The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

8 PM.

Some people are working overtime, while others are taking a walk.

Some people take care of other people's girlfriends, while others accompany other people's husbands for a walk.

Human life is full of different aspects; everyone is busy with their own things, and everyone is absurd in their own way.

The online buzz has subsided slightly.

To be honest, the public opinion these past two days has been incredibly heated.

First, there was a live-streamed verification of the top scorer's performance, then the proof of Goldbach's Conjecture was presented, followed by the International Mathematical Union's refusal to attend the verification conference, and then the Collatz Conjecture shocked the entire mathematics community. Next, the news of Ji Bai's coma caused widespread concern online, and finally, some netizens offered ten years of their lives in exchange for Ji Bai's awakening...

In just two or three days, several earth-shattering events occurred.

This greatly dampened the enthusiasm of netizens.

With the international mathematics community officially recognizing Ji Bai's achievements, and with Ji Bai waking up safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's like the passion vanishes instantly after it's over.

Everyone thought the story should end here.

Ji Bai woke up safely, and the international mathematics community finally recognized his achievements, with an invitation to the ICM conference being presented to him.

Next, I'll take a good rest and then fly to the United States at the end of July to give a keynote speech in front of the world's top mathematicians.

Save your enthusiasm for now, and continue shouting when he stands on the ICM stage.

Just then, a photo suddenly circulated online.

The photos are very clear, after all, we live in an era where everyone has 100 million pixels.

The background is a hospital ward, where a boy is leaning against a hospital bed with a laptop in front of him.

A gentle and refined woman next to him was offering a chicken leg to the boy's mouth.

As soon as the photo was released, the previously calm internet exploded again.

Some people recognized him immediately: the boy in the hospital bed was Ji Bai, and the woman feeding him chicken legs was Li Mei, who had been dubbed the "most beautiful homeroom teacher" by netizens in the past two days.

Netizens are in an uproar.

"Seriously? This is way too intimate! Feeding him right up to his mouth?"

"A teacher-student relationship? A teacher doing something like that? Ji Bai just graduated!"

"So even geniuses are this chaotic in private? My previous image of a top student has completely shattered."

"Who would believe there's nothing going on? Would ordinary teachers and students be fed like this? You're kidding me."

……

Of course, many people also stood up to refute this:

"Some people's hearts are so dirty that everything they see is filthy." - Ji

"Bai Gang just woke up from his coma, so what's wrong with Teacher Li taking care of him? Is feeding him fries somehow romantic?"

"Didn't your mother feed you? Didn't your teacher care about you when you were sick?"

"They've already graduated, so even if they're dating, it's none of our business, right?"

"Ji Bai's parents are both gone, and Teacher Li took care of him for three years. She was both a teacher and a friend to him. Isn't it normal for her to care about him more?"

"Don't you guys know what teacher-student relationship is? My high school homeroom teacher was also very kind to me. She came to see me when I was hospitalized and even peeled an apple for me."

"Some teachers treat their students like their own children. Just because you haven't encountered a good teacher doesn't mean that such teachers don't exist."

……

The two sides were arguing fiercely.

"When your mother was feeding you, were your hands also on the keyboard pretending to be busy?"

"This is a teacher! A teacher for a day is a father for life. Don't you understand ethics and morality?"

"What era are we living in? Why are you still bringing this up? It's your family's business if you're free to date after graduation!"

"So intimate right after graduation? They were probably already ambiguously involved back in school!"

"You saw it with your own eyes? You're just spreading rumors? It's just a simple teacher-student relationship, who are you to point fingers at?"

……

The hype only intensified.

In no time, the hashtag #JiBaiForbiddenLove# even surged to the top of the trending topics list.

More and more passersby joined the conversation.

These people originally didn't care at all about things like top scorers in the college entrance examination, Goldbach's conjecture, or the ICM conference.

Whether you can prove it or not, what does it have to do with me?

But this kind of taboo gossip is something everyone loves to join in on.

Who wouldn't want to click on a headline like "Top scorer in college entrance exam spends time alone in a hospital room late at night with his beautiful homeroom teacher and feeds him by hand"?

"Wow, this top student's got some tricks up his sleeve, even managed to win over his own homeroom teacher?"

"This woman is quite cunning. She's hooked up with a genius boy, so she'll be set for life."

"She's quite pretty, no wonder she can hook up with students. 'The most beautiful homeroom teacher'? I think she's more like the most successful homeroom teacher."

"No wonder he got the top score in the exam; it turns out he had a teacher who privately 'tutored' him."

……

The foul language spread and became increasingly outrageous, even bringing up old topics like #JiBaiFollowingList#.

The names of those bloggers who skirted the edge were singled out one by one.

What cat-shaped ice cream, a top-tier beauty, NANA, sleepy dog, jumping sheep...

Originally, everyone thought it was just the typical youthful exuberance of a teenager, but now, combined with this photo, it all seems different.

However, due to the deliberate manipulation of certain individuals, Ji Bai's image as a genius was instantly tarnished beyond recognition.

……

At the city guesthouse, Academician Wang and his group frowned deeply when they saw the photo.

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!"

Academician Wang slammed his phone on the table, his face turning extremely grim.

"What is Ji Bai's current status? He's about to make his debut in the international academic community, and this kind of scandal is just unbecoming!"

Lin Boqian also sighed: "Professor Li, why didn't you know to avoid suspicion? If foreign media use this to make a fuss, who knows how they'll smear our scholars."

"Young people are full of vigor, and the teacher has taken care of him for three years. It's normal for them to develop some feelings for each other, but at this critical juncture, it's too much of a threat to the overall situation." Director Zhang shook his head, looking regretful.

"We need to find a way to quell the hype as soon as possible," Dean Wu of Nanjing University said, frowning.

"We cannot let these gossips ruin Ji Bai's reputation, nor can we let them affect subsequent academic exchanges."

A group of bigwigs were in a real bind, racking their brains trying to figure out how to handle the situation and help Ji Bai smooth things over.

……

In the ward, Li Mei's eyes were red, and her phone rang again as soon as she put it down.

In the past five minutes, she has received at least six phone calls.

The municipal education bureau, the district education bureau, Principal Wang, the grade head...

"You're still laughing! The internet is practically turning us into adulterers!"

Li Mei glared at Ji Bai, who was leisurely standing next to her, her voice filled with grievance.

I don't know what came over me just now. Maybe it was because I felt sorry for him, or maybe it was because my maternal instincts were overflowing. I was coaxed and tricked by this little rascal, and I actually fed him.

Now look what happened; someone secretly filmed it, and the internet is flooded with negative comments.

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Ji Bai waved his hand, showing no sign of panic. He typed the last line on the keyboard and pressed the publish button.

[A brief explanation]

This afternoon, I fell into a coma due to continuous high-intensity mental work and was placed under observation and treatment in the ICU ward of the First Municipal Hospital. Out of concern for her students, my homeroom teacher, Ms. Li Mei, volunteered to stay and take care of me.

After I woke up from my coma in the evening, I suddenly thought of an important mathematical proof idea. Fearing that the inspiration would be fleeting, I immediately turned on my computer in bed and started writing the paper.

Because my hands had been writing on the keyboard the whole time, Teacher Li couldn't bear to see me hungry all day, so she fed me.

Our relationship is a pure, unadulterated teacher-student relationship!

Teacher Li is a respectable, responsible, and loving teacher.

Those who maliciously speculate and slander others based on just one photo, please shut up.

Every foul word you utter is an insult to a kind teacher!
