Chapter 404

Gu Lu was right.

Constantine really didn't sleep well last night.

I returned to the hotel room at around two in the morning and lay in bed until around four in the morning before falling asleep in a daze.

Because Constantine was always puzzled.

Why did Gu Lu react so calmly to his threats?

If Gu Lu really didn't care about the Morningside Mathematics Award, wouldn't it mean that his original intention of traveling thousands of miles to China was not achieved at all, rather than delaying his research time?

What a waste!

What Constantine was thinking about over and over in bed was how to stop the loss.

This time when I came to China, I had to take something back home.

Now, Constantine has thought of a practical plan.

"Whether I slept well or not, I won't bother you Gu Lu to worry about it!" Constantine snorted coldly, sat on the chair with his arms folded, and stopped talking to Gu Lu.

…………

At seven o'clock sharp.

The award ceremony of the Morningside Mathematics Prize has officially begun.

The lights in the auditorium dimmed.

The host of the ceremony in a suit stepped onto the stage.

The host first welcomed everyone, and then introduced the leaders in the first row and the nine members of the review committee one by one.

Then comes the routine part - the leader's speech.

Gu Lu knew about this link, so he had already prepared for it.

Gu Lu made up for his sleep in advance.

I guarantee you won’t fall asleep while listening and get embarrassed.

While the leaders were speaking, Gu Lu folded his hands flat on the table, stared blankly ahead, and began to wander.

But Constantine was different.

This was his first time attending an awards ceremony in China. He had never seen such a battle before.

Constantine was completely unprepared.

So when he saw the first leader who was scheduled to take the stage to deliver a speech and had been speaking for nearly half an hour without any intention of stopping, Constantine completely collapsed.

What's more important is that Constantine didn't sleep well at all last night and is very sleepy now.

Therefore, gradually, Constantine felt that his upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting.

Constantine forced himself not to fall asleep.

But the leaders' speeches on the stage were like hypnotic spells.

Constantine did not receive professional training like Gu Lu.

Of course, not long after the second leader came on stage to speak, Constantine fell asleep with his pillow on his arm.

Constantine sat in the middle of the first row.

A very conspicuous location.

As soon as he lay down and fell asleep, many people noticed him.

But everyone didn't say anything when they saw through it, they just chuckled a little in a low voice.

but……

It's okay for Constantine to sleep, but the key is that he still snores.

Forget about snoring, the snoring is so loud.

It didn't take long for Constantine's snoring to overwhelm the leader's speech.

The leader's speech on the stage stopped.

The eyes of more than 400 people in the audience were all focused on Constantine, who was snoring and drooling in the first row.

Another jury member sitting next to Constantine patted Constantine on the arm.

"Professor Constantine, wake up, wake up!"

"Hmm~~"

Constantine woke up in a daze and wiped the saliva from his mouth subconsciously.

The next second, Constantine was horrified.

Consciousness wakes up instantly.

Because Constantine has noticed the focused attention of the audience.

Constantine swallowed hard and asked the jury member next to him, "Did I fall asleep just now?"

The jury member nodded, "Not only did you fall asleep just now, but you also snored."

"The snoring is quite loud." The judge added silently.

In this way, even though he was thick-skinned, Constantine still blushed all the time.

This... is so embarrassing!

It made Constantine want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Gu Lu was still silently finishing his attack at this time.

"Professor Constantine, you fell asleep just now, so you may not know what happened. However, don't worry at all. I have recorded the video and will send it to you later." Gu Lu smiled slightly.

Gu Lu was in a good location, so he secretly took his cell phone and recorded the scene just now.

"Gu Lu, you..." Constantine was hit by Gu Lu, and his anger level increased greatly.

"This is what I should do. You're welcome, and you don't need to thank me." Gu Lu was in a good mood now, so he didn't mind playing with Constantine.

"Huh!" In the current situation, Constantine couldn't do anything.

He could only fold his arms and snort to express his anger.

…………

The awkward atmosphere at the scene was relieved after the leader made a little joke on the stage.

The leader’s speech session continues.

But Constantine knew that he could no longer make jokes while sleeping, but his head still refused to obey his instructions little by little.

"Constantine, here you go."

The jury member next to him poked Constantine, then held a thin and pointed object in his hand and handed it to Constantine.

"What is this?" Constantine was stunned.

"Needle!" the jury member slowly uttered one word.

"When you want to sleep, use this to prick yourself and you won't feel sleepy anymore." The review member explained how to use it to Gu Lu. "It's very effective. Trust me, I have experience."

Constantine took the thin needle from his hand doubtfully.

Constantine hesitated and pricked the back of his hand with the needle point.

"hiss--!"

Constantine gasped.

The pain really hurts.

But the effect is really good.

One stitch down.

Not only was Constantine no longer sleepy, but he also felt full of energy and motivation.

It was as if Constantine had discovered a new world.

After listening for a while, if you feel sleepy, give yourself an injection. If you feel sleepy again, give yourself another injection. Still sleepy? Then give yourself another injection!

Stitch after stitch!

Constantine finally made it to the end of the leaders' speeches.

But I raised my hand and took a look.

There are already dense needle holes on the back of the hand.

…………

The process of the award ceremony finally came to the most eye-catching part of announcing the winners.
