The IMO competition consists of six questions, each question is worth seven points, with a total score of 42 points. 34 points is the gold medal line, 29 points is the silver medal line, and 23 points is the bronze medal line.
The Chinese team, including Cen Huaian, had three full marks, and the other three scored 40 points, 38 points, and 33 points, five gold medals and one silver medal.
The player who won the silver medal was the last boy selected. He sat next to Cen Huaian and sighed.
"How come it's just one point! Just one point!"
If he had one more point he would have won the gold medal, but he was just one point short, and his face was filled with reluctance and regret.
"God Cen, how did you get full marks on the test?"
Cen Huaian: "If you answer the questions correctly, you will pass the test."
Boy: …
Of course he also knew that he could get full marks if he answered the questions correctly, but the question was, how could he get them all right
Guan Yan and Qi Ming frowned at the same time when they watched the host on TV announce that the Chinese team had the highest total score in the IMO and won first place in the IMO International Mathematics Competition.
On TV, Cen Huaian stood at the front with an IMO gold medal around his neck, and the host asked him to smile.
Qi Ming covered his chest and suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost something, but he didn't know what.
"Mom, why do I feel uncomfortable watching him win the award?"
Guan Yan just felt that Cen Huaian was too outstanding. The more outstanding he was, the smaller the chance that her son would get close to him.
Guan Yan put her arm around Qi Ming's shoulders, hugged him and said, "That's because the person who started at the same starting line as you has now surpassed you and is even running further and further away. You feel like you will never catch up."
Qi Ming was stunned, and his face, which had always been heartless and only cared about having fun, suddenly showed sadness.
Guan Yan didn't say anything else. No matter how bad her son was, he was still her son. No matter how good someone else's son was, he was not her son.
Qi Ming's eyes were fixed on Cen Huaian's face on TV. The reporter kept asking, but Cen Huaian still didn't smile. He just looked at the camera indifferently. The reporter stopped talking.
Qi Ming felt as if that look was shooting straight into his heart through the camera, causing him to subconsciously avoid it.
When he looked up again, Cen Huaian and his teammates came down from the stage. Qi Ming's eyes followed Cen Huaian until he could no longer see him.
Cen Huaian didn't know that there were strangers who had been paying attention to him. Guan Yan and Qi Ming were strangers to him.
Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian were also watching the live broadcast.
Cen Zhengnian has not been busy recently. In April this year, the task of their laboratory was successfully completed. China also became the third country to enter the field of aerospace after M and F.
After this mission, China's aerospace industry began to cooperate with the international community, which also represented a new starting point.
After completing the task, Cen Zhengnian had a holiday, but he did not take it. He wanted to wait until Chu Xia and An An had time before taking a break. Then the family could go out for a walk together.
Chuxia also knew Cen Zhengnian's idea, so she arranged her own shifts to see how much rest time she could free up.
Cen Huaian's vacations are relatively fixed, that is, summer vacation and winter vacation. He had a competition at the beginning of this summer vacation, so Chuxia planned to wait until his competition was over before talking about these fun things.
When the scores and gold medal winners were announced on TV, Chu Xia was very nervous. She stared at the TV without blinking, holding Cen Zhengnian's hand tightly.
