CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 139 ALWAYS SOMEONE OVERJOYED

Qiao Yu’s sudden arrogance today was something Tian Yanzhen completely did not expect.

He remembered that yesterday when he suggested to this guy to tackle the Riemann Conjecture, the youngster still had a face full of disbelief.

Today, mathematics has become "the Creator’s game"?

"Well, well, well, Qiao Yu, it seems you’re really confident now, huh? What’s it? Are you trying to tell me that you can solve the Riemann Conjecture in your undergraduate years?"

Tian Yanzhen glanced at Qiao Yu, asking.

"Haha... Director Tian, are you kidding? Even for a game, it has to be taken slowly, right? You haven’t played Soul Ring, have you? Though the first boss is tough, it’s not that hard!

The Riemann Conjecture is the final boss; the Twin Prime Conjecture is the first boss. I am now in the novice phase, defeating the first boss is a victory."

Qiao Yu explained with a shy smile.

He was only using a game analogy, after all, he didn’t specify what game it was, really...

Tian Yanzhen thought for a moment but said nothing.

He just gained more insight into the importance of Qiao Xi in Qiao Yu’s heart.

Although Qiao Yu often behaves presumptuously in front of him, he had never been this lively like today.

Perhaps the kid himself didn’t realize just how excited he was today, revealing some of his true nature.

However, Tian Yanzhen felt this was quite good, giving off the vibe of a sixteen-year-old.

Reflecting, Tian Yanzhen also felt emotional.

For these times, it’s not easy for a woman to raise a child alone.

What made Tian Yanzhen gratified was that the personality flaws often found in children from single-parent families weren’t apparent in Qiao Yu, proving that his mother put in a lot of effort.

In fact, he had heard about some aspects of Qiao Yu, mainly from his alma mater, Xingtie First Middle School.

But in some sense, Tian Yanzhen didn’t feel there was anything wrong with Qiao Xi’s educational methods.

Children should be taught according to their aptitude. For someone like Qiao Yu, who is precocious, an overly controlling parent might provoke a rebellious mindset.

This mother’s method probably had a hint of laissez-faire, giving Qiao Yu room to freely develop.

Now it seems the effect is quite good. Positive, confident, diligent, and hardworking... You can find templates of almost all the fine qualities of teenagers in this child.

Of course, there’s also scheming and shamelessness, attributes not part of excellent teenage qualities, all complete.

Many things, bigshots see clearly, understand thoroughly, but just don’t say it.

But speaking of it, Qiao Yu’s way is actually quite good. Bigshots, when they reach a certain position, all wish that those at their level are simple good guys.

But in fact, in any field, those who stand at the top of the pyramid, few have minds as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Even if the initial achievements were due to pure academic dedication, upon reaching a certain age, being pushed to a certain position, they start to think about more.

The scariest thing about highly intelligent people is actually their overly strong learning ability.

In short, along this route, Tian Yanzhen was frankly too lazy to pay attention to Qiao Yu, but the little guy was overly excited today, continuously chattering along the way...

"Can you quiet down for a moment?" Finally, when they almost reached the high-speed rail station, Tian Yanzhen couldn’t help it and snapped.

Sure enough, Qiao Yu quieted down for a while, but as soon as they got off the car, he started again: "Director Tian, do you want to hear my innovative ideas on solving the Twin Prime Conjecture? It’s quite innovative."

"Haha... sure, submit your proposal report to me tomorrow, and I’ll read it myself."

"Uh... no problem, Director Tian, but we should head that way to meet the arrival."

"Shut your mouth and just follow me."

...

Qiao Yu finally quieted down, then followed Tian Yanzhen onto the platform led by the waiting staff.

They stood at the compartment stop position provided in the ticket information from Qiao Xi.

Oh, turns out you can enter the station directly to meet someone.

Though a bit messy, it showed sincerity. Surely, Tian Yanzhen had put thought into this...

The timing was actually well planned, with only a few minutes left until the train arrived, Qiao Yu finally had no desire to speak.

He stood there quietly, eyes fixed on where the train would come in, motionless.

Seeing this, Tian Yanzhen suddenly recalled the teacher who specifically inquired about Qiao Yu’s performance at school, who remarked.

"Thankfully, the teachers at Star City Railway First Middle School discovered this talent in time. Otherwise, if he kept fooling around, he could have really gone astray."

But seeing Qiao Yu’s current behavior, Tian Yanzhen felt that such worries were unnecessary.

Having attachments is what people fear most. Especially for a genius like Qiao Yu...

Judging from Qiao Yu’s current demeanor, even for his mom’s sake, he likely wouldn’t take any irreversible path.

Tian Yanzhen even felt that perhaps only when he was about to meet his mom would Qiao Yu realize he’s just an underaged child...

And indeed, this was the case.

As the train’s front appeared, Qiao Yu had already raised his hand and started waving.

As if the people in the carriage could see him.

Until the 13th carriage came to a steady halt, he put away his excitement, composed himself, and stood solemnly at the carriage door, watching the people coming out from the entrance.

Tian Yanzhen remained silent, just quietly observing the teenager beside him, finding it quite interesting.

Until a woman in a beige dress, dragging luggage, stepped out of the carriage.

A very beautiful woman.
