Algorithm system

You are also my anchorLin Yuan couldn’t help but feel uneasy, as he once again faced the aftermath of his sudden power-up.

Fortunately, the two teachers in front of him had no intention of digging deeper.

As expected of seasoned veterans, they didn’t take Lin Yuan’s hidden secret seriously at all, still chatting and laughing.

”Business is done, now for personal matters.”

As soon as Lin Yuan heard his mentor’s words, he knew what he was going to say.

”I just saw you and Zhang Yan getting along well. I mentioned it to you before, what made you suddenly change your mind?”

Professor Zhang meant that he had told Lin Yuan before: Zhang Yan was good, but Xia Ye was not suitable for Lin Yuan. At that time, Lin Yuan was stubborn like a mule, so why was he now chatting and laughing with Zhang Yan?

”I think Zhang Yan is also quite good.”

Lin Yuan’s ’also’ carried a lot of meaning. He didn’t say Xia Ye was bad; he just felt that Zhang Yan was also quite good.

However, these two old fellows clearly didn’t get the hint.

Dean Li smiled, ”Little Lin, you absolutely must not let Zhang Yan know about your relationship with Xia Ye. You need to break it off completely and cleanly.”

”I understand.” Lin Yuan temporarily agreed, knowing that the two teachers were also thinking for his sake.

Professor Zhang chimed in, ”I’m not telling you to abandon the poor for the rich. It’s just that Xia Ye is truly not suitable for you; you are not people from the same world. I mean on a spiritual level. Do you understand what I mean?”

Lin Yuan really wanted to say, ’I’m just a common person, where do I have any spiritual level?’ But at the moment, it was clearly not appropriate for him to say such a thing.

”Teacher, I understand.”

After a perfunctory conversation, Lin Yuan finally emerged from the study.

As soon as Zhang Yan saw Lin Yuan return, she quickly pulled him aside, ”What did your two teachers tell you?”

Lin Yuan teased, ”They told me not to let you know about Xia Ye.”

Zhang Yan suppressed a smile, ”It seems we’re both good kids in the eyes of the elders. Just now, your Wife was praising you highly to me.”

Lin Yuan was surprised, ”This is my first time meeting my Wife.” He thought of a possibility, ”Maybe my mentor specifically instructed her. Ah, he’s put in so much effort.”

”Who knew you were actually a scumbag...”

...

The atmosphere remained lively, and Lin Yuan even had a rare amount of wine during the dinner.

On the way back, Zhang Yan drove, and Lin Yuan sat in the passenger seat.

He wasn’t dozing off from the alcohol but stared blankly out the window.

”What are you thinking about? I felt like something was on your mind just now.” Zhang Yan, taking advantage of a red light, looked at Lin Yuan’s reflection in the passenger window and asked softly.

”Why is everyone telling me: Little Xia and I are not from the same world?”

Zhang Yan thought for a moment, ”What do you want to say?”

”You think so too, don’t you?”

”Yes. But I didn’t advise you to abandon Little Xia. I really admire your loyalty.”

”Actually, I’m not just nostalgic.”

”Then what else?”

Lin Yuan sat up straight and took a sip from Zhang Yan’s water cup. ”I just hate these barriers. Why does this big world have to be divided into small worlds?

Zhang Yan, do you ever feel that, compared to Xia Ye, aside from what your native family gave you, there isn’t much difference between you two?

Figure, appearance, intelligence, I think there isn’t much fundamental difference between you.”

The car suddenly accelerated, then braked sharply shortly after, stopping in an empty spot by a road sign. Lin Yuan was thrown back and forth, almost retching.

Zhang Yan looked at Lin Yuan with a slight smile, ”What do you mean? Are you trying to rebel against this world? And starting by rebelling against me?”

”No, I’m just discussing it rationally.”

Zhang Yan said exasperatedly, ”Senior Brother, it’s the first time someone has said something so offensive to me. But I’m surprisingly not very angry. I think I’m a little crazy.”

”You’re not angry?” Lin Yuan gestured to the fact that she had just deliberately stepped on the gas and then braked to torment him.

”I wanted to be angry, but I couldn’t.”

”Why not?”

”Because there doesn’t seem to be anything to refute you. You seem to have endowed Little Xia with too many things, but the question is, does she know?”

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples, ”It’s not like I endowed her with too many things. I just had some liquid courage and was thinking randomly.”

”Then continue. Let’s just get it all out today.”

”I think there’s a problem with humans doing this. Because it’s not conducive to full competition.”

”Are you saying I’m using my family background to suppress Little Xia? That I should compete fairly with her in front of you?”

”I don’t mean that. I’m talking about a problem within the entire human scope, not just between you and Little Xia.”

”But the implementation of your viewpoint is on me and Little Xia.”

”I was just giving an example.”

”Then what exactly do you want to say?”

”I’m thinking, is there any algorithm that can minimize the competitive gap caused by birth?”

Zhang Yan smiled, then unbuttoned the top two buttons of her collar, instantly revealing her fair neck to Lin Yuan.

Under the influence of alcohol, Lin Yuan’s eyes immediately became hazy.

Zhang Yan, however, made no further moves. She just whispered, ”How about I don’t look for you anymore? I’ll find someone else, there are plenty of people chasing me anyway. Let’s break up. You and your Little Xia can grow old together, a lifelong couple.”

Lin Yuan was stunned, ”You unbuttoned your shirt, looked at me with those eyes, and then said something like that? What are you trying to do?”

”Tsk~, hypocrite.” Zhang Yan then rebuttoned her collar, ”Senior Brother, look at you. I unbuttoned two buttons, and you couldn’t restrain yourself. That look in your eyes just now, were you thinking of something happening between us? Did you forget the profound topic you were discussing a second ago?”

Lin Yuan only then recalled, ”Oh, right.” He then turned his head away, looking embarrassed.

”You can’t even resist the temptation of two buttons, yet you have the nerve to complain about parents’ love for their children. Parental love is much stronger than romantic love.

When you have your own children in the future, then think about what you just said.

Don’t get lost after a few drinks.

You, you can’t leave me.”

”Why? Why can’t I leave you?”

”Without me, you’d be foolish. You succeeded too quickly and haven’t adapted to the rules of this world. Although I really don’t want you to completely submit to the rules of this world, I also don’t want you to be so stubborn as to seek death.

So, you need me.”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, ”You’re really right.”

”Senior Brother, how about we don’t go back today?”

”Are you addicted to unbuttoning?”

”No, we’ve known each other for so long, it’s time for things to happen naturally.”

”No,” Lin Yuan said firmly, ”Little Xia and I haven’t reached fruition yet, you have to wait in line.”

”What? You and Little Xia, nothing?”

”She’s not interested lately, I can’t force her, can I?”

”Alright. But why does something like this have to follow a first-come, first-served rule?”

”Consider it my silent rebellion against this world.”

Zhang Yan laughed, ”You insist on Little Xia being before me? What kind of twisted preference is that? You want to use a ’second-hand’ one? You’re so childish.”

Lin Yuan sighed, ”I can’t even resist the temptation of two buttons. But on this matter, I will insist.”

The car continued to move, and Zhang Yan said nothing more.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, became a little curious, ”Why aren’t you saying anything?”

”What do you want me to say? Argue with you? You’re just deceiving yourself. Both Little Xia and I have managed to only like one person, but you can’t even do that. Your approach is the best manifestation of the strong’s advantage.

In a group, if one person takes two, there will be one more single person.

Why don’t you empathize with that single person?

What right do you have to complain? You just don’t like being pointed at, but you insist on giving your ideas a grand excuse.

Senior Brother, you should think more about small problems, instead of always thinking about those metaphysical human grand problems.”

Lin Yuan immediately sobered up, ”Little Sister, you’re absolutely right. Instead of thinking about such vague problems, I should first solve the problems in the food delivery industry. Stabilizing the food delivery industry would also be a benefit for hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. It’s better than me thinking about these useless things here.”

Zhang Yan continued, ”Now that’s my Senior Brother. The human collective has never been noble. If you start from a noble narrative, your starting point is wrong from the beginning.”

Lin Yuan stared at Zhang Yan for a long time.

”Why are you looking at me? Do you think I’m beautiful? If you think I’m beautiful, let’s go to a hotel.”

”Can you be serious?” It was rare for these words to come from Lin Yuan’s mouth, ”I just feel that you are also my anchor point.

Holding Little Xia always reminds me of where I came from, which makes me feel grounded.

And you often keep my mind clear, so I don’t act impulsively.”

”Heh~” Zhang Yan laughed and scolded, ”You’re just saying you want to have both, aren’t you?”
