In the final defense session, both Shen You’an and Liu Runxi perford extrely well, but their styles were different: Shen You’an was bold and aggressive, an attacking type, while Liu Runxi was restrained and steady, leaning conservative.
The judging panel actually preferred Liu Runxi’s style a bit more and gave him slightly higher scores than Shen You’an.
But in the end, the total score still had him lose to Shen You’an by a single point.
In the eyes of the judges, both of them were extraordinarily gifted genius contestants, like the two sides of a hand—palm and back are both flesh—making it hard to choose.
But this is ultimately an arena of competition; rankings have to be drawn and the champion, runner-up, and second runner-up decided.
The two of them also picked up a Best Collaboration Duo Award.
On the stage, Shen You’an and Liu Runxi, each holding two trophies, exchanged a smile; handso guy and pretty girl, the picture was downright pleasing to the eye.
Xun Jian took third place; on the podium, he stood on Shen You’an’s right, grinning with simple, honest happiness.
The champion, runner-up, and second runner-up would all receive guaranteed admission to De Ren University, and not only that, they would also get internship opportunities on cutting-edge research projects at the National Physics Research Institute.
Xun Jian’s face was practically splitting from smiling.
To win over talent, each project team pulled out all the stops, and the ones most sought after were naturally Shen You’an and Liu Runxi. These two inseparable geniuses beca the targets of a tug-of-war among top-tier research projects.
During the final group photo, Shen You’an’s head subconsciously tilted in Liu Runxi’s direction.
And Liu Runxi’s body also faintly angled toward Shen You’an.
The two of them, holding two trophies, faced the cara, their young and beautiful faces full of high-spirited confidence.
The "click" of the shutter froze this mont forever.
——
In less than an hour, the news that Shen You’an had won the overall championship of the Bright Cup physics competition shot to the trending list.
A lot of people didn’t really know how high the gold content of this competition was, so professionals ca out to explain: it’s the highest-level physics competition in the country, organized by the National Physics Research Institute. The champion, runner-up, and second runner-up can directly get guaranteed admission to the physics departnt of De Ren University, and even have the chance to intern on cutting-edge research projects.
—— Damn, straight-up guaranteed admission to De Ren University’s physics departnt, Shen You’an is too strong.
—— This is the overall champion of the highest-gold-content physics competition in the country. You can check out what all the past champions from these competitions are doing now—they’re all big shots in the physics world.
—— The top female celeb I stan is a future scientist? It’s like a webnovel coming to life.
—— Am I the only one noticing that the runner-up is Liu Runxi again? That na sounds so familiar. After I started stanning An’an, I went through all her awards from various competitions growing up. This Liu Runxi has basically swept all the second-place spots. Of course, the champions were our An’an. This ti he’s still the runner-up. This "forever number two" curse really can’t be broken—guess he’s fated to be crushed by our An’an for life.
—— Crushed for life... damn, I’m picturing a totally different scene in my head right now, nosebleed.
—— Gonna quietly say this CP has got too. This ti he only lost by one point to An’an in the physics competition; his strength is really insane. It’s just that his luck with awards is too tragic—he ran into our walking-luck-buff An’an.
—— In terms of height, looks, and aura, Liu Runxi absolutely wipes the floor with all those idol celebs who live off their faces in the industry right now. On top of that, he’s got super high IQ, and his family background is top tier. Honestly, he’s the only man I feel is worthy of An’an.
—— His dad is Liu Qingfeng, that recently appointed... yeah, that one. This family background is just too powerful. The key thing is, he doesn’t have any of that spoiled rich-kid temper; he’s super low-key in daily life. I can’t, the more I think about it, the more addictive this CP gets.
—— Is everyone abandoning Little Ningning now? Nooo please don’t. I don’t care what astrology site I check, they all say Little Ningning and An’an are a match made in heaven.
—— Little Ningning is great too, but I feel like he and An’an are missing a bit of that spark. Everyone’s watched Brainstorm, right? I’ve seen it several tis, and the more I watch, the more I feel that An’an and Liu Runxi have god-tier tacit understanding. One look and they know what the other is thinking. This double-strong CP is just too easy to ship.
—— What’s with this CP and that CP? Can’t live without n or what? Our An’an is a stand-alone, dazzling female lead. Filthy n, stay away.
And just like that, thanks to his "forever number two" image, Liu Runxi’s na got bookmarked by Shen You’an’s fans, and a small group quietly started shipping this double-strong CP.
After the awards ceremony, Shen You’an returned backstage and received tons of congratulatory ssages from friends on her phone.
Mixed in there was a ssage of congratulations from Gu Xianning.
Shen You’an replied "thank you" to each one.
Right now, a lot of people had gathered backstage, secretly snapping photos of Shen You’an with their phones, every pair of eyes filled with amazent.
In person, she looked even better than on TV—tall and slender, fair-skinned, elegant in temperant, and stunningly beautiful. As she grew older, her features had matured, blossoming into a bold, vivid, and intensely alive kind of beauty that made it impossible to look away from her face for even a second.
