Qin Ke had just returned to the dormitory after playing basketball. When he was going upstairs, he remembered that he had forgotten to upload the paper on the new conjecture to arVix. He hurriedly opened his laptop and uploaded it, and then ran to take a comfortable cold shower.

Unexpectedly, the roundtable conference room would be in a commotion because of his upload action this time.

The sports level is still LV5, and the improvement is relatively slow. The current upgrade progress is that it is estimated that it will take three months at the earliest to upgrade. However, for Qin Ke, the LV5 sports level brings close to 50%

The improvement in physical fitness has allowed him to fully utilize the basketball skills taught by his father and become a dominant player on the college basketball court.

Moreover, with the bonus of LV5's "Physical Education" subject, one hour of basketball every day only makes Qin Ke sweat. He doesn't feel tired at all, and it will not affect his study status at all, even such intense exercise.

, it also helps him relieve the dull pressure of studying, makes the cerebral cortex more active, and can even listen to the elective courses in the evening with great energy.

When Qin Ke, who was refreshed and carrying the washed clothes, returned to dormitory 501, a group of students were still playing the card game Landlord. This intellectual activity has been popular in the boys' dormitory since December last year.

It has become so popular that even Li Xiangxue, who is addicted to problem solving, often abandons his exercise book and joins the group.

The little fat man Jiang Zhenjie was wearing a T-shirt with a two-dimensional beautiful girl printed on it. He and Li Xiangxue each played a game, fighting two students and having a great time killing each other. Hua Manting was watching the battle, and from time to time he would take out a

Send a message to his beautiful neighbor’s sister on his mobile phone.

The level of landlord fighting in dormitory 501 is now the best in the entire male dormitory. Boys from other departments often come to challenge. Dormitory 501 does not bully others. Only one person comes out at a time to fight alone as a "landlord" against two "peasants" on the other side.

", so far there has been no defeat, which has aroused the competitiveness of the boys in the school, and even the boys from Yanda University have come to challenge.

However, Qin Ke, as the most powerful fighter, usually just doesn't take action.

Seeing Qin Ke come back, everyone greeted him one after another. Li Xiangxue just won one game, so he stopped playing, gave up his position to Hua Manting, and walked to Qin Ke's side.

Qin Ke has always regarded Li Xiangxue as a half-disciple. With his current assets, he is naturally unwilling to accept Li Xiangxue's "consulting fees". However, it was actually Li Xiangxue's "consulting fees" that made Qin Ke rich. Regarding this

Qin Ke always kept it in mind.

At this time, seeing that Li Xiangxue seemed to have something to say, he asked, "Xiangxue, you have a question you want to ask me. Is there anything else you can do?"

Qin Ke has been a little busy recently, but he is used to observing the interpersonal relationships around him. He has noticed that Li Xiangxue has been a little out of shape recently and is more taciturn than usual. On the contrary, he spends less time studying and answering questions, and with everyone

I spend more time playing cards, and there seems to be something bothering me.

That's why Qin Ke asked this question.

He discovered that he really had the potential to be a close brother, and the friends and classmates around him seemed to regard him as the first choice person to ask for advice on problems in study and life.

After listening to Qin Ke's words, Li Xiangxue's usually dull face actually showed a look of hesitation. He was silent for a while before saying: "Brother Ke, my dad wants to treat you to dinner."

"Your dad?" Qin Ke thought for a while and then remembered that Li Xiangxue's father seemed to be the internationally famous music master Li Shikun. His attainments in classical music and piano are both world-class. He is now the best in Huahai Province.

Dean of the Conservatory of Music.

"Why does your dad suddenly want to invite me to dinner?" Qin Ke asked curiously.

Li Xiangxue shook his head and did not answer, but Qin Ke still noticed that his expression was a little depressed.

Qin Ke thought for a moment and said, "If it's convenient, could you tell me your dad's phone number? I'll chat with him directly and just invite him to dinner."

Li Xiangxue reported his father's phone number, and Qin Ke wrote it down. After drying the clothes, he went to the rooftop of the dormitory building to call a quieter corner.

Soon a rich baritone voice came from over there: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello Uncle Li, I am Qin Ke, Li Xiangxue's classmate."

"Oh, it turns out it's Qin Ke." It was Li Shikun on the other end of the phone, and his attitude immediately became gentle: "Did Xiang Xue tell you? When are you free? I've been in the capital for meetings these days.

I would like to treat you to a meal and thank you for taking care of Xiang Xue."

"Uncle Li, you're welcome. Xiang Xue and I are good friends, so we should help each other. Besides, I've been quite busy studying recently, so I can't leave school for the time being."

"This way..." Li Shikun was a little disappointed.

"Uncle Li, do you have something you want to tell me?" Qin Ke didn't think that such an elder would treat him to dinner just to connect with his son's classmates, and he was afraid he might have some hidden agenda.

Li Shikun pondered for a while and finally said: "I really want to ask you for help with something. Will you be free in half an hour? I am not far from Qingmu University now, so I have to talk to you in person about this matter.

"

Qin Ke looked at the time. It was now around six o'clock in the evening, and said, "No problem. I have class at seven-thirty in the evening. I'm free before then."

"I will interrupt you for about twenty minutes. Then we will meet at the main entrance of Qingmu University in thirty minutes."

"no problem."

Qin Ke had dinner with Ning Qingyun, and after talking to her about the incident, he came to the main entrance of Qingmu University alone. During this period, he also received a call from Wei Yuanfu, and listened to Lao Wei's excitement about the new student.

Something to guess.

After finally dealing with Director Wei, Qin Ke just arrived at the main entrance when he saw a black Lincoln slowly stopped, and a man in his forties or fifties with a haggard face stepped out of the passenger seat.

The man was wearing a crisp suit and his hair was combed very neatly. He was somewhat similar to Li Xiangxue, but he had more of the boldness and elegance of an artist and a big shot, which formed a sharp contrast with the usually unkempt Li Xiangxue.

Qin Ke had just checked Li Shikun's photo on the Internet. He recognized it at a glance and took the initiative to say hello: "Uncle Li."

"Qin Ke, you look younger than the photos on the Internet. You are really awesome and have a bright future. Such a young winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize has broken the record of our Xia Kingdom." Li Shikun shook hands with Qin Ke in a cordial tone: "Do you want to

Come with me to have a meal at the restaurant next door?"

Qin Ke was quite familiar with the social routines of these middle-aged people. He shook his head and said, "I've already eaten, Uncle Li. If you have something to say, you can just say it. I will help as much as I can."

Li Shikun signaled the driver to leave first, then walked side by side with Qin Ke and strolled into the campus.

"Qin Ke, you probably don't know much about Xiang Xue's past, right? He's a kid who doesn't talk much, and he probably hasn't mentioned anything about his family to you."

"He usually prefers to read books and do questions, and he talks less."

Li Shikun sighed softly: "Not only does he talk less, he couldn't even say a word for a year before. When he went home during the Spring Festival this year, he took the initiative to talk a lot, and even talked about playing poker with his classmates. You don't know that I have

How happy. This is the first time I have seen him integrated into a group, thanks to you."

"Xiang Xue is a good boy, he's just not very good at interacting with others."

Li Shikun shook his head and said: "This child was not like this when he was a child. He was quite lively and active, and he also liked to sing. Oh, his mother sang bel canto."

Speaking of the past, Li Shikun's tone became a little more melancholy without realizing it.

"Before Xiangxue was six years old, I was not very famous, and my family's conditions were relatively average. Not to mention a car, I couldn't even afford a house. I could only rent a house to live in. Plus all the trivial things in life...his mother...

He left me and went abroad with another man."

Qin Ke felt a little surprised that a big shot like Li Shikun would actually talk about these personal and disgraceful past events to a junior whom he met for the first time?

He knew he shouldn't speak at this time, so he listened silently.

Seeing that Qin Ke knew how to advance and retreat, Li Shikun's eyes flashed with approval, but it was quickly replaced by sadness and self-blame:

"This is all in the past, and I won't be afraid of your jokes if I tell you about it. That incident hit me hard. I worked hard to become famous and make a lot of money, so I flew around the world to participate in various concerts and

There were only a few games at home all year round... As for Xiangxue, I couldn't take care of it at all at that time, so I could only send him to boarding school in an elementary school. A few years later, I became famous as I wished, and my life was comfortable, but Xiangxue

His personality has completely changed. He doesn't like to talk and hates music extremely..."

"After Xiangxue finished elementary school, he didn't want to interact with others at all. He only liked doing science questions and his personality became more and more stubborn. I took him to see many famous psychiatrists and forced him to take medicine.

After that, it got worse and worse. He even went on a hunger strike and didn't talk to me for a year. Later, I really had no choice but to follow the doctor's advice and let him go. He liked to do the questions, so I tried my best.

I tried to satisfy him as much as possible, but he didn’t like to interact with others, so I told his class teacher to ask his classmates not to disturb him. This is how Xiangxue grew up. Alas, it’s me, the father, who failed to do his best as a father.

Responsibility."

Only then did Qin Ke understand the reason why Li Xiangxue was somewhat stubborn and introverted today.

Childhood is the time when she needs the company of her family the most. Li Xiangxue is different from Ning Qingyun. Ning Qingyun at least knows that her parents love her, and she also knows where her parents are and what they are doing. She also has a smart and upright grandma by her side.

Li Xiangxue was "thrown" directly into the school. For him, it was probably equivalent to being "abandoned", right?

In such an environment, it is a miracle that Li Xiangxue is just an awkward and stubborn personality, addicted to science, and has not grown into a playboy who bullies men and dominates women.

Seeing Li Shikun's sad face, Qin Ke politely comforted him: "Uncle Li, Xiang Xue is doing very well now, and his academic performance is also top-notch. He can be ranked among the top ten in the class, but he is a bit behind in liberal arts, otherwise he would be ranked in the top.

5. He can now chat with his classmates, eat together, and play cards together. You don’t have to blame yourself too much. And I also heard that you rarely go out to perform in recent years and instead engage in music education.

It should also be to spend more time with Xiang Xue, right?"

Li Shikun nodded and looked at Qin Ke with sigh: "Qin Ke, although it's just the first time I've met you, I trust your character very much. I also have a good relationship with Wen Jianzhao, the principal of your high school.

My friend, I have heard a lot about you from him, and I know that you are warm-hearted and righteous, and Xiangxue regards you as half teacher and half friend, and is only willing to listen to your words, so I am shameless enough to ask you."

"You say."

This elder in the music industry was hesitant in a rare moment, and after a while he spoke with some difficulty:

"I...I recently wanted to find a new mother for Xiangxue, but when I asked Xiangxue for his opinion, he said nothing, neither objecting nor agreeing. Alas, you also know his character, a boring gourd, what the hell.

He keeps everything in his heart, and his personality is a bit stubborn. I'm afraid that he will do something extreme, so I would like to ask you to help find out what he says. If he really objects, I will never get married again in this life."

Qin Ke finally understood Li Shikun's purpose and was surprised.

However, Qin Ke's nose couldn't help but feel a little sore when he saw a big shot like Li Shikun with a humble and pleading look on his face.

I pity all the parents in the world.

If he didn't care too much about his son, how could he be willing to tell the embarrassing past in front of a junior like himself, and still bow his head and beg like this?

Qin Ke thought for a while and said seriously: "Uncle Li, I can help you ask Xiang Xue about this matter, but I will not interfere with his decision or give too many opinions. Xiang Xue is nineteen years old this year.

He is already an adult and has the right to make his own choices."

"That's enough. Thank you very much." Seeing Qin Ke respecting his son so much, Li Shikun felt that his son was a good friend. He stretched out his hand and shook Qin Ke's solemn hand again:
