It was late autumn again. When Rong Xi got up in the morning, he saw through the curtains that rain was falling from the eaves of the corridor. He couldn’t help but smile.
“What is brother Rong thinking?”
Chen Chuangu shook his umbrella and asked with a smile as there were water stains on it.
“It’s raining, it’s very good.” Rong Xi replied.
Chen Chuangu was puzzled, “How is it good?”
On rainy days, clothes tended to get wet and shoes and socks got dirty easily due to the muddy roads, which put everyone in a bad mood.
Rong Xi stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater. The water droplets sloshed in his palm for a few times, and then disappeared between his fingers.
“On a rainy night last year, Brother Chen and brother Si stayed at Rong’s house. The scene at that time is still vivid in my mind.”
At first sight of Qin Sizhi, Rong Xi felt his appearance was extraordinary, and nothing else mattered
However, within a year, he had already fallen deeply into someone’s tenderness and was unable to extricate himself, but he was also willing to do so.
Chen Chuangu took it seriously and joked: “When I first met you, you were shorter than this a half height. In just one year, you have become as handsome as a jade man.”
He said this from the bottom of his heart.
Rong Xi’s skin color was extremely white, and even after being burned in the summer, it had not changed at all.
These days, the sky was dark and he was wearing a dark robe, which made his jade-like skin and features stood out even more.
“Fortunately, brother Chen helped me…”
Chen Chuangu waved his hand quickly, “You and I don’t need to be polite. You have also helped me a lot. There is no need to mention everything in the past.”
“Haha,” Rong Xi laughed out loud, “I just thought that if it weren’t for brother Chen, Sizhi and I might not be able to…”
He chuckled lightly but did not finish his words.
But Chen Chuangu knew what he meant and said hurriedly: “It has nothing to do with appearance. Qin Sizhi has never cared about appearance.”
Seeing Rong Xi’s doubts on his face, he said: “You must not know that he was very concerned about you when you were still fat. It was he who asked Siwen to find out how you insulted Siwen. If not, the grievances committed against you will not be cleared up so quickly.”
Rong Xi’s heart skipped a beat, “Seriously?”
“Why did I lie to you?” Chen Chuangu said solemnly, “Rong Xi, he is with you because he likes your temperament and talents, not anything else.”
Rong Xi suddenly showed his face, and said, “Yes, I know.”
His eyes were as curved as the crescent moon, and he seemed extremely happy.
Qin Ke found the purse left by his biological mother after rummaging through the grass. After washing it carefully, he returned it to him thousands of miles away.
Thinking of this, Rong Xi became more and more moved. Every little bit was full of affection.
He just talked about appearance, just joking with Chen Chuangu, but after Chen Chuangu explained, he felt that he liked Qin Ke even more.
“Brother Rong, can you tell me how effective the medicine is?” Chen Chuangu asked ambiguously.
Rong Xi was confused, “What medicine?”
Seeing that his expression didn’t seem to be fake, Chen Chuangu suddenly showed a look of shock, “You and Qin Sizhi haven’t…”
“Chen Chuangu,” Qin Ke’s cold and harsh voice suddenly appeared, “If you have nothing to do, you might as well go and look at the leaves.”
Since the last time he saw the microscope, Chen Chuangu would study it whenever he had nothing to do and was quite interested in it.
He was quite sensible, smiled heartily, stopped disturbing the two of them, and walked along the corridor to the research room.
Rong Xi turned around, met Qin Ke’s eyes, and asked with a smile: “I was drunk last night, did I talk nonsense?”
The young man was extremely quiet and well-behaved after being drunk, Qin Ke said secretly in his heart, but replied otherwise: “Yes.”
Rong Xi suddenly became interested, “What nonsense did I make?”
“It’s not nonsense,” Qin Ke suddenly came closer to him and said in a low voice, “It must be that he spoke the truth after drinking.”
“What is it?” Rong Xi saw that he was teasing him and cooperated with the performance.
Qin Ke put his lips close to his ear and said something very softly. Rong Xi’s face suddenly turned red and he blurted out: “Impossible!”
“Why is it impossible?”
Rong Xi suddenly laughed out loud and fought back: “Qin Sizhi, even if you lie, I still like you very much.”

Over the past year, Rong Xi’s chess skills had improved greatly. Unlike Qin Ke’s strong and domineering style, his chess style was gentle and subtle on the surface, but he had hidden murderous intentions.
Even though Qin Ke had experienced hundreds of battles, it was often difficult to guess where he was going. It wasn’t until he was surrounded and died that he realized that the previous dozens of steps were just the hunters setting traps.
It was quite rare for people to be able to deceive him.
The chess style was like a human being. After Qin Ke and Rong Xi got along for a long time, he knew that Rong Xi was not as gentle and harmless as he appeared. He had a bottom line in mind, and if someone violated it, he would fight back with all his strength.
However, the game of chess was different from reality after all. During the game of chess, Rong Xi could kill Qin Ke without any scruples, but if he was in reality, it might be difficult to do so. Just like when he faced the person who broke into Rong’s house last year, Rong Xi did not take his life.
But because of this, Qin Ke appreciated him even more.
“You lose.”
The young man put his chess piece down. His calm expression suddenly became vivid, and he was slightly proud, which was very different from what he showed in front of others.
Qin Ke sighed softly and joked: “Teaching a talent disciple will starve the master to death.”
“How could that happen?” Rong Xi pretended to be surprised, “You enjoyed a lot when calling me “disciple”.”
“Lanzhi,” Qin Ke couldn’t help but turn his face away, squeezing the chess piece in his hand, not daring to look at Rong Xi again, “Don’t do this again.”
Lanzhi loves to tease people’s hearts more and more. If he didn’t have extraordinary concentration, he would have eaten up the young man.
Rong Xi chuckled, cupped his chin obediently and asked, “Brother Chen asked me just now how effective the medicine is. Your Highness, can you help me clarify my doubts?”
The tips of Qin Ke’s ears suddenly turned red, and his long eyelashes trembled violently.
He was silent for a few moments, then whispered: “My mother gave me the recipe for a secret medicine in the palace. Chen Chuangu left before to prepare this medicine.”
“Where is the secret medicine used? What is its effect?” Rong Xi asked with a smile.
It was so fun to tease and see this surname Qin’s shy expression.
Qin Ke knew that he was teasing him, and he secretly thought naughtily, so he turned around and said: “You will know in the future, there is no need to rush.”
Rong Xi showed no shyness at all and said with a smile: “I wonder if the effect of this medicine will disappear after a few months.”
“It can be guaranteed to remain unchanged for ten years.” Qin Ke responded seriously.
Seeing that he kept turning his head and not daring to look at him, Rong Xi finally felt guilty, so he picked up the chess pieces and said, “Let’s play another game?”
Qin Ke nodded, and the two continued to play chess in the rain.
However, in the next few games, Qin Ke’s chess moves were extremely messy, and Rong Xi had to suspect that someone was in a state of confusion and was no longer focused on playing chess.
Qin Ke was unfocused. No matter how strong his concentration was, he could not resist Rong Xi’s tugging at his heartstrings all day long.
He stood up abruptly, without saying a word, and walked straight out of the study, without even caring about his rain gear. He stepped into the courtyard and let the cold rain pour down on him before disappearing from Rong Xi’s eyes.
Rong Xi: “…” His fire seemed to be a little stronger.
The next day the autumn rain stopped and the sky was blue and cloudless.
When Rong Xi and Qin Ke returned home from their job, they saw Rong Mo squatting in front of the new house and scratching on the ground with branches. Next to him, Guo Yao was looking at him very seriously.
“Could it be the third brother be setting a fire?” Rong Xi approached Qin Ke and teased in a low voice.
Guo Yao often competed with Guo Zigui for the top spot in the school.
She had a great talent for learning, was serious and hard-working, and had a very pure mind. It was only natural that she would achieve great results.
When Rong Mo was sewing fabric wings before, the wings were made with Guo Yao’s help. Since then, she assisted every time a new bird was made.
Both of them were taciturn, but when they were together, no one else could break the atmosphere.
Qin Ke didn’t answer. He didn’t care what happened to the others.
When Rong Xi came closer, he couldn’t help but feel happy when he saw that everything on the ground was an algorithmic formulas. Rong Mo was in his zone again.
The arithmetic course in the school was still simple, but Rong Mo learned far more than his students. He taught Guo Yao arithmetic, and he did have this ability.
Rong Xi’s steps were very light, and the two of them were focused on the problems, and they didn’t notice anyone approaching yet.
The arithmetic she studied was very simple. If it weren’t for Guo Yao’s intelligence, she would not be able to understand it.
Rong Mo wrote a question on a tree branch, waited for Guo Yao’s answer, and accepted Guo Yao’s learning results.
Guo Yao also answered with tree branches and came up with the answer.
The two of them didn’t say a word during the whole process, but they cooperated tacitly and taught successfully.
Rong Xi was extremely pleased and stepped forward to attract their attention.
When the two heard the noise, they stood up and turned around. Guo Yao saluted respectfully, Rong Mo’s eyes brightened slightly.
“The teaching is good and the learning is also good.” Rong Xi praised.
Both of them looked delighted.
Rong Mo took the paper from his arms and handed it to Rong Xi, his eyes full of expectation.
“Is there any progress?” Rong Xi took it and asked in surprise.
Since the last successful flying, Rong Mo had been persevering and striving to make the it leap farther.
He continued to improve and record the detailed data to this day.
Rong Xi read it carefully and couldn’t help but be shocked by Rong Mo’s talent and tenacity. According to the data, after continuous improvement, it could use the wind to glide in the air for more than ten feet, which was about three hundred meters away in later generations.
This was like a magical skill.
At the beginning, he just mentioned the flying kite casually, just to arouse Rong Mo’s interest. He never expected that his third brother would have such perseverance and talent.
It was really a treasure.
“Third brother, you have been developing it for several months. Do you know the reason now?”
Hearing this, Rong Mo nodded and shook his head.
Rong Xi smiled and said: “It can be seen from the records that the more we perfect the arc of the flying wing, the stronger its flying ability is, right?”
Seeing the young man nodding seriously, Rong Xi continued: “If you know how the wind is born, you will know the principle of the flying bird.”
Qin Ke and Guo Yao both listened quietly and were stumped when they heard what was said.
Where does the wind come from? No one knows.
Rong Mo’s eyes showed longing, and he looked straight at Rong Xi, as if praying for him to clear up his doubts.
“Come with me.”
Rong Xi smiled and waved. Seeing that Guo Yao was hesitant to enter, he said gently: “You come too.”
The four entered the study together. Rong Xi took a glass container, which had a rather peculiar shape. It had no lid, and both the bottom and one side had a circular hole, each about the length of a thumb.
He lit a candle, placed it on the table, and asked, “Is there any movement in the flame?”
The doors and windows of the research room were closed, there was no wind in the room, and the flame naturally burned vertically.
All three shook their heads.
Rong Xi smiled faintly and then covered the candle with a glass container, with the bottom hole facing upward. He took an iron pipe as a chimney, vertically connecting it to the hole, aligning the flame of the candle precisely with the hole.
“Look carefully at the movement of the flames.” Rong Xi ordered, and the three of them looked intently, not daring to blink.
At this moment, the side hole was positioned on the right end, while the candle was leaning to the left.
After a moment, Guo Yao’s eyes lit up, “It’s moving!”
Qin Ke couldn’t help but look at Rong Xi, and ask with his eyes, what the reason was for this.
There was clearly no wind in the room, so why does the candle flame tilt to the left?
All six eyes showed amazingly, and Rong Xi no longer whetted his appetite, solemnly explaining: “The burning of the candle generates heat, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the glass generates wind. The wind enters through the hole on the right side and blows the candle flame.”
“Why does the temperature difference cause wind?” Qin Ke asked.
This question involved a very wide range of principles, and he couldn’t explain it clearly for a while.
Rong Xi thought about it for a while, and then joked: “Perhaps the one with a low temperature wants to seek warmth, so he invades the one with a high temperature. The greater the temperature difference, the more aggressive the attack of those with low temperature will be.”
Qin Ke couldn’t help laughing.
He knew that the reason was not simple, but he stopped asking and said warmly: “Since the wind force is generated from this, how does it relate to the shape of the airfoil of the wooden bird?”
“Flow speed.” Rong Xi explained, “When the flame burns, the air of heaven and earth around it flees in confusion, and the air on the right pursues it closely, and the same goes for the flying wings.”
“The flow velocity on the curved surface is higher than that on the flat surface, and a lifting force will be generated.”
It was extremely difficult for Rong Xi to answer. He could not explain many methods and principles in later generations.
Rong Mo’s eyes became hotter and hotter. He seemed to understand, but also seemed to only half understand, but he was immersed in the wonderful principles, and his thoughts were flying out of the sky.
Rong Xi secretly sweated in his heart. The truth of all things could only be arrived at by many scholars after thousands of studies. For everyone in the Wei Dynasty, it was really too advanced.
“Come on, let’s go have dinner.”
Qin Ke saw that he looked troubled and said it warmly.
He shouldn’t make things difficult for Lanzhi by getting to the bottom of it.
Rong Xi was about to answer, but he saw Rong Mo suddenly running out, not knowing what he was going to do.
Guo Yao bowed slightly and left the research room.
During dinner, Rong Xi was distracted and had no appetite. He suddenly realized that he had been quite naive before.
He was too impatient.
Seeing that he only had half the bowl in his stomach, Qin Ke was worried and said, “It was my fault for being too clumsy to understand what you were saying.”
He blamed himself so much that Rong Xi felt more guilty and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s not your fault. It’s because I’m not good at teaching. I was too aggressive.”
In fact, it was because he was too lonely.
Even in later generations, he couldn’t talk with to many people.
On many topics, if two people were not on the same level, it would be difficult to communicate.
He often felt helpless.
“Don’t worry, Rong Mo has good qualifications. He will understand you in time.” Qin Ke comforted him.
Rong Xi hugged him fiercely, pressed his forehead tightly against the man’s shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: “You are too good.”
It was so good that he couldn’t bear to be greedy anymore.
Although there was a gap in cognition, Qin Ke had been silently trying to understand him and help him realize those ideas that the world thought were ridiculous.
It was because he was asking too much.
“But I want to understand you.” Qin Ke lowered his head and kissed his temples.
Lanzhi didn’t know how hot his eyes were or how excited his tone was when he was talking to Cheng Hao, Rong Mo and others.
Because Cheng Hao and Rong Mo understood what he was talking about.
Hearing this, Rong Xi’s eyes instantly became moist.
When he was confused and alone, he didn’t know that someone was approaching cautiously, trying hard to understand him, and he blamed himself for not being able to understand.
“Your fault is my fault.”
He walked too fast and too hastily, and did not take into account that Qin Ke was stumbling forward.
Qin Ke patted his back lightly, “No need to apologize to me, I just want you to be happy. Don’t force anything. You and I can live together for decades, so don’t be impatient.”
“I don’t understand. You can teach me and I will learn slowly.” He continued to coax in a low voice. “One day, I will catch up with you and stand side by side with you.”
Rong Xi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, his expression was both happy and remorseful, “Of course. I’m a little tired.”
Feeling tired due to self-doubt.
Qin Ke gently picked him up and said, “Then let’s rest for a few days.”
Over the past year, Rong Xi has indeed been too busy.
Qin Ke knew that Rong Xi had great ambitions, and he was willing to help him realize it, but he did not want Rong Xi to be affected.
“Are you staying with me?”
“I’ll accompany you.”
The author has something to say:
The cognitive gap is so big that it really can’t be explained…

My science lessons from school were an eternity ago & I am the opposite of a science profile, but even I would have less trouble understanding him than ancient people. So much knowledge was crammed into me that I see the world into a scientific way : gravity, the speed of light, the rain cycle…
Must be so lonely not to have anyone who sees the world as you do.
My hope for him is that he will teach enough bright young minds that he will create a community of knowledge & enlightenment through sharing and debate, similar to today’s university setting, which scholars aspiring to scientific knowledge will floc to, fueling inspiration and innovation.
