Chapter 10 chapter 2

Tomomaga Xingzheng once served as a coach at Teito University, and his title was assistant professor.As for why he failed to become a professor, Namie has no way of knowing. She only heard from her late mother that because the topics he studied were old and not popular, few students used them for graduation thesis. However, he seemed to be quite popular among the students.It is said that he likes to help others, even if the other party is a student from another laboratory, he will not hesitate to help, and sometimes even travels around for the employment of students.So to this day, he still receives many greeting cards.

And those who gathered here tonight were just a few of Xingzheng's favorite students among these students.Although they come from different research laboratories, they are very close to each other, and it is said that they are often invited to have drinks.They still have dinner in the capital once every few years, but this year, Xingzheng proposed that they come to his home to gather together. "Oh, this thing is really beautiful. You can still make such exquisite things, what's the problem?" The man surnamed Yasuda raised the boat in a bottle to eye level with both hands.His figure had begun to gain weight, and his face had broadened.

"Having said that, time is not forgiving. Do you know how long it took me to make this thing? It took me three full months, and it didn't stop for almost a day. In the prime of life, I could do it in three days It's done, of course it can be done better." Xingzheng's eyes swept over the faces of the three students sitting around the iron board.Namie felt that his voice was more powerful than usual. "Teacher's hands have always been very dexterous!" said the man surnamed Imura.Everyone else who came today was wearing suits, but he was the only one in casual clothes.I heard that he now runs a training school.

"That's right, you are invincible when it comes to component soldering." It was the man surnamed Okabe who said this, and his face was flushed from drinking beer. "Because the assistant professors at that time were all trying to help others." Xing Zheng smiled wryly, "Have you made anything yourself recently?" "No." The three of them shook their heads. "At most, it's an assembled shelf purchased through the mail." Yasuda said while thinking. "I'm going to say that what I do is just some documents, such as proposals, report cards and so on." Imura said.

"I haven't done anything either. It's completely disconnected from physics." Okabe said with his arms crossed. "You were studying cosmic physics at the time. Once you graduate, you won't need it anymore." Yasuda sneered, "However, it's no big deal for graduates of physics to work in publishing houses." "At that time, I wanted to start a science magazine. But I didn't expect that today's world has long been far away from science, and science magazines had to stop publishing. Don't patronize me, have you entered a sporting goods factory yourself? Let me ask you, Have you used your knowledge of molecular physics that you are good at?"

"How could it be useful? Those things were forgotten when I graduated." Xing Zheng squinted his eyes, watching the three people looking at each other heartily and smiling.He often said on weekdays that even if he forgot all the knowledge he had learned, the experience at that time would definitely play a role in other places.Perhaps his students also understood this point, so they would talk freely in front of him. "In the end, Yu Chuan is the only one who has used the knowledge he learned in college." After hearing what Imura said, the other two also nodded in agreement.

"All in all, that guy really knows everything." An Tian said. "I even investigated the history of instant coffee. It is said that after trying to make it myself, I found out that it is more cost-effective to buy and drink." "Speaking of which, Yukawa is really late." Imura looked at his watch, "It's already past eight o'clock." "Oh, it's already so late." Xingzheng responded, "I'll leave for a while, and after Yu Chuan-kun arrives, let's have a drink with everyone." "Go and rest. We won't be polite." Okabe said.

Namie pushed the wheelchair to the corridor, and Xingzheng said, "Let's go here." "Those guys probably don't dare to open the refrigerator without authorization. It's okay, I can do it myself." After finishing speaking, Xing Zheng turned the wheelchair and headed toward the depths of the corridor.There is a home elevator over there. Not only can you go up to the second floor by taking the elevator, but after getting off the elevator, the road leading to the bedroom is also designed to be barrier-free.Through training, he has been able to go from a wheelchair to a bed.

After watching him get on the elevator, Namie turned and went back to the living room. "How's the recovery going?" Yasuda asked, "I remember seeing him walking alone was quite difficult when I visited last time." The other two also looked at her seriously, and the elation just now was swept away. "With crutches, I can barely stand up, but I can't do it any further." "Really?" Imura sighed. "I thought rehabilitation would help." "But I think he has recovered. After all, he can make such complicated things." Yasuda turned his head and glanced at the ships in a bottle, "The 'Metal Magician' is still alive."

The other two nodded and smiled. "Metal magician?" Namie asked. "It's the teacher's nickname when he was working, and it comes from his research content." After hearing Yasuda's explanation, she could only answer "So that's how it is", because she didn't know what kind of research Xing Zhengzheng was doing back then. Yasuda stood up, pushed open the glass door leading to the balcony, and took a deep breath. "This place is really nice, the grass is fragrant, it doesn't feel like being in Tokyo." "Even if you open the glass door, the car exhaust will not blow into the house. It feels really good." Imura also said.

"It's really interesting to see the pond through the door. Oh?" ​​Okabe seemed to have discovered something, stretched his neck to look, then turned his head and asked Namie, "What is that building?" His hand pointed to the other house.Hearing Namie's answer, he nodded with infinite emotion. "There's a light over there, does anyone live in there?" "Uh, that, it's Dad's eldest son..." "Teacher's? Well, that means..." "Hello." Imura gave Okabe a serious look. "Huh? Ah, ah, yes, I see." Okabe shrank his neck and left the window. "I'll get you some beer." Namie got up and walked to the kitchen, when Imura and the others scolded Okabe for "asshole" from behind.It seems that they are well aware of the complex situation in this family. Namie took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, put them on the tray, and returned to the living room. "Although the teacher is still resting, let's have a drink while we're in the mood? Ms. Namie, please come along." Under Yasuda's persuasion, Namie also picked up the wine glass, and Okabe immediately poured wine into the glass. "Then, the few of us are former Assistant Professor You Yong and Assistant Professor Yu Chuan, no, he is an associate professor now, even though the two real scholars are not here, we can still toast. Cheers!" Just as several people said "Cheers" with Yasuda, and when the wine glasses collided, there was the sound of something breaking outside the window.For some reason, this voice made Namie's heart tremble. Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. "What's going on?" Okabe rushed up to the balcony, followed by Namie. Immediately afterwards, smoke rose from the other house. "It's on fire!" Okabe said, "Quick, call quickly." Imura took out his mobile phone and put it close to his ear with a serious face.Just as he was about to speak, there was another noise from another room. The smoke grew thicker, and finally a flame burst out.
