This time, a total of seven students from Yingyuan Private High School qualified for the finals of the National New Concept Essay Contest. Except for one cute girl who is a freshman in high school, the rest are all students in the second and third grades of high school.

Among them, the science class of Class 3, Grade 3, accounted for three-sevenths of the students - in addition to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, Ning Qingyun's roommate and friend Li Lin also stepped on the line and qualified for the finals.

In the entire team of seven, Qin Ke is the only boy, and the rest are all girls.

Because of this, in addition to He Qiongfen, the Chinese language team leader of the third grade of high school, Wei Wenping, the Chinese teacher and head teacher of the third grade of high school, also served as the instructor and accompanied everyone to Chenghai City.

Along the way, Qin Ke paid attention to maintaining a polite and non-awkward distance from other girls. He also took the initiative to hold Ning Qingyun's little hand and help her carry her luggage, which made Xiao Baicai feel a little shy despite being happy.

, her beautiful eyes glanced at the class teacher Wei Wenping who was walking with her from time to time.

Fortunately, Wei Wenping acted as if she didn't see it and never interfered in the slightest with the intimate behavior between Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

So Ning Qingyun slowly felt relieved. Facing the envious looks of other girls, she just smiled shyly and always held Qin Ke's hand. Even when flying, she rested her head on Qin Ke's head as before.

rest on your shoulders.

After a long journey, everyone arrived at Chenghai City.

Chenghai City is the top big city in Xia Kingdom after Beijing. It is extremely prosperous, which makes Yingyuan High School and the group from Yuanzhou, a second-tier provincial capital city, quite new. If it weren't for the tight schedule, several girls who were chattering would have planned to go to the Oriental Pearl Tower.

The tower, Disneyland, and the Bund were played.

After resting for half a day and one night in the hotel, early the next morning, two teachers, He Qiongfen and Wei Wenping, led the team to the examination room to get familiar with the environment, and then led the team back to the hotel. Considering the unfamiliarity of the place and the responsibility of

The two teachers did not allow the students to leave privately, and gathered everyone together to write an 800-word essay to warm up and maintain their condition.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, it is "free time".

The so-called "free activities" are when a few girls get together to play cards and small games. Qin Ke originally didn't want to join in, but all the girls warmly invited him. Qin Ke also thought that with him here, he would be more able to participate.

Acting as a lubricant to help Ning Qingyun expand her social circle, she nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, everyone played cards of "Fighting Landlords". Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun easily won seven or eight games in a row, which made all the girls collapse. Li Lin did not dare to "attack" Qin Ke, so she shook Ning Qingyun.

The arm asks for "the secret".

Ning Qingyun looked at Qin Ke, with a hint of pride in her eyes. She pursed her lips and chuckled: "He taught me how to play Landlord. The skills include card counting, card counting, card guessing, card splitting, and card defense.

Pass cards, top cards... Let’s talk about card recording first. This is the easiest. As long as you remember what cards you have in your hand and what cards others have played, you can easily guess what cards are left, and then analyze the cards played by others.

By following the rules, you can know what cards the opponent is playing and whether there are bombs..."

Li Lin's eyes widened: "Wait a minute, Qingjun, you can't really remember all the cards, can you?"

Ning Qingyun said unexpectedly: "Yes, isn't this the most basic?"

All the girls were autistic. One fat girl sighed bitterly: "Playing cards with two IMO champions, how could we make such a stupid decision?"

Li Lin proposed to play Werewolf again, and the girls responded. It turned out to be a "case solving show" for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Especially Qin Ke, he could basically point out who was a werewolf after two rounds of voting, and he pretended to be a werewolf.

When he was a werewolf, basically none of the good guys could escape, and they were all manipulated by him. He voted out the good guys, including Ning Qingyun, without mercy.

A little girl covered her face and said: "No matter how you play Werewolf, I can feel the huge IQ gap..."

However, the other girls "condemned" Qin Ke one after another, accusing him of misleading everyone in voting for his girlfriend in the first round and being "not considerate at all". They also collectively comforted Ning Qingyun.

What Qin Ke wanted was the effect of "having the same hatred as the enemy". He smiled arrogantly and said: "Ruthless and ruthless, this is the basic quality of playing games. Qingyun is the strongest. If you don't kill me, I will be killed by her!"

"

The girls were even more indignant. In the next game, they tried their best to protect Ning Qingyun and specifically targeted Qin Ke. Qin Ke deliberately showed a small flaw and was immediately "slaughtered" by the girls, but Qin Ke refused to admit defeat.

, continued to clamor, which aroused the excitement among the girls.

After several rounds of being focused on, Qin Ke finally raised his hands and surrendered in "embarrassment": "Okay, I admit defeat, I surrender, I don't dare anymore, you play, I read next to you, this does not count as breaking away from the group activities,

I won’t bother you either.”

A group of girls worked together and finally suppressed the arrogant and powerful "big devil". They all happily high-fived each other and congratulated each other. They became obviously closer to each other, especially the junior high school girls who were in the first and second grades of high school. They turned out to be somewhat respectful of Ning Qingyun.

At this time, we were all talking and laughing with her, and we were very close to her.

Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and looked at Qin Ke, her eyes full of tenderness.

If others couldn't see it, how could she not know Qin Ke's intentions? On the one hand, this bad guy deliberately distanced himself from other girls, and on the other hand, he wanted to create opportunities so that she could get along more harmoniously with other girls.

The girls did not play Werewolf. Someone suggested playing Idiom Solitaire, which would be helpful for tomorrow’s essay final and could also activate their thinking. Several girls agreed and started playing together, creating a lively atmosphere.

Qin Ke just smiled softly, took out a small notebook, and sat on a table not far away to write and draw.

During the break, Li Lin curiously went over and took a look at the contents above. They were all dizzyingly complicated mathematical symbols. She couldn't help but ask Ning Qingyun: "Qingyun, what is Brother Ke studying? Spells?"

"I can't understand it either. I just know that he is studying the Riemann Hypothesis."

"What is the Riemann Hypothesis?" a liberal arts girl asked in confusion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ning Qingyun blinked: "Just a conjecture in number theory."

"Oh." Several girls didn't know what number theory was, and they didn't realize it.

Li Lin, on the other hand, came from a science class and had a wider knowledge of mathematics. She secretly asked Ning Qingyun: "Is the Riemann Hypothesis a world problem similar to Goldbach's Hypothesis?"

Ning Qingyun nodded.

Li Lin chuckled softly and said: "Okay... I know why you didn't explain in detail. If you explained clearly, I'm afraid those girls would look at Qin Ke with little red hearts."

Ning Qingyun's pretty face turned red when her little thoughts were revealed.

Girls will have a natural sense of admiration for boys who are good at science and handsome. Even Ning Qingyun herself is no exception, let alone other girls? Ning Qingyun doesn’t want to add love rivals to herself - although she knows that there are many big boys in school now.

Some girls have a crush on their boyfriends.

Next, the girls played ancient poetry again and discussed new clothes and cosmetics in fashion magazines. Qin Ke didn't participate, but Ning Qingyun's relationship with several girls became more and more harmonious. Gao

The girls in the first and second grade of high school call her "Senior Sister Ning" very affectionately.

Seeing that Ning Qingyun slowly has more friends, Qin Ke couldn't help but smile. He still hopes to see his little cabbage have more friends and more laughter, so that this girl, who has been lonely since she was a child, can

In addition to love, you can also gain true friendship.

…

On March 18, the National New Concept Essay Contest officially started at 9 a.m. at the most famous Chenghai Middle School in Chenghai City.

The topic is the same as in previous years. There are two choices. Candidates can choose one of the topics to write on.

For this year's finals, the first topic is "Why do people always look up at the stars", and the second topic is "World Problems". There is no restriction on the genre, and the topic is self-made.

Qin Ke had been under the guidance of Ning Qingyun for more than half a month, and the results of the special training of writing an essay every day were evident. He soon decided to write on the second topic.

Title: "Summer Night Starry Sky and World Problems".

It begins like this:

"I was born in a small town in the countryside. I still remember the clear and high summer sky, the bright moon hanging in the sky, the cats and dogs catching fireflies in the grass, and the frogs croaking in the pond. At this time, our family

They would come to the town square to enjoy the cool air, watch the stars in the distance, and listen to the adults talk about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the story of Chang'e flying to the moon."

"At that time, I asked my parents how many stars there were in the sky? My dad smiled and said, I don't know. This is probably a world-class problem."

“This was my first exposure to the concept of ‘world problems’.”

"As I got older, my love for mathematics gradually came into contact with more world problems that are highly regarded by academic circles, such as Goldbach's conjecture, NP-complete problem, Hodge's conjecture, Poincaré's conjecture, Riemann hypothesis, Yang-

Mills' existence and mass gap, N-S equation, BSD conjecture..."

Qin Ke introduces the theme from the little things in his childhood, starts from the real world-class mathematical problems, and uses a few difficult and difficult to understand mathematical terms to explain why these mathematical problems are full of charm and "incomprehensible".

"The beauty of rules", he mentioned the "Riemann Hypothesis" that he is working hard to study, and talked about Mr. Chen's difficulty and no regrets in proving "1 2", and then extended it to countless mathematicians who "seem to have no practical significance"

"Mathematical problems have been devoted to a lifetime of energy. This is mankind's never-ending exploration of the truth and the eternal pursuit of the "beauty of mathematics."

Then he turned to the food crisis, fresh water crisis and other world problems that threaten human survival. He then talked about "not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality, not worrying about poverty but worrying about insecurity", pointing out that "under a fair distribution system

"Getting one's due share" is the original spiritual pursuit of mankind around the world and the key to reducing war.

Finally, I respond to the beginning, returning the sublimated spirit to the most simple and touching family love.

"Nowadays, I spend more and more time away from home and less and less time at home, but every time I see the starry sky above my head, I remember the summer nights when I was a child and looked at the starry sky, and I remember what my parents said after saying

After 'world-class problem', another sentence was added - 'The beauty of the starry sky lies in its tolerance, its ability to accommodate stars of different sizes and brightness, and the beauty of the stars lies in its gratitude, which has the ability to bloom and show itself.

Opportunities', it is these words that allow me to maintain a tolerant and grateful attitude towards success and failure, and towards the people and things around me while pursuing solutions to the world's problems."

"I am grateful for success, it makes me more confident; I am grateful for failure, it makes me stronger, and I am even more grateful to you."

"The world is like a tide and there is a huge sea of ​​people, but you and I can always be by my side. This is a better thing than solving any problem in the world."

The entire article closely follows the theme of "world problems", and through scientists' tireless exploration of these practical or nihilistic solutions to world problems, it expresses that "only when you have a bright mind, a fair mind, a tolerant mind, and a beautiful heart can you feel

The concept of "seeing the beauty of life and feeling the happiness and strength that comes from the spiritual level".

Qin Ke is very self-aware. Even though his talent in liberal arts is no less than that of Ning Qingyun, he lacks the delicate and soft mind of a girl. When it comes to the beauty of writing, he is definitely not as good as Ning Qingyun, and maybe even not.

He was not as good as many girls who participated in the finals this time, so when writing the essay, he used his strengths from beginning to end - writing with vision and mind.

In Ning Qingyun’s words, it means returning to the most sincere emotions with the broadest vision and broadest mind.

This essay is written along this line of thinking.

After writing, I checked it over and found that the handwriting was neat and tidy, without any typos, and the rhetorical techniques such as parallelism, analogy, quotation, etc. were used appropriately.

Qin Ke was very satisfied and was the first to hand in the paper and leave.
