95 Edison’s Regret; Heading to the Temple
In the United States, Poston.
Before he arrived, laughter could be heard.
“Professor Edison, it’s a pity that you didn’t go to Jiangbei, Hua Nation!” Jeffree laughed.
Edison put down the book in his hand and asked, “Jeffree, did that Hua Nation man really solve the Twin Prime Number Conjecture?”
Jeffree told Edison the good news on the phone before he boarded the plane.
Due to time constraints, Jeffree only gave a brief explanation, and Edison did not know the details.
Even so, it still made Edison extremely excited.
Jeffree sighed in admiration. “He did more than just that. He even answered it at the venue of the report!
“You know what? Mr. Lin Fan is only in his 20s!
“Heavens! I thought he was the God of Mathematics!”
Jeffree’s tone became high.
Jeffree could not help but feel excited whenever he thought of that scene.
Edison’s old face also revealed a look of fascination.
“If I had known earlier, I would have put down everything on hand and made a trip to Hua Nation!” He sighed.
After a pause, he asked again, “By the way, why didn’t you stay in Hua Nation longer? You could’ve discussed more with Mr. Lin Fan.”
He was a mathematician who solved both Zhou’s Conjecture and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture at the same time. No one could imagine how advanced he was in mathematics!
It was definitely a good thing to discuss mathematics with someone like him!
Jeffree said helplessly, “I also wanted to… But he can’t speak English, and I… I can’t speak his language.”
Edison nodded in understanding.
A language barrier was indeed a very troublesome matter.
“That’s why I’m planning to start learning the language,” Jeffree said. “The next time I see Lin Fan, I’ll be able to communicate and discuss with him.”
“Professor Edison, do you want to join us?”
Edison opened his mouth.
Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, “I think I’ll pass. Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to master in the world.
“I’m getting old. I’m afraid I don’t have the energy to master it now.
“Lin Fan is still young. Who knows? He might be able to master English soon.”
…
The next day.
When a warm ray of sunlight shone on the balcony, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.
He casually glanced at his phone and saw a text message appear on the screen.
[Notice from Merchant Bank: 1,410,000 yuan was deposited into your account at 12 AM.]
Then, Lin Fan slowly got up and walked out.
At this time, the dining table was already filled with fragrant noodles, eggs, milk, egg pancakes, and other food.
Qiu Ziqian, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled and said, “Honey, you’re awake? Hurry up and eat something.”
“Try it and see if it suits your taste,” Huang Ling stuck out her head and said.
Lin Fan took a bite of the noodles and praised, “Delicious!”
His praise filled the hearts of Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian with a sweet feeling.
After breakfast.
“Honey, I heard that there’s a large-scale ritual at the Hero Mountain Temple today,” Qiu Ziqian said. “Shall we go burn some incense and walk around?”
When Huang Ling heard this, she could not help but look at Lin Fan with a look of anticipation.
Obviously, she wanted to go too.
Lin Fan was the same as most people today. He had never believed in any gods or Buddha.
However, it was the weekend, and it was a good idea to go out with Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling.
“Alright, let’s go to the temple to burn some incense.” He nodded.
When Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling heard this, their pretty faces revealed a touch of joy.
The Pagani Huayra could only seat two people, so they were driving Qiu Ziqian’s Mini Cooper today.
The temple was located in the suburbs of Jiangbei.
However, along the way, there were trees and flowers, which were quite pleasing to the eye.
As they neared the temple, the number of vehicles around them increased.
It even caused a long congestion.
Obviously, everyone had come after hearing about it.
About an hour later, the three of them arrived at the parking lot and walked toward the temple.
After walking for a while, Hero Mountain appeared in front of Lin Fan and the others.
It was said that this place was not called Hero Mountain in the past. It was changed because a hero had sworn to guard this place with his life during the war and protected the villagers.
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and looked at the stone tablet. Then, he continued walking forward.
At this moment, there were clearly more people around.
Some of them had pious expressions on their faces, while others were talking and laughing… All of them headed toward the temple where the faint sound of prayers could be heard.
The temple was very grand and imposing.
A huge golden Buddha sat in it, and several monks sat below, chanting Buddhist scriptures and knocking on the wooden blocks from time to time, adding a touch of solemnity and mystery to the temple.
Many people stood in the distance and bowed three times before inserting the tall incense sticks into the huge incense burner.
Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling also bought incense sticks and came to the incense burner.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
“Lin Fan?”
Lin Fan slowly turned around and said in shock, “Sun Luguo? I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
The person who had come was the young master of the Sun family’s medical company, Sun Luguo. He lost to Lin Fan in a car race and gave Lin Fan a hundred-year-old Ganoderma.
“I didn’t expect it either!” Sun Luguo laughed.
The dignified and beautiful girl holding Sun Luguo’s arm said, “Luguo, this is…”
“Oh, this is Lin Fan. I told you about him last time. He’s really good at Go.” Sun Luguo introduced, “Lin Fan, this is my girlfriend, Fan Wenxiang.”
When Fan Wenxiang heard this, a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
From top to bottom, she sized Lin Fan up once more.
“So you’re Lin Fan? Luguo has mentioned you a lot to me,” Fan Wenxiang said with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Lin Fan.” Lin Fan smiled.
After a pause, he prepared to introduce Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling.
However, he did not know how to introduce them.
Should be… Should he just say that they were his girlfriends?
Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling seemed to understand Lin Fan’s dilemma.
Thus, they took the initiative to introduce themselves.
“I’m Lin Fan’s friend, Huang Ling.”
“I’m Qiu Ziqian.”
In the beginning, they were not familiar with each other, so the atmosphere was a little dull.
However, after the conversation started, the few of them began to talk and laugh, and the atmosphere became very relaxed and happy.
On the side of the temple was a wish corridor, which was filled with wish tablets written by tourists.
The few of them also bought wish tablets and wrote down their wishes.
Qiu Ziqian: [I hope the people I love and the people who love me will always be safe and healthy!]
Huang Ling: [I hope everyone will be happy and joyful!]
Lin Fan took the pen and pondered for a while. Then, he wrote down a line of words: [May we live long and share an abundance of joy!]
His brush moved like dragons and snakes, light and free!
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the side, “Excellent calligraphy!”
