Chapter 404

Gu Lu was right.

Konstantin really didn't sleep well last night.

I returned to my hotel room at two o'clock in the morning, and tossed in bed until four o'clock in the morning before I fell asleep in a daze.

Because Konstantin was always puzzled.

Why did Gu Lu show his threatening words so blandly.

If Gu Lu really doesn't care about the Morningside Mathematics Prize, then he would rather delay the research time this time, and the original intention of flying thousands of miles to China from thousands of miles away has not been achieved at all?

It's a blood loss!

What Konstantin thought about over and over again in bed was how to stop the loss.

This time I came to China, I had to get something to go back.

Now, Konstantin has come up with a practical plan.

"Whether I slept well or not, I don't bother Gu Lu to worry about you!" Konstantin snorted coldly, sat on the chair with his arms crossed, and stopped talking to Gu Lu.

…………

Seven o'clock sharp.

The award ceremony for the Morningside Mathematics Prize has officially begun.

The lights in the auditorium were dimmed.

The ceremonial celebrant in a suit stepped onto the stage.

The moderator first welcomed the crowd, and then introduced several leaders in the first row and nine members of the judging committee.

Then, there is the routine part - the leader speaks.

Gu Lu knew that there was this link, so he had been prepared for a long time.

Gu Lu made up for sleep in advance.

I promise not to be embarrassed by falling asleep when I listen to it.

When the leaders spoke, Gu Lu folded his hands and laid them flat on the table, looked at the front with empty eyes, and began to wander outside.

And Konstantin is different.

It was the first time he had come to China to attend an award ceremony, and he had never seen such a battle.

Konstantin was completely unprepared.

So when he saw the first leader who was arranged to give a speech on stage, and he didn't have any intention of stopping for nearly half an hour, Konstantin was devastated.

What's more critical is that Konstantin didn't sleep well at all last night, and now he's very sleepy.

So, gradually, Konstantin felt that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

Konstantin forced himself not to fall asleep.

But the speeches of the leaders on the stage were like hypnotic spells.

Konstantin did not have the professional training that Gu Lu did.

Of course, not long after the second leader came to the stage to speak, Konstantin fell asleep on his arm.

Konstantin sat in the middle of the first row.

A very conspicuous position.

As soon as he fell asleep, he was noticed by many people.

But everyone saw through it and didn't say anything, just whispered and snickered a little.

But......

Konstantin sleeps and forgets, but the point is that he is still snoring.

Even if you snore it, the special snoring sound is still very loud.

It didn't take long for Konstantin's snoring to drown out the leader's speech.

The speech of the leader on the stage stopped.

The eyes of more than 400 people in the audience focused on Konstantin who was snoring and drooling in the first row.

Another juror, who was sitting next to Konstantin, patted Konstantin on the arm.

"Professor Constantine, wake up, wake up!"

"Hmm~~"

Konstantin woke up in a daze and subconsciously wiped the saliva from his mouth.

In the next second, Konstantin was terrified.

Consciousness awakens instantly.

Because Konstantin had already sensed the eyes of the audience.

Konstantin swallowed hard and asked the jury next to him, "Did I fall asleep just now?"

The jury nodded, "Not only did you fall asleep, but you also snored. ”

"It's quite loud. The jury member silently added.

In this way, even if his skin is thick enough, Konstantin still blushes.

This...... What a shame!

Let Konstantin desperately find a crack in the ground to get into.

And Gu Lu was still silently mending the knife at this time.

"Professor Constantine, you fell asleep just now, and I'm afraid you probably don't know what's going on. Don't worry, though, I've already recorded the video and I'll send it to you later. Gu Lu smiled slightly.

Gu Lu was in a very good position, so he secretly took his mobile phone and recorded the scene just now.

"Gu Lu, you ......" Konstantin was stabbed by Gu Lu, and his anger increased greatly.

"That's what I'm supposed to do, you're welcome, and I don't have to thank me. "Gu Lu is in a good mood right now, so he doesn't mind playing with Konstantin.

"Hmph!" now the occasion, Konstantin could not do anything.

He could only hold his arms and snort coldly to express his anger.

…………

The awkward atmosphere at the scene was only alleviated after the leader on the stage made a little joke.

The leader's speech continued.

But Konstantin knew that he couldn't sleep and make jokes anymore, but his head still didn't listen to the command little by little.

"Konstantin, give you this. ”

The jury next to him poked Konstantin, then handed him a thin, pointed object in his hand.

"What is this?" Konstantin was stunned.

"Needle!" the jury member slowly spat out a word.

"When you want to sleep, prick yourself with this, and you won't be sleepy. The jury member explained the use of Gu Lu, "It's very effective, believe me, I have experience." ”

Konstantin took the needle from his hand suspiciously.

Konstantin hesitated and pricked the back of his hand with the tip of a needle.

"Hiss——!"

Konstantin gasped.

It hurts, it hurts.

But the effect is really good.

One stitch down.

Konstantin was not only not sleepy, but he also felt energetic and motivated.

It was as if Konstantin had discovered a new continent.

After listening to it for a while, I was sleepy, so I gave myself a stitch, and when I was sleepy, I got another stitch, and I was still sleepy?

Stitch after stitch!

Konstantin finally made it to the end of the leaders' speeches.

But look up.

The back of the hand is already densely packed with needle holes.

…………

The process of the award ceremony finally came to the most eye-catching part of announcing the list of winners.

The ten nominees sitting in the second row, except for Gu Lu, were all full of nervousness and uneasiness.

Four of the ten are over thirty-six years old.

If I hadn't won the award this time.

According to the number of years stipulated by the Morningside Math Prize, they will never win another prize in their lifetime.

So, this time this year, it's their last chance.

The host reappeared on stage with an envelope in his hand.

Unwrapping the envelope, the host held a card.

"In my hands is the list of five winners of this year's Morningside Prize in Mathematics. ”

The host looked at everyone in the audience and smiled slightly.

More than four hundred people in the auditorium held their breath almost at the same time.

The moderator took a deep breath and spoke aloud.

"Now, it's up to me to announce the winners of this year's Morningside Prize in Mathematics!"

"They are ......"
