The baby slapped me, and I said, "Sit on my lap and slap me."

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the auditorium.

Amidst the congratulations of her teammates, Su Qingyao stood up, calmly straightened her clothes, and strode towards the podium.

The spotlight followed her graceful figure, and Wen Yu, sitting in the first row of guests, kept his gaze fixed on her, his eyes overflowing with pride and tenderness.

He kept taking pictures with his camera.

Su Qingyao ascended the steps and received the crystal trophy and certificate, symbolizing her first place in the theoretical written examination, from a highly respected academician.

The academician smiled and said a few words of encouragement to her. Su Qingyao bowed politely in gratitude, her smile appropriate and her demeanor graceful.

"Next up are the top three winners in the overall experimental performance ranking!"

The award's recipient caused quite a stir.

"Third place goes to the team from Zhejiang University!"

"Second place goes to the team from Beijing North University!"

"First Place – Tsinghua University Team! Congratulations!"

Although the Kyoto University team missed out on first place in the experiment, taking second place is still an excellent result.

As one of the core members of the team, Su Qingyao once again went on stage with her teammates to receive the team's honor.

"Next, we will present the awards for the overall performance of the university teams!"

The host raised his voice, "Based on a comprehensive evaluation of all team members' theoretical and experimental results—"

"Third place, Shanghai Jiao Tong University!"

"Runner-up: Tsinghua University!"

"And the champion is," the host exclaimed excitedly, "Beijing University! Congratulations to the Peking University team!"

The area inside the auditorium where Kyoto University is located erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers and applause!

This award is the highest recognition of the school's overall strength.

Su Qingyao stood up again with the entire Peking University team, and under the excited, red-eyed gaze of her team leader, she walked to the podium for the third time, representing the school to hold up the trophy that symbolized the highest honor for a university team.

He took the stage three times and received congratulations and applause under the spotlight each time.

Su Qingyao maintained a humble and confident smile throughout, but the light in her eyes grew brighter with each passing moment.

Each time I turned to leave the stage, my gaze would casually drift to the figure in the first row, and seeing his undisguised praise and encouragement would fill my heart with strength.

Finally, the most exciting moment of the night has arrived.

"Now, we will announce the highest individual honor of this year's National Undergraduate Physics Academic Competition—"

The host surveyed the audience, speaking almost word by word:

"Best Individual Award for Academic Performance in Physics!"

The entire room fell silent; even the sound of breathing seemed to be silenced.

This award signifies excellence in both theoretical and experimental fields, making it a truly "all-around champion."

"The third place winner of the 'Best Individual Academic Performance in Physics Award' is—" the host opened the envelope, "Zhao Jingshu from Tsinghua University! Congratulations!"

Applause erupted from the Tsinghua University area.

"Second place—" The host looked at the card and calmly announced, "Li Mingzhe, Shanghai Jiao Tong University!"

Another round of applause followed.

At this moment, only one name remains to be revealed.

Everyone understands what this means.

Countless eyes turned to the Peking University team area, and to the girl who had already taken the stage three times and was now sitting quietly.

Su Qingyao's hand, resting on her knee, slightly curled at the fingertips.

She could feel her heart racing, but more than that, she felt a calm anticipation of the answer to be revealed, and an unwavering confidence and certainty in herself.

Wen Yu sat in the first row, his gaze fixed on her, as if everything around him had ceased to exist.

The host took a deep breath, a bright smile spreading across his face, and announced in an unprecedentedly loud voice:

"The winner of the first place award, namely the Individual Award for Best Academic Performance in Physics this year, is—"

He paused deliberately, his gaze precisely fixed on Su Qingyao's location, and shouted loudly:

"Jingbei University, Su Qingyao! Let's give her a warm round of applause!"

"Whoosh—!!!"

Thunderous applause instantly swept through the entire auditorium.

The Kyoto University area erupted in cheers, with teammates rising to their feet in excitement. This was the highest recognition and unparalleled glory in the Undergraduate Physics Competition.

The moment she heard her name called, the light that had been building up in Su Qingyao's eyes suddenly burst forth.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised her face to meet the spotlight and the gaze of the entire audience, and walked firmly toward the awards stage.

Under the lights, her figure appeared exceptionally tall and radiant.

Three appearances on stage are a testament to his strength.

And this fourth time was the crowning of the pinnacle.

Wen Yu watched her walk step by step to the top, gazing at the dazzling brilliance in her eyes that belonged to a victor.

My heart felt as if it had been struck hard, and a surge of emotions, a mixture of pride and deep love, welled up inside me.

His baby, his champion, is shining brightly in her world.

And how fortunate he was to witness and have such a woman.

He is simply the happiest person in the world.

As Su Qingyao stepped onto the stage, preparing to receive the trophy symbolizing the highest individual honor from the presenter, a person suddenly stood up in the second row of the audience.

"Wait a moment!"

The sound abruptly pierced the gradually fading applause in the auditorium.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and saw Li Mingzhe, a student from Shanghai Jiaotong University who had just won second place in the Best Individual Award.

His face was slightly flushed, but his eyes were fixed on Su Qingyao on the stage, and then he glanced at Wen Yu in the first row of guests.

"I have a question."

Li Mingzhe's voice echoed in the auditorium, "Regarding the fairness of the award winners."

An uproar erupted at the scene, with whispers filling the air.

The host and the organizer's representative both had a slight change in expression.

The gentle smile in Wen Yu's eyes suddenly froze, and his gaze turned into an icy blade, piercing straight at Li Mingzhe who had stood up.

But he didn't move, he just stared intently at the stage.

He believes in the baby.

Babies are never flowers nurtured in a greenhouse.

He sent people to guard him every step of the way, driven by his deep-seated unease, his possessiveness, and his almost out-of-control desire for control.

But this does not mean that his baby lacks the ability to cope with wind and rain or solve problems.

On the contrary, he knew better than anyone how powerful a heart was hidden beneath that pretty and well-behaved appearance.

Su Qingyao paused slightly in her hand holding the trophy, then calmly handed it back to the academician presenting the award beside her, nodded apologetically, and smiled gently: "Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Then, she turned to Li Mingzhe, her expression calm, even with a hint of gentle inquiry.

"Does Li have any questions?"

Her voice was clear and steady, carrying throughout the auditorium through the microphone.

Li Mingzhe took a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind.

"As we all know, the Wen Group is the largest sponsor of this competition, and Mr. Wen Yu..."

He pointed to the first row, "As far as I know, that's your boyfriend."

"You've taken the stage four times in a row, winning several of the most important awards. This inevitably raises questions about whether your achievements are entirely due to your own abilities."

This statement is quite blunt, directly accusing the competition of being unfair.

The murmurs in the audience grew louder, and many eyes darted back and forth between Su Qingyao and Wen Yu.

Su Qingyao smiled gently.

"So, Ms. Li believes that because my boyfriend is a representative of the sponsor, the award I received was questionable, is that right?"
