The bedroom was dark after the lights were turned off at night, and the sensor lights in the corridor also dimmed. Xu Sheng took a shower late, his hair was slightly wet, and after the word "metaphysics" flashed in his mind, he sat up and stood up.
Since science can't explain it, you can try metaphysics.
The more Xu Sheng thought about it, the more he felt.
What a fucking good idea.
Zhang Feng just took his mother away and opened the mobile game in the name of concentrating on his homework.
As a result, just after the game started, his boss called him, Zhang Feng was stunned for a while at the word "Xu Sheng" on the screen of his mobile phone, and then suddenly hung up on the other side.
Zhang Feng called back immediately, but Xu Sheng didn't answer.
Zhang Feng could only text and ask, "What's the matter, brother, find me at this point? Why don't you answer the phone?"
Xu Shengxin said that because he almost forgot who he is now.
S: There's something wrong with the phone, so I can't talk.
S: Let me ask you something.
Zhang Feng sat up straight: You said.
S: Do you still remember that at the end of last semester, you went to the commercial street near the school to ask for a visa.
Zhang Feng remembered this, and was ruthlessly ridiculed by Xu Sheng at the time: I remember, you said you were an idiot to ask for a lottery.
Did he even say that
"… "
Xu Sheng paused with his finger, and the following sentence 'Is there a recommended store' stopped in the input box.
There is everything on the commercial street outside the school. Since a tarot card shop for testing fortunes has become an online celebrity shop, all corners of the world have seen business opportunities. , Meng will dice on abcd ... The business is very popular.
Zhang Feng is more familiar with the commercial street. He likes to go shopping with girls. Xu Sheng deleted that line, and finally he can only start with "I have a friend".
"Fortune-telling stalls with good reputation, I think about it, the recently opened 'Banxianju' is ok," Zhang Feng said after thinking about it, "You have to make an appointment online, and bring your birth date with you when you go there. Just go. It's pretty good. Zhang Tong just finished the math with him last week. He came back and bragged about that Hu Banxian, saying that he is definitely an expert in the world. If your friend wants to do the math, you can try it. ."
S: Good.
S: Thank you.
After the chat, Zhang Feng scratched his head at the phone for unknown reasons, puzzled: Xu Sheng suddenly asked what fortune-telling booth was.
[Ding].
[The game has found a match].
Forget it, take care of him.
Zhang Feng cut into the game, but he didn't take it to heart and quickly forgot about it.
Turning off the lights does not affect Xueba's questioning.
At the same time, Shao Zhan pinched the bridge of his nose and turned over the last competition scroll.
The young man hooked the pen in his hand, and the cloth was attached to his straight back. Xu Sheng's fingers were slender, with slightly raised knuckles.
The lamp light broke through the surrounding darkness and hit his slightly curved knuckles straight.
After Shao Zhan finished flipping the page, he paused for two seconds, and somehow suddenly recalled how Xu Sheng was holding a paintbrush in this hand.
The back is the last big question: let V be a set of 2019 points in space, of which any four points are not coplanar, and some points are connected with line segments, let E be the set of these line segments...
Shao Zhan retracted his eyes and hurriedly scanned the problem. Before he could find a solution to the problem, the door was knocked twice.
Xu Sheng sent a message to Shao Zhan, and he didn't reply after a few minutes, so he just knocked on the door.
When Shao Zhan opened the door, Xu Sheng was leaning against his bedroom door, playing with his mobile phone across the aisle from him.
Seeing him open the door, Xu Sheng turned his phone over, shook it and said, "I sent you a message, you may not have seen it."
Shao Zhan really didn't see it.
When he writes questions, he doesn't look at his mobile phone much except for timing.
Xu Sheng usually looks very harmonious when he walks around like he has no bones, but now this is in his body, and Shao Zhan always finds it strange when he looks at it. He turned sideways and said, "Come in."
This was originally his bedroom, and he didn't need to say hello. Xu Sheng sat down on the bed naturally, and said directly: "I think of a way."
Shao Zhan couldn't guess what he wanted to say.
Xu Sheng: "I'll tell you a story."
"… "
Shao Zhan: "Story?"
Under Shao Zhan's gaze, Xu Sheng changed his posture and said, "My cousin accidentally fell into the river when he was a child. After he was picked up, he had a high fever, and it was useless to take any medicine and see many doctors."
Shao Zhan couldn't guess what he wanted to say this time.
Tell the story of my cousin in the middle of the night.
The talented boy who could score 145 points in Chinese was defeated and failed to grasp the key points.
At this point in Xu Sheng's story, he stopped and asked, "Guess how my cousin recovered in the end?"
"..." Shao Zhan cooperated with him and asked, "How did it heal."
"metaphysics."
"… "
"There was a goddess in our street who drew a talisman for him, and it would be good the next day after burning it and drinking it."
"so?"
"So sometimes for things that science can't explain, we can turn to the power of metaphysics."
Shao Zhan unscrewed the mineral water bottle by the table, walked over to the bed and handed it to him.
Xu Sheng took it and said, "I have already inquired with Zhang Feng. There is a new 'Banxianju' near the school, which has a good reputation."
The light of the desk lamp is not strong, and the light that hits the bedside is even weaker.
After Xu Sheng took the water, he just raised his head to take a sip, but Shao Zhan's hand did not retract, he stretched out his index finger and placed it on Xu Sheng's forehead, "in your head, day by day. What are you thinking about?"
The hot temperature of the boy's fingertips touched it lightly.
Xu Sheng grabbed the water bottle, blinked, and was blinded by the temperature for a while.
Shao Zhan: "When will you go?"
Before Xu Sheng came, he was worried that Shao Zhan would think his proposal was ridiculous, and the dignified scholar went to the fortune-teller master. No matter how he thought about it, these two elements would not be involved: "After the evening self-study?"
Shao Zhan also thought that he would think this proposal was ridiculous, but in front of the four-school league, no matter how tough people were, they had to bow their heads.
"Row."
It wasn't until Shao Zhan retracted his hand and went back to the desk to continue writing the test paper that Xu Sheng took a sip of water and closed the bottle cap.
Xu Sheng's palm was soaked with sweat, and he walked over with the water bottle: "Are you doing a competition question?"
Although Xu Sheng couldn't understand the stack of test papers on the table, after all, he brought them back from the conference room.
Xu Sheng glanced and saw the big question that Shao Zhan was calculating on the scratch paper. The title was very long. Xu Sheng noticed the scalp-numbing numbers in it, which looked scary: 'If the conditions are met, if E has n elements, then E must contain 908 binary subsets'.
908, Binary subset.
What's the meaning?
Shao Zhan glanced at him: "Want to try it? It's not difficult."
Xu Sheng: "…"
Shao Zhan: "Familiarize yourself with it in advance."
The worst-case scenario is to go to the game as Shao Zhan, the big devil of the four-school league.
Xu Sheng hesitated for a while, thinking that it would be fine to meet the world in Shao Zhan in advance.
The question may not be written, and the momentum must be displayed at that time.
Besides, Shao Zhan also said that this question is not difficult... Maybe he has a talent for competition
Every student who never learns will inevitably fantasize in his heart that once he turns on the learning switch, he may be a blockbuster.
Xu Sheng said without any pressure in his heart: "Just try it."
In fact, listening to Shao Zhan's topic is a kind of enjoyment. The boy's tone is cold and his thinking is clear. Following his thinking, he writes a simple theorem on paper: "This question first proves a lemma. Let G=(V, E) be A simple graph, and G is connected, then G contains…”
Xu Sheng gave up decisively.
He was awake in an instant.
The word "not difficult" in Shao Zhan's mouth is completely different from how normal people understand the word "not difficult".
After Shao Zhan finished speaking, he handed him the pen and motioned for him to explain it by himself.
"... I'm leaving," Xu Sheng said, "can't write."
Having really faced the competition questions and knowing the difficulty of the competition questions, Xu Sheng's desire to go to Banxianju is even stronger.
the next day.
After the evening self-study, the two packed up and prepared to slip out through the back door.
"Brother Zhan, Brother Sheng," Hou Jun and Tan Kai patted their shoulders from behind, "Let's go to the commercial street for dinner, there is a newly opened noodle restaurant recently, how about we?"
They are all going to the commercial street, and it is inappropriate to say that it is not right at the moment.
Xu Sheng: "Go on, let's go to the commercial street to buy something else..."
Before Xu Sheng finished speaking, Hou Jun squeezed directly between the two of them: "Don't you all go to the commercial street, let's go together."
The commercial street after school is lit up with colorful lights. Half of the school name "Linjiang" comes from the natural environment of the school. Surrounded by the cold river, the commercial street is built in the style of an ancient town, with wooden buildings and square doors standing at the entrance of the commercial street. There were shouts at the door of the store.
"The noodle shop is open, 20% off-"
"Tarot cards, test your luck in the test—"
Xu Sheng and Shao Zhan bravely walked with them.
Apart from going out to eat, Xu Sheng seldom came to this street for a stroll. Occasionally, Zhang Tong and a few girls wanted to buy something for him for reference, and he would follow him for a while.
He made an appointment with the master at seven o'clock last night, but the 'Banxianju' was hard to find, so the two of them looked at the store number as they walked.
"There is a noodle shop in front," Yuan Ziqiang asked curiously, "What are you going to buy?"
Xu Sheng was absent-minded: "Isn't the four-school league about to start, I'll buy some competition papers."
Yuan Ziqiang turned to Shao Zhan: "Brother Sheng, what about you?"
Shao Zhan: "Buy with him."
Oh.
Xu Sheng was looking for it, and was dragged by Shao Zhan: "Is it that one?"
Xu Sheng looked in the direction Shao Zhan pointed. At the corner of the intersection, there was a shop far away from the noisy area. The shop was not specially decorated, and the shop name was not even hung. There was only a billboard in front of him, and he wrote "Half" with a brush. Xianju" three words. There is a vague feeling of a high-end store in the world, and it is easy to miss it if you don't pay attention.
Xu Sheng: "It's this one."
But Hou Jun and the others are still here, how are they going to pass now
Xu Sheng was about to slow down and calmly distance himself from Hou Jun and the others, but Shao Zhan moved more simply than him—he directly dragged Xu Sheng into the surging crowd, and by rushing forward from behind. The crowd hid, and in the blink of an eye, they distanced themselves from the people in front of them. After layers of obstructions, Hou Jun turned around and found that the two people behind him had disappeared for some time.
From the crack of the half-closed door of the Banxianju, a curl of green smoke came out.
The lobby is lit with incense.
Pushing open the door, I saw no one. I heard his voice first, and said in a hoarse voice like an old man: "...But when something troublesome happens, I see an unusual aura shrouding the two of you."
The voice said again: "Come in and talk."
The next second, a gust of wind came from out of nowhere, and then with a "pop", the door that had just been pushed closed closed by itself!
