Chapter 339: Chapter 30 Space-Time Particle_3 Chapter 339: Chapter 30 Space-Time Particle_3 Chu Anqing blinked her eyes, her index finger propping up her chin as she looked up at Lin Xian:

“Space-Time Particle…what is that?”

…

…

Lin Xian thought for a few seconds, smiled, and said:

“It’s just a name Liu Feng made up; it’s not something that has been proven.

We were just discussing some astronomical research findings, and then the conversation strayed far…

The topics got a little sci-fi.”

“So that’s what it was.” Chu Anqing had a sudden realization, her eyes shining as she looked at Lin Xian:

“But Senior Lin Xian, you really are amazing.

You know everything from astronomy to geography, and you’re skilled in all kinds of arts; last time we visited an art exhibition together, you shared so much knowledge with me beyond the arts.”

“At that time, I thought maybe you just had a wider range of interests and knew more.

But I never expected…

as a liberal arts student, you also have such research in the scientific field!

You really are an all-around talent, it feels like you are good at everything!”

“Not at all.” Lin Xian humbly replied:

“You’re exaggerating a bit, I mostly just dabble in these things and am far from a master.”

“Ah…” Chu Anqing let out a light sigh:

“Actually, sometimes I really envy you talented and capable people.

Whether it’s you, Ji Lin, Sister Tang Xin, or Sister Ying Jun…

all of you have great abilities and are exceptional people.”

Having said that, she started to count on her fingers:

“Look, there’s no need to speak of you, Senior Lin Xian, you always surprise us, smart and knowledgeable; Ji Lin’s death was very distressing to me, but he did something wrong and it was unavoidable, yet he was truly good at writing novels; Sister Tang Xin is the same…

not only is she a good violinist, but she’s also a successful scientist; and Sister Ying Jun goes without saying, beautiful, kind-hearted, and very capable.

My father frequently mentions her with high praise.”

“There are so many amazing people around me, I feel like everyone is outstanding.

Only I…”

Chu Anqing pursed her lips, looked up and smiled:

“Compared to you all, I feel like aside from being Chu Shanhe’s daughter, I really am nothing.”

“That’s not true.”

Lin Xian quickly picked up the conversation, wanting to compliment Chu Anqing.

But he realized…

There indeed wasn’t much to praise!

If he had to say something, Chu Anqing’s dancing was quite good, but honestly, it wasn’t so outstanding as to astound the world; her ability to perform on many stages and in many shows, to receive flowers and applause…@@novelbin@@

everyone was clear on why.

Chu Shanhe.

Because she was Chu Shanhe’s daughter.

That’s why she had everything she did now.

She wasn’t the best dancer in East Sea University, nor was she the best in Donghai City.

But the girl who solo danced at the Donghai City Music Gala was her and only her.

Not because she danced well.

Just because she was Chu Shanhe’s daughter.

So…

In a way, Chu Anqing wasn’t wrong.

If anything, she understood this point better than anyone else, having the self-awareness to know that without her father’s halo and affection, she was just an extremely ordinary girl.

Except for being cuter and prettier.

Her studies weren’t outstanding,

Her athletic skills were only average,

The so-called good foundation in dance was also because she had personal instruction from famous teachers from a young age, just a head start,

Her mind wasn’t genius,

She didn’t have any other remarkable skills,

Her knowledge and insight weren’t profound,

For a moment…

Lin Xian didn’t know how to comfort her.

If Chu Anqing was this self-aware, any unrealistic praise would seem more like irony than comfort.

Like a lump in his throat.

It was only today that Lin Xian realized how ordinary Chu Anqing really was—something he had never recognized before.

But if the awkward silence continued…

that would be even worse, right?

Lin Xian took a breath—

“Hehe, little sister, you can’t think like that.”

Uh.

Lin Xian hadn’t even finished catching his breath when Liu Feng approached with a chuckle, looking at Chu Anqing and saying:

“You’re still young; it’s too early for you to worry about these things.

Plus…

where the bright spots of a person’s life script lie is uncertain for everyone.

Speaking of being useless or being nothing, I have even more right to speak than you do.”

Liu Feng pointed to himself:

“I’ve loved mathematics since I was young, spent my entire undergraduate and graduate studies researching mathematics, all for a project that no one recognized and that was full of mistakes.

All this time, I have never succeeded even once, a complete failure.”

“Not only that, my personal life has been a mess.

I gave up mathematics to earn money wherever possible to care for my seriously ill girlfriend, yet in the end, I couldn’t save her life and wasted the time I could have been with her; I really failed at everything I attempted, empty-handed.”

“I’m already 27 years old, still as unsuccessful and empty-handed as ever.

But…

ever since I met Lin Xian, I feel like all the past failures, even if I failed my whole life, don’t matter at all.”

He smiled, turned his head to look at Lin Xian:

“Lin Xian told me that some things, some actions, might be wrong a thousand, ten thousand times, but that doesn’t matter.

They only need to be right in the most critical moment, just that one time.”

“I still believe in those words without a doubt today.

I believe it’s something only I can do.

Perhaps my life…

exists just for that moment, that second, that one time.

Just the highlight of that moment is enough to dispel the gloom of my whole life.”

“So…

little sister, I think your life may be the same.”

Liu Feng looked into Chu Anqing’s raised eyes:

“Don’t hastily negate your value, the time just hasn’t come for you to play your role; just like what I said earlier, it doesn’t matter if you’re wrong your whole life, some things only need to be right once in a lifetime.”

“There’s definitely something in this world prepared just for you, created for you, that only you can achieve.”

“[Besides you…

no one else will do!]”
