I almost touched the moon

Under the starry night sky, two figures hugging each other tightly were reflected. In the darkness, his kiss was particularly gentle and tender, without even the taste of lust, just a pure kiss of love to the extreme. Under the reflection of the stars, it was silent and gentle.

"Sister..." Cheng Che left her lips, but still held Wen Song tightly in his arms. He was so moved that his eyes were wet, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, making him look even more handsome.

"Is this the birthday present you gave me? I like it very much. Sister, I want to thank you too. Thank you for loving me and always tolerating my unreasonable behavior. I will not be so childish in the future. I love you, Songsong, and I will love you forever."

Wen Song smiled and raised his head, kissed the corner of his lips again, shook his head and said: "Of course it's not that simple, A Che, you are very good, it's me who is not good enough, it's clear that you have been tolerating me."

She pulled Cheng Che back to the telescope, turned on the computer, looked for previous observation records, and readjusted the direction of the telescope. Half an hour later, she looked at Cheng Che and revealed a charming smile.

"I found your birthday present."

Wen Song connected the image to the computer, magnified and processed the image, pointed to a comet and said to Cheng Che: "See it? This is the comet I found. Because it was discovered near Saturn's orbit more than a year ago, it is numbered T-Saturn2020P."

"I see it." Cheng Che looked at the comet with a long tail, emitting brilliant blue light in the Black River, beautiful and spectacular.

At the same time, she opened the official website of the International Astronomical Union and clicked on a report titled "Discovery of New Short-Period Comet in Near-Saturn Orbit - T-Saturn2020P".

"Baby, you are really great, you are really amazing." Cheng Che looked at the author and discoverer column at the bottom of the article, which said Iseylia Wen, and couldn't help but praise Wen Song.

"Give it a name." Wen Song looked at him with a smile and said proudly, "Because I am the discoverer, I have the right to name it. Ah Che, if I give you this naming right as a gift, would you like it?"

"what?!"

Cheng Che simply couldn't believe what he heard. He didn't understand astronomy and astrophysics, but he knew that discovering a new celestial body was far from easy, not to mention the right to name it, which was the highest honor that any astrophysicist aspired to.

He didn't know how much Wen Song had paid to discover this comet, but it must have been more difficult than he could imagine. However, she said, "I'm giving you the naming rights as a birthday present. Would you like it?" She even had a little doubt.

How could he not like it? But this gift was so valuable, how could he accept it with a clear conscience? What he had done for her was far from enough.

"Sister, this is what you discovered. How can you give me the naming rights?" Cheng Che shook his head and said, "I am really very happy. You don't have to sacrifice so much for me."

"How can it be considered a sacrifice?" Wen Song smiled, "It's just the naming rights. I am still the discoverer. You can name it everything you want, like Slopestyle, snow, Roche, or maybe CookieAnn, anything you like."

(You can call it anything you want, like Slopestyle, snow, Roche, or CookieAnn, whatever you like.)

Cheng Che still shook his head, kissed Wen Song's forehead and said, "That's enough. The naming rights should still be given to my sister."

Wen Song was helpless, smiled and said: "Okay, then I can only call it Roche, and it will be Roche-2020P from now on."

"Why is it called Roche?" Cheng Che also smiled, "Sister, are you going to name it after me?"

"Because I want you to be free." Wen Song said to him, "Unlike other celestial bodies that are tidally locked or fixed to a certain area. Although comets also have fixed orbits, they are much freer than other celestial bodies.

Like this T-Saturn2020P, it comes from the Kuiper Belt. When I first observed it, it was in the orbit of Saturn, which was a year and a half ago. But now, it is gradually approaching the orbit of Jupiter. I calculated that it will be close to the Earth's orbit around 2037, and at that time, you can see it from the Earth. "

"Song Song..." Cheng Che looked at her emotionally, tears flashing in his eyes, "Then you have to take me with you to see it."

"Okay." Wen Song leaned over and kissed him, holding his hand tightly and said, "Ache, I hope you are free, not a star ring, nor a companion star, but the freest comet. Whether it's me or anyone else, we should not be a bondage to you."

After hearing her words, Cheng Che was so moved and deeply in love that he was willing to sacrifice himself for Wen Song. As long as she wanted, he would do it without hesitation even if it meant giving up skiing and the Winter Olympics.

But Wen Song never let him do that. She said he was free and she wanted him to be free.

"Sister, you really love me, right?"

There was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that she really loved him, but he couldn't believe it. She really loved him too much, so much that it made him doubt whether he was really worthy of her love.

"Yes, of course I love you very much." Wen Song looked at him with a smile, "Ah Che, I have told you so many times that I love you very much, and I even gave you the right to name the comet. How could you doubt me?"

"I'm not doubting my sister. I'm doubting myself. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of my sister's love."

Cheng Che hugged her tightly, feeling her heartbeat, and then he believed that all this was not a dream.

"Why do you doubt it?" Wen Song looked at him with a smile, his eyes gentle and calm, "Of course you deserve it, and only you deserve it."

Cheng Che smiled, leaned over and kissed her. After a long time, he gently let her go and said to her, "How about calling me Rosey? Roche and Iseylia. Besides, you like roses too."

He believed that their love would be like this comet, which was free but also had a fixed orbit and would not deviate from its direction. Even if they were separated for a short time, they would eventually return.

"Rosey?" Wen Song thought briefly, nodded and said, "Very good, then call her Rosey. I will formally submit this name at ICTAG in April. Then, we will go to receive the certificate together."

"Okay." Cheng Che bent down and kissed her again, "Songsong, this is the most precious and favorite birthday gift I have ever received. Thank you, I really, really like it."
