Scholar's Advanced Technological System
Chapter 21 - He Turned Out To Be An Honest Man
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Lu Zhou!”
Lu Zhou was walking towards the male dorms when he heard someone shouting his name. He turned and saw Lin Yuxiang jog towards him.
Her fair hands rested on her kneecaps as Lin Yuxiang bent her waist and gasped slightly. She gasped again and asked, “Why are you walking so fast?”
Lu Zhou asked, “What’s up?”
“Nothing’s wrong. I just wanted to thank you for what happened back at Professor Tang’s office. I owe you one,” said Lin Yuxiang with a smile on her face.
“Oh, that’s nothing. Don’t need to thank me,” said Lu Zhou as he shook his head.
“Even though I know I’m very stupid, I’ll work hard and catch up to you! So… thank you for giving me a chance,” said Lin Yuxiang.
Emm…
This isn’t possible.
There’s no way for you to catch up. You can’t even catch up to the tail light.
However, he did not burn this bridge. Lu Zhou still tried to smile, “Well, work hard. I believe you can do it.”
“Really? Thank you for your support!” said Lin Yuxiang. As she kept her hands behind her back, she said happily, “Then… As a way to thank you, can I buy you food?”
Even though the suggestion of food was very tempting, Lu Zhou still rejected it when he thought about the relationship between his other teammate.
“Go and eat with your boyfriend. I won’t be third wheeling you guys.”
Lin Yuxiang heard the words come out of Lu Zhou’s mouth and laughed. She played with her hair as she said, “What are you talking about? I don’t have a boyfriend?”
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and asked, “Isn’t that Wang Xiaodong your boyfriend?”
“What are you talking about?” Lin Yuxiang groaned with dissatisfaction. She looked at Lu Zhou seriously and said, “He’s older than me and I treat him like a brother. It’s not like that.”
What, what, what?
What is this?
Lu Zhou paused for a second before coming back to a realization.
Ah…
This is the so-called thing right…
Lu Zhou laughed and tried to refuse gently, “I’m sorry. I still have some personal stuff to do tonight. Let’s go some other day.”
Lin Yuxiang obviously did not expect the rejection. She was stunned for a second then immediately her face light up with a smile again, “Well! I’ll contact you later then… Oh yeah, give me your WeChat.”
This time Lu Zhou did not reject her and he took out his phone.
After all, she was his teammate. Having her contact details was convenient.
After exchanging WeChat, Lin Yuxiang held her phone as if it was a treasure. She happily thanked him, turned around and walked away briskly.
…
There was a type of girl in the university – pretty, innocent, and their smiles were like your first love. A smile that gave you butterflies in your stomach.
They would make you think that they liked you and would inadvertently start to approach you.
“So good”, “Wow, you’re amazing”, “Ah, if only I was half as smart as you.”
They could recognize their shortcomings and where their shortcomings were. This was obviously an advantage, but they were dissatisfied with themselves.
They were good at using the art of language and their circle of friends to mask themselves into a lonely and weak person. To arouse the attraction of the opposite sex and to manipulate them.
However, when you started to chase her, you would walk a step forward while she would walk a step backward.
So, you would start to reflect on yourself and doubting yourself. You started to gradually lose yourself and you would become a black hole filled with dissatisfaction.
Until one day, you discovered that you were just one of the many prisoners trapped by her…
If you abstract this phenomenon into a social behavioral model, you would find this collective social behavior to be similar to the structure of ants.
All the workers and soldiers were loyal to one queen ant. Only a small number of male ants, that were strong, wing growing “bachelors”, would have a chance to mingle with the queen.
As for that Wang Xiaodong, his role was probably the so-called spare tire?
Through a rational analysis, Lu Zhou felt that he probably understood it now.
As for Lin Yuxiang’s objective, it was very clear to him. She was trying to win a prize in the mathematical modeling competition. Perhaps she saw that Lu Zhou was unhappy with having her as a teammate, so she deliberately approached to manipulate him.
If she could make these two guys fought for her, then that would be even better. She just had to sit back and win the national competition by doing nothing.
He had to admit. This type of girl was the nemesis of a genius.
Those who devoted too much time to study was bound to have difficulty balancing other areas.
Why Lu Zhou did not get baited by her?
That was because he knew better.
He knew that he was honest and slightly handsome at most. He was not rich or tall.
Getting into a relationship with this girl was completely pointless.
…
Lu Zhou went back to his dorm and was about to bring his laptop to the library to continue research thesis topics.
However, just after he stepped his foot into his dorm, Huang Guangming came over and slammed the door.
Kacha—
What?
He even locked it?
Lu Zhou watched Shi Shang and Liu Rui walked towards him with a smirk on their face and he said, “Say whatever you want. Let’s discuss. Other than money problem, we can discuss it!”
Shi Shang laughed and said, “Zhou.”
Liu Rui smiled and followed, “Zhou…”
Lu Zhou, “Can you guys stop being so romantic, I’m getting goosebumps!”
Huang Guangming blocked the dorm door with his body and said with a serious face, “We saw everything. Be honest! Who was the girl downstairs? Which department? When did you start dating? Which stages are you guys at? What are you feeling?”
Lu Zhou: ? ? ?
Shi Shang patted Lu Zhou’s shoulder and sighed, “Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but can you look at it from our loners’ perspective? Brother, I would just ask you for one thing. Go and invite your girlfriend’s roommates. Let’s arrange some activities. I’ll cover the costs. You can decide on the specific activities. I’ll owe you one whether I get a girlfriend or not.”
Lu Zhou sighed. He held the hand that was on his shoulder, “Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you… But that student is my mathematics modeling competition’s teammate. Also, she was brought in by another teammate. It was my first time meeting her today.”
“How is this possible! So you guys have nothing going on?” asked Liu Rui suspiciously.
‘Yeah, you could say so,” nodded Lu Zhou.
The three guys in the dorm suddenly looked like shrimps as they said stuff like, “No fun, let’s go”, “I told you, Zhou is still a loner”, “Let’s just get Shi Shang a girlfriend and make him set up a group date for us”. They sat back down in their chairs and got ready for a video game match.
The exams for mathematical analysis and advanced algebra were completed. Next week was English and C language exams. The dorm already started to get into summer vacation’s mentality and no one wanted to study.
Lu Zhou saw that no one was bothering him anymore and so, he took his computer bag and left.
Yesterday, although he stayed at the library until closing time, other than downloading a lot of documents and reading a lot of books, no progress was made.
But yesterday’s accumulation provided him with a lot of ideas. Today, he was ready to work hard, finished selecting the topics, and to start writing the theses.
This sounded like it would be simple, but actually, it was very difficult.
The mathematics thesis was easy to write, but the other nine computer theses were not his expertise. He had read more than 30 related theses. More than half of them were in English. After downloading them from the library, he stayed up until two o’clock in the morning and he had barely finished reading. He still had very little understanding of the topic.
Even if he learned the C language textbook, he still would not understand the harder topics.
As expected, his study ability was no match with a real genius.
If only the system gave him another studying mission…
Lu Zhou walked towards the library and suddenly remembered.
