I almost touched the moon

On Thursday afternoon, Wen Song was invited to give a guest lecture on self-interacting dark matter at Kyoto University. In addition to students and some professors from the Institute of Physics, there were also Cheng Che and Wu Qianlan.

A boy sitting in the first row had silver hair, a color that was very picky, but not offensive. With his fair skin and delicate features, he looked even more handsome. She also noticed that the boy had a small mole under his right eye, which made him look a bit feminine, but not feminine.

Even though she looked at Cheng Che's stunning face every day, she couldn't help but look at this handsome boy a few more times. Cheng Che noticed her movements and glanced at her several times. When Wen Song walked to the back row, he gently rubbed her with his long legs under the table and asked with his eyes: "What are you looking at?"

Wen Song took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and gave an embarrassed smile. Seeing that Si Yao was also looking at the front row, he instantly understood what was going on. He returned to the podium and switched seats with her.

As the research and development of the Neptune-Kuiper Belt Probe has just been completed, a student asked: "Will this probe also continue to travel in the solar system like Voyager 2, and detect the dark matter in the solar system through gravitational lensing and other methods until it flies out of the solar system?"

Wen Song nodded and said, "Of course, this is also one of the main goals of our project. But this is a very long project, just like Voyager 61 and , which have been traveling in the universe for years but still have not touched the boundary of the solar system. So what is the exact boundary of the solar system? Perhaps most of us would say it is the Oort Cloud, but where the Oort Cloud is, how it was formed, and what substances it is made of are still a mystery.

To get the answer, we need more than astronomy, astrophysics, or particle physics. We also need the support of aerospace technology. Is there anyone here who majored in aerospace engineering and could discuss or collaborate with us further? "

The silver-haired boy immediately raised his hand, took the microphone from Wen Song and introduced himself: "Hello, professor. I am Kazuya Asakura, a second-year master's student at the Graduate School of Engineering at Kyoto University. My major is aerospace engineering. Based on the question you just raised, combined with dark matter detection, I think in the field of aerospace engineering, we can..."

After the lecture, Wen Song talked with Si Yao and other professors from the Institute of Physics. Wu Qianlan was already drowsy. She was wearing a gray business suit, but she lay on the table with her eyes closed, which was a bit cute.

Si Yao thought she was a student, so he walked down from the podium, knocked on her desk, and whispered in Japanese: "The lecture is over, you can leave now."

Wu Qianlan didn't understand what she said. He was stunned for a moment and said in English: "No, I'm friend of prof. Iseylia and awaiting her."

Si Yao immediately smiled and said to her, "So it's Professor Iseylia's friend. She may need about half an hour. Why don't you go to my office and wait for her. You can be with Master."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Wu Qianlan smiled, pointed to Asakura Kazuya who was participating in the discussion in the front row, and said, "I'll wait for her here. Professor, this boy is so handsome, is he also in your major?"

"No, he's an aerospace engineer." Si Yao didn't feel unhappy, but introduced very generously, "He studied undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and returned to Japan for graduate school. He speaks very good English, and you can communicate with him directly."

Cheng Che immediately walked over to Wu Qianlan and sat down, stopping her and saying, "Don't think about it, that's Professor Artemis's prospective boyfriend. Professor Artemis, Song Song asked me to ask you, how is the progress?"

"That's it." Si Yao said nonchalantly, "I was very interested at first, but he is a monk in our school, so it's hard for me to accept it... Although he is not my direct student, it feels like a teacher-student relationship, which I can't accept. I'm too traditional. Besides, dating is so troublesome. I think the most beautiful stage of a relationship is the ambiguous stage."

"That's right!" Wu Qianlan said immediately, "What's the point of being in a relationship? We quarrel every day. Ambiguity is still the best. I like the tug-of-war during the ambiguous period the most. Professor Si, you look so young, are you younger than me?"

"Yes." Cheng Che said immediately, "Professor Artemis is one year younger than A Xuan."

"Oh my god, you're only 31 years old and you've already become a professor at Beijing University?" Wu Qianlan said with some admiration, "How amazing! You're worthy of being Sister Ilia's favorite student. You're so strong. Oh, you academic bigwigs are really too much. I used to think I was a good student, but compared to you, I'm just a poor student."

Si Yao also understood who she was after Cheng Che's introduction and immediately said, "Lawyer Wu is too modest. You are only a few years older than me, but you are already the head of LK's Hong Kong branch. You are a true elite. And you are so beautiful. It's true that you Jiangnan girls are beautiful and have fair skin."

Cheng Che watched them bragging about their business and felt like an awkward light bulb. He said to them, "You guys chat, I'll go wait for Song Song."

Perhaps because of their similar experiences, complementary personalities, and similar outlooks, Wu Qianlan soon became friends with Si Yao.

When Wen Song and the other professors finished their discussion, Wu Qianlan and Si Yao were already arm in arm, calling each other "Yaoyao" and "Sister Qianlan" and complaining about their parents' control and men...

Wen Song also smiled and said to them, "Two kids, let's go eat. Che has reserved Mishima-tei. Let's go together."

Si Yao declined, "Thank you, Professor and Master, I won't go. I want to go drink with Sister Qianlan."

"Yes, yes!" Wu Qianlan also said, "I really like Yaoyao, she is so interesting when she talks. Sister Ilia, you and Yaoyao have completely changed my stereotype of girls majoring in science and engineering. You guys go eat, we don't want to be light bulbs."

Wen Song noticed that Si Yao was dressed very simply today, just an ordinary white shirt, a pair of black trousers, and no makeup. He couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked casually, "Why are you dressed so simply today?"

"Don't mention it." Si Yao sighed, waved his hands and said, "It's terrible. I forgot to block my family members when I posted on WeChat Moments!! Then my eldest sister found out that I was in Kyoto... She suddenly called me this morning and said that she had arrived at Kansai Airport with her child and asked me to pick her up. She also insisted on staying at my house.

Professor, you don’t know how scary her son is. He came to Munich once before and broke the heel of my Christian Louboutin!! The pair of CL shoes that I saved up for a long time to buy... Then, when my eldest sister found out, not only did she not compensate me, she also said to me, Yaoyao, you are really ignorant. You have money to buy such expensive shoes, but you don’t have money to lend to your brother to buy a house. "

"I'm going to die!" Wu Qianlan said immediately indignantly, "According to section 303 BGB, intentional damage to other people's property in an amount exceeding 500 euros may constitute a crime. Although minors do not need to bear the corresponding criminal responsibility, the guardian must pay the corresponding compensation and impose a fine. Alas, if I were there at that time, I would definitely make her pay the money and then give you compensation."

"Yes, Lawyer Wu, I wish I had met you earlier." Si Yao held Wu Qianlan's hand and sighed again, "So I learned my lesson this time. I hid all my valuables, left them some money, and signed up for a Chinese tour group. Then I lied to my sister and told her that I was going on a business trip, so now I can only stay in a hotel."

Wu Qianlan immediately said: "Why don't you live with me?"

"Ah?" Even Wen Song and Cheng Che were a little surprised. Wen Song blinked and asked in confusion, "Are you already so familiar with each other?"

Si Yao was also a little embarrassed, "It's okay, it's okay, I've already found a hotel, it's near the school."

Wen Song was also quite sympathetic, "Why is your sister still like this? Does she think it's easy for you to be alone in Japan?"

"She's always been like this." Si Yao sighed silently, "If she hadn't stolen the key to rescue me when her parents locked me at home and told me to quickly apply for a passport to return to Germany, I really wouldn't have paid any attention to her."

Wu Qianlan felt a little distressed after hearing this. He patted Si Yao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's not what I meant. Our law firm has a long-term cooperation with the Four Seasons Hotel. The room rate is very low and can be reimbursed, so I will help you get a room there. The environment will be better and someone will deliver meals every day. And we have a driver, or we can lend you a car from the law firm."

"Reimbursement?" Wen Song smiled, "Lawyer Wu, you are really a good employee of my mother."

Wu Qianlan showed an embarrassed smile and said to Wen Song, "Is it okay, Miss?"

"Of course." Wen Song said to Si Yao with a smile, "Don't worry about the price, it's really cheap, otherwise I wouldn't have taken you to stay at Four Seasons every time I went on a business trip. Don't worry, your elder sister will see that you are busy, so you probably won't be able to stay for a few days."

"That's great." Si Yao said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Qianlan, thank you, Professor. But I have to pay for it myself, I can't spend your money. Don't worry, I have a high salary and can afford it."

"Okay, then it's settled." Wu Qianlan took Si Yao's arm and said, "Yaoyao, let's go have a drink. Do you know any good restaurants?"

"I know. I'll take you there."

After saying that, Wu Qianlan waved to Wen Song and said, "We're leaving first. Sister Ilia, thank you for introducing me to Yaoyao today. We're going on a date~"

Watching them walk away arm in arm, Wen Song also found it interesting and said to Cheng Che, "I didn't expect them to become good friends so quickly. Yaoyao is very introverted."

"They have similar personalities, so they will definitely get along well." Cheng Che put his arm around Wen Song's shoulders and said, "Let's go, Professor. You peeked at the handsome boy during the lecture today. Shouldn't you explain to me?"

"I didn't!" Wen Song denied immediately, "I found that boy, the one Artemis liked, so I looked at him a few more times. He is not as handsome as you, you are the most handsome, I only love you."

"I only love you, too." Cheng Che stood at the entrance of the Institute of Physics, kissed Wen Song's cheek in the sunset, held her hand and said, "Let's go eat too."

"Okay." Wen Song nodded, and held Cheng Che's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers. "The work is finally over, let's go to Hakone tomorrow. I only have two weeks of vacation left, I'm so annoyed... I don't want to go to work, can I not go to work?"

"No, Professor." Cheng Che played with her hand carefully and said in a half-joking and half-serious tone, "Others can not go to work, but you can not, because if you don't work, Aurora Voyager will crash, and it will be even more impossible for humans to find the boundary of the solar system."

“Okay…” Wen Song nodded and said deliberately, “It seems that I am really important.”

"Of course, you are the most important. The astrophysics community cannot do without Prof. Iseylia, and I cannot do without my Songsong."
