Chapter 425: Chapter 425

Shen You’an had been secretly tutoring Gao Yuyue in private, and that was the main reason for Gao Yuyue’s rapid academic improvement.

"An’an," Yan Lu whispered softly. The source of thɪs content is novel✶fire.net

"Can I borrow a book from you? I’m so bored. The books I brought are in the trunk."

Yan Lu’s eyes shifted to the book in Shen You’an’s hands.

Shen You’an handed it to her.

Yan Lu solemnly accepted it with both hands, her fingers lightly brushing the cover.

It was an English original.

Yan Lu tried to translate the title—"Search for Schrodinger’s cat? Schrodinger’s cat?"

Shen You’an rarely read miscellaneous books; she usually spent her time studying practice problems. This was the first time Yan Lu had noticed her reading a non-academic book. It felt like she’d stumbled upon a hidden side of Shen You’an, which made her secretly a little excited.

Schrodinger’s cat was a concept known to almost anyone who studied physics—a famous thought experiment that had now evolved into a widely recognized meme.

It was essentially one of the questions arising from quantum mechanics, fueling endless debate within the physics community over the years.

While Shen You’an excelled in math, her physics was equally exceptional. However, since she was about to attend a math camp, it was intriguing that she’d brought a physics book with her. Was this multitasking just how geniuses operated?

Yan Lu flipped through a few pages. She had received an international education since childhood, so conversing in English was effortless for her. Yet this book proved quite difficult to read, filled with physics jargon that made it laborious to digest.

Before long, Yan Lu began to nod off.

Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the airport, and Yan Lu returned the book to Shen You’an.

"An’an, could you share your reading list with me sometime?"

Yan Lu firmly believed that keeping up with a study genius would surely help her improve her grades.

"Sure," Shen You’an replied, taking the book and placing it back in her bag.

Gao Yuyue stirred awake, dazed, and found a tissue held out in front of her.

Instinctively reaching for her mouth, Gao Yuyue felt drool on her fingers. She hurriedly took the tissue and wiped hastily, her ears glowing red with embarrassment.

Everyone proceeded to queue up for baggage check-in and boarding passes. Shen You’an, traveling light, didn’t need to check luggage. Yet something unexpected happened as she went through security.

The security officer was meticulous, inspecting Shen You’an’s backpack before scanning her body with a device, which kept beeping.

The officer’s gaze landed on Shen You’an’s glasses. He suddenly said, "Please remove your glasses."

The other students lined up behind Shen You’an grew impatient seeing this, and someone grumbled, "Stop wasting time, could you hurry up?"

Liu Runxi, standing right behind Shen You’an, turned around to glance at the complaining boy.

Liu Runxi was usually calm and aloof, making it difficult for others to find an opening to get close to him. Yet this didn’t diminish the sense of authority he carried among the students; many found him intimidating.

The quieter and more reserved he was, the more daunting he seemed.

For instance, at this moment, Liu Runxi said nothing, merely casting a silent look at the boy, which was enough to make him shrink back and hold his tongue.

Taking a step forward, Liu Runxi’s tall and lean figure became more evident. He appeared slim at first glance but was undeniably well-built upon closer inspection.

His broad shoulders perfectly blocked Shen You’an’s profile from view, completely obscuring her from the line of sight of the students queued behind them.

Shen You’an removed her glasses and handed them to the security officer.

The officer glanced at her casually but suddenly gasped audibly.

What kind of magic was this? The young girl seemed almost transformed without her glasses. Though her features were unchanged, something about her appeared strikingly different.

Her cold, piercing gaze swept toward the officer, who felt a shiver in his chest and hurriedly lowered his eyes. He absentmindedly inspected the glasses in his hands but found nothing unusual, then returned them to her.

"There’s... no issue."

The girl meticulously put her glasses back on, reverting to her original appearance.

The dazzling allure dissipated, leaving only a fair, refined girl with a scholarly charm. Still, her appearance stood out among the crowd.

"Thank you," she said, slinging her bag over her shoulder and heading into the gate without looking back.

Lingering at the back of the group, Leng Yunyang squinted slightly, watching Shen You’an’s figure recede into the gate, his eyebrow subtly arched.

From then on, the security officer became noticeably less thorough in her inspections. She couldn’t stop thinking about the fleeting moment with that girl. Her image repeatedly surfaced in the officer’s mind, like a spell she couldn’t shake.

In her job, she’d seen countless people, including glamorous celebrities and elegant socialites, all gorgeously dressed and exuding sophistication. Yet in comparison to that young girl, none of them seemed to hold a candle.
