Super God-Level Top Student
Chapter 852 - 320: Be Prepared for Everything_3

"""

"No... Where did you hear about this? Don't spread rumors if things aren't confirmed."

"Spread rumors? Everyone in the group is already discussing whether we should prepare a gift or something. They even saw several cars leaving suddenly in the evening from the attached hospital. The dots have all been connected."

For a moment, Xu Changshu almost forgot what Zhang Mingrui had just told him; his mind was recalling the conversation he had with Li Jiangao at the school,

He was amazed that Qiao Ze had started researching Yang-Mills Theory at the age of ten, while he had only managed to understand calculus then.

Now, at twenty, Qiao Ze already had a child, while at thirty-seven, he was still single.

So geniuses always have to be one step ahead, never giving anyone else the chance to catch a glimpse of their backs, huh? Fall behind one step, and you're behind at every step.

The most critical part is: does this guy manage to carry on with mathematical research without any hindrance from dating? Wasn't it agreed that women would only slow down a man's speed to draw his sword?

"Hey, hey, hey, do you think we should also prepare a gift or something? I don't have much experience with this kind of thing though..."

The urging from the other end brought Xu Changshu back from his scattered thoughts, and he said helplessly, "I have even less experience. Look, I have some important things I'm busy with now, we can talk about it when I get back tonight."

"Oh, alright, you go ahead with your work. I'll ask that kid Liu Chenfeng, younger folks probably know better about these things, hanging up now."

With the busy tone coming through, Xu Changshu was stunned for a while before he took the phone away from his ear.

Even though the speaker wasn't on, the room was very quiet, the colleague on the other end was quite excited and spoke louder, so the conversation could still be faintly heard in the earpiece, leaving the few academicians present with a puzzled look on their faces.

Consequently, Ma Xuming, who had just made a fruitful insight, couldn't help but ask, "Xu, what's going on?"

"Uh... nothing." He instinctively wanted to avoid the topic, but remembering Han had mentioned that even the group chats were buzzing about it, he suddenly felt there was nothing to hide; they would probably find out the next day: "It's just that Professor Qiao has a happy event at home."

"A happy event? That Su really is pregnant?"

"Yeah."

Sure enough, the four academicians looked at each other in surprise.

Zhou Liang suddenly asked, "Professor Qiao and that Su haven't gotten married yet, right?"

Xu Changshu nodded.

"Hmm, then the wedding must be coming up soon." Zhang Mingrui immediately added.

"Right, they ought to have the wedding first."

"If I were the parents of both sides, I'd choose some time soon? October has National Day."

"I think generally, planning it between three to five months is more prudent."

"Doesn't that mean the earliest would be in December?"

"Su is still young, she should have no health issues. I still think October is more likely. Xilin is pretty nice around that time, still warm, and young people care about looking good; by December, it's nearly winter, wearing more clothes and everything's inconvenient."

"I also think an October wedding is more likely. Just have a doctor accompany and keep an eye out."

"Right, National Day, everyone's on holiday, the symbolism is good, a universal celebration."

"That means we'd have to make another trip over here."

"Definitely. Though I don't know if Qiao Ze will still be up for entertaining a few old folks like us tomorrow."

"No rush, no rush, haven't we already made some gains this trip?"

"You know, if their child inherits the intelligence of both parents, that would be incredible."

"What are you thinking? How's that possible? Intelligence inheritance is occult, my son didn't even understand the chickens and rabbits cage problem in the sixth grade."

"Exactly, let's hope not; with near-demonic intelligence, if they also grasp sweet talk and trickery, that would be a disaster."

"Hold on, by that account, don't you think you're describing that Dou Dou? I'm telling you, don't take that Dou Dou lightly, when it gets serious in AI, it's also watertight when it talks."

"Good grief, if you put it like that, it does sort of sound similar. Come to think of it, sometimes I feel that Dou Dou seems more human than Qiao Ze."

"Haha, just the thought of Dou Dou getting jealous and competing with Qiao Ze and Su's kid makes me can't wait to see that child come into the world sooner."

"Hey, Li Jian just got married recently as well, wonder if he has a kid yet? He better not fall behind his students."

"Right, totally forgot to ask during dinner today. Well, I'll make sure to ask him if I see him tomorrow."

...

Xu Changshu was dumbfounded as he watched the four academicians diverge wildly on the topic, a side of academician life he had never seen before.

But then again, they discussed these topics without avoiding him; perhaps this was their way of showing that they didn't consider him an outsider?

It still felt a bit odd though.

It was as if finding out about Qiao Ze's child, each of these academicians had turned into a child themselves.

So, a strong enough manifestation is to make everyone around you follow the ups and downs of your emotions?

Xu Changshu didn't know how many times he had envied Qiao Ze, but it seemed rather impolite for him to still be standing here at this moment.

So taking advantage of a lull in the conversation, Xu Changshu said, "Teachers, shall we call it a day? I should head back."

"Sure, Professor Xu, let's do this: why don't we add each other on WeChat, so we can ask for advice on any issues at any time?"

"Uh, sure, let's scan then..." Xu Changshu took out his phone, and soon added all four academicians as WeChat friends.

Well...

He came out to explain a few problems and came away with four academicians added on WeChat - that should count as a win, right?

But soon, Xu Changshu thought of Su's pregnancy again.

For some reason, a strange premonition flashed through his mind that the birth of this child was heralding some significant events to come.
