"In the seventh year of digging, what crawled out of the time capsule was not youth, but three 'cadavers' and an unfinished math problem."
When Lin Yan from the Department of Mathematics buried the glass jar under the century-old magnolia tree at University A, he would never have thought that——
Seven years later, on a rainy night in the Cambridge laboratory, he would see Jiang Chao writing in pencil in the margin of Newton's manuscript "The third way to prove the Riemann Hypothesis: You need to go to a place where there are no magnolia trees";
While Chen Xi was restoring ancient paintings at the Auckland Art Museum, gold threads suddenly oozed from the broken red ropes, weaving the knots of the jars on the canvas;
Su Wan returned to the starting point with 100 postmarks, only to find that on the back of the magnolia petals on page 42 of "The Little Prince", there was a sentence that Su Wan had forgotten: "The fourth piece is reserved for the 'disappeared'."
When four people separated by time reunited with aurora, seagulls, red rope and unsent letters, they finally discovered:
That "mathematical lunatic" who teaches high school in Norway, what is engraved on the bottom of the can is not a formula, but "Sorry";
The red string that the art student used to sew together, the stitches together said "Don't go";
As for the little sun that Su Wan had been painting for ten years, its center point always faced 39° north latitude—the window coordinates of Lin Yan's laboratory.
"It turns out that what we thought was goodbye was all the auxiliary lines deliberately hidden in the math problems."
(When the time capsule is reopened, all the unspoken secrets grow into new magnolias in the summer of reunion.)
I just randomly wrote two characters.
