The U.S. National Medal of Science Award Ceremony is about to begin.
A tall and thin figure walked silently at the end of the crowd. His black hair and black eyes looked very eye-catching among the blond and blue-eyed Westerners, but this was not the main reason why he attracted attention. What was important was that he had
It has a particularly quiet temperament.
He did not bring a companion to attend, and was alone. He wore a regular slim-fitting suit, which gave him a more upright look.
He was dressed cleanly and without any burden, his eyebrows were extremely clear, and there was no impetuousness on his young face. This was so out of tune with the other people who came to attend the award ceremony.
The National Medal of Science was established by the U.S. Congress in 1959. It is the highest-level award in the field of science and engineering in the United States. It was first awarded in 1962. The National Medal of Science is awarded to winners in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and behavioral sciences.
or social sciences and other fields as a measure of contribution and influence. The medal is personally awarded by the President of the United States in the Oval Office of the White House. It is awarded once a year to no more than 20 winners each time. It is known as the "America's Nobel Prize."
Every award winner present at the meeting was smiling, with the exception of Bai Haoran, who had a light expression.
It's not that he's unhappy or unexcited, it's just that his mind is not here today.
Looking at his watch, he knew that the wedding in San Francisco had already ended at this time, but why was the concern in his heart still not over?!
There is still a little time before the awards ceremony, but all major media have already flocked to the event. In order to avoid the media war like in previous years, the White House has taken special measures this year to draw lots to decide which media will interview which winner.
The media that drew him was from San Francisco.
It’s San Francisco again!
What a coincidence!
Plato said: If you love, please love deeply; if you abandon, please do it thoroughly; don’t be ambiguous and hurt others and yourself.
Bai Haoran smiled slowly. It was such a coincidence that it would be difficult for him to give up.
The award ceremony was held as scheduled. He received the medal from the president and then took the stage to give a prepared acceptance speech, thanking his alma mater, thanking his mentor, thanking his classmates, and thanking many, many people.
After getting off the stage, after the prosperity, I became even more lonely.
Suddenly he felt homesick and wanted to go back to see his mother who was still in China, or to be more precise, his adoptive mother.
Yes, he was adopted. Although his adoptive mother was as good to him as her biological son, and although he had long loved his adoptive mother as her biological mother, there was always a knot in his heart: why did his biological parents not want to
he?!
That year, he was admitted to the best school and the best major in city T. The question in his heart deepened, why, why?!
He walked aimlessly on the street, and then met homeless calla lilies and starfish.
The fate of his siblings seemed much worse than his, but he still envied them. At least they were loved and cherished by their parents as babies. That was a happiness that he had never had and would never have the chance to get again.
His thoughts drifted further and further...until a soft call suddenly came from behind him.
"I'm sorry, are you...Mr. Bai Haoran?!"
Hearing the sound, Bai Haoran slowly turned around and faced a gentle girl.
It was obviously her who came to talk to him, but she lowered her head slightly when he turned around, forcing him to keep his eyes on her for a few seconds.
She is not the kind of beauty that makes people shine, but she is very beautiful and beautiful. Her eyes are black and bright, clean and thorough. Although her nose is not very straight, it is small and delicate. Her lips are small and delicate.
Mei, her lips are pursed tightly at this moment, as if she is in some kind of dilemma.
"I am Bai Haoran, may I ask who you are...?!"
His response made the girl react greatly. She raised her head suddenly, and her long and silky hair flew around her face as lightly as chiffon yarn, adding to her whole person's temperament in an instant.
Sweetness and innocence give people a feeling of spring breeze.
However, after seeing his eyes, she became uncomfortable again.
"Uh...Hello...I'm a reporter from the San Francisco Times...that...that...interview..." the girl stammered.
Bai Haoran got a general idea that she was the reporter responsible for interviewing him, but... she was so young and acted so inexperienced... was she really a reporter?!
In his impression, a reporter shouldn't be like this, at least not like her.
"Miss, what's your name, please?!"
"Uh... I'm sorry... I forgot to introduce myself..." The girl was annoyed for a while, her cheeks were slightly red, and she said awkwardly, "My name is You Xuan, from Yuxi, from Hemerocallis."
As she spoke, she hurriedly handed over her press pass.
Bai Haoran glanced briefly and confirmed her identity, but felt even more incredible.
"Let's sit down somewhere and talk, okay?!" he suggested, as if he was the reporter and she was the interviewee.
"Okay!" You Xuan smiled.
There is a special coffee seat in the interview area. They found a corner and sat down. The spotlights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows were twinkling and the music inside the floor-to-ceiling windows was ethereal.
"What do you want to drink?!" he asked her when the waiter brought them the menu.
"Orange juice, thank you." She glanced quickly, turned to the waiter who was waiting at the table and said politely.
"Iced latte," he said.
The waiter smiled and nodded, put away the menu, left a "Please wait", and then quietly turned around and left.
"You have changed a lot!" she said suddenly.
"..." He was stunned, "You know me?!"
She smiled lightly and said nothing.
Yes, she has known him for more than five years, almost six years ago, and she met him once. She did not expect that she would see him again today.
However, he didn't remember her, he didn't even have any impression of her!
