I almost touched the moon

After they left, Wen Song finally felt relieved. He patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death..."

Cheng Che quickly hugged her and coaxed her, "Don't be angry, baby. I'll have a good talk with A Xuan later."

Wen Song shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not angry, just a little surprised. His girlfriend's mood... is really not stable."

"I don't know what A Xuan is doing. I don't even want to talk about him." Cheng Che sighed again and asked Wen Song, "What's going on with the study trip to Chile?"

Wen Song briefly explained, and then said: "Cheng Xuan's scores in practice-related courses are very high, and his observation reports are also excellent, so I gave him the opportunity to accompany me to Chile to attend the conference and go to the ESO observatory for field observation and research.

About half a month ago, he told me that he had other things to do, so he would not go. I did not ask much, and after confirmation, I gave the place to another student. But I really could not imagine that it was for this reason. You two are really brothers..."

"What?" Cheng Che lowered his head and bit her lips gently, saying, "I didn't give up the competition for my wife."

"No?" Wen Song asked jokingly, "Who gave up the chance to be the flag bearer at the closing ceremony and came to England to find me?"

Cheng Che immediately defended himself, "That's different! Who is my wife? My wife is Professor Dr. Iseylia. It's normal for me to give up a flag bearer for you. Besides, it was my fault at that time. It's only right for me to take the blame. Ah Xuan is... fooling around!"

"Have you ever regretted it?" Wen Song asked him this question for the first time. "I have never thought about breaking up with you. I went back to Oxford because I was really tired and just wanted to be alone. I admit that I didn't tell you because I was angry. But Ah Che, you are a rider in your first Winter Olympics. It is such a high honor. Don't you really regret it?"

"I don't regret it." Cheng Che looked at her gently and smiled. "Didn't I serve as the flag bearer again in the second Winter Olympics? I missed the first chance, but I still have the second chance. But if my wife doesn't want me anymore, I won't have another chance. And I was only the flag bearer for the closing ceremony, not for the competition."

"Don't do this again in the future." Wen Song finally spoke after five years, "I was also wrong, Che, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize." Cheng Che shook his head and kissed her brow. "I didn't consider your feelings and made you sad. If you really feel sorry for me, then hug me."

"I can't stand you anymore!" Wen Song hugged Cheng Che like he was holding Petty, rubbed his head, and said angrily, "You're still talking about Cheng Xuan, but you're also being clingy in public."

"What public place?" Cheng Che raised his head and said with a bit of rogueness, "It's just you and me here, how can it be a public place?"

Suddenly the door opened. Hearing the sound, Cheng Che immediately got up from Wen Song's arms, sat up straight, and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

Cheng Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, brother, you guys continue, don't worry about me."

"Don't you realize your problem yet?" Cheng Che was slightly angry when he saw his playful smile. "Your sister-in-law told me about it. So just because of such a ridiculous reason, you gave up the opportunity to participate in this year's ACIC?"

"What can I do?" Cheng Xuan said unhappily, "I want to go too, and the professor also said that we can participate in ESO's ALMA observation project and search for Earth-like planets with the research team there. Of course I know this opportunity is rare, but Yiluo keeps making trouble with me and insists on watching me send emails..."

After that, he looked at Wen Song again and pleaded, "Professor, please, I had no choice at the time. Please take me with you. I will pay for it myself."

Wen Song shook his head and looked at him and said, "Cheng Xuan, after receiving your email, I have already notified Franrik to go. You can go to Chile and Atacama at any time, but I can't take you to this conference and research project. The number of places is limited, and there is only one chance."

Cheng Che also said: "Since you have made your choice, don't regret it. I can give you money and let you go to Chile, but as for the conference and ESO research projects, I can't help you with that either."

Cheng Xuan looked bitter, and sighed, "But what can I do? She kept saying that she was afraid that I would rekindle my old feelings for Si Yao, and it was impossible to coax her. But I can understand that she is insecure... Sister-in-law, you can understand me, right? There is a figure skater in my brother's national team who has been pursuing my brother for a long time, and my brother had a good relationship with her before..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cheng Che shouted, "Let's talk about your own business. What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any good relationships with anyone in the figure skating team except Brother Mingqian."

Wen Song couldn't help but laugh, patted Cheng Che's hand and said, "It's Miss Li, Lu Mingqian's teammate, who had participated in pair exhibition skating with him before. She is indeed pretty, I have some impression of her."

"What..." Cheng Xuan muttered, "Aren't there people spreading rumors about the two of you?"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Che wanted to throw Cheng Xuan out immediately. He looked at Cheng Xuan, showed a somewhat cold smile, and said to him: "You spent more than 40 euros on your credit card last month. I thought you spent it yourself and didn't say anything. But now I find that it seems not to be the case. Xuan, I have no obligation to pay for your relationship. How are you going to pay me back? If you don't have money, then I can only tell my parents and ask Dad to reimburse me."

"Brother, I was wrong!" Cheng Xuan immediately begged for mercy, "I was just talking nonsense, the relationship was not good at all, sister-in-law, don't listen to my nonsense."

"I see..." Wen Song nodded thoughtfully and said, "fine, I believe in Che."

Cheng Che immediately turned his head to look at her and said pitifully, "Baby, I really don't have any. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Brother Mingqian and Shu Ning."

"I know." Wen Song knew that Cheng Che couldn't afford such a joke, so he smiled and said, "I never doubted you."

Cheng Xuan also continued: "Well, what I mean is, if there is a girl that my brother liked before, and my brother goes to a competition or participates in an activity with her, sister-in-law, you will definitely be unhappy and you will mind. You are a woman, you can understand Yiluo and me."

"I don't understand."

Wen Song looked at him blankly and said, "Competitions or other activities are not private trips, so why should you mind? And it's just someone I liked once. If it's so easy to rekindle the old feelings, it means that there are still feelings. If that's the case, then why should I continue to associate with this person?"

She added, "I didn't mean you or Che, I was just using an analogy. Anyway, I can't understand it."

Cheng Xuan looked at Cheng Che again and said, "Brother, then you can understand me, right? If, for example, my sister-in-law went to Chile this time with a boy she once liked, and that boy was very handsome and outstanding, better than you in many ways, you would also feel insecure, right?"

"I can understand that." Cheng Che nodded and said, "But I won't stop Song Song from going to Chile because of this. I also don't think that she has any special feelings for that person. I trust her completely."

"Okay..." Cheng Xuan nodded, then looked at Wen Song and said, "Sister-in-law, so there is really no chance?"

"Not this time." Wen Song expressed regret, "But if there is such an opportunity next time, you can still submit your application."

Seeing Cheng Xuan's lost expression, Cheng Che softened his heart and comforted her, "Okay, since you want to go to Chile so much, I'll pay for it and you can just treat it as a trip. But you probably can't get into their ESO research institute. There's a sign at the door that says, 'ESO OBSERVATION INSTITUTE, STAFF AND CORPORATORS ONLY'."

(European Southern Observatory Institute of Observational Sciences, staff and collaborators only)

Wen Song heard what he said, looked at him, and whispered: "Remember the grudge! I'll take you there next time I'm on vacation!"

Cheng Che smiled, then thought of Cheng Xuan's changes over the past few days, frowned a little unhappy, and advised kindly: "Xuan, I have no intention of interfering in your love life, and I will not tell my parents about what happened today. But I must remind you that a good relationship should have a positive impact on both people. Another very important point is that as an adult, controlling your emotions is a basic principle."

After that, he looked at Wen Song and asked, "Baby, do you want them to serve the food again, or go home and I'll cook for you, or should we go eat something else?"

"Let's go home." Wen Song said silently, "The food in this restaurant is not good either. I want to eat something spicy."

"Then let's go home and I'll cook you some spicy crab." Cheng Che stood up and took his coat and put it on her.

He then reminded Cheng Xuan, "Think about it carefully. Don't drive after drinking. I'll ask Uncle Jin to take you home. Don't quarrel when you get home. Try to be calm."

However, not long after he left, while Cheng Che was on his way home, he received a call from Cheng Xuan, whose voice and tone were very anxious, "Brother! Come to my house soon! Something big has happened!!"
