Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 1144 - 577: Overturning the Era (Part 2)

Following beside her, Liu Runxi was not overshadowed by her charisma. He was solitary and cool like the moon, indifferent as snow, with an otherworldly coldness that made him only worthy of distant admiration, without daring to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.

One vibrant and flamboyant, the other low-key and understated, they formed a strange complementary effect, a space occupied solely by both of them, impenetrable by anyone else.

After all, they were people of high intelligence and quality—there was no noise, no jostling, just silently watching Shen You’an and Liu Runxi leave. Only after they walked away did discussions excitedly break out.

——

Shen You’an returned after finishing her call: "It’s Aunt Mo; she asked us to go to the family house for dinner tonight. On one hand to celebrate, on the other to discuss something with us."

Liu Runxi had no objections; they went to a fruit shop and bought a fruit basket, which they took to the Gu family.

"Grandma." Shen You’an affectionately hugged Elder Mrs. Gu.

Elder Mrs. Gu’s laughter was boundless as she embraced her.

"It’s been sixty-five days since you last visited me, you busy girl."

"Grandma, it’s my fault. I will come to see you whenever I have some free time."

Elder Mrs. Gu laughed and patted her back: "Grandma knows you’re terribly busy. Congratulations on winning the championship; Grandma is proud of you."

Elder Mrs. Gu’s gaze fell on the young man behind Shen You’an, her eyes filled with approval.

"You must be Runxi then; you truly are a good child."

Liu Runxi stepped forward, speaking humbly and politely: "Good day, Ma’am."

Elder Mrs. Gu found it hard to believe that a woman like Helian Yu could raise such an excellent and outstanding son as Liu Runxi.

But now it seemed that he resembled his father.

"And Aning, what has he been busy with lately?"

At the mention of Gu Xianning, Elder Mrs. Gu’s smile couldn’t be contained, her eyes full of doting love.

"Oh him, he’s been tinkering with his music every day. I heard he met with some foreign producer today, so he might come back a bit late. But I told him you’re coming, and he’ll try to return early."

Dinner was still personally prepared by Gu Chengzhao, who at this moment was busy in the kitchen preparing fish.

Na Amo called Shen You’an and Liu Runxi to the study room.

She took out a document from the drawer and pushed it in front of Shen You’an.

"Open it and take a look."

Shen You’an opened it, and the words that greeted her eyes made her eyes widen suddenly.

Feasibility Analysis on Similar Time Closed Curves and Time Travel.

Liu Runxi also saw it, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Interested in this research project?"

Na Amo smiled, looking at Shen You’an.

Shen You’an pursed her lips: "Aunt Mo, is this your lab’s new project?"

"That’s right; I’m the lead of this new project. From what I know, foreign research on time travel projects began quite early. We’re actually a bit late in starting, but we have the best talent. There’s a saying that the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago; the second best time is now."

Shen You’an turned to exchange a glance with Liu Runxi, who softly said, "I support whatever decision you make."

"An’an, I know you’ve already received an invitation from Seth Laboratory, as per your original plan. In about two months, you may be preparing to go abroad to join Seth’s lab and start your research career. But An’an, I hope you’ll consider staying here."

Na Amo spoke each word seriously: "I know with your talent and vision, the weight of Seth’s invitation is immense. They have a century of reputation, a mature platform, a ready-made team, which would tempt anyone."

"But I also understand, what you seek has never been a title, a steady position, or a path paved by others. What you want is to turn the theory of time travel into something truly verifiable and achievable; you want a space entirely yours, free from constraints, where all your bold visions can be realized."

"That, they cannot provide to you."

Na Amo’s gaze was full of confidence.

Shen You’an listened quietly.

"Their systems, though mature, also mean rigidity. What you aim to do involves overturning existing frameworks of spacetime, touching upon forbidden directions like causality, temporal sequence, wormholes, closed time-like curves. In a mature institution, you’d have to pass reviews, follow procedures, accommodate existing results, and consider team interests. Your brilliant ideas would slowly be tempered into safe, compliant research that can publish papers."

"Whereas here, this domestic project is completely new, free from historical burdens, without a set route - it’s designed from the ground up for a genius like you."

"Funding: I assure you—no limits, no set cycles, no approval constraints. Whenever you ask, equipment, lab, computational resources, collaboration teams—all prioritized, every effort directed at full speed. You don’t need to explain your ideas to anyone, nor compromise your theoretical direction, nor pursue application transformations you don’t recognize for funding. You only need to do one thing—."
