After Qi Shao's voice fell, not only the Chengde students next to him were shocked, but even Lin Zihai and others who had just had lunch with Xiao Jianping stared wide-eyed.

They could see that Xiao Jianping and Bai Shuqiao had a good personal relationship, and that Xiao Jianping was the father of Xiao Xinchen, an exchange student at No. I have some interest in smart products, but I never thought that this middle-aged man who seemed approachable and friendly was also a boss.

On the one hand, it was because there was no teacher surnamed Xiao in the lecture brochures they received; strange.

Lin Zihai and Shen Yiming stared wide-eyed and could not help pinching each other.

"It turns out that Teacher Xiao is Teacher Qi's teacher...ah, I took the initiative to tell Teacher Xiao at noon that Xiaomei might just be stuck, haha, I'm so humorous."

"...haha, you are so funny."

The two of them were just dizzy, and there was already an unbelievable student next to Chengde who was swearing in a low voice.

"Damn, how is it possible?!"

"I vaguely feel that this teacher looks familiar."

Xiao Jianping didn't pay attention to the reaction of the group of children next to him, thought about it seriously, and said to Qi Shao: "It's pretty good, it's the second part, talking about the chip, I think it's a little bit..."

Qi Shao listened very intently, and the surrounding gradually became silent.

Taking a panoramic view of the expressions of this group of peers, Xiao Xinchen was beaming with joy, trying to clenched his hands into fists in front of him, trying to control himself not to laugh.

The classmate from No. 1 Middle School next to him was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head with a sudden realization: "No wonder you didn't let us reveal your father's identity, so he was waiting here."

Xiao Xinchen chuckled: "Isn't it fun?"

"It's fun and exciting." The classmate succumbed to this simple and rough pleasure without hesitation, "From now on, your dad will be my dad! If there is any news about our dad, can you tell me in advance so that I can have fun together."

"My dad is my dad, you have a good idea!"

The mushroom, listening to six ways and seeing all directions, quietly rubbed against the host's arms, and meowed in a comfortable posture.

"Ruan Ruan, Xiao Xinchen is really childish."

Pei Qingyuan responded calmly.

If he hadn't just heard Ji Tong use the camera system to capture and record everyone's expressions, while smiling and commenting on how wonderful their unbelievable appearance is, this sentence would have been more convincing.

His calm eyes flicked over those emotional faces without any waves, but he felt faintly ridiculous in his heart.

Judging a person by external conditions is an inherent habit of these people. In daily life, this prejudice is often effective, so when the moment comes when the high-level overlooking fails, they will be particularly reluctant to accept it.

Yet the blow is far from over.

On the other side, after Qi Shao finished speaking with Xiao Jianping, he immediately set his eyes on him.

He chatted with Xiao Jianping and Bai Shuqiao at noon, and he knew that this future fellow apprentice was wearing a smart watch today, and he was holding a beautiful white cat in his arms, which was easy to recognize.

"Is it classmate Pei?" Qi Shao took the initiative to smile and stretched out his hand, "Hello, I'm Qi Shao."

Pei Qingyuan got up and responded politely: "Mr. Qi, hello, I'm Pei Qingyuan."

"No, no, don't call me teacher, I'll be inferior." Qi Shao repeatedly said, "If you don't mind, just call me Brother Qi."

Xiao Jianping single-handedly brought him from undergraduate to doctoral stage, and later stayed on to teach at the school. He became a colleague of the original teacher and has a very close relationship. Naturally, I heard that Xiao Jianping plans to teach only undergraduates next year for a student with great potential. thing.

However, Qi Shao did not expect that he would be able to meet this future fellow apprentice when he was invited to hold a lecture this time, which can be called a surprise.

He has been curious about Pei Qingyuan for a long time, and he just heard Xiao Jianping and Bai Shuqiao's high evaluation of Smart Xiaomei just a few hours ago.

Spending time with the so-called leading media is certainly not as important as having a conversation with an AI product with a unique design.

"Well, Xiao Pei, can I..." Qi Shao's smile was somewhat embarrassed.

Pei Qingyuan understood, and said kindly: "Brother Qi, the next lecture will start soon. I remember that there is a buffet party in the evening. I wonder if you are free to attend? If there is a chance, I would like to consult with you and Professor Xiao Some professional issues."

After seeing Ji Tong's ability to pretend to be stupid, Pei Qingyuan can basically let Ji Tong talk to these experts and scholars, but he can't hand over the watch alone for others to study, he must be present.

Because there are many teachers from other schools attending the lectures every day, the school will arrange a buffet-style buffet after the activities of the day, and all school personnel can participate, which can provide students with more communication opportunities.

"It's great to be free." Qi Shao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "It's agreed, you must come tonight!"

He chatted happily with the high school students in front of him with a fairly equal attitude. The exchange students who had spent the whole afternoon with Xiao Jianping who had a similar temper didn't think it was so strange, but the others were really dumbfounded.

Seeing Xiao Jianping's mistake, they recognized it, but they were all too familiar with Pei Qingyuan's background. How could such a person who had been removed from the upper class circle get such preferential treatment?

The former Pei Qingyuan did perform outstandingly, but that obviously has the bonus of family background and status. After leaving the favorable environment and losing the benefits that money can bring, what is left for Pei Qingyuan who has returned to an ordinary life? Can he still study the expensive art without distraction as in the past, and live in the widest world like them?

All he was left with was a despicable mother, a gloomy and poor family, and a life destined to become more and more miserable.

Pei Qingyuan, who was beaten back to his original form, should have been left far behind by them, instead of becoming the focus of everyone's attention once again like now, and many eyes cast on him were full of deep envy.

The cat, which was lazily lying in Pei Qingyuan's arms, raised its head as if looking up, and stared quietly at these students with different expressions. There was a sly light in the sapphire blue eyes, with a little Arrogance and a little contempt seem to be written in five big characters.

Stupid human beings.

"Ruan Ruan, it's my turn to show my skills again."

Mushroom happily grabbed his arm.

"Um."

Pei Qingyuan responded softly, without casting his eyes on anyone who didn't matter.

Jiang Yao, who was sitting in the back row, saw what happened in front of her. Her exquisite face showed a complex emotion. The girl who was close to her pushed her: "Why are you still looking at him? I thought You've already given up on that thought."

The girl joked: "Don't think about it, you are people from two worlds, even if he somehow got acquainted with a few professors now, it won't change anything."

Jiang Yao listened to her words, did not make a sound, but lowered her eyes, full of thoughts.

Those are indeed two worlds.

But everyone measures the different worlds by very different standards.

After the day's lecture activities were completely over, the specially vacated restaurant became lively, and waiters in uniform came and went, replenishing the food and drinks that were quickly consumed by people.

The restaurant is decorated exquisitely, with flowers and desserts everywhere, as well as the soft voice of people talking. The huge crystal chandelier is extremely bright, exuding bright light, reflecting strange or familiar faces.

When Pei Qingyuan walked into the restaurant alone, he happened to pass by a waiter carrying a plate, and caught a glimpse of the elegant bow tie around his neck.

The scene in front of me always makes people feel familiar.

His reflection was reflected in the clean floor-to-ceiling windows beside him. He was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, with a black watch on his wrist, reflecting the clear night outside the window.

Less than two months have passed since that day in early September, and it seems that there is still no time to change anything, and he doesn't even have enough time to grow up.

But this time, when they saw him appearing at the door of the restaurant, people looked at him with completely different emotions.

Some people who attended that banquet thought of Pei Qingyuan who was wearing the waiter uniform that day, his expression changed, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by several more eager voices.

"Xiao Pei, you are finally here!" Xiao Jianping smiled and waved to him, "Come on, let me introduce these professors to you, they are all my good friends..."

"Old Xiao, what's your name, a professor, you talk about words, you usually talk about Lao Li."

Not only Bai Shuqiao and Qi Shao, but also several professors and scholars from different universities are gathering together to chat. They are the most eye-catching group of people in the whole buffet party. There are many students beside them who want to come forward to chat , and could not find a suitable opportunity.

But now, they all looked at Pei Qingyuan.

Pei Qingyuan's steps did not change at all. When he walked towards them quietly, he heard a small voice in his heart.

"There are no lamb chops today." Ji Tong quickly scanned the surrounding meals, and said regretfully, "Fortunately, I'm already full."

Tonight, Ji Tong has to pretend to be a watch Xiaomei again. Pei Qingyuan packed dinner for him in advance to prevent him from starving for a while, so he came a little late.

"So soft, that transparent snack looks delicious and soft, remember to taste it for me."

"good."

He agreed, walked into the middle of the crowd who had been waiting for him for a long time, and under Xiao Jianping's recommendation, he said hello to each strange face one by one.

Lin Zihai, Shen Yiming and others who arrived before him also stood aside. They were not as calm as Pei Qingyuan and Xiao Xinchen. They were so nervous that they didn't know what to say in this slightly grand occasion, so they could only listen silently to the bosses. dialogue.

When the topic came to Xiaomei, Pei Qingyuan lowered his head and lit up the dial, and the bean-green robot that had been silent for a long time jumped out at the right time, and said with a smile: "Good evening, human."

"Oh, this animated image is too cute, Lao Xiao, this is much better than the aesthetics of the people in your team..."

"It's improving, it's improving, don't worry about us, look at Xiaomei, Xiaomei's words are very interesting."

Qi Shao, who had been waiting for a long time, was the most active. He came up and asked a difficult question: "Xiaomei, what do you think of human beings?"

Xiaomei's round eyes widen slightly, which is the iconic action designed by Ji Tong when encountering complex problems: "Human beings can eat, very happy."

Qi Shao's eyes lit up: "Interesting, I thought it couldn't answer, but I didn't expect the amount of information stored in its database to be so large. I don't know if it is the specified answer that was read directly, or after the steps of analysis and synthesis..."

Xiao Jianping took a question that was asked at noon and repeated the test with the exact same sentence: "Xiaomei, I just had lunch, are you hungry?"

Xiaomei also answered him with exactly the same tone and tone: "Xiaomei is not hungry, because Xiaomei doesn't need to eat."

But after finishing speaking, a cute smile appeared on the face of the little robot, and he said naively: "But it's night now, why do you only have lunch?"

Xiao Jianping and Qi Shao exclaimed almost at the same time: "Have analytical ability!"

Experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the fun. While the teacher and student kept asking Xiaomei, Bai Shuqiao and others beside him also listened with gusto.

"This AI is really interesting. If it can be mass-produced, I must buy one, although it looks very expensive."

"Pei Wei complained to me last time, saying that Lao Xiao has gone mad again. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have to say that I understand Lao Xiao."

Bai Shuqiao, who I saw for the second time, has been curious since noon, and couldn't help asking Pei Qingyuan: "Xiao Pei, who made Xiaomei? Old Xiao is already a top expert in this field in China. He said Even he hasn't understood Xiaomei's built-in data logic for the time being."

Xiao Jianping and Qi Shao heard this question and followed suit.

"This is a gift." Looking directly at these eyes full of pure enthusiasm, Pei Qingyuan paused for a moment and spoke slowly, "I don't know why he was sent to me, but I am very happy to meet he."

He wasn't actually lying.

And how this sentence is interpreted by others has nothing to do with him.

At the moment when everyone was thinking, Xiaomei blinked, and suddenly said: "Xiaomei doesn't know, there are always many things in this world that Xiaomei doesn't understand."

Its light voice instantly dilutes the slightly silent atmosphere, turning the supposedly serious question into a playful joke.

Everyone laughed, as if his words brought back countless memories: "Xiaomei is right, there are always many things in this world that we don't understand."

Whether in life or in scientific research, there will always be places that people cannot reach and interpret temporarily.

The warm air flowed again.

No one asked about Xiaomei's origin anymore. This group of experienced scholars was full of emotions, and they really chatted freely, which became a unique scenery at the buffet party.

Holding a porcelain dinner plate, Shen Yiming listened to them chatting about various trivial matters in their life and academic field, which seemed to be full of unknowns and frustrations, just like him today.

Bai Shuqiao saw the bewildered expression of the child on the opposite side. After the history lecture in the morning, when she came to find Xiao Jianping, she accidentally heard the conversation of those children about the greatness of the world.

At this moment, she was talking about the historical research she was doing recently, and her eyes stopped on this high school student who looked stiff and lost, and she said softly: "...after relaxing the time scale to years, hundreds of years, ten thousand years, and billion years , everything in front of you will seem so insignificant.”

Bai Shuqiao gently lifted the bright red cherry on the porcelain plate with a silver fork, and smiled: "It can't even compare to a speck of dust in the universe, but when it enters the mouth, it has a sweet taste that can fill every cell .”

"How wonderful it is to realize that I am an ant so small that it happens to be able to move a grain of rice."

Shen Yiming, who was listening in a daze, was swept by this warm gaze, and suddenly felt an urge to cry.

He was taught from a young age to learn as much knowledge as possible, get the highest possible test scores, go to the best university, and have the safest future. Take the next step, and you'll be forever disconnected from your surroundings, unable to catch up with those who have already walked ahead.

But at this moment, he seemed to have personally experienced a precious and subtle beauty.

Shen Yiming subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and in his peripheral vision, a quiet smile was blooming on the face of the little robot that was close at hand.

Bai Shuqiao's gentle and powerful voice diffused in the air, and Pei Yan, who was farther away in the crowd, also heard it, and he also had a bewildered expression.

Many people around were silently listening to the conversation, with different moods. Some people quietly took pictures and took notes, while others walked away with disdain.

A few minutes later, a new post appeared on the campus forum of Chengde High School.

[Today's buffet... From the content to the protagonist, it is very special. ]
