Li Dong heard Qiao Fan's question.
After all, the other boy had just helped him solve a problem, and he gave off a very comfortable impression. Li Dong did not hide anything and nodded honestly.
"I really am preparing the English paper and defense for the Fields Medal. I'm still not very familiar with the grammatical conventions of international academic journals."
"Thanks for earlier."
"I'm Li Dong from Jiangcheng No. 6 High School."
Qiao Fan was somewhat puzzled.
He was Li Dong?
Wasn't he from Jiangcheng No. 7 High School? How had he become a student of Jiangcheng No. 6 High School?
However, Qiao Fan was clearly well-mannered. Though surprised, he did not pry into someone else's privacy.
"You're welcome. Actually, once you read a few original papers from top journals like Nature or Science, you'll get used to the rules for switching tenses."
Then, remembering that he had not introduced himself yet, he added,
"Chengdu No. 7 High School, Qiao Fan."
Qiao Fan?
Having spent some time at No. 6 High School, Li Dong was no longer quite so cut off from information.
According to Old Chen, Chengdu No. 7 High School treated this Qiao Fan like a treasure. He was exceptionally gifted in the sciences and had a strong chance of winning a national first prize as early as his first year of high school.
Just then, Old Chen and Su Wan, the two team leaders some distance away, finished exchanging pleasantries.
Old Chen waved with a chuckle.
"Li Dong, let's go."
Qiao Fan also returned to Su Wan's side, and the two teams headed off in different directions.
Walking down Fudan University's tree-lined path, Su Wan tilted her head and glanced at Qiao Fan, who was still deep in thought.
She had not been standing far away
