Chapter Seventy-One: Sherlock or Sherlock?

There are many things in the world, and the interest in pursuing them is always stronger than the interest in enjoying them. - Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

————————————————————————

The breeze blew through the green canopy of the laurel tree, casting the shadows of the trees on the grass, Cheng Mo walked into the shadow of the hundred-year-old laurel from the three beauties, and sat down in the old place.

It would be incorrect to say that Cheng Mo is not attracted to beautiful women at all, after all, it is sexual attraction, which is the instinct of the deep human soul. Cheng Mo's coldness is based on the pressure of survival and full self-knowledge, and not doing meaningless things is a characteristic that Cheng Mo has had since he was a child.

His ready-to-stop body tells him that he must use himself to the best of his ability and refrain from unrealistic thoughts.

Yan Yitong followed Cheng Mo to the shade of the tree, and when he saw Cheng Mo sitting down, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, spread them all out and spread them on the grass beside Cheng Mo, and then sat down too, bent her slender waist, bent her knees, and then put her explosive head on her knees and said, "Hey!Sherlock, let's get to know each other - my name is Yan Yitong, you can call me Tong Tong..."

Cheng Moli ignored Yan Yitong, took out a copy of the original English version of "The Mysterious Universe" with a black back cover and blue earth in a corner from his dark brown backpack, took out his headphones and put them on, and began to read.

looks like me now, you can't climb high, and you don't look good at all.

Yan Yitong didn't expect Cheng Mo to be so ruthless, he glanced at the original English book in Cheng Mo's hand, and said in his heart: Pretending to be indifferent and high-minded, he actually cares about the opinions of outsiders, right?

Cheng Mo really didn't deliberately use the English version to pretend to be B, but because he has been reading books about the universe recently because of the carrier, he determined that the carrier does not belong to the technology of human beings themselves, so he needs to understand some information from other aspects, and this book written by the famous mathematician and physicist James Kings in 1930 has no Chinese translation at present, so Cheng Mo can only read the original English version.

Yan Yitong's personality of not being afraid of heaven and earth, how could he let Cheng Mo, the "prey", have the upper hand, so regardless of whether he is polite or impolite, whether he is good or not, he reached out and took off Cheng Mo's headphones and put them in his ears, wanting to lead Cheng Mo to talk to her, even if it was a quarrel.

As a result, Yan Yitong just put the headphones into her ear, and suddenly there was the sound of rain beating gently in her eardrum, which was different from any music she imagined, which made her a little surprised, she also likes to listen to the sound of rain when she sleeps, but unlike Cheng Mo, she simply listens to the sound of rain, she usually listens to pure music with the sound of rain.

At this moment, she heard the sound of pure rain for the first time, and felt very amazing, only the sound of rain and faint thunder in her ears, the thunder was like an airplane crossing the sky, slightly harsh, but it can make people ignore the noisy environment, the rain is flowing endlessly, close your eyes and let you see a brightly lit house on the deep blue winding coast.....

Yan Yitong didn't speak, just listened quietly, and Cheng Mo didn't pay attention to her, so the two of them sat under a laurel tree with a huge canopy and said nothing, as if they were in an empty wilderness with no one around, surrounded by bonfires and tents, and there was only a vast rain curtain as far as the eye could see, and with the rain blown by the cold wind, Yan Yitong raised his head, as if he could see two birds hovering in the wind and rain.

Yan Yitong could see Cheng Mo's cold and lonely face like a bronze sculpture when he turned his head sideways, which made the raindrops in the eardrum even more frozen, at this moment, she inexplicably had a string in her heart, and it was gently plucked, like a midnight bell crossing twelve o'clock, and like the light in a dark room was turned on.

At this time, Yan Yitong didn't know that this was the so-called "heartbeat" feeling, thinking that it was just the right version of the music in the headphones.

Yan Yitong said: "Hey! Sherlock.... What kind of book are you reading?"

Cheng Mo ignored her.

"Why do you have to hand in blank papers for the exam?"

Cheng Mo ignored her.

Yan Yitong pushed Cheng Mo's arm and said, "Who do you think is beautiful, Xie Minyun or Cheng Xiao?"

Cheng Mo still ignored her.

Yan Yitong blinked his eyes and said, "You talk to me, I'll pay for ......"

Cheng Mo, who was turning the page, said lightly: "My fee is not cheap!"

Yan Yitong gritted his teeth and said, "Whatever you offer....."

Cheng Mo thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what you want to talk about..... Literature and history are cheaper, 1,000 hours an hour, science is more expensive, 1,500 hours an hour, and if it is a study, it is more expensive 2,000 hours an hour..... But definitely good value for money....."

Yan Yitong pretended to make a fuss and said, "Your fee is too expensive, right?"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "If you are too expensive, you can go to the street to find those fortune tellers, there are fortune tellers on the streets and alleys who are professional in looking at your faces, you only need to pay money to speculate on your past and present lives, you can know that you have been five hundred years before and after, the price is not expensive, and it will definitely meet your requirements." ”

Yan Yitong grinned and said, "Hey, didn't you tell you to become a half-immortal, so you want to slap me like this?"

Cheng Mo said: "If you continue to only chat, if you don't pay any money, I will block you permanently!"

Yan Yitong said: "What is the permanent blackout method?"

Cheng Mo turned another page and looked at the book and said, "I won't respond to anything you say." ”

Yan Yitong puffed out his cheeks like a xiaolongbao, and said angrily: "You are really an out-and-out Charlotte....." Sherlock here is naturally not Charlotte Holmes, but Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" is known as one of the four misers in world literature, Shylock, Shakespeare's Shylock is stingy to the extreme, a usurer, a rich Jewish businessman, vicious and greedy.

Cheng Mo didn't talk nonsense with Yan Yitong at all, and began to count down: "3.....2....."

Yan Yitong's eyes rolled, and he interrupted Cheng Mo with a smile: "You have to give me a discount, or I will tell Du Leng that you are the 'running fat man' who has been brushing the first place on the list, but he has found several people to brush the questions on the list, in order to compete for the first place and tear Xie Minyun off the list..."

Cheng Mo heard Yan Yitong's threat, closed the book expressionlessly, and said, "I'll give you one last chance..... Seven-fold ..... If you're going to threaten me with something like that, then whatever you want..."

Yan Yitong squatted up from the ground, clasped his hands on his knees and faced Cheng Mo and said, "Okay, if you don't believe me, I can hook up with you....."

Cheng Mo said: "No, what do you want to talk about?"

"Whatever..... Nonsense.... Talk about whatever comes to mind!"

Cheng Mo frowned and said, "I'm not good at billing if you're like this......"

Yan Yitong blinked his eyes and said, "Then compromise, and charge according to the 1,500 learning points of the science class......

Cheng meditated for a while and said, "A seven-fold discount is 1050 learning points..... Pay first, if you want to talk for two hours, you can give a discount of fifty learning points per hour...."This kind of income is about the same as the income he earns from working in a bar with a carrier, and Cheng Mo feels that it is worth it to delay his study.....

Yan Yitong said: "Okay, but you have to answer the question I asked...."

Cheng Mo said: "As long as I know the answer, I will answer ....."

Yan Yitong took out his mobile phone and transferred it to Cheng Mo for two hours, and Cheng Mo said: "No matter how much it takes less than two hours, if you take the initiative to stop the conversation, you won't ......retreat from learning."

Yan Yitong rolled his eyes and said, "You're really a Sherlock ......"
