Chapter 177: Are You Sure You Want to Be My Sister?
Five years later, the University of London, England.
The large, bright lecture hall was full of students.
The person who is lecturing today is a new professor in economics. The professor's main focus is money and banking, and he only teaches one class a week.
In the classroom, Xia Zimo, a beautiful girl in the flower season, sat in the middle of the lecture hall, and next to her sat the genius boy Shang Fangxu.
Xia Zimo listened attentively to the professor's lecture, and from time to time glanced at Shang Fangxu, who had been holding a tablet and was seriously processing the email.
I saw Shang Fangxu's fair-skinned and slender ten fingers jumping like flying on the projection keyboard, and his speed of reading emails was faster than flipping through a book. Xia Zimo pursed his lips and continued to listen attentively.
In fact, the professor noticed Shang Fangxu and Xia Zimo from the beginning.
I noticed the two of them, not only because they had good-looking and attractive oriental faces, but also because of all the students who were listening to the class, they were very young, compared to the other adult students in the room. They are more like children.
The professor not only noticed that Shang Fangxu and Xia Zimo were very young, but also noticed that from the beginning of the class to the present, Shang Fangxu has never raised his head, and his two hands have been placed under the table and have never been picked up.
The professor concluded that Shang Fangxu must have never listened to his lectures from beginning to end.
Xia Zimo looked at the professor who was gradually walking towards him, and then glanced at Shang Fangxu, who continued to lower his head and deal with business, and quickly pulled his sleeve.
Shang Fangxu glanced at Xia Zimo. As if not noticing, he continued to discuss things with Shang Fangyan on the Internet.
Xia Zimo saw that Shang Fangxu didn't react, so he simply pinched him on his thigh.
Shang Fangxujun twisted his eyebrows. Suddenly turned his head sideways to look at Xia Zimo, and at this time, the professor had stopped at Xia Zimo's right hand, and he was sitting on Xia Zimo's left hand side.
"This classmate, are you very busy?" The professor stared at the computer interface where Shang Fangxu was still chatting with Shang Fangyan and asked.
Xia Zimo glanced at Shang Fangxu, pretending not to know him, with a calm expression.
Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows and turned off the computer with one click. Then he stood up and said apologetically, "Yes, Professor, I'm a little busy. ”
Because he is discussing with Shang Fangyan a very important capital injection plan, if this capital injection plan is implemented, not only the Shang family, but also the entire economic pattern of Southeast Asia may be affected.
The professor looked young, but there was an infinite calm atmosphere between his eyebrows, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, and Shang Fangxu, who was calm and calm, couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
"If you're busy, don't come to my class and waste your limited teaching resources." Good feelings are good feelings, and the professor's tone sounded a little stern.
Xia Zimo's head drooped slightly, she knew that she shouldn't have dragged Shang Fangxu to accompany her to the class.
Shang Fangxu noticed Xia Zimo's little embarrassment out of the corner of his eyes, the corners of his lips pulled slightly, and he looked at the professor and said, "Professor, I think you probably misunderstood, although I am a little busy, I still listen to your class very seriously." ”
The professor was a little incredulous, the little boy was so rampant, obviously he had noticed that Shang Fangxu hadn't looked up to listen to his lecture from the beginning to the present.
Everyone in the classroom looked at Shang Fangxu curiously, and many people also noticed that Shang Fangxu hadn't actually listened to the class, and they didn't understand why Shang Fangxu answered like this.
The professor smiled, "Okay, then in order to prove that you are not wasting resources, but are listening carefully to my lectures, then please answer a few questions from me." ”
Shang Fangxu nodded politely, and said generously, "Professor, excuse me." ”
All the students were amazed and stared at the show.
Xia Zimo, who hung her head, pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief, she was not worried that Shang Fangxu would not be able to answer the professor's question.
Seeing Shang Fangxu's self-confidence, the professor began to look at him with admiration.
"Can you tell me, what is debt financing and economic monetization?"
Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows, this kind of simple undergraduate junior course, he had seen it before he was ten years old.
"Debt financing refers to the formation of a creditor-debtor relationship between the parties to the financing. Among them, the debtor's legal liability is to pay interest to the creditor on time and repay the principal according to the contract; Creditors have the right to claim repayment of interest and principal, but not other earnings. ”
Shang Fangxu slowly read out the definition in the book, not wrong word for word, and then read out the next article, "Economic monetization - refers to the proportion of goods and services purchased with money in a country's national economy in total output and the process of its change." ”
Listening to Shang Fangxu's clear and accurate answer, everyone began to talk about each other.
The professor nodded, Shang Fangxu's answer was impeccable, and he asked, "What are the main factors that affect the currency multiplier?"
Shang Fangxu didn't even think about it, and blurted out directly, "The money multiplier refers to the multiple relationship between the money supply and the base currency. Different gauge money supply has its own different money multiplier. There are two main factors that determine and affect the currency multiplier: the currency-to-deposit ratio and the reserve-to-deposit ratio. ”
Everyone listened to Shang Fangxu's answer, a little dumbfounded, although this question is not difficult, but it is difficult for everyone to answer it without thinking about it, after all, these things are things that the professor just talked about.
The professor nodded with satisfaction, but he still didn't believe that these contents were the result of Shang Fangxu's careful listening to the lecture just now.
"What's your name?"
Shang Fangxu hesitated in this question, because he knew that at the University of London, many teachers and students knew his name.
"Professor, his name is Shang Fangxu, he is a genius, he is only fifteen years old now, but he has already obtained a master's degree in four majors." One of the students excitedly replied for Shang Fangxu.
Shang Fangxu is at the University of London, which is a legend that has never been seen before or since.
Although Shang Fangxu has always maintained a low-key and calm style, it seems that it is indeed difficult to be recognized.
As soon as everyone heard that it was Shang Fangxu, they all let out a voice of surprise and admiration, and began to discuss again.
Xia Zimo listened to the voice of his classmates, and began to sweat silently in his heart.
How could a freshman who had just entered the school know about Shang Fangxu, and if she had known, she wouldn't have dragged him to accompany her to class.
Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows a little helplessly, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of fat, although he is not afraid of anything.
"You're Shang Fangxu?!" The professor looked quite excited, and looked at Shang Fangxu with wide eyes.
Shang Fangxu nodded and smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.
The professor laughed out loud and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you come to such a simple basic course when you already have master's degrees in four majors?" Isn't that a waste of your time? ”
Shang Fangxu smiled, lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Zimo, who was lowering his head, and at this time, Xia Zimo's cheeks were already dyed with a layer of peach.
Is she being shy?
It's really rare, the dignified piano princess Xia Zimo will also be shy.
"Professor, he's here to accompany me in class."
Just as Shang Fangxu's eyes were full of joy and wanted to answer the professor's question, Xia Zimo's voice sounded suddenly.
This time, everyone's curious eyes were all transferred from Shang Fangxu's body to Xia Zimo's body, not only the professor, but also some students were curious.
Because those who know the situation know that Shang Fangxu is not only a genius, but also has a unique personality.
I heard that Shang Fangxu is arrogant and lonely, rarely makes friends, let alone a girlfriend, he is always a maverick, and no one can influence his sense of words and deeds.
And Shang Fangxu's identity is even more of a mystery to everyone, no one knows which country and region he is from, let alone his family background, or who his parents are, but whether it is a teacher or a student at school, they are very friendly and even respectful to him.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, the name Shang Fangxu not only represents the existence of a genius, but also represents the unattainable distance.
The professor carefully looked at Xia Zimo from top to bottom again, looking at the slim, beautiful and elegant girl in front of him, the professor vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Then may I ask this classmate, what is your name?"
Xia Zimo bit his lip and became more and more annoyed.
She really doesn't want to become famous overnight in school because of Shang Fangxu.
Shang Fangxu looked at Xia Zimo with a look of annoyance and shyness, he was really cute, much cuter than the somewhat domineering and savage Xia Zimo at home.
Anyway, he has already become famous, and he is not afraid of becoming more famous because of Xia Zimo.
Now, Shang Fangxu just wanted to appreciate Xia Zimo's cute appearance of annoyance and shyness.
"Professor, her name is Xia Zimo, the piano princess Xia Zimo, the piano princess who held a solo world tour concert at the age of eight." Another student excitedly replied for Xia Zimo.
The professor suddenly realized, and said excitedly, "Yes, Xia Zimo, you are Xia Zimo, my daughter likes you very much." ”
Xia Zimo sighed in her heart in annoyance, it seems that this class can't go down properly, and in the future, it seems that she can't be a low-key person in school.
Raising his eyes and looking at the professor and smiling, Xia Zimo said very sincerely, "Professor, I'm sorry, I disrupted the order of your class, your class is very good and vivid, but I'd better listen to it another day." ”
After speaking, Xia Zimo grabbed his schoolbag with one hand, grabbed Shang Fangxu's wrist with the other and ran out of the classroom.
Shang Fangxu reacted, immediately grabbed his tablet, and then escaped from the classroom with Xia Zimo like a thief.
Everyone looked at Shang Fangxu and Xia Zimo's fleeing figures, and shouted regretfully, and they all had the urge to catch up.
Xia Zimo dragged Shang Fangxu all the way away from the teaching building, and came to a stop on a grass with few people on the side of the teaching building.
Shang Fangxu looked at the panting Xia Zimo and tried to hold back his smile, "Xia Zimo, what are you running?" ”
Xia Zimo panted and raised his head and glanced at Shang Fangxu.
Both fifteen-year-old boys and girls, Xia Zimo was actually a little taller than Shang Fangxu.
"I'm on my first day of class today, do I want the whole school to know that you're my boyfriend?"
Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows very happily, looked at Xia Zimo, who was a little taller than himself, and said, "Then you can tell them that I am your younger brother just like last time." ”
In fact, Shang Fangxu is three months and two days younger than Xia Zimo, and a year ago, when the two of them went out alone, they met Xia Zimo's classmate, and Xia Zimo actually introduced to her classmates that Shang Fangxu was her younger brother.
Shang Fangxu couldn't cry or laugh at that time, but Shang Fangxu a year ago was really much shorter than Xia Zimo, and when Xia Zimo said this, others really believed it.
Listening to Shang Fangxu's somewhat angry words, Xia Zimo's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent, and he said excitedly, "Yes, I can tell others that you are my younger brother, anyway, you are shorter than me." ”
Shang Fangxu squinted at Xia Zimo rather depressedly, "Xia Zimo, are you sure you want to be my sister?" ”
Xia Zimo raised his eyebrows proudly, "Yes, Aunt Chu Qiao explained to me when I came to London, she said that you can't take care of yourself in life, let me take good care of you." ”
Shang Fangxu "cut" disappreciatively, "Okay, then all my food, clothing, housing and transportation problems will be handed over to you." ”
Someone rushed to take care of him, so why wouldn't he do it.
"Oops!" Xia Zimo frowned lightly, "You accompany me back to class first, if someone asks us what our relationship is, you will say that it is my cousin, you can't talk nonsense, you know?" ”
With that, Xia Zimo pulled Shang Fangxu and went to the classroom again.
Shang Fangxu shrugged, not minding Xia Zimo at all that he was her cousin in front of others, anyway, there was a time when she begged him.
***********
After class in the afternoon, Shang Fangxu and Xia Zimo returned to Shang's apartment near the University of London, and as soon as they dropped their schoolbags, Xia Zimo went back to the study to sort out the course notes they had learned today.
Although Xia Zimo is very smart and has always had a good academic performance, she was admitted to the University of London at the age of fifteen majoring in economics, which is definitely not only because of her intelligence, but also because of her hard work.
Xia Zimo knew very well in her heart that Shang Fangxu was a genius, and it was impossible for her to go hand in hand with him, but she couldn't fall too far behind Shang Fangxu.
A normal undergraduate degree takes four years to complete, a master's degree takes three years, and a total of seven years.
It is impossible for Shang Fangxu to accompany her in London for seven years, so Xia Zimo must work hard, and he must work very hard to get a bachelor's degree in two years and a master's degree in one year.
In this way, when they reach adulthood at the age of eighteen, they can return home together.
How wonderful it is!
Otherwise, Shang Fangxu was so good, she didn't want others to snatch Shang Fangxu away.
It's just that Xia Zimo sat down in the study for less than ten minutes, and Shang Fangxu's cool voice sounded behind her.
"Xia Zimo, I'm hungry."
"Isn't there a servant, you let them cook." Xia Zimo didn't look at Shang Fangxu and replied.
Shang Fangxu looked at Xia Zimo's look of a good student who studied seriously and smiled, and said in a very indifferent tone, "I have a holiday for the maid who is responsible for cooking and cleaning." ”
Xia Zimo looked sideways at Shang Fangxu at the door, puzzled, "Why?" ”
Shang Fangxu picked the corners of his lips and smiled, "Didn't you say it, I can't take care of myself, you promised my mommy that she would take good care of me." ”
Xia Zimo looked at the smile on the corner of Shang Fangxu's lips with a hint of provocation, and squinted at him fiercely, "Okay, then I'll call for fast food." ”
"Xia Zimo, you know, I never eat fast food."
Xia Zimo frowned, "Then what do you want?" ”
"You cook for me!" Shang Fangxu looked like a matter of course, who called Xia Zimo and said that he was her cousin, who told Xia Zimo that he would take care of him.
Moreover, Shang Fangxu knew that although Xia Zimo was the daughter of the Mo family in the palm of her hand, she actually knew how to cook when she was more than six years old.
Now Xia Zimo is fifteen years old, so cooking should be a side dish for Xia Zimo.
Xia Zimo pursed his lips and snorted, "I don't have time to cook for you, I called for fast food, do you like to eat or not." ”
She shouldn't get used to him, otherwise, she will be bullied for a long time in the future.
Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows, his face was tasteless, anyway, he just didn't eat fast food.
Ten minutes later, Xia Zimo's fast food arrived. Dirt Claw Skill.
Phisan, chicken wings, pasta, Coke, Shang Fangxu didn't even look at it, and let Xia Zimo sit at the table alone to eat.
"Hey, Shang Fangxu, are you really not eating?"
Shang Fangxu sat on the sofa, holding the remote control and changing the channel boredly, and said decisively, "Don't eat." ”
Xia Zimo sneered at Shang Fangxu, "I don't like to eat." ”
Soon, Xia Zimo went back to the study to continue studying, and put Shang Fangxu's fast food on the dining table as it was.
Looking at Xia Zimo's slender figure that disappeared from his sight, Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows, took the tablet on the side and started playing the game.
After staying in the study for three hours, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when Xia Zimo came out of the study.
However, she actually found that the fast food left for Shang Fangxu on the table was actually placed there untouched, and Shang Fangxu was no longer in the living room at this time.
Seeing the light on in Shang Fangxu's study, Xia Zimo strode over, and at this time, Shang Fangxu was burying his head in front of the computer.
Xia Zimo knew that although Shang Fangxu was only fifteen years old, he had already taken the initiative to help Chu Qiao and Shang Fangyan share the Shang family's business affairs.
Looking at Shang Fangxu, who was working hungry, Xia Zimo's heart suddenly softened.
Turning around and leaving, Xia Zimo went to the kitchen, although she hadn't cooked for a long, long time, but such a small thing as cooking still couldn't be difficult for her.
Looking at Xia Zimo, who turned around and disappeared at the door of his study, Shang Fangxu raised the corners of his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
In fact, he didn't necessarily have to let Xia Zimo cook for him personally, he just didn't want to see Xia Zimo buried in the stacks of books all day long.
Reading should be a hobby, not a burden for Xia Zimo.
In the kitchen, Xia Zimo quickly began to get busy.
After washing the rice and cooking the rice first, Xia Zimo took the beef and baby cabbage from the refrigerator, because she likes to eat the boiled beef made by Xia Nian the most, so today she also wants to make a boiled beef for Shang Fangxu.
After the beef and baby cabbage were washed and cut again, Xia Zimo thought about it, and found ginger, garlic, and red dried chili peppers in the kitchen, fortunately, there was no shortage of ingredients in the kitchen, otherwise, her boiled beef would definitely not be authentic.
When all the ingredients to be used were ready, Xia Zimo looked at the various ingredients and seemed to be a little worried.
Although she had eaten the boiled beef made by Xia Nian countless times, she had never done it herself, so she called Xia Nian again and asked Xia Nian how to make the boiled beef.
Xia Nian on the other end of the phone was very surprised that her baby daughter actually asked her how to make boiled beef.
"Baby, do you miss Mommy's boiled beef? Mommy will fly to Lun tomorrow to make it for you. Xia Nian replied very seriously on the other end of the phone, her daughter had only been away for a week, but she couldn't think about it anymore.
"No, it's Shang Fangxu who hasn't eaten dinner yet."
Xia Nian on the other end of the phone sighed lightly and smiled helplessly, the eldest lady, the baby daughter of their Mo family, is now actually a nanny for Shang Fangxu's kid, and she is willing.
So, Shang Fangxu's kid, it's really hateful!
Another day, she had to talk to Chu Qiao about it, and she couldn't let Shang Fangxu continue to bully her baby daughter.
"Baby, are you sure you want to do it yourself? Can't you let the maid do it? ”
Xia Zimo's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Mommy, why did you suddenly become verbose, tell me quickly, Shang Fangxu is still hungry." ”
Hearing her daughter's complaints, Xia Nian felt like she couldn't cry or laugh.
Oh, my God! She was actually disgusted by her daughter.
It seems that the female university is really not staying.
Without any further delay, Xia Nian told Xia Zimo all the processes and secrets of making boiled beef.
Xia Zimo wrote down what Xia Nian said with a pen, hung up the phone, and immediately ran to the kitchen.
Marinate the beef with egg whites first, then boil the water, and copy the baby cabbage with boiling water until it is half-cooked.
After scooping up the baby cabbage and filling it in a crystal vegetable plate, Xia Zimo began to pour oil into another hot pot.
When the oil was hot and had begun to smoke, Xia Zimo put the prepared ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers into the pot.
It was just the things that were put into the pot, and before the hand could be withdrawn, a miserable scream came from the kitchen.
"Ahh
Shang Fangxu, who was still in the study, heard Xia Zimo's scream, and rushed to the kitchen without thinking at all.
In the kitchen, Xia Zimo watched as she was burned by the splashed hot oil on the back of her left hand, the skin on the back of her hand was rapidly turning red, and the hot pain instantly attacked her entire brain, making her not know what to do.
Suddenly, all I heard was a "boom", and the flames rushed into the pot where the hot oil was boiling, and the whole pot was on fire.
"Ahh
There was another shout, and Xia Zimo retreated again and again in fright.
At this time, Shang Fangxu, who rushed into the kitchen at an arrow, saw the fire burning in the pot, and without thinking about it, he rushed forward to pick up the lid of the pot that was placed aside, completely ignoring the burning fire, reached over, put the lid down into the pot, and then quickly turned off the fire source.
"Xia Zimo, are you okay?" Although there was still a small flame burning on the edge of the pot, Shang Fangxu couldn't care about it at all, and turned to look at Xia Zimo, who was in pain, and asked worriedly.
Xia Zimo looked at Shang Fangxu's series of coherent and rapid movements and the fire that had been extinguished, and was stunned for a moment.
