The academic genius started by accidentally flirting with the rich female principal.

Seeing Chen Yu standing there in a daze, Shen Yanru, whose face was already flushed, turned around and left, disappearing into the night. When Chen Yu came to his senses... he couldn't see the mature female professor at all.

"..."

"One NSC paper as first author, three PRL papers as first author."

"Are they treating me like a nuclear-powered donkey?"

Chen Yu pursed his lips, feeling helpless and bitter, but it wasn't particularly difficult.

Although publishing an NSC-level article is extremely difficult... even at the world's top 10 universities, most research groups cannot consistently produce one NSC article every year.

For example, at ETH Zurich, publishing a paper on NSC can get you featured on the school's homepage.

However...

Chen Yu is a reincarnated person. Although he was only reborn two years ago, the two-year time difference is enough to create a miracle.

But then again...

If I really started dating a mature female professor, what would happen to her stepmother? Wouldn't the voluptuous and mature Principal Wen be left to endure loneliness and isolation?

"never mind..."

Let's take it one step at a time.

"The key issue is that Shen Yanru... sometimes doesn't keep her word."

Chen Yu learned this the hard way. He would set a goal each time, but after achieving it, he would not deliver on the promised reward. Of course, this was not unique to Shen Yanru... it should be said that all the research group mentors were like this, they liked to make all sorts of empty promises.

at the same time,

The middle-aged female professor, who had been in a panic, finally returned to her apartment.

She was leaning against the apartment door, breathing heavily, her eyes filled with shame and panic... Although she had made a request that he couldn't fulfill, she was the one who had spoken first.

"should..."

"It probably won't be finished, right?"

The mature female professor gently bit her lip, her brows furrowed in distress. In truth... being able to fulfill this absurd request, let alone graduating with a doctorate, would be more than enough to become a professor.

only...

Even if someone becomes a professor as a result, achieving equality in status, he was still...he was once your student, and that fact cannot be erased.

"..."

"Shen Yanru!"

"Calm down, calm down... He... He may be exceptionally talented, but... but that's an NSC article, not something you can just publish whenever you want." Standing behind the door, Shen Yanru began to brainwash herself, trying to deny the future from a realistic perspective.

After several rounds of trials...

The mature female professor finally regained her usual composure. At this moment, she sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly at the ceiling above her head.

Think about it carefully...

That person is quite nice.

Although there are many men in the physics department, there are hardly any handsome ones. However, Chen Yu is incredibly handsome. His handsomeness is not the kind of cute puppy-like handsomeness, but a masculine handsomeness. The key is that he is also quite carefree, with a kind of unrestrained feeling.

Let alone female college students who haven't yet graduated, even voluptuous mature women sometimes find it hard to resist the charm of male hormones.

"Well..."

"There haven't been any rumors or gossip in recent years..."

Shen Yanru frowned as she searched for news about someone's romantic affairs on campus. She suddenly realized that the guy was actually quite decent, but this sense of relief didn't last long. When the mature female professor thought about how she had caught him on a blind date with some older woman a couple of days ago, she was furious.

"If you're not going to do it, then don't..."

"Every time they do it, it's earth-shattering!"

The mature female professor clenched her fists, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and muttered to herself in uncontrollable rage, "Why did she have to go on a blind date with her of all people?"

......

......

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, and the flowers seemed to be laughing happily.

Chen Yu woke up from his sleep, picked up his phone and glanced at it. He hadn't received any messages, and instantly let out a long sigh of relief...

After lingering in bed for a while until my mind was completely clear, I silently dialed Zhou Qihang's number.

"Feed?"

"Who is it?"

"What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Zhou Qihang's lazy voice came through the phone.

"It's me!"

"The danger is over, come back quickly!" Chen Yu said.

"..."

"I won't fall for that."

"You're obviously just trying to find a scapegoat..." Zhou Qihang instantly sobered up and said irritably, "Besides, I took seven days off, and this has only just begun. You're already telling me to go back. What a waste of my leave."

The voice just fell,

Chen Yu heard a strange woman's voice on the phone.

They said things like, "Tell him to keep his voice down," and "You're messing with his hair..."

"Dude."

"Just a few days ago, news broke that a graduate student from a certain university was expelled for... for what? And you still manage to pull this kind of stunt?" Chen Yu said irritably, "Are you tired of living?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm with my girlfriend, what... what are you thinking!" Zhou Qihang said seriously, "I'm very loyal to my girlfriend!"

Chen Yu was speechless for a moment. He knew that his good brother had a girlfriend, but he didn't know which girlfriend it was. To be precise... Zhou Qihang had quite a few girlfriends.

He's not actually that handsome, and he's a bit chubby, but he's incredibly wealthy and generous, so he has a lot of female admirers.

"In short..."

"You'd better be careful."

After hanging up the phone with Zhou Qihang, Chen Yu stretched, then quickly washed up, put on his clothes, and continued preparing the application materials for the doctoral program.

The materials such as basic personal information are quite simple, including so-called academic achievements and research ability proof. The difficulty lies in the research direction and content during the doctoral studies.

at first...

Chen Yu was only thinking about graduating with his doctorate as soon as possible and planned to study the field of two-dimensional materials. However, after the mature female professor made a request last night, he had to make a different choice. Although there are many opportunities to produce results in the field of two-dimensional materials and it is also easy to publish papers, the probability of reaching the level of NSC is lower than winning the lottery.

"Don't rush... Think about it carefully."

Chen Yu closed his eyes, rubbing his temples as he recalled the NSC-level physics achievements he had seen before his rebirth.

Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine. He remembered a very promising research direction in his field, and crucially, the results of this research were later published in the journal Nature.

"That's it!"

"Unconventional superconductivity!"

In the field of condensed matter physics today, superconductors are never in short supply. Chen Yu plans to explore the possibility of unconventional superconductivity in correlated lattice systems.

To be precise... it's not a possibility, it's a certainty.

However, Chen Yu had forgotten the specific content of that paper. He only remembered the title and the single crystal structure, and knew almost nothing else. This meant he had to start from scratch.

Simple reflection, calm analysis...

Chen Yu picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to a certain mature female professor.

[Chen Yu: Professor Shen, I have a great idea that I think could be published in Nature. Could we talk about it privately?]

......

......

Shen Yanru stayed in her office, looking at the message someone had sent, and fell silent for a moment. At the same time, an indescribable emotion surged from the depths of her heart and then took over her entire body.

he...

Is he actually serious?

Are you so eager to date me?
