1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 282 The deeper the love, the longer the list of documents.
"Good afternoon, Professor!"

"Come and sit!"

Hopkins had already looked up Lu Youyou's information and knew that she majored in marine engineering in college, and her grades in her major courses were almost perfect from freshman to senior year.

Although American schools do not recognize Chinese scores, Tsinghua University is one of China's top universities. Even if there is a difference in academic level, a perfect score is still a perfect score.

Due to confidentiality reasons, Lu Youyou's research results on seawater desalination were not written in her file, but a series of perfect scores is already quite impressive.

After listening to her report again today, Hopkins is now filled with curiosity about this Chinese student.

Could you briefly describe what you studied in college?

It's both a learning experience and an assessment; many people have learned the material but can't articulate it.

Of course, Lu Youyou is not among these people.

In addition to her unparalleled memory, her logical thinking and summarizing abilities are also top-notch.

It's just a large project report spanning four years, a piece of cake.

There was a lot of content, and even after Lu Youyou condensed it, she still spoke for half an hour. Hopkins didn't interrupt and listened attentively the whole time.

The more I listened, the higher my score rose, and it continued to climb until it reached 90 without any sign of slowing down.

100, 100+, ∞...

Hopkins remained silent for a long time after Lu Youyou stopped.

He's fifty-three years old this year, and has seen countless geniuses, including himself. He thought he would never be moved by a talented young person again, but alas...

On an ordinary day, in an ordinary professional class, an ordinary yet extraordinary international student appeared.

It is truly a miracle that such a dazzling flower could bloom in that barren academic environment across the ocean!
Lu Youyou was used to this kind of look, from Zhou Dazhu, the head of the cooking squad, to Zheng Weimin, the director of the health center, to Director Luo of the 507 Institute, and then to Dean Luo and Dean Qian of Tsinghua University...

However, compared to Dean Luo's "bold and reckless" approach of directly assigning her responsibilities regardless of whether she was a freshman or not, Professor Hopkins was somewhat more reserved.

He took a piece of paper out of the drawer, and judging from the handwriting, it should have been written by him.

"These are the reference books and literature I've listed for you. Read them through as soon as possible. For the books, write a reflection, stating your thoughts and questions. For the papers, write a review, also stating your thoughts and questions. Keep it short, try to keep it concise to a few hundred words..."

A familiar feeling washed over Lu Youyou, as if she had returned to her study abroad days in her previous life.

A mentor's love for their students is often expressed through the amount of reading they do; the deeper the love, the longer the list of references.

The textbooks are thin, but the reference materials are thick. Even if you spend 40 minutes in class, you can still spend 40 hours in the library.

Looking at the densely packed sheet of paper in front of her, even with pages on both sides, Lu Youyou already felt the immense love from the academic tycoon, as heavy as a mountain.

"Thank you, I will read it as soon as possible."

"No rush, this is a semester's worth of material. Just hand it in to me before the end of the semester."

The expert didn't find the list a burden at all. It was a bit much, but how could one achieve anything without reading books?
Coincidentally, Lu Youyou thought the same thing.

One of her purposes in coming to the United States was to practice her copying skills, memorizing as much as she could. Now, with top professionals pointing her in the right direction, she has saved herself a lot of trouble searching for information.

Both sides were satisfied with the conversation.

Hopkins was delighted, not only because he had discovered a super genius, but also because he was a hardworking and diligent genius.

Lu Youyou was also very happy. The favor of academic giants was a shortcut to the top of the pyramid. She had attracted the attention of Johns Hopkins University shortly after the start of the semester, and her progress far exceeded expectations. A thin sheet of paper led Lu Youyou to dedicate all her spare time to the library, and the colorful university life had nothing to do with her.

At first, she was alone, but after a few days, she had a little tail.

It can't be called small, after all, a tall, muscular man with double doors doesn't look small at all.

"Lu, I brought you a bottle of Coke."

The stool next to me was gently pulled out, a familiar voice rang out, followed by a bottle of cool Coca-Cola.

Lu Youyou turned her head and saw a bright smiling face. Jack showed eight neat white teeth and his face was flushed from exercising.

John, too, smiled and greeted Lu Youyou.

The group of five did not disperse after the report was finished, mainly because the remaining four people strongly insisted that they should not leave.

Having a classmate with a super sharp mind is such a wonderful thing, and they've already experienced it, so of course they don't want to let go of Lu Youyou, their precious darling, so easily.

Because Lu Youyou spends all her time in the library, they also come whenever they have free time. Today it's Lucia, tomorrow it's John, but only Jack shows up every single day without fail.

He fell in love with Lu Youyou at first sight, and his love only deepened with each subsequent meeting.

However, he didn't dare to confess his feelings.

Lu Youyou never showed him anything special, and because of his high attendance rate, she was even more distant from him than from John and the others.

But American boys don't know what giving up means. They're at the age where their blood is boiling, so how could they back down at the first sign of difficulty?

So he still showed up as usual, without being overly eager to annoy people, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Just then, a voice drifted from behind.

"Tsk, simp."

The three of them turned around together, and Jack immediately felt a surge of anger. Why was it that sour chicken again!

If it weren't for the fact that it was in the library, he would have already thrown a punch. Even if he couldn't fight, he would have jumped up and stood in front of the male classmate.

John immediately stood up and stopped the man, coldly sweeping his gaze over the hair-gel-covered head: "Watch your words."

His hair was styled with gel, and he was dressed impeccably, clearly indicating a good family background. But as mentioned before, he only dared to spout nonsense at Jack; he couldn't possibly argue with John's congressman father.

He turned and left without a word, and John pulled Jack back into his seat.

People nearby had already been drawn to the commotion, and John quietly apologized.

Seeing that Jack still looked unhappy, she nudged him with her elbow and mouthed "calm down".

Jack knew he had to stay calm, but having his thoughts exposed in front of Lu Youyou made him blush with embarrassment, his face turning red all the way to the back of his ears.

He cautiously glanced to his left out of the corner of his eye and saw that Lu Youyou had already turned her attention back to her book. He didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel troubled.

Confess your feelings, or maintain the status quo?
The heart of a young man in his prime is in turmoil, never able to find peace.

Lu Youyou was completely absorbed in her studies. When it was lunchtime, people around her started packing up their things, so she decided to take a break and eat first.

Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder, and Song Yunqing's fluffy red head popped out from the left.

"Hey, I finally found you!"
