Zhao Yi pursed his lips and only after a moment of thinking did he respond, "Oh, I was pondering over another problem, sorry, I understand it all, thank you, Teacher Hu, this is a big help."
Hu Zhibin forced a smile across his face.
If he was dealing with an ordinary student, he would have picked up a book and whacked him straight across the mouth.

Hu Zhibin knew it was polite talk. How could what he taught be linked to the Goldbach Conjecture?
What a laugh!
Not at all possible!
Even though it was merely casual talk, it still sounded comforting.
