Yuan Luoyi's fans noticed her peculiar state and were extremely worried.

"What's going on? Yuan Luoyi has been preempted in answering the last three questions by Su Xun!"

"Her face looks so pale!"

"Host, please pause the contest and let the contestants rest for a bit!"

On stage, Su Xun heard them and turned around, shouting furiously at that fan: "Shut up!"

The next second, Su Xun realized she was supposed to maintain her well-read and elegant lady persona. She had become too engrossed in the competition with Yuan Luoyi, and that outburst revealed her easily irritable nature.

Su Xun quickly adjusted her expression, reverting to her gentle and adorable demeanor, smiling serenely, and making a heart gesture towards that person, pretending nothing had happened.

The host Na Lan ignored this minor episode and, with time running short, announced the next question.

"Question seven: When the integer n > 2, the indefinite equation x^n + y^n = z^n has no integer solutions. What is this mathematical conjecture called?"

"A: Marck's conjecture, B: Fermat's conjecture, C: Richard's conjecture, D: Andrew's conjecture"

This time, neither Yuan Luoyi nor Su Xun immediately pressed the button.

Mathematics was not Su Xun's forte, and she anxiously tapped the table, needing to answer quickly. The longer she delayed, the greater the chance that Yuan Luoyi would recover her composure!

The seconds ticked by, one by one.

Yuan Luoyi, who had been looking down, suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed option B.

"Yuan Luoyi answered correctly, scoring one point!"

The fans cheered!

"Ahh, great! Luoyi has regained her form!"

"Go for it! With only three questions left, Yuan Luoyi, if you answer two more correctly, you'll win!"

"Victory belongs to you!"

However, in the audience, Yuan Luoyi's eldest brother Yuan Ao became even more concerned. He often observed Yuan Luoyi and could notice changes others might miss. For instance, at this moment, although Yuan Luoyi's expression hadn't changed much, her breathing had become more rapid.

She must be in great discomfort.

The second brother, Yuan Fa, also noticed and, although he had been enjoying the contest, occasionally cheering and waving flags in support of Yuan Luoyi, he now fell silent, staring intently at her.

As her brothers, they both wanted to immediately stop the contest and let Yuan Luoyi rest, thoroughly checking her condition.

But in this competition, Yuan Luoyi was clearly determined to win. How could they bear to prevent her from shining on stage?

Yuan Fa sighed: "It's so perplexing being an older brother."

Yuan Ao said: "Yes, we want to keep her in a perfectly safe environment forever, never letting her face any danger, yet we can't bear to take away her freedom."

"So what should we do?"

"Let's wait a bit longer. It's almost over."

On stage, Yuan Luoyi had just viewed a memory fragment again. Fermat's conjecture was one of the three great mathematical conjectures, and the old mathematician she had followed had spent his entire life trying to solve it, but failed, ultimately dying in disappointment.
