Be a Good Boy and Marry Me - Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Chapter 363: Should I Reveal My Identity_1

Sure enough, the next second, the deafening music indicating a successful clearance blasted out, followed by the excited shout of the host: “Congratulations to Gu Li for successfully passing the level! You are undoubtedly tonight’s champion!”

“Yay——”

Murong Qian stood up excitedly, clapping like mad.

The rest of the audience blinked in confusion for a second before reacting.

No way.

Did she actually succeed?

That’s badass!

“Ah——”

“That’s incredible!”

“Wow, our Gu Li is so good!”

For a moment, cheers, screams, and thunderous applause resonated throughout the arena.

On the stage, a flurry of colorful confetti burst out, the petals fluttering and landing on Gu Li, adding to the boundless joy.

Qiao Se, not expecting Gu Li to successfully navigate the maze, was impressed and admired her, further strengthening his resolve to pursue her.

So what if she’s loved by someone else?

He didn’t believe that her lover’s status was as prestigious as his, or that he was as intelligent and talented as he was.

After all, even though he hadn’t cleared the maze yet, he could succeed too with just a bit more time.

Compared to the excitement of the audience, Gu Li, who stood in the middle of the stage ready to accept the award, seemed much calmer.

Truthfully, whether or not she became the champion at this point- didn’t matter much to her.

However, this mathematical maze thing was quite interesting, she wondered if Brother Ting would like to try it?

She’d have him give it a try next time.

Gu Li’s mind drifted, and her gaze unconsciously looked toward the VIP seats below the stage. She happened to see Ye Yining and Murong Qian hugging excitedly. Lu Cong originally wanted to hug Murong Qian, but she turned around and hugged her other best friend instead.

“Pfft.”

Seeing the disappointed look on Lu Cong’s face, Gu Li almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Mo Shiting was seated to the left of Lu Cong.

He generously gave her a thumbs-up, his deep eyes full of affection.

The venue was in chaos, and the host next to her kept speaking, but Gu Li didn’t pay any attention. The only thing inside her eyes and her heart was the approving Mo Shiting.

“Once again, congratulations to Gu Li for becoming the overall champion of this competition. Tonight, we are honoured to have Professor Ares come and present—— the prize.”

Perhaps he was too excited, the host’s voice inadvertently cracked.

The audience stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what they just heard.

My God!

Professor Ares?

The man is nearly a hundred years old, he’s quite reclusive, and he agreed to present the award?

The organizer must be quite influential!

Gu Li also blinked, masking her excitement.

At this point, a thin old man was led onto the stage by a hostess.

Wearing a deep grey Zhongshan suit, the old man radiated vitality. His whole demeanor was that of a distinguished scientist.

Most of the audience were math enthusiasts and greatly admired this brilliant mathematician. As soon as he appeared, everyone fell silent.

The audience watched in awe as the old man, holding the trophy and certificate, slowly walked towards Gu Li.

Gu Li’s heart was pounding fast. When Professor Ares handed her the heavy trophy, her hands were trembling.

As she accepted the trophy, she tried to control her emotions, trying to calm herself: “Thank you, professor!”

In fact, Professor Ares was her master’s mentor, and hence her grand-teacher, even though they had never met before.

She knew her grand-teacher, but he didn’t know her, should she reveal herself?

Just as she was lost in thought, Professor Ares suddenly spoke kindly: “Well done, Little He’s disciple. He must have mentioned me to you, hasn’t he?”
