Soone noticed his aloof reaction and couldn’t help but pat his shoulder and call him: "Professor Alexander, what’s wrong with you?"
The man seed startled, reacted strongly, his face turned pale, muttering: "Is it her? Impossible."
"?"
The others all looked at him, clueless.
Alexander didn’t look at anyone, just stared in the direction Nathalie Quinlan went, lost in thought for a long ti.
He seed to have seen Sun.
It shouldn’t be possible, right?
How could that legendary figure in the hacker field participate in such a competition???
It must be his eyes playing tricks on him!

The competition ended promptly at twelve o’clock. Nathalie Quinlan was the first to co out. After she ca out, she retrieved her phone from the security check, saw Valencia Jett’s ssages, greeted Leo Dunn and the others, and left first.
After she left, Leo Dunn and the others didn’t dare to leave.
They were all nervously waiting for the final results to co out.
Cigarette butts were scattered at Leo Dunn’s feet, he waited for five minutes, but the results still hadn’t refreshed. He snuffed out the cigarette in his mouth with his hand, his brow twitching, and asked the teacher beside him in a low voice: "What’s going on, why aren’t the results out yet?"
The teacher also shook his head in confusion: "I don’t know. The results should have been out by now!"
Just as the words fell.
Soone shouted nervously: "It’s refreshed!"
Leo Dunn raised his head nervously. At first glance, he didn’t dare to look, took a deep breath, and then mustered the courage to look at the screen.
NO.1, Nathalie Quinlan, Zenla, Tsinghua University, Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt!
The first row’s bold red letters marked the results of Group C, thoughtfully translated into another language, written very clearly.
NO.1, NATHALIE QUINLAN, Zenla!
Nathalie Quinlan, Zenla, first place!
Leo Dunn could hardly believe what his eyes were seeing, his mind went blank for a long ti, unable to think of anything.
Staring in a daze at the rolling results on the screen, his voice faintly asked the person next to him: "I think I saw Nathalie Quinlan got first place in Group C."
"Professor Dunn, be confident, remove the ’think’!" The teacher’s excited voice trembled: "Nathalie Quinlan got first place in Group C, we’ve made it to this year’s finals!"
First place!
It really is first place!
Leo Dunn took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes hard, and confird once more.
The fonts on the screen were still scrolling.
But no matter how he looked, the na hanging high in the first place was a familiar one.
NO.1, Nathalie Quinlan, Zenla!
Leo Dunn clenched his fists excitedly, the corners of his eyes reddened, and imdiately shouted excitedly with several teachers: "I’m going to call Mr. Wafford and tell him this good news."
He was equally joyful, barely knowing which way to walk, and after making a round, he finally walked out of the art building, found a quiet place to make the call.

The Yancey family in Beijing.
Jackson Wafford was still having tea with Mr. Yancey, watching the spirited old man leisurely trimming flower branches in front of him. He drank a pot of tea until it was empty and finally couldn’t help but speak to Giordano Yancey.
"Mr. Yancey, what exactly did you ask to co here for today?"
Giordano Yancey glanced at him, slowly put down the scissors in his hand, took off the thread gloves, placed them on the flower stand, particularly patient: "Nothing much. Just called you over to see how my Clivia is blooming."
Jackson Wafford: ...
Giordano Yancey ca back, picked up the cup of tea in front of him, leisurely took a sip, put the cup down, and cast a sidelong glance at the anxious middle-aged man as if he didn’t see Jackson Wafford’s anxiety, smiled and asked: "How’s my Clivia blooming?"
