"Professor Gowers! Has Lu agreed?" After waiting for several days without receiving any news, the head of the school's external publicity department couldn't sit still and hurriedly opened the door of Professor Gowers' office. 【

"What do you promise?" A gray head popped out from behind the computer and blinked innocent eyes.

"About holding a special symposium on the Poincaré conjecture!" This lady, who has always been known for her good temper, spent a lot of effort to suppress her anger and said word by word.

"Oh, yes, the special meeting!" Professor Gowers patted his forehead, and then looked at her sincerely, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about it. Lu read an article to me that day. The new paper has given me new inspiration, and I have been thinking about this for the past two days!"

Well, since Princeton can tolerate scholars with eccentric behaviors such as Nash and Wiles, it is completely normal for someone like Gowers to forget something because of inspiration! The lady took two steps forward and supported Professor Gowers with both hands. He stood on the table and asked warmly, "Do you think you can take the time to solve this matter now?"

"You see, my research is now at a critical time!" Professor Gowers waved his arms to express the department where his research was interrupted. He never thought that the reason why others came to disturb him was because he forgot what the other party told him. He got up and took the lady's arm without caring about the gentlemanly manner and said as he walked out, "You can find someone else to convince him. Professor Wiles, Professor Nan, and Professor Thurston all have a good relationship with him."

"But!", her head is now covered with black lines, which is the most annoying thing for scientists who are in a research state!

"Okay, I wish you good luck in your work, goodbye!" Professor Gowers slammed the door of his office!

She stood blankly at the door, her face changing three times in an instant, and in the end she could only stomp her feet angrily and walk to the professor's lounge of the Department of Mathematics; she didn't dare to knock on the door again, who knew her inspiration would be interrupted? How furious the professor would be.

"Hey, madam, let's play a game!" As soon as he walked into the professor's lounge of the Department of Mathematics, a man with disheveled hair, a full beard, and walking around barefoot came over and shook his hand. Pen and paper, with a number of neatly arranged circles drawn on the paper, "Come and play the game of life with me!".

"Sorry, Professor Conway, I have something else to do. Have you seen Professor Thurston or Professor Wiles?" This man who looks a little abnormal is also a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton, John Hutton. Conway was one of the founders of combinatorial game theory and created the new number system hyperreal numbers. He is more widely known for his invention of many interesting mathematical games, such as the Game of Life, Philosopher's Football, etc.

"John, I'll come and play with you later!" Professor Thurston came out to help her out, pulled Conway aside to comfort her, and then came over, "Girl, what do you want from me?"

"That's it..." She finally found someone with whom she could communicate normally. She almost cried with joy and quickly said her purpose, "So, can you help urge Lu Qiujian?" What?"

"Uh!", Thurston scratched his head in embarrassment, "Lu is not at school recently, so I probably can't help you convince him, although I may be looking forward to this report meeting more than you!"

"Where has he gone? Don't you have his phone number?" This stick hit her dizzy.

"As you know, the exam is coming soon. We didn't continue the lecture. Instead, we gave them free time to complete the paper and prepare for review! Lu said that he hadn't gone out to play since he came to the United States. He just told us

Went on a hiking trip! Before I left, I said I didn’t want to be disturbed, so I didn’t even take a phone with me!” Professor Thurston said. As for exams and papers, in his opinion, they would not cause any trouble to Lu Qiujian at all.

"Where did he go?"

"Ozark Plateau!" When she heard this place name, the lady was completely desperate. There was no way to find anyone in such a deserted place!

The top of the mountain in the distance is covered with snow, and a clear and shallow stream flows slowly at the foot of the mountain. Lu Qiujian sits on the boulder by the stream and leisurely watches the fish playing in the clear bottom of the stream, completely immersed in this beautiful scenery.

Among natural scenery.

"Nat, it's time to get up!" After a while, he turned around and shouted to the back. A burst of aroma came from the pot on the portable fire stove next to him, "Breakfast is already cooked!"

With a hiss, a dark blue tent was opened on the flat ground behind, and a white arm stretched out. Natalie said in a lazy voice, "Let me sleep a little longer. Last night was really hard."

I went to bed too late!"

"Who doesn't want to sleep all the time?" Lu Qiujian smiled. Although she looked petite, she didn't expect to be so energetic. She kept working until midnight before resting.

There was no sound in the tent, as if she had fallen asleep again; Lu Qiujian shook his head and stopped calling. It seemed that today's journey would not be completed as planned.

Ever since he dealt with Professor Gowers' urging, he knew that the school would continue to press forward, so he took advantage of the time to relax before the exam and ran away. He didn't believe they could find an inaccessible place like the Ozark Plateau!

Of course, he didn't forget to call Natalie when he came. Although she also had to prepare for the exam, she still couldn't resist Lu Qiujian's temptation. The two of them rarely put their studies aside for a while and went hiking in Arkansas.

The travel mecca of the Ozark Plateau.

After a while, just when the fire was about to go out, there was the sound of sparse dressing in the tent, and Natalie finally woke up from her sleep.

"Um, this T-shirt seems to be mine?" The hem of the shirt almost reached Natalie's knees, and a section of white was exposed at the wide neckline, which made Lu Qiujian quite regretful. It's a pity that she has small breasts, otherwise she would be

There is great scenery.

"I'll put it on first!" Natalie walked to the stream, picked up the water from the stream, washed up, climbed up to the top of the boulder with Lu Qiujian's pull, took the hot breakfast from his hand, and ate a few delicious bites

, “Your craftsmanship is simply amazing!”

If you weren't a vegetarian, you could make even better food! Lu Qiujian put his arm around her shoulders, "If you don't hurry up, we might not be able to reach our scheduled destination!"

"Since it's a relaxing trip, why be in such a hurry!" Natalie stretched, "Wouldn't it be nice to just walk around at will, with no plan and no destination that must be reached?"

Hmm, that sounds good!
Chapter completed!
