dear archimedes

Chapter 8 Archimedes' Fairy Tale (8)
But Zhen Ai thought it was cute.She fantasized that his impenetrable head was like the library at the moment, with tall books rising straight into the sky.There lived a little man, diligently sorting out his memory.

A thought flashed across her mind, ripples on the lake surface like a breeze, she couldn't say it, couldn't grasp it:

"Then, after many years, you won't forget me, will you?"

His left hand holding the pen was white and slender, he paused, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his black eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes, and said calmly: "I won't forget...but I probably won't remember either."

Everything he has seen, there is no such thing as forgetting, it all depends on whether he is willing to recall it and search for it in his memory.

If you are a passerby in the future, of course you won't think of it.

Zhen Ai's heart was as calm as before, and a smile appeared on her lips: He is really a guy who can speak straight.

Yan Su recovered the password based on his memory: "Can you understand the Morse code?"

Zhen Ai did not speak, took his paper and pen, and wrote on the paper: "DELF BEN AGUST 150 250 0441 2!"

Yan Su watched her finish writing, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly: "In the beginning, I used the first letters of these three words as keywords, and the English language looks like a person's name, and the number looks like a Chinese mobile phone number.

Subsequent numbers are replaced by letters.The reason why it is divided into three paragraphs is because some letters represent numbers with tens digits.For example, 15, it may be the first letter A and the fifth letter E, or it may be the 1th letter O.So the number 5 after 15 is to indicate that this letter is not a single digit. "

Zhen Ai: "So 150 is the 15th letter O, and 250 is the 25th letter Y?"

Yan Su raised his eyebrows: "I don't need to explain the rest, do you?"

"The remaining 0441 specially put 0 at the front to distinguish it from the first two numbers, indicating that the letters this time are all single digits. It is deliberately written as 441 instead of 144 or 414, because there are only 26 English letters. .So 0441 represents DDA. The 2 exclamation marks marked behind are to be recalculated twice."

Zhen Ai wrote on the paper, "So the current letter is DELF BEN AGUST, plus two OYDDA." The tip of the pen in her hand paused, she looked up at him, and asked, "Do you want to use letters to transpose?"

He raised his head suddenly, just in time to meet his face that was close at hand.

Seeing her bowing her head to draw a picture, he bullied her over to give pointers, but he didn't expect her to raise her head without warning, their faces were only five fingers apart.

Zhen Ai was stunned, blinking her eyes, there was a piano behind her, and she had nowhere to retreat.

His breath tickled her face unhurriedly, but before he could react, his eyes were as clear and clean as an autumn ginkgo forest, and he stared at her without blinking for a moment.

She could clearly see her tiny shadow in his light brown pupils, but she couldn't see her face clearly, whether it was red or not.

Yan Su didn't think there was any problem, until he felt the warm and soft breath of the girl's breath, he realized that the distance was not right.He backed away slowly, completely sat down in the chair, his face was not red, but he had a sense of stagnation.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the paper in Zhen Ai's hands, and said with a slightly stiff tone, "Well, the letters have changed."

Zhen Ai put the weirdness just behind her mind: "Let me try."

"Let's save time." He suddenly resumed his arrogant tone, and said the answer directly, "dead body at SFU, golden day." SFU is Sorrel Fraser University, golden day, dead body of the university.

"Golden day? Some places think that the last day of leap month in leap year is golden day."

"So the death code I mentioned earlier, is it clear?"

Zhen Ai was very interested, the password was so interesting.It looks simple now, but it was not so easy when I first found the clue.If it wasn't for Yan Su's reminder, she would have thought for a long time, "You are really good, this kind of password is a piece of cake for you, right?"

"Many times, there are many different solutions to a cipher. That's why I say it's not a death threat."

Zhen Ai was puzzled: "Someone has already died, it has been verified."

"There's a logic problem here." Yan Su crossed his hands and put his fingers on his chin, narrowing his eyes slightly, "There are too many simple numbers and letters to solve the code. Therefore, there must be a conventional agreement between the sender and the receiver." The decryption method is convenient for communication. So, if the recipient is also the deceased, she understands the death threat and knows that someone is coming to kill her. She is also leisurely waiting to die in the dormitory, which shows that she regards death as home to a certain level.

If the deceased cannot understand the threat, the sender has painstakingly created a code that the recipient cannot understand, which means that the person has reached a certain level of boredom and emptiness.It turns out that this password is not a death threat. "

Zhen Ai suddenly realized that she was indeed a logician.She couldn't help sighing after he made such a fuss.

His crossed index fingers patted the back of his hand regularly, like a butterfly flapping its wings, "I thought your roommate would be against you that day, and I preconceived it as a death threat. But at any time after that, I didn't think it was It's a threat."

"what is that?"

Yan Su looked at Zhen Ai lightly, "I'm thirsty."

"Ah?" Zhen Ai listened with gusto, but was suddenly interrupted, and stared at him blankly.

Seeing her slightly confused, Yan Su asked abruptly, "What's the speed of the sound?"

Zhen Ai said: "346 meters per second."

"I ran down the mountain to what I just said, but you haven't reacted yet."

Slow response to being laughed at again.

"346 is when the temperature is 25 degrees, now 5 degrees, only 336 meters per second... still faster than you."

He was also ridiculed for being bad at physics.

Zhen Ai got up to pour water.

It wasn't until he drank half a glass of water slowly that he took the pen and paper from Zhen Ai's hand, held the eraser, and erased the analysis just now, leaving only the original name and phone number: "I thought it was complicated before. , Letters are letters, and numbers are numbers. You only look at the letters first, and see if you transpose DELFBENAGUST?"

"Feb" With the discussion just now as a foreshadowing, Zhen Ai first thought of February, and the rest was...

She was shocked and surprised: "Angel Dust!"

Yan Su's eyes gradually deepened: "You also know Angel Dust?"

Zhen Ai's heart skipped a beat, but she explained in a nonchalant manner: "Isn't it just Pusipu? I did a news investigation on psychedelic drugs before, so I understand."

She knew more than that, she also knew that the professional name of Pusip was phencyclidine.But she couldn't figure out how Jiang Xin could be related to drugs:
"What about the numbers?"

"Three words correspond to three numbers. Angel150 is a bar; dust corresponds to 250 grams; Feb corresponds to 01442, number 29."

Zhen Ai said slowly: "The original meaning was to bring 2 grams of Angel Dust to the Angel29 bar on February 150th."

Yan Su glanced at her casually: "You're really smart."

"I can tell you're laughing at me."

Yan Su turned the water glass in his hand: "Your roommate, I forgot what her name is. She has been busy and rich in recent months, and she is most likely involved in drug trafficking."

Zhen Ai subconsciously bit the glass: "I also think that girl is weird...uh, her name is Jiang Xin."

Yan Su raised his eyes, and saw her small teeth biting his glass, and fell silent with a frown, wanting to say, "I think you're a weird girl... Uh, your name is Zhen Ai." But he In the end, he turned his eyes away and ignored her strange little movements.

After discussing the case, there is nothing else to say.In the quiet library room, the two faced each other, each holding a glass and drinking slowly, a little subtle.

Owen came back from a walk, and talked to Yan Su about the scenery in the mountains, saying that there is a stream with good water, and when the snow melts in spring and the water rises in summer, a large number of salmon will swim upstream.

Zhen Ai didn't sleep well the night before, so she went upstairs first.This time without Marie's guidance, she got lost.

The corridors on the second floor of the castle extend in all directions and twist around, and all corridors look similar.Zhen Xiai thought he had found the room several times, but turned the lock and couldn't open it, so he had to search again.

Fortunately, after a few tries, she finally found the right one. There was no pajamas after taking a shower, and she went to bed wrapped in a towel.After lying down for a while, she found that in the darkness, her heart was extremely peaceful.

This strange place inexplicably gave her peace.

She huddled under the quilt with a slight smile, climbed out of bed and took out the sleep aid Owen bought for her from her pocket, swallowed two and lay down comfortably.

Yan Su stayed up late reading, and when he went back to his room to take a shower, he found that the bathroom was wet as if it had been cleaned not long ago.And the towels were missing.Go to the mirror and open it, the other toiletries are still in the cabinet.

Where are the bath towels?He stood on the spot and looked around, puzzled.It was too late to ask Marie, so I took a spare.Coming out of the bright bathroom, his eyes couldn't adapt to the dark bedroom, but he knew it clearly, found the bed with his eyes closed, lifted the quilt and lay down on it, and fell asleep peacefully.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Yan Su's sleep began to loosen, like a feather, fluffy, tickling his face.

He is a person who gets up all the time and is very angry. He opened his eyes very dissatisfied, but in an instant, all the drowsiness turned into ashes and flew to the moon.

Zhen Ai's sleeping face was peaceful and peaceful, close at hand, the girl's face was so clear and almost transparent under the moonlight, and he could clearly smell her fresh fragrance, the same fragrance as his own.

She touched his soap and used his bath towel, could it be his smell?
Seeing someone with the same smell as himself, Yan Su frowned dissatisfied.

After a long while, he sat up slowly, pursed his lips, looked gloomy in his eyes, and silently looked sideways at her: No wonder I couldn't sleep well, it turned out that there was a female hormone volatilizer lying beside me, which interfered with my physiological system.

He was very sure that she was responsible for this incredible situation.

But the culprit slept peacefully, his long black hair was scattered on the pillow, lining his small face as bright as a crescent moon; his delicate shoulders were also exposed, and his collarbone was slender.

Yan Su looked at her silently for a few seconds, but his heart was strangely calm.

He thought that her sleeping naked was his approval, and thought to himself that he was really kind, so he resisted the urge to kick her off the bed. Finally, he didn't know who he was competing with, and said to himself, " This is my bed."

After speaking, he actually lay down and continued to sleep peacefully.

Zhen Ai had a good night's sleep.

But when she woke up in the morning, seeing Yan Suan sleeping peacefully beside her, she blinked her eyes a few times, but the handsome side face of that person did not disappear.Her mind went blank, before she could figure out what was going on, Yan Su woke up.

He opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed them as usual, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

The moment he sat up, as if thinking of something, he quietly pulled the towel from the side of the bed and tied it around his waist, stood up and turned around, and said very frankly: "I almost forgot you were here."

Zhen Ai didn't think about the picture of him usually getting up naked, but captured the meaning of it: "You knew I was here last night?"

Yan Su didn't realize that it was a question, but thought it was a statement, so he said, "I knew it last night, but I forgot it just now. Maybe, you should learn the sense of presence like me."

Zhen Ai was speechless: "I knew I was here last night, so you still sleep here?"

Yan Su looked at her quietly: "Because you ran to the wrong room, should I go to the wrong room too? Because you slept on the wrong bed, I couldn't sleep in my own bed. Why should I punish myself for your mistake?"

Zhen Ai knew that his brain structure was different, but she still held her breath in her heart. The key was that she knew that arguing with him would not lead to good results.She racked her brains for a long time, then gritted her teeth and stared at the towel around his waist provocatively: "No need to cover it up, I've seen it a lot. Men's bodies are nothing unusual to me."

Yan Su's eyes fluctuated, and he said lightly, "So you are the same as Police Officer Diaz. Don't worry, when I die, I will donate my body to a scientific research institution. Let you see enough."

Zhen Ai: "..."

She failed to provoke and suspected of revealing her identity.Zhen Ai went crazy for the first time, wrapped herself in a bath towel angrily, and crawled out of bed to look for clothes. She couldn't help but say, "Weird people live in weird houses, how can normal people find the right room."

"I blame my house for being stupid. As a human being, you should know that you are a creature that can remember. Wherever you go, you can form a flat road map in your mind."

Zhen Ai was extremely speechless, his words were challenging all the road idiots in the world, even though she was not a road idiot. "Just because you're weird doesn't mean everyone is!"

Yan Su calmly ironed: "Oh, I can find my room because, like a pigeon, I have a magnetic field sensor installed in my head."

At the end, he said shamelessly, "You are stupider than pigeons, because pigeons will never flop and fly into a pot where human beings are frying chicken."

Zhen Ai sat at the dining table and ate the slices of bread viciously, occasionally turning her eyes to glance at Yan Su, who was sleeping on the dining table.Owen came over and sat down, and asked him, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yan Su didn't move, and lay quietly on his stomach. A second later, his left hand, which was originally resting on his forehead, lifted up, made a circular motion around his elbow, turned 120 degrees, and pointed at Zhen Ai.

Zhen Ai was startled, looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was awake or asleep.After a second, he said sullenly: "I was harassed by the female hormones emitted by this person all night."

Zhen Ai didn't feel it before, but now that she told Owen in front of her, she couldn't help feeling a little hot.

"I just said that female creatures will affect the balance of my family."

Owen was baffled, only thinking that he had lost his temper again, and smiled apologetically at Zhen Ai.

Yan Su was still lying on his stomach, but with his left hand he found the position of the butter knife accurately, and dug out a piece of butter from the box.

Zhen Ai and Owen turned their heads at the same time. He was still sleeping, but the knife found a slice of bread, and spread it layer by layer, evenly and thinly.After a few strokes, the white bread was covered with a light yellow coating like gold leaf.

Zhen Ai glanced at the different shades of butter on her slice of bread, and was speechless, how can there be such a person, everything becomes art in his hands?

After breakfast, Yan Su went for a walk, walked to the door, suddenly backed away, and called Zhen Ai to go with him.

Zhen Ai felt that the temperature in the mountains in the morning was too low, and when they woke up they obviously had a small disagreement, so she didn't want to go.Ke Yansu directly ordered Marie to find her a pair of snow boots.

Marie brought them quickly, and she was very enthusiastic: "These shoes are very clean and very warm."

Zhen Ai then thought about his personality of being a loner, and now she was asked to go for a walk with him by name, only as a gesture of friendship, and she was able to survive psychologically.

The snow in the mountains has not melted, and occasionally a dry branch or dark green evergreen branch is exposed on the silver treetops.The sun in the winter morning is thin and dull, and there is a layer of veil-like mist in the air, reflecting the morning light like fine sand from time to time.

The two walked in the snow, one in front of the other, without talking to each other. Except for the rustling of snow that was out of step, the world was so quiet that there was no sound.

The air in the mountains is mellow and clear, like freshly melted spring water, refreshing the body when inhaled.Although Zhen Ai was afraid of the cold, she trudged through the ankle-deep snow for more than ten minutes, and her body was as warm as holding a hot water bottle.

Yan Su's pace was relatively fast, and after walking for a while, Zhen Ai was thrown away by tens of meters, without urging or turning back, he just stopped and waited for her without any notice.

Every time Zhen Ai raised her head, she saw his black figure standing out in the silver snow field, restrained and quiet, like a silent tree.

She knew that he was waiting for her, so she couldn't help speeding up her pace, panting, the white breath of her breath flailing in the air; but when she was still four or five meters away from him, he opened his long legs again and continued walking silently OK.

Often times, always.

After walking around, the walk ended without saying a word.

When he approached the castle, he suddenly asked for no reason: "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold." Only then did Zhen Ai realize that the temperature outside was several degrees below zero, and she didn't feel cold. A thought flashed through her mind, as if she understood something.

Yan Su said: "The best way to increase Yang Qi is to exercise, such as walking in the morning, running and swimming."
