Top-notch students from all over the country gathered in Nanjing to participate in the annual National Olympic Math Competition, this competition is related to everyone's future, if they get first place, they can be directly admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University, so everyone attaches great importance to it.
The competition between the two has always been a smokeless battlefield, and every point counts. Yang Pu lost to Xu Ning by just one point last time, and it's really hard to predict who will win or lose this time.
At the same time, a seminar where brain experts gathered on the other side was also being held in full swing. Originally, there was nothing to do with Tong Jing, but now that Yang's mother knew about it, Tong Jing had no choice but to go.
There are many things discussed in the seminar, but actually many of them are empty. Who would really give away their research results so generously to others, especially those experts who hold confidential medical research? It's impossible for them to share easily with others. In short, seminars are just for show, to get familiar with each other and make connections.
So Tong Jing's presence was absolutely unnecessary, even sitting there couldn't understand what they were discussing, finally endured these three hours, it's over.
She glanced at her watch and thought to herself that Pei Yang's competition should be over by now. He had said he would come find her after the competition, so it was about time to head back to the hotel.
Following Dr. Hu out of the venue, but not walking a few steps, Dr. Hu was stopped by other colleagues, seemingly wanting to discuss something, Tong Jing tactfully walked over to a bench and sat down, not disturbing Dr. Hu, just as Yang's mother also came over and sat beside her, flashing her a big, elegant smile.
Tong Jing also politely returned a smile, and sat quietly again. She only knew that this woman was the mother of the boy from yesterday, seemingly called Director Zhou or something like that. As for the rest, she didn't know and wasn't interested in knowing.
The atmosphere was awkward for a minute before Yang's mother finally spoke up, "Do you have some free time now?"
Tong Jing looked at Yang Mama with a puzzled expression, and Yang Mama smiled and continued to say, "If you have time, come with me to XX High School. Their competition should be over by now, and we can drive there just as they are coming out." The "they" in Yang Mama's words actually referred to her son Yang Pu, but Tong Jing thought the "they" referred to Bai Yang and Yang Pu.
Although it was unclear why Yang's mother wanted to call her up, she could go pick up Baiyang, and Tong Jing was willing to do so, nodding her head in agreement.
Everyone forgot to greet Dr. Hu and followed Yang's mother to XX High School, until halfway through, she suddenly remembered and sent a text message to tell Dr. Hu that she had something with Director Zhou.
Mrs. Yang had many questions to ask Tong Jun, but she knew that this girl seemed to have aphasia and couldn't speak even if asked questions, so she didn't ask anything on the way, first went to pick up Yang Pu, then waited for the two children to meet, and then explained what needed to be explained. She really wanted to ask why you looked down on my son.
The car stopped in front of XX High School gate, and there were only ten minutes left before the competition ended.
Yang Pu had actually finished the entire test paper, he put down his pen, raised his head, and his gaze passed over everyone until it reached Xu Ning's back in the first row.
She held the pen, but didn't move, it seemed that she should have finished the test paper too. Yang Pu pursed his lips, looking thoughtful. He knew that Xu Ning had never lost to him in competitions. If he had completed this test paper, then Xu Ning must have also completed this test paper. Was it because in her world there was only study and no love? That's why she was so excellent, so calm, and could reject everything like that. This morning when he saw her, he took the initiative to greet her, but she didn't even look at him, holding a book and deliberately walking far away, making him feel like a clown for a moment, playing a fool under the spotlight all day without getting any applause. Besides feeling lost and self-mocking, he really couldn't think of what other emotions he had now.
"Ding ding ding——" Along with the ringing of the bell, it also meant the end of the competition. After the test papers were collected, Yangpu tidied up everything on his desk and once again took the initiative to find Xu Ning. He wanted to make things clear, if Xu Ning told him this time that she didn't like him at all, he would respect her opinion and never bother her again, letting his unrequited love come to a thorough end.
"Xu Ning——" He chased after him, grabbing Xu Ning's arm, "I want to talk to you——" Looking at Xu Ning seriously and sincerely, our Yang Shuai Ge is really handsome at this moment. Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat when Yang Pu looked at him like that.
After a long pause, Xu Ning finally replied, "But I don't want to talk to you, please let go!" It was like an order, and also like he was stifling his breath.
Yang Pu wouldn't let go, he wanted to get to the bottom of things, and was also making a last bet with himself. He didn't care about the people coming and going around him, and dragged Xun Ning to the small playground of this school, all the way there, Xun Ning didn't shout or make a fuss, she disliked Yang Pu's three hearts and two intentions, he said he liked her but was ambiguous with other girls, yet she really wanted to hear what Yang Pu wanted to talk to her about.
Let go of Xu Ning's arm, Yang Pu rubbed his face hard with both hands, he was a bit hesitant, whether to ask or not, if Xu Ning really said she didn't like him, then should he really give up, thoroughly and completely give up.
"What do you want to talk about?" Xu Ning asked coldly, with a hint of interrogation.
Yang Pu calmed himself down and finally opened his mouth to ask, "I just want to ask you, do you like me? If not, I'll..." He stopped there, still unable to say the four words "decide to let go" because he couldn't bear to.
Xu Ning suddenly burst out laughing, "You go find another girl then, is that it? You think you're someone special, Yang Pu, that everyone in the world has to like you? How ridiculous! Don't ask me if I like you or not, first ask yourself who you really like!"
Yangpu's heart suddenly stopped, his mind went blank, his whole body felt icy cold, and he felt like his blood had stopped flowing. He stood there stupidly, his eyes unfocused.
It took him a long time to speak in a low, hoarse voice, "Yeah, it's really ridiculous. I was played by you and it's really fucking ridiculous. You don't like me at all, do you? That's good, I've decided to let go. I guarantee that from now on, I will never look for you again." The more he spoke, the less he could continue, feeling as if he had been hollowed out, with no strength left to speak.
Tong Jing searched for Bai Yang in the campus for half a day, but couldn't find him, feeling anxious. At this moment, he saw Yang Pu standing on the small playground. Yesterday, Bai Yang had told Tong Jing that Yang Pu was his best and most trusted friend, so when he saw Yang Pu, he assumed he must know where Bai Yang was. Without noticing Xu Ning standing in front of Yang Pu, Tong Jing ran over to find Yang Pu with full hope.
When she completely stopped behind Yang Pu, she realized that she seemed to have come at the wrong time. It wasn't just Yang Pu alone, but also a girl, and the atmosphere between these two was quite strange.
Xu Ning almost saw Tong Jing running towards them at a glance, she nodded as if she understood, her heart was filled with unbearable sadness and anger, even tears were about to burst out of her eyes, the feeling of being betrayed could no longer be restrained, it fiercely attacked her, as if she was a fish that had left the water, dying on the surface of the river, desperate, only despair remained.
