I Studied Abroad in Modern Times - Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Borrowing Brains

(Non-text: The previous chapter has been covered by the new plot. Anyone who read the previous chapter before two o’clock last night, please read it forward again to avoid missing the plot)

Looking at the milk tea in front of him, Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu doubtfully: “I have known that Old Man Bai is afraid of death. You are still so young…”

“Can turn white.”

Tang Lingwu said softly.

Zheng Fa stared at her little face for a long time, not understanding: “Does your skin have such needs?”

In his opinion, Tang Lingwu’s face was fairer and more delicate than his now.

Tang Lingwu had an eager look in her eyes and nodded seriously, expressing that she needed it very much.

Zheng Fa shook his head in confusion and turned to look at Old Man Bai aside.

Old Man Bai also felt that Zheng Fa didn’t understand him, so he defended himself in a low voice: “It’s not that I’m afraid of death, it’s that I’m full of nostalgia for this world!”

As he spoke, he sighed: “Those young people on the Internet complain about wanting to die every day. When you reach my age, you will know what is a beautiful life and how valuable it is. This life will be over in a blink of an eye.” Cherish this life.”

Looking at the old man Bai’s pale hair and wrinkled face, and listening to his sigh with some insights into life, Zheng Fa couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

Tang Lingwu said with an expression of admiration: “Grandpa Bai, I rarely see people who love life as much as you do.”

“You don’t understand!” Old Man Bai waved his hand and said: “When I was young, my doctoral thesis was written like a piece of shit. I was afraid that I would not be able to graduate. When I joined the work, I was not a leader. I said that being a great mathematician would make me famous throughout the ages. There is no such thing. “Brain, if you want to be an academic **** and wait until death, you won’t be able to do that.”

“At that time, I wished the world would be destroyed as soon as I woke up. I wanted to hang myself under the crooked tree in front of the college office every day to make the leader look good.”

“It’s different now! My retirement salary is tens of thousands a month, I have a house in Beijing, I don’t have to go to work, I don’t have to take care of my grandchildren, I get up every morning and go to the park to exercise, I’m strong and free from disasters, and I don’t have to give up my seat on the bus.”

“I went out to watch the square dance at night. The little old lady in the square who was ten years younger than me heard about my conditions and wanted to have twilight love with me every day.”

Old Man Bai looked at the two of them and said with emotion: “I have paid social security for decades, and I have finally waited for this day. If it were you, would you want to die?”

Tang Lingwu’s eyes widened: “So you said we would understand when we reach this age…”

“Yes, you will understand when you retire.”

Old Man Bai said matter-of-factly.

…

“The so-called Dharma should not be taught lightly, let alone my master’s unique knowledge. It is really dishonest for you to learn martial arts.”

Although what the old man said was reasonable and convincing, Zheng Fa did not agree to him easily.

“Master, look, if you can give me another chance, I will definitely study hard!” Old Man Bai looked at Zheng Fa longingly and said.

“Really want to learn?”

“I want to learn!”

Zheng Fa nodded and said: “I promised you in advance that your qualifications are not very good. If you really want to learn, you will not give up halfway in the future.”

“Absolutely not!” Old Man Bai slapped the ribs on his chest loudly.

“Slow down! Check your sincerity first!”

Zheng Fa turned around and took out several thick volumes of draft paper from the backpack placed on the chair.

Above are the runes in “Complete Explanation of Runes” that he recorded from memory. Only the first few volumes were included, and he spent a lot of effort on them.

What was a bit surprising was that it seemed that after practicing the “Spiritual Crane Body”, his memory was stronger than before due to the improvement of his physical functions.

Old Man Bai had a thick stack of draft books, trembling his lips, and had a bad feeling: “This sincerity…how many copies are there?”

Zheng Fa slowly stretched out a finger and said with a smile: “A whole room.”

There is no need to practice “Spiritual Crane Body”. Old Man Bai is now whiter than Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa actually didn’t give Old Man Bai many runes to analyze some time ago. He was more studying topology with Old Man Bai.

After all, he still prefers to master this knowledge by himself.

But he also had to admit that he had very little talent in this subject.

He looked at Lao Bai’s head with curly hair.

You scold me every day for not being very smart, so your brain seems to be pretty good, let me use it.

Before, Old Man Bai was really lazy and not a person willing to be a tool. Now… isn’t this old man Bai acting as a monster?

Just when the other party felt guilty, Zheng Fa naturally took it out.

“Well, let me continue to teach you topology, right? It’s safest to keep this knowledge in your own mind.” Old Man Bai touched his head and seemed to feel a little cold. Obviously he was still not willing to be a tool, so he struggled to say.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t learn. Am I a slow learner?” Zheng Fa said with a smile.

Top private tutoring, he wants it.

He still wants the tool man’s head.

“Actually…I suddenly discovered that you are also a topological gem.” Old Man Bai said sincerely.

Zheng Fa sighed softly: “Then I don’t think your desire to learn martial arts is very sincere.”

Old man Bai didn’t let go when he saw him, and looked at his hand, mainly at the milk tea in Zheng Fa’s hand.

He was so blessed that he remembered that he still had a teammate. His eyes twitched and he winked at Tang Lingwu:

We are from the same country, don’t you also want to learn? Please help me beg for mercy!

Tang Lingwu nodded, as if she understood it, walked to the table, picked up the cup, and inserted the straw into it with her own hands.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

A smile appeared on Old Man Bai’s face. Ling Wu knew very well. When asking for help, you must have a service mindset!

The next moment, he watched helplessly as Tang Lingwu put her mouth on the straw.

“Feed by mouth?” Old Man Bai quickly stretched out his hand: “This service is a bit too much!”

Tang Lingwu swallowed the milk tea in her mouth and looked at his eager expression in confusion, as if she didn’t understand what he was saying.

Old Man Bai looked at her blankly: “Did you drink it yourself?”

“Yeah!” Tang Lingwu nodded.

“Isn’t this your apprenticeship ceremony?” Old Man Bai asked.

“I don’t want to learn.” Tang Lingwu lowered her head.

“Can turn white!”

“I’m naturally beautiful.”

“It can be even more beautiful!” Old Man Bai said anxiously.

“Attracting bees and butterflies.”

Old Man Bai didn’t expect that Tang Lingwu could become so fast.

Thinking of the enthusiasm in Tang Lingwu’s eyes when she talked about turning white just now, he couldn’t help but shake his head and looked at Zheng Fa with an even more unkind look.

Zheng Fa also looked at Tang Lingwu deeply and understood what the other party was thinking. She probably just didn’t want to embarrass herself.

After all, a lifetime of milk tea would probably not be enough to hire a tool at the level of a professor at Beijing University.

As if she realized that both of them were looking at her, Tang Lingwu’s eyes flew to the side and she muttered: “I’m just a little afraid of pain and tiredness, and I don’t really want to practice martial arts.”

Old man Bai looked at her and couldn’t help but slap his forehead. It would be better not to have this friendly army at all!

He looked at the draft book Zheng Fa placed in front of him tangledly, frowned and thought for a long time, then sighed softly and pushed it away.

This action was a bit beyond Zheng Fa’s expectations.

Old Man Bai used to be very persistent about living a few more years.

“What are you doing?”

“I really don’t have time, I have to write a book.”

Zheng Fa was stunned: “Are you really writing a book?”

“…Do you think I lied to you?”

Zheng Fa nodded.

Old Man Bai looked at Tang Lingwu, who was also nodding.

“There is no trust between the three of us!”
