After recuperating for a few days, Li Zetian became alive and kicking again.

They were originally just some superficial wounds, nothing much.

During this period, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu stayed together all day, and their affection grew day by day.Full novel: Giant of the Era — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

When Yu Jingqiu learned that Li Zetian was actually still writing novels, and that his novels were a massive hit in Taiwan, she couldn’t help but feel greatly surprised.

After reading “The Devotion of Suspect X” herself, she admired Li Zetian from the bottom of her heart, and it also strengthened her choice!

Such an outstanding man, where in this world could you find one?!

Li Zetian’s new work “Journey Under the Midnight Sun” was also completed during this period.

Yu Jingqiu was the first reader of this book and gave Li Zetian many constructive suggestions.

After the new book was finished, Li Zetian printed a copy and sent it to his father Li Chengzhi, preparing to serialize it in “Life” magazine.

“The Devotion of Suspect X” made the pen name Mr.

Li famous and renowned in Taiwan.

Even many media in Hong Kong, mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and other regions reported on it.

Moreover, several international publishing giants had already come knocking on the door, such as Kadokawa Shoten from Japan, Pearson plc from the UK, Samsung Publishing from South Korea, and so on, expressing their willingness to translate “The Devotion of Suspect X” into Japanese, English, Korean, etc.

The joining of publishing giants in the competition doubled the value of “The Devotion of Suspect X”!

However, Li Zetian still did not agree to authorize it.

He wanted to wait until “Journey Under the Midnight Sun” was released, to once again set off a mystery novel frenzy!

At that time, countless publishers fighting over “The Devotion of Suspect X” and “Journey Under the Midnight Sun” would inevitably offer better conditions!!!

Soon, 1973 passed.

A new year brings a new atmosphere.

This year will welcome a brand new era!

Li Zetian eagerly waited in his heart for Intel to release the Intel-8080 microprocessor!

…

…

The 20-day vacation passed in a flash, and Harvard University gradually regained its former liveliness!

When Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer returned to the dormitory, they were astonished.

Li Zetian, known as Harvard’s number one nerd, actually had a beautiful woman hidden in a golden house and got an exceedingly beautiful girl as his girlfriend.

It was simply a miracle!

Especially Bill Gates, who was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

He thought to himself, we are all nerds, how come the difference is so huge?

When Yu Jingqiu left, Bill Gates immediately pulled Li Zetian aside and secretly asked: “Chronos, you’re awesome.

Right after the holiday, you got such a beautiful girl like Susan to be your girlfriend.

Are there any secrets or methods?

Teach me, I’m also single!!!”

“Susan Yu” was Yu Jingqiu’s English name.

Bill Gates leaned forward, listening carefully.

But Li Zetian didn’t tell him the method, but said: “Wait until you have the tickets!”

“What are tickets?” Bill Gates asked in confusion.

“Things like banknotes!”

Li Zetian shook his head.

Being uncultured is truly terrifying.

Bill Gates should really study Chinese well!

Hearing Li Zetian’s explanation, Bill Gates immediately understood he was joking with him.

Bill Gates couldn’t help shaking his head, thinking to himself, forget it, I won’t ask.

Looking at him, he didn’t seem like a master at chasing girls.

Maybe it was Susan who chased him!

Rather than asking Chronos, it would be more reliable to ask Steve Ballmer.

He was a key member of the male student “Fox Club” and had dated many girls.

His experience was super rich!

So, Bill Gates went to Steve Ballmer for help.

Ballmer patted his chest and smiled: “Don’t worry, just leave this matter to me.

Tomorrow I will take you to participate in the Fox Club’s social activities and introduce you to a few beauties!!!”

“Mhm, fine, then I’ll leave it to you!”

However, although Bill Gates went to the Fox Club to participate in social activities, he ended in failure and remained single.

Because of Yu Jingqiu’s presence, the dormitory, which used to be like a doghouse, finally changed.

First, it became clean; second, it became livelier and more energetic.

In addition, benefiting from Li Zetian, everyone could often eat the delicious food made by Yu Jingqiu.

And the news of Yu Jingqiu and Li Zetian dating gradually spread at Harvard University.

A sophomore goddess from the music department falling in love with Harvard’s number one nerd, what a bizarre combination was this?!

There were those who mocked!

There were those who envied!

As for what others thought, Yu Jingqiu didn’t care at all.

Even her roommate Chen Ruoxi had advised Yu Jingqiu not to be with Li Zetian, saying her conditions were so good, why not find someone with a strong family background?

Being with Li Zetian, they were mismatched!

However, Yu Jingqiu neither agreed nor disagreed, only saying: “Just wait a few years, and you will know whether my choice is correct or not!”

Chen Ruoxi shook her head.

She admitted Li Zetian was a genius, but which student at Harvard University wasn’t a genius?

Besides Harvard University, there were many Ivy League schools in the United States that could rival Harvard University.

Which student there wasn’t a genius?

It could be said that geniuses were as common as dogs, but how many people could have a net worth of over a hundred million?

After these people graduated from college, didn’t the vast majority also work for others?!

Among them, Wang Laboratories alone had dozens of employees from Harvard University.

…

Harvard University Library.

Yu Jingqiu nudged Li Zetian’s arm and asked in a low voice: “Chinese New Year’s Eve is coming soon.

Are you going back to celebrate the New Year?”

Li Zetian thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: “I probably won’t go back.

American universities basically won’t give Chinese students a holiday during the Spring Festival.

My dad once studied in the United States, and he knows about this.

Based on my understanding of my parents, they definitely hope very much that I go home for the New Year, but they are even more unwilling to let me delay my studies!

So, even if I tell them I’m going to Taiwan to celebrate the New Year with them, they will definitely firmly stop me.

I don’t want them to worry…” Li Zetian planned to keep his future dropping out and starting a business a secret from his parents.

When Bill Gates dropped out to start a business, he encountered frantic opposition from his parents.

Li Zetian didn’t want this kind of thing to happen to him too.

Yu Jingqiu then sighed with emotion: “Parents all hope their children will become dragons!”

“Yes…” Li Zetian nodded.

Yu Jingqiu comforted: “It’s fine.

If you can’t go back for the New Year, you still have me.

I’ll accompany you to celebrate the New Year!”

Hearing this, Li Zetian felt a warmth in his heart.

As New Year’s Eve approached, the Chinese Scholars and Students Association at Harvard University began preparing some programs and invited Chinese students who couldn’t go home for the New Year to celebrate together.

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu were both invited.

“Every New Year’s Eve, the gala held by the Chinese Scholars and Students Association will have many programs, such as dancing, singing, etc…” Yu Jingqiu held Li Zetian’s hand and walked on the quiet path lined with plane trees on both sides, introducing to him, “Last year, I even went on stage to perform singing!!!” After saying that, Yu Jingqiu showed a proud expression.

Li Zetian smiled: “If you like singing, I can write a song for you!”

“Okay!” Jingqiu nodded and agreed.

She thought to herself, Zetian didn’t seem to have written any songs during his time at Harvard University, right?

He was even mocked by people in his class because of this, saying he shouldn’t have come to the music department, but should have gone to the computer department!

Zetian possessed unparalleled talent in computer science, mathematics, and literary creation.

Could it be that he also had such powerful talent in music?

No!!!

If he didn’t have extraordinary talent in this area, how could he have applied for the Harvard University Conservatory of Music?

Zetian is a very low-profile person.

He didn’t apply for the computer department, but instead applied for the music department.

Does that mean his musical talent is even greater than his computer talent?

If Li Zetian knew she was thinking this way, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself, do you think I wanted to apply for the music department?

That’s how it was when I transmigrated over, I had no choice either…
