Hearing the voice next to him, Li Mu was stunned.

Turning his head, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Professor Wiles?"

It was Andrew Wiles, the mathematician who proved Fermat's theorem.

His tall and thin figure, as well as the wise eyes under his glasses, are full of the air of a scholar.

Wiles smiled at him and raised the pen in his hand again: "Take it, this pen has been with me for decades, and when I proved Fermat's theorem, I used this pen to complete the final summary of my thesis, and I should be qualified to be your souvenir." ”

Li Mu was suddenly surprised, "How can this work?" This pen should also be memorable to you. ”

Wiles waved his hand: "It's a memorial to me, but maybe if I give it to you, it will be more meaningful to this pen." ”

"I'm getting old, and maybe I won't have the energy to solve all sorts of math problems like I did when I was younger, so in my hands, it will never be able to regain its glory."

"But if I give it to you, I think there will be another day."

Wiles laughed.

"This ......"

Wiles's words made Li Mu not know how to respond for a while.

He had a feeling that as long as he took over the pen, there would be a kind of inheritance responsibility that came to his shoulders.

And at this time, behind Wiles, another person stepped forward.

"Oh, Andrew, are you really going to give this pen away? I remember buying it from you for $10,000 twenty years ago, and you even turned me down! ”

This person's voice also made Li Mu feel a little familiar, and when he turned his head to look, he said in surprise: "Professor Deligne!" ”

Deligne smiled and nodded at Li Mu, then turned his gaze to the pen in Wiles's hand.

"Can I take a look?"

He asked.

Wiles smiled: "Now this pen belongs to Li Mu, so you need to ask Li Mu's opinion." ”

"That's right." Deligne looked at Li Mu with a smile and asked, "I just don't know if Li Tong disagrees?" ”

"This ......" Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, but under Wiles's smile, he had no choice but to say: "Of course, of course you can watch it." ”

"Thank you." Drinne nodded, then took the pen from Wiles's hand and took a closer look.

"Sure enough, it's this pen, a cap made of 14k solid gold, and even a version of a small crown." Deligne showed an envious expression: "I still have a hard time believing that you have this pen. ”

Wiles smiled: "This is what my teacher gave me back then, otherwise, I wouldn't have been born the year I was born with this pen." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Mu and said, "Although my teacher is not a great mathematician, he is indeed a great mathematician. ”

"So, I'll leave it to you after that."

Li Mu was even more surprised, this fountain pen still has such a long history?

Deligne also handed the pen back to Li Mu at this time, and said with a smile: "Take it." ”

"This pen is Parker 51, the heirloom series, is the most classic style of Parker pen, the starting price was 80 dollars 80 years ago, tsk, tsk, now, this pen can be described as priceless."

"However, Wiles is also right, this pen can only truly reflect his value when it is in your hands."

"It's like a Steinway piano, if a piano master plays it, it will be able to bloom the most beautiful sound, but if it is just some rich people who buy it and put it at home, it will only be a pearl and dust."

Although his words were full of envy, he did not hesitate to stuff it into Li Mu's hand.

"As a piano, even if it is smashed while playing the Symphony of Destiny, it is probably better than being covered with dust, and this pen is no different."

Li Mu finally took the pen, his fingers rubbed it on the pen body, the golden cap, and the black pen body, the smooth surface seemed to be completely different from the old objects of the last century and more than 80 years ago.

It can be seen that it is well protected in the hands of the previous two owners.

Grabbing the pen, he looked up and looked back at Wiles.

"Thank you, Professor Wiles, for this gift, and I'll try to make it shine again."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Wiles smiled with relief, and his face seemed to be relieved.

Then he remembered something, so he took out a delicate pen case from the bag he was carrying, and handed it to Li Mu: "Oh, by the way, there is also this pen case, which is also matching." ”

I accepted all the precious pens, and naturally I didn't care about receiving an extra pencil case.

Li Mu took the pen case with gratitude, and then put the pen into the box.

The flannel that looks very smooth on the inside is believed to protect this pen well.

And Wiles's gaze also closed with the lid of the pen case, and finally retracted his reluctant eyes, and said: "The meeting should begin, let's go, let's go in together." ”

"Okay."

Li Mu nodded.

Walked into Conference Room One.

In the wide hall, there was no stopping chatter.

Before the closing ceremony officially began, all the participants were discussing the harvest of the past few days.

And when Li Mu walked in, many people looked at him, and some of them even pointed at him and talked to the people next to him.

A helpless smile appeared on Li Mu's face.

This is probably a famous trouble.

Then, I sat down with a group of math bigwigs, and the closing ceremony officially began not long after.

AMS President Garñez Donald stepped up to the podium and coughed twice into the microphone to announce the official opening of the closing ceremony.

A large number of awards were also presented at this closing ceremony, and the winners were thrilled and those who missed out were full of regret.

Until the end.

"Originally, in our joint mathematics conference, there would not be an award for a single presentation, but at my suggestion, our organizing committee agreed that we should give a special award to the most outstanding young man in this conference."

"Most Influential Report."

"So tell me, who should this award be given the most?"

Almost in unison, thousands of participants in the audience shouted loudly: "MuLi~~~"

Garnes smiled and looked at where Li Mu was - there was no way, there were so many big guys sitting next to him, which made him extraordinarily obvious.

Li Mu was a little stunned, he thought he was just coming to see the closing ceremony, but he could still get another award?

Wiles next to him smiled and pushed him: "Go up, you will probably experience such things often in the future, get used to it early." ”

Li Mu's face was helpless and surprised.

Then he walked up to the rostrum under the gaze of thousands of eyes.

The certificate in the hand of the Garñez Award was handed to Li Mu: "Congratulations, young man, I had a dream last night, I dreamed that mathematics came to me, and she said that she liked your Valentine's Day gift very much." ”

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled: "Then why didn't you come to me?" ”

Ganez laughed: "That's probably shyness!" ”

"I believe that as long as you give her more gifts in the future, one day, math will also return you with a kiss."
