Probably because it was rare to see such a serious look on the carefree Qin Ke, and because he had a week-long psychological buffer, Ning Qingyun was not too angry. He just lowered his head again and said softly "Yeah"

.

But her little hands subconsciously clenched her schoolbag tightly, as if she wanted to protect the notebook that she regarded as her spiritual pillar.

Qin Ke has never been in love, but he knows that he must not let the silence continue at this time, otherwise it will become a barrier between the two.

He asked nonchalantly: "By the way, school committee, are your parents on a business trip? Do you want to send a message to your family to say good news? After all, you did very well in the exam this time."

He seemed to be thinking of himself and took Ning Qingyun's "um" as "it doesn't matter." He was very thick-skinned, but the effect was very good. Ning Qingyun took the bait, looked up at him angrily, and then lowered his eyes.

He shook his head slightly.

"They are very busy, and they are engaged in scientific research work that needs to be kept secret by the country. They can hardly touch mobile phones. Moreover, the results of the Mathematical Olympiad preliminary round are nothing to them. Even if they saw the message I sent,

Just say oh, I won’t take it to heart.”

As soon as he heard Ning Qingyun speak, Qin Ke knew that the matter of peeking into the girl's notebook was over, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It's just that Ning Qingyun's side face was clearly expressionless at this time, but it also revealed an indescribable loneliness, which made Qin Ke feel a little distressed.

"Have they always been like this?"

"When I was about eight years old, they were entrusted with important responsibilities by the country. Basically, they rarely went home once a year. Occasionally they would chat with me via video chat on holidays. The last time they went home was three years ago.

"

Qin Ke has been very close to his parents since he was a child, and it is difficult to accept such a family relationship. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you blame them?"

Ning Qingyun shook his head: "When I was a child, I resented them a little, but then I lost it when I grew up. The research work they are engaged in is sacred and great. If it really produces results, it will be of great benefit to the country and even mankind.

, how can I blame them?”

If you really have no complaints, why would you use words like "how could"?

But Qin Ke did not dwell on this issue and instead asked: "Do you miss them very much?"

Ning Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Every time they chat with me, they encourage me to study hard, so when I miss them, I study hard."

Qin Ke remembered Ning Qingyun's words in the notebook and basically understood what Ning Qingyun was thinking.

Ning Qingyun's parents were experts in major national scientific research projects and could not easily leave the laboratory, let alone use their mobile phones.

What's more, they seem to be the kind of people who are focused on their work, and they obviously lack care for their daughters.

Ning Qingyun is not the kind of girl who is rebellious and hates her parents if they don't accompany her. On the contrary, she is very sensible and knows that her parents are busy with important matters.

So she turned her longing into the motivation to study. On the one hand, she wanted to attract the attention of her parents through excellent results. On the other hand, she also thought that one day, she could reach a level comparable to her parents and stand beside them.

Considering that Ning Qingyun doesn't like to express her inner emotions and is somewhat stubborn and aggressive, I'm afraid that my guess is very close to the truth.

This is such a silly, adorable and heart-warming girl.

Qin Ke thought for a while and asked: "What if you get a good ranking in the provincial competition or the national competition? They will see it and contact you, right?"

"Probably, if they can get a good ranking in the national competition, they will pay attention to it, right?" Ning Qingyun's tone was a little uncertain.

Qin Ke didn't care about this: "Then let's go to the national competition together, school committee."

"Um?"

Ning Qingyun raised her head, and her clear eyes fell on Qin Ke with surprise.

Qin Ke smiled and showed a bright smile: "Since they can't see it until the national competition level, then I will take you to the national competition and continue to win first and second place together!"

Then he raised his palms: "We have reached an agreement to go to the provincial competition together. Let's make another agreement. We will go to the national competition together and achieve the best results together!"

Ning Qingyun bit her red lips: "How can it be so easy to enter the national competition...I...I don't have much confidence."

"I said, I will take you there."

Qin Ke still raised his palms, and his tone was confident but arrogant.

Ning Qingyun looked at him quietly for a while, then said: "You look a bit silly...but..."

At this point, the girl suddenly laughed, then stretched out her white hand and gave Qin Ke a hard slap: "I still beg you, please let me enter the national competition and achieve the best results!"

Her smile is like a growing flower, blooming a little slowly, but so natural, so cheerful, so beautiful, and so wanton.

This was the first time Qin Ke saw Ning Qingyun's smile like the bright sunshine, and the lingering loneliness around her seemed to have disappeared.

Looking at the girl sitting next to him, putting down her mask in front of him, smiling wantonly, Qin Ke understood for the first time what the feeling of "pounding heart" mentioned in the Chinese textbook was.
