Upon hearing this, Shi Miao put away her phone, her eyes, which had been half-closed in a lazy manner, lifted up to look at him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Professor Huo, really, don't worry."
Huo Yudong coughed, touched the tip of his nose, and said, "Ah, okay."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone shouted, "The results are out!"
Everyone looked up at the LCD screen in the center of the hall.
Soon, the results of the final competition slowly scrolled across the screen.
First place: Hua Guo, Shi Miao, 200 points.
Second place, country M...
...
25th place, China, Qin Mingyue, 179 points.
...
Yu Sen jumped to his feet, his hands clenched into fists with excitement, and his eyes slightly red as he said, "Professor Huo, first place! We really won first place!"
Huo Yudong couldn't hide his excitement and joy, and couldn't help but pat the girl next to him on the shoulder, "Shi Miao, you're really amazing!"
Yu Sen nodded, calming his excitement slightly, and said with a smile, "Yes, Shi Miao, you have truly brought glory to the country!"
"Shi Miao, you're absolutely amazing! You're practically a monster!"
"Shi Miao, congratulations on getting first place."
The others also gathered around to offer their congratulations.
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the score on the big screen. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she suddenly felt that winning glory for the country was quite nice.
At this moment, Qin Mingyue, who was ignored by everyone, was clenching her fingertips tightly, her lips were pale, and a gloomy look was shrouded between her brows.
Even if you've prepared yourself mentally beforehand, you still can't accept the gap when you actually see it.
Fortunately, I did quite well on the exam this time, which helped me maintain my public image and silence those who doubted me online.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Mingyue finally felt a little better.
Soon, the news that Shi Miao had won first place in this year's International Physics Competition with a perfect score reached China, leaving everyone who had just recovered from yesterday's preliminary results speechless with shock.
In an instant, Shi Miao's name swept across the entire internet, and even the Tsinghua University forum was full of posts related to Shi Miao.
...
After the awards ceremony, everyone walked out of the building together.
Shi Miao stuffed the trophy into her bag, then looked up at Huo Yudong and the others, her clear black and white eyes sparkling with innocence, and asked, "Professor Huo, when are you going back?"
Huo Yudong said with a cheerful expression, "The plane leaves at four o'clock."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal when I get back to the capital."
Huo Yudong nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, when are you going back to the capital?"
He paused for a moment and then said, "Let's talk over there."
Seeing this, Shi Miao picked up her bag and followed Huo Yudong to the side, saying, "We should go back before school starts."
"Okay, let me know when you come back. My teacher wants to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, "Your teacher?"
"Yes, my teacher is the director of the Imperial Physics Research Institute, and I guess he wants you to get into the institute. But even if he doesn't, I'm still planning to recommend you. Shi Miao, are you interested?"
Shi Miao thought for a moment and said in a calm tone, "Professor Huo, let me think about it. The main problem is that I may not have that much time."
"It's nothing, it's not urgent, I was just mentioning it casually."
"Okay, I understand." Shi Miao raised her hand to lower the brim of her hat. "Then I'll be going now."
"OK."
Qin Mingyue bit her lip, glanced in the direction Shi Miao had left, walked to Huo Yudong's side, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, isn't Shi Miao coming back with us?"
Huo Yudong nodded, then said to Yu Sen and the others beside him, "Let's go too."
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly. She looked up and glanced in the direction Shi Miao had left. Suddenly, she saw something and hurriedly took out her phone to snap several photos.
She swiped her phone screen, looking at the photos she had just taken, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
"Mingyue, are you gone?" Huo Yudong called out.
"Ah, okay." Qin Mingyue smiled, put away her phone, and turned to leave.
...
On the other side, after saying goodbye to Huo Yudong, Shi Miao casually slung the backpack containing the trophy over her shoulder and walked to an SUV parked by the roadside.
As soon as she opened the car door, a tall figure suddenly lunged at her.
Shi Miao hadn't expected there to be someone in the back seat, and was caught off guard when she was suddenly pounced on.
A flower hugged a girl and complained, "Boss, waaaaah, you've been in M ​​continent for half a month and I only just found out! Am I the last one to find out? Don't you love me anymore?"
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly, and she said in a cool voice, "Do you want to die? Let go of me now."
Upon hearing this, the flower immediately let go of her hand and pouted in grievance.
Shi Miao's brow twitched. She tossed her backpack into the back seat, then walked past him and got into the car.
"Boss." Zhong Li coughed lightly and turned to look at her.
Shi Miao raised her chin slightly and glanced speechlessly at the flower that had sat down. "Why is he here too?"
Zhong Li touched the tip of her nose and said awkwardly, "As soon as he heard that you were going back to the organization, he cried and insisted on coming with me to pick you up. I couldn't refuse him, so I brought him along."
A flower came closer, its brow furrowed with hurt, and said softly, "Damn, boss, you're so heartless! They came all the way to pick you up, and you're just so cold to them."
Shi Miao clicked her tongue, looked at the man sitting next to her with a half-smile, and said casually, "If you say another word of nonsense, I'll pack you up and send you to the red-light district of R country tomorrow. I'm sure you'll become the top courtesan there very quickly."
Upon hearing this, the flower immediately sat up straight and then made a gesture as if zipping up its mouth.
"Pfft." Zhong Li, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shi Miao casually withdrew her gaze, slowly took out her phone, found a comfortable position, and opened the game.
...
After returning to her hotel room, Qin Mingyue immediately took out her phone, eagerly opened the photo album, and looked at the photos she had just taken again.
In the photo, Shi Miao is being held in the arms of a young man.
No wonder Shi Miao came to M Continent; it turns out she was having a secret rendezvous with another man behind Ji Yanchen's back.
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
She opened the phone book and found Ji Yanchen's mobile phone number.
She didn't have Ji Yanchen's WeChat; she had gotten his phone number from Xie Sizhou before.
Qin Mingyue hummed a little tune as she tapped on her phone screen, sending a text message to Ji Yanchen: "Master Chen, after the competition, I accidentally saw Shi Miao hugging a young man, and they even got into a car together."
After posting it, she also attached several photos that she had secretly taken.
