A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

Su Hao's gaze gradually became somewhat unfocused.

"I have a mentor in China who has been guiding me since I was a child."

He firmly believes that one day, he will be able to uncover the deep mysteries of this world.

Use the most fundamental logic to explain the laws governing the operation of all things. Just like…

"Like Newton?"

This moment.

Theodore felt he could totally understand how his mentor across the ocean must have felt!

This is not wishful thinking at all!

Whoever it is! As long as they're not blind!

After witnessing firsthand the overwhelming, brutally beautiful top-tier talent displayed on the blackboard, everyone would undoubtedly feel the same fervent anticipation!

"Yes. So I don't want to let them down."

Moreover, to be honest, I've always admired the great mathematicians who have etched their names into human civilization since I was a child.

Upon hearing this, Theodore felt a surge of complex emotions that were difficult to describe.

Incredible!

This young prodigy possessed an almost cold and objective understanding of his extraordinary talent.

Be neither arrogant nor humble, neither surprised nor afraid.

Theodore had no doubt.

If it's Su Hao!

He absolutely deserves it!

They are worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with those historical figures who have gone down in history!

Do not!

They even wanted to leave them far behind and speed away!

"So who is your role model now?"

It was originally a casual question, but Su Hao unexpectedly stopped in his tracks, stroked his chin, and pondered for a very long time.

"More than a role model, there's always been someone I consider a formidable rival."

Who is it?

Su Hao seemed a little embarrassed and answered shyly:

Pascal.

He published Pascal's Theorem when he was sixteen, so by that calculation, I don't have much time left.

I hope that in the future I can achieve something as amazing as him!

Although I don't intend to obsess over age, I still have this little obsession in my heart.

It's a kind of self-driven mechanism, I suppose.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Hao has always closely followed in Pascal's footsteps.

I am trying to find my own anchor point in the vast history of mathematics.

He once naively believed that as long as he ran fast enough, he would one day be able to completely overtake that historical phantom at a bend.

But the deeper he sank into the quagmire of mathematics, the more alarmed he became.

He was horrified to discover that the achievements of that philosopher from hundreds of years ago were like an insurmountable, towering mountain, stretching across the world!

"Um... well, that's a top genius who will be remembered throughout history!"

"Yes. So I've been thinking, when I get to his age..."

"I guess I should be able to make something of myself by now, right?"

Su Hao's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

Theodore looked at him and nodded heavily, almost instinctively.

Yes.

The boy before me is clearly still an unpolished gem, far from undergoing the final metamorphosis of breaking free from his cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

however!

Even with his current limited knowledge and life experience, the amazing talent he just casually displayed on the blackboard was enough to make countless famous figures of the time look up to him!

"My God..."

The day he truly crosses that threshold and grows into his complete form!

What a scene of dramatic change must unfold on this vast land!

Suddenly, an awe-inspiring name uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

John von Neumann.

That extraordinary genius who, in addition to dominating the mathematics world, also revolutionized the paradigms of physics, computer science, and economics, significantly advancing the advancement of human technology.

"wrong."

Theodore shook his head, dismissing the analogy.

John von Neumann, that monster, was more interested in transforming the real world than in empty and dry theories and philosophies.

But in Su Hao's case...

What Theodore saw, however, was a classical idealism that was completely incompatible with modern utilitarian society.

How can I describe that feeling?

Like the classical mathematicians of the Middle Ages who dedicated their lives to the gods.

He possesses an extreme fervor that is completely devoid of any utilitarian purpose, and is purely dedicated to exploring the truth of the universe itself, to which he is willing to devote all his energy!

Worldly honor and disgrace seem to him less than a speck of dust.

"arrive."

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at their destination.

Theodore looked up and saw Su Hao's house.

A small, unassuming two-story house that can be found anywhere on the East Coast, but which has been carefully maintained and is very cozy.

Standing at the door, he looked down and examined his clothes.

Jeans paired with a trench coat.

Although they weren't high-end items, they weren't too offensive either.

"Come inside, it's awfully cold outside."

Su Hao took out his keys while greeting people.

As soon as you open the door, a rich aroma of food, warm to the touch, wafts out as if it were real!

That's the ultimate in the warmth of everyday life!

It's the irresistible aroma that comes from the soy sauce and seasonings blending together at high temperatures!

Although these are all basic seasonings that are easy to buy in Chinatown, they exude a magical aura in this small building at this moment!

"Brother—you're finally back!"

With a crisp cheer, Su Hui skipped and hopped out of the living room like a little deer.

"what?"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Suddenly, I noticed a tall, unfamiliar foreigner standing at the door.

Su Hui was startled, and like a frightened little rabbit, she hopped back two steps.

Then, hiding in the corner, she timidly stretched out her fair index finger and pointed at Theodore's conspicuous head.

Wow! Red hair! And alive!

The little girl's eyes widened as if she had seen some rare animal.

Theodore gave a wry smile, reached up to smooth his messy orange-red hair, unsure of where to put his hand.

As a child, he was often ridiculed by his peers because of his striking red hair.

This was once a deep-seated knot in his heart.

"Su Hui! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Su Hao immediately straightened his face and adopted the authority of an elder brother.

"How many times have I told you! Don't make fun of other people's appearance! It's so rude!"

Startled by her brother's reprimand, Su Hui shrank back and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake.

"sorry……"

The little girl raised her eyelids and stole a pitiful glance at Theodore.

"It's because your hair color is so beautiful, like a character from an anime, that I couldn't resist..."

Theodore laughed heartily and quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care at all.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

He bowed slightly, performing a rather exaggerated gentlemanly gesture.

"I feel incredibly flattered to have won the favor of this beautiful little princess!"

"Really?"

Su Hui immediately beamed with joy and led the way for Theodore with great enthusiasm.
