Chapter 224 The Right to Love and Be Loved

Zhao Yuxi and Jiang Mengxi went to the laboratory including structural regularity engineering together.

Jiang Mengxi knew that Zhao Yuxi wanted to meet Gu Tingzhou by chance, but she couldn't provide much help in this matter. She didn't know Gu Tingzhou's life trajectory. Working in a laboratory is not like going to school. When you go to school, each student's arrival time and classroom are basically fixed, but there are many laboratories. He can go to whichever one he wants. He can go when he wants to go, and he can go when he doesn't want to go.

"Teacher Zhao, do you want me to ask Gu Tingzhou to come out?"

"No need. There's no point in asking him out."

"There are many laboratories, but this place is so small. After you expand the asymptotic domain, you will definitely be able to find his footsteps among the footsteps of others. Isn't this deliberate encounter even more meaningless?"

"It's not as amazing as you say." Zhao Yuxi looked gloomy. She really couldn't find his footsteps among the footsteps of others. She wished she could do it.

Only then did she realize that she had never listened carefully to Gu Tingzhou's footsteps, nor had she carefully looked at his back. If Gu Tingzhou had not walked towards her, she would have had a hard time recognizing him without using the asymptote.

"How long will you stay at the Academy this time?"

"Stay until September 9th, or September 4th. One day earlier or later is fine."

The first phase of the six projects is from August 8 to September 5, which is the screening phase. After the screening phase, the deans of the branches will automatically leave the Academy of Sciences, but they can also choose to stay and participate in the second phase of the project.

Zhao Yuxi chose to leave at this time, not because the screening phase was over. She was not the person in charge of the six projects. She could leave or stay at any stage of the project. She wanted to leave because after this, Gu Tingzhou would probably not be in the Academy of Sciences anymore, and there was no need for her to stay here for a long time. What's more, someone had to do her work in the institute.

"You treated me to a meal yesterday, so I'll treat you today. Mr. Zhao, are there any particularly expensive restaurants around here?"

"Yes. Teacher Jiang, are you busy with work?"

"Not too busy. I have already given them some commonly used drawings. They just need to make the parts according to my drawings. When they have any questions, they can come to me and I will solve them. At other times, I just need to check on their progress occasionally..."

After a long chatter, Jiang Mengxi suddenly realized that this question could not be answered in this way. When Teacher Zhao asked her "Are you busy at work?", she only needed to answer yes or no.

"I'm not busy at work, what can I do for you?"

"I have some personal matters and I need your help and advice."

"To the lounge or the office, or somewhere else?"

"I don't know, but I certainly can't say that in the lab. Come to my house."

"it is good."

The Structural Regularity Engineering Project includes more than a dozen laboratories, each of which is large in area. These laboratories are gathered together to form a huge park.

Zhao Yuxi slowly walked to the entrance of the park and waited for a while at the entrance, but the person she wanted to see did not show up.

"Teacher Jiang, do you think we are here too early or too late?"

"We must be early. The lab had just opened when we arrived."

"Then why is Gu Tingzhou late?"

"Teacher Zhao, Gu Tingzhou is not late, it's you who is late." This sentence is cruel, but Jiang Mengxi believes that she has no choice. As a friend of Teacher Zhao, this sentence must be said. There is no obvious difference between Gu Tingzhou coming late and coming early. As long as you don't meet him, you will miss him. You met him before Song Yihan, but Song Yihan was with him one step faster than you. Of course, if you think about the past, you have always been late. It was like this a few years ago, and it is like this now. It can't be like this in the future, right?

"Forget about him, let's go, I still have a lot of things to do. Use the elements to dissolve, come to my house." Zhao Yuxi wanted to cry, but there were too many people here, it was not suitable to cry, and she couldn't find a reason to cry. If Gu Tingzhou said "You are the one who came late", she would probably cry for a while. But when Teacher Jiang said it, it didn't seem too hurtful, just stating the facts, there was nothing to cry about.

"Ah."

The two used the elements to dissolve each other and disappeared. The person Zhao Yuxi wanted to see arrived here an hour later.

Zhao Yuxi poured Jiang Mengxi a glass of red wine: "The bottle of wine yesterday didn't taste very good."

Jiang Mengxi was a little worried when she heard what Teacher Zhao said about yesterday. The bottle of wine yesterday was very expensive. She didn't drink such expensive wine often, but she thought it tasted good when she drank it occasionally.

Teacher Zhao said the taste was not very good. On the one hand, she was not used to drinking, and on the other hand, the glass of wine was used to celebrate friendship, but there was no friendship between her and Song Yihan. In addition, she and Gu Tingzhou celebrated their friendship, which was a bit self-deprecating.

Jiang Mengxi took the wine glass and took a sip: "Yeah, it doesn't taste very good. Apart from the high price, there are no other features."

"When I have time, I will learn how to make wine. Maybe you can drink my wine before the New Year." Zhao Yuxi also poured herself a small half glass of wine. She raised the glass and waved it in front of her eyes, but she never drank it. "It's not necessary. Making wine takes a lot of time."

“I have a lot of time. But I don’t know if the time I have left is enough to change the world into what I want it to be.”

"Take your time. Arson, bombings, memorial services, aren't these things gradually changing the world?"

"Too slow. There are too many people and things I want to change. People like Song Yihan, she seems to have no problems. She is greedy for money, but she did not use illegal means to obtain wealth. She approached Gu Tingzhou for a purpose, but I think all approaches in this world are probably for a purpose. However, I am unwilling to let people like her live in peace and stability in the world!"

"Since you are unwilling, then do it. The life or death of one person is irrelevant. You eliminate her, and then use more appropriate standards to measure others and give others a chance to survive."

Jiang Mengxi has always believed that eliminating Song Yihan is the simplest and most effective solution. Although doing this is likely to anger Gu Tingzhou, it is better than letting the two of them be together. One day, Gu Tingzhou will understand Zhao Yuxi's good intentions.

"This isn't just about her. I want to change all kinds of unequal relationships. You know what the biggest inequality is?"

Jiang Mengxi asked tentatively: "Inequality of asymptotic rate?"

"The asymptotic rate is certainly important, but it is not the biggest inequality. There is a gap between the ancients and the medievals, but this gap does not affect everyone's peaceful coexistence. The ancients can be friends with the medievals, and they can also be friends with the moderns. But there are some things that prevent people from being friends, and some things remind everyone all the time that 'people are not equal'. I want to eliminate these things."

"Power? Status?"

“These things are easy to eliminate.”

"Ah?" Jiang Mengxi suspected that Teacher Zhao was not sober at this time. She said "change all kinds of unequal relationships", but she might be thinking that she and Song Yihan were unequal. She and Song Yihan were rivals in love. Driven by this idea, she would come up with many extreme and absurd views. For example, she actually thought that the inequality of power and status was easy to eliminate. How is this possible? The pinnacle of power in the world is the Institute and the Star Lord. Who can eliminate the Institute? Who can eliminate the Star Lord? Is there such a person?

"What's not easy to eliminate is the inequality between good and evil," Zhao said. "Some people do good things but don't get rewarded. Of course, some people do good things for no reward, and I know that. Some people do bad things but don't get punished. That's inequality."

Jiang Mengxi thought about it again and again, but she didn't find any mistakes, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Is Teacher Zhao still sober at this time? If she is sober, she probably knows what is good and what is bad, what bad things should be punished, and what bad things should be forgiven. If she is not sober, will she regard everything she doesn't like as bad? Will she think that all people she doesn't like are bad people?
“What are you going to do next?”

"As a small third-order asymptote, I can't afford to carry all the relics of the old era, so I can only start from small things. Do you think it's better for people in this era to get married early or late?"

Jiang Mengxi immediately became alert: Marriage? Why are you telling me this? If I say "get married sooner", will you just find someone to marry? If I say "get married later", will you wait until Gu Tingzhou's problem is resolved and the whole world becomes what you want, and then you will consider getting married? No, your thoughts are not that easy to change. Just say what I think.

"I think there is no such thing as early or late. If you meet the right person, you should get married. If you haven't met the right person...if you haven't..."

If not, then don’t get married? Is it appropriate to say this? If I don’t say this to Zhao Yuxi, it may be appropriate. However, Zhao Yuxi is right across from me, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to tell her “If you don’t meet the right one for you, then don’t get married”. If I say this, I will have to spend more energy to enlighten her. But I haven’t figured out these things myself, so how can I enlighten her?

"Teacher Zhao, I don't know what to say. Maybe there is a difference between getting married early and late, but the result is the same. Even if some people think that getting married is too late, they can't go back to the past. Even if some people think that getting married is too early... too early..."

Jiang Mengxi was in a dilemma again. She hated this topic a little bit, and it always made her feel at a loss.

Zhao Yuxi added: "Even if some people think it's too early to get married, they can't suppress their excitement and desire. They rush into the palace of marriage and then rush to leave. As for whether they can leave, that is unknown. Teacher Jiang, I also think that there is no early or late in this matter. I would like to ask you a question. When did you meet the first person you liked?"

"junior high school."

"Do you want to marry that guy?"

"Do not want to."

Whether Teacher Jiang said yes or no, the topic could continue. But Zhao Yuxi was full of doubts. It was definitely inappropriate to marry the person she liked at that time. Because both parties were immature at that time and would make wrong judgments based on some superficial things. Just like Gu Tingzhou. When he was with Song Yihan, he might feel happy, even very happy, happier than being with anyone else, but that kind of happiness was hypocritical and fragile. Hidden in that kind of happiness was not a little selfishness, but countless deceptions and lies.

"You don't want to, but if you put others in that situation, some people might want to. It is absolutely impossible to expect everyone to find the right partner for themselves. All I can do now is to let them be together legitimately and share each other's families at an age when they like each other. There is no difference between giving love and receiving love, it is human instinct. I want them to be able to tell others openly that what they are giving is 'love' when they give love, it's that simple. Maybe I will tell them what giving and receiving are in the future, but this is all I have to do this year. Teacher Jiang, we all came from an age where we yearn for love and being loved. I don't want some people to lose the right to pursue love and be loved because of some objective factors."

Jiang Mengxi thought that Teacher Zhao had said too much: In fact, what you did was very simple, and it could even be explained in one sentence. It was nothing more than allowing people to get married earlier. That's all. The questions you asked and the words you said were all to lead to this result. But is this result correct?
"Teacher Zhao, you gave them this power, but can they use it well?"

"Good or bad is their business, not mine. If they use it wrongly, I will punish them later. In addition, after accumulating a large number of cases, I will tell them what is good and what is bad. As long as they are willing to follow the direction I give, they probably won't go too far wrong. Like Gu Tingzhou, he was too far wrong. I dare say he is absolutely not clear about Song Yihan's world outlook. Song Yihan hasn't even told him what her asymptotic rate and asymptote are. He is just a contemporary, there is no need to keep asymptotes and asymptotes secret."

Jiang Mengxi was almost speechless: You can actually bring the topic to Gu Tingzhou and Song Yihan! Do you want to change the whole world in order to change one person?

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. I hope your plan will succeed, and I hope fewer people will be punished."

"Yes. After all, I don't want to do bad things with good intentions. If too many people let me down, I will be very sad. Once I have formulated the relevant regulations, I will give them such rights. I hope that after reading the relevant regulations, they can understand what they should and should not do, and I hope they can use this right well."

"Then I'll wait and see, Mr. Zhao."
