After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 256 Meeting Yu Xinyan in the Capital, Pei Danqing's Longed-for Life

For the next day and a half, Xu Lin was in charge of directing the music.

Actually, the workload wasn't heavy, and Xu Lin was quite relaxed.

In just over a day, Xu Lin's music direction work in Beijing was officially completed.

Meanwhile, Xu Lin's three million yuan reward has been credited to his account today.

In reality, I only received a little over two million, and I still have to pay taxes.

Xu Lin plans to leave tomorrow at noon. Summer vacation is not a time for him to relax; he has many things to do.

After telling Pei Danqing, Xu Lin left the CCTV building ahead of schedule.

Then we departed for Kyoto University.

Time: 3:30 PM.

Yu Xinyan is here right now; Xu Linshun is passing by to see her.

Kyoto University is open to the public, but registration is required.

As for whether there will be any outsiders causing trouble?

Are you kidding me?
Is this just a university?
After registering at the guardhouse, Xu Lin was able to enter smoothly.

Actually, this university was also Xu Lin's dream when he was a child.

However, that was all in his childhood. When he was a child, Xu Lin dreamed of becoming Ultraman or a Super Saiyan.

Or, more realistically, become an aerodynamicist.

Obviously, this has nothing to do with Xu Lin.

Studying depends on talent; if your IQ isn't high enough, those top fields will have absolutely nothing to do with you.

After entering the school, Xu Lin started walking.

It's holiday time now, so there aren't as many people at school as usual, but there are still quite a few.

Where is Yu Xinyan?

Xu Lin sent her a message.

However, Yu Xinyan did not reply, presumably because she was busy.

Because Yu Xinyan usually replies to his messages as soon as she sees them.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Yu Xinyan replied.

"Xu Lin, I was just doing an experiment!"

"When does get out of class end? I'm at your university."

"Oh, you've come here?"

"I was busy with work, but I stopped by to see you."

"But I don't get out of class until 5:30, what should I do?"

"It's okay, I'm going to the gym to play some basketball. Just let me know when you're done with get out of class."

"Okay, I'll tell you later!"

Xu Lin then went to the gymnasium.

Although it's summer vacation now, the atmosphere of physical fitness is very strong here. Xu Lin saw many people exercising in the stadium.

As for the basketball court inside the stadium, people are still playing there.

Two teams.

Xu Lin told one of the teams and joined immediately.

There aren't so many complicated rules when guys play basketball. They just go up to him and say, "Hey bro, wanna join?"
The other party is also happy to let you join.

Xu Lin is tall, 1.9 meters, strong and muscular, and has a very good foundation in basketball.

Don't even mention it, with his current physical strength, in terms of physical confrontation, even the NBA superstars wouldn't be able to withstand his impact.

He quickly won over the locals and gained a lot of popularity.

And just like that, time flew by and it was past five o'clock.

Yu Xinyan finished class and sent a message to Xu Lin, but Xu Lin didn't reply, so she came over.

Yu Xinyan, carrying her schoolbag, looked around the gymnasium.

After a short while, she finally saw the figure.

Xu Lin had been playing basketball for over an hour, and he was drenched in sweat.

"Xu Lin!"

Yu Xinyan waved and shouted again.

"Dude, is that girl calling you?"

"Wow, you're so pretty!"

"Wow, that's awesome, bro!"

The basketball players gave Xu Lin a thumbs up, and their gazes towards him became ambiguous, or perhaps even a little envious.

Yu Xinyan is very beautiful, she has the appearance of a celestial maiden descended to earth.

Moreover, as she grows older, Yu Xinyan is gradually maturing into her full potential; she will become more and more beautiful, eventually reaching a peak.

In short, nineteen-year-old Yu Xinyan was incredibly radiant under the slanting sunlight, stunning the boys present. All those "white moonlight" ideals paled in comparison to her.

Xu Lin took a long-range shot, and the basketball went into the basket without any surprise.

three-pointer.

"Hey bro, let's play sometime, I'm getting busy now."

He said goodbye to everyone.

Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan left the gymnasium.

"Xu Lin, you're sweating a lot." Yu Xinyan wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue.

"Playing basketball, that's normal."

Xu Lin asked, "How have you been lately? Are the courses difficult?"

"It's not difficult, I feel like I can handle it."

Yu Xinyan studied mathematics, a field only geniuses are qualified to enter.

Moreover, this is the mathematics department of a top university.

Those who can get in are all experts, especially among these experts, there are even more experts, Yu Xinyan is one of them.

Yu Xinyan said, "Today I'm working on a mathematical model, which requires computer programming, so I need to learn programming!"

This is about applied mathematics.

Mathematics has two directions: theoretical mathematics and applied mathematics. The latter involves conducting experiments.

"Programming, is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult!"

Yu Xinyan shook her head.

Xu Lin thought about it and agreed. Yu Xinyan was very smart. In fact, no subject would be difficult for her. Perhaps only those very profound fields could stump her.

"As long as it's not too difficult, that way we can have a pleasant summer vacation."

"Xu Lin, what brings you to the capital?"

"I'm here to do some music composition work. I just received three million today, isn't that amazing?"

"Great!"

Yu Xinyan was very happy for him.

"Xu Lin, I have class tonight."

What time is it?

"Eight o'clock."

"Let's go to the cafeteria for a meal. I've heard your cafeteria is pretty good."

"Okay, let's go eat. The cafeteria here is really good. There's a lot of food to eat, and it tastes great."

Yu Xinyan was in high spirits and pulled Xu Lin to one of the canteens, introducing him to the delicious food there.

The two then went up to the second floor.

The second floor has stir-fries; just go to the window and order whatever you want.

"The stir-fries here are especially delicious. The auntie and grandpa are really good cooks. Xu Lin, you have to try them!"

"Row."

"It's my treat!" Yu Xinyan said.

Since Xu Lin had come all this way, Yu Xinyan ordered five dishes. She knew Xu Lin ate a lot and wouldn't let him go hungry.

After ordering, you just wait for the food to be prepared.

This will take some time.

Xu Lin, having nothing else to do, asked, "Let's see what you're learning?"

"They're all on my computer, take a look."

Yu Xinyan turned on her computer.

There's also a development tool running on it, which Yu Xinyan has been studying recently—it's what she's doing in her experiments.

English programming.

Xu Lin glanced at it.

This is an integer model, which requires programming.

At that moment, Xu Lin had a sudden thought: he didn't know when he would see Yu Xinyan again.

How about I give you a small gift? Would you like it?

"Of course! What kind of gift?"

Upon hearing that Xu Lin was going to give her a gift, Yu Xinyan was very excited.

"I'll program you to create a small AI, put it on your computer and phone, and it will come out whenever you call it."

"Xu Lin, do you know how to program?"

"Of course!"

Xu Lin opened the new development tools.

Then, I started typing code on it using Chinese.

Is this Chinese programming?

Yu Xinyan looked puzzled, staring at the computer screen. She saw that it was written in classical Chinese, and Xu Lin had also used some rather complex mathematics.

"It's obvious."

Xu Lin was quite confident: "Moreover, one day, this will be the mainstream programming language in our country!"

Xu Lin only spent about twenty minutes designing a small AI.

Once the setup was complete, a cartoon-style figure of Yu Xinyan appeared on Yu Xinyan's computer desktop, making the screen seem like its room.

Many programmers do this: they just put a plush toy on their computer desktop as a decoration, nothing special.

But it's different for Xu Lin.

It can help with some basic tasks.

"Hello, my master, please name me!"

It spoke, and its voice was very human-like.

Wow, so cute?

Yu Xinyan was surprised.

Xu Lin: "You can call her Yan Yan, classmate!"

Xu Lin: "I'll do the voice input for you."

Under Xu Lin's guidance, Yu Xinyan recorded her voice, and Xu Lin did the same.

Xu Lin said, "Turn on the camera for me."

Immediately afterwards, the laptop webcam turned on, and Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan appeared on the screen.

Xu Lin: "Turn off the camera."

The camera was immediately turned off.

Xu Lin: "Open Word, Excel, and Google Chrome."

The three apps were opened immediately.

"Xu Lin, you're amazing! How did you do that?"

"Programming, technology, aren't you learning it too? I'm programming in Chinese, but this AI can only do simple tasks and help you operate the basic functions of the software. It can't do anything more complicated. Otherwise, look, I finished it in twenty minutes. It's a simple process, so it can only do some simple tasks."

"That's still amazing!"

"Give it a try. By the way, give me your phone, and I'll set it up for you so it can also appear on your phone."

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Lin took the other person's phone.

password?

Xu Lin 6352.

They were his and Yu Xinyan's birthdays respectively.

Xu Lin quickly set it up; all he had to do was call its name, and it would come out.

Because of voice recognition, only Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan can pronounce it; it won't work if others do, and it can only be used on Yu Xinyan's phone and computer.

At this moment, Yu Xinyan also happily started playing, finding it very novel.

"Xu Lin, it's so interesting!"

Yu Xinyan was very excited.

Xu Lin: "Do you like this little gift?"

"like!"

Yu Xinyan leaned over and kissed Xu Lin on the cheek.

Meanwhile, the first dish of their stir-fry was ready, and the rest were served one after another.

As expected of one of the best universities, the cafeteria ladies and gentlemen here are quite skilled cooks.

Xu Lin felt that as long as you didn't crave fancy food outside, you could eat to your heart's content in the cafeteria.

Moreover, it's very cheap here. This dish is so big, it's comparable to the portion size of a Northeastern Chinese dish, and it only costs ten yuan. In other restaurants, it would be normal for a dish to cost forty or fifty yuan, and thirty yuan or more would be considered a bargain.

"Xu Lin, eat more!"

Beside her, Yu Xinyan would occasionally put food on Xu Lin's plate. She cherished the rare opportunity to see him.

"Okay, you should eat more too."

Dinner was very enjoyable.

Afterwards, the two finished eating and cleaned up the dishes.

After leaving the cafeteria, I wandered around the campus again.

The campus is very large, covering four or five thousand acres. You could walk around for a long time just to explore it.

Yu Xinyan took Xu Lin on a tour, showing him the teaching and research buildings, the administration buildings, and other famous tourist attractions and buildings in China.

Then, the two arrived at Weiming Lake.

Xu Lin and his group saw many couples on dates here.

On a whim, Yu Xinyan walked up to Xu Lin and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Xu Lin, let's kiss."

After saying that, Yu Xinyan took the initiative to kiss him.

After kissing for a while, the two sat on the grass, with Yu Xinyan lying in Xu Lin's arms. They looked out at the distant lake and talked about things that happened around this time last year.

At this time last year, Yu Xinyan was still at summer camp, while Xu Lin was typing at home.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Xinyan felt a little wistful. Originally, Xu Lin didn't have anything to be wistful about, but Yu Xinyan's influence made him feel a little lost.

why?

Xu Lin felt it was because he had grown up.

At nineteen, in ancient times, his son would probably already be old enough to run errands. Therefore, Xu Lin had even more to deal with; he had to think about how he should live his life, and all sorts of other miscellaneous things.

Time passed, and night was about to fall.

seven thirty.

"Xu Lin, I have to go to class."

Yu Xinyan felt a pang of regret and was reluctant to part.

Which classroom?

"Experimental Building".

"I'll take you there."

Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan arrived at the laboratory building together.

"We're here. Go on up. You can call me if you need anything."

Xu Lin instructed.

"Mmm!" The latter nodded seriously.

Xu Lin turned and left. Yu Xinyan waited until Xu Lin was out of sight before turning around and entering the laboratory building, feeling dejected.

That's life; there are always more partings than reunions.

Will I be able to stay by his side forever in the future?
Yu Xinyan thought to herself as she looked at her classmate Yan Yan on the table.

This is a gift from Xu Lin to her.

Yan Yan is quite mischievous. She stays on the desktop and when Yu Xin Yan doesn't give her any instructions, she walks around on the desktop, sometimes dancing or doing cute things. And her actions are never repeated, as if she has her own thoughts.

Yu Xinyan found it very interesting.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a live wallpaper.

"Yu Xinyan, what is this? It looks quite interesting."

Someone asked her.

"My boyfriend designed the program for me; it will do some simple tasks for me."

Then Yu Xinyan demonstrated to everyone, showing them Xu Lin's work. Actually, it wasn't anything special, not very technically difficult, but it was very appealing to girls, who found it cute and interesting. Then, everyone deduced that Yu Xinyan's boyfriend must be a very romantic guy.

Xu Lin left Kyoto University. It was already dark by then. He didn't linger outside but went straight back to the courtyard house.

It was a little after 8 p.m.

Xu Lin pushed open the door and entered, and heard the sound of a flute.

Xu Lin was a little curious; was Pei Danqing playing the flute?

Sure enough, after Xu Lin met Pei Danqing, he saw her playing the flute.

"Director Pei, what a refined interest you have?"

"Just call me Sister Pei."

She stopped what she was doing, thinking that Director Pei was rather unfamiliar with her.

Pei Danqing said, "I learned to play the flute when I was in school."

She talked a bit too much and continued, "Back then, I liked watching period dramas. When I saw the protagonists playing the zither or flute, I thought I should try it too, so I went to learn the flute, but I only learned the basics."

"Given Pei's family background, did she learn any musical instruments when she was young?"

"No, I wasn't very interested in musical instruments at the time, but I read a lot of books. As for skills, I'd say horseback riding; I started learning when I was thirteen or fourteen."

Horse riding was something only the wealthy could learn, as it was considered an aristocratic sport.

Pei Danqing asked him, "Can you play the flute?"

"Yes!"

Xu Lin then said, "Give me the flute."

Pei Danqing then handed it to the other party.

"What kind of music would you like to hear? Anything I can play, or I can play my own."

"Hmm... Phoenix Seeks Its Mate, I guess."

"Ok."

Xu Lin straightened his posture and immediately began to blow.

The piece "Phoenix Seeking Its Mate" can be played on any instrument, although different instruments will give different feelings.

The sound produced by the flute is melodious and penetrating, and under Xu Lin's playing, it also carries an ethereal quality.

Pei Danqing sat there, watching the other person play, and seemed to enjoy it.

But then she suddenly felt something was missing. It wasn't that Xu Lin's playing was bad; on the contrary, it was very beautiful, giving her a great enjoyment from a spiritual and emotional level. Pei Danqing felt that if the scene at this moment were in a peach blossom forest, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and Xu Lin and she were dressed in ancient costumes, they would be chivalrous heroes in the martial arts world.

Everyone has a life they yearn for. The life Pei Danqing yearns for is that of the unrestrained and free-spirited knights-errant in books or on television, who travel the world, uphold justice, and are free from worldly burdens.

Of course, this was just her imagination.

Because in reality, these knights-errant are just like that—a group of people who don't engage in productive work, and it's hard to say what their source of income is.

You can't just go around killing people for money every day, can you? What about killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles, or being a chivalrous knight-errant?
Didn't they have laws in ancient times? If you were wanted by the authorities, your life would probably be worse than a dog's; you'd have to hide from everyone every day.

Novels and TV dramas have both romanticized their lives.

Soon, the song ended.

Pei Danqing was still not satisfied.

I was just thinking of having Xu Lin compose another poem.

"Do you have any alcohol? I'd like some." Xu Lin felt thirsty.

"Yes, would you like some red wine?"

"The red wine is just right."

"Okay, I'll take it out."

Soon, Pei Danqing brought out three bottles of red wine, and there were two other people who specifically drank red wine.

This is Hayas dry red wine, and it's not cheap, costing over ten thousand yuan a bottle.

In addition to the red wine, Pei Danqing also took out a pack of cigarettes.

"cigarette?"

Xu Lin was surprised.

"I got this for you from home today; you can't buy it outside."

Pei Danqing assumed Xu Linping smoked, so she brought him a pack of cigarettes.

This type of cigarette is called a special supply cigarette; it is not available to the general public and can only be smoked by a select group of people.

Her younger brother, Pei Guanyun, was really craving it, because he usually had to buy it from outside. As a result, his sister managed to get a pack from an elder for her future brother-in-law, who was three years younger than him.

He can't get it!

"What's so special about this cigarette?"

Xu Lin took out a package.

Generally, cigarette packs have a label stating: Smoking is harmful to your health.

But this kind of cigarette doesn't have that.

"Special supply cigarettes, do you want some?"

"Why don't you want it? So this is the kind of cigarettes those big shots smoke?"

Xu Lin found it strange. As everyone knows, rich people eat different things than ordinary people. Food safety is a problem for ordinary people, but the water they drink is specially supplied and is extremely healthy.

Damn it, even cigarettes are specially supplied.

Snapped!
Xu Lin lit one.

The familiar taste; Zhang Boyu had given him one last time, and now Xu Lin had finally rediscovered that feeling.

What time are you leaving tomorrow?

Pei Danqing poured him a glass of red wine.

"Noon, I'll sleep in this morning."

When will you come to the capital again?

"It's hard to say, I'll come if something comes up, but I'll definitely come at least once this year."

"Now that you're on holiday, what do you usually do?"

Pei Danqing hadn't forgotten that Xu Lin was still her student.

Moreover, the first two years of college are the most leisurely time for college students, right after the first year ends.

"As for what I do, I'm quite busy, especially during the summer vacation."

"What are you busy with?"

"A very great thing."

How great is it?

Pei Danqing pressed for details, she was quite curious. Xu Lin seemed to speak in a way that was both frivolous and serious, which made her unable to figure him out.

"It's complicated. If I succeed, your great-grandfather will definitely urge you to marry me."

Pei Danqing remained silent, her gaze slightly reproachful as she glared at Xu Lin.

She didn't reject Xu Lin's statement.

Xu Lin: "Actually, I'm trying to develop artificial intelligence!"

"artificial intelligence?"

Pei Danqing was even more surprised: "You're not writing, songwriting, or composing music, this is literary and artistic creation, right? How come there's such a big difference?"

How do literature and art relate to science and technology?
Xu Lin didn't explain directly to her, but instead said, "Bring out a piece of paper and two pens."

"wait for me."

"Remember to use two pens!"

"Uh-huh."

Pei Danqing didn't know what Xu Lin was going to do, so she went back to her room and brought out a notebook and two pens.

The two were standing next to the stone table in the courtyard.

Then, Pei Danqing saw Xu Lin holding a pen in each hand, using both hands simultaneously.

With his left hand, Xu Lin wrote the great man's poem "Qinyuanchun: Snow".

On his right hand, Xu Lin wrote the great man's poem "Lang Tao Sha: Beidaihe".

Without interfering with each other, he wrote very quickly, and his handwriting was very beautiful.

"Multitasking?"

Pei Danqing was very surprised; this was the first time she had ever seen Xu Lin multitask like this in real life.

"It's about doing four things at once, but I only have two hands, so I can't use the other two."

Xu Lin stopped writing; he had finished.

"Doing four things at once?"

Pei Danqing was even more surprised, "How high does your IQ have to be to do this?"

She thought about herself; her IQ was over 140, which was much higher than the average person, but it was still impossible for her to multitask.

"We are not discussing IQ; that is the use of brainpower, which is very different from IQ."

Xu Lin pointed to his head: "Literature and art are just simple applications of my brain. I'm challenging myself in new fields."

A great man.

His poetry rivals the grandeur of the Han and Tang dynasties, and is on par with those great poets and lyricists.

His calligraphy is on par with Huaisu. Who is Huaisu? He is the pinnacle of cursive script and a figure whose name will be remembered for all time in the history of calligraphy.

But these are nothing.

For great people, this is merely a secondary skill.

He was a military strategist, tactician, politician, and thinker.

In terms of both civil administration and military achievements, few people in the entire history can compare to him, and this is true even in the context of the entire history of humankind.

It should be understood that in our country, the naming of "experts" is very strict. Only a great figure like Confucius, who has been remembered throughout the ages, a teacher for all ages, and the most revered sage, can be called a thinker, educator, writer, and politician.

By the way, Confucius was a politician, so don't underestimate him.

Of course, his worthless descendants disgraced his name.

Great men—this is Xu Lin's ultimate idol.

Therefore, Xu Lin had to get down to business. Literature and art were just for making money; for Xu Lin, they weren't even worthy of being discussed. He needed a great creation that could propel him to the top of the world stage.

"Speaking of which, your cigarettes have quite a flavor."

Xu Lin exhaled a cloud of mist, and Pei Danqing felt as if he were exhaling immortal energy, though she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

Pei Danqing still couldn't understand Xu Lin's ability to do four things at once, but she had witnessed his ability to do two things at once.

Actually, Xu Lin's most impressive skill is his talent for learning; he can quickly master a skill, which is the most amazing thing.

But he did not demonstrate it.

The three bottles of red wine were quickly finished, with Xu Lin drinking most of them.

He drinks alcohol like it's water.

Then, Pei Danqing took out two more bottles.

Nothing happened tonight. They say things tend to happen between men and women after they drink.

Xu Lin didn't believe in that kind of thing.

Around 11 p.m., the two returned to their respective rooms, took showers, and went to bed.

Silent all night.

The next day happened to be Saturday.

Pei Danqing didn't have to go to work, and Xu Lin didn't get up until nine o'clock.

He slept in late.

Then I got up, washed up, and ate breakfast.

Pei Danqing took him to the airport.

"I'll go in first."

Xu Lin said goodbye to the other party.

"See you."

Pei Danqing nodded and watched Xu Lin enter the airport.

It was already mid-July.

Xu Lin also had to go back to work.

It was a little after 4 p.m., shortly after Xu Lin got off the plane.

Just then, he received a message from Shang Wanjun, saying that her novel went on sale the day before yesterday, and he received a notification today that the publisher said it was doing well.

"How exactly are the results good?"

Xu Lin asked her.

One minute later, Shangwanjun replied: "The publisher said it has the potential to become a bestseller, and they will increase the sales volume when it is released."

Xu Lin: "That's great! You'll make a lot of money then, and you'll also gain fame as the beautiful writer Shang Wanjun."

Shang Wanjun: “Yeah.”

Shang Wanjun: "I moved. I just moved in today. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"You moved?"

"Yes, a change of scenery is nice; the environment here is better than before."

Shang Wanjun sent him a few pictures.

It's also a duplex apartment, but this time the environment is much nicer and looks much more upscale. The decor is very cozy, and it seems to be the kind of style that girls would like.

The area seems to be even larger.

"I'll go take a look. See you later."

Shang Wanjun has already resigned from the school and moved all her belongings out. Xu Lin looked at the location she posted for the new place, and it was very close to the school where she was pursuing her doctorate.

As for the university where she pursued her doctorate, it was the second-ranked university in Jiangdu.
