Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 442 Triangular Law

Christmas day.

The God of the East reluctantly gave a little favor to Jesus of the West and sent down a small snowfall, turning the colorful capital city white.

It was 7:30 in the morning, just dawn.

Lu You dressed neatly, patted Zhang Zhichuang's bed, and said, "Hemorrhoids! It's time for class, Hemorrhoids!"

After shouting four or five times, there was finally a response from behind the bed curtain.

"What a shitty class! The teacher said, can I skip the self-study class?"

"So you're not going?"

"Go ahead if you want, don't disturb my sleep."

Hearing this, Lu You didn't say much. He turned around and patted Gong Qing's bed.

"Old Gong, are you awake?"

"woke up."

"What do you mean? Go to class with me and Lao Bi?"

Gong Qing opened the bed curtain and replied, "No, I bought a ticket back to Shanghai at ten o'clock. I will pack up and go to the airport later."

Lu You was stunned for a moment and asked, "You're going home now? You're not taking the final exam?"

"Aren't there still two weeks before the final exam? I don't have classes anyway, so I might as well go back home to be with my girlfriend and come back after the exam."

"Of course, if I were your girlfriend, I would love you to death."

After chatting with Gong Qing for a while, Lu You picked up his schoolbag and left the dormitory. He had a simple breakfast in the cafeteria and went straight to the classroom.

After walking along the snow-covered school road and going up a few stairs, Lu You successfully entered the classroom and sat next to Bi Yangde who had arrived earlier.

Bi Yangde shifted his gaze from the book to Lu You and asked, "Are you the only one? Where are Lao Gong and Hemorrhoids?"

Lu You unzipped his schoolbag, took out a thick stack of A4 papers, and replied, "Old Gong Run has gone home to find a date, and he is still lying in bed with hemorrhoids."

Bi Yangde raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Is it okay to go home? No final exams?"

"He said he would fly back when the time comes."

"It's just too much money."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white little hand holding an apple fell in front of Lu You.

"What are you talking about?"

Lu You looked up and met Qin Xiyue's curious eyes.

"We were discussing why Hemorrhoids hasn't confessed to you yet."

Qin Xiyue's face turned red on the spot, just like pyronine meeting RNA, or sodium hydroxide meeting phenolphthalein.

Bi Yangde's heart also jumped, and he exclaimed: "Master, you are too straightforward! Just overturn the table, how can he play with hemorrhoids in the future?"

"How do you play?" Lu You sneered, "You've been drawing the bow and stringing it for several months, but you still don't shoot the arrows. My advice is don't play it."

Qin Xiyue took out another postcard and stood next to the apple, whispering, "Don't say that about Zhichuang. He must have his own reasons for not confessing."

"Did you ever suspect that he was raising fish?"

Qin Xiyue shook her head repeatedly and said firmly: "I believe him."

Bi Yangde almost couldn't hold back his tears.

Why!

Why can girls still be so devoted to a man with such disgusting hemorrhoids, but I don’t!

"Hemorrhoids are good luck." Then, Lu You stopped talking about their relationship and looked at the apple and postcard in front of him, and asked, "Who are these two things for?"

"This is a Christmas gift for Logan. Please help me pass it on."

"Okay, I'll thank you for her."

Since Zhang Zhichuang was not there, Qin Xiyue naturally would not sit with Lu You. She turned around and walked towards the other girls in the class.

Lu You also put the apple and postcard into his schoolbag and waited to give them to Tang Wan when he met her in the afternoon.

"Great God."

"what's up."

When Lu You turned his head, he saw Bi Yangde's weird expression.

Bi Yangde pointed at his face and asked in a depressed mood: "Am I worse than hemorrhoids?"

Lu You carefully looked at Bi Yangde from head to toe and replied, "Objectively speaking, you are more handsome than Hemorrhoids, your family conditions are better than Hemorrhoids, and you are slightly better in study."

"Then why..."

Lu You seemed to see through Bi Yangde's thoughts and asked, "Why does he have a partner but you don't?"

Bi Yangde didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement.

Lu You picked up the pen, took off the pen cap, drew an equilateral triangle on the draft paper, and then wrote the words "study", "socialize", and "game" next to the three corners respectively.

“Human time is limited, just like the sum of the degrees of a triangle, which is only 180°. If the angles of two angles are larger, the angle of the remaining angle must become smaller.

Lao Bi, with your conditions, I don't believe that no girl would like you. But you spend all your time and energy on studying and playing games, and you pay almost no attention to the interpersonal relationships around you.

Me, Hemorrhoids, and Lao Gong, we all lived in the same dormitory, ate and lived together, so we had a pretty good relationship. But if you were a little further away, you would be completely in the dark. For example, do you recognize everyone in the class?"

Bi Yangde curled the corner of his mouth.

It has to be said that Lu You's words hit Bi Yangde's heart directly.

"How did you know?"

"It's very simple." Lu You closed the pen holder and smiled, "Because I don't know them all."

Bi Yangde was completely speechless.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Apart from those who have participated in the training team, I can't even tell if the rest are from the same class or not."

"This... shouldn't be something to be proud of, right?" Bi Yangde hesitated.

"Whether you are proud of it or not is another matter. What I want to say is that the biggest difference between you and hemorrhoids is in socializing. The premise of falling in love is to find a partner, and the partner should be found in your social circle.

Tang Wan and I were high school classmates, Hemorrhoids and Qin Xiyue were teammates in the training team, and Gong Qing and his girlfriend were childhood sweethearts. What about you? Are there any close friends of the opposite sex in your social circle?"

Bi Yangde pondered for a moment and said, "Does homosexuality not count?"

"Whether it counts or not depends on your personal preference."

"Well, it doesn't really count."

Bi Yangde only likes girls who are sweet and soft, and has no interest in guys with developed pectoral muscles.

Lu You continued, "If you really want to find a partner, you have to expand your social circle, spend time and effort to cultivate interpersonal relationships, and show outsiders your personality and characteristics. If you always stay in the dormitory and never go out of the door, no matter how outstanding you are and how famous you are, people will not know who you are!"

Bi Yangde agreed with Lu You's statement. You can only know whether it is a mule or a horse after you have tasted it. No matter how delicious the wine is, it needs people to taste it before it can be passed on to the world.

"What should I do? Participate in more activities organized by the school?"

"This is a way to show yourself, but it's not necessary. It takes too much time to get involved in unfamiliar areas. You can start with the resources you already have, such as your game guild. From what I know, large MMO game guilds generally organize offline exchanges. Am I right?"

Bi Yangde nodded and said, "My guild's president and those administrators are all offline friends. Since I joined the guild, they have organized no less than five member meet-ups."

“How many times have you participated?”

Bi Yangde scratched his hair and said awkwardly: "Not even once."

"They didn't ask you to come?"

"I did, but I didn't want to go." Bi Yangde explained: "I personally think that netizens are just netizens, and it's OK to contact each other online, and always maintain a sense of mystery. Once you meet offline and find that the other person doesn't match the image you imagined, it's easy to be embarrassed."

Lu You understood Bi Yangde's concerns and replied: "My suggestion is that if conditions permit, you might as well go there. First, you can expand your social circle and truly become a member of your guild.

Secondly, didn’t you say that there are many rich men and women in your guild, and even executives of listed companies? Even if you are not looking for a partner, it is a precious network resource. Grasping it will be of great benefit to your future. "

"That makes sense, but does working in pure mathematics also require connections?" Bi Yangde asked again.

"Why not?" Lu You asked back, "Your future professional title will also be evaluated by people, and people have connections. Besides, are you 100% sure that you will do pure mathematics research in the future? Can you guarantee that you will not touch mathematical applications at all?"

Bi Yangde remained silent, obviously unable to do so.

What is the future? The future is uncertain. The idea that you are firm and unshakable at the moment may be shaken in two days.

What's more, pure mathematics and applied mathematics are not completely independent. You are in me and I am in you.

Abstracting real-life problems and finding general solutions, and then using the general solutions to solve the same type of problems, the combination of the two is complete mathematics.

"I understand. I will sign up for the next guild member meeting."

"That's right!" Lu You patted Bi Yangde on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Boldly step out of your comfort zone and explore a wider world! It's nothing to stay in your own small circle and entertain yourself at such a young age!"

……

at noon.

The fourth period bell rang.

Lu You let out a long sigh and twisted his stiff neck left and right.

It's rare to have continuous free study time, it's really enjoyable, and I feel like my head is filled with knowledge.

Bi Yangde packed his schoolbag first, stood up and said, "Master, do you want to have lunch?"

Lu You glanced at Bi Yangde and said calmly, “Eat, but not with you.”

"Okay, pretend I didn't ask."

After Bi Yangde left, Lu You took a short rest. When most people in the classroom had left, he quickly cleaned up the table and left with his schoolbag.

As soon as I went out and turned right, my arms were filled with something fragrant and soft.

From the familiar smell and the red hair in his sight, it was not difficult for Lu You to tell that the object he collided with was Tang Wan.

So, Lu You unceremoniously put his arm around Tang Wan's waist and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Didn't you say there were no classes in the morning?"

Tang Wan pushed the loose hair on her forehead to the sides of her cheeks, smiled, and said, "I came all the way to pick you up after class. Aren't you very touched?"

"Yeah." Lu You pinched Tang Wan's red nose and said, "I'm so moved that my eyes are filled with tears."

"Your eyes aren't even red, and they're full of tears!" Tang Wan pouted disdainfully, then stepped out of Lu You's arms, took his hand, and said, "Come on, sister will take you to eat Huainan beef soup!"

"your treat?"

"Hmm~"
