Genius Girlfriend

Jiang Yubai began to look forward to his undergraduate life. He said: "We are alumni again."

"Hmm!" Lin Zhixia nodded.

Starting from this day, Jiang Yubai increased his review efforts. His mentality has evolved from "I'd better be admitted to Cambridge" to "I must go to Cambridge".

Jiang Yubai cancelled the entertainment activities. A friend called him to ride a horse on the racecourse, but he tactfully refused. His uncle invited him to the concert, but he repeatedly shrugged off.

Jiang Yubai was immersed in the atmosphere of learning, and occasionally imagined the future of him and Lin Zhixia. He will return to China after graduating from a bachelor degree, enter a family business, and assume his responsibilities, while Lin Zhixia will teach in the university and continue her research work. He sincerely hoped that by that time, Lin Zhixia's relationship with him could break through the boundaries of friendship.

He was willing to go through a long wait.

Jiang Yubai's self-enclosed training lasted a long time. In December of this year, he took a plane and went to Cambridge, England for an interview.

On the day of the interview, Jiang Yubai got up at six in the morning, took a shower, combed his hair, put on his watch, put on his shirt and suit, and paced back and forth in his room. He admitted that he was a little nervous because he could not accept defeat.

At this time, just after two o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, Lin Zhixia was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, turned on the laptop, and sent a QQ message to Jiang Yubai: "Are you up, can you video with me?"

She waited for a few seconds, Jiang Yubai replied: "Yes."

Lin Zhixia opened the video and immediately saw Jiang Yubai. Facing the computer screen, she clapped her hands and said, "You are so handsome today! You have a good temperament!"

Jiang Yubai didn't expect Lin Zhixia to be so straightforward at the beginning.

Lin Zhixia also said: "You take a few steps back, I want to see your whole body."

Jiang Yubai stood still.

Lin Zhixia urged: "Hurry up, let me have a look."

Jiang Yubai said on the surface: "I have nothing special..." His legs involuntarily moved back, and he deliberately stood directly in front of the camera so that Lin Zhixia could observe him from the front.

The eyes of the two of them met through the screen, as if they had traveled through a long time, returning to the situation where they lived together day and night.

Lin Zhixia stretched out her finger and gently touched the camera. Jiang Yubai and her have a keen heart, and his fingers are put on it-in the virtual online world, their fingertips touched each other, and Lin Zhixia typed another line: "Come on interview! You are the best!"

Jiang Yubai asked her in a mysterious way: "In your eyes, I am the best?"

"Of course!" Lin Zhixia was particularly sure. She also said: "You are the best boy I know. You have a very good personality. You are gentle, smart, stable, rational, and patient. You are the best!"

Lin Zhixia praised Jiang Yubai wildly, satisfying his shameful vanity.

Jiang Yubai no longer feels nervous. He had breakfast, reviewed his notes again, and went out calmly.

The weather in December was a bit cold, the sky showed a gloomy blue, and the wind was scorching a bitter chill. The ancient marble buildings in the college stood quietly around it, surrounded by square manicured green lawns.

Jiang Yubai walked through a stone road in the middle of the lawn and tidied his cuffs a bit. He glanced around and saw a dozen high school students in suits and shoes.

Those students come from all over the world. They are all outstanding among their peers. Some students revealed their strength and background during the chat, creating invisible pressure.

Jiang Yubai heard a discouraged statement from a student: "The probability of accepting me at Trinity College is the same as the probability of me winning the lottery..."

Jiang Yubai walked to the male classmate: "No matter how small the probability is, it is better than no chance."

The boy shook his hand: "Where did you go to high school?"

"In Beijing." Jiang Yubai said honestly.

The boy's eyes lit up: "My fellow?"

Jiang Yubai denied: "I am not a native of Beijing."

Jiang Yubai chatted with this male classmate, and both sides maintained a polite and cold conversation until the invigilator took them into the examination room. The invigilator is a college student from this school, who looks very young, maybe only eighteen or nine years old. His attitude is very easy-going and he also made a joke so that everyone should not be afraid of the written test.

Jiang Yubai is never afraid of written exams.

Besides, this written test is only one hour.

The questions on the test paper are difficult and test your mathematics skills.

Since getting to know Lin Zhixia, Jiang Yubai has been studying mathematics day by day for many years, and he has never slackened. He used the standards of high school mathematics competitions to demand himself, and firmly believed in the principles of "stupid birds fly first" and "diligence can make up for the clumsiness".

Now, his hard work has paid off. He finished the first six questions smoothly and got stuck on the seventh question. He concentrated on his thoughts, his hands were so fast, and finally solved it, the invigilator said: "You haveten minutes left."

There are only ten minutes left.

Jiang Yubai still didn't write three questions.

He didn't have time to think about the eighth question, so he wrote the answer intuitively and used the same method to finish the ninth question before the end of the exam.

Then, Jiang Yubai took this paper and walked to the interview site.

The written test and the interview are almost seamless, and the written test is the prelude and foreshadowing of the interview. After completing the seven questions on the paper, he could not stand out from the competition. Jiang Yubai had to impress the interviewer in order to obtain the qualifications for admission.

Both of Jiang Yubai's interviewers are professors with extremely high academic achievements. As soon as he stepped into the office, he felt the professor's gaze. He calmly greeted the professors and handed out his own papers with both hands.

The first professor asked Jiang Yubai questions about the questions on the paper, and Jiang Yubai answered very smoothly. The professor smiled and nodded, and then talked to him about the ninth and tenth questions-these two questions were actually beyond Jiang Yubai's ability.

The second professor started to guide Jiang Yubai and provided him with simple ideas. He immediately grasped the key points and dictated a plan.

Jiang Yubai's family teacher once taught him: Cambridge interviews are a bit troublesome, you have to take a good attitude-you can't be too tough, show any aggressiveness, and you can't succumb to authority and have no opinion. You can't talk endlessly, let alone taciturn. You must be gentle, polite, confident, honest, trust your own judgment, and correct your mistakes in time.

Jiang Yubai adhered to this principle.

Both professors smiled.

One of the professors discussed the question on the paper with Jiang Yubai and gave him a quick answer: Suppose you are playing a game and you have a coin. After you toss the coin, if the coin is facing up, If the game continues, you can still get one yuan. If the reverse side of the coin is facing up, the game will be terminated immediately. What is your expected profit?

Jiang Yubai began to answer. He said that the probability of tossing a coin with heads and tails facing up is not certain because the question does not describe the situation of the coin itself. He assumes that the probability of the coin heads up is a, and the probability of the coin heads up is b, and the expected value should be a/b.

Next, the professor turned the problem into game theory, and the number of players increased.

Jiang Yubai picked up a marker and drew a schematic diagram on a whiteboard. The professor kept increasing the difficulty of the topic, connecting the two fields of mathematics and economics, and even investigated a little philosophy.

Jiang Yubai has never been cold. His thinking is always clear, and he can cite classics, and his scope is very broad.

In order to reach a resonance with Lin Zhixia, Jiang Yubai has not known how many books he has read over the years. Lin Zhixia's thinking mode is very jumpy, and her imagination is even more imaginative. Especially when she was a child, she did not consider Jiang Yubai's mental state at all. As long as she caught him, she could say anything.

The interview was about to end, Jiang Yubai thought of Lin Zhixia, and briefly lost his mind for a few seconds. He heard the professor compliment him, he relaxed, said goodbye to the professor, and walked out of the front door of the room slowly.

The north wind roared outside, and the chill hit, Jiang Yubai was walking alone on the road. He recalled the whole interview process, and he felt that it was not bad, and he did not make any mistakes.

After Jiang Yubai returned to his residence, his relatives and friends called him.

Jiang Yubai's uncle asked him if he was sure, and he briefly summarized: "I'm not sure."

Uncle worried that he failed the exam, so he didn't dare to ask again.

Lin Zhixia asked him how he did on the test, and he replied in detail: "The test is not bad, except for mathematics and economics, but also philosophy. The teacher asked me whether human beings have free will. This is what you often say..."

"How did you answer?" Lin Zhixia asked again.

Jiang Yubai calmly said: "The hypothesis of the Kantian school is quoted."

"That should be fine," Lin Zhixia analyzed. "You are a student of economics. You understand free will and determinism. You have read Kant's works. If you are so good, you will definitely be admitted!"

Jiang Yubai was very humble: "Maybe others are better than me."

When Jiang Yubai said this, Lin Zhixia thought he was not confident, and she praised him several more, which made him very happy. He waited patiently for the admission result from Cambridge, and wondered if he could study abroad with Lin Zhixia.

In January 2011, Jiang Yubai returned to the provincial capital to prepare for the New Year. His high school career is coming to an end, and in September this year, he will become an honorable college student.

In the eyes of Jiang Yubai's high school classmates, Jiang Yubai is a very good boy. He is proficient in English and French, has a solid theoretical foundation, and has extremely high test scores. When he and his classmates did group work together, he always played the role of leader. Everyone was convinced of him and almost forgot that he was younger than everyone else.

In addition, Jiang Yubai is not arrogant at all. He defined himself as an "ordinary ordinary person."

Jiang Yubai’s high school classmates almost agreed that Jiang Yubai must be admitted to the university he wants to go to.

The students are prescient.

One morning in January 2011, Jiang Yubai opened the application system and saw Cambridge's admission notice at first glance. He calmly closed the webpage, reopened it, confirmed that he had received the relevant e-mail, and repeated the acceptance letter, and then broadcast the good news to his relatives and friends.
