Nian Xi didnât know what to say.
He was so serious, and she felt so nervous and stressed.
âWriting a love letter is even more difficult than writing scientific reports.â Jiang Yuning sounded annoyed and upset. âIâve spent a long time on it but failed to come up with even a few lines.â
Nian Xi was touched and also amused.
Back in school, she had received some love letters, but at that time, she was all about Feng Ji Chuan.
Later on, she started working. The world was busy, and not many people had the ability and time to write love letters.
âPerhaps, itâs because you donât like me enough,â she said.
âNo. I like you.â Jiang Yuning strongly disagreed. He shook his head.
âDo you like me for who I am? Or because you want a girlfriend? After all, Iâm the only female friend you have. You may want to think it through,â Nian Xi said. âAlright, letâs not talk about that. Currently, you need to figure out why those Japanese people know about your report.â
Jiang Yuning ignored the last part of her speech but continued focusing on the love letter.
Nian Xi didnât believe him, so he had to give her the perfect love letter to make her change her mind.
Nian Xi found his reaction annoying and funny. He had become a scientist who was addicted to writing love letters.
...
The conference was over. Jiang Yuning prepared to leave, but people started to surround him.
The speech he gave tonight might not have been the best speech, but his on-spot performance and what Mr. Oda did, impressed people the most.
Cristine from the United States came over, along with Mr. Oda, and said to Jiang Yuning, smilingly, âMr. Jiang, do you fancy afternoon tea in Mr. Wilsonâs Manor? We are all devoted to physics and will be talking about the subject. To be frank, we are working for the benefit of mankind. Perhaps, youâll find that what happened between you and Mr. Oda is a total misunderstanding when we sit down and talk. Donât Chinese people always say that we should make friends instead of enemies?â
Nian Xi couldnât dislike the two of them more. They stole someone elseâs work and shamelessly called it a misunderstanding.
She turned to Jiang Yuning and found him as absentminded as ever. She couldnât help but respond on behalf of him. âIâm afraid Chinese people see tea differently as you do. In our culture, tea is related to the state of mind. The people who know tea well are decent people. Tea is refreshing, elegant, long-lasting, like the fog from the highest mountain. So I think itâs inappropriate for us to have tea with you guys.â
Cristine and Odaâs expressions changed.
âAre all Chinese women so impolite and undereducated?â said Mr. Oda coldly.
Nian Xi was infuriated. Before she argued back, Jiang Yuning held her hand and said, âLetâs go. Donât talk to incapable people.â
His words pissed off Mr. Oda. âBoy, donât be arrogant. You were still a baby when I became famous.â
âYeah. I was better than you when I was a baby,â Jiang Yuning said. Jian Yuning left holding Nian Xiâs hand.
Mr. Oda looked at him angrily and said, âI didnât know that he had the other draft.â
âI think we both underestimated him.â Cristine narrowed her eyes and said, âHeâs very likely to win the next Nobel Prize in physics.â
âHe is not qualified,â said Mr. Oda through clenched teeth.
Cristine glanced at him, then continued, âIâve received a message saying that someone has been working on the âdark energyâ and has made progress.â
âYou think itâs him...?â Mr. Oda was stunned.
