CHAPTER XLIV

In the quiet bedroom, everything is wiped exceptionally clean, without the slightest extra sound, even the sound of breathing is slow and long, and the sound of the clock is extraordinarily loud, and every "click" sound is like a knock on people's hearts, urging people to hurry up for the next second.

Wang Zhili sat down on the chair as straight and silent as he meditated, looking at the picture frame and the toothless boy in the center of the neat tabletop as if he were meditating.

He squinted his eyes and said softly, "This is a gift from my mother, I hope you can like it, if you like it, would you like to meet my mother?" ”

"Hiss" Wang Zhili gasped between his teeth, "It's too blunt." ”

Place your hands on your knees and tap your index finger to your little thumb on your leg in quick turn.

He scratched his chin, rolled his eyes, and deepened his voice, "My mom gave you this thing so you could meet her." I hope you are more knowledgeable. ”

He scratched his hair, "No, no, another one." ”

He changed his normal tone, "Do you like this gift?" ”

pinched his throat again and deliberately screamed, "I like it." ”

"This is a gift from my mother, since you like this gift, you will definitely like my mother, my mother wants to know you, you can meet her."

"Oh, no, no, no." Wang Yili lifted the collar of his turtleneck sweater and wrapped his face in it, he was so sad that he was dying, and the collar of the sweater wrapped his mouth and said in a sullen voice, "Oh, what do you say?" ”

"I'll pick the second one." A clear male voice came from the door, and he said in a rough voice like Wang Zhili, "My mother gave you this thing to let you meet her." I hope you are more knowledgeable. ”

Wang Zhili was thinking coldly when he heard a call from outside the sky, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't bounce off the top of the stool.

The person at the door was wearing a thick stick knitted twist red sweater, wearing a little red riding hood happily, and his big gray-blue eyes were full of serious looking at Wang Zhili.

Wang Zhili glared at him, "Dressed like this?" This year, Santa Claus pulls the cart without fawns and sled dogs? After finishing speaking, he reacted that the point was not here, "Why are you eavesdropping on me?" ”

Jesus came in and sat down on his bed and said, "I was wrong, but I think the second one is very manly!" ”

Wang Zhili said with a puzzled face, "Really? ”

Jesus nodded earnestly, "Of course, no one can refuse you. They don't give people a chance to reject you at all. ”

Wang Zhili nodded suspiciously, "Then what did you say when you asked Qin Ran to meet with your mother before?" ”

Jesus sat down on the bed and bounced up and down twice, patting the mattress with his hand, "I haven't seen it." He thought for a while and said, "Give Ran Ran a gift, he is not a woman, and I don't need to ask my mother, they have never met." ”

Wang Yili leaned his head back on the back of his chair, "I'm starting to regret that I went to church with you during your coming-of-age ceremony. ”

Jesus sat cross-legged on the bed, his chin in his hands and his elbows propped up on the crooks of his legs, and thought for a moment, "Didn't you just go with me once?" After saying that, his eyes widened in shock, "You won't make a wish, will you?" You wouldn't wish the child you met as a child was a girl, would you? ”

Wang Zhili stared at Jesus with wide eyes, "You... Are you kidding me? I'm an atheist! ”

When did that happen? He remembered that Jesus was fifteen years old that year, and that he was just a few days away from the bar mitzvah.

Jesus wanted a Fornasetti plate, he was obsessed with medieval Renaissance paintings, and he liked Michelangelo the most, and most of Michelangelo's paintings were about Christianity.

According to the line of thought that Jesus said to Wang Zhili at that time, it is.

Go to the church, there is Jesus in the church, Jesus was painted by Michelangelo, Michelangelo will bless him to receive a plate.

Anyway, not only is the thinking confusing but also unfounded......

Wang was 18 years old at the time, and in 2013, his favorite author, Alice Munro, won the Nobel Prize for Literature, so he remained extremely talkative and responsive from October to December.

This state of affairs was maintained so that Jesus, who was once unreligious, quietly asked several priests to see if the kid was a ghost......

So when Jesus told Wang to let him drive him to the church three kilometers away, he agreed without even thinking about it.

There was no snow that day, and there were few cars on the road, so it was just a smooth journey.

The two of them reached the Episcopal Church of Our Lady of Amudena without hindrance, the only church in Spain that has been consecrated by the Pope.

It's already afternoon when I arrive, and there are very few tourists in this season, and there is basically no one to come, and I haven't caught up with the service, so the locals seem to be Jesus and Wang Zhili... And a priest...

The place of prayer in the church, with neat rows of chairs, he sat on the left side, behind Jesus.

On the right side was a tall and thin girl, dressed in black, covered from head to toe, revealing only a pair of slender white hands and a few strands of black hair outside her hat.

Wang Zhili has always felt that it is not interesting to come to this kind of place, and his brain has already slipped to that girl to see what she is doing.

At first, the girl just closed her eyes and stretched out a pair of hands to hold together in front of her forehead, and after a while, she took out a book, which was "The Theory of the Law of Energy Distribution in the Normal Spectrum", the book was not very thick, it had been turned over, and the sides were faintly blackened.

The girl took out a small finger-sized bust of Planck from her pocket and pressed it against the book.

"Chinese?" Wang Zhili thought, "I really want to go over and say hello." ”

Thinking like this, he moved in the direction of the girl, still sitting on the left side, he walked to the closest position to the girl and only separated by an aisle, and asked in a low and tentative voice, "Hello?" ”

The girl was taken aback, looked up at him, most of her face was covered by a mask, and the big eyes exposed outside looked at Wang Zhili for a while before she came back to her senses and whispered, "Hello." ”

Wang Zhenli smiled and said, "You are also Chinese?" ”

The girl nodded a little shyly and said, "Hmm." ”

Wang pointed to her book, "Lutheranism? ”

The girl didn't seem to expect that he knew that the book was written by Planck, nor did she know that Planck was a Lutheran believer, her eyes were crooked, as if she wanted to smile happily, but she was very restrained, only smiled a little, and then took it back.

"Do you like Max Planck too?"

"Average." Wang Zhili pursed his lips, looking a little disdainful, "If the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 was for general relativity, not quantum theory, I would have preferred him." ”

The girl turned her face to look at him carefully, glanced at the priest who had just heard the sound and looked this way, and she said in a low voice, "In 1905, Einstein wrote a paper on his understanding of the relativity of motion and submitted it to the famous German physics journal "Annals of Physics". At that time, the editor-in-chief of physics journals in Germany was responsible for the manuscripts, and the editor-in-chief of this journal was Planck, the proposer of quantum theory. And in 1912, under the impetus of Planck and others, the theory of relativity gradually spread. She frowned and whispered as if talking to herself, "They're good friends, you shouldn't say that." ”

Wang Zhili was stunned for a moment, and then answered, "When Planck was the president of the University of Berlin, he also invited Einstein to Berlin and established a new professorship for Einstein in 1914. It is really not easy to meet such good friends with mutual support between academics. ”

The girl seemed to have a headache, she rubbed her eyebrows a little nervously, and after hearing what Wang Zhili said, she shook for a while before she said, "You like the theory of relativity, I like quantum theory." ”

The girl paused, and pulled out a statue of Einstein from her pocket that was about the size of Planck's bust in her hand.

The hands held the bust of Einstein in the palm of the hand and handed it to the top of the aisle, and the hand stopped there, and she said, "It's been a long time since I've spoken so much to anyone, and I'm really glad to meet you today." ”

Wang Zhili looked at the statue and then looked at Qin Ye, and after a while, he restrained the smile on his face, solemnly took the statue, and said very seriously, "Thank you, I'm also very happy." ”

The girl packed up her things and got up to leave, and when she put the book into her school bag, the side of the book was slightly spread out, and at the footer of the first page, two Junxiu characters were written with a light blue pen - Qin Ye.

It took a while for the king to recover from the conversation he had just had, and he glanced at Jesus on the cross directly above the church.

I began to pray unconsciously, hoping that the boy I met when I was a child and brought me food every day would grow up to be like the girl I just met.

When he heard his own heart, he was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before he muttered, "What am I doing here?" ”

"Well, do you still have this statue of Einstein?" Jesus reached out and picked up the knick-knacks that Wang had placed on the table.

This sentence suddenly brought Wang Zhili back to reality.

He rubbed his nose and casually replied with an "um".

Jesus rolled his eyes and said, "This thing, there is one on the table, it looks quite similar to this material of yours." The pattern is like, too. ”

Wang Zhili listened to his chatter, and snatched the thing back, "You can see that look in your eyes, a mouthful of phlegm on the ground as a diamond ring, and your face is talking about it?" ”

Jesus scratched his head indifferently, "yes. ”

As he was talking, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and Wang Zhili glanced at Jesus, "Your mobile phone rang." ”

"Oh," Jesus said, pulling it out of his trouser pocket and glancing at it, "It's a video call from Mom." ”

"Alas! Don't pick it up! It was too late for him to speak.
