He was a genius boy.

The results of the exam were out, and Qiao Yi had unsurprisingly taken the top spot, leading the second-place student by a significant margin. Lin Yingshi was shocked when she saw the scores. Qiao Yi had nearly perfect scores in every subject, while she herself had worked hard and achieved a top-ten grade, but was still far behind Qiao Yi. Lin Yingshi realized for the first time that truly outstanding people were a combination of talent and hard work. She also deeply felt the truth of Einstein's classic quote: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, but that 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% sweat." It was then that she suddenly realized that Wang Rui's words were not an exaggeration.

Lin Yingshi and Wang Rui were walking home from school and they talked about the results of the exam. Wang Rui told Lin Yingshi that Qiao Yi's performance was nothing surprising. Qiao Yi was not only good at academics, but had also won gold medals in the National Youth Information Olympics, Science and Innovation Competitions, and Olympiad Mathematics competitions since primary school. What surprised Lin Yingshi even more was that the social networking website that was popular within the school was actually developed by Qiao Yi during his vacation time. ""Actually, Qiao Yi could have been directly admitted to the best schools in the country, but he voluntarily gave up the opportunity. Although I feel it's a pity, Qiao Yi must have had his reasons for doing so." It was then that Lin Ying noticed the admiration and joy in Wang Rui's eyes as she spoke, and perhaps the small doubts in her heart before no longer needed to be carefully inquired about, as the answer was already right in front of her.

At this moment, Lin Yingshi's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions. Besides her feelings for Qiao Yi, there was also a tinge of self-doubt. She silently made a resolution to one day become as outstanding as Qiao Yi and stand on equal footing with him.

Some people are born with a light that shines within them, and Qiao Yi was one such person. What made this young boy shine wasn't just his own excellence, but also his dazzling dream: using artificial intelligence to change the world.

In the early days of 1999, when most people were still unfamiliar with computers, Qiao Yi's parents bought him a computer at the age of eight. This small act became a huge turning point in his life. Qiao Yi developed a strong interest in computer programming and internet technology from that moment on. Although he started by imitating simple code, as time passed and he delved deeper into his studies, his programming skills gradually improved until he could independently develop social networking sites and app software.

Now Qiao Yi can be considered a geeky teenager, but he is different from other geeks. He is sunny, outgoing, and kind. He pays more attention to solving real-world problems in the process of innovation and creation. Qiao Yi's development of rehabilitation training software for cerebral palsy children is a typical example, in which he applied his technology to social welfare. In the future, Qiao Yi hopes to continue exploring new areas of technological application and make more contributions to promoting social progress.

The new semester had just begun, and gradually everyone learned about the sunny and handsome genius boy in school. Qiao Yi was like a beam of light, illuminating every corner he passed.
