Genius Club.

Chapter 282 Whose Father, Whose Daughter (Part )
"...so mysterious." Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh.

"But don't worry, Senior Lin Xian."

Chu Anqing smiled and patted his chest and promised:
"If I really have this ability to travel through time, I will definitely tell you the first time! And I promise to find your childhood self and tell you all the lottery numbers! I will make you richer than my dad!"

"Thank you in advance."

Lin Xian opened the electric door of the Alpha commercial vehicle for Chu Anqing and asked her to get in first:

“Remind me to buy Bitcoin.”

"Oh, that won't work!" Chu Anqing waved her hand with a serious face:

"That's illegal!"

……

Lin Xian's special car took Chu Anqing to Tunghai University.

Chu Anqing got out of the car and waved to Lin Xian:

"Bye, Senior Lin Xian, please drive slowly and be safe!"

"Well, you should have a good rest."

Lin Xian also waved to Chu Anqing, rolled up the car window, and drove away from the campus.

Chu Anqing watched the Alpha business car disappear around the corner of the dormitory building, and recalled what Senior Lin Xian had just said to her:

"Teacher Zhang Yang's general education course... I've already taken classes for this semester last semester, so I can only grab classes at the end of this semester."

"But, you can sneak into the classroom and listen! General education classes are all combined classrooms, with hundreds of people in each classroom, so it's hard to detect~"

She stretched.

I feel like in these few days, I have really accomplished something big that I never dared to think about before.

But it’s very fulfilling.

really……

When you are alive, you should do what you like and are willing to do.

What is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather? Not every life has value, and not every death has value.

Just be happy!
Just have a clear conscience!

Turning around, she hummed a song and walked towards the dormitory door.

"what?"

She opened her eyes wide.

In front of the dormitory building, stood a tall woman wearing sunglasses.

She was wearing a beautiful windbreaker, with a graceful and voluptuous figure, extraordinary temperament, and the blue earrings hanging on her ears sparkled like stars in the sun, surrounding her gentle face——

"Sister Yellow Bird?"

Chu Anqing trotted over and looked at the heroic woman standing in front of the dormitory building.

When we said goodbye at the hacker competition a few days ago, she did tell me that we would meet soon.

but……

This is too fast!

Is there something you want to talk to me about?

Chu Anqing came to Huang Que:

"Sister Huang Que, why are you here?"

The elegant woman who was half a head taller than him smiled and took off her sunglasses. Her deep blue eyes appeared in front of Chu Anqing again. Her glass-like beauty made Chu Anqing unable to look away.

"An Qing, do you have time now?"

Huang Que lowered his head slightly and looked at her:
"I have something...I want to talk to you about it."

……

……

On the third floor of the school cafeteria, in a quiet coffee shop cubicle, Chu Anqing and Huang Que sat across the table from each other.

The two drinks on the table had already gone cold.

But neither of them drank a sip.

Chu Anqing was stunned, listening to everything Huang Que had just told her.

"Is this... is this all true... Sister Huang Que, I, I can't quite understand it."

If.

Just now on the airport tarmac, the concepts of time and space travel that Senior Lin Xian talked about with me can still be understood from a conventional perspective.

By contrast.

What Sister Huang Que told her now was simply a fairy tale! It was completely beyond her understanding! It was like listening to a fantasy novel!
"I... I am..."

Chu Anqing was at a loss for a moment, and touched her cold face with both hands:

"I really don't understand, and I really..."

"It's okay, Anqing."

Across the table, Huang Que looked at her and said calmly:

"I didn't ask you to give me an answer right now. I also know that this request is very reluctant and excessive for you. So you don't need to give me an answer now. You still have a long time to think and make a decision. But please remember, don't tell anyone else what I told you."

She emphasized:
“No one can do that! Whether it’s your parents, Lin Xian, or anyone else… don’t tell anyone. You have to make the decision on this matter yourself.”

"Eh?"

Chu Anqing was stunned, feeling that she had been seen through:

"Lin...Senior Lin Xian is not okay too? I really want to discuss this with him...Isn't it possible for me to tell him?"

The yellow bird shook his head slowly:
"Believe me, An Qing. The reason I didn't let you tell Lin Xian was entirely for Lin Xian's own good."

"【Due to flexibility, the key information I told you is basically wrong or even completely opposite. If you tell these things to Lin Xian, it will definitely interfere with him. If he believes in these wrong information, he will definitely take a detour and miss this unique, rare, precious, and crucial opportunity.】"

"When I have more flexibility, I will correct these truths for you. But please believe what I say. Although these intelligence and information are wrong, it does not affect the truth of what I said. It's like pi. Even if I tell you that pi is 5.14, this number is obviously wrong, but it does not mean that pi itself is wrong."

"Forgive me for having to explain these things in such a complicated and roundabout way. I am helpless and have no other options. In fact, I brought you along just to add an insurance policy. What happened next is not within the [script] that I originally knew. It is also a new and unknown adventure for me, so I must be cautious and consider it more comprehensively."

……

Chu Anqing was shocked.

I still can’t recover from these fantasy novel-like stories.

Either way, this is unreal!
silence.

There was a long silence.

Neither of them spoke.

Chu Anqing frowned, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I, I want to ask..."

As if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and looked at Huang Que seriously:

"The [Alpha Matter] you mentioned... is the [Alpha Matter] that can only be found in the outer space. Is it really... really important to Senior Lin Xian?"

The yellow bird put down its crossed legs.

He looked at Chu Anqing seriously.

He nodded heavily:

"Yes, it is very important," she said softly.

"【All the failures started with the loss of this most crucial item... When I realized it later, it was too late.】"

……

The Yellow Bird stood up and left a note:
"Here, this is my phone number."

She picked up the coat folded aside:

"It's only September 2023, not even October yet. You still have plenty of time to consider and decide on this matter. When you finally make your decision, call me and I will tell you all the truth I can tell you."

wow-

Huang Que wore a beautiful windbreaker. She took out sunglasses from her coat pocket and put them on her face:
"Finally, I have to make one thing clear, An Qing. No matter what you choose, it will be correct. Because... I can't guess what the correct answer is right now. I will just try my best, work hard, and do what I think is right."

"It's just a pity..."

She smiled:

"【Actually, I know more about you. Also because of flexibility, I can't tell you now. Otherwise, it would be easier for you to make a decision.】"

"Goodbye, see you later."

Say it.

The yellow bird turned around and walked away in her high heels...

Chu Anqing withdrew her gaze from the figure at the corner of the stairs.

Looking at the small piece of paper with a mobile phone number written on it on the table.

Reach out...

Hold tight.

Put it in your pocket.

……

"The above is a simple understanding of Einstein's special theory of relativity."

In a crowded classroom.

Chu Anqing sat in the corner of the last row, nervously recording the words on the blackboard. The recorder next to her recorded everything that Teacher Zhang Yang had just said.

She pushed her glasses up on her nose.

Although there is no major problem with vision, just a little myopia, and no problem with daily life, study and games. But in the last row of the classroom that can accommodate hundreds of people... Chu Anqing is still worried that he can't see the blackboard and miss some details, so he specially wears this pair of glasses.

"Student, there is absolutely no problem with your eyesight! 1.0 is enough, you don't need glasses at all."

After the eye test, the staff at the school's optical shop said:
"If you pair it with anything else... it'll become a telescope."

"Yeah!"

Chu Anqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice:

"I just need a telescope!"

"But this is not good for your eyes...it will make them tired and even make your eyes worse."

"It's okay. I'll just bring it during the last class."

finally.

With Chu Anqing's repeated insistence, she got this pair of "telescopic glasses" and sneaked into Teacher Zhang Yang's general education class every time, sitting in the last row of the classroom, and learning knowledge like a spy.

She did not take this general education course last semester.

So theoretically, she couldn't come to class.

but……

In classes with hundreds of students like this, roll call is rarely taken, and the teacher doesn't care if there is one more or one less person, so it is very easy to get in.

Just as Senior Lin Xian said.

Teacher Zhang Yang's classes were humorous, easy to understand, and very popular. Every class was packed. There was even one class where I couldn't find a seat... Chu Anqing stood at the back of the classroom and listened to a class. Chu Anqing remembered that class very clearly. Teacher Zhang Yang told interesting scientific stories such as the grandfather paradox and Hawking's time travel experiment to deny the feasibility of time travel.

At the same time, it also tells the story of the famous century debate between Einstein and Bohr:

Copenhagen debates.

A debate surrounding quantum mechanics involved nearly the smartest group of scientists in human history. Each of them held an opinion, and the debate was difficult to resolve. In the end, no one was convinced by the other.

"Wow……"

Chu Anqing felt that her brain was ripe and ready to be sprinkled with chili powder.

Is this something that humans can understand?
Is this knowledge that humans can learn?
Bohr, Planck, Einstein... these people must be gods!
That class made Chu Anqing really question herself, perhaps she would never understand these complicated things.

In fact, the reason why she studied this course so hard was not because Senior Lin Xian aroused her interest, but because of someone else.

It was what Sister Huang Que told her that made it difficult for her to make a decision and a choice.

It’s not just as simple as the last time I went to space…

There were so many things she couldn't understand.

and so.

She wants to understand!

Want to understand all this!
only……

"It's too difficult!"

It was already two o'clock in the morning in the dormitory.

Chu Anqing pulled the bed curtains, turned on the small desk lamp, and stayed up late to study in her "tent". She hoped to learn more about... whether the things that Sister Huang Que said were true.

but.

She couldn't even understand the basics.

"Today is our last class of this semester."

Come to your senses.

At the front podium, Teacher Zhang Yang packed up his lesson plan, looked around the packed classroom, and said with a smile:

"At this time of the semester, I feel very gratified that so many students are so interested in such obscure, difficult to distinguish true from false hypotheses, and without any theoretical or experimental data to support them."

“The development of all scientific research begins with a hypothesis, an idea, a dream, or even a boast. Interest is always the primary driving force for humans to look up at the starry sky and the sea of ​​stars.”

"I hope that in the days ahead, everyone will continue to have a certain interest and concern for science, unknown things, and unpopular research subjects. In this world, there are always things that need to be done by someone. It could be you, it could be me, it could be him."

"But precisely because we don't know who it is, it could be anyone. I cannot deny that every student present today will not become a great man like Einstein or Newton in the future. What is the reason? The reason is——"

"As I said before, there are always things in this world that are worth doing, that need you to do, and that you must do! Don't always think that you are ordinary, common, and mediocre. You students may not be able to imagine..."

"[Every atom in your body comes from an exploded star. The atoms in your left hand and the atoms in your right hand may come from different galaxies. You are made of matter as old as the Earth, and a third of it is as old as the universe.]"

"It is these atoms from every corner of the universe, even from the edge of the universe, that come together to become you. Therefore...how can you be ordinary? My students...each of you is a miracle of this universe."

Say it.

Teacher Zhang Yang screwed on his thermos cup and laughed heartily at the classroom of hundreds of people:

"So! Your curiosity about the universe is your best answer! Just like in previous years, I never arrange exams for this general education course. All students who sign up will get full marks!"

"*!"

Amid the deafening cheers from the audience, Chu Anqing cursed inwardly. Finally, she understood why so many people were eager to take this course, why the competition was so fierce, and why every time the course selection system was refreshed, the quota was gone in seconds!

original!

The real reason! There was no final exam!

Full marks for everything! Free credits!

……

that's it.

The first half of the sophomore year is coming to an end.

Due to her busy review and exams, she also missed the "Science Charity Dinner" hosted by her father and missed the opportunity to meet senior Lin Xian.

"The atoms in your left hand and the atoms in your right hand may come from different galaxies..."

Chu Anqing looked at her left hand and then at her right hand.

Slowly bring your hands closer together.

Hold together.

Hold together tightly.

“How romantic…”

Chu Anqing closed her eyes, feeling this encounter across galaxies and romance across the universe.

Open the drawer of the study desk in the dormitory.

She took out the small note left by the yellow bird...

She hasn't contacted Huang Que since they parted in the cafe that day.

Even thinking about it every day and night.

But I never had the courage to make this call.

But now...

She figured it out.

“I am the star.”

She repeated what Teacher Zhang Yang had said, raised her head, and looked at herself in the makeup mirror with a determined look in her eyes:
"I am the universe!"

……

"impossible!"

In the luxurious manor, Chu Shanhe yelled angrily:
"Don't even think about it!!"

"Why!!!"

Chu Anqing shouted even louder than her father:

"I thought you would agree without hesitation! Haven't you always been supportive of science and respected those space heroes? Why don't you let me go?!"

Chu Anqing never expected this.

I finally made up my mind, but in the end I was unexpectedly stuck with my father!
This was something she had never expected!
She originally thought that her father would support her more than anyone else in doing this kind of thing... Isn't it an honorable thing to participate in the country's secret program, go to space, and carry out secret missions! ?

“Why don’t you let me go!”

Chu Anqing shouted:

"I'm doing a good thing! I'm not going out for fun!"

"You might as well go travel!"

Chu Shanhe stood with his hands behind his back, brows furrowed, looking at the red-headed document on the coffee table.

Signed by Longguo Aerospace.

Stamped by multiple departments.

It can’t be faked.

But it's extremely ridiculous!

Absolutely absurd!

Letting a 19-year-old girl, with no training and no talent, go into space is complete nonsense!

"You just can't go anyway!"

Chu Shanhe simply waved his hands, indicating that there was no need to discuss the matter.

At this time.

Su Xiuying also stepped forward and rubbed Chu Anqing's face, which was about to cry:
"You little girl... what are you thinking about? Going to space on a mission... I thought you were joking! How could it be your turn to go on such a mission? How could it be your turn?"

"Besides, even if it's your turn, can you go? What can you do? How can you help? If you go, won't it cause trouble for the country? Why doesn't your father let you go? Isn't it because he's worried about your safety, worried that something might happen to you, that you'd be in danger... Why don't you understand?"

Chu Shanhe, who was pacing, also turned around and looked at Chu Anqing, who was stubborn, pouting and shedding tears. "Do you know how dangerous this is? Although I don't know how you convinced the Space Agency to give you this ridiculous document, I can't watch my daughter participate in such a dangerous plan! I don't believe that this space mission can't be done without you! Is there no one left in the whole Dragon Country?"

"There's really no one left in Dragon Country. I'll go! Your mom will go! Even if the two of us go together, there's no reason for you to go! Do you really think we're going to take a plane? A ship? That's outer space! If something really happens, there's no chance of survival!"

He let out a long breath and glared at Chu Anqing:
"Do you think that I don't know that you secretly went to the United States to cheer for Lin Xian at the hacker competition?"

Chu Anqing choked up while sobbing, opened her eyes wide and looked at her father.

This……

Could it be?

"I found out within a few days of your return!" Chu Shanhe pointed at Chu Anqing fiercely.

Su Xiuying touched Chu Anqing's head:

"When your dad found out, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep for a few days... He said he didn't take good care of you. By then you had already returned from the United States, but your dad was still scared when he thought about you, and he couldn't sleep for a few days."

"Don't tell her that."

Chu Shanhe interrupted Su Xiuying directly and continued to look at Chu Anqing, frowning:

"Why didn't I tell you about this? Did I scold you? Did I not quarrel with you?"

"Your mother and I feel that the child has grown up and is 19 years old. He has his own ideas and thoughts. So we pretended not to know and didn't say anything. We just pretended that nothing happened and didn't expose your thoughts. We respect you!"

"But who would have thought that you would go too far! Going too far! I can't tolerate you anymore! I've read this document, and it needs my signature. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible. I can't sign for you! I'll talk to the head of the space agency and tell them that anyone can go, but you can't go!"

tears.

Chu Anqing's eyes blurred instantly, and she burst into tears:
"Why? Why don't you let me go..."

"You said going into space is dangerous, then isn't it dangerous to guard the border? Isn't it dangerous to be a soldier? Isn't it dangerous to be on the front line during the war? Isn't it dangerous for those aircraft testers, policemen, and bomb disposal workers? There are many children of my age among them! There are many girls like me!"

"Why can't I go... Why can others go but I can't? Give me a reason!"

"[Because you are Chu Shanhe's daughter!!]"

Chu Shanhe was so angry that his veins popped up:
"Do you understand? Because you are Chu Shanhe's daughter! So you can't go! It's that simple!"

Chu Anqing sobbed.

I can hardly breathe.

But she clenched her fists.

Stand up straight!

Staring at her father with tearful eyes...

"dad……"

She cried and trembled:
"Which girl is not someone's daughter? Which girl... doesn't have a father? No one is born out of a stone... Even if their fathers are not called Chu Shanhe, each of them is the apple of their father's eye."

"It's just that now is a peaceful time... there's no need to do those dangerous things. But if there really is something that requires you, me, and everyone to do it... if everyone refuses and doesn't stand up bravely... then what will happen to the country? What will happen to life?"

"Just because I'm Chu Shanhe's daughter, can I just stay back and watch other people's daughters go forward one after another... to fight... to fight their lives... and I just watch like this! For the rest of my life!!!"

“I don’t want it!!!”

Chu Anqing shouted loudly!

She wiped away several tears with her arms.

Gritting his teeth, he glared at his majestic father:
"[Since other people's daughters can do it, then Chu Shanhe's daughter... can do it too!]"
