Chapter 324 Listen carefully to the class and don’t be distracted
More than a month later, Wen Song was invited to give a special lecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich on the interaction between particle physics and planet formation.
Because she had just won the Gruber Prize not long ago, Iseylia Wen's name became famous in the European physics community, so there were a lot of people coming to her lectures, and the Aula was almost full.
After the one-hour lecture, there was a question-and-answer session. Wen Song felt a little dizzy and had a stuffy nose due to a cold he had had for several days, but he still forced himself to answer the questions carefully.
After the Q&A session, Professor Fortaine, who invited her, stepped forward and said, “Thank you very much, Professor Iseylia. It was really wonderful. I was also attracted and learned a lot. My research group is currently studying high-energy gamma rays. I remember that you are also involved in ESA's research project on gamma rays. It would be great if we could cooperate.”
"Of course, it's my honor." Wen Song said with a smile, "The two monographs on high-energy gamma rays published by Professor Fortaine also provide a very solid theoretical foundation and support for our research project. If I can cooperate with you, I believe our research will progress more smoothly."
"That's great." Professor Fortaine suggested, "It's still early. If you don't have anything else to do, we can go to my office to talk and preliminarily determine the direction of future cooperation."
Wen Song glanced at the time, shook his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my husband's class is about to end, so I have to go find him now. Maybe tomorrow? I have time all day tomorrow. Professor Fortaine can email me after he confirms the time."
"Of course, no problem." Professor Fortaine listened to her and asked curiously, "Is Professor Iseylia's husband also at ETH? Is he also a professor at the college?"
"No." Wen Song smiled and said, "He is a graduate student in the Department of Architecture. I remember that Professor Fortaine also likes skiing. Maybe you have heard of Roche Cheng?"
"Of course." Professor Fortaine said with a look of admiration, "A Chinese athlete who won the slopestyle event at two consecutive Winter Olympics. Anyone who likes freestyle skiing should know him."
Wen Song also showed a little pride and said: "He is my husband."
"It turned out to be him?" Professor Fortaine was also very surprised. "I didn't expect that he would study architecture in our college and be Professor Iseylia's husband. It's really unexpected. Then I won't disturb your date. I will go back and check tomorrow's schedule. After confirming the time, I will send it to your email. See you tomorrow, Professor Iseylia."
When they arrived at the teaching building of the Department of Architecture, Wen Song took a look and saw that there were still more than ten minutes before Cheng Che's class was over. He also saw that his class was a lecture. The back door of the classroom happened to be wide open, and several students were going in and out. She followed them in.
Cheng Che still sat in the back row as usual, with a computer and a notebook in front of him. He listened to the professor's lecture attentively and took notes.
He was wearing a light grey sweatshirt, black jeans and glasses today while taking notes. He looked like an ordinary male college student. It was hard to associate him with the talented skier who crushed everyone to win the gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
Wen Song saw a girl with an oriental face sitting on his right, and the seat on his left was empty. She walked over and sat next to Cheng Che without making a sound.
Of course Cheng Che still saw her and smelled the familiar perfume on her. He turned his head to look at her with a surprised expression, lowered his voice and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Wen Song glanced at the podium, where the professor was summarizing mechanical calculations on the blackboard. He poked Cheng Che's arm and whispered to him, "Follow the class carefully and don't be distracted."
"Got it, Professor Iseylia." Cheng Che smiled and continued to listen attentively, but his left hand tightly held her hand, interlocking their fingers and refusing to let go.
Hearing her nasal tone again, he took his coat and put it on her, saying softly, "Do you have a cold? Don't catch a cold."
After class, Cheng Che hugged her, put his arm around Wen Song's shoulders and asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly? You didn't even tell me in advance. Is this a surprise inspection?"
I saw that she was wearing light makeup and a pair of transparent framed glasses today, which made her look cooler and more elegant. She was wearing a black silk loose shirt and a white silk fishtail skirt, which was more formal than usual. I vaguely guessed that she was in Zurich on a business trip.
"Yes." Wen Song saw that there were not many people around, so he leaned forward and kissed him, saying, "You are very serious. It seems that you didn't do anything behind my back."
"Of course not." Cheng Che took her hand and said, "Then let's go home. I'll make dinner for my sister."
As soon as she left the classroom, Wen Song saw the girl who had just sat next to Cheng Che. She walked up to him and said in Chinese, "Cheng Che, who is this? Let's go to the library together, okay? I still have some questions about this group task, and I want to discuss it with you."
When she spoke, she had a strong Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, and she glanced at Wen Song from time to time.
Wen Song smiled faintly and glanced at Cheng Che. Well, it’s still the same as before, attracting many people.
"This is my wife, Iseylia." Cheng Che took her hand and introduced her, "Baby, this is my classmate, Julie. She is also Chinese, from Hong Kong."
"Hello." Wen Song didn't like the way Julie was staring at her just now, so she greeted him with a fake smile and said to Cheng Che, "If you have something to do, go ahead. I'm going home first."
Julie immediately said, "Let's go Roche. This assignment is really difficult. The deadline is on Friday, and there is a presentation on Monday. Can I give it to you? Your spoken English is better, unlike other mainlanders I met before, whose English is weird."
Wen Song couldn't help but sneer when he heard her words. Cheng Che noticed her displeasure and quickly said to her, "I'm not going. Let's go home."
"Go ahead." Wen Song smiled and said to him, "I just received an email from Professor Fortaine. He told me that he has something urgent to do tomorrow and asked me if I have time today. I will go to his office now to discuss gamma ray cooperation with him."
"Professor Fortaine?" Cheng Che asked in confusion, "Is he a professor in our college?"
"Yes." Wen Song nodded and said, "He is a professor at your college's Institute for Particle and Astrophysics. I am here today to give a guest lecture at his invitation. He said he wants to collaborate with me on research on high energetic gamma rays and interaction with protoplanetary disks. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go discuss this with Professor Fortaine first and come back to see you when I'm done."
After hearing what she said, Cheng Che chuckled and said deliberately: "Okay, so you didn't come to see me specially. Sure enough, work is more important than me."
"Silly boy." Wen Song smiled and stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin. "I came to see you, too. Otherwise, how could I come to accompany you to class right after the lecture?"
Julie listened to her and said meaningfully: "Oh, so you are Professor? Which university?"
(So you are a professor? Which university?)
Wen Song glanced at her and said bluntly: "It's none of your business."
Cheng Che was also a little unhappy and said coldly: "Munich University, Iseylia is a professor of astrophysics at the University of Munich."
Julie was obviously a little surprised, and smiled awkwardly, then turned around and gave Cheng Che a sweet smile, "Cheng Che, let's go first, otherwise we may have to stay up late again."
Cheng Che ignored her words and turned to look at Wen Song. Wen Song smiled and said, "Go quickly. I also have to go see Professor Fortaine."
