"Why are you asking like that? Is there something special about today?"
Luo Yanqing was puzzled: "You know, I spend all day in the lab. Other than experimental data, it’s hard for me to think of anything else right now. Why don’t you tell me?"
Kang Li deliberately sounded dissatisfied: "Today is the day the gaokao results come out. Luo Yanqing, there’s a high school senior in our family, you know. During the gaokao days, you didn’t even call once. Now that Ruirui’s results are out, you still haven’t called home. I’m really disappointed in you, do you know that?"
"I was wrong! Xiao Li, I’m sorry, I really didn’t think of it. Please help me tell Luo Mingrui that I’m sorry."
Luo Yanqing felt a bit guilty for a moment, feeling he’d been neglectful, that he wasn’t a good father. When the kid was taking the gaokao, he hadn’t shown any concern. Now that the results were out, if his wife hadn’t called to let him know, he’d still be in the dark.
"If you want to apologize, you should say it yourself to Ruirui."
Kang Li gave a light snort and said, "Listen up: Ruirui’s gaokao score is just eight points short of a perfect score. And, not only is Ruirui the top scorer in North City, he’s the national top scorer. I’m planning to hold a banquet at a hotel, just a few tables. Do you have any objections?"
"None at all. Luo Mingrui deserves a celebration!"
Luo Yanqing said, "Luo Mingrui did really well; that’s his own hard work, but you’ve done so much too, Xiao Li. You’ve worked hard!"
Kang Li: "Why are you saying this? And you? Are you doing okay lately?"
Luo Yanqing: "I’m fine. You take care of yourself and don’t worry about me."
"There’s always more work to do, but don’t play games with your health."
"I know."
"Hold on a sec, I’ll call Ruirui over so you can talk to him."
As Kang Li spoke, she called Min Rui over: "Your dad’s on the phone."
Min Rui took Kang Li’s phone: "Dad!"
Luo Yanqing gave a soft "Mm" and said, "Your mom told me all about it. You did really well in the gaokao, and you’re the top scorer in the whole country. I’m proud of you, but you still have a long road ahead of you. Don’t lose yourself, and keep working hard."
"I will."
Min Rui replied.
Luo Yanqing: "You’ve grown up. At home, help your mom take care of Grandma, Grandpa, and your younger siblings. When something comes up, use your head, and if you can’t solve it, talk to your mom, or call me. Don’t bottle it up by yourself."
Min Rui: "Mm."
"Luo Mingrui... Before your gaokao, I didn’t manage to give you a call. That was my bad. I want to tell you now, I’m sorry. Now that you’ve done so well, as your father, I’m really happy... Luo Mingrui, you’re amazing!"
