Free Web NovelChapter 568: Chapter 333: Who’s with Who Here!
The video circulating online was shot by a camera near the teaching building. The camera was somewhat far away, and its quality was even inferior to that of some street intersection surveillance cameras. You could barely make out two women in the footage. Many people had to rewatch the video several times to roughly understand what was happening.
With such a resolution, it was already good enough to see what was happening, let alone identifying the faces of the individuals involved.
So, in the comments and posts online, it was said that the rescuer was ’a student of Yanhua University’ because the incident occurred there. The girl who was saving people in the footage seemed to know martial arts; her physique looked very fit, her movements were nimble, leading people to infer that she is around twenty years old.
When the public opinions heated up, no one revealed the real identity of the purported rescuer, presumably because those privy to such information kept quiet.
Actually, the only ones who really knew what happened were some professors from the School of Sciences, students of Edward Witten, and Zhao Yi. Other nearby students and drivers did not recognize Lin Xiaoqing. Even after the incident was reported, they could only infer that she was a Yanhua University student.
But who exactly was she?
On the internal forum of Yanhua University, related discussions were all over the place.
"Who is that kung fu girl! Is she really from our school?"
"She seems to have a good figure, so she probably has a pretty face, which means she definitely can’t be from the School of Sciences."
"As a student of the School of Sciences, I find it hard to dispute the above contention!"
"The School of Information is also out of the question! I bet it’s the College of Business or the College of Life Sciences!"
"The talented ones in our school are usually from the College of Business or the College of Life Sciences!"
"I bet it’s the College of Life Sciences! Didn’t you see Zhao Yi was right there? And he went over there after the rescue, so he must know her!"
"Does the College of Life Sciences have any girls who are close to Zhao Yi?"
"..."
Loads of discussions on the campus forum ended up with no concrete results.
It was the same with domestic public opinion.
The media didn’t have accurate information, so they could only focus the reporting around the topic of ’kung fu girl saving people on campus.’ Due to the scarcity of news content, they added information about the ’rescuee’.
A well-informed media outlet broke the news that the ’rescuee’ was a student under Edward Witten, a female graduate student at Princeton, and even posted a photo. Suddenly public opinion took a turn.
While the online gossip continued to trace the ’kung fu girl,’ they also followed this ’graduate student.’ "This appearance, this figure, she could be a star!"
"Why does she choose to study in the terrifying math major when she can rely on her looks?"
"From today, my perception of women in the math major has been completely overturned. I used to think that girls in the math major are all... Now..."
"It would be even more interesting if she paid Zhao Yi back with her body."
"Women and women are not necessarily..."
The topic totally got derailed.
At this time, foreign media got some news. They actually knew the information about the ’kung fu girl’ a step ahead because Camilla herself agreed to be interviewed.
When Edward Witten and Camilla returned to Princeton, there were already reports on the media. Some journalists interviewed them, not just about the gossip of the kung fu girl saving people, but also the interesting topic of Zhao Yi’s interview with Edward Witten.
As the rescuee, Camilla was very interested in the topic, but due to privacy issues, she didn’t go into detail. She only disclosed a simple piece of information--the kung fu girl is Zhao Yi’s girlfriend.
This information is nothing to foreign media. Ordinary people wouldn’t care about who Zhao Yi’s girlfriend is. Even Zhao Yi himself was not that well-known internationally, and none of the country’s media would be dedicated to promoting a foreign genius.
Foreign media only thought it was a bit of a coincidence, and mentioned it casually in their reports.
But when this news reached home country, it was another story.
"Zhao Yi’s girlfriend". This simple introduction revealed the actual identity of the kung fu girl--Lin Xiaoqing, a student of Political and Legal University.
The news sparked another round of heated discussion in public opinion. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Zhao Yi was indeed a celebrity in his homeland, and both official and non-official media had extensive coverage of him. Zhao Yi, who solved the Goldbach Conjecuture, was one of the world’s top mathematicians, and his image as a ’young genius’ was deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
’Zhao Yi’s girlfriend’ had appeared in news reports before, but that’s how public opinion works. What’s past is past. There were too many reports about Zhao Yi, and the not-so-important content was gradually forgotten.
Now, the talk of ’Zhao Yi’s girlfriend’ resurfaced yet again, and this time linked with the ’kung fu girl’. Many people saw the news and suddenly realized why Zhao Yi rushed over to check on the ’kung fu girl’ after the rescue.
Lin Xiaoqing’s credentials were dug up again, along with her so-called ’love story’ with Zhao Yi, which again became news. There were many who were adept at spinning ’love stories’. Through snippets of information, the public learned of a touching story of ’childhood sweethearts’.
In the story...
Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing were childhood friends and sweethearts who grew up as neighbors. They gradually grew up and went to the same primary school, junior high school, and high school. They even chose to go to university in the same city.
