Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 226 kicks off (8k)

2009年9月12日8点50分，晴。

The east playground of Capital University is filled with folding chairs. Students who officially enrolled in Capital University in 2009 are entering the playground one by one and sitting in their seats under the guidance of college leaders and counselors.

There are not many people from Yuanpei College compared to the entire school, and the viewing seats are relatively in the middle.

Jiang Huanxi and his roommates sat down together.

Her feet were on the lush green lawn, but her eyes were always on the small platform.

【2009 Opening Ceremony of Capital University】.

Kyoto University did not seem to have spent much money on this opening ceremony. Even the banner was so simple that it didn't even have the school emblem printed on it.

Jiang Huanxi had no intention of listening to the excited girls chattering around her. She was intently looking towards the edge of the stage, wanting to see where her boyfriend was.

However, before she could find Xu Qingshan, the freshmen had already taken their seats.

"stand up."

It was 9 o'clock and the national anthem sounded. Jiang Huanxi also saw her boyfriend, who was originally sitting next to her in the preparation shed next to the small platform, stood up quickly and saluted the national flag after hearing the national anthem.

"Dear classmates, we are gathered together today."

Deputy Secretary Zhang of Beijing University stood behind the podium and presided over the opening ceremony.

Even though it was boring to attend the introduction of the leaders and guests, it was extremely worthy of attention for these freshmen who had not seen the world yet.

"Senior party official Min Weifang, President Zhou Qifeng, Executive Vice President Wu Zhipan, Vice President Yue Sulan. Teacher representative, Professor Pan Wenshi of the School of Life Sciences, and Mr. Jiang Xueyuan, Honorary Director of Jingcheng University and Chairman and General Manager of Pengcheng Jianghua Industrial Co., Ltd., were invited to attend the opening ceremony."

Jiang Huanxi was not interested in listening to these things at all.

She had no interest in those old men.

After senior party official Min Weifang read out the commendation document for the Mountain Eagle Society of Jingcheng University, there was another long and boring speech.

The speech by President Zhou Qifeng, an academician, was both red and professional.

"This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We wish our great motherland prosperity. Throughout the history of more than a hundred years, Beijing University has been closely linked to the fate of the country and the nation without exception. It has always made important contributions to promoting national development, social progress, and national rejuvenation with its fearless spirit of reform and successive spirit of sacrifice. There is no other university in the world that is so closely related to the fate of the country and the nation."

When it was the turn of Professor Pan Wenshi, the teacher representative, to speak, Jiang Huanxi began to concentrate, sit upright, and patiently listen to Professor Pan, who was wearing a white baseball cap on the stage, sharing his life journey from when he first entered Yanyuan as a young man to when he became a professor at Peking University and dedicated himself to scientific research.

But no matter what the previous leaders said, the university's opening speeches did not deviate from the major topics such as "red and expert", "responsibility", "social development", etc.

This made the young people in the audience, who were only about 16 or 17 years old, very bored. When the long and boring program was over, it was almost half past ten. The sun in the sky had become much bigger, and many students had already started to take a nap with their eyes squinted.

But Jiang Huanxi knew that the next person would not do that.

After Professor Pan stepped down, Deputy Secretary Zhang wiped the sweat off his chubby face and spoke quickly, his lips burning.

"Next, we welcome the representative of the Class of 09, Xu Qingshan from Yuanpei College."

"Xu Qingshan is the first candidate to score full marks in all subjects since the resumption of the college entrance examination in my country. He actively communicated with the School of Mathematics of our university before admission. He successfully published an SCI journal paper in the field of probability and statistics as an independent author, and his paper in the field of machine learning was included in the ICML conference. He has proved the general form of the twin prime conjecture and will soon publish it in the four top journals "Annals of Mathematics" as an independent author. Next, please allow Xu Qingshan to give a speech."

Although Deputy Secretary Zhang speaks a little too fast.

But the students present heard clearly what he had just introduced.

Xu Qingshan was a little surprised in the audience. The School of Mathematics has now published the papers that have not yet been successfully included and published. They have great confidence in themselves and are not afraid of being rejected by the "Annals of Mathematics" and causing a big mistake?

But it makes sense. Tian Gang has been spying on the results in the "Annals of Mathematics".

only.

The feeling of having others talk about your achievements is quite different from the feeling of showing off yourself.

Xu Qingshan actually had more introductions as a student than any other leader.

But the leaders sitting on the podium had warm smiles on their faces.

It’s simple, they are in education.

Only when students are awesome can they appear more awesome.

After hearing about the special treatment Xu Qingshan received before going on stage, the students who were originally a little sleepy perked up and planned to take a look at this "new internet celebrity" who was much discussed online.

"Is this guy so handsome?"

"He has a good figure. He can obviously make a living with his face, so why is he so strong?"

"Proved the general form of the twin prime conjecture? What is that? It sounds very powerful."

"Nonsense! You haven't studied mathematics and don't understand the value of the Annals of Mathematics. Let me put it this way, even if he wants to become a professor in our School of Mathematics now, it will only take a few minutes."

Amid the sudden uproar of discussion in the audience, Xu Qingshan walked up to the podium in a relaxed manner.

He didn't spend much time outside in the sun this summer, so he looks a lot whiter.

Although his life has been less disciplined and restrained recently, his figure has not changed.

He is white, tall, handsome and has a good figure.

Xu Qingshan's painting style is really not on the same level as other students. His painting style is superior.

Xu Qingshan first smiled and nodded at the school leaders who were looking at him expectantly, then he reached for the microphone.

Although he did not stand in a very orthodox posture, he prepared to start his speech by leaning slightly sideways towards the microphone, looking very relaxed.

Xu Qingshan knew very well that university speeches and high school speeches were two different things.

He spoke with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Do you know?"

"I've never really understood why people are less nervous when they say they should imagine everyone is a frog when giving a speech."

"To be honest, I find it quite scary."

Xu Qingshan's speaking style is completely different from that of other leaders.

The students who had originally just looked up to see what Xu Qingshan looked like and were about to lower their heads and continue dozing off raised their heads again.

"After all, the scene of a person talking to thousands of quiet little frogs would be considered a horror movie by anyone, right? Even if it is a fairy tale, it is a dark fairy tale. If you haven't heard of this, I will tell you about it next time."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Although Xu Qingshan's speech was not serious at all at the beginning, none of the leaders on the stage showed any dissatisfaction.

After all, he is the son of the School of Mathematics.

No, it would be more accurate to describe him as the Prince of the Imperial Court.

"You can have this!"

Someone in the audience shouted that this was the hottest gag in this year's Spring Festival Gala skit.

"Yeah, I understand. After all, our school is not short of money."

Xu Qingshan quickly took over the joke, which made the atmosphere more interactive.

"well, let's get back to business."

Xu Qingshan coughed and smiled brightly. Anyone who saw him would say that he was a sunny and cheerful boy.

"Good afternoon, students and teachers."

“I am honored that I can let all of you students be represented.”

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

There was also some good-natured laughter from the audience.

A speech like Xu Qingshan's, which occasionally throws in a few of the hottest memes of 2009, can make students more interested.

"Of course, to everyone, I may represent loneliness."

"After all, people may not know me. If they do, they might just point at me and say, 'Oh! This is the emoji guy!'"

The laughter in the East Playground became even more cheerful.

"Of course, if you want to see more emoticons, you can follow me on Sina Weibo. I will also surf the Internet and eat my own melons as soon as I finish my work."

"But I want to say that I'm glad that everyone is here today."

"Because right now, in 2009, the world is full of crises."

Xu Qingshan did not bring a speech, but just kept looking at the freshmen with a smile.

“Economic crisis.”

“Gaza exchange of fire.”

"Plane crash."

“Global warming.”

“Influenza A (H1N1).”

"Facial acne."

Xu Qingshan paused, and everyone on and off the stage was stunned.

What is facial acne?
"Oh, it's commonly known as acne."

Dou: Brother, what qualifications do I have to be on par with the ones above?
Everyone was confused when Xu Qingshan didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, everyone started laughing.

"Although we are facing so many world crises, we have still managed to be admitted to Jingcheng University, the top university in our China."

"So please give a little applause to ourselves for being so outstanding."

There was thunderous applause in the East Playground.

The atmosphere, which had been depressing due to the school leaders' boring speeches, finally became lively after Xu Qingshan's continuous speeches.

Xu Qingshan also smiled and applauded. He could clearly feel that the spirits of the thousands of young people present had suddenly been awakened.

"It took us twelve years to overcome all difficulties and become the most handsome guy in the village. We came to Beijing University."

"We were young, ignorant, and timid. As freshmen, we came to this rumored great yet strange school."

"I said something that was disrespectful to the leaders and teachers."

"In fact, when the teachers were talking about responsibility and greatness just now, I believe that most of us young people were only thinking about one question in our heads."

The leaders on the podium kept smiling, but their hearts were skipping a beat.

Is this kid trying to make trouble?

"Will there be chicken legs in the cafeteria for lunch today?"

Xu Qingshan's words made everyone nervous, but they were relieved and laughed out loud at the answer.

“For us, it seems that greatness and responsibility are too far away from us. We are anxious about the future and we can’t see the direction of life. We don’t know where we will go or what kind of shore we will eventually reach.”

“As Charles Dickens said, it is the best of times, it is the worst of times.”

“Maybe we don’t know how to take responsibility.”

“But time will pass quickly.”

"This time next year, we will be standing in the audience watching the new students coming into the school, and for 365 days, we will be called seniors."

"In the third year, we already started thinking about graduation and whether to continue further study or find a job."

"In the fourth year, we were already ready to say goodbye to campus."

"We may not set any goals. Just like when we were in high school, we all probably heard our teachers say, 'You are the worst class I have ever taught.' But when we graduated, the teacher said we were the best."

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, many people in the audience echoed him.

"But in fact, you and I both know very well that we will not be the best class in Beijing University, nor will we be the worst class."

“Because there is no worst class at Kyoto University, and I hope the best class will always be the next one.”

After Xu Qingshan said this, Principal Zhou at the podium had already started applauding.

When the applause died down a bit, Xu Qingshan stood up a little, with a bright look on his face, raised his eyebrows and said to the freshmen.

"But I think we can leave a special impression on our lovely party secretary, principal, and other leaders four years from now. They will never forget us in their lifetime. Ten years or even decades later, someone will mention the Class of 09 to them."

"Our principal Zhou just slapped his head."

"Oh! You mean the class that is the most coquettish in Kyoto University?"

The audience burst into laughter again.

"But all this is four years later."

"Now is the time when we are just starting our college career and it is still a blank slate."

“At Capital University, we have unprecedented opportunities. Now is the time for us to save the world and find and pursue our dreams.”

"For example, I dreamed last night that I won the Fields Medal. I wanted to gnaw on the trophy, but I woke up before I could do so. I was so scared that I quickly checked my ID card. Fortunately, I'm only 18 years old, so I still have a chance."

"I think everyone should be like me, wanting to realize their dreams to the extreme, and then stand at the end of this field with their hands on their hips and leave a line of words. When those who come after see it, they will know, humph, I have been here!"

There was another round of chuckles from the audience, but some people began to realize what Xu Qingshan wanted to express.

Xu Qingshan continued.

“It seems that we have a hard time defining greatness, and it seems that we have a hard time defining success.”

“They say all roads lead to Rome.”

“But some people are born in Rome, some try to get to Rome, and finally some spend their whole lives on the road to Rome.”

“We can’t rely on having a good birth, nor can we run around with our heads down all our lives.”

“What we need to remember is that opportunities are fleeting and success never waits for anyone.”

"You know, our great New China also started from scratch, from nothing to something, just like all of you here."

“Even though we may encounter many setbacks and failures in life, even though we may just be ordinary people who are relatively smart.”

“But greatness can also come from being ordinary.”

“Whether it’s being recognized by the whole world or becoming someone admired by everyone.”

“There are still only a few recognitions.”

“Our success and greatness come from the family, teachers, and friends around us, those who do their best to help us, the unsung heroes in our lives, and those who are happy for your smile.”

“If this short speech today can inspire you, I think it should be [I want to leave a name for my dream] and [achieve greatness], rather than how to strive for money and fame.”

“It’s about giving those who walk with you along the way a little more happiness and hope.”

Xu Qingshan's expression was serious but not solemn, and full of sincerity.

The freshmen who were originally laughing and lively also restrained their smiles at this time, and a thoughtful look flashed across their faces. They seemed to have some feelings in Xu Qingshan's words and found a unique sense of identity.

"We are here today, and it will be the same four years from now. What we are competing for is not your GPA, the quality of your thesis, the number of girlfriends you have had, or how much money you have made."

Xu Qingshan's eyes were bright, and his voice came through the microphone and the speakers, echoing throughout the entire East Playground.

"It's about our friendship, our dreams, and our unfinished business."

“It’s who we will become.”

"These are the most meaningful things and should be passed down." "I am honored to be your classmate, and I sincerely hope that you will have a bright future."

"I also hope that one day in the future, when we stand at the forefront of China and move forward step by step for ourselves, our friends, our families and our teachers, we can see each other beside us."

"At that time, I think in each other's eyes, we were both successful and great."

“My friend, your greatness has nothing to do with fame or fortune.”

"Because it's you, that's all."

"Thank you."

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, a gentle smile returned to his face. He took a step back, bowed to the audience, and then saluted towards the stage.

In fact, there was no substantial teaching or sharing in his speech.

But such a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere really made the freshmen present listen to Xu Qingshan's speech.

This speech was also recorded by the New Media Center of Beijing University.

Not to mention what happens next.

But at this time, in the eyes of the freshmen of Beijing University in 2009, Xu Qingshan is no longer just an abstract character symbol or a man existing in legend.

He is a lively classmate with a gentle but convincing energy.

Although the students of Peking University are extremely intelligent and can quickly get out of even a brief period of confusion, Xu Qingshan's speech undoubtedly added more spiritual strength to them.

It dispelled their confusion and fear about the new environment.

Walking down from the podium amid thunderous applause from the audience, Xu Qingshan headed straight towards Yuanpei College.

Jiang Huanxi only had Xu Qingshan in her eyes from beginning to end while sitting on the stage.

At this moment, her eyes were flashing with excitement, and her mind was filled with some thoughts that she was too embarrassed to speak out.

He really shines.

But no matter how dazzling he is, he is mine.

"Little ostrich, come back to your senses."

Jiang Huanxi was still daydreaming when a big hand stretched out in front of her and waved in front of her. The tall figure also blocked the sunlight falling on Jiang Huanxi.

"hold head high?"

Jiang Huanxi came back to his senses.

Xu Qingshan was standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

Even though the classmates around them were looking at them with all kinds of eyes at this time, Xu Qingshan did not avoid it at all. Instead, he leaned down slightly, approached Jiang Huanxi, and asked softly.

"Excuse me, classmate Jiang Huanxi, is the seat next to you reserved for me?"

He did it on purpose, and the students around him all looked over.

"Ok?"

The moment Jiang Huanxi became aware of the gazes around her, her face was tanned red by the sun.

The little head was emitting heat visibly, as if steam was constantly coming out of her head into the air.

Although Jiang Huanxi didn't say anything, she subconsciously picked up the canvas bag placed on the empty space next to her, held it between her knees, and wanted to bury her head.

"Thank you."

Xu Qingshan looked at Jiang Huanxi's shy appearance and thought she was quite adorable. He sat down next to Jiang Huanxi, took the canvas bag from Jiang Huanxi's arms, and reached out his hand to hold up Jiang Huanxi's head which was about to be buried in the ground.

"Wait, you'll lose your balance and fall."

Xu Qingshan said softly, then he held Jiang Huanxi's head on his shoulder with his hand, and held Jiang Huanxi's hand with his other empty hand.

This instantly broke the hearts of the boys and girls around them into many pieces.

Especially girls.

Although Jiang Huanxi is cute, she has always been sitting in the Yuanpei College team. All the students in the college know that Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi are in love because they never hide from people when they are in the college.

The main reason was that the freshmen from other colleges nearby were secretly paying attention to Jiang Huanxi.

But Xu Qingshan is different.

Not to mention that Xu Qingshan's appearance is too eye-catching, his height makes it difficult for girls not to pay attention to him.

Moreover, Xu Qingshan's radiant appearance on the podium just now was simply like a real comic book man.

In stark contrast to the boys of the same grade who don't know how to dress themselves up, Xu Qingshan's image as a male god is unquestionable.

Many girls' hearts fluttered when Xu Qingshan walked down from the podium.

It is no exaggeration to say that some people have even thought about what to name their children with Xu Qingshan.

But one second you were just dreaming about falling in love, and the next second your idol was sitting next to a cute beauty, interacting with her so intimately.

This dream was shattered too quickly.

Jiang Huanxi no longer had the energy to think about what had happened, and she didn't come to her senses until the opening ceremony was over.

Xu Qingshan sat there calmly, and nodded in a friendly manner to the teachers who looked over here because of the small commotion.

His speech today actually did not have any very utilitarian purpose.

I just want to slightly improve my prestige and influence in Kyoto University.

After this incident, he believes that both school leaders at all levels and freshmen of the same class will remember him vividly.

This positive impression will have a subtle influence on subsequent development.

This is a deep level of persuasion.

It was not until Jiang Huanxi was carried back to Yan Dongyuan's home by Xu Qingshan and lay in the room for a long time that Jiang Huanxi slowly recovered under the cool air of the air conditioner.

"Xu Qingshan!"

Jiang Huanxi called out Xu Qingshan's name in a rare excited tone.

She suddenly sat up from the bed and looked towards the door.

"To!"

Xu Qingshan's figure immediately appeared at the door, wearing an apron around his waist, holding a spatula in his hand, and sweat all over his head.

Jiang Huanxi originally wanted to blame Xu Qingshan, but when she saw Xu Qingshan, her heart softened a bit. She could only pout unhappily, stand up and sit like a duck, staring at Xu Qingshan with her big watery eyes, making Xu Qingshan feel scared.

"Huanxi, what's wrong?"

Xu Qingshan said with a helpless smile.

He knew in his heart that today's operation, with everyone's eyes on me, caused Jiang Huanxi, who considered himself to be extremely socially anxious, to crash.

But at this time he would never admit that he did it on purpose!
"I'm cooking. For lunch today, I'll make the chicken wings we bought last night. I'll make you cola chicken wings, and I'll also cook some vegetables from our hometown. I'll go over and cook first, in case they get burnt."

Jiang Huanxi continued to look at Xu Qingshan, with tears in her eyes.

isn't it?
Are you crying now?

Xu Qingshan quickly put down the spatula and untied the strings of his apron, then he heard Jiang Huanxi speaking coquettishly to him.

"Want a hug."

Looking at the girl's eyes that seemed like they were about to burst into tears in the next second, and the pair of hands that had already stretched out towards his neck, Xu Qingshan smiled helplessly and dotingly, and quickly leaned down to embrace the emotionally unstable girl.

Feeling the girl's delicate body getting closer to him in his arms, Xu Qingshan heard the girl's whispered explanation.

"It's not that I don't want everyone to know that we are in a relationship."

"It's not that I don't want to be intimate with you."

"That's it. That's it"

The girl's voice was tearful and she spoke in a coquettish tone.

"There were just too many people, and I was stared at by so many people. I felt very strange and uncomfortable."

"It won't happen next time."

Xu Qingshan patted the girl's back gently and comforted her.

He also didn't expect Jiang Huanxi to react so strongly to being the center of attention.

The so-called social phobia did not seem to be just her self-perception, but rather a definite physical reaction, which made Xu Qingshan feel a little guilty.

It's not just about today.

There was also the fact that I neglected Jiang Huanxi's situation in my previous life.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Jiang Huanxi put her face on Xu Qingshan's shoulder, put her hands on Xu Qingshan's back, and hugged him tighter.

"Actually, I don't hate this kind of declaration of sovereignty."

Jiang Huanxi's pink lips, which were like peach jelly, moved softly as she leaned into Xu Qingshan's ear and whispered.

“I’m actually very happy.”

"I will slowly adjust and get used to being noticed by everyone."

As Jiang Huanxi was speaking, Xu Qingshan pulled her away and they looked into each other's eyes.

"It doesn't have to be like this."

Xu Qingshan said.

"But you are very famous in school now. Not only the freshmen know you, but the seniors will also know you soon. If I am with you, I will also face these eyes with you. What I mean is..."

Jiang Huanxi withdrew one hand and scratched his little head.

She didn't know how to express her thoughts. She wanted to stand with Xu Qingshan, even if it meant being under the spotlight.

This kind of honor for others is a tormenting pressure for her.

But for Xu Qingshan, she was willing to accept other people's attention.

"I want your future with me to be one of freedom."

Xu Qingshan stared into Jiang Huanxi's beautiful eyes and said seriously.

"I am free now. I want to do anything with you and you will do it with me. I am very happy."

Jiang Huanxi wrinkled her nose, trying to show her playfulness to Xu Qingshan.

But at this moment, she was still a little timid and anxious about facing the gaze.

But Xu Qingshan shook his head.

“For me, freedom is not about doing what you want, but about not doing what you don’t want.”

"This kind of focused attention is not always needed. It is only occasionally needed. The rest of the time, we just need to read our books and do our research."

"Those material possessions and intangible things are in no way comparable to you."

Xu Qingshan gently stroked the girl's hair and spoke slowly.

"Want to kiss."

The girl responded to Xu Qingshan's heartwarming words with initiative and action.

The two young boys and girls who were enjoying their youth were acting recklessly. Several buttons of Jiang Huanxi's clothes had been undone, and Xu Qingshan's hands were playing around inside her clothes.

The girl's tender face, the slowly spreading blush, and the suppressed moan all drove Xu Qingshan to move slowly towards the next step.

"Zizzizi!"

But the sound coming from the kitchen on the other side of the balcony suddenly woke up the two young men.

"ah!"

Jiang Huanxi's eyes suddenly became clear, and she gently pushed Xu Qingshan away with a blushing face.

"Go to the kitchen and make sure it doesn't catch fire."

"Ok."

Xu Qingshan reluctantly withdrew his hand, clenched it twice, and savored the taste secretly.

But the girl also saw his actions and gently pushed Xu Qingshan again.

"Go quickly."

"Good good."

Xu Qingshan put on his apron again, picked up the spatula and went back into the kitchen.

Jiang Huanxi was not idle either. She got up, tidied her clothes, made the bed, and started cleaning the room with a broom and mop.

Late summer, early autumn.

There are many more trees in Yandong Garden than in ordinary communities.

The cicadas' chirping became less and less frequent, as if they had gradually completed their mission and were buried back in the soil, turning into nutrients for the next chirping.

The afternoon sun shines on the balcony window on the 18th floor of Building 5.

The sunlight coming through the window will emit less heat, and the cool air from the air conditioner in the house, paired with iced watermelon juice, is refreshing.

Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi were sitting at the small dining table in the house, enjoying a loving lunch just for the two of them.

"The cola chicken wings are better. You eat more chicken wings. I'll eat these two dishes."

After tasting the three dishes, Xu Qingshan pursed his lips and passed the chicken wing to Jiang Huanxi, and moved the other two dishes in front of himself. One was the bitter melon fried eggs that could make people bitter, and the other was the oyster omelet that was completely shapeless and looked like a broken pancake.

“I think they’re all delicious!”

Jiang Huanxi stretched out her chopsticks to Xu Qingshan's side, picked up some of the bitter melon and oyster omelet, tasted them, and swallowed them without changing her expression.

"But I'll do it from now on. I often cook at home on weekends."

Jiang Huanxi said.

"Our great genius Xu should spend more time on academics!"

Looking at the cute and smart girl in front of him, Xu Qingshan suddenly remembered the time when they first met, when she reluctantly helped him out with one dollar and said that she had already paid the humiliation fee to him.

This kind of life seems to be pretty good.

But this is just a thought.

Because starting tomorrow, Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi, the two test-taker kings who have chosen multiple courses, will have their own extremely rich course schedules.

The real college life has already begun.

I’m posting last night’s update. Since it’s too late, I’ll just combine it into one chapter.
