to give it a go. With money, she can give Grandma Xu better treatment and life, and she can pursue what she wants like a normal person.

In the first twenty years of her life, she experienced too much pain and suffering from life, so since God gave her a chance, she will definitely hold her destiny tightly in her own hands.

She is still young, and she greedily wants to fight.

She is really poor.

"Nan Xu, thank you."

This should be the first time Xu Wangchuan took the initiative to use such a tone with Jiang Nanxu in the real sense.

If it wasn't for Jiang Nanxu's insistence on pulling her in, she might not have such a strong idea of ​​going abroad now.

"You're welcome hahaha." Jiang Nanxu touched the back of his head with a red face and laughed dryly.

"Then what about your grandma?"

Cheng Cheng pointed out the key point in one word, she must be partial to Shen Nianyi in her heart, so she doesn't really want Xu Wangchuan to go abroad like this.

"I will take my grandma for treatment during the summer vacation, and I have an uncle at home who will help take care of it. It is enough for me to send living expenses regularly."

Now she just collected the money for grandma's coronary intervention, and the follow-up treatment and expenses still need a steady stream of money.

During this period, she only gave herself three years.
