1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 103: Return plan, two girls talk

Li Qiwei didn't know how shocking news it was in the eyes of some people that he was awarded the prize by the King of Sweden.

Thousands of miles away in the Qing Dynasty, his name had already spread throughout the country.

After suffering so many consecutive defeats, the Qing Dynasty's status in the world plummeted, and the people became extremely frustrated.

Now, his deeds are inspiring countless passionate young people. Once the time is ripe, they will be able to respond in unison and move forward in a mighty force.

As the Western calendar's New Year approaches, Li Qiwei has been going to the laboratory less often recently.

Because Thomson asked everyone in the laboratory to adjust their time appropriately to prepare for the arrival of Christmas.

In the West, Christmas is more important than New Year's Day and is almost equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.

It is a legal holiday in Western countries.

From kings and nobles to ordinary people, everyone would hold banquets and give each other gifts on December 12th.

There is also a secret Santa Claus who brings all kinds of novel gifts to children in unexpected ways.

The country will also hold a grand celebration ceremony and the whole nation will party together.

As for the night of December 12th, it is called Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, families will get together in advance to celebrate, sing, dance, tell stories and so on.

Now, Li Qiwei also follows the local customs and prepares rich food for everyone on Christmas Eve.

It was not British food, but various Chinese delicacies cooked by him and Xianglan together.

Li Qiwei's move shocked Xiang Lan, "Master, when did you learn how to cook?"

In her impression, her young master was ignorant of grains, so how could he be so proficient in making fire and cooking.

Li Qiwei scraped her nose and laughed, "I learned this secretly. I really can't stand the food standard in the UK. I feel it's not as good as our Tang Dynasty."

Especially the famous British dish "Stargazing Pie", which left him an indelible psychological trauma.

I really don't know why the British are so developed, but their food is so bad. The foreigners' oral tolerance is really strong.

In his previous life, Li Qiwei lived in a luxurious single room which even had a kitchen. He would cook for himself when he had nothing to do, and naturally developed good cooking skills.

When Li Qiwei and Xiang Lan served the various dishes, everyone immediately exclaimed.

Wang Luyao couldn't believe it and questioned: "Wow, Brother Qiwei, did you do all this? Could it be that Xianglan helped you?"

Li Qiwei smiled and said nothing. Xiang Lan quickly explained, "Sister Lu Yao, the young master did all this by himself. I was just helping him."

Wang Luyao's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "That's great. Brother Qiwei can cook for me every day from now on."

Everyone laughed as they heard this.

After Li Qiwei sat down, he glanced at everyone: Wang Luyao, Xiang Lan, Li San, He Yujie, Xia Yuanzhuo, and Xu Qitai.

He had mixed feelings in his heart. Each of them was willing to follow him because they trusted him.

Even though this requires separation from my family and suffering from homesickness, I still have no regrets.

Thinking of this, he felt particularly moved and a warm feeling flowed through his chest.

Li Qiwei raised his glass and looked at each of them in turn, with great enthusiasm: "Come, let's raise our glasses together and replace the Spring Festival with the Western Christmas."

"I hope everything will go well by the end of next year. By then, I will take you back home!"

"Wow!" Everyone was extremely excited, especially Li San and Xiang Lan, whose eyes were slightly red and their noses were sore.

Li Qiwei felt very distressed when he saw this, but he himself didn't feel anything. But it was different for the two of them. They hadn't been home for four or five years.

Wang Luyao saw the relationship between the master and servant, especially Xiang Lan, and she made a secret decision in her heart.

Li Qiwei decided to go back at the end of next year after careful consideration.

One is that they are worried that it will take too long and people may have emotional problems.

Secondly, he also needs to go back and see in person what the situation is in the country and whether there is any need to modify his plan.

Finally, he confronted his family, explained his future plans, and hoped that his family would support him unconditionally in the future.

He probably won't be able to stay in China for too long and will return to England again.

At this time, Xu Qitai saw that the atmosphere was a bit sad, so he wanted to mediate. He said jokingly: "Brother Li, can we graduate successfully next year?"

He Yujie and Xia Yuancong also nodded, they also wanted to know.

Although now the courses at Cambridge University are a piece of cake for them.

Because the three of them had gone through Li Qiwei's tactics of solving a large number of questions, they found other textbooks boring.

Without being modest, I can say that the three of them have learned almost everything.

But can a prestigious university like Cambridge University let anyone graduate early? Li Qiwei saw their worries and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with the dean of Trinity College, Sanders. As long as you can pass the graduation defense, you will definitely be allowed to graduate."

"I have also taken care of Vice Principal Cardwell."

"As for the thesis, I think it shouldn't be difficult given your current level."

All three of them smiled confidently.

Their current knowledge reserves have already crushed their peers in school.

And there is no need to publish a ground-shaking paper like Li Qiwei did.

Then, several people kept drinking, especially Li Qiwei, who drank the most and soon became a little tipsy.

With the help of Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan, he staggered into his room, muttering, "Don't worry, I'm not drunk."

After Wang Luyao put Li Qiwei on the bed, he pulled Xiang Lan to sit down at the desk.

"Xiang Lan, have you ever thought about your future life?"

"Ah? Sister Lu Yao, I haven't thought about it. I just want to follow the young master forever."

"Silly boy, your young master is going to marry me in the future, what are you going to do then?"

"Although I told you before that I would let you be my concubine, do you think it's fair?"

"You accompanied your young master to England a few years ago. The relationship between you two cannot be explained by master and servant."

At this point, Wang Luyao seemed to have made up his mind, "I plan to let Brother Qiwei marry you as his second wife in the future."

"Ah?" Xiang Lan exclaimed, then covered her mouth, afraid of waking up Li Qiwei.

Wang Luyao continued, "If you showed up after I came, I would definitely not let you go."

"But you have been taking care of Brother Qiwei for several years before me, and I don't think he has ever treated you as a maid."

"A man who values ​​love and loyalty like this is what I, Wang Luyao, like."

Although Xiang Lan is usually carefree, she is still very immature when it comes to feelings and her face blushed for a moment.

At this moment, Wang Luyao suddenly changed his heroic attitude and said hesitantly: "Well, these days, I see that Brother Qiwei is in great pain. How about you accompany him tonight?"

"You should know what to do, after all, you have been together for so long."

Xiang Lan almost retorted, water almost dripping from her face.

Ever since Wang Luyao came, she seemed to have learned everything on her own and had some understanding of that aspect.

Moreover, in private, the two sisters have a close relationship and can talk about anything, which sometimes even involves each other.

She didn't care about being misunderstood by the other party, because she would be the young master's person from now on anyway.

So she lowered her head, said nothing, and tangled her fingers around the corner of her clothes.

Wang Luyao smiled knowingly, and the little witch's desire to dominate began again.

She blew out the lights in the room, leaving only one candle, and then walked out of the room slowly.

On the bed, when Li Qiwei touched something, he sobered up instantly.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiang Lan covered his mouth with her hands and hugged him without saying a word.

Li Qiwei understood it, but he had already made the decision and had no regrets, so he said no more.

In the room, darkness fell and the candle flames flickered.

The candlelight sometimes moved forward, sometimes backward, as if gathering strength to pierce through the darkness.

And the darkness wants to embrace the candlelight and absorb its warmth.

The flame burned more and more vigorously, its high temperature made the darkness tremble, the boundless underworld began to shake, and a mysterious atmosphere began to spread.

As time went on, the candle flame flickered more and more violently, even igniting the air and making crackling sounds.

The darkness changed its strategy and no longer swallowed the candle by force. Instead, it gathered all its strength and tried to deal a fatal blow to the candlelight.

at last!

boom!
The flames suddenly exploded like a volcanic eruption, impacting the depths of darkness with unstoppable force.

At this moment, the sound of wind suddenly sounded in the room.

The darkness receded and the moon finally came out.

The white moonlight fell on the extinguished candle, where the warmth of the flame still remained.

"Master, hold me tight." Xiang Lan leaned her head weakly on Li Qiwei's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
