"Returning the books?" Professor Wang was shocked.
"I finished the first two books, so I'll return them to the organization first! It'd be troublesome if I kept them at my place." Song He explained.
"The first two!" Dean Cai and Professor Wang exclaimed in unison, their voices rising an octave.
Song He jumped. "What's wrong?"
"You finished them all? You fully absorbed everything?" Professor Wang looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"I memorized everything." Song He said gratefully, "These textbooks are really useful, especially for broadening my thinking! When I proved the conjecture yesterday, I got so much inspiration from them!"
Professor Wang fell silent, but the flicker in his eyes betrayed his shock.
He had just said that Song He could finish one textbook in a week, which was already an optimistic estimate. He had not expected Song He's actual ability to be even more astonishing—he had devoured two books in two days!
"Prove a conjecture?" Dean Cai asked curiously. "Why did you suddenly want to prove a conjecture?"
Professor Wang also looked concerned. When Song He had previously asked him for electronic textbooks, he had mentioned it in passing.
"It was a misunderstanding." Song He said awkwardly, then told them about Xie Kefu and Katerina.
After listening, Dean Cai and Professor Wang exchanged a strange look.
"Xiao Song, wherever there are people, there are rivalries. The mathematical community is no different." Dean Cai spoke earnestly. "You feel that you accidentally intruded on Katerina and Xie Kefu's work. You were in the wrong first, weren't you?"
"Calling it being in the wrong is too strong, but it was indeed a misunderstanding." Song He thought for a moment. "The Sassoon Conjecture isn't particularly difficult. The two of them could have proved it independently. I didn't understand the situation
