Yin Shiyu admitted that when he heard this question, he could feel that he was almost completely flustered.
He had been emphasizing that he had no other intentions, but his actions seemed to contradict that.
“Brother Jing, the food’s served.”
Yin Shiyu’s obvious change of topic didn’t get directly called out by Chen Yanjing, who still gave him face.
“It looks pretty good, it should taste good.” Chen Yanjing commented.
“I hope so.” Yin Shiyu said, “We each picked half of the dishes.”
“What’s going on? You’ve already divided up the responsibilities before we’ve even started eating?”
Yin Shiyu nodded: “That’s right.”
Chen Yanjing didn’t say anything more to him; for him, these things were really unnecessary, as long as Yin Shiyu was happy.
In fact, the food at this restaurant was actually quite good.
Yin Shiyu liked to talk, not mainly for depth or pursuit, but mainly because he really enjoyed talking.
He always liked to gain something from such exchanges.
Sometimes Yin Shiyu himself didn’t even know what he was thinking, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
For him, he wouldn’t care too much about any form of time, as long as it was his own.
After all, it was his own time, and the main feelings belonged only to him.
“It feels so worth it,” Chen Yanjing said. “I thought you were going to become a melancholic god, but it turns out I was overthinking it.”
Expecting Chen Yanjing to say anything nice was a waste of time.
Yin Shiyu didn’t argue with him about anything; these things weren’t really relevant to them.
Rather than worrying about other things, the two of them were more concerned about how they would balance their experiments and studies this semester.
In other words, how to achieve a balance between their slacking off and causing trouble.
“It seems the StarNet has some new experimental data. Although it’s not related to our experiments, I still wanted to tell you,” Chen Yanjing said, looking at Yin Shiyu.
Yin Shiyu nodded: “Then I’ll go take a look.”
He still cared about these things; if Yin Shiyu could be indifferent, he wouldn’t be himself.
There were many things that were very important to him.
Whether it’s experimental data or anything else, Yin Shiyu always glances at it first before considering whether it’s meaningful to him.
He spent some time browsing the information.
Yin Shiyu quickly sensed that the first set of data was quite interesting.
“Have you eaten?”
Chen Yanjing was taken aback when Yin Shiyu asked this, and he quickly put down his chopsticks: “Let’s go back and do the experiment.”
“You understand me so well.” Yin Shiyu was very happy, and then went back with him.
He rarely showed this state anymore, because he wanted to do the experiment, so he put aside everything else. He really hadn’t had any inspiration lately.
From childhood to adulthood, Yin Shiyu had always been this kind of person.
“I still find it very interesting.”
Chen Yanjing found it a little funny when he heard him say this, but he had always been like this.
Yin Shiyu came from a wealthy family, so he didn’t care about many things, but he cared a lot about experiments.
Essentially, he genuinely enjoyed doing experiments, and he hoped to have some abilities that others didn’t have.
Although Yin Shiyu himself didn’t understand these things, Chen Yanjing was always by his side, so of course he couldn’t be unaware.
After Yin Shiyu returned to Xinghai Academy, the two of them didn’t do anything else.
Yin Shiyu had come back specifically for this data, so of course he wouldn’t forget it.
Essentially, he was doing these things simply to satisfy himself.
Although Yin Shiyu himself wasn’t clear on these things, Chen Yanjing had been by his side the whole time, so he couldn’t possibly be oblivious.
After Yin Shiyu and Chen Yanjing returned to the floating island where Xinghai Academy was located, they went straight to the laboratory without saying anything else.
Yin Shiyu had come back specifically for this data, so he wouldn’t let anything else disrupt his rhythm.
For example, he wouldn’t complain about how annoying it was to set so many passwords; all he cared about now was the experiment itself.
Although Yin Shiyu hadn’t done any research alone for a long time, this was his area of expertise, so he got started very easily.
Before long, he found his rhythm. Chen Yanjing didn’t yet know what specific data Yin Shiyu needed, or how he could help.
So he simply assisted Yin Shiyu when needed.
Chen Yanjing saw that he was very interested and thought it was good.
Previously, Yin Shiyu had almost always acted this way; whenever he wanted to conduct research, he would inevitably achieve results.
Yin Shiyu might not have had strong ideas about the experiments themselves, but he found the sense of accomplishment he gained from them extremely valuable.
He enjoyed mastering abilities that he could control but others lacked.
Yin Shiyu believed this was a crucial ability in the current era.
On this point, the two of them shared the same view.
Yin Shiyu was already considered a genius in this area, but he simply wouldn’t speak out.
He knew that once he entered the public eye, he wouldn’t have as much freedom in many things.
Yin Shiyu had actually seen through many things long ago.
Chen Yanjing couldn’t yet discern what direction Yin Shiyu intended to take, and he wouldn’t offer any guidance.
The faster Chen Yanjing watched Jiang Chuan write formulas beside him, the more he realized how much he cared about this matter.
Therefore, he was very willing to lend a helping hand to Yin Shiyu.
“Alright, I’ve calculated it!”
After a long period of silent calculation, he suddenly spoke.
This meant he had indeed obtained very useful data.
This was absolutely something to be happy about; Chen Yanjing could almost feel how important this result was.
He proactively extended his hand, and Chen Yanjing gave him a high five. At that moment, he truly felt relaxed.
Yin Shiyu was so focused that he didn’t have time to ask, and he wasn’t even sure what kind of data Yin Shiyu needed.
“Now that the result is in, I need to study it carefully.”
“Take a look,”
Yin Shiyu said. After he finished speaking, Chen Yanjing didn’t do anything else but carefully examined the data.
Since Yin Shiyu had already calculated the result, it was relatively simple to deduce the preceding information.
Chen Yanjing had always done experiments with him, and he had seen Yin Shiyu calculating the data earlier, so he could quickly understand what Yin Shiyu was calculating.
Many people believe that mastering a particular subject requires long-term accumulation, which is true to some extent.
However, Yin Shiyu doesn’t fit the typical path of a researcher or inventor.
Most of the time, he prioritizes his own life; his pursuits and ideals come after these things.
But if you actually have the opportunity to interact with him, you’ll find that he is indeed very suitable for research.
He will always have the passion to do these things, and even if it takes a lot of time, he won’t complain.
Yin Shiyu’s biggest flaw was that sometimes he himself didn’t know what he was thinking; otherwise, he had no major shortcomings.
Since Yin Shiyu had completed the project he needed to calculate, he could now rest for a while.
He didn’t do anything else, just opened a bag of snacks next to Chen Yanjing, grabbed two bottles of water, and sat in a very relaxed posture.
Yin Shiyu answered any questions Chen Yanjing had directly, so the two quickly confirmed each other’s line of thought.
The fact was, the experimental data Yin Shiyu obtained was indeed outstanding. Before this, no one had proposed any particularly important theories in this field and implemented them successfully.
If they continued their research, they would definitely obtain some results.
Even if these results weren’t immediately useful, given time, their usefulness would become apparent.
Neither of them was in a hurry, nor would they disregard other things for immediate gains.
“These are all calculations I made based on existing conclusions. There might be room for improvement, but we can stop for now,” Yin Shiyu said.
Chen Yanjing nodded. He understood Yin Shiyu’s meaning. While the data he had obtained was useful, it was only what he had calculated in such a short time.
If someone else was also interested in this experimental data, they could calculate it as well.
Therefore, if they really wanted to continue the research, they would have to spend more time.
“Brother Jing, in your opinion, is it necessary for the two of us to continue this research?”
Yin Shiyu might usually be lazy and casual, but he wouldn’t be casual about such questions; he asked this very seriously.
“Absolutely, but aren’t we doing a bit too much?” Chen Yanjing smiled, deliberately asking in a relaxed tone.
“Can’t the two of us finish it?” Yin Shiyu suddenly felt a little guilty.
