Chapter 221 What do we mean by this?
“Divide houses?”
Jiang Huanxi looked at Xu Qingshan with a blank expression. She understood every word Xu Qingshan said, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand them.
"right."
Xu Qingshan smiled.
"Do you still remember the hypothesis I asked you to study with me when we were on Ludao?"
"Weak twin prime conjecture? I have almost learned analytic number theory now!"
Jiang Huanxi's eyes lit up, she knew this.
"Well, I have proved this general form of the twin prime conjecture, and it should be published in the "Annual Review of Mathematics" in a while. The teachers at the School of Mathematics are helping me apply for a house to facilitate my research."
Xu Qingshan explained the situation lightly.
Jiang Huanxi's brain shut down.
"Weak twin prime conjecture, proved?"
"Yes, and the k value has been reached to 3. I originally wanted to leave some backdoor research and practice for you, but I didn't expect the old guys in the "Annals of Mathematics" to dig so finely. I guess there is no more digging in this field, unless Complete proof of the twin prime conjecture.”
Xu Qingshan did not hide it and stated his plan.
Jiang Huanxi wrinkled her nose.
Although her brain was still processing the extremely impactful information that Xu Qingshan had solved the general form of the problem of the century, when she heard that Xu Qingshan wanted to leave a backdoor for herself, even if she was a little ostrich, her pride still came out.
"I don't want any backdoor. I will try my best to catch up with you."
Jiang Huanxi said subconsciously.
But after saying that, her eyes were a little dim.
It's easy to say this.
It was very difficult to do it. Even though she did love academic research, she felt that she was too far away from Xu Qingshan in terms of talent.
Only after being in this field and studying analytic number theory, Jiang Huanxi could more deeply appreciate the huge information and gold content represented by Xu Qingshan's proof of the weak twin prime conjecture.
"Why do you want to catch up with me?"
Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Aren't we always together?"
"hold head high?"
"This is just a conjecture. I'm just waiting for you to finish studying number theory and come with me to complete the proof."
Xu Qingshan looked at the dazed little ostrich in front of him and explained.
"I was able to explain the proof this time because of the guidance and inspiration of Teacher Wang Yuan. I approached Teacher Wang Yuan hoping that he could sign it with me, but Teacher Wang refused."
"As you know, mathematics is a subject that relies on inspiration and luck. The two of us combined will always be better than me alone. Don't you plan to do academic work with me in the future?"
Jiang Huanxi quickly sorted out what Xu Qingshan meant, and his eyes became clear.
"I just don't want to hold you back."
Although he still meant that, Jiang Huanxi was not so depressed now.
"Then stay with me more and we will study hard together. You are no worse than me."
"Let's go. When you're done eating, I'll take you back to your dormitory."
Xu Qingshan put the plate in the recycling bin, thanked the cleaning lady who was on the last shift, and then took three big bags to send Jiang Huanxi to the student dormitory.
There were quite a few people on the way from the cafeteria to the student dormitory.
It's just that the lights in the school are not very bright at night, and the light is yellowish.
The two of them were on the side of the road, keeping to the right.
Xu Qingshan was carrying three bags in his left hand and his right hand was empty. He was also walking on the asphalt road, which was lower than the sidewalk at his feet.
Jiang Huanxi put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and looked at the blind bricks on the sidewalk, watching the unevenness spread forward.
Street lights are like trees, standing beside the road with their roots straight.
The light lengthened, shortened, and then lengthened the figures of the two people.
However, the sides of Xu Qingshan's shoes were getting closer and closer to the road ridge, and Jiang Huanxi's toes were gradually moving towards the ridge. Her hands were also lowered from behind, dangling by her side.
"You have to choose classes on the 10th, right?"
Xu Qingshan asked proactively.
"Um?"
Before Jiang Huanxi could answer, she felt her little hand being wrapped in warmth. The generous palm and slender fingers made her ears look ambiguous under the warm yellow light.
And that finger was still digging into the gaps between his own fingers.
Jiang Huanxi said nothing or struggled, letting others manipulate him.
Feeling Xu Qingshan's skillful insertion and interlocking of fingers, Jiang Huanxi felt strange emotions inexplicably.
Has he ever held hands like this with anyone before, so skillfully.
Is it Jingyi?
Or was it what I saw that day?
And
What is our relationship now?
A good friend?
Do good friends hold hands?
Obviously Jiang Huanxi's hand was held by Xu Qingshan, and Jiang Huanxi felt that she should like Xu Qingshan, but there were so many messy and disordered thoughts in her heart for no reason, interfering with Jiang Huanxi's thoughts, which made her emotional again. Somewhat depressed.
Xu Qingshan felt that Jiang Huanxi's hand was a little stiff, but he did not break away, but he still paid attention to Jiang Huanxi's situation.
Not quite right.
Jiang Huanxi himself also realized that something was wrong with him.
Everything seems to be going well between him and Xu Qingshan.
But exactly.
Their identities are no longer bound by high school students, and their parents are not around. Under this intimate act that transcends the identity of friends, the emotional issues that she had originally ignored began to unfold in her heart little by little. .
And these problems are not the essence.
Although Jiang Huanxi likes to avoid problems and bury her head in front of them, she is still the smart girl who has realized the most authentic problem.
Does he really like me?
It seems
Xu Qingshan seems to have never said the words "I like you" to himself, nor has he ever said "I like Jiang Huanxi" to anyone.
He just keeps being nice to himself.
The more Jiang Huanxi thought about it, the paler his face turned. She has never been in love, so she can only rely on her meager understanding of love to think about their relationship.
If the two are lovers, their relationship seems too thin.
There is no such interaction as good morning and good night, and there is no sharing on the phone every day. Every time we meet is because of various things, and no one is a pure date.
Even the two people's alone time tonight, if you really want to talk about the essence, is actually just a favor between friends.
No name and no distinction.
This is a problem Jiang Huanxi is aware of.
But if the two are friends, what are they doing now?
It seems that there is less and less sense of boundary between myself and him.
Think of this.
Jiang Huanxi subconsciously loosened his fingers, trying to pull his little hand out of Xu Qingshan's.
Xu Qingshan has also noticed Jiang Huanxi's strangeness.
He was prepared.
When Jiang Huanxi was about to pull away, Xu Qingshan held her tightly, making it impossible for her to escape.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qingshan stopped and turned to look at Jiang Huanxi. He never let go of Jiang Huanxi's hand, which forced Jiang Huanxi to face Xu Qingshan head-on.
This is the time she least wants to face.
"It's nothing, just get here. It's not far from the dormitory. I can just go back by myself."
Jiang Huanxi lowered his head and whispered.
Xu Qingshan frowned and put the bag aside. One hand always held Jiang Huanxi's hand firmly, and the other hand stretched out to hold Jiang Huanxi's face.
It was beyond Xu Qingshan’s expectation.
Jiang Huanxi's face was frighteningly white at this time, and there was still a glint in his eyes. It looked like he was scared to tears by something terrible.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Qingshan looked concerned.
"Still, did you encounter something? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Huanxi didn't know why she felt sad even though she was being held by the hand, and why she thought about all the things when she got close to the person she liked.
She felt that her sudden thoughts seemed unfair to Xu Qingshan, but if she wronged herself, it seemed unfair to herself.
For the sake of important people, she can do many things to herself.
The only thing she didn't want was feelings.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Jiang Huanxi couldn't see clearly what Xu Qingshan looked like in front of her. She quickly recalled the memory fragments of her and Xu Qingshan's relationship.
She didn't speak, like a little stuffy jar.
Xu Qingshan didn't say anything when he saw Jiang Huanxi. He just stood there in a daze and felt sad. He was also uncomfortable.
But Jiang Huanxi didn't know what the problem was unless he said it.
The two of them looked like a couple who had an argument on campus and were about to break up under the streetlight.
Xu Qingshan would not doubt Jiang Huanxi's feelings for him.
What he was afraid of was that Jiang Huanxi would not tell him if he had been wronged.
"Did something happen in the dormitory?"
"If you encounter anything, just tell me and I'll go find the school to deal with it. If it doesn't work, the school will give you a house to live in."
"Still miss your parents?"
"It's okay, Huanxi. The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day will be here soon. I will accompany you back then."
Xu Qingshan comforted Jiang Huanxi softly.
He noticed that Jiang Huanxi seemed to be a little repelled by close contact with him at this time, and moved his face to try to leave his hand. He simply let go, but reached out to gently hold Jiang Huanxi's shoulder.
"Is there anything you must tell me?"
Xu Qingshan rarely treats people like this.
Jiang Huanxi listened to Xu Qingshan's rambling words. Normally they would sound very reliable and warm, but at this time Jiang Huanxi felt more and more aggrieved from the bottom of her heart. Although she didn't know that Xu Qingshan was so kind to her, what did she have? Aggrieved.
But the more gentle Xu Qingshan is, the more Jiang Huanxi will think about some complicated things.
She felt that she was completely manipulated by her emotions.
This feeling is very unlike Jiang Huanxi.
"I"
Unable to bear the grievance deep in his heart, Jiang Huanxi spoke slowly.
But as soon as I finished speaking, the tears I had been holding began to flow out uncontrollably.
The little girl is pretty, but it makes me pity her even more when she cries.
Xu Qingshan felt distressed and wanted to reach out to hug the girl into his arms to comfort her. Just as he was about to make a move, the little ostrich, who always liked to escape rather than resist, suddenly broke away.
I saw that the usually easy-going and weak girl was holding her head up stubbornly, looking at him with an aggrieved face, and asked in a trembling voice.
"What do we mean by this?"
"Have you ever"
Jiang Huanxi originally wanted to ask if he liked it, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and replaced them with another set of words.
"Did you hold Jingyi's hand like this before?"
"Are you just thinking of me?"
Jiang Huanxi's words were stuck.
Xu Qingshan was surprised when he heard Jiang Huanxi's question.
He never thought that the little girl was thinking this, but when he heard the question in the middle, Xu Qingshan instantly understood what the problem was.
He acted too skillfully and proactively, which attracted the heart of this smart girl.
This question should have been asked by everyone when they started talking about the second term, right? The same goes for extended questions. For example, why are you so proficient in a certain movement?
