Chapter 88 You are wrong, this is mathematics [Please subscribe to monthly tickets]

"This time I had to work very hard to convince Xu Yuan to agree to perform on stage at the New Year's Eve party. Next time if something like this happens, I won't agree no matter what you say."

"Xu Yuan is my good brother."

Li Zhenya expressed his attitude to Yu Ruilan in righteous words, as if he was ready to stand by her side.

In response, Yu Ruilan simply rolled her eyes and continued speaking in a tempting tone.

"Really?"

"During the New Year's Day holiday, our department will have a social dance party. You can invite girls to dance."

“I heard that many girls signed up.”

The voice just fell.

Then Li Zhenya suddenly leaned his head forward.

His eyes were extremely firm.

"How do you know that I like dancing the most?"

The next second he realized that his action was inappropriate, and he quickly retracted it, smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

"Why do you want Xu Yuan to attend the New Year's Eve party? Although he is a genius in studying, he is definitely not as good as me in singing and dancing."

"This is none of your business." Yu Ruilan said.

As Chen Yuran's roommate and best friend, she could naturally clearly feel the subtle changes in Chen Yuran during this period.

Although the situation is developing in a positive direction, we still have to find the reasons why it is not.

After analysis by several people in their dormitory, they all believed that this subtle change started after Chen Yuran interviewed Xu Yuan.

Although I don't know what happened between the two of them, it's better to make some things clear.

But seeing that Chen Yuran didn't dare to contact her actively, and Xu Yuan, who was a popular figure among the freshmen in the school, couldn't see her, he thought of taking advantage of the New Year's Eve party held by the school.

At this time, Yu Ruilan noticed that Chen Yuran was talking to Xu Yuan, and after a little hesitation, she walked over.

Seeing this, Li Zhenya shouted and hurriedly followed.

"Senior."

"Have you signed up for the dance?"

……

Chen Yuran suddenly thought of something and asked Xu Yuan about the show.

"correct."

"I just noticed your name when I looked at the program, but I haven't filled in the specific performance content yet."

"What show are you going to perform?"

If Xu Yuan was still resistant to the New Year's Eve party during the day, he now thinks there is nothing wrong in integrating into the group after studying.

Just think of it as a way to relax.

Then a confident smile appeared on his face and he slowly uttered two words.

"magic."

"The math genius in our school also knows magic?" Yu Ruilan took the lead and couldn't help but reply.

It always gives people a weird feeling.

Li Zhenya, who also followed, was also quite puzzled: "Xu Yuan, you can also perform magic?"

Xu Yuanquan thought the other party was sulking because of the failure of the last interview, so he ignored the words and looked at Li Zhenya.

"I know a lot more."

As soon as he finished speaking, he could see that Chen Yuran was very interested and immediately responded with great anticipation.

"Then I'll sign you up for the show."

"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded with a smile.

Since Xu Yuan was confident about his program, he did not stay on the scene for rehearsal. He called Wang Haitao and Liu Yang who were watching other people's performances with gusto, and the four of them started to rush to the dormitory without any delay.

On the way, Wang Haitao and Liu Yang learned that Xu Yuan was going to perform magic, and they were both surprised.

I never expected Xu Yuan to perform such a show.

After all, magic performances are much more difficult than poetry recitation.

If I fail in this performance, I will probably become even more famous in school in the future.

However, no matter how Li Zhenya and others asked about the content of the magic, Xu Yuan did not tell them in advance.

Always maintain a mysterious smile.

Let them go to the party tomorrow and see it for themselves.

……

Tuesday, December 2003, 12, Qinghua University Gymnasium.

7 p.m.

Students who got tickets for the party began to enter one after another.

Attend the New Year’s Eve party.

In addition to the department heads and professors, the school leaders, including President Gu Binglin, will also be present to watch.

The scene seemed very lively.

Before the party officially started, students sitting next to each other started talking about the program.

"This year's show is quite interesting, but we were unable to invite a few celebrities to help out."

"I saw the program list uploaded on the school forum, and it seems that the genius from the mathematics department has also signed up for the program this year."

"I saw it. It looked like a magic show."

"Shouldn't a genius like this dislike occasions like this?"

"Performing on stage is quite different from studying. It's probably some trick that you can understand at a glance."

"How do you know the show is bad before you even watch it? You might even drop your jaw in surprise later."

……

Although Li Zhenya, Wang Haitao and Liu Yang were also worried about Xu Yuan, they were not optimistic about this magic show.

But in the face of other people's doubts, he still chose to defend Xu Yuan and fought back without hesitation. As time passed, at eight o'clock, the New Year's Eve party officially began.

As Chen Yuran and other hosts came on stage to open the show, the performances began one after another. At this time, Xu Yuan, who was sitting backstage waiting, did not show any nervousness on his face compared to the others.

Just sitting there playing with a deck of cards.

"Now, please invite Xu Yuan from the Mathematical Sciences Academy Class 3 to come on stage and perform magic for everyone."

Chen Yuran went on stage again to announce Xu Yuan's program, and there was immediate warm applause from the audience.

Among them, the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Engineering Mechanics are the most dedicated.

After all, Xu Yuan is a celebrity among the freshmen. Any post involving him will go viral on the school forum, so he has no shortage of popularity.

No matter how good the magic show is, there will always be some people watching it.

Soon Xu Yuan came to the stage amid applause. Under the spotlight, he looked tall and handsome in his black suit.

After the applause gradually died down, he officially began his performance.

"Before the show starts, I would like to ask the host for help to perform this magic with me."

Chen Yuran, who was about to walk to the edge of the stage, was stunned for a moment when she heard Xu Yuan's words, and then returned to the stage to act as a guest.

"no problem."

Then, in order to avoid suspicion of being a hired gun, Xu Yuan randomly called several audience members to come on stage.

There was even a female teacher among them.

Seeing that everyone was present, he took out a deck of cards from his pocket and dealt four cards to each person.

And have them shuffle the fold and tear it in half.

"Next, do as I say. Please remove the corresponding number of cards according to the number of characters in your name, and then insert them into the deck at will."

"And take the top card and put it away separately."

Everyone was very cooperative and felt very excited to be able to go on stage and participate in the magic show.

Only Chen Yuran, who was wearing a dress, put the card in Xu Yuan's suit pocket under everyone's gaze.

After finishing all this, Xu Yuan asked everyone to select different numbers of cards on the top according to different regions in the north and south and insert them into the deck again, and discard different numbers of cards according to gender.

As the magic show progressed, the audience was attracted by the operations and could not help but look forward to the outcome of the magic show.

After Xu Yuan asked everyone to shuffle the cards again, the performance finally came to an end.

"Now, everyone, throw away the cards in your hands as your worries, leaving the last one for your good luck."

"Then take out the half of the deck you just put away."

"If you succeed, then these two cards will completely find their other halves."

It is worth mentioning that after Xu Yuan said this to the guests on the stage with a smile, he did not take the half card belonging to Chen Yuran out of his pocket and hand it over.

The next second, when the others took out that half card, they found that it was indeed the other half and shouted excitedly.

"I succeeded."

“It’s actually the same one.”

"Cow."

Hearing this, Chen Yuran just wanted to quickly verify whether she was successful. She didn't care about other people's eyes and reached into the left pocket of Xu Yuan's suit.

After successfully getting that half card and putting it together with the one in his hand, joy immediately appeared on his face.

"I also succeeded."

Xu Yuan watched this scene quietly, with the corners of his mouth raised and a smile on his face, and leaned over to express his gratitude to the audience.

"thank you all."

Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. No one had expected that Xu Yuan, in addition to his outstanding academic performance, could also perform magic so well.

Li Zhenya and the other two who were sitting together in the back row looked at each other with completely dazed expressions.

"Impressed."

“I’m really convinced this time.”

"I admire you."

"In the future, we should do less and learn more."

"Brother Yuan's realm is much higher than ours." Wang Haitao echoed and agreed deeply with Li Zhenya's words.

Even Tang Shihong in the audience couldn't help but say something with pride to other teachers from the department beside him.

"Who said that we science students don't understand romance? Now you see it."

-

Backstage, Chen Yuran was still holding the two and a half poker cards, still unable to figure out how Xu Yuan had done it.

I thought that I must find the other party to ask for clarification after the party.

As for Li Zhenya and the others, they were not in the mood to continue watching the rest of the show, so they went straight to find Xu Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, you were so handsome on the stage just now. Can you teach me magic?"

"And I have to learn it too. It would be so impressive if I could perform for my seniors in the journalism department."

Xu Yuan looked at Li Zhenya and Wang Haitao who were excited, shook his head and answered with a smile.

"You are wrong. This is not magic, it is mathematics."

"Mathematics?" Liu Yang was stunned when he heard that.

"In fact, this magic trick is just the Joseph ring and recursion in mathematics, which often involves data structure problems in computers." Xu Yuan did not continue to keep them in suspense and explained it seriously.

After Liu Yang and the others understood, they couldn't help but sigh that mathematics is everywhere in life.

With the New Year’s Day Gala coming to a successful conclusion, there are only twenty days left until the Spring Festival.

However, at this time, students do not feel happy about the holiday, but are instead shrouded in fear of the upcoming final exams.

No matter how hard you study in normal times, you will become a top-notch student during the final review week.

Apart from attending classes and eating, the rest of the time is spent in the dormitory or library reviewing seriously to avoid failing the final exam and having to take a make-up exam.
