The 15-year-old can understand how she feels despite the fact that she never said anything to him about it.
Obviously, he wasn't the only one who noticed it. He did the same to her.
He watched her and watched her secretly.
It was impossible for him not to be moved by it.
There were no words that could describe her feelings and emotions at that moment.
It actually touched him, but it was much more complicated than that.
It reminded Wei Zhiqian the first time the two of them met.
At that time, he never thought that their relationship would be meaningful and would eventually become something so important in his life.
In the midst of feeling all these emotions, Wei Zhiqian realized that all the time he spent with Tan Mo was not in vain.
It was then that Wei Zhiqian noticed that a team from Beijing University and Professor Gu were waiting for Tan Mo to return to Beijing University.
“Why don't you go back to school now? Others are waiting for you.”
“OK...” Tan Mo didn't really want to leave Wei Zhiqian, but he still waved his hand and ran back to his team.
Wei Zhiqian smiled and waved as well, before walking out with the other spectators.
Tan Mo followed his schoolmate back to the bus and returned to Beijing University.

These students had no idea that on the way home, President Mu of Beijing University would call President Shi of Tsinghua University.
“Shi, how are you?”
President Mu greeted him with a laugh as soon as the call was over. “Are you watching the Ancient Text Competition today?”
President Shi already knew what the purpose of the call was when he saw it from President Mu.
He had considered pretending not to watch the competition, but had quickly given up on the idea.
Even if he said that he wasn't watching and didn't know what the outcome would be, President Mu would just tell him everything in detail.
There was no way he would want to hear President Mu read out everything that had happened during the competition, which was very embarrassing for Tsinghua University.
In the end, President Shi decided to pretend not to care about the outcome. “Yes. Congratulations.”
SIGH!
President Mu waved his hand despite knowing that President Shi could not see him. “To be honest, my team is really mediocre. Wait, that's not the right word. It's just that most of them didn't have the chance to prove themselves because Tan Mo single-handedly kicked everyone off the stage.”
As Beijing University is one of Tsinghua University's greatest enemies, President Shi realizes that President Mu said it was only to upset him.
How could the president of one of the leading universities say things like kicking people off the stage…?
President Shi sighed to himself.
“We can't even estimate the potential of the other contestants right now. These juniors and seniors will probably criticize themselves for being brought in by freshmen. They should. That's what I'll tell them once they get back,” continued President Mu, not giving President Shi a chance to breathe.
“Now that I think about it, you almost made Tan Mo go to Tsinghua University, right? You're just out of luck because I'm chasing you too. As Usain Bolt suddenly entered the regional race, ha, ha, ha!” President Mu laughed very loudly.
In the end, he praised himself with the victory because he was the one who spent a lot of time and resources to recruit Tan Mo to his university. He was happy because he was smarter than his friends.
President Shi remained silent on the other end of the phone while the President of Beijing University continued, “Now I finally understand why everyone keeps saying that there is no need for two geniuses in one world.”
President Mu looked at his phone and clicked his tongue.
“Can he just handle this much? That's why I'm better than him,” he praises himself before hanging up the phone as well.

When the bus that Tan Mo was riding stopped in front of the Beijing University dormitory, they all realized that President Mu was personally waiting for them.
As soon as Professor Gu got off the bus, the president walked over and greeted him with a handshake. “Professor Gu, thank you for your hard work.”
The professor's lips twitched slightly, but he did not have the chance to say anything as the students also got off the bus.
The president shook each student's hand with a smile. “Good work out there.”
Tan Mo was the last person to get off the bus. When the president saw her, tears filled his eyes.
He grabbed Tan Mo's hand emotionally and shook it vigorously. “Tan Mo! Nice work! You are the pride of our university!”
“I just did my job as a student.” Tan Mo smiled.
“Good words! It says well!” The president can't stop smiling.
“No matter what you think, you deserve to be appreciated. I have made a flag with your name and the words, Pride of Beijing University, on it.”
Tan Mo looked at the president speechlessly. You don't have to go that far…
“Not only that,” continued the president, “you will also get prize money and an Extraordinary Student title Beijing University.”
This last honor is the most important, because it will help him a lot in the future.
“Tan Mo, as the one who led us to this victory, do you have anything else you want?” President Mu decided to add another gift because he was having the best day of his life. “I'll give you one thing as long as it's in my power.”
“You know?”
Tan Mo tilted his head. “There is something that may need your help..”.
“Oh?” He has piqued President Mu's interest.
He knew about the relationship between Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian. There was no need for him to ask others for help if he had such a connection.
Moreover, this was the first time he had asked for help from her.
When he tried to get her into university, he told her if she needed anything else that wasn't included in the contract, she would be able to add it as long as it made sense.
Despite such an alluring offer, Tan Mo did not ask for anything else.
It was then that President Mu knew that Tan Mo was not a greedy woman.
If he was, then he would never attract Wei Zhiqian's attention.
“I have three older brothers. One is a music major and the other is an art major. Is it possible for you to use your connections and introduce famous songwriters and producers to my second brother? Or do you know any famous artists?” Tan Mo timidly asked.
“If yes, can you introduce them to my third brother? Of course, one of them is enough. That would be very appreciated.”
Tan Mo quickly took the opportunity to help his brothers.
President Mu was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that it would be a request from the young lady.
A request that doesn't benefit him, but someone else…
The president had heard from Professor Gu and Professor Tang that the reason Tan Mo refused to change his major was because he wanted to take over his family business so that his brothers could be free from their duties to chasing their own dreams.
