Chapter 694 The Joy of Shipping Two Strong Characters
“I said before that our eldest son is like an open book, and some people might disagree with me, saying that he is not the kind of person who can't keep secrets, but if he doesn't want others to know, he will definitely keep it well hidden, like his sweetheart Gu. In fact, being able to keep secrets and not being able to find anything even if you look at him with a microscope are two different concepts, okay?”
"By the way, here's some gossip. According to a reliable insider, the reason someone hasn't been exposed all these years is not only because they're extremely cautious, but also because our young master is willing to spend money, you know? Otherwise, with so many paparazzi watching him year after year, and him not having a single scandal, what's the point?"

Perhaps getting excited about gossip, Dingding Cat chuckled and shared a rumor:
"There's something else, but I've only heard about it, so I can't guarantee it's true. Just take it as a joke."

"It's said that after the young couple got married, our eldest son immediately handed over the reins of the household finances. Our good daughter-in-law, always so open and honest, is reluctant to spend money even when photographed. The paparazzi can't do anything about it, so they can only release what they've photographed. Thus, we've seen fried chicken legs 1.0, fried chicken legs 2.0, as well as a series of amusing incidents like ring toss on the street, buying balloons at an intersection, calling the fire department for help, and playing claw machines in a shopping mall. To this, I must say, I hope that in the future, our good daughter-in-law will continue to be so adept at managing the household!"

As they talked, Dingding Cat couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The comments section was filled with "hahahaha".

"Okay, enough of the digression. We can't laugh at each other, okay? Although I always have a strong sense of humor, hahaha! Sorry, I have a low threshold for laughter, and I just can't stop laughing..."

Dingding Cat laughed heartily for a long time before wiping away her tears and apologizing: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. I just can't help but laugh whenever I think about her with that authoritative and serious face, doing so many adorable things that make people's hearts melt! Before they got married, I really never thought that one day I would secretly send private messages to shows like 'Comedians' to strongly recommend Gu Lanxi! Hahaha! I admit I'm a bit unethical, but don't you guys really think she's hilarious?"

While chatting idly, Dingding Cat opened the reference materials.

"I previously delved into Tingzai's early works and analyzed his mental journey. Now I want to focus on finding the subtle details that Manman revealed after the two met."

"First of all, let me state that although this information is publicly available, it is subject to various restrictions, and you may not be able to find some of it. This does not mean that my search methods are irregular. Please do not attack me for this, OK?"

Dingdingmao is a scientific researcher whose projects have been progressing well in recent years. She has published many important papers and has a high status in the industry. Those who are interested have long guessed her identity. Hearing her say this, they know that she found these things by using her connections to some extent, and they all expressed their understanding.

"Let me take a look at Gu's papers first. Here are all the papers she has published, some of which are hard copies that she specifically asked someone to find. Some people have looked at them a few years ago, but I believe that the ones I have here are just as complete as the ones she has in her own hands."

"I've divided all the materials into two piles in chronological order. This pile contains materials published before the two of us met, and this pile contains materials published after the two of us met. Because this video is for entertainment purposes, and my research interests are different from those of Comrade Manman, you can look up that amazing live stream from back then for the professional knowledge. I won't go into details here."

"Today, my focus is on analyzing the acknowledgments section of each paper, including the acknowledgments section of her undergraduate and graduate theses."

"Younger students may not be familiar with academic papers yet, so I'll give a brief overview based on my experience. In the acknowledgments section of an academic paper, if there is one, we usually thank the supervisor for their dedicated guidance and praise their rigorous scholarship. Then we thank the teachers, classmates, and others who provided assistance during the writing process. Finally, everyone inevitably mentions their family and spouse. However, as everyone knows, I have reviewed all of Gu Manman's papers published before she met Gu Manman, and in the acknowledgments section, she never mentioned her family."

"Until this one, the situation is different."

Dingding Cat opened an English magazine and pointed one of its pages at the camera.

"This is a heavyweight paper published in a top international journal after Gu Moumou served as Lu Moumou's tutor for four months. According to my understanding of this journal, it would take at least eight months for an ordinary person from review to publication. Even if her mentor is a big name in the industry and she has an extremely illustrious resume to endorse herself, this process would still take at least three or four months."

"We turned to the acknowledgments section, and yes, it's in English. I translated it for everyone."

"Don't worry about the preceding paragraphs, they're irrelevant to our topic today. Our focus is on the last paragraph. I've translated it in a more elegant style, but you can automatically replace it with plain language. "This is what she wrote: 'The world is full of complexities and chaos, but fortunately, during my academic journey, I encountered a sincere and upright person. Their heart is pure, untainted by worldly dust, allowing me to glimpse the clarity and perseverance of scholarship amidst the tedious pursuit of knowledge. I am grateful for their companionship and encouragement, their guidance illuminating my path with their true self, their purity cleansing my restlessness, enabling me to cultivate deeply and move forward with unwavering determination!'"

After reading the passage aloud in a soft voice, Dingding Cat couldn't help but clap her hands: "Everyone, pay attention! This 'sincere and open-minded person'! Appears for the first time in her writing! Right after they met! Such a calm and intelligent person would write about someone so soon after meeting him in an important paper that is of great significance to her!!"

A few years ago, someone analyzed Gu Lanxi's thesis, but it was too technical for the average person to understand. They would give up after reading just the beginning. As for professionals, they would focus on the main body of the paper and would not read the acknowledgments section carefully.

Gu Lanxi's use of classical language makes it less smooth to read, and even fewer people take the time to read it carefully.

Those unaware of her past with Lu Nanting, even if they understood, wouldn't think much of it. That's why Dingdingmao exposed this matter today, and all the viewers couldn't help but applaud!

As expected of the chief miner of Lantingji, his sugar-digging skills are truly exceptional!
"Guess whether our young master knows about this or not?"

Dingding Cat chuckled, looking incredibly smug!
"I found several similar acknowledgments, all of which subtly acknowledge Lu Nanting's complete approval. I won't translate them one by one; I'll post the photos in the comments section later, and you can figure it out yourselves."

"What I want to say now is that, according to their own accounts, the exact time they got together was on the day our eldest son turned eighteen, when they went for a night walk on the Great Wall. So, how do you explain these papers? And how do you explain the past six months?"

Dingding Cat's voice went up an octave:

"How else can it be explained? Our Tingzi! It was never one-sided!! He got a response!! An extremely romantic! An extremely passionate response!! It's just a pity that he probably doesn't even know about it."

"With such a completely positive mentor by his side, a genius with exceptional execution skills and a super clear mind, how could he not be influenced? He just wants to go his own way. As long as his will is strong enough, no one can stop him!"
"Alright, let's enjoy this song 'Go Forward Bravely' one last time and experience the joy of shipping the two strong contenders together!"

A song, incredibly energetic, was played until the very end. The screen went black, and suddenly a line of large text appeared:
[To a certain Earth sign: Is your love really so hard to express? Please, give me back my sleep!!]

Double monthly pass giveaway ends tomorrow!!
Friends, don't forget to vote!

"Go Forward Bravely" is the title track of Lu Nanting's second album. It uses a simple melody and a strong rhythm to express his persistence and pursuit of his dreams.

This song was mentioned in Chapters 166 and 168.

When Lu Nanting was on his third tour, he specially rearranged the song so that he could perform with Gu Lanxi.

From confusion to determination, ending this video with this song is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, I can't compose music. You'll have to rely on your imagination.
