Cheng Su couldn’t escape Ming Xiaofan’s ’enthusiasm.’ After an English class, he caught her, wanting to drag her away imdiately. Cheng Su had to raise her marriage certificate in her hand, flashing it in his eyes.
"If you keep this up, my husband will be very unhappy about it," Cheng Su kindly reminded him.
Ming Xiaofan imdiately thought of the tall, imposing man with a commanding presence and rubbed his nose, saying, "Alright, alright, it’s already lunchti. How about we go to the cafeteria and chat while we eat?" Afraid that Cheng Su might refuse, he added, "I’ve been waiting for quite a while."
Cheng Su had no choice but to go with him to the school cafeteria. They each ordered their als, sat down, and started eating and talking.
"...By the way, you still don’t know which major I’m in, right? I chose science, I’m studying computers," Ming Xiaofan said, his eyes shining brightly.
"Computers?" Cheng Su put down her spoon, her eyes glinting slightly.
Computers, the fastest network of communication in the future; she hadn’t touched them in so long. Since joining the university, she hadn’t even thought of this.
Are computers and computing already becoming widespread now?
"That’s right," Ming Xiaofan sighed. "That’s why I must get into college to study this. Once you study it, you realize how advanced technology is. Let tell you, so people still use an abacus for calculations, how slow is that? But computers are different; it cos out in an instant, so convenient!"
Cheng Su smiled, of course, she knew about the benefits of computers. Who could do without them in the future 21st century? All smart things are naturally useful.
"And do you know about the internet? It’s..."
"I know, information transmission, nothing is faster than the internet. Even wireless phones originate from this principle, all relying on a wireless network..." Cheng Su took over the conversation and began to talk at length.
Ming Xiaofan listened, his eyes glowing. He knew it; talking to Cheng Su about this was the most interesting. She was different from other won, who spoke of poetry and literature. Who would talk about technology and future developnts with him like this?
"With computers and the internet, there will be smart phones in the future. As long as there is internet, you won’t even need a computer to find the information you want. There will even be intelligent robots..." Cheng Su was so caught up in her talk that she didn’t notice Ming Xiaofan’s weird expression.
When she realized she had said too much, she coughed and buried her head in her al.
"Junior Sis, how does your mind work? Are you another John Atanasoff or Einstein?" Ming Xiaofan looked at her with admiration.
Pfft!
Cheng Su almost spat out her food. One was the inventor of the computer, the other a century-level physicist. How could she compare to them?
"Senior Brother, don’t tease . I’m just an ordinary married woman," Cheng Su said, wiping the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, both amused and annoyed.
"No, you’re different from others," Ming Xiaofan said with determination. "Anyway, you know a lot, and your mind works fast. What you said, I never even thought of. Junior Sis, you’re really sothing. Wait, I need to write this down and really think about it."
He patted his pockets, found no pen, looked around, rushed to a male classmate, borrowed paper and pen, ran back to his seat, and started writing on the paper, occasionally asking Cheng Su about her guesses and his own thoughts.
Seeing his passionate attitude, Cheng Su raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does Senior Brother plan to pursue this field in the future?"
