Chapter 104: A kick woke him up
Dusty memories burst out like seeds, and scenes from decades ago slowly turned in front of my eyes.
Tang Yuanmao has an outstanding IQ since he was a child, and he is a prodigy in everyone's eyes, and he can memorize nearly 1,000 ancient poems at the age of 2.
With his super high intelligence, he skipped grades all the way after going to school, and at the age of 23, he completed his doctoral studies and entered the Zijin Research Institute.
He thought that he was already the best among geniuses, but it wasn't until he saw Sang Ning that he knew what it meant to be someone else.
After entering the graduate school, he was placed as an assistant under the honorary dean.
Tang Yuanmao thought that the honorary dean must be an elderly person, but when Sang Ning stretched out his hand and greeted him politely and detachedly, he was stunned.
"Xiaotang, hello, I'm Sang Ning, the honorary president of the Zijin Research Institute." Sang Ning was wearing a wide white lab coat and had neat shoulder-length hair.
Tang Yuanmao is petrified, this person looks like he is only in his early 20s, when his junior sister is almost the same, how can he be the honorary dean?
After being stunned for a while, he stretched out his right hand and symbolically shook Sang Ning's hand.
But the moment he withdrew his hand, a trace of imperceptible disdain flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, he didn't believe that Sang Ning had this kind of strength, and even had an evil conjecture in his heart.
Did Sang Ning rely on this overly beautiful face to get into the position of nominal dean?
Soon, after working with Sang Ning for a while, he dispelled this idea, and even felt a little guilty because of his unwarranted malicious speculation about Sang Ning.
Sang Ning has a strong ability and has led the institute to make several sensational scientific research projects around the world, making the Zijin Research Institute from a small research institute with a small name to a world-leading advanced research institute.
Tang Yuanmao was impressed by Sang Ning's professionalism and rigor, and from being suspicious at the beginning to following her to do research with her in the end.
Although Sang Ning's work ability is very good, her personality is very arrogant, and she has no friends who can speak in the research institute, and the people in the research institute are just colleagues in her eyes.
Tang Yuanmao didn't know anything about Sang Ning, and no one in the courtyard knew her background, only that she seemed to be very young, and she didn't even know her specific age, and Sang Ning was a very mysterious existence in the research institute.
Tang Yuanmao knew that Sang Ning was difficult to get along with, but he really loved astronomical research, as long as he could learn things under Sang Ning, he didn't care what kind of character his boss was.
It is said that people with high IQ are prone to mental illness, and Tang Yuanmao did research for a while to the point of going crazy, and he fell into a situation of extreme paranoia.
He was originally introverted, and as soon as he entered the graduate school, his colleagues labeled him as withdrawn, and when he was crazy, he was always babbling about something.
Colleagues think he is a monster even more, avoiding him like a snake and scorpion.
The doubts in his heart could not be answered, so he was always uneasy, so he took the initiative to find someone to discuss the doubts in his heart.
But his spirit was so abnormal during that time that none of his colleagues wanted to talk to him.
Tang Yuanmao panicked, even his colleagues didn't want to deal with him, would his teacher with a strange personality be willing to take care of him?
Tang Yuanmao is about to go crazy, and if he can't find the truth, he would rather die.
On a starry night, he looked up at the stars alone from the astronomical observatory.
The ancient poem "Staying in the Mountain Temple at Night" suddenly popped up in my mind, and my mouth also muttered it.
The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars by hand. I dare not raise my voice, for fear of frightening the people in heaven.
As he walked forward, he raised his hands high and made grasping motions, as if he were only separated from the stars in the sky.
At first, he wanted to study stars because he liked them, but now that stars are making him so miserable, he doesn't want to study them.
Under the bewitchment of the night, he had the idea of jumping off the observatory to commit suicide, as long as his brain stopped thinking, he should no longer be in pain, right?
So he closed his eyes and slowly walked towards the edge of the observatory, reciting the ancient poem "Staying at the Mountain Temple at Night" affectionately as he walked.
Jump, jump, jump and there will be no pain!
A dark thought from the depths of his heart urged him to move closer to the edge, and just as his left foot was about to hang in the air, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Xiaotang, what are you going to do?"
He opened his eyes and turned back, under the night, Sang Ning's eyebrows and eyes exuded anger.
Tang Yuanmao was stunned, and immediately forgot about the idea of committing suicide, this was the first time he saw a look other than indifference on Sang Ning's face.
Before he came back to his senses, he saw Sang Ning like a heroine in a martial arts movie, tapping the ground with her toes, and jumping towards him with light skills.
He had two words in his heart at the time:!
Is their dean so skilled?
But in just a few breaths, Sang Ning came to him, grabbed his hand, and dragged him back from the edge of the cliff.
Without a gentle word to soothe his soul, he threw him directly to the ground, looked at him impatiently with his arms crossed, and even stretched out his foot and kicked him hard, who was sitting on the ground weak and helpless.
"Do you want to die, report me?" Sang Ning's angry voice was extremely fierce.
Tang Yuanmao thought that if his next answer was not in line with Sang Ning's wishes, he would probably be kicked to death.
He's scared, he's really scared!
Being kicked by Sang Ning like this, he suddenly had an epiphany, the truth is infinite and inexhaustible, just enjoy the process of pursuing the truth, why do you have to ask for a result.
He didn't dare to tell Sang Ning the truth, swallowed his saliva, hid the weakness in his eyes through the night, and said weakly: "I didn't want to die, I just came to blow the night breeze." ”
Sang Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, obviously not believing his words, but she didn't continue to embarrass him.
After this incident, Tang Yuanmao finally unloaded the line of defense that he had set up faintly against Sang Ning in his heart, he was quite interesting as a teacher, and he didn't seem to be as impersonal as everyone imagined.
In the following days, Tang Yuanmao followed Sang Ning to do research, and the questions that had been bothering him before were also answered from another angle under the guidance of Sang Ning, and the remaining obsessions in his heart were slowly smoothed out.
Later, Tang Yuanmao slowly learned that Sang Ning had been paying attention to him during the time when he was crazy, and the reason why he didn't care about him at first was because he thought he could figure it out by himself, but he didn't think that he was about to commit suicide when he pondered and pondered.
Even on the day he wanted to commit suicide, it was not by chance that Sang Ning appeared at the Astronomical Observatory.
Since then, Sang Ning has become Tang Yuanmao's belief in his heart, and his title to Sang Ning has changed from a slightly alienated "dean" to a respectful "teacher".
But he didn't expect that faith would disappear.
Sang Ning led the institute to win an international award again, and on the day she was about to fly abroad to receive the award, Sang Ning told him very seriously that she was leaving.
