Lang rode a bamboo horse roaring

When Baizhou arrived in Berlin at night, the strict Germans sent a car to pick him up and helped carry the boxes to the dormitory.It's a pity that the driver can only speak German, so it is difficult to say thank you.In the end, Bai Zhouyi could only bow slightly to express his gratitude to the driver.The man with a face as firm as marble nodded to him and left neatly.

Bai Zhou got up all the time, looked at his back as he left, and thought when he closed the door, if it was Lanshan, he would probably be at a loss because of the language barrier.

He thought of Blue Mountain, and he began to think of Blue Mountain again.

The distance between them at the moment is only from Berlin to Paris, and they can see each other in half an hour if they spend [-] euros to buy a cheap airline ticket.

But Bai Zhouyi can't go to see Lan Shan yet, he and Lan Shan have their own things to accomplish.

As soon as Bai Zhou washed up, he looked at himself in the mirror, and acquiesced that the other party would not stop thinking about Lanshan for the time being.

On the second day, Bai Zhou got up early together, and met the senior who came to pick him up at the gate of Mapu Institute.The senior was in the same school as Baizhou for undergraduates in China, and he also stayed in the same school for graduate students. After completing his doctorate in Germany, he stayed at Max Planck to do mathematics research.

When meeting seniors from the same school and major in a foreign country, a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously.The two chatted a few words, and soon got to know each other.

The senior took Bai Zhou to visit the Max Planck Institute, and asked: "You are going to participate in the International Mathematics Forum, right? What is the topic this time? I was so busy a few days ago that I didn't have time to inquire about it."

Bai Zhouyi said: "The Riemann conjecture."

The senior was silent for a while, then patted him on the shoulder: "Come on."

Then he said: "Then you are in the right place. There is a professor who has been obsessed with Riemann's conjecture in recent years. Although he is elusive, you can go to the tea room in Area A and try to block him."

Bai Zhou nodded and said, "Thank you."

The senior took him around, walked around to the seat prepared for the exchange students, and said: "You can come here to study in the future, of course, if you go to the coffee shop or stay in the dormitory, the rules are not so strict... I will wait I have an appointment with the professor, do you have any questions?"

The senior smiled and said, "Although I'm not very good at talking here, there are still some ways to go. Those meeting rooms need to swipe their cards. I'll try my best to get one for you."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Bai Zhouyi said, "I still have a question."

"what?"

"Students here can get a discount for taking the train?"

The senior didn't expect him to suddenly switch to this topic, and he was stunned for a second and said, "Yes, but the relevant procedures are all written in German, and I can help you fill them out if you need them, but it seems that only people who often go abroad do that. Do you want to go out?" ?”

"Yes." Bai Zhouyi said, "Thank you."

"Do you still want the audit card?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, senior." Bai Zhouyi thanked him politely.

When Bai Zhou was getting acquainted with the life of Ma Pusuo, Lan Shan was stalemate on the rock wall, his forehead was wet, and his eyelashes were almost wet with sweat.He stepped on the rock point with the soles of his front feet, and was preparing for the No.30 three-time take-off practice. Just as he was gaining momentum, the coach suddenly frowned and shouted: "Wrong! The center of gravity has moved to the upper body again!"

The tendency to take off was inevitable, but his body stagnated for a moment due to unexpected criticism. Lan Shan jumped up out of balance, gave up catching the upper move, and waited for his fall.

The body crashed into the rock wall due to inertia, and Lan Shan kicked off the wall to keep a safe distance from it.

As soon as he landed and stood firmly, the coach walked over with a tablet in his hands.

The coach's expression was not good. After many months of upper body training, Lan Shan was overly dependent on his arms. The lack of leg training made this even worse. Now that he resumed normal training, he couldn't correct it for a few days.

Lan Shan hung his head, shook off the sweat from his hands, and explained in a low voice: "I can't use my left foot."

"It's not just the problem with the left foot." The coach frowned and showed him the video, "After adding leg strength, your core is too loose. Look here, your hands and feet are exerting force at different times. This is a big problem. .”

Lan Shan hates video replays, just like he hates reading corrected English compositions. Every mistake that is punctuated makes him feel ashamed.

But at this moment, he was looking at the screen seriously, analyzing the uncoordinated movements of his hands and feet.

The coach waited for a while and asked, "Do you understand what went wrong?"

Lan Shan raised his eyes and said, "I probably know."

The coach put away the tablet, stepped back and said, "Try again, and keep your core focused."

Lan Shan nodded and climbed to the jumping point again.

However, "noticing" and "correcting" are completely different concepts.Blue Mountain tried again, but failed again.

Watch the video, get trained by the coach, and start over.

After repeating it three or four times, the coach became a little unhappy.

Problems like uncoordinated hands and feet shouldn't happen to athletes, especially top athletes like Blue Mountain.

This can't be a lack of physical condition, more a psychological problem.

"Blue." The coach called Lan Shan in a serious tone, "If you have been in this state, you may have to consider taking a longer rest. I don't know if there will be a place for you in the field at that time."

Lan Shan was short of breath, as if he had been fished out of the water, his body was very hot, and his face was even hotter.He knew the coach was telling the truth, and no arena would accept an out-of-balance athlete.

Lan Shan pursed his lips, bowed his head and apologized a second later.

He knew it wasn't just his body that was the problem.

He was once a genius, but now he seems to have lost his talent.

Lan Shan knew he was panicking.

He was also out of balance.

Lan Shan, who was not sure what to do, practiced harder. In the next few days, he practiced the movements that others practiced [-] times. He practiced a hundred times or even two hundred times.But despite this, Lan Shan's situation has not improved much. Sometimes when Lan Shan returns to the dormitory and lies on the bed exhausted, he will watch the ceiling collapse.He didn't know when he would recover, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen if he never recovered.

Lan Shan's mental state is getting worse and worse. He tried to hide his depression during the call with Bai Zhouyi, but he was exposed by his keenness.

Bai Zhou asked him what happened.

Lan Shan sighed, he couldn't hide, but he didn't want to talk about it now, so he could only shirk and say we'll talk about it when we meet.

In fact, it was not far from the agreed meeting time.

Both Lanshan and Baizhouyi are very busy. They only have one weekend every two weeks, so they agreed to meet once every half a month, once Blueshan passes by, and Baizhouyi comes over once.

This week is Blue Mountains past.

He bought the train ticket, but he practiced hard that day, and when he stood on the bus to the train station, his legs couldn't help shaking.Probably because Lan Shan was shaking so badly, a French student near the seat couldn't stand it anymore, he hesitated to speak and swept him several times, finally stood up and gave up his seat and said: "I don't know if this will offend you, If you don't mind...please-"

Lan Shan didn't quite understand, but he knew what he meant, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I just... um... my legs."

Before he finished speaking, the bus made a sharp turn, Lan Shan limped and fell heavily on the seat.

Lan Shan sat down in embarrassment, rubbed his sore buttocks, and muttered, "Okay."

The student had a sympathetic expression of "Look", and asked, "Are you going to the train station?"

"Yes."

"Where are you traveling?"

"Go to Berlin and meet your boyfriend."

The petitami (boyfriend) used by Blue Mountain refers specifically to the pronunciation of male nouns. French students recognized it very keenly, and were a little surprised—this handsome lame young man is still a minority group. Romantic love story, when he looked at Blue Mountain again, it was like watching snowflakes falling in a crystal ball. The student said sincerely: "I wish you happiness."

Lan Shan knew he had misunderstood something, but his French level could not explain clearly, so he could only say: "Thank you, I wish you a good day."

As soon as Bai Zhou received Lanshan at the train station in Berlin, his slender fingers turned red from the low temperature in winter, and he couldn't hold his pen steadily.Lan Shan suspected that he deliberately didn't wear gloves to make her feel distressed, and while complaining, helped him warm his frozen knuckles.

Lan Shan thought that Bai Zhou would force him to ask what happened as soon as they met, just like he had insisted not to hide it from him before.But Bai Zhouyi was unexpectedly calm and kept silent on this topic, as if he had forgotten it.

He "forgot", but Lan Shan still remembered that after trying the flavor of the German restaurant together, the two returned to the dormitory.Lan Shan sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak to Bai Zhou who was writing at the desk.

"If I don't climb anymore." He just said something, Bai Zhou put down his pen and looked over, and Lan Shan met his gaze and added, "If, I say if."

Bai Zhou put down his pen: "What happened?"

"My competitive state is not good. You have also seen this year's World Championships. My speed is slow, the difficulty cannot keep up, and I can't even get away with bouldering."

Bai Zhouyi said, "You were injured then."

"I used to think the same way." Lan Shan said, "but now, the doctor said that I was completely recovered, but my physical function still couldn't improve, and the coach said that I couldn't go on like this. Not as good as some 13-year-old newcomers, and in fact I am not as good as them..." Lan Shan opened his mouth easily, but the more he spoke, the heavier it became. It seemed that opening and closing his lips was a very laborious task. He forced a smile and said , "I want to practice again... If it really doesn't work, I may have to give up rock climbing."

Bai Zhouyi said, "But you don't want to."

"Of course I don't want to." Lan Shan said quickly, "but isn't this something that can't be helped... A Lan Shan who can't climb rocks, a person without any talent and strengths, a very ordinary person, People who are even a little worse than ordinary people..."

Bai Zhou interrupted him: "What are you thinking?"

Lan Shan froze for a moment, and said, "I'm not thinking about anything?"

Bai Zhouyi said, "Tell me."

Lan Shan and him looked at each other for a moment, avoiding the determined gaze, and said, "I was wondering...wouldn't it be too embarrassing for me to stand beside you like this."

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Bai Zhouyi with a guilty conscience, waiting for his "lesson".

But Bai Zhou said flatly: "This is your trouble, are you done?"

Lan Shan said, "Yes."

He laughed at himself, "Isn't that miserable enough?"

Bai Zhouyi didn't answer his words, and said lightly: "Then it's up to me."

Lan Shan was taken aback, and said, "Huh?"

"I can't prove the Riemann Hypothesis." Bai Zhouyi stated flatly, "It is currently, and there is a high probability that it will be in the future."

He looked for Lan Shan's eyes and looked at him: "If I fail in the end, will you look down on me?"

"Of course not." Lan Shan flatly rejected it.

"That's it." Bai Zhou relaxed, looked at Lan Shan with an anxious expression, smiled quickly, raised his hand to mess with Lan Shan's forehead hair, and said, "Coffee boy, there is no such thing as a genius or not." , I am not as magical as you think, I am just a smarter ordinary person."

"We are just two ordinary people getting together to talk about an ordinary love."

Lan Shan looked at Bai Zhouyi blankly, he accepted his "ordinary" frankly, and directly admitted his "ordinary".

He was so calm, as if Riemann's conjecture and state imbalance were nothing more than two broken eggs, thrown into the trash can, the owner of the house would not starve to death, but the dinner was a little less meaty.

"As for you saying that if you don't climb rocks, I will be very happy." Bai Zhouyi continued, "Rock climbing is too dangerous. If you give up, I will be very happy instead."

He looked at Lan Shan, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, showing some paranoia that he had never seen before: "I hate everything that may take you away from me, such as rock climbing, especially rock climbing."
