Chapter 440
Chapter 440: Chapter 64 Whose Father, Whose Daughter (Part 2)_3 Chapter 440: Chapter 64 Whose Father, Whose Daughter (Part 2)_3 I want to understand it all!
It’s just…
“It’s too hard!”
In the dormitory, it was already two in the morning.
Chu Anqing drew her bed curtain, switched on the little lamp, and stayed up late to study hard in her own “tent.” She hoped to understand more…
whether the things Elder Sister Huang Que had mentioned were indeed true.
But.
She couldn’t even grasp the basics.
“Today, is our last class of the semester.”
Coming to her senses.
At the front of the classroom, Teacher Zhang Yang packed up his lesson plan, looked around the packed room with a smile, and said:
“Every semester at this time, I feel very gratified to see so many students interested in such obscure and difficult to distinguish hypotheses that have no theoretical or experimental data to support them.”
“The development of all scientific research starts with a hypothesis, an idea, a brainwave, a dream, or even a boast.
Curiosity is always the first driving force for humanity to look up at the night sky, towards the sea of stars.”

“I hope that in the days to come, everyone will still maintain a certain interest and attention to science, to the unknown, to less popular areas of study.In this world, there are always some things that need to be done.
It might be you, it might be me, it might be him.”
“But precisely because we don’t know who it will be, it could be anyone.
I cannot deny that any student here today might not become a great person on par with Einstein, with Newton.
Why?
The reason is—”
“It’s the same thing I mentioned earlier, there are always some things in this world worth doing, things that need you to do them, things that you must do!
Don’t always feel that you are ordinary, common, or insignificant.
You, my students, might not imagine that…”
“[Every atom in your body comes from a star that has exploded.
The atoms in your left hand might be from a different galaxy than those in your right hand.
You are made of matter as old as the Earth, with a third of it being as old as the universe itself.]”
“It is precisely these atoms from every corner of the universe, even from the boundaries of the universe, that have come together to form you.
So…
how could you possibly be ordinary?
My students…
each and every one of you is a miracle of the universe.”
With that said.
Teacher Zhang Yang screwed on his thermos, laughed heartily to the hundreds in the auditorium:
“So!
Your curiosity about the universe is your best answer sheet!
Just like in previous years, my general knowledge course has never arranged exams; any student who has registered gets full marks!”
“Damn it!”
Amidst the deafening cheers of the crowd, Chu Anqing cursed under her breath.
She finally understood why there was such fierce competition for this course, why the spots would disappear the second the registration system refreshed!
So that was it!
The real reason!
There was no final exam at all!
All full marks!
Easy credits!
…
In this way.
The first half of the sophomore year was drawing to a close.
Amidst the busyness of reviews and exams, she also missed her father’s “Science Charity Dinner,” missing another opportunity to see Senior Lin Xian.
“The atoms in your left hand and the atoms in your right hand might come from different galaxies…”
Chu Anqing looked at her left hand, then her right.

Slowly bringing them together.
Clenching them together.
Tightly clenching them together.
“So romantic…”
Chu Anqing closed her eyes, feeling the intergalactic encounter, the romance that spanned the universe.
She opened the drawer of the study desk in her dorm.
She took out the small note left by Huang Que…
Since that day in the cafe, she had not contacted Huang Que.
Even though she thought about it every day and night.
But she never had the courage to make the call.
But now…
She had figured it out.
“I am a star.”
Repeating Teacher Zhang Yang’s words, she looked up, determined, staring at her own reflection in the mirror:
“I am the universe!”
…
“Impossible!”
In the luxury mansion, Chu Shanhe roared in anger:
“Don’t you even think about it!!”
“Why not!!!”
Chu Anqing shouted even louder than her father:
“I thought you would definitely agree without hesitation!
Haven’t you always been a huge supporter of the scientific cause, deeply admiring those space heroes?
Why won’t you let me go!!”
Chu Anqing had never imagined.
That after finally making up her mind, she would ultimately run into a stumbling block with her father!
This was a scenario she had completely not anticipated!
She had assumed her father would support her more than anyone else…
to take part in the nation’s secret program, to go to space, to undertake a secret mission.
Isn’t it a glorious thing to do!?
“Why won’t you let me go!”
Chu Anqing strained her throat:
“I’m doing a good thing here!
I’m not going out to travel or fool around!”
“You might as well go traveling!”
Chu Shanhe paced with his hands behind his back, frowning deeply, looking at the red-headed document on the coffee table.
Signed by the authorities of China’s aerospace.
Multiple department stamps.
Couldn’t be fake.
But completely ludicrous!
Absolutely ludicrous!
To think that a 19-year-old girl with no training and no particular talents should be sent into space was utterly nonsensical!
“The point is, you’re not going!”
Chu Shanhe gestured dismissively, indicating there was no point in discussing it any further.
At that moment.
Su Xiuying stepped forward too, rubbing the near-tears puffiness under Chu Anqing’s eyes:
“You silly girl…
what are you thinking about?
Going into space on a mission…
I thought you were joking!
How could such a thing be your turn?
How could it ever fall upon you?”
“Even if it could be your turn, could you go?
What do you know?
How could you help?
Wouldn’t you just be causing trouble for the country by going?
Why doesn’t your dad want you to go?
Isn’t he worried about your safety, afraid you’ll get into danger…
How come you don’t understand?”
