Is this what they call maternal aura?

The maturity that comes from within causes her to unconsciously exude an aura far beyond her peers, making people involuntarily recognize her as their mother, wanting to act coquettishly in her arms and enjoy the feeling of being gently cared for... What a terrifying ability!

Even he can't resist it!

Bird couldn't help but say: "**......."

But as soon as he said it, he realized that now was not the right time to say it, so he took it back decisively: "Ahem, I mean I want it too."

"Hey, Bird, do you want one too?"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, blinked, and smiled: "I really can't do anything about you."

Then the magician mother stretched out a white little hand that sparkled in the sun because of the oil stars and handed over a quail egg: "Come, open your mouth, ah..."

"what....."

Bird opened his mouth and took it with a satisfied expression.

Yes, this gentle feeling of being cared for, no wonder it is said that the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes, who can resist it?

"Is it delicious?" Sophia asked with a smile.

"It's delicious. I want more." Bird nodded decisively.

Sarah: “…?”

She paused in feeding Lillian, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

What's going on? Why are you suddenly feeding and playing? Can't you two be more careful in public?

Lillian opened her mouth and waited for a long time. Seeing that no one was feeding her, she continued to pick up the food on the table and eat silently.

However, while eating, she reviewed the results of her observations over the past few days.

.......I originally thought that the red-haired girl named Sarah was my brother's girlfriend, but she just kept denying it because she was shy. But then there was another blue-haired, much gentler girl named Sophia, who seemed more like my brother's girlfriend, and we often showed our affection.

And from the conversation, I learned that she seems to have an older sister named Avril.

"Brother's surroundings are such a mess..." she muttered, "It looks like survival is going to be very difficult."

But after looking at the delicious food in front of her, Lillian couldn't help swallowing again.

"No matter how hard it is, we must survive." She clenched her fists and encouraged herself, "Come on, Lillian, you can do it. You must play to your strengths."

Chapter 266 Wall Award Ceremony

After a few days of waiting, the day of the Wall Awards finally arrived.

In the spacious central meeting space with a high vaulted ceiling, in the solemn Yerevan Parliament Hall, standing on the podium, after a brief opening speech, the official start of the award ceremony was announced.

Immediately afterwards, Dan Sherman, chairman of the Wolf Foundation, walked up to the podium and officially announced the winners and the corresponding award speech.

"On the arduous journey toward solving the seven ultimate world problems facing humanity, mathematics is an important tool. The Aumann conjecture is undoubtedly an extremely important one among these tools. The solution to the Hermann conjecture has given us a possibility of solving the Aumann conjecture!"

"Let us thank Professor Sophia Gray for her contribution to the Hermann conjecture and sincerely hope to see the solution of the Aumann conjecture in our lifetime."

Finally it was Sophia's turn.

Amid the applause of the crowd in the parliament hall, Sophia adjusted the hem of her skirt.

Her expression remained calm, but her pounding heart and rapid breathing could not be hidden from Bird, who was standing next to her.

"nervous?"

Bird asked, looking down.

"A little bit." Sophia bit her lip. "I thought I wouldn't be emotionally affected by outside comments anymore, but I found out I was wrong. At the Wall Awards ceremony, listening to the foundation's chairman's speech and feeling this recognition from the human world, I couldn't help but feel nervous and excited..."

"What I thought was peaceful was just my own peace of mind. I still can't get rid of it."

"This is normal."

Bird smiled faintly. "As long as people are alive, they are inevitably influenced by the opinions of the outside world. Those who are truly unaffected by this are called machines, not humans."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and tightly grasped Sophia's slightly cold and smooth little hand.

Feeling the warmth from Bird's palm, Sophia's intense heartbeat gradually calmed down, and her rapid breathing also gradually slowed down.

"Thank you, I feel much better." Sophia said.

"Much better now, go claim your prize, Miss Great Magician," Bird said with a smile. "People are still waiting for you."

Just as he said, the parliament hall was eerily quiet at this moment. Everyone was quietly waiting for the winner to take the stage, without any sign of impatience.

"Ah."

Sophia responded, raised her head again, and walked onto the platform with a confident calmness.

"Congratulations, Professor Sophia."

Dan Sherman, chairman of the foundation, handed the medal and certificate to the winner, who could almost be his granddaughter.

"Thank you." Sophia smiled and nodded at him, then took the medal and certificate.

At this moment, the parliament hall, which had been extremely quiet just now, was filled with applause like a storm. Magicians, politicians, artists, and scholars from all over the world were cheering for this rising star in the magic world and the hope of the future of mankind.

This recognition also made Sophia's inner emotions reach a peak at this moment, but it did not make her feel nervous.

Her breathing was even and long, her expression was confident and calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

This is her achievement. There is no need to worry about anything. Whether other people's evaluation is positive or negative, the Hermann conjecture has been solved and is there. No one can change or question it.

With a slight nod to the guests present, Sophia walked down the podium with the medal and certificate.

Sarah immediately came over, looking at the golden medal hanging around her neck with envy, and couldn't help but ask, "Sophina, Sophia, can I touch your medal?"

"of course can."

Sophia handed the certificate to Bird, took the medal off her neck, and handed it to Sarah.

At this time, she had nothing on her. The precious medals and certificates were no longer in her hands, but no one would doubt that her honor would disappear along with the medals and certificates.

Sarah took the golden medal and played with it for a while. She liked it more and more.

Alas, what a pity, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not hers.

Thinking of this, she sighed, and finally returned it reluctantly, but at the same time, a somewhat bold idea arose in her mind.

By the way, do I have a chance to win a similar grand prize?

I remember that there seems to be a literature award among the Nobel Prizes... Well, then again, I'm just a coder following someone else's outline, can I really win the award...

Thinking of this, Sarah secretly glanced at Bird.

......

The awards ceremony is just the beginning.

There were also celebrations related to the Wall Awards, and a banquet was held in the banquet hall on the first floor of the Mamilla Hotel.

I don’t know if this is to get closer to some previous award, or if it is usually arranged this way, but the process is basically the same.

Including local ministers and other politicians, everyone gathered in the banquet hall, toasting each other, the atmosphere was warm and happy, and no one would cause conflict on this day when everyone was unhappy.

Sophia, who usually never drinks, was also infected by the atmosphere. She drank a few glasses of champagne and chatted with other magicians present with rosy cheeks.

As this was her first time winning such an important award, it was also her first opportunity to integrate into this world-class circle of magicians. Others were happy to accept a Wall Award winner into the group, congratulating her on her achievement and discussing their own ideas.

"Your panmagicism is very interesting."

Les Anderson, a former Wall Award winner and magician, said: "Although I don't agree with the idea of ​​everyone learning magic, the magic community does need some fresh blood."

Thanks to Bird's diligent distribution of flyers these days, quite a few magicians have learned about the concept of panmagicism, and after learning that this year's Wall Award winner supports it, they have taken it upon themselves to learn more about it.

"Indeed, looking around, this banquet hall is full of old people."

Another magician named Raymond Zimmerman smiled. "Of course, besides you, Professor Sophia, there are still too few geniuses like you, and they are not stable. We need more core forces in magic research to steadily advance the advancement of magic."

Sophia nodded: "What do those seniors plan to do?"

Although I don't agree with pan-magicism, as long as I can agree with some of it, it will be a huge progress.

"After returning home, I plan to promote policies that lower the requirements for studying magic, as well as related scholarships," Les Anderson stated frankly. "Even if magical talent is low, research in magic circles and mathematics is still possible."

"Perhaps this is actually a good thing, allowing these people to focus on their research instead of relying on their magical talents to take unorthodox paths."

This is the influence that comes with success.

Before winning the Wall Award, even if Sofia personally came to the stage and talked about it, these people would not move a ear. But now that she has won the Wall Award, even if Bird is just there to advertise, these people will seriously consider it.

Chapter 267 I've reached my limit of patience

Sophia had a very pleasant conversation with several senior members of the wizarding world.

Several people reached a consensus on the issue of expanding the magician group and discussed specific methods.

In the past, only those with a certain level of magical talent were allowed to enter magic schools to study magic. This ensured the threshold and treatment of the magician group, but with the development of the times, the impact of the small number of magicians gradually became apparent.

Research in the field of magic stagnated. At the same time, due to the lack of hope for success in research and the problem of resource allocation, the already scarce number of magicians simply gave up magic research and chose to rely on their magical talents to make money and enjoy life, further worsening the research environment. As a result, there were few young people choosing to engage in magic research, leaving only a group of old guys to take up the responsibility.

Now is the time to lower the threshold for some magicians and increase the number of magicians.

In short, it is about expanding enrollment.

Everyone present was an influential figure in the magic field. The discussion here was not just empty talk, but something that could actually affect specific policies. So Sophia discussed it very seriously and expressed her ideas.

The unified magic schools will be divided into basic schools and higher education schools.

Basic colleges recruit students widely, and those with average magical talent can also be admitted. Ordinary lecturers will teach them some basic magic learning and release. After completing their studies, they can do whatever they like, which can also save professors' manpower. After these people pass the knowledge test called the "College Entrance Examination", they can enter higher magic colleges to truly conduct magic research.

"Why is it called the 'Gaokao'? Is there any deep meaning behind it?" Professor Rice asked in confusion.

Bird on the side: “.......”

The National College Entrance Examination, isn’t that the college entrance examination?

Sophia glanced at Bird and casually explained, "It's the Advanced Magic Knowledge Examination Selection, or Gaokao for short."

"So that's how it is." Professor Rice understood.

Several people were chatting enthusiastically.

Unfortunately, perhaps because she was too excited or because of the effect of alcohol, Sophia soon became a little dizzy while chatting, and was visibly confused.

"Sorry, I have to leave first."

Supporting the dazed Sophia, Bird apologized to the magicians who were talking to Sophia and returned to his room upstairs in the hotel.

The big bed in the room is soft and spacious.

Although it was a hotel room, after Sophia had stayed there for a few days, the air was already filled with the sweet and delicious aroma of blueberries.

Normally, Bird liked to let Sophia sit on his lap, then secretly bury his nose in the girl's hair and take a deep breath of the pleasant smell, which would make him energetic for the whole day.

At this time, Bird helped the dazed Sophia to the bed, helped her take off her leather shoes, revealing two soft feet wrapped in white silk, and then pinched them.

"Bird......?"

When taking off his shoes, Sophia seemed to come back to her senses a little, and looked at him with hazy eyes: "Did you just play with my feet?"

"I do not have."

Bird's face was calm, with a gentlemanly expression: "You've had too much to drink. I'm helping you get to bed and rest, so I'm helping you take off your shoes."

"hey-hey."

Sophia smiled and said, "Don't deny it. I played it, so I played it."

The girl was obviously a little drunk at this time. Her cheeks were a beautiful pink and her way of speaking had become a little different.

Bird didn't say anything. He helped the girl to the bed with a little guilt, then turned around and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he felt a small hand pulling weakly at the corner of his clothes.

"Don't go." Sophia said.

"What's wrong?" Bird stopped and turned around to ask.

"Can you stay?" Sophia asked softly.

"what?"

Bird was stunned for a moment.
