Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Come to My House Tonight

The atmosphere in the car suddenly contracted, as if the pause button had been hit.

Under this soft response, Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen’s complexions changed at the same time, tension rising.

This was the information they had been pursuing for so long, to no avail until now.

Was Lu Mian finally willing to tell the truth?

Was Lu Mian about to speak?

Ha, if they had known it would be this simple, they really should have invited Lu Mian for a drink earlier.

Ye Jinwen wept tears of bitterness, recalling how much effort he had expended trying to pry even half a word from her, almost getting himself in trouble too.

Now, the truth was right before their eyes.

The girl, tipsy from alcohol, was much easier to handle!

Ye Jinwen, through the rearview mirror, was looking at Lu Mian, his eyes shining.

Lu Mian, oblivious to their thoughts, sat straight up in her seat, fiddling with the fluff on the blanket and turned her head to smile.

She spoke earnestly, “Our Z Country has only launched the Shenzhou spacecraft up to number eleven thus far; number thirteen is still under research, projected that it will officially launch the Shenzhou thirteen in the next three to five years.”

Ye Jinwen: ???

Is this it?

I was asking about Mysterious Person number thirteen, why did it turn into Shenzhou spacecraft number thirteen?!

Xiao Qimo remained silent beside him, his lips tinted with a smile.

Adorable little scamp.

“Little Mianmian, what happened during the two years you were kidnapped?” Ye Jinwen persisted stubbornly.

But though Lu Mian was drunk, she wasn’t foolish. With her eyelashes lowered, she raised her gaze again, her face set in a scholarly expression as she stated principledly, “Now it’s my turn to ask you.”

Ye Jinwen: ???

What kind of move is this?

You are drunk, and you still care about these?

“What are the two dark clouds over the world of physics?”

Caught off guard, Ye Jinwen’s face visibly stiffened at lightning speed.

He takes back everything he said before!

Lu Mian, even when drunk, was equally difficult to deal with!

Ye Jinwen didn’t say anything, but a cultured and elegant male voice came from the back seat.

“This was proposed by the famous physicist Kelvin at the beginning of the last century. The first dark cloud mainly refers to the contradiction of the Michelson–Morley experiment results with the ether drift theory; the second dark cloud mainly refers to the discrepancies between the theoretical explanations of the equi-partition theorem in thermodynamics with the specific heat of gases and the theoretical interpretation of the energy spectrum of thermal radiation in comparison to experimental results.”

The hands of Ye Jinwen holding the steering wheel trembled slightly.

Lu Mian, finding a common topic, sat up slightly, her cheeks still flushed, and the intense and enormous desire for discovery burning in her eyes.

“Then let’s talk about the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics!”

Xiao Qimo nodded genteelly, “All right.”

Ye Jinwen: “…”

It was time to bring out the pickled fish expression pack again.

They drove back to Jin City No. 1.

It didn’t take long before the two big shots in the backseat went from quantum mechanics to talking about wormhole theory.

He knew Lu Mian was good at physics, but he hadn’t expected her to be this extraordinarily skilled.

Their topics were such that he couldn’t interject even a single word. Even if he occasionally did, he would get shut down by Lu Mian so badly he might as well have been an old, holey sock.

It was exhausting.

At this moment, Lu Mian wasn’t just someone they could question; she was a relentless academic fiend!

Ye Jinwen, feeling blocked, rubbed his temples and faked a smile as he reminded the backseat, “Qimo, we’ve arrived.”

Lu Mian, moving a bit slowly, got out of the car. A moment of dizziness made her pause, and when she came to, an arm was already by her side.

The cultured man smiled with genuine restraint, “If it’s too much, you can lean on me.”

Lu Mian didn’t respond, stepping away first, but not forgetting to remind Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen behind her.

“You two come to my place, we’ll continue there.”

Her tone wasn’t that of a high school student, but more like… a professor with profound knowledge!

And they were her students.

“Qimo, you go ahead. I’m really tearing up here.”

Xiao Qimo would have liked that, but crucially, Lu Mian disagreed, turning around to sternly glare at them, emphasizing, “Not one less.”

Ye Jinwen: !!!

Help, a drunken expert is forcing a physics lesson on me, how do I refuse?!
