Chapter 40: Pursuing Mathematical Extremes

  It's easy to deceive a young girl, isn't it?

  "I'm a master hacker, your little tricks can't stop me." Liu Meng said mysteriously, thinking to himself that you little girl wouldn't understand much anyway, and it's easy to deceive you.

  "Don't use my computer." The little girl directly stomped her foot and took on a domineering and unreasonable attitude, refusing to let you use it.

  "You just said I could use it if I could open it, kids should also keep their promises."

  "I...". The little girl's face turned bright red again, she thought of herself as an honest person, and indeed had said those words before, couldn't deny her credit, thinking hastily, "Anyway, I just won't let you use it, I'm a unreasonable little girl."

  Couldn't think of a good reason, so I just became unreasonable.

  "Aren't you afraid I'll read your diary? As soon as I turned on the computer, I saw it on the desktop. I'm a straightforward person, I won't sneak a peek at your diary, and I'm not curious about kids' inner world at all. How about we make a deal?" Faced with this unreasonable little girl, he could only coax her.

  "You said!" puffed back, a pair of beautiful eyes vigilantly staring at the big uncle in front of her, motionless, with an attitude that says "I'm not so easily fooled".

  "Your mom asked me to come over and tutor you, I'm just doing someone a favor, I know you don't like me, of course, I don't want to bother you either. You just need to behave and finish your homework every day, do whatever else you want, I promise to turn a blind eye and won't report back to her. In return, you have to lend me your computer every day, as for your diary, you can delete it or copy it, I absolutely won't read it. What do you think?" Liu Mang was very patient, slowly inducing himself to appear kinder and kinder.

  "What makes you think I believe you?" The little girl's vigilance was really heavy.

  "What makes you not believe me? We have no past grievances or recent resentment towards each other, right? A gentleman's agreement is about mutual assistance and trust, without influencing each other." The strange uncle continued to persuade.

  A pair of beautiful, shining eyes blinked back and forth, the little girl fell into deep thought.

  "You're too cheap, my mom paid for you to come, it seems like you haven't done anything, not worth it, I've lost out." The little girl thought for a moment and revealed her cunning eyes.

  This is the rhythm of rising from the ground price.

  Liu Meng helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said: "What's your point?"

  "I haven't thought it through either, anyway when I make a request, you have to unconditionally agree with me." The little girl said with a very innocent tone and gesture.

  "What if you make some unreasonable demands? This won't do, it's too risky. Let's change it to something more specific." Liu Mang waved his hand repeatedly, this was still acceptable.

  Xiao Yatou heard that Liu Meng didn't agree, and immediately came to his senses, feeling that he had proposed a genuine and valuable additional condition. He insisted: "Can't change, I guarantee it won't be too excessive, haha, uncle, rest assured, I'm still very kind."

  The little girl patted Liu Meng's shoulder and comforted him like a little adult.

  Liu Meng rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "This makes me even more uneasy. But I suppose this little girl won't make any unreasonable demands. And if she does, can't I just play dumb later? Might as well agree for now and figure out the next step later."

  Furrowing his brow deeply, pretending to be in painful contemplation, after a while, the little girl couldn't help but urge him again. Only then did he reluctantly say, "Alright, deal."

  Xiao Ya Tou had a triumphant look on her face, stretched out her palm, Liu Meng wasn't very willing to stretch out his palm, Xiao Ya Tou happily patted it once, and thus reached an agreement.

  Then, I quickly copied out the diary with a U disk.

  After reaching an agreement, the two of them got along peacefully. Liu Meng could finally sit down and surf the internet quietly for once.

  Looked around, the time was almost up, and thought of getting up to leave, suddenly found that the cushion was stuck together, thinking it was because I sat for too long, a lump of sticky stuff on my butt.

  Finally managed to scrape off a bit, and when I looked, it was white and turned out to be chewing gum.

  Liu Meng's eyes widened in anger, and he said in a low voice: "Zhou Shiyan, didn't we reach an agreement? You're going too far."

  This is Liu Meng's only branded trousers, which were given by Cheng Fei and Min Rang last time. How can he not be heartbroken?

  The little girl giggled and said: "Uncle, just a small joke, no harm done, getting angry hurts the liver."

  It's really helpless to deal with her, so I can only slowly undo it myself. This thing is really sticky. The little girl occasionally turns her head and glances at me with a smile, pretending to read books and do homework.

  "Go ahead and laugh if you want to, holding it in will only hurt your liver." Liu Meng said with a bad attitude.

  "Hehehehe..." The little girl burst out laughing, thinking to herself that this uncle was quite fun, at least he had a good temper and looked pretty decent, just not very handsome, not a tall and handsome European guy.

  。。。。。。。。。。。

  After the first class of mathematics after eleven, Liu Mengxiang hastily entered the classroom and habitually looked for Gu Xuan and Zheng Wen in the first row.

  The two were still in their usual seats, but they found that there was a very handsome and mature-looking boy sitting next to them, who originally didn't have a seat.

  There was a hint of surprise in her heart, which slightly revealed itself before quickly recovering to normal. She had intended to ask Gu Xian with her eyes, but saw that she was extremely focused on the book, her face frosty, with an air of keeping people at arm's length.

  It was Zheng Wen who hinted to him with her eyes to check his phone, and Liu Meng only then remembered that he had gotten up early for exercise and hadn't turned it on yet. Thinking about it made him feel somewhat relieved, so he walked slowly to the back and found a corner seat to sit down.

  As soon as the phone was turned on, it started ringing nonstop. Upon opening it, there were three messages from Zheng Wen, but not a single one from Gu Xian.

  "Liu Meng, what conflict are you and Gu Tian having?"

  "Oh dear, it's probably all my fault for talking too much and telling her about you going shopping with those two girls. That must have made her unhappy. It seems she still cares about you a lot, but her temper is also very stubborn. I couldn't persuade her."

  "Today in math class, Du Yi's brother came with Pan Er to audit Mr. Kong's lesson. You can just sit down and find a seat for now."

  After reading the three text messages, Liu Meng roughly understood what had happened and couldn't help but sigh. As for his feelings towards Gu Xuan, what kind of emotions did he have? Probably more of a desire to make up for past regrets, there was definitely some affection, Gu Xuan was his type after all. Love? Or how much love, it definitely didn't add up to that.

  Recalling a scene from the National Day holiday in Sofia Church, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

  Men, after all, what's most important is their career. This period of time, indeed, has been a bit of a waste.

  A man cannot provide a woman with security in life, just some considerate thoughts, after all, can't enter the elegant hall.

  It can be foreseen that if she wholeheartedly pursues Gu Meng, perhaps she will move herself and the two will be together. However, Gu Meng's mother, that beautiful and lovely aunt, will definitely not agree. In the end, it will just be a repeat of what happened at the Hagia Sophia Cathedral.

  Having thought it through clearly, he let out a relaxed sigh. Since Gu Meng was like this, then why not just go with the flow and focus on pursuing his studies and career wholeheartedly instead?

  Emotional matters were never something that could be forced anyway.

  He glanced at Du Yi beside Gu Xian.

  Very handsome, elegant and refined, very charming, behavior reveals a gentlemanly temperament.

  The two of them really match well!

  The corners of his mouth slightly bitter smile, immediately quickly cheered up, full of a positive energy, took out the conjecture given by teacher Kong Jidao: A reverse conjecture in the field of mathematics about the proof strength of Ramsey's two-color theorem.

  Thoughts soon became fully immersed in it, focusing intently and thinking seriously about the problem.

  Mathematical logic, which is a direction that Liu Meng has always been very enthusiastic about. In the past, he never had time to seriously consider these purely mathematical propositions. When writing papers and patents, they were all about applying mathematical knowledge to practical problems, using known mathematical knowledge to establish models of real-world problems.

  I feel that countless spheres in my mind are running and colliding at multiple angles, opening up countless forks along this train of thought, constantly reasoning and evolving.

  After about half an hour, Liu Meng suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a little excited in his heart. He found that his thinking ability had improved significantly. After reasoning and screening, he roughly determined the direction. At this moment, he had a strong desire to learn and wanted to check some data to confirm it.

  Thinking of this, I didn't delay any longer, immediately packed up my schoolbag, sent a message to Kong Jidao, explained the situation, and rushed to the library to look up materials.

  Although Kong Jidao didn't mind whether the students came to class or left halfway, Liu Meng indeed respected this elder and quietly left through the back door after greeting him.

  After arriving at the library, I browsed through dozens of classic mathematics books and some original works by famous mathematicians. The library collection of Harbin Institute of Technology is quite rich.

  Generally, it is most helpful to look at the original works of mathematicians, how they step by step deduce classic formulas from shallow to deep, such as the Newton-Leibniz integral formula. It's not as simple as described in math textbooks, but rather a philosophical idea that expounds mathematical theory, a kind of philosophical thinking about mathematics.

  All the books were placed on the table in front of him, three rows, each row over a meter high, and Liu Meng's presence was completely invisible from the opposite side.

  Turned off the phone and plunged into the ocean of knowledge, exploring the most primitive mathematical thinking. The deeper I study, the more mysterious and interesting it becomes. And please help vote for me if you have a ticket. Thank you!
