I almost touched the moon

In May, Munich welcomes the most beautiful season, with flowers blooming, grass growing and birds singing by the lake, and a little snow on the mountains on the opposite bank, inlaid on the skyline like diamonds under the sunlight.

Wen Song likes to bask in the sun on the grass by the lake in the afternoon, sometimes writing papers, sometimes reading books or feeding swans, and sometimes doing nothing but lying down for a nap.

In the evening, when Cheng Che finished training and went home, he would always come to the lake to find her first, stroll home with her along the sunset, cook for her, and then walk along the lake together after dinner.

When she stayed up late to write her thesis, he would stew a bowl of milk, wolfberry and bird's nest for her, brew a cup of jujube kernel and Euryale ferox tea, and tell her to smoke less. After she finished her work, they would sleep together in each other's arms.

On weekends, they would have a picnic in the garden or by the lake, go skiing on the Zugspitze, go to concerts, or stay in Fussen. Sometimes they would go to Hallstatt and Salzburg, see tulips in the Netherlands, or just do nothing and rest at home.

For a brief moment, Wen Song suddenly thought that if she didn't go to Oxford to study for a doctorate, it would be fine to stay in Munich, because she really hated rainy days in England.

In mid-May, Cheng Che suddenly said to Wen Song, "Sister, I'm going back to China next week to participate in the Olympic trials. Can you come with me?"

"Ah?" Wen Song asked in confusion, "Is there any place in China that can hold a skiing competition this season? And you have a silver medal in the World Championships and a World Cup title, so you can directly qualify for the Olympics, right?"

Cheng Che explained: "It was at an indoor ski resort because it was not only the Olympic trials, but also the national championships. In addition, there were two spots for the national slopestyle team for the Winter Olympics, so apart from me, other athletes needed to qualify through the trials."

Wen Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. "Then why are you going? If you go to participate in the national competition, isn't that a dimensionality reduction attack? Give others a chance to win the championship."

"I didn't want to go at first." Cheng Che smiled, "But the provincial team wants me to participate. They said that if I don't go, there will be no one else in the team who can win the championship. It doesn't matter. I'll just go and treat it as practice."

"Okay..." Wen Song also laughed, "I won't go. I'm too lazy to go so far, and there's no point in watching you attack from a lower dimension."

Cheng Che felt a little disappointed after hearing her words, but he didn't want to force her, so he just said to her: "Okay, then I'll go and come back quickly, at most three days, and I'll be back."

"Ok." Wen Song nodded. "Although it doesn't seem necessary, but try your best anyway."

After Cheng Che returned to China, Wen Song suddenly realized that he had really spoiled him. He even became uncomfortable with eating takeout and was unwilling to go out, so he simply returned to Zurich for a short stay.

When returning home, Wen Yiheng was having lunch in the restaurant. Seeing Wen Song, he asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Wen Song picked up a piece of roast duck and said while eating: "Ache went back to China to compete, and no one cooked for me, so I came back."

"Huh?" Wen Yiheng looked at her speechlessly, "Can't you order takeout or go out to eat?"

"I'm too lazy to go out for dinner, and the Chinese food in Munich isn't as delicious as his." After saying that, he continued to eat his lunch, completely ignoring Wen Yiheng's speechless look.

After lunch, Wen Song and Wen Yiheng sat on the sofa together to play with Petty. Cheng Che also called her at this time, "Sister, the preliminaries just ended. The finals will be the day after tomorrow. I will be back immediately after the competition. Do you miss me? Did you eat well during the two days I was away?"

"Yes." When Wen Song answered his call, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his voice became much gentler. "I've also returned to Zurich these days. Please come back soon. I have good news for you."

"Okay, it's better to go back to Zurich. Otherwise, I'll be worried that no one will take care of you. Sister, remember to say hello to Lawyer Wen and Petty for me."

When Cheng Che heard the good news she said, he asked again, "What good news is it? Can't you tell me now?"

"No." Wen Song pretended to be mysterious, "It's a secret. I'll tell you when you come back."

"Okay..." Cheng Che pretended to be regretful, "I want to come back now and don't want to compete anymore."

"Don't think too much." Wen Song quickly stopped him, "Fight well. Have you bought your ticket? Send me the flight number after you buy it, and I'll pick you up."

"No need." Cheng Che said immediately, "We will arrive in Munich at 25:6 am on the th. It's too early. My sister is still sleeping. I'll just ask the driver to pick me up."

"Ok." Wen Song nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at home, see you then."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yiheng also asked curiously: "What good news? Are you going to marry him?"

"No, what are you thinking about?" Wen Song said unhappily, "I got an offer from Oxford. During the previous interview, a supervisor was very interested in my research proposal. He just sent me an offer yesterday and invited me to participate in his project about..."

"Good, congrats." Wen Yiheng immediately smiled and congratulated, "You don't have to tell me about your research project. I don't understand and I'm not interested."

"Ok, then I'll talk to Cheng Che."

"Talk to him, will he understand?" Wen Yiheng looked at her in confusion, "Won't he feel bored?"

Wen Song glanced at her and said with some pride: "He said that although he didn't quite understand it, he was very interested and hoped that I could share it with him."

"Wow, so nice." Wen Yiheng smiled, "It seems that he really likes you. By the way, Ilia, I have a small suggestion. The apartments in Oxford are relatively old, or they are student apartments. If you don't mind the distance, you can live in my house in London, but if you want to go to school more conveniently, I suggest you buy a house and decorate it yourself."

"It doesn't matter." Wen Song said disapprovingly, "It's only three years, and I won't be in Oxford every day, so I can just stay anywhere. I'm too lazy to find a house to decorate or anything like that, it's too troublesome. He is responsible for the house that Cheng Che and I live in now."

"You moved?" Wen Yiheng asked curiously, "Where did you move to?"

Wen Song then told Wen Yiheng about the move. After listening, she smiled in surprise and said, "So he deliberately said that he was not an EU resident and could not own land, just to transfer the ownership of the land to you. Omg, he really is a little love-brained. This is the first time I have met such a love-brained boy. But you are very lucky, he really loves you."

"Yes, he loves me very much..." When Wen Song said this, she felt a sense of pressure for no reason. She could never return Cheng Che's love for her in the same way.

Wen Yiheng seemed to see her hesitation, smiled at her, and said lightly: "You don't need to feel pressured, love is not equal."

Then he said to Wen Song, "In Oxford, if you think it's troublesome to buy a house and renovate it, I'll let Su Yu and Tina do it. Just treat it as a PhD gift from me to you. Do you like it?"

“Of course, thank you so much.”

Wen Song agreed immediately without being polite to Wen Yiheng.
