Zhao Yi furrowed his brows, "Are you here to... seek revenge?"
"Of course not."
Kaysa shook her head, "I should thank you, to be honest. Everyone must respect science, and physics is a rigorous discipline. Bob’s actions could have had serious consequences. That was his mistake as well as our entire team’s mistake."
"Oh~"
Kaysa’s words surprised Zhao Yi somewhat. He scrutinized the woman in front of him. He had noticed her beauty from afar, and she looked even more stunning up close.
Just as she appeared, she was quite... large...in magnitude!
Kaysa noticed Zhao Yi’s mixed emotions. He had sabotaged their presentation and exposed Bob’s fraudulent calculations, but she couldn’t blame him. From an outsider’s perspective, it was only right to expose the truth.
Kaysa was still interested in Zhao Yi. She couldn’t understand how he had discovered the problem.
The complex mathematical calculations were extremely difficult and time-consuming. Even with her mathematical abilities, some calculations were too challenging. Yet, after hearing their presentation, he pointed out the discrepancies swiftly.
Kaysa found it incredulous. But considering he was a highly acclaimed researcher in the field of number theory, it started making sense.
Perhaps this is what a top-tier mathematician is like?
Upon a bench in front of the sculpture opposite the museum, Zhao Yi and Kaysa exchanged a few words. However, after a while, they seemed to run out of things to say.
Kaysa didn’t find the silence awkward. Smiling, she said, "You’re not even 20 years old? I find you intriguing."
"Is that so?"
Zhao Yi turned to look at Kaysa, intending to ask her age but thought better of it as it might be impolite, and ended up not saying anything.
He too started to get interested.
The dormant "Flirting Point" within him stirred once more, his gaze drawn to the most enticing part of her.
Staring.
Continued staring.
Kaysa felt somewhat uncomfortable under Zhao Yi’s gaze. Realizing that he was barely 20 years old made her feel somewhat proud. Unconsciously, she puffed out her chest, seemingly to provide him with a clearer view.
This action somewhat exasperated Zhao Yi. He didn’t mind being flirted with, but the lack of any Study Coin income was indeed frustrating!
Zhao Yi declared simply, "Miss Randall, I would say I’m fascinated by you too."
"Is that so?"
"It’s rare to find a physicist as beautiful as you."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"Absolutely." Zhao Yi answered with an honest smile, "The research you’re doing in Physics is captivating. Maybe, when we have time, we can have a deeper discussion?"
Kaysa laughed.
She perfectly caught the insinuations within his words and replied candidly, "You’re really interesting. But, in pursuing a girl, sincerity is important, not just about... that."
While saying this, Kaysa puffed out her chest again.
"Okay, I do lack experience." After taking in her response, Zhao Yi stood up and left.
He lost interest.
Predictable!
Foreign women were indeed not his thing. She was so candid and he didn’t even earn a single Study Coin?
This was indeed a loss!
It seemed as if he was the one being flirted with. There was not even a trace of shyness on her face.
Behind him.
Kaysa watched Zhao Yi’s retreating form, feeling utterly perplexed. She was indeed keen on him, but her interest was more on the academic side.
He was a top-tier mathematician and, most importantly, very young. If there were to be the possibility of a relationship, she would certainly accept it.
The two had a common ground in terms of academia.
She had been feeling low lately, and the pursuit of this young man could be a refreshing change. Even if they weren’t to be in a relationship, a pleasant night together could turn out to be a sweet memory.
She had undoubtedly given him a chance.
But...
He just walked away?
He was clearly attracted to her. His gaze had given away plenty.
Kaysa was completely puzzled. But she found herself more intrigued by him than before. He was the most interesting person she had ever met.

The California Institute of Technology team re-applied to present on a singularity.
They identified two new singularities and had a robust theoretical explanation. But few attended their presentation. Their reputation had been affected and now their presentations had hardly any attendees.
The Caltech team could not complain about their situation. The mere fact that they were allowed to stay was already a boon, but they definitely couldn’t participate in future experiments.
Their ability to participate in future experiments was uncertain.
They faced enormous pressure.

The domestic group continually worked hard. Apart from Zhao Yi, who was free, everyone else took their work seriously, sleeping less than six hours a day, just to finish their work on time.
It took the team thirteen days to complete their validation.
This process was somewhat slow. The nearly thirty-member team took thirteen days to validate.
During the validation presentation, some of the attendees looked down on them because the domestic team had taken too long to complete their work.
