St. Petersburg first national hospital.

On the white and flawless bed lies a haggard girl. Her beautiful blonde hair has lost its luster and even its original color.

However, the beautiful sleeping face is very peaceful.

Sitting next to the hospital bed, Lu Zhou holds a thick book with a leather cover in his hand, and reads it softly in a steady voice like reading a bedtime story.

"Although the eight page treatise from the former Berlin Academy of Sciences in the small town of bressluntz, Hanover, has completely changed the mathematics of the next century and a half, the God he believes in has not given him eternal life for it."

"Like Abel, the great mathematician, who lived only 39 years, 10 months and 3 days, died on July 20, 1866 in a small lakeside town in Italy."

"According to Dai Dejin, a close friend of his, he still sat under a fruit tree for endless exploration until the day before his death. In his memoirs, he wrote -- "

" when that last moment came, he did not have a trace of struggle and convulsion before dying, but seemed to be watching the separation of soul and body with interest. His wife brought him bread and wine, and he asked her to pay tribute to her family, and said to her: kiss our children. She prayed for him, and he could not speak. When she read of forgiveness of our sins, his eyes looked up to the sky devoutly. She felt that his hands were getting cold. After breathing several times, his pure and noble heart stopped beating... "

"The universe is always unfriendly to the genius who can see the unusual world."

"Wei has been suffering from hope to despair for the rest of his life. In 1959, Nash's speech at Columbia University to prove Riemann's conjecture was regarded as the beginning of his schizophrenia. In the 1970s, Riemann conjecture was regarded as the direct reason for grotengdick to run away from home and live in seclusion for decades... "

“…… However, it is because of these great sacrifices that we can bring the invisible scenery from God's back garden to the world. "

"Whether or not the man who ultimately proved it can become immortal, it is certain that history will remember all the pilgrims holding torches on this pilgrimage. The glory of taking off the crown may only belong to the one who reaches the end, but the glory of human mind never belongs to one person... "

The girl lying on the bed, her eyelashes quivered.

The remaining light in the corner of the eye catches this picture keenly. The boat stops reading, closes the book gently, and looks at the beautiful face that makes people feel sad.

The room suddenly quieted down.

It seems to be curious why the man sitting by the bed didn't continue to read. The sapphire eyes secretly opened a gap, but they were facing up to the boat.

The cheek is getting hot, and finally it can't be installed. The sapphire like eyes are completely opened, and with a few points to avoid the line of sight.

Looking at Willa's small action, Lu Zhou can't help smiling, put the book in his hand on the bedside table, and said.

"When did you wake up?"

Cheek is tiny red, Wei La is a little embarrassed to say: "did you discover?"

Lu Zhou: "I probably found it when I read Professor Riemann's story."

"I'm sorry..."

Looking at the low head of micro pull, the boat didn't care to say.

"It's not something to apologize for."

Hearing this, Vera raised her head and watched him continue.

"No, I mean, I'm sorry My report is going to screw up... "

Looking at the girl with sincere eyes, Lu Zhou smiled lightly and said in a relieved tone.

"If this is the case, you don't have to be sorry. You've done a good job. Most of the scholars present, even me, may not be able to do better than you if I put myself in the same position as you. "

Genius is the patent of a few people, and the courage and perseverance to not yield to fate is the quality of a few people.

If you have both, there is no one.

On this point alone, she could be proud.

The air suddenly fell into silence.

The only sound in the room was the second hand of the wall clock.

The sound of the gear gently fluctuates, as if reading seconds for the little time left in a young life.

However, the boat beside her didn't even show much sadness or sad expression as if she didn't know anything.

I don't know why. Seeing him like this, Willa's heart is quietly relieved.

Emotions are contagious.

Perhaps what she was really afraid of was not the sickle that death had put on her neck, but the people who cared for her, who were suffering together with her in the last time.There is nothing sad about things that cannot be changed.

Life is doomed to have an end from the beginning. For her, this day is just a little earlier.

She was very grateful that mathematics had changed her fate. The gold medal of IMO competition let her get the offer of Berkeley, kept her away from the dim childhood, the bad family and the town full of bad memories, and met so many good people

And the people she loves.

If all starts with mathematics, then it ends here, and it's the repayment of her gift from mathematics.

It seems that such an ending is not bad?

At least in the last moment, she could enjoy the warmth she had never felt before.

As for the promise of the Philippines prize, it doesn't matter.

"That..."

Lu Zhou: "is there anything else?"

With a deep breath, Vera said incoherently in a slightly apologetic voice.

“…… I'm sorry I kept it from you. When I received the doctor's diagnosis, I felt The whole world seems to have collapsed. "

Lu Zhou nodded.

"I understand, but there are some things that you don't need to carry alone."

Vera opened her mouth, trying to explain that she didn't mean to hide it, but at this point, the doctors had informed her to take care of the affairs. She really didn't want to let the people around her and herself suffer from the countdown of life.

But the boat didn't give her a chance to explain.

Because she wanted to say those things, and that so-called expression of gentleness, he already knew.

"Well, let's talk about this topic here. I said that these are not small things to apologize for. It's better to talk about happy things."

“…… Happy things? "

"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, as if by magic, took a stack of papers out of his arms, held them in his hands, shook them gently, and continued in a storytelling tone. "The previous story only talked about half of them. Thanks to the inspiration of a beautiful lady, all the clues were connected in a genius's mind."

"At this moment, the endless exploration has finally come to the end. No matter how many bumps and twists this hundred year journey is full of, in fact, at the moment when we cross the finish line, the scenery we see is basically similar. The only difference is the gifts we can get from the universe, each of which is unique. "

Looking at Wei La, whose expression is stagnant, Lu Zhou smiles and continues in a relaxed tone.

“…… It seems to be out of the question. "

"In a word, I have proved the Riemann conjecture."

Although the academic community has not yet made an evaluation of his paper, since even the future people, or higher civilization, agree with his research, I think there should be no big problem.

However, although this sentence he said lightly, but almost in the moment when he said this sentence, the air in the ward immediately calmed down.

That pair of bright Mou son enlarges gradually, spread a layer of excited water mist gradually.

The slim hands gathered together the sheets, and she subconsciously wanted to stand up from the bed, but because she was too weak, she did not succeed at last, just said with trembling lips.

"Really?"

Seeing the patient's fierce reaction, the nurse who had been standing by without saying a word and waiting hurriedly held her shoulder and looked back at the boat and complained: "Sir, if you really think about this lady's body, please don't say anything to stimulate her. Otherwise, out of consideration for the patient's body, we can only ask you to leave -- "

however, Vera didn't care what the nurse's little sister said there. She couldn't wait to interrupt her words, looked at the boat with excited eyes, and said quickly.

"It's OK, tell me! How do you solve the problem that the curve re (s) = 1-C / ln [| im (s) | + 2] is infinitely close to re (s) = 1 when im (s) →∞? I tried a lot of heavy methods, but at all - "

as if I had expected Willa to say so, Lu Zhou raised her right hand to signal her not to be excited.

"I will tell you, but before that, please calm down. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before I speak, this beautiful lady will drive me out of here. "

The nurse standing beside did raise her chin so much, but maybe it was because of the "beautiful lady" that the corner of her mouth didn't feel up.

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Vera finally calmed down and sat down on the hospital bed with a good face. But the thirst for knowledge, which was written all over her pupils, was still violent and exposed the restless excitement in her heart.

After clearing his throat, Lu Zhou read the paper in his eyes and continued.

"Thanks to your help, I finally understood some places that I couldn't think of originally. And your questions can be answered in this paper. "Willa spoke weakly and whispered her request.

"Can you read it to me?"

Lu Zhou: "no way."

The sapphire like eyes wrote grievances, and the voice became smaller.

"Then You can show it to me. "

Lu Zhou: "no way."

Can't believe to open eyes, Vera looked at the boat, don't understand to say.

"Why?"

Staring at the sapphire eyes, Lu Zhou said in a serious tone.

"Unless you promise me something, after that, whether you want to see it yourself or let me read it to you, I will satisfy you."

Her eyes were full of confusion, Willa said.

“…… What's the matter. "

With the little girl's eyes fixed on her, at last, Lu Zhou was ruthless, restrained the impulse to share the joy with her immediately, and put away the paper in her hand.

"Come to Beijing with me."

"I'll tell you when I get there."
