Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 767 - 332 will never regret_2

Shen You’an looked at Liu Runxi. "Do you have any ideas?"

"Follow me." Liu Runxi led the two of them through the aisles of bookshelves, finally stopping in front of one.

Gu Bichen glanced at the rows of neatly arranged books and documents on the shelf. "These are all Professor Kong Liwen’s works."

Shen You’an looked at Liu Runxi—so earlier when he was at the search engine, he was looking up Kong Liwen. Just what does he know?

Liu Runxi pulled out an academic journal that had been carefully preserved. "This is a paper published by Professor Kong Liwen twenty years ago in the Journal of Physics."

"On the Effects of Space-time Curvature Induced by Negative Energy"

This paper was quite famous in the physics community, and it was this work that established Kong Liwen’s footing in the domestic physics field.

Shen You’an took it and flipped through.

Gu Bichen asked, "What does this have to do with Professor Yu?"

"The accident involving Professor Yu occurred during an experiment twenty years ago, and the publication date of this paper is exactly one month after the accident. Do you think that’s just a coincidence?"

Gu Bichen frowned, "That’s just your speculation—there’s no evidence."

Liu Runxi’s phone vibrated. He took it out; it was an email from overseas.

He showed the email content to Gu Bichen and Shen You’an. "I contacted Professor Migo’s research institute to request some of Professor Yu’s research manuscripts from his tenure there. They just responded, saying they’ll consider it and get back to me."

Shen You’an’s pupils contracted slightly. She stared deeply at Liu Runxi. "You..."

Liu Runxi gave a faint smile. "Actually, I have a personal interest in space-time physics, so I tried reaching out to Professor Migo’s institute. I didn’t expect them to actually reply."

For such a prestigious research institute overseas, they receive countless emails from across the globe every day—it’s likely that quite some time had passed before they even noticed Liu Runxi’s email.

Gu Bichen was also shocked by this revelation. He frowned and looked at Liu Runxi. "You’ve been in contact for a while now?"

Liu Runxi shook his head lightly. "Not for that long. During my time at the hospital, I was too bored, so I decided to find something to occupy myself."

Gu Bichen hadn’t expected this—he hadn’t realized Liu Runxi had been planning things this far back. On the surface, he seemed easygoing and carefree, but in truth, his mind ran deeply and meticulously.

Liu Runxi was investigating Professor Yu simply because Shen You’an was interested in space-time physics, and Professor Yu’s research in that field was the most authoritative.

But what about Liu Runxi? He thinks three steps ahead and doesn’t say much, but everything is reflected in his actions.

And all of this—was it truly just for Shen You’an?

The three of them left the library with different thoughts in their minds. Gu Bichen answered a call and walked off to the side.

Shen You’an and Liu Runxi walked side by side.

"When did you start taking an interest in space-time physics?"

"The universe is vast and boundless. If the wormhole model becomes achievable someday, humans could traverse space and time freely. Isn’t that fascinating?"

Shen You’an stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

The young man’s gentle gaze rested on her, his dark eyes sincere and clear without a trace of concealment.

"Liu Runxi, just how much do you know?"

Shen You’an, whose intelligence was unparalleled after systematic transformation—far beyond her capabilities in her past life—had met her match. The young man in front of her was undeniably brilliant. Standing before him, she fully understood what it meant to encounter someone out of your league.

Though she prided herself on her ability to see through people’s hearts, when faced with this young man, she found herself unable to see through his.

"An’an, I will always stand by your side." His eyes were gentle, and his tone carried deep emotion, as soft as flowing water.

This sentence seemed to answer everything yet said nothing at all.

Shen You’an stared into those warm eyes. "You know everything, don’t you?"

The young man sighed softly. "An’an, don’t be afraid—I’ll help you."

Shen You’an’s breath hitched. He really knew everything.

The journey so far had been exhausting for her. Hatred pressed down on her like an unbearable weight; it consumed her so completely, even in her dreams, she wanted nothing more than to strangle the members of the Yu family.

But waking up brought endless loneliness, with no one to confide in.

And now, someone had told her: An’an, I will always stand by your side.

An’an, don’t be afraid—I’ll help you.

Turns out, she didn’t have to be so strong all the time. There was someone who could unconditionally accept her, stand by her forever, and walk this path with her.

Shen You’an suddenly felt her nose sting. She quickened her pace and walked toward a nearby lake.

Sunlight warmed her skin, but the chilly breeze still left her nose red.

The young man stood not far behind her, silently keeping watch by her side.

"Liu Runxi, since you know everything, then you should understand—the path I’m taking is bound to be filled with bloodshed. If you and your Liu family aren’t careful, you’ll be utterly destroyed. You can still walk away while there’s time to regret it."
