A life of financial freedom

"Well, speak of the devil."

"Teacher Fei Jie is back."

A man appeared at the office door, not particularly tall, with a slightly sturdy build, dressed in a simple, solid-colored shirt and dark casual pants.

His dark skin conveyed a sense of simplicity, and black-framed glasses sat steadily on the bridge of his nose.

Meeting the gazes of many colleagues, Fei Jie forced a smile and then asked Chu Yi, "What brings you here?"

"I'm back in Shanghai," Chu Yi said naturally, linking her arm with Fei Jie's.

Fei Jie's dark face flushed slightly red.

"Teacher Fei Jie, are you still shy?"

"You two have been dating for so long, and you're still so bashful."

"You two haven't done your homework yet, have you?" a colleague joked.

Faced with his colleagues' teasing, Fei Jie didn't know how to respond, but Chu Yi retorted, "Teachers, do you have no shame?"

"We have no shame!"

Chu Yi: "..."

She rolled her eyes, and after Fei Jie put down his textbook, she pulled him out of the office.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"One is introverted and shy, the other is extroverted and outgoing, their personalities complement each other, they're quite a match."

"Indeed."

"But Chu Yi looks so much like that big star Chu Yi on TV, could she really be that big star?"

As soon as this was said, many teachers in the office looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

"That's quite humorous."

"Although they share the same name and similar appearance, there's no way she could be the big star Chu Yi."

"If she were the big star Chu Yi, why would she be interested in Teacher Fei Jie? Their statuses are worlds apart."

"Exactly, a beautiful celebrity falling in love with an ordinary person only happens in stories."

None of the teachers would ever associate Chu Yi with the big star Chu Yi.

In the minds of ordinary people, the two would never cross paths.

Moreover, Fei Jie is also an ordinary person, although he works at a university and has a high degree, there is still a vast difference between them.

... ...

Chu Yi linked her arm with Fei Jie's, and the two walked along the road towards the outside of the school.

Along the way, many students cast strange glances at Chu Yi, surprised, but when they saw Chu Yi linking her arm with Fei Jie's, they smiled knowingly.

How could the big star Chu Yi appear so openly in public, and be so intimate with a man?

Chu Yi heard the soft laughter, turned her head to look at her boyfriend and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"You really look like the big star Chu Yi," Fei Jie said.

"Is there a possibility that I am a star?" Chu Yi asked seriously.

"Based on deduction, the probability is extremely low."

"Why?"

"The big star Chu Yi on the screen is radiant and dazzling..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yi immediately interrupted, striking an angry pose, "Are you saying that I'm not as good as the big star Chu Yi? I'm angry!"

Seeing his girlfriend's anger, Fei Jie immediately became flustered, opened his mouth, and didn't know how to defend himself.

Seeing her boyfriend's anxious expression, Chu Yi chuckled, "Okay, okay, don't be nervous, I'm not angry."

Hearing this, Fei Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I'm still unhappy that you said I'm not as good as the big star Chu Yi."

Fei Jie was silent for two or three seconds, and then said, "The big star Chu Yi is very dazzling, but you are more real and even more beautiful."

"You are the only optimal solution in my life, the wave function in the Schrödinger equation, once it collapses, it becomes a deterministic existence in my life."

Chu Yi was puzzled: "Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's a concept from mathematics, Schrödinger..."

"Ouch, my head hurts, I've always hated math since I was little, don't explain, shut up!" Fei Jie immediately closed his mouth, and Chu Yi pulled her boyfriend away, "Let's go eat barbecue today, what do you think?"

Chu Yi didn't get the answer she wanted, and said, "Are you mute? Talk to me."

"You told me to shut up," Fei Jie said with a hint of grievance in his tone.

Chu Yi: "..."

It's too difficult to communicate with her boyfriend, they rarely have any chemistry.

... ...

Chu Yi and Fei Jie's acquaintance was an accident.

Once, Chu Yi was driving and accidentally hit Fei Jie, who was thrown into the air. She thought she had caused a disaster.

Who knew that Fei Jie could immediately stand up, and the first thing he did was to look for the mathematical books that had been knocked away, focusing all his attention on mathematics, completely ignoring the blood on his head.

Chu Yi took Fei Jie to the hospital to treat his injuries.

Over time, the two became acquainted.

Suddenly, Chu Yi found that she quite liked this shy, nerdy man who loved mathematics.

She pursued Fei Jie, but initially, Fei Jie was unwilling. In his words: women are too complex, undefinable, unobservable, indescribable, and unpredictable; in comparison, mathematics is simpler.

But Chu Yi couldn't let him have his way, she tried every method of pursuit, and eventually, constant dripping wears away the stone, and she and Fei Jie got together.

The two arrived at the barbecue restaurant, sitting opposite each other, eating their food.

"Teacher Fei, how was school during the days I was away?" Chu Yi asked with a smile.

"It was good."

"So, the days when I'm here aren't good?"

Fei Jie was stunned: "Huh?"

"Teacher Fei, has your job stabilized?" Chu Yi continued to ask.

Fei Jie fell into deep thought, wondering if there were any other traps in his girlfriend's question, but his CPU burned out without detecting any.

He nodded: "Yes."

"That's good," Chu Yi stretched.

Fei Jie is a mathematical genius, he obtained his doctorate at the age of twenty-four, published many papers, and the school extended an olive branch, offering him a teaching position.

He is undeniably impressive.

The two ate and chatted, mostly Chu Yi talking, and Fei Jie listening quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.

Suddenly, Fei Jie thought of something, a hesitant look appeared on his face, and then he said, "Yi Yi, my mom wants to meet your parents."

Fei Jie's parents are farmers, and in the countryside, they hope that their children will determine their marital status as soon as possible. After learning that Fei Jie already had a girlfriend, they wanted to meet Chu Yi's parents.

Hearing this, Chu Yi asked, "Huh? So soon?"

They were only twenty-four years old, and Chu Yi had not thought about this at all.

Fei Jie explained, "It's not to say we're getting married, but they just want to meet each other, that's all."

Chu Yi understood, but she pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Can you give me a little more time?"

Fei Jie nodded.

After dinner, Chu Yi and Fei Jie hugged each other and then parted ways.
