"Hey, Junxin, it's really you." Just as Junxin was about to leave Nasu Hall, a familiar voice sounded in Junxin's ears.

"Oh, Mengxue, it's you!" Without looking back, Junxin knew who was coming. So he smiled and responded, "How do you know when I'm coming to Princeton?" ”

"I just went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and Julianne, a work-study student over there, told me that a Chinese student had already come before me. Julianne was a student in the Faculty of Letters like me, and she lived in the same apartment as me, and she took good care of me for the past two days. ”

"Then how did you think it was me?"

"Because Senior Julianne said that you are very face-saving, and it is the first time I have seen you. That's why I guess you've arrived. Gu Mengxue replied as a matter of course.

"Hmm!" Jun Xin nodded, turned around and looked at Gu Mengxue, "Then how did you know that I would be on Nasutang's side instead of going to the Fan Building?" After all, it stands to reason that the Fan building is more attractive to me. ”

"The Fan building is too far away, it is still two kilometers away, Nasu Tang is left in the campus, I will look for you in the campus first!"

"Okay!" Jun Xin nodded with a smile, took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Gu Mengxue, and said, "What about the others?" ”

"Since the school hasn't started yet, they've been visiting the school for the past two days, and they're going to go to the Institute for Advanced Study today, after all, it's the holy place of the whole Princeton."

"Oh, let's go together!" Jun Xin continued with Gu Mengxue's words, "I also want to go and see the style of the Institute for Advanced Study!" ”

In this way, Junxin and Gu Mengxue came to the front of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Two kilometers away, the two of them talked and laughed, but it took nearly an hour to walk slowly.

"It's here! Did you say where you would meet them? Stopping in front of the three-story building, which looked inconspicuous at all, Jun Xin asked with a sigh.

"Of course, I made an appointment to gather at the door at nine o'clock, it's only half past eight, let's wait!" Gu Mengxue glanced at her watch and said.

"It's good!" Jun Xin bowed his head and said, "Then let's go and sit in the big park in front of us, I guess those of them who came early will have the same idea." ”

Not far from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, across the low-lying part of a sidewalk, is a large, sparsely populated park. Junxin's proposal was also in Gu Mengxue's mind, so the two came to the big park.

"How are you doing in Canada?"

"Nothing special!" Junxin said in a flat tone, "It's just to talk about academic topics with those old men who are twice my age, how can it be pleasing to be with you!" ”

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but your mouth is getting better and better at talking." Gu Mengxue said angrily, "I found that you are a little different from before today, has something happened?" ”

"It's just that some things have figured it out!" Junxin said in an understated tone, "It's been solved, don't worry, it's not a bad thing!" "For some of his own privacy, even if it is the person closest to him, Junxin will not say a word.

"Oh!" Gu Mengxue nodded and didn't ask any further, she knew that if Junxin wanted to tell her, she wouldn't hide it, since she didn't want to say it, Gu Mengxue wouldn't force him, this was a smart girl.

"Yo, I saw the two of you show affection here early in the morning, isn't it?" As he spoke, a familiar voice came. Jun Xin looked back, it turned out that Senior Sister Chen and the others had come to Jun Xin and Gu Mengxue behind me for some time.

"Are you all here?" Junxin didn't take this sentence, but asked rhetorically.

"It's all here!" Chen Xiuli stroked her hair and replied in the style of an eldest sister.

"Do you know which professors are on duty at the Institute for Advanced Study today?" Junxin asked again.

"Of course!" Chen Xiuli smiled indifferently and said, "I have already inquired, there are three professors on duty today, Professor William Thurston, Professor Faltings and Professor Edward Witten, but many other professors are also here, so I don't know how many professors are here, after all, when they will come, whether they want to come or not There is a lot of freedom in the Institute for Advanced Study." Chen Xiuli shook her head helplessly and said.

"Okay!" Jun Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wouldn't it be better to go in and see!" ”

So they left the park and came to the front of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Although the Institute for Advanced Study and the university are administratively separated, non-interfering and subordinate to each other, they have close academic contacts, so when they heard that the dozen or so people in front of them were students of Princeton University, the doorman just checked the documents and let them go, which is also a convenient place that distinguishes Princeton University from other universities.

When you see a large number of portraits of scientists who have become legends or names of theoretical formulas in textbooks, and all of them are scientists from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, you will be deeply shocked by the foundation of this institute.

It's like if you're a fan, and suddenly one day you can go into the place where they used to work, and it's an unimaginable shock for a die-hard fan. What's more, the style of visiting here is far more stylish and shocking than visiting the studios of those stars.

But Jun Xin didn't think there was anything shocking, in fact, he had been to this place many times, and this is what he meant by seeing more. But he wondered why no one had received them yet. It stands to reason that if it weren't for something to come to the professors, the doorman would have notified the field staff here to come out to receive them, especially their group of visitors.

"You guys visit here first, I'll go to the second floor!" Although it was strange, Junxin didn't take it to heart, and turned to Gu Mengxue and the others and said, "The second floor is where the School of Mathematics is located, and I can just go and talk to Professor Faltins, and I haven't thanked him in person for reviewing and giving me the green light for my article last year!" ”

"Aren't you with us?" Chen Xiuli asked a little unhappily.

"No, it's just that I've never been very interested in visiting this kind of thing, and it just so happened that Professor Faltings was here today, so I went up first!" After a pause, Jun Xin said, "Someone will come to show you around later, just follow him, anyway, this place will come often in the future, and it will not be bad this time." After saying that, he waved his hand, and before they could come to their senses, they ran up to the second floor.
