On the other side, in the research room of the Capital University.

Ever since Lin Xiao saw that the question he had sent had finally been solved by someone, he had been absent-minded. Whether it was the course discussion or research, he could not help but think about this matter.

Would that person reply to him? Would the other party be willing to come to the Capital University? Lin Xiao was very uncertain.

Logically speaking, no ambitious and academic-loving young man would reject the invitation of the Capital University. Moreover, he had heard the old professors discuss that as long as that person was willing to appear, they would immediately give him the position of honorary academician. They would keep him first.

Or could it be that this mysterious person was actually the alternate account of a certain big shot in the academic circle? He did not care about fame and fortune at all and purely wanted to tease everyone?

Lin Xiao was about to rack his brains over this matter. He looked forward to the mysterious person’s reply even more anxiously. He was now extremely curious about everything about this person. It took him half a year to answer half of this question. He wondered how this person did it and how long it took him to solve it.

Where did the mysterious person come from? What did he experience? Where did his master come from to have such broad knowledge, strength, and clear thinking?

At the thought of this, Lin Xiao could not help but take out his phone and look at the private message again, looking forward to the mysterious person’s reply. When he looked at it, he really saw a small red dot appear under the system’s default profile picture. It showed that the other party had sent him a message.

Lin Xiao clicked on it happily, but he saw that after a few sincere messages, the other party only replied with a short and cold message: No need.

These two words were light, but they instantly shattered all of Lin Xiao’s beautiful fantasies. Losing the opportunity to get to know a math genius was simply worse than killing him.

After a while, Lin Xiao was finally willing to accept the fact that the other party had rejected him. Perhaps the big shot was so cold and arrogant that he looked down on everything. Lin Xiao could only comfort himself like this.

As for the old professors in the academy who were waiting for the mysterious person to appear and answer their doubts, they could only be disappointed. Lin Xiao sighed.

It was night.

The monthly exam ended. The teachers did not assign homework for the time being. When Shan Chen had time, he sat in front of the high-end computer that Shan Yue had bought for him and excitedly tried to run all kinds of difficult programs.

When Sun Ling came in with a stack of grapes and nuts, she happened to see Shan Chen staring intently at the computer screen. The eye lenses he was wearing were almost touching the screen.

Ever since Shan Yue paid for her food, Sun Ling had become a little more generous. However, most of the money was spent on Shan Chen. As for these slightly more expensive fruit snacks, Shan Yue did not have them.

Putting the washed grapes and nuts aside, Sun Ling wiped her hands with her apron and was a little unhappy. She pulled back Shan Chen’s body, which was leaning forward because he was too focused, and reminded him, “Your eyes are going to break if you lean so close to the computer screen!”

Shan Chen adjusted his glasses. “Sorry, Mom. I didn’t notice until just now.”

Although Shan Chen responded to her, his head did not turn away at all. His attention was still on the computer screen. Sun Ling was even more unhappy and urged, “Eat some nuts. They’re good for your eyes. There’s also grapes. Try them.”

“Okay, I’ll eat later.”

She had never seen her son so obsessed with computers. Sun Ling thought of Shan Yue, that fiend, and her words became angry. “Don’t always look at the computer. You won’t be able to learn anything good from your useless sister. You’re at a critical period of your studies now. I know you’re self-aware and your grades are good, but your final mission is to get into university. When you become successful in the future, you can lead me to a good life…”

Sun Ling swallowed her saliva and started nagging again. “Kids nowadays are addicted to the Internet. My colleague’s son skipped class and played games every day because of his Internet addiction. His grades, which were originally in the top few, fell all the way down and he was finally expelled by the school! When he returned home, he also stared at the computer like you, unable to pull him away. It was as if the computer was his life. Could it be that Shan Yue gave you the computer with this intention…”

Shan Chen really could not stand Sun Ling’s indirect scolding. “Mom, what exactly are you trying to say?”
