15, Chapter Fourteen

Ningsui has developed rapidly in recent years. The north of the old city has been demolished and replaced with new ones, leaving only a city gate water tunnel in a lonely place. The dilapidated carved buildings in the ancient streets have also been demolished. Now the city center has become Xicheng District .High-rise buildings rise from the ground in Xicheng District, parks are scattered, roads are wide, railway tracks run through it, and heavy and cumbersome green trains go around the mountains and pass through broken walls, galloping past like a long and panting dragon.

The newly opened crab restaurant is located near the old train station. As soon as the two of them entered the door, the train behind them dragged more than a dozen heavy carriages toward the north. As the saying goes, when the autumn wind blows, crab legs will grow fat. There are a lot of crab roe in this season. It's shiny and not greasy.

"What to eat?" Li Jinyu threw the menu to her, "Blue crab or swimming crab?"

"Blue crab bar," Ye Meng was very familiar with this restaurant and said directly without looking at the menu, "The blue crab here is delicious."

He nodded, called the waiter, and took the order. Ye Meng suddenly felt that this impromptu meal was a bit awkward, and looked at each other in silence. Li Jinyu also lowered his head, and neither of them looked at the other person, and they were just minding their own business. Mobile phone later.

Not long after Li Jinyu sat down, he stood up with his cell phone and walked out the door: "I'm going out to take a call."

When he came back, Ye Meng had already put down his cell phone, and followed him as he sat down, naturally cutting into the topic: "Whose phone number?"

"Qiu Maimai." Li Jinyu sat down and put his phone back into his pocket.

"I haven't heard her sing yet," Ye Meng said.

Li Jinyu looked at her: "She has a stay tonight, are you going?"

"Are you going?"

He turned away slightly, looked at the now empty railway track and said, "I will go to the hospital to stay with grandma in the evening."

Ye Meng showed a regretful expression, "Then next time you go to sing, I will go."

He curled up the corners of his mouth helplessly, scooped up the soy sauce and vinegar on the side, and said while pouring it: "Do you have to pester me?"

"Can't we just be friends? Or are you afraid that you will fall in love with me?" Ye Meng took out his mobile phone, pulled out a photo and showed it to him with the screen vertically, "See for yourself, my grandma recently introduced me to a younger brother. He is younger than you, but also more handsome than you."

This is true. The old lady was afraid that she would pack her things and go back to Beijing one day due to her long nights and dreams, so she actually introduced a little brother to her according to her preferences. However, Ye Meng didn’t know what happened recently. This brother obviously matched her previous personality. It's aesthetically pleasing, but she actually thinks it's a bit too cute and boring.

"Put your own chili sauce," Li Jinyu pushed the poured soy sauce and vinegar to her and sneered indifferently, "Then I wish you and this brother a long and lasting marriage."

The waiter brought the crab pot that had been prepared in advance. Ye Meng said thank you and then said to him: "Why did you lie to me just now that there was a power outage? Are you memorizing the password form? You have never been exposed to Morse code before. ?"

Li Jinyu drank Xiaodie soy sauce for himself and looked at her funny: "I'm a singer, why should I study this?"

"Really?" Ye Meng squinted his eyes suspiciously, "But your singing is mediocre, without emotion and skills. If it weren't for your handsomeness, I would have asked the boss to refund the money."

He took a pair of chopsticks and put them on the soy sauce butterfly disapprovingly. He leaned back and said quite confidently, "It's okay if you are handsome."

"You are quite good at relying on your reputation," Ye Meng was amused for a moment, out of curiosity, "I memorized that telegram for a week, but you memorized it in ten minutes? You have never been exposed to these before. ?"

Do you really enjoy studying secret rooms or do you just do it to make money?

You are so smart, why didn't you go to college?

She had a question mark on her forehead, feeling that this younger brother was really mysterious.

The waiter came over to serve the appetizers at this time.

The two of them were sitting in a seat for four. Li Jinyu leaned on the chair and did not move. He put one hand on the back of the chair next to him and waited calmly for the waiter to bring all the dishes. Then he asked quietly: "You Do you know about the Memory Palace?”

Ye Meng was stunned. This term was not unfamiliar. Her former boss Gou Kai was a master of memory palaces. He graduated from University A and was once the champion of the Memory Master Championship. But her memory had never been very good and she was too lazy to study this kind of thing. Things that only top academics will spend their time thinking about.

"I know, my former boss is," she said truthfully, piecing it together based on vague memories, "I heard that he uses the most familiar scenes to remember unfamiliar and new things? It's like having a building of his own in his mind. house, and each room can store a large amount of information?"

Li Jinyu nodded and took back his hand, "It's almost the same, to make it simpler, it doesn't have to be a house, it can be a room, it can be a person, it can even be a photo, as long as it is something you are familiar with, you just need to close your eyes , you can think of it, and when you encounter something that needs to be memorized, you can use your associative ability to correspond them one by one, so that it is very simple to memorize a list in a few minutes."

Ye Meng still felt a little confused and asked: "How to associate it?"

He seemed to have no need to think and gave an example casually: "For example, the number 3, what can you think of?"

"Kiss, both lips." The facial expression uses 3 to mean kiss.

"..." Li Jinyu was speechless for a while, "Don't you think the number 3 looks like a human ear? When you need to memorize content related to the number 3, you can associate it with a human ear. This comparison is suitable for points. Memory. Let’s talk about the most common one - Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory is divided into: 1. Physiological needs, 2. Safety needs, 3. Social needs, 4. Esteem needs, 5. Self-actualization needs. When you need to remember this When talking, you can use associations. The third point is social needs. Socializing does not mean learning to listen with ears, so when you think of 3, think of ears, and then think of socializing.”

"What about 1?"

"Do you need to mention physiological needs?" He put his hands on the back of the chair again and looked at her with a half-smile.

Ye Meng suddenly coughed, "Where's 2?"

Li Jinyu said: "Is 2 like a question mark? You just think, security is always a question mark, so 2 is a security requirement."

"Where's 4?"

"4 is like a squatting person. Most of the people who like squatting have low self-esteem, so we should give them equal respect. Do you need me to say 5?" He smiled.

5 is the simplest, Ye Meng has already thought of it. 5 generally refers to oneself in Internet slang, which is very consistent with the need for self-realization.

"This kind of memory is suitable for fast memory. As long as you combine it with the memory palace in your brain and use familiar scenes to deepen your memory, it is equivalent to a copy machine, and new information will be printed in your mind very quickly." Li Jinyu added .

Ye Meng seemed to have opened the door to a new world. It turned out that this was the correct way to remember: "Are you really just a junior high school student?"

"Do you believe everything I say?" Li Jinyu began to peel the crabs without raising his head.

"So you went to college, right?"

"I went to school but didn't get my diploma and dropped out."

He lowered his head and took a bite of the crab legs, but did not avoid it, as if he was just talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Ye Meng sighed regretfully.

Li Jinyu is very used to it. Most people have this look on their faces when they hear that he dropped out of school.

But Ye Meng complained softly: "If I had known you earlier, maybe I could have passed Jiang Luzhi's exam. God knows I memorized politics until I was bald."

Li Jinyu paused slightly while biting the crab, laughed at himself, took out a tissue, looked at her and said, "Do you have to compete with Jiang Luzhi?"

"Not really," Ye Meng looked at him with resentment in his eyes, "Didn't you say she is prettier than me?"

"There are so many people who are prettier than you, do you want to compare them all?"

Ye Meng was surprised: "Who else?"

Li Jinyu twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.

Ye Meng persisted and asked: "Brother, do you really think Jiang Luzhi is prettier than me?"

He was unhappy, biting the crab leg and said with gritted teeth: "I told you, don't call me brother."

"Okay," Ye Meng stopped teasing him and asked seriously: "So, what is your memory palace? What scene will it be?"

She is very curious.

Li Jinyu refused to talk to her anymore. No matter how Ye Meng teased him, he kept his face straight and said nothing.

The business of the crab restaurant was very good, it was crowded, the fog was hazy, and a few familiar faces could occasionally be seen among the bustle. Li Jinyu saw a few men coming in at the door just now and looking back and forth at them maliciously.

In fact, Li Jinyu had a very strong premonition at that time that he should stand up and leave. He felt that his life might be disrupted by Ye Meng. But looking at the eager eyes of the men opposite, he was afraid of Ye Meng. If she was in trouble, she just leaned on it without moving, her feet were spread out under the table, and her eyes fell lightly on her.

Ye Meng didn't realize it with his back to the door, but still looked at him. Li Jinyu was very impatient and wanted to ask her how many men you provoked outside. Finally, Li Jinyu leaned on the chair, raised his toes, and He gently kicked Ye Meng across from him, and looked at her to remind her to look back.

The two of them didn't know where the tacit understanding came from. Ye Meng read from his eyes not to act rashly, not to attract the other person's attention, and pretended to look back inadvertently. Ye Meng understood and acted very superbly, pretending to drop his chopsticks, and quickly bent down, She turned her head and glanced at the nine o'clock position that Li Jinyu pointed to her.

She turned around quickly and whispered: "I'm actually a little face-blind and can't recognize you. Do you recognize him?"

"They're looking at you."

"I really don't know him," Ye Meng shook his head firmly again, "Is he his ex-boyfriend?"

Li Jinyu leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said with a half-smile: "How many boyfriends have you had, and you don't know how many boyfriends you have? I really can't remember. Call Cheng Kairan and ask, he remembers them better than you." clear."

As soon as he finished speaking, the foggy glass door was pushed open again, and Cheng Kairan appeared at the door wearing a very ill-fitting suit. Cheng Kairan and Li Jinyu are both quite thin, but their temperaments are completely different. He is lean, and he used to be. The malnourished and thin monkey figure cannot support a suit at all. But Li Jinyu is thin and well-proportioned, so he should look great in a suit.

As soon as Cheng Kairan entered the door, someone pointed in this direction. Cheng Kairan looked over and saw the most eye-catching man and woman in the room at a glance.

He immediately walked up to Ye Meng in three steps and two steps at a time, and said quickly: "Why are you two eating here?"

Cheng Kairan has a crush on Ye Meng, and any man can tell that. Li Jinyu is not very familiar with him, but occasionally helps Cheng Kairan's nominal sister with tutoring lessons to earn some extra money. Similarly, Cheng Kairan doesn't pay much attention to him, and some It only took one glance to tell that they were not compatible with each other and that they were not the same people. But Cheng Kairan still gave him enough face in the town.

Li Jinyu didn't think much about it and didn't bother to offend him. He peeled off a crab leg in a hurry and said, "We met while playing in the secret room and had a meal together." He lowered his head and took a bite, glanced at Cheng Kairan casually, and said bastard : "Why, are you afraid that I'll pick up your girl?"

Does this need to be said? Cheng Kairan thought to himself.

Before Cheng Kairan could speak, Ye Meng pretended to be surprised and said to Li Jinyu, as if he was afraid that he would not die quickly enough: "What are you talking about, baby! I am your girl!"
