Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 378 - 134: Keen on Mathematics and Aspiring High Goals_3

Xia Keke suddenly didn’t know how to evaluate Qiao Yu.

Before, when everyone was in the same school, Qiao Yu was a real person that you could see and touch, so tangible.

Now, every piece of news she hears about Qiao Yu makes that once-familiar man more and more abstract.

After all, the things she’s heard about him are quite far removed from ordinary people...

Even just getting into Huaqing or Yanbei, for ninety-nine percent of people, it’s something so unattainable.

Qiao Xi wanted to say something, but her phone already chimed with a message.

So Qiao Xi just smiled at Xia Keke, then clicked through on WeChat’s contact list.

Soon, the phone gave a crisp sound again, and a new video appeared in her chat history with Lan Jie.

That good guy was indeed very straightforward.

Qiao Xi didn’t immediately open the video but said "thank you" before gently lifting her hand to pull Xia Keke closer, her fair finger then clicked on the video.

"According to our station’s reporter from France Paris, the sixteen-year-old Huaxia genius Qiao Yu has made waves abroad. At the World Mathematicians Algebraic Geometry Conference in Paris, France..."

Not only did his name make it to the seven o’clock news, but there was even a video of the conference. The video lasted one minute and thirty-three seconds, with 51 seconds focused on Qiao Yu on stage.

Yes, after watching it once, the two women had noted down all these details.

"Aunt Qiao, quickly send me this video, I want to show it to my dad and mom."

Qiao Xi smiled, casually forwarding the video to Xia Keke.

Although Qiao Xi felt it might not be necessary, since Lan Jie sent her the video, it meant young people could easily find similar videos online. So she didn’t bother saying anything.

But when someone wishes to do something and there’s no reason or means to stop them, it’s better to go with the flow.

At least by sending it over, Xia Keke can save time by not having to find it herself.

"Dad, look, Qiao Yu got on the seven o’clock news!"

"Mom, Qiao Yu got on the seven o’clock news!"

After sending this to her parents, Xia Keke wasn’t satisfied and opened her junior high classmates group...

"Everyone, look, Qiao Yu got on the seven o’clock news!"

After posting it, Xia Keke still felt unsatisfied and opened her family group "Happy Family".

"Keke, don’t make a fuss..."

"Aunt Qiao, this isn’t making a fuss, no one from our family has ever been on the seven o’clock news, showing it off to everyone isn’t a big deal." After speaking, the girl had quickly finished the operation.

She actually still felt it wasn’t enough...

But there was no choice, as she didn’t have many people on her WeChat.

Fortunately, even though Old Xia’s WeChat was quiet, her mom had already replied to the message.

"Wow, Qiao Yu is amazing, you have to study hard too!"

"Don’t worry! I’m aiming for Yanbei!"

At this moment, Qiao Xi had already put down her phone, silently watching Xia Keke excitedly operate on WeChat.

Until the girl stopped, she softly said: "Alright, start reading and studying now."

"Aunt Qiao, why do you seem not excited at all?" Xia Keke put down her phone helplessly, couldn’t help but ask as she picked up her book.

Qiao Xi smiled gently, answering softly: "Who says I’m not excited? I’m also very excited! But being excited can’t make that cheeky boy appear suddenly, right? So I also have to make the most of my time to study, striving to get to Beijing sooner and then stay by that cheeky boy’s side.

So in the future, when I get excited, I can tug at his ear anytime and give him a good talking-to. Keke, we might get moved by many things in the future, be proud of the achievements of those around us, and that’s normal. But what after the excitement?

When you reach my age, you’ll realize that the most beautiful emotion in the world isn’t the fleeting excitement, nor the brief pride, but the lasting understanding and companionship. Just as Qiao Yu won’t stop being my son because he got on the seven o’clock news once.

Besides, you don’t need to be too excited right now. That cheeky boy surely hasn’t found the time yet, just wait for it. He’ll definitely call me to brag before ten o’clock. I’ll praise him a little, but also ensure he doesn’t get too cocky."

"Phew..." Xia Keke nodded heavily, her eyes still betraying her hopeful mood.

Probably couldn’t wait to hear Qiao Yu’s voice?

Qiao Xi could understand, but said nothing, just kept smiling and picked up the paper and pen in front of her.

Indeed, the girl opposite softly said: "Auntie, I know if Qiao Yu calls later, he’ll definitely have a lot to say to you, but can I talk to him for five minutes first, then I’ll go home and leave the time to you two."

"Sure, even ten minutes is fine."

"No need, five minutes is enough!"

"Alright, do your exercises." Qiao Xi said with a smile.

Hmm... Although Qiao Xi wasn’t sure if Qiao Yu and Xia Keke could be together in the future, this feeling of nurturing a daughter-in-law seemed pretty nice.

In the blink of an eye, the two little ones had become two grown-ups.

Then the image of Qiao Yu on stage with a confident smile during his speech from the news floated back in the woman’s mind. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Heh... that kid is probably showing off right now?

Cheeky boy!

...

The friend group that Qiao Yu created was also bustling at this moment.

Unlike usual, this time the excitement was initiated by Yu Wei, who usually talks the least.
