In the dorm room.
Actually, when Thomson said, "[...The Fat Fish once called people like Sir Newton 'this kid']," Xu Yun immediately remembered what it was about.
This had happened early on in the 1665 copy.
Back then, in order to win Little Newton's trust—
He specifically linked Newton's experience to the protagonist in a novel and extended it to the term "this kid." (Chapter Nine)
It was precisely this operation that helped Xu Yun get a bit closer to Little Newton.
He just hadn't expected…
That this whole thing would actually be recorded in Little Newton's autobiography, and even become a major ceremony at the University of Cambridge!
And when picking out "this kid," the whole audience would actually hold ice cubes in their mouths and gasp?
Real "gasping in cold air." (I typed "gasp" and these four characters for "cold air" auto-filled…)
Of course.
This also shows, from another angle, Little Newton's status—he's basically a saint in Cambridge.
But soon enough.
