Chapter 78 Ling Xuan's Heart Knot, Moonlight Tower
In the end, Jiang Fuyue refused.
Xu Kaiqing didn't understand.
She only replied: I am still young and the future has unlimited possibilities.
But Q University and scientific research are not the only way.
Xu Kaiqing respected her decision (he dared not disrespect it) and promised that the letter of recommendation would be kept for her forever. If Jiang Fuyue was willing one day, the door of the School of Physics at Q University would always be open to her.
In addition, Jiang Fuyue also asked him to keep his identity confidential, especially not to tell Xie Dingyuan.
Xu Kaiqing was slightly surprised.
[Xu]: Do you know the boy from the Xie family?
【I send my sorrowful heart】: Unfamiliar.
[Xu]: Is there a feud?
【I send my sorrowful heart】：Yeah.
Xu Kaiqing understood.
Here, the chat ended and both of them logged off.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Dingyuan called. The old man said "Hey" and answered the call.
The other end started with a series of warm inquiries, displaying the thoughtfulness and consideration of a junior to the fullest: "...you'll get used to it. Did you find out from that student where 'Chou' is?"
Xu Kaiqing's old eyes flickered slightly, and then he sighed in a deep voice: "I don't know the exact whereabouts, but it's not that I haven't gained anything."
Half truths and half lies are the easiest to gain trust.
"Oh?" the voice on the other end was steady. "What do you mean?"
Xu Kaiqing: "After she bought those old books, she sold them to a young man."
Young people? Xie Dingyuan raised an eyebrow.
"Judging from his age, he's probably not 'Chou'. If we want to continue investigating, we must find that young man."
The other end grasped the key point: "Surveillance at the transaction location."
With the video and some connections, as long as the person is still in Linhuai, it will not be difficult to find him.
Xu Kaiqing sighed again: "I went to check it out. It's a solitary street. There are no surveillance cameras installed."
Being alone on the street means that it is impossible to retrieve video footage from the opposite side or the surrounding areas.
So, we've reached a dead end?
"A Yuan, thank you for your trouble these past two days. I will take care of the next things."
Xie Dingyuan replied, "No trouble," and said he could help look for it.
"There's no need for that. It's a private matter between him and me. I heard from Lao Shen that you're preparing an SCI paper recently, and the experiment is at a critical juncture. Don't be distracted."
Having said that, Xie Dingyuan couldn't force it.
But he always felt that things were not that simple, and it was even vaguely related to Jiang Fuyue...
"A-choo!"
"Sister, do you have a cold?" Jiang Xiaodi ran to the living room and quickly brought in a cup of warm water.
Jiang Fuyue rubbed her nose. This was the Nth time she sneezed tonight.
"Thank you." She took the cup and took two sips.
Jiang Xiaodi looked at her with bright eyes.
Jiang Fuyue understood what he meant and raised her hand to rub the top of his head, with gentle force and a warm touch.
The little boy lowered his head shyly, his eyelashes trembling, and his cheeks turned pink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Mm, so cute.
…
The next day Jiang Fuyue attended classes as usual.
Meng Zhijian was very curious about what she talked about with Xu Kaiqing yesterday, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so he looked at Jiang Fuyue several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
However, the latter ignored him.
After the physics competition training ended, Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan returned to the Olympiad class and attended classes as usual.
Xu Jing seemed to want to make up for all the classes they had missed, and he stuffed a pile of test papers into their hands as if they were free.
Jiang Fuyue didn't care. It was not a burden to her. On the contrary, she could find fun in the sea of questions.
But Ling Xuan was not so relaxed.
He prided himself on being smart. Before Jiang Fuyue's rise to prominence, he was the unshakable number one in his second year of high school, the epitome of a "top student".
Therefore, when it comes to studying, no matter what subject, even sports, he can handle it with ease.
But Jiang Fuyue's rapid rise completely changed everything.
He went from first to second, and although everyone continued to call him a "nerd", Jiang Fuyue was called a "god of study"!
A difference of one word can often make a world of difference.
No matter how great a top student is, he is still a "human", but a genius is a "god"!
Ling Xuan gradually felt the pressure, and the competitive factor in his blood was completely aroused. He began to secretly compete with Jiang Fuyue.
She participated in two competitions at the same time, so he also applied to return to the physics competition class.
If she could hand in the paper early, then he would have to speed up and race against time.
She was 100% correct, so he also required himself not to make any mistakes.
However, after repeated comparisons, Ling Xuan was frustrated again and again, and fell into a vicious circle called "Jiang Fuyue".
Jiang Fuyue finished the same test paper much earlier than him.
In the same amount of time, Jiang Fuyue's accuracy rate was more than twice as high as his.
Even in the initial physics competition, which he was quite confident of, he was ultimately defeated by Jiang Fuyue by 4 points.
Ling Xuan was depressed for two whole days.
He couldn't figure out what was going on in Jiang Fuyue's brain, and he couldn't understand why he cared so much.
He didn't have to be first, but he just couldn't tolerate Jiang Fuyue.
Why?
Suddenly, an image flashed through his mind: the girl holding a love letter and handing it to him, with her brows lowered and her eyelashes trembling.
The girl's shy black eyes turned hard and cold as she looked at him as if she were a stranger. Her red lips parted as she spoke word for word: "It's just a bet. I didn't expect you to actually believe it?"
It turned out that her confession to him was just a bet.
Ling Xuan took a deep breath, and his wandering thoughts slowly came together.
He raised his hand to cover his chest, and in a trance he heard a voice coming from the depths of his consciousness -
"You're just unwilling to accept it."
But the voice did not tell him, was it because he was unwilling to lose the top spot in the grade, or was it because he was unwilling to accept Jiang Fuyue’s joking confession?
If it was the former, he could have tried his best to regain the first place.
But if it is the latter, what should he do?
Well, Jiang Fuyue should pay the price for humiliating him.
But... at what cost?
Let her write another confession letter, and show her nervous and shy look to herself, turning this confession that was used as a bet into a real confession!
Then……
He nodded and agreed to her request, and they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.
The moment this thought came to his mind, Ling Xuan was stunned. He couldn't believe that he would actually have such a fantasy.
The sudden shock and astonishment made him stand there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
In the silence, he heard his own heartbeat like thunder, thump thump...
"Axuan?" Zhou Qin's concerned voice came.
Ling Xuan suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes still hesitant: "...Mom."
"Why are you sweating all over?" Zhou Qin touched his neck and couldn't help frowning.
Ling Xuan moved aside and said, "It's okay, it's just a little hot."
Zhou Qin paused, then smiled and retracted her hand: "Go down, the teacher is here."
"good."
He has a dedicated team of tutors, and today he's supposed to be taking physics classes...
At night, the sound of a car engine was heard from the gate.
Zhou Qin, who was originally sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, immediately stood up, straightened her hair, then lowered her head to check her clothes. After making sure that there was no problem, she walked to the entrance, raised a gentle smile, and greeted her husband who came home late.
Ling Qingzhou was on the phone, and handed the briefcase to Zhou Qin. He then changed into the slippers she had prepared, and walked in while talking, with anger hidden in his words.
"No matter how much Yi gives, I will donate double. No. 1 Middle School's science and technology building must be called 'Mingyue Building'. Do you understand?!"
Zhou Qin, who was following behind her husband, suddenly froze in laughter when she heard the words "Mingyue Tower" and her rosy face turned pale.
