Chapter 255 The Little Ostrich Taking the Initiative

Chapter 255 The Little Ostrich Taking the Initiative (6k)

Olivia had thought of many scenarios of meeting Xu Qingshan, and had also prepared many versions of the first sentences when they met.

But she had never imagined that it would be a scene like this.

The person I want to meet is right in front of me. The sky above the glass sky is clear and the plane flies through the clouds, forming a dividing line.

But his hand was holding another girl's hand.

With just one glance, the colors of the world are fading quickly.

Urged by her companions and supported by the team, Olivia finally stood in front of Xu Qingshan. Her eyes and mood were equally complicated.

"Professor Davis, welcome to China."

As the core figure of this academic exchange, Xu Qingshan took the initiative to extend his hand to Professor Davis with a polite smile.

"Xu, it's nice to see you again. I think we will be able to create better sparks this time."

Professor Davis was not arrogant. He shook Xu Qingshan's hands enthusiastically with both of them, and his face was smiling so much that wrinkles were almost showing.

"Olivia misses you too. She often asks me in the group when I will come to China."

However, Professor Davis' next words directly hit Xu Qingshan with a punch.

Xu Qingshan could clearly feel Jiang Huanxi beside him holding his hands tighter.

"Then it seems that Olivia plays a very important role in the professor's team."

Xu Qingshan answered naturally.

He immediately looked at Olivia who was still looking at Jiang Huanxi.

"Olivia, welcome to China as well."

Before Olivia could answer, Xu Qingshan gently pulled Jiang Huanxi beside him.

"This is my girlfriend."

Xu Qingshan introduced it generously.

His eyes were pure, passionate yet polite.

This represents his position.

Just when Xu Qingshan was worried that Xiao Jiang would be shy due to social phobia and was about to continue introducing Jiang Huanxi a little more, he found that the girl next to him moved.

"Hello, Professor Davis, Miss Olivia. I am Qingshan's girlfriend and his assistant in mathematics."

Xu Qingshan turned around with some surprise, looking at the girl whose aura seemed to have changed.

If we say that Jiang Huanxi used to like burying his head in the ground most of the time, he would have the idea that escape is shameful but useful.

The girl in front of Xu Qingshan at this moment looked like a fighting ostrich about to fight someone.

"Haha, hello, hello."

Professor Davis was stunned for a moment, then smiled and responded to Jiang Huanxi in the newly learned Chinese.

"Xu, how about you introduce Mei and I to each other first?"

If Professor Davis cannot see what his favorite student is thinking, he has lived for fifty years in vain.

"Davis..."

Xu Qingshan frowned and was about to refuse, regardless of the cooperation or anything else.

For Xu Qingshan, after discovering the other party's intentions, protecting Jiang Huanxi's feelings became his top priority.

If it is academic cooperation, he welcomes it.

If he wanted to smuggle something in, you can't blame him for being ruthless.

Olivia did have a unique charm, but firstly, he and Olivia had no substantial relationship, and secondly...

After all, for Xu Qingshan, it is hard to find anyone more important than Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong.

At least in his stubborn heart, he owed them this.

But before Xu Qingshan could say anything.

Jiang Huanxi, who had quietly observed Xu Qingshan's expression and was familiar with Xu Qingshan's character, spoke first.

"Qingshan, you chat with Professor Davis and Dean Mei, and leave the reception of Olivia and the others to me."

Jiang Huanxi let go of Xu Qingshan's hand.

Meeting that pair of determined and courageous eyes, this repeated initiative made Xu Qingshan feel Jiang Huanxi's choice.

He was silent for a moment.

"it is good."

He chose to believe that Jiang Huanxi was capable of handling these things.

Xu Qingshan and Professor Davis went to find Mei Hong, who was rubbing her hands and waiting for Xu Qingshan to finish reminiscing about the past. Chen Dayue also came to join in the fun.

As they walked, the reception staff of Kyoto University took the initiative to guide them to the route out of the airport and the reception bus.

The three professors and Xu Qingshan were walking and chatting in front of the team.

A little distance away was the visiting scholar team from the University of Toronto. Jiang Huanxi and Olivia, these two bright girls, stood in front of the team, one body position behind Xu Qingshan and the others, and independent of the group.

This is a private chat between two girls.

"Olivia."

Olivia looked at the girl in front of her who seemed delicate but was actually as soft as a nail.

She had quickly sorted out and let go of those scattered and complicated emotions.

“I am currently working in the field of machine learning and am also the leader of the visiting scholar team that Professor Xu is collaborating on this time.”

When Olivia said this, she saw that the girl in front of her had no change in expression and seemed to be thinking about something, so she immediately added a sentence.

“After that, I will stay at Beijing University for a year as a representative of the University of Toronto for exchange and visiting studies.”

Her meaning was obvious.

But Jiang Huanxi still kept smiling and nodding, which made Olivia a little annoyed, as if she had punched cotton.

In order to get out of this emotional dilemma, Olivia couldn't help but get straight to the point.

"Jiang, I'm not very happy to see you. I came to China just for Xu. I didn't know he already had a girlfriend. My God, I don't know what I'm saying anymore."

Olivia had just started to speak, but after she explained a few words, she gave up expressing her thoughts in annoyance.

Her thoughts were still confused.

This made her even more frustrated, especially when she didn't see Jiang Huanxi's expression of anger, rejection, worry and anxiety.

If Jiang Huanxi faced her with a competitive attitude driven by possessiveness, Olivia felt that she would be very motivated to prove that she was better and could compete fairly in the relationship.

But at this time, Jiang Huanxi always maintained an attitude that was soft but firm.

Olivia is just a young person after all.

She just felt like she was facing a little turtle with a hedgehog shell and she didn't know where to start.

"It's okay, it's normal to feel dizzy, just relax and take a deep breath."

Jiang Huanxi smiled and told the story about when Xu Qingshan accompanied her to the movies a while ago.

"Ms. Olivia, I actually understand what you mean."

Jiang Huanxi said gently.

"But there are a few points I want to discuss with you."

"You say it."

The depressed Olivia turned into a defeated dog the moment she met the soft and easy-to-bully little ostrich in Xu Qingshan's mind, with her head lowered and her eyes submissive, looking pitiful.

"First of all, you and Qingshan should have met at the ICML conference in mid-July, right?"

Jiang Huanxi's question left Olivia confused, but she still answered honestly.

"Well, I was a volunteer at the ICML conference and happened to be in charge of receiving Xu. We met at that time."

"Okay, then the second question, have you ever had any substantial relationship?"

Jiang Huanxi's words left Olivia unable to react for a moment.

"Ok?"

Hearing Jiang Huanxi's nasal tone, Olivia blushed and shook her head.

"Of course not."

"Okay, then the third question, has Qingshan ever said in person that he likes you?"

Jiang Huanxi's question was very sincere, and she even looked at Olivia with concern.

But at this moment, Olivia was in tears.

Olivia: Is it too late for me to turn around and buy a ticket back to Toronto right now?
"nor"

With just three simple questions, Olivia was completely defeated.

At this moment, the young girl in love was frozen into a three-foot ice sculpture in the winter.

Jiang Huanxi chatted softly with the North American girl beside him.

"Ms. Olivia, I know very well what kind of person Qingshan is. He does have many advantages, which are enough to make him the object of admiration of many girls."

"But my question just now was from the partner's perspective."

"First of all, when he met you, he and I hadn't confirmed our relationship yet, so we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend. So his acquaintance with you wasn't something I felt sorry for."

Although Jiang Huanxi's voice was soft, he spoke very seriously.

"Secondly, there has been no substantive relationship between you two, and he has not explicitly expressed his attraction to you. So, to be precise, your relationship is just that of friends, not an ambiguous relationship. It's just that you have a unilateral emotional impulse towards him, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Olivia lowered her head even lower.

The foreign girl who was full of passion and courage turned into a heartbroken lovelorn within an hour of the plane landing.

This was a path she had never imagined.

"The last thing I want to say is."

Jiang Huanxi's voice did not end with the rhetorical question, but continued to speak softly.

"Ms. Olivia is a very good person. Even though we only met at first sight, she was able to become friends with Qingshan and become the team leader. This shows that Miss Olivia is an excellent woman who is trustworthy in life and extremely reliable at work."

"And you like a young scholar who is excellent in appearance, personality, academic ability, and so on. Yes, I am talking about Qingshan. This is not a wrong thing."

Olivia looked up in surprise at Jiang Huanxi standing beside her.

Only then did she notice that Jiang Huanxi's skin was amazingly delicate, it was simply a gift from the Creator, the magical power of collagen was fully displayed on her face.

And that little face with a little baby fat makes people want to rub and pinch it gently.

However, this innocent little face has an exquisite beauty in the eyes, nose and lips. Even without makeup, Olivia saw a sense of pure desire in this daffodil-like profile.

"Olivia."

Jiang Huanxi called the foreign girl's name again.

Olivia stared at the Chinese girl's lips, watching the red lips opening and closing, and she swallowed subconsciously.

My name sounded especially nice when it came out of her mouth.

"It's not wrong to like someone, and it's even more not wrong to like an outstanding person."

"You are a very courageous girl, but it's a pity that you and him lack a little fate."

"You don't have to worry about causing me any trouble."

Jiang Huanxi raised her head, turned her face to the side, smiled brightly, and her deer eyes curved into a smiling moon.

"This means that I have a good vision and I chose the right person. Even when faced with an excellent and perfect girl like Miss Olivia, she would choose me unwaveringly." Jiang Huanxi is not a fool, nor is she socially incompetent.

She just simply didn't want to and wasn't used to it.

Jiang Huanxi had noticed Xu Qingshan's initiative to introduce himself and his attempt to help her reject some conflicts that he thought were unreasonable.

But she didn't think she had to stay under Xu Qingshan's protection forever.

Be it academic or emotional life.

She will all grow.

And she has actually been on the road of growth.

From the moment she opened her mouth to reject Jiang Jingyi, she, Jiang Huanxi, was no longer the same Jiang Huanxi!

Olivia stared at Jiang Huanxi's face in a daze.

Although the person in front of me is indeed very beautiful at this moment.

But Olivia's heart was beating wildly because of Jiang Huanxi's words, the firmness in her gentleness, the sense of propriety in her thoughtfulness, and the self-confidence that was so bright and dazzling that it could make others feel inferior.

Say something incorrect.

Olivia never thought in her life that she would see these things in an East Asian.

Because based on the experience of the Asian people she has come into contact with since she was a child, inferiority and introversion are more like their labels.

"I suddenly feel like I'm not worthy of you, Miss Jiang."

Olivia exhaled lightly and said seriously.

"Uh?"

Jiang Huanxi didn't react. She changed her gentle and confident demeanor and asked the question blankly.

She hadn't expected Olivia's mood to change so quickly.

Is this good? Or is it not good?
In fact, she said this because, on the one hand, she was thinking of Xu Qingshan, and on the other hand, she hoped that she could provide some help for Xu Qingshan's project, even if it was just to help him solve a girl's troubles and reduce the possibility of conflicts and accidents in the cooperation.

But the foreign girl in front of her seemed to have such a weird train of thought that it was a little difficult for her to follow.

"I don't quite understand what you mean. But I think the relationship between Qingshan and I should not be measured by whether we are a good match or not, but by whether we like each other."

Jiang Huanxi softly expressed once again the firm relationship between her and Xu Qingshan.

"I understand your idea."

Olivia sighed.

She was not a person who could keep secrets, and she said what was on her mind immediately.

"I mean, even if I were a girl, I would suddenly feel that I like you more than Xu."

Direct, straightforward, and beyond imagination.

Jiang Huanxi's eyes were confused for a moment, and her face instantly turned red to her ears.

It wasn't like she also liked Olivia.

But
She never thought that she would receive a confession from a girl in her life.

In 2009, this was way ahead of its time.

What’s more, the girl who confessed her love could barely be considered a “wannabe rival” ten minutes ago.

"you you you."

Jiang Huanxi, I've been talking for a long time but you still can't give me any clues.

The original confidence was also stuck.

"I'm not kidding you."

Olivia carefully observed Jiang Huanxi's expression.

To be honest, the strong contrast between Jiang Huanxi's confident and bright appearance just now and her innocent and shy appearance at this moment not only did not make Olivia feel disgusted, but made the feeling even stronger.

"It's not that I'm quick to fall in love with someone else, but I do feel a heartbeat in you."

"Miss Olivia, this is rude!"

Jiang Huanxi really couldn't help it, and uttered something that made her feel extremely ashamed. She quickly quickened her pace and caught up with Xu Qingshan. She pushed away Teacher Chen Dayue who loved to join in the fun, and quickly hugged Xu Qingshan's arm, lowered her face, and pressed her hot face against Xu Qingshan's arm.

"Hmm? Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"

Xu Qingshan and Professor Davis were discussing the content of a new project, which involved a high degree of integration of computer circuit design and machine learning.

Being interrupted at this time, Mei Hong was very tactful and pulled Davis to continue chatting, while Chen Dayue sensibly gave up his seat.

Davis is allowed to cause trouble, but I, Old Mei, am not allowed to save the situation?
"Excuse me, Professor Davis."

Xu Qingshan nodded apologetically.

He then pulled Jiang Huanxi aside, but Jiang Huanxi looked a little strange. It didn't look like he was bullied by Olivia, so Xu Qingshan was very curious.

"Baby, what just happened?"

Xu Qingshan coaxed softly.

"I she. She."

Jiang Huanxi was stuck intermittently.

Olivia's sudden confession really burned her CPU.

"It's okay, just tell me what's going on and I'll take care of it."

Xu Qingshan gently rubbed the little ostrich's hair and soothed it in a warm voice.

"She confessed to me, she said she liked me."

Jiang Huanxi pouted her lips, raised her little face, and looked at Xu Qingshan with complicated eyes.

Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and he felt a slight twitching in the corner of his eye.

Where is the academic version of Shura Field?

How come the development of this story seemed to be completely beyond his expectations?
Xu Qingshan turned around and glanced at Olivia. The blonde girl was walking and pulling her hair in annoyance, as if she was regretting that she had spoken too quickly just now.

Looking back, Xu Qingshan went through several answers in his mind before he finally spoke.

“That shows I have good taste.”

Xu Qingshan said softly.

"Look, you can even charm girls. Does this mean that I made the right choice?"

Jiang Huanxi blinked.

Her eyes melted as she looked at Xu Qingshan.

For a moment, she seemed to understand the essence of tacit understanding.

Two people can say the same thing in the same situation.

"So, don't take it too seriously."

Xu Qingshan really couldn't help laughing. When he thought about Olivia suddenly confessing her love to Jiang Huanxi, he found the scene hilarious no matter how he thought about it.

"Liking someone, or expressing love, is other people's business, but not accepting is our business. Just because Olivia confessed to you, will you stop liking me and start liking other girls?"

"Will not"

Jiang Huanxi replied in a soft voice.

She hugged Xu Qingshan even tighter.

The distance from the airport to the reception car was not far, and we got on the car not long after we finished talking.

Xu Qingshan naturally sat with Jiang Huanxi, but sitting two seats on the other side of the aisle of the reception bus were Professor Davis and Olivia.

Xu Qingshan felt that Olivia was no longer paying attention to him, but was paying more attention to Jiang Huanxi beside her.

He raised an eyebrow.

This guy is really
"Professor Davis, where do you think the main technical gaps of our new project are now?"

Xu Qingshan sat up slightly, blocking Olivia's sight, and took the initiative to talk about the new project with Professor Davis, which aroused his interest and he also sat up.

Olivia's view was blocked by the two big men. She looked back and forth but couldn't continue to peek at Jiang Huanxi. She could only lean back in her chair and look out the window dejectedly.

Professor Davis was very excited.

He only cared about killing and not burying. He would give students an assist once. Whether it would be successful depended on Xiao Ao himself. As for him, he was completely immersed in the content of academic research because of the academic discussions along the way.

“I think if we can make a breakthrough in Boolean functions, all the problems of the new project will be solved.”

"Boolean function? You mean, the Boolean function sensitivity conjecture?"

Xu Qingshan thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, I know that several research institutes are currently working on this problem. With your talent, you should be able to solve this problem. In addition, I have an equally deep understanding of machine learning and microelectronics. My team can complete a complete set of patent development from theory to application."

Professor Davis said proudly.

"When the time comes, I think Intel will be very interested in this achievement."

"Professor Davis, if the application prospects of this result are confirmed, I hope we can talk about patent ownership. I think I may also be able to use it."

Xu Qingshan spoke quickly.

"Maybe you want to make chips?"

Professor Davis was stunned for a moment and shook his head again.

"No, making chips is not that simple. As far as I know, China does not have the conditions to independently manufacture chips now."

Professor Davis has no other ideas, he is speaking purely from the perspective of a scholar and engineer.

"Isn't it because we don't have it that we have to work hard?"

“But that’s hard.”

“Some things should not be avoided just because they are difficult.”

Xu Qingshan chuckled.

"But don't worry, professor. I will provide you with sufficient benefits."

"I don't really care about this. After all, we agreed that this project is a cooperative one, and you will have a share of the project results."

Davis doesn't take any of this too seriously.
