Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most of Guo Miao’s schedule would be broadcast live online.
After Guo Miao solved Kratz’s conjecture, her previous TV series and speech at the math competition were all dug up and made into videos. They dominated the top spot on China’s largest video website for several weeks.
Originally, the popularity had already died down, but the matter of Laurent was like a bomb that ignited everyone’s emotions again. The Laurent Award had been on the trending searches for many days.
Li Liang praised Guo Miao for her help in spreading scientific knowledge in China.
After all, before Guo Miao, there was no one else who could make these uncommon academic terms become hot topics.
Guo Miao was assigned to a hotel near the venue. This hotel was very unique. Outside the hotel were snow-capped mountains and various spires.
She could see the ski resort from here.
Thinking that there was nothing much to do tonight, Guo Miao updated Li Liang, rented skis and snow gear from a nearby homestay, and walked toward the ski resort.
It was a working day, so there weren’t many people at the ski resort. There were only some scholars who lived nearby and were there to attend the awards ceremony. Most of them were gathered on the easiest slope and were slowly skiing down.
The appearance of the girl in a fiery red ski suit attracted everyone’s attention.
Sly was staring at the girl standing on the level-2 slope, unable to believe his eyes.
Sly had come to the award ceremony with Yerf. Country E’s medical scientist, Dodge, had been nominated for the medical award. Sly and Yerf had come to accompany him.
Sly didn’t expect to see his idol at the ski resort.
Ever since he saw Guo Miao in the video call at the command center, he had been missing her. Other than his admiration for his idol, he also had some hidden feelings of romance in his heart.
Sly had grown up in a military camp and had always been surrounded by boys. He had never been in a relationship. He had thought that he was only interested in the battlefield and technology, but Guo Miao’s appearance made him experience his first awakening of love.
He applied to study in China with the organization but never got Yerf’s approval.
Yerf knew what he was thinking and wouldn’t approve of such a ridiculous request.
As a young man, it wasn’t easy for him to have his thoughts stifled in their cradle. Sly was naturally very sad, but he didn’t think that he would be able to meet Guo Miao again in a foreign country. This was simply a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, he saw Guo Miao carrying her snowboard onto the level-3 snow slope.
Level 3 was the steepest section of the trail. If one was not an experienced skier, one would probably not choose this path.
He watched as Guo Miao stood at the top of the snow path. She was stepping on a single board as if she was trying to do something.
Sly held his breath.
Standing on the top of the snow mountain, Guo Miao was like a ball of fire or a sun that was emitting light.
The crowd cried out in surprise as Guo Miao began to glide. She soared very fast but was very stable. After gliding for a distance, she rose into the air, flipped a few rounds, then landed steadily on the ground.
Sly opened his mouth wide in shock, hating himself for not having a playback function with his eyes.
In just a dozen seconds, Guo Miao did a few straightforward maneuvers. Her hair blew in the wind, and she looked valiant.
Sly only wanted to keep the scene of the previous skiing in his heart and treasure it forever.
The people at the ski resort also noticed the girl who was skiing on the snow mountain. Her movements were comparable to those of a professional athlete.
Moreover, most of the people at the ski resort were guests attending the award ceremony.
Everyone was trying to guess which guest was going to appear on the slopes.
Sly looked at the girl who was sliding down and felt his heart beating wildly as if it was about to jump out.
He clumsily propelled his snowboard toward the girl. Just as he was about to reach Guo Miao, he slipped and fell in front of her.
“Are you alright?” The girl gently squatted down and helped him up.
Sly was very surprised because Guo Miao wasn’t speaking Country B’s language or Chinese. She was actually speaking Country E’s language. Moreover, she spoke it so fluently that she didn’t seem like a foreigner.
“Hello, I-I slipped and fell just now. I’m sorry..”
