I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 104

After the off-campus procedures were settled, Lin Xian felt light as a feather.

From now on, he could stay in the dorms if he wanted to, or go home anytime to see his little lover, Zhuang Tong.

Back in the dorm, Wang Zejing, uncharacteristically, wasn’t playing games. He was puffing on a cigarette, bragging, while Lei Hongguang and a few others sat around him, watching him with envy.

“Yo, you guys are in high spirits today!” Lin Xian teased.

“Brother Lin’s back!”

Wang Zejing handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, and then said proudly, “Your little brother here finally got a girlfriend!”

Lin Xian smiled, “Congratulations! Someone from our class?”

“No, she’s a senior from the Foreign Language Department, and she’s really pretty!” Zhang Kai explained from the side, his eyes full of envy.

A senior from the Foreign Language Department?

Lin Xian was momentarily stunned, then glanced at Wang Zejing’s waist, sympathetically saying, “Take care of your body, and eat more Liuwei Dihuang Pills when you’re free!”

“Hehe! My body’s great!” Wang Zejing chuckled.

Seeing his confidence, Lin Xian didn’t say anything more.

Hehe!

A senior from Jincai University was not someone an average person could handle.

Wang Zejing apparently hadn’t realized the seriousness of the matter yet, winking and saying, “Brother Lin, recommend a hotel, I’m not coming back to the dorm tonight!”

“I think the Shangri-La is pretty good.”

“As if I didn’t ask!”

Wang Zejing’s expression froze, feeling a bit exasperated.

Damn, a luxury suite started at three or four thousand, which was almost half a month’s living expenses for him.

Although his monthly living expenses were over ten thousand, he really couldn’t afford the Shangri-La.

Soon, Wang Zejing regained his energy. He took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and showed it off, “Brother Lin, this is my girlfriend, what do you think?”

Not bad. Although she had used filters and makeup, her natural features were good. Her real looks should be around eighty points.

“Nice, Old Wang, your taste is as discerning as ever!”

Lin Xian patted his shoulder meaningfully, then returned to his small room to continue reading.

There were six people in the dorm. Besides Lin Xian, the other five were all single.

Now that Wang Zejing had a girlfriend, how could the other four not be envious? Even the outwardly reserved Zhang Kai pulled Wang Zejing aside, asking him to organize a dorm social event.

At 1:30 PM, he took his books and headed to the classroom.

After a long English class, Lin Xian couldn’t help but close his book.

This book, “New Lectures on Mathematical Analysis,” was finally finished.

It was truly a masterpiece by a renowned scholar. Reading the entire book had greatly benefited him. Additionally, after completing the problems in the book, Lin Xian had also gained a preliminary grasp of linear algebra.

The best way to learn mathematics was to do problems. After solving one problem, you would discover a new one.

Mathematics had developed step by step to this day precisely in this manner.

To be honest, in the field of mathematics, IQ was secondary; what mattered most was talent.

Terence Tao’s IQ was as high as 230, making him probably the highest IQ scholar in mathematics to date. However, in terms of achievements, there were quite a few people who surpassed him.

Not to mention the four great gods of mathematics, just Grothendieck, the recognized God of geometry and algebra in the last century, he was far inferior to.

And Grothendieck’s IQ was not considered too high, only 148.

Lin Xian didn’t think too much about it. He merely treated mathematics as a hobby, enjoying the process of solving problems and the sense of accomplishment.

Putting away his book, Zhang Kai asked, “Brother Lin, are you going back to the dorm?”

Lin Xian shook his head, “I have an elective class later, you guys go back first!”

Carrying his books, he found the elective classroom. Upon entering, Lin Xian was slightly taken aback.

This…

In the huge classroom, there were only a dozen or so students in total.

And they were all girls.

Upon seeing Lin Xian, these girls’ eyes lit up.

A girl wearing a yellow duck T-shirt spoke, “Lin Xian from the Finance Department?”

“Am I that famous?” Lin Xian smiled, and sat down in a front-row seat under the gazes of the girls.

With so many girls at Jincai University, any juicy news would quickly spread throughout the entire school.

Especially a high-quality guy like Lin Xian, let alone freshmen, even the senior girls in the secluded Foreign Language Department knew about him.

Seeing him admit it, the girls immediately began to whisper.

“He’s Lin Xian, he really is quite handsome.”

“His skin is so good, I’m so envious.”

“I heard that Ferrari in the parking lot is his, worth several millions.”

“Really?”

“You didn’t know? That’s old news from days ago.”

…

Generally, one could tell a person’s interest in a course by their seating position during class.

For instance, at this moment, these dozen or so girls were all sitting in the back row, because that position was convenient for playing on their phones.

Ever since he became interested in mathematics, Lin Xian had decided to study mathematical modeling seriously.

After a while longer, no more students came in, so Lin Xian couldn’t help but ask, “Are there only this many people in mathematical modeling?”

“There should be over fifty, those who didn’t come probably skipped class.”

The girl in the yellow duck T-shirt answered, then asked with a giggle, “Lin Xian, I heard you have a girlfriend?”

Lin Xian teased, “Yes! Do you want to be my little lover?”

“Hehe, really? I don’t mind being a mistress.” Perhaps because there were many girls, the yellow duck girl seemed emboldened and joked boldly.

“A mistress probably won’t work, you’re too late. At most, you can be little five or little six.” Lin Xian laughed.

“Pah!”

Hearing that, the yellow duck girl spat, and the girls giggled together.

They had originally thought Lin Xian’s personality would be very cold, but after interacting with him, they found him very easygoing and interesting to talk to, which immediately increased their favorable impression of him.

Not long after, Professor Dai Pingbo walked quickly into the classroom.

Scanning the classroom, Dai Pingbo was clearly stunned, then his expression turned somewhat grim.

His personality was very good, but these students were going too far.

Mathematical modeling was an unpopular elective, and Dai Pingbo knew that, so he rarely called roll during class.

At most, he would call roll two or three times a semester, just to make a point.

But there were only 53 students in total, and over thirty of them skipped class at once, and they did it openly. Wasn’t that a bit too disrespectful to the teacher?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the classroom was silent.

Slowly putting down his textbook, Dai Pingbo said coldly, “I’m calling roll now. Those whose names are called, come up and sign. For those who didn’t come, their grades for this course this semester will all be zero!”

Oh my!

All grades being zero meant no credits.

This was a bit harsh!

The girls in the back row felt a pang of fear, lucky they came to class, otherwise, they would have been in trouble.

Lin Xian was also a bit speechless; it seemed Old Dai was truly angry this time.
