The Seventh Calculation

Mathematics can calculate probabilities, deduce people's hearts, and plan optimal paths—these are the six calculations Su Xi uses to control his life. She could calculate thirteen solutions to the final question of the competition, how long it would take for her mother to be hospitalized next, and how to use distance and reason to isolate all emotional risks, but she couldn't figure out the seventh one... On the first day when Fu Chenyuan transferred to another school, he only glanced at the problem-solving steps she had written on the margin. "It's beautiful," he said, "but you're using the most complicated algorithm and avoiding the simplest variable—yourself." He broke into her carefully laid out life like a tyrannical formula. When she finally became a detective as she wished and thought everything was back under control, an old unsolved case weaved all the clues back to her past: her father's death, her mother's torn photos, her brother's secret transactions... And Fu Chenyuan's true purpose that has never been revealed. When her comrades fell and her friends betrayed her, she became a fugitive, and the only person beside her was the man she once tried so hard to push away. "Su Xi," he held her hand in the darkness, his voice as calm as an algorithm, but scorching hot, "If the first six calculations have failed - do you dare to try the seventh one? A solution that does not require proof and is only about choice." The choice is often: after calculating all the risks, I still move towards you firmly.
