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

The next second, the entire internet exploded again.

"??? I clicked in to get some gossip, and this is what you show me?"

"The twin prime conjecture??? Which twin prime conjecture???"

"Holy crap??? He was just lying in a hospital room, and he just happened to prove another age-old problem?"

"While I'm still arguing about who fed him the chicken legs, he's already conquered another mathematical mountain?"

"Open your mind! Everyone, broaden your perspective!"

"Hilarious! Doesn't the person spreading these rumors feel ashamed? You think they're dating? They're just racking up world-class achievements in their hospital room."

"You who previously criticized her for her chaotic private life, come out and show your face! Don't you feel ashamed?"

"The twin prime conjecture!! Even Terence Tao only made a small step forward on it! Ji Bai proved it completely?"

"Three guesses in three days? Ji Bai, are you even human???"

……

The teacher-student scandal that had been making headlines instantly became a joke in the face of this weighty proof.

Nobody cares who fed the chicken legs anymore.

All eyes were fixed on the paper titled "Complete Proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture".

Unlike the Kolas conjecture, which is relatively unknown, the twin prime conjecture is a very famous one in the number theory community!

It is known as the "sister problem" along with Goldbach's conjecture.

A mountain that countless mathematicians have spent their entire lives trying to climb but have failed to conquer.

The comments section took a sudden turn, with everyone apologizing:

"Go apologize to Teacher Li. She stayed at the hospital in the middle of the night to take care of a student who has no parents, and she was still criticized by netizens. We owe her an apology."

"I apologize to Teacher Li! My thoughts were filthy! I will punish myself with three drinks!"

"Sorry! My mind was full of gossip, while theirs was full of age-old questions. I guess I'm just too narrow-minded!"

"Those who spread rumors about a teacher-student relationship, come out and get your comeuppance! He's working late into the night on academic projects in his hospital room, while you're fantasizing behind your screen—how shameful!"

"I take back what I said about Ji Shen being a womanizer! What's wrong with a genius looking at a beautiful woman? Did it stop others from speculating?"

"I'm so sorry, Cat Broken Ice! I'm so sorry, Top Beauty! I was judging a genius's aesthetic with my vulgar thoughts!"

……

Public opinion reversed instantly.

It turns out that it wasn't what they thought at all.

Undeterred by hunger, the prodigy immediately tackled a world-class mathematical problem upon waking from a coma.

The most beautiful homeroom teacher couldn't bear to see her students doing research on an empty stomach, so she personally fed them.

What a harmonious scene, what a pure relationship!

Some people have turned their attention to the person who took the photo. The ward is a private space, and the ICU has strict restrictions on personnel entering and exiting. Who could have taken this photo?

What was the person's purpose in taking the photo and posting it online?

A thorough investigation is necessary!

Give the top scorer an explanation!

Give Teacher Li an explanation!

……

At the city guesthouse, Academician Wang and his group were huddled together, racking their brains about how to suppress the scandal and protect Ji Bai's academic reputation.

Ji Bai's Weibo post completely stunned everyone.

"Quickly! Print out the certificates right away! One for everyone!"

Academician Wang's voice became urgent, and his previous gloom and dejection vanished, leaving only excitement in his eyes.

Soon, printed certificates were placed in front of the bigwigs.

Everyone looked down and, after reading only the first few lines, their expressions changed completely.

"This iterative structure... he directly jumped out of Professor Zhang's sieve method framework and opened up a completely new path?" Director Zhang of Peking University pointed at the formula, his voice trembling.

"It's so beautiful... This auxiliary lemma is a stroke of genius! I've been studying number theory for twenty years, how come I never thought of such a way to approach it?" Dean Wu of Nanjing University held the paper, his eyes wide with admiration.

Lin Boqian took a deep breath, looked up at Academician Wang, and said in a voice full of shock, "Professor Wang... I've followed the deduction for a third of the way, and haven't found any logical flaws yet. If this article is true..."

Academician Wang picked up the conversation, tapping his fingers lightly on the paper: "If it's true, then Chinese number theory will stand directly at the pinnacle of the world!"

……

Meanwhile, some netizens spontaneously translated and reposted Ji Bai's statement to overseas social media platforms.

At Princeton University, Stephen had just finished his morning class and was still holding his lesson plans when White rushed in.

"Stephen! Look! That young man from China has released another new proof! This time it's the twin prime conjecture!"

"What?"

Stephen slammed the lesson plan down on the table, his face filled with shock: "Impossible! I've only just finished half of Goldbach and Kolas's proofs, how could he possibly produce another one?"

"Let me see it quickly!"

He rushed over and snatched the printing paper from White's hand.

The two huddled together in front of the desk, looking down line by line, growing increasingly alarmed with each reading.

Having just reached the third page, Stephen gasped, "My God! What kind of construction method is this? I've never seen this kind of thinking before!"

White's brow furrowed, his fingers slowly tracing the formula as he muttered, "The configuration here...perfect! Seamless!"

Stephen suddenly stopped halfway through reading, abruptly looking up at White with disbelief in his eyes: "White... why do I feel like this proof... seems to be fine?"

White swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty: "I don't want to admit it, but at least the parts I can understand are logically complete and I can't find any major flaws."

"My God..."

Stephen slumped into his chair, the printed paper slipping from his hand onto the table: "Three days... three centuries-old problems... where did this Chinese boy come from, this monster?"

……

The same scene is playing out simultaneously at Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge... every top university in the world.

Following this, a series of top international mathematicians took to social media to express their shock:

"Incredible! In just three days, he has dismantled three major barriers in the field of number theory! His proofs are full of revolutionary creativity, and I have a ton of questions I want to ask him in person!"

"Proving three major problems in three days? It sounds like science fiction, but I repeatedly checked the core logic of two of them and couldn't find any obvious errors."

"Damn it! Why does the ICM conference have to wait another month? I want to fly to China right now and see this eighteen-year-old genius with my own eyes! I can't wait!"

"I retract all my previous sarcasm. This is not hype; this is a miracle in the history of mathematics. If all these proofs hold true, he will be the greatest mathematician of this century, without exception!"

……

Everyone was looking forward to seeing this extraordinary young Chinese man at the ICM conference and hearing him personally explain these three groundbreaking proofs.

But just then, some netizens took a screenshot of Ji Bai's previous Weibo post saying "I'm not going" and posted it on an overseas platform.

In just ten minutes, this screenshot spread throughout the international mathematics community, shocking countless people...
