I almost touched the moon

The water flowed down the shower head onto the fair and smooth body. Cheng Che gently touched Wen Song's arm, only to find that a large bruise had appeared there at some point, which was so eye-catching on the fair and smooth skin.

"How did you get hurt?" He lowered his head, gently kissed the bruise, and licked it with his tongue. "Does it still hurt?"

"I accidentally bumped into it when simulating an exit from the cabin." Wen Song smiled faintly, "It doesn't hurt."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt a little aggrieved and helpless.

Cheng Che hugged her again, squeezed some shower gel to clean her body, and in the mist, he looked carefully and found that there were more than one bruise. Her arms, thighs, calves, knees, and fingers as soft and delicate as water lilies also had calluses from long-term operation of precision instruments.

He felt even more distressed, sighed softly, lowered his head and kissed the corner of Wen Song's lips. After taking a shower together, he hugged Wen Song back to the bed, dried her hair, took out the ointment and applied it on the bruises, and gently massaged her.

The moonlight was like water, shining through the large floor-to-ceiling windows onto Cheng Che. He was not wearing any clothes, only a white bath towel tied loosely around his waist, revealing his sturdy upper body and the sexy, slender muscular lines of his legs.

Wen Song suddenly smiled, and her fingertips gently stroked across his abdominal muscles and pectoral muscles, leaving hot tracks. She raised her head and kissed him, "Ache, I missed you so much."

In the quiet night, two hearts that had been separated for many days quietly merged, and desire surged like a tide...

After a long time, the room returned to silence. Cheng Che held Wen Song in his arms and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Are you feeling better now?"

Wen Song bit his lower lip and cursed through gritted teeth, "Asshole!"

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che was confused and scared. He asked in shock, "Baby, what's wrong? How did I make you unhappy? Tell me."

"It's not you." Wen Song sighed, hugged Cheng Che, and cursed, "Those bastards from ESA! Those old men, why don't they just die!"

Cheng Che suddenly realized what was going on, patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, baby, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you didn't make the selection, there will be opportunities in the future. If you want to go to space, I've seen an advertisement for space travel before, can we go together?"

Wen Song shook his head and said, "They are different. One is for entertainment, and the other is for research. I can accept that I was not selected because my assessment results were not up to standard, or my professional ability was not as good as others. But I cannot accept that the reason for my failure was because I don't have children."

"That's their loss." Cheng Che said immediately, "ESA is blind. If you don't go to the space station, their experiment will definitely not succeed."

"Don't say that." Wen Song frowned and stopped him, "I have also paid a lot."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was so angry that she could only say to Cheng Che, "Don't you think this is ridiculous? The final factor in selecting a female scientist to go to the space station is not physical fitness or professional skills, but whether or not she has children. So the decision maker finally decided to let Professor Kennigen go, not because her professional ability is better than mine, nor because her test scores are higher than mine, but simply because she has two children."

Wen Song sneered and continued, "This is really the most ridiculous reason I have ever heard in my thirty years of life. I would rather they tell me, we don't want a scientist of Chinese descent on our European space station. Then I can go to the ECtHR and sue them for racial discrimination. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

After listening to what Cheng Che said, he understood the general idea. He patted Wen Song's back, poured her a glass of water and said to her in a comforting tone, "Baby, did they tell me the specific reason? Your test scores are always the first, there must be other reasons."

Wen Song sighed and said, "The Commanders said that because this study is about HER, it will have irreversible effects on female fertility, so they will give priority to scientists who have already given birth to children."

Speaking of this, Wen Song's tone was quite helpless. "Of course I know that HER will affect fertility and cause ovarian loss, and in severe cases, it may even lead to ovarian failure, but I don't care. I told them many times that my husband and I have no plans to have children. We have decided not to have children a long time ago."

"No, baby." Cheng Che touched her head and said, "It's not unreasonable for them to think this way. Ovarian damage will not only affect fertility, but also have many other negative effects. It's not that simple."

"What other impact can it have?" Wen Song muttered, "I can't die."

"Silly girl." Cheng Che hugged her and kissed her, and comforted her softly, "Baby, it's okay. Actually... I'm telling the truth. You are not allowed to scold me. I don't want you to take such a big risk. Scientific research is important, but in my heart, you are more important.

There can be many astrophysicists, and I don't care how the solar system was formed, but my wife, there is only one Iseylia. If something happens to you, how can Cece and I survive?"

Wen Song hugged Cheng Che, touched his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not that risky."

She took a sip of the water that Cheng Che handed her, and sighed again. Her voice became very light, with only helplessness. "I also know that ESA's decision is objective and reasonable, but I just can't accept it. Especially today, Vice-mander said something to me. She said,

'You've made great contribution to astrophysics and this project, I know your career is essential. But life is so long, life is not merely career or scientific research. Yourself, your family, they are all more important.' ”

(You have made great contributions to astrophysics and this project, and I know your career is important. But life is long, and life is not just about career or scientific research. You and your family are more important.)

Cheng Che put his arm around Wen Song's shoulders and said, "Me too. I know our Professor Iseylia is a great scientist. Even if in your heart, I am not as important as your research, it doesn't matter. Song Song, just do what you want to do."

"No..." Wen Song shook his head and said, "Ache, you are very important, so even for you, I will not do things without considering the consequences like I did before."

Wen Song looked at him with a somewhat lost expression, "She also told me that it is my choice not to have children now, but I still have the ability and right to get pregnant and have children. But once my ovaries are damaged due to this project, I will probably lose my fertility. At that time, the meaning will be different. From not wanting to not being able to. If one day I really want to have children, it will be too late to regret it then."

Cheng Che did not speak, but remained silent. After a while, he smiled and said to Wen Song, "It doesn't matter. Whether we don't want to or can't, we won't have children, so the result is the same. As long as my wife makes the decision, I have no objection."

Wen Song nodded and said, "So I know and understand their decision. But what makes me angry is why they didn't tell me when they invited me to participate in this project, wasting two years of my time. Commanders explained to me that they couldn't guarantee that my body would change during the preparation period, so they couldn't tell me in advance."

Cheng Che also understood why she was angry. It was not because she was not selected, but because she felt that all her efforts in the past two years were in vain. He kissed Wen Song on the forehead and said, "How can it be a waste of time? Think about it. During this period of time, you have learned Russian, your French has improved, and you have been participating in physical training, and your health has improved a lot.

Besides, baby, you have mastered the operation of spacecraft now. If there are similar projects in the future, ESA will definitely consider you first, right? Just like you mander said, life is so long, there will be opportunities in the future. You always told me not to be too utilitarian and not to only look at the results, so why are you only looking at the results now? "

Wen Song listened to his words, nodded, smiled and said, "You are right. In fact, I have already accepted it, but I am still upset."

"It's better to vent it out." Cheng Che smiled and said, "How is it? Do you feel better after telling me? No matter what happens in the future, you must tell me the first time, otherwise it will be bad for your health if you keep it in your heart."

"Yeah." Wen Song also smiled, hugged Cheng Che and said, "I'm hungry. I want to eat eel rice and tempura."

"Okay, I'll do it for you right away." Cheng Che got up from the bed, touched Wen Song's head and said, "Don't be unhappy anymore. Does your wife still want to go to Hakone?"

"It's a bit far." Wen Song said with a smile, "You should study hard tomorrow and don't skip classes. Let's go to Nice the day after tomorrow. I want to bask in the sun."
