Chapter 79:

After the award ceremony was over, the solemn and solemn atmosphere in the banquet hall was slightly lighter, and the relaxed and happy dinner officially began.
Li Weigang won the prize, and there was an endless stream of people who came to him to talk to. Zhang Man saw that he could not come back for a while, so he started to eat dinner by himself.
The award ceremony and the dinner were held in Stockholm’s city hall. The dining table was used in the long row of seats in the city hall, covered with snow-white tablecloths, and on top of all kinds of tableware, exquisite gilded tableware, all Engraved with the words Nobel. The dishes at the dinner are different every year. This year is a grand and exquisite French meal, which can be regarded as appetizing.
Zhang Man ate a white wine mussel, picked up the wine glass, smiled and touched the glass with the gray-haired French lady next to him.
The old lady didn't speak English very well, with a strong French accent, her words were a little muddy: "There are wet wipes on the table."
After speaking, she smiled kindly and pointed to her face.
Zhang Man touched her face in the direction of her fingers. Only then did she realize that when Li Wei was speaking on stage, she cried so dimly. At this moment, she is still full of tears, mixed with the makeup on her face. Scary.
She smiled and thanked, took a wet wipe and wiped her face.
Although she has spent so many years in enthusiastic Western countries, she is still a restrained Chinese in her bones, and she is somewhat ashamed to encounter this situation.
The old lady seemed to see that she was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to joke with her: "Don’t feel shy, I was no better than you in the year my husband won the award. Twenty years have passed in a flash, and he joined Nobel Prize Foundation, I will come when I have time every year."
Zhang Man smiled and replied a few words, knowing that the old lady was comforting her.
At that moment, it was really embarrassing. He was shining on the stage, and she was crying with her mouth under her mouth. Probably the whole world watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony can see her embarrassed appearance.
In fact, there are many people who won the Nobel Prize today, and there are also many family members who watched the award ceremony in the audience like her. Under this solemn atmosphere, it is inevitable that most of them were in tears.
But on this occasion, even tears are reserved and reasonable, and there are really few people who are as embarrassed and embarrassed as her.
After drinking some wine, I felt sleepy. In fact, Zhang Man's drinking volume is not bad, but he stayed up until midnight last night before going to bed. He was really sleepy now.
She reluctantly ate something and went to the bathroom to wash her face to keep herself awake. When she came back, she found that Li Wei was already seated.
Zhang Man stood at the entrance and looked over there to see him talking with a scientist next to him.
The man wore a black suit that was well-arranged and straight, and his smooth profile face looked exquisite and tough under the bright light. The facial features were even more attractive than the deep-eyed and high-nosed Danish scientist next to him. His appearance really hasn't changed much from a decade ago. It's just that he is taller and his face is more angular.
At a certain moment, she felt that he seemed to be the young man who turned to look at her at the intersection and held her hand ten years ago.
They are really together, for so many years.
The feelings in the world will settle over time, but for him, after so many years, every time I see him, my heart will be pounding.
Zhang Man pressed the deer who bumped his chest and returned to the seat, rubbing his head against the man's shoulder.
"Manman, what's wrong, are you sleepy? We can go back first."
She rubbed her head against his shoulder again: "Husband, I'm fine. I'll squint by your side for a while. You have something to eat first. You haven't eaten much since you've been busy this morning until now."
She said, yawning.
The man smiled and shook his head, and hugged her waist.
"So why didn't you sleep so late last night."
Yesterday was the day before the awards ceremony. There were many things and procedures to be discussed on the Foundation Committee and the school’s scientific research team. Generally, she would not participate when he was working, but yesterday was too strange.
She started staring at him since she opened her eyes in the morning, following closely and keeping every step of the way, and she also made a lot of weird rules-you can't leave her sight for more than three minutes, you can't lock the door when you go to the bathroom, and you can't use the bathtub for bathing. Don't touch anything sharp.
He couldn't guess her thoughts at all this time, and couldn't get enough of her, so he could only do it.
At night, it was even more inexplicable. The jet lag was finally adjusted. When it was time to go to bed, she just didn't sleep, she had to sit on the bedside and watch him all the time. Then after twelve o'clock, the whole figure suddenly loosened the string. The kind of ease and pleasure is written brightly on the face.
She drank several glasses of wine, sang and danced excitedly in the hotel suite, crying for a while, laughing for a while, scolding him collapsed when she cried, and she couldn't understand what she was scolding; when she was laughing, she had to embrace him and kiss him. While kissing, thanked him vaguely, not knowing what he was thanking for.
He even wondered if she had it again. She was like that when she was pregnant with Chenchen, her emotions were unpredictable, and she tanned at him at every turn.
He wanted to hug her to bed, but she didn't let it go. She had to drag him to waltz in the living room. Of course, the two of them jumped and jumped, and finally jumped on the bed.
Then, the day before the awards ceremony, I went to bed after two in the middle of the night.
Zhang Man pouted and did not answer.
He certainly didn't know why she was so anxious yesterday.
In his previous life, he cut his wrist the day before the awards ceremony and committed suicide, it was yesterday.
Can she not be anxious? It should be said that she has been in an anxious state throughout the year. She herself is a psychiatrist and can't adjust it.
Even if he knew in his heart that his illness was cured, and all the trajectories had changed, he couldn't make the same mistake again. But as long as she thought of her previous life, when she thought of him lying in a blood-red bathtub, she would be so anxious that she would want to tie him with a rope all day.
Zhang Man took the man's hand and his voice was very low: "Before you came to the stage, I was videoing with Chenchen. She, my mother, and Uncle Xu are waiting for the live broadcast together. It is estimated that I will call in a while. Please pay attention to it. , She hasn't talked to dad for several days."
As she said, her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. It might be that she leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep in a short while.
I was already in the hotel when I woke up.
Only the gauze curtain was pulled in the bedroom, Zhang Man glanced at the phone, and at three o'clock in the morning, she rolled over and rolled into the very familiar embrace next to her.
The man slept lightly and woke up at once, put his arms around her, in a low voice and with dim sleepiness: "Wake up?"
There was a good smell of shower gel on his body, which made her feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but rubbed again: "Well, husband, I can't sleep anymore, let's talk a little..."
The man rubbed his eyes, he still accommodated her when he was sleepy.
"Today I sat next to an old French lady. She told me that her husband is a physicist in France, and his field is the same as yours. He also majors in theoretical physics. He won the Nobel Prize more than 20 years ago, called Armand. do you know?"
The man woke up, his hands began to be dishonest, he rubbed her here and there, and stopped after hearing her question: "Well, I know. Manman, Armand was my mother's mentor back then."
Hearing what he said, Zhang Man opened his mouth in surprise and looked up at him. The room was too dark, only his shining eyes could be seen.
It took them a long time to learn that Li Wei's mother Lin Fen was not a musician as he had imagined. She was a physics researcher before she was alive, so the physics books and manuscripts in her library were all bought by his father for his mother.
"Before she gave birth to me, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Normal University in Paris, and she was doing research with Armand's group. I have been chatting with Armand just now. He said that she is the most talented Asian female scientist he has worked with. My father seems to be here too. I met her when I was traveling in France."
Zhang Man sighed.
If Li Wei's mother didn't have a dystocia when he gave birth, his father might not go crazy, and he would not suffer so much misfortune.
"Fortunately, we never separate."
Unexpectedly, the man heard this, but he was a little dissatisfied: "Who said that there was no separation. In the first year I went to Stanford, we were separated for almost a whole year. During the period, when I came back to find you, you were still with... Humph."
He didn't go on, and didn't want to recall it at all, but it was obviously still brooding to mention it after so many years.
Zhang Man put out his tongue with a guilty conscience and shrank into his arms: "My fault, my fault, my baby husband is not angry anymore, okay? I am full of only you in my eyes, and I will only love you forever, other people. I haven't seen it directly."
She kissed him on the chin, and she clung to him every time he mentioned this matter, she coaxed him with the necessary lines, and she felt the man's tight back relaxed a lot.
But I was thinking in my heart, if it weren't for that year, they wouldn't have been so early... and wouldn't get married so early, and that's not a bad thing.
