I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 724 Arrival in Stockholm

Nearly 11 hours later, the plane landed.

Led by staff, the group exited through the VIP passage at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.

"Wow, what a grand scene!"

Xu Shouyun looked at the sea of ​​people in suits at the boarding gate and was filled with emotion. They hadn't even left yet, and they already saw countless flashes of light.

Even from afar, one could sense the solemnity and reverence.

However, although they had never experienced such a grand occasion, Xu Shouyun and the others had spent decades in the system, so they had enough composure to not be nervous.

Song Shisong and Zhang Junli exchanged a glance, and could see the complex emotions in each other's eyes.

Yes, they know their son-in-law is very capable.

But at this moment, I felt the same way as Mr. and Mrs. Xu: knowing and actually experiencing are two different things.

The grand welcoming ceremony in the distance made them feel once again the weight of winning the Nobel Prize.

This is not just one person's glory.

Xu Shouyun suddenly recalled the scene of the official send-off yesterday and couldn't help but sigh: "The moment the plane door closed, the scientist took away the answer sheet of his personal struggle, but left on the runway was the expectation of the whole country."

"You're spouting rhymes all the time, are you preparing for graduate school?" Wang Xiaping rolled her eyes.

Xu Shouyun coughed lightly.

Beside her, Wang Xiaping's gaze fell on the crowd in the distance. Although she was complaining about her husband, she was also deeply moved at this moment, and unconsciously felt a sense of national pride.

Perhaps this is the significance of the Nobel Prize.

To a certain extent, this represents international recognition of a country.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao walked ahead.

"Vlkommen, Professor Xu!"

Leading the group was an elderly man in a black suit, wearing a Nobel Foundation badge on his chest. What he had just said was Sweden's special welcoming address.

"Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hansong."

Xu Qingzhou smiled. The old man in front of him, Göran Hansson, the permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, was a leading figure in the field of chemistry, presiding over the entire process of nomination, review and announcement of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

They were also the representatives of the Royal Academy of Sciences who were welcoming them this time.

"This beautiful lady must be your wife."

"Yes, this is my wife, Song Yao."

"Ms. Song, welcome."

"Hello."

Song Yao calmly extended her hand.

Goran Hansson shook hands with Song Yao, looked at Xu Qingzhou, and then said with a tone full of admiration, "Professor Xu, I assure you, you are the youngest Nobel laureate I have ever greeted."

"It's my honor," Xu Qingzhou said with a smile.

"I am also honored to witness the birth of the youngest Nobel Prize laureate."

"Professor Xu, Ms. Song, welcome." At this moment, a middle-aged man with an Asian face said with a smile.

The accompanying staff had already begun to introduce him: "This is Ke Honglang, Minister-Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Sweden."

"Hello, Counselor Ke, it's a pleasure to meet fellow countrymen in a foreign land. Could you please come and pick us up?"

Xu Qingzhou said sincerely.

In other countries, the safest place is probably one's own embassy.

Ke Honglang said with a smile, "Professor Xu is a pillar of the nation and a mainstay of national development. It would be right for him to come here ten times, let alone once!"

"You flatter me."

"Professor Xu, for anything in Sweden, you can contact the embassy. We will do our best to meet your needs." "Thank you."

Permanent Secretary Göran Hansson looked at Xu Shouyun and the others and said, "On behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, I welcome you all. Well, rather than standing here, I think you would prefer to rest at the hotel first. There will be a special welcoming ceremony later."

"Professor Xu, Ms. Song, please."

Ke Honglang also made a gesture of invitation.

The group walked out of the airport in a grand procession.

There was a dedicated media isolation area where reporters were confined to behind a glass curtain wall to take photos in silence. Xu Qingzhou and his team were not disturbed much and were able to get outside smoothly.

Led by the welcoming staff, Song Yao and Xu Qingzhou boarded a black Volvo S90 limousine.

Xu Shouyun and the others were then arranged to be placed in the following vehicles.

Goran Hansson was clearly a very talkative person: "Professor Xu, do you know that the Nobel Prize Chemistry Committee has been arguing about your name for months?"

"Is it because of my age, or the type of award?" Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

"To be honest, both are true."

Goran Hansson said helplessly, "You know, you're only 24 years old. And as for the awards, we need to decide whether you should get the Chemistry Prize or the Physics Prize. After all, your achievements in physics are equally impressive."

"I wouldn't mind winning the physics prize again next time I come."

Xu Qingzhou said jokingly.

"."

"I wouldn't mind coming to greet you again."

Han Song smiled and thought to himself, "It turns out that the people of Xia are actually quite humorous."

He didn't take it seriously. Winning the Nobel Prize once is already a tremendous honor; a second time is possible, but probably decades from now, by which time he'll likely be retired.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at the Grand Hotel, the hotel designated by the Nobel laureate. After a short rest, there was a small welcome reception in the evening.

We attended the hotel's welcome dinner at 7 p.m., which was attended by past winners and judges. It was quite lively, and the group didn't return to their rooms until 10 p.m.

"I'm exhausted, I don't want to move at all."

Xu Qingzhou collapsed onto the bed.

Although I slept for a few hours on the plane, I still feel completely drained due to jet lag. My body is exhausted, but my mind is very excited.

Song Yao had been staying by Xu Qingzhou's side most of the night, and she was also very tired. After taking off her shoes, she collapsed next to him with a thud.

After a while, she nudged Xu Qingzhou with her hand, "Go take a shower."

Xu Qingzhou turned to look at the girl beside him. She took off her coat, revealing her slender figure, which was impossible to hide, especially when she was lying down, where her perfect curves were visible.

He couldn't help but extend an invitation, "Together?"

"Xu Qingzhou, I have a ton of things to do tomorrow!"

Although Song Yao had her eyes closed, she accurately gave Xu Qingzhou a slap on the waist, thinking that this guy was hopeless, still thinking about lewd things at a time like this.

Xu Qingzhou lay still.

I came a day early, not only to adjust to the time difference, but also because I have a lot of other things to do. Tomorrow morning I have to go to the Stockholm Concert Hall for an awards rehearsal, to simulate the award presentation and stage movements.

This afternoon I will be giving an award-winning keynote speech at the Karolinska Institute.

There are quite a lot of things to do.

"I'm jet-lagged and can't sleep at all right now."

Xu Qingzhou hooked his hand around Song Yao's palm.

There's no insomnia that can't be solved with one takeoff; if there is, then two will do.

Song Yao pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and remained silent; actually, she also had trouble sleeping.
Xu Qingzhou laughed, tacitly agreeing without saying a word. This girl was such a tsundere. He decided not to wait any longer and flipped over, pinning her down.
