I almost touched the moon

Arriving at the library, Wen Song devoted himself to his thesis again, while preparing for his practical phase project.

During this period, Cheng Che called her and said in a lighthearted tone, "Sister, I passed my first defense. Now I just have to wait for the final."

"Congrats." She spoke softly, but with a smile on her face. "I'm in the library. I'll call you in the evening."

"Okay, sister, you're busy now. Remember to eat on time." Cheng Che smiled brightly after hearing her words. She said, "I'll call you in the evening."

When leaving the library in the evening, Wen Song looked at the offer in the mailbox and asked Xia Ninghe, "Ning Ning, have you found a project for your practical phase?"

Xia Ninghe said: "It should be the university observatory. Or, I actually want to go back to China. I still can't adapt to life in Germany."

Wen Song thought about her answer seriously, and then said, "The university observatory is good, but there is no need to return to China. You have finally gone abroad to study for a master's degree, so of course you should try the practical projects here. Do you want to go to ESA?"

"ESA?" Xia Ninghe was a little shocked. "European Space Agency?"

"Yeah." Wen Song nodded. "I applied for their internship before and got an interview offer, but I don't want to go anymore. I don't like Paris. If you want to go, I can recommend you and send your resume to them."

"I definitely can't do that." Xia Ninghe refused immediately. "I'm not good at English, I don't know German, and I don't know French either. How can I go?"

Wen Song propped up his head and looked at her, asking seriously, "You haven't even tried it, so how do you know you can't do it? You can write papers in English, understand professors' lectures, and have no problem doing experiments and observations, so why do you think your English is not good? ESA work doesn't require native speakers, and there are no requirements for German and French."

After hearing her words, Xia Ninghe still lacked confidence and shook his head and said, "I definitely can't do it. It's such a good opportunity, why don't you go by yourself?"

Wen Song smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that my wallet was stolen three times and my cell phone was stolen twice in Paris? How could I dare to go there?" Although it was a joke, his tone was not a joke.

Seeing that Xia Ninghe was still hesitant, she continued, "You also felt that you couldn't make presentations by yourself, and you couldn't observe and record at the observatory by yourself, but now you are doing very well. Everyone starts from scratch. Compared to you, I am only better at learning because I have been studying in Switzerland since junior high school and received pure English and German education. But you also have advantages that I don't have."

Wen Song touched her head, signaling her not to feel inferior: "You took aerospace engineering as an elective in your undergraduate studies, and you also interned in a Chinese aerospace company. Compared to me, you have more relevant knowledge and experience in aerospace. And I only have theoretical knowledge. The European Space Agency is not the European Astronomical Observatory, so you have an advantage over me. Not to mention, you have also published SCI papers, why do you feel inferior?"

Xia Ninghe's eyes lit up when he heard her words, but he still couldn't believe it, "Is it really possible?"

"Sure." Wen Song nodded. "As long as you give it a try, you won't know the result until you try. Send me your resume and I'll send it to them. However, you still have to do the interview yourself. There is one more thing I want to remind you. After all, ESA is an EU agency. You are not an EU resident, so they won't let you get in touch with core technologies. But it doesn't matter. After all, you are just an intern and you can't get in touch with the core content."

"Okay!" Xia Ninghe hugged her excitedly, "Songsong, you are my goddess, you are my sun goddess!!"

"Okay, I'm almost strangled." Wen Song pulled her up from her seat and said, "Let's go and eat."

Xia Ninghe asked her again: "Where are you going? The university observatory?"

Wen Song stretched and said, "It should be ESO. I don't want to leave Munich. I wish you good luck."

He urged her again, "Hurry up, you're starving."

When Wen Song got home in the evening, she called Cheng Che. When Cheng Che received her call, he sounded very excited, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate it." Wen Song smiled faintly, "How about you?"

"I ate it too. I cooked it myself." Cheng Che asked again, "What did sister eat?"

Wen Song yawned and said, "Malatang, it's not very delicious."

"I'll make it for you next time." Cheng Che smiled and suddenly saw the skis on one side of the living room. "Do you want to ski recently?"

"I don't want to." Although Wen Song refused, he still smiled, "I've been busy lately and I'm too tired. Let's talk about it in the fall."

"Okay." Cheng Che responded, hearing the ease in her tone, and didn't say much.

Wen Song thought of today's tarot cards and couldn't help laughing. His unintentional laughter was caught by Cheng Che.

"What laughing?"

"Tarot cards." Wen Song couldn't say anything else, so he just picked something that had nothing to do with emotions. "My friend's brother read the tarot cards for me and said that I'm a loner. Am I?"

"Sister, do you want to hear the truth?" Cheng Che asked with a smile.

"Do you dare to lie to me?" Wen Song asked half jokingly and half seriously.

"I dare not." Cheng Che smiled knowingly, thought for a moment and said, "Sister, you look quite cold and aloof. But if you really get to know you, you will find that you are a kind person with a cold exterior and a warm heart."

Wen Song also laughed, "My classmate said the same thing, it's good."

"Sister has always been fine." Cheng Che said, "If she wasn't fine, you wouldn't have accompanied me to the hospital. If you hadn't saved me, I might never have been able to ski again in my life."

"It's just a small matter. I also got a lot of hard work fees from you." Wen Song pursed his lips lightly, "Was I a little harsh to you at that time?"

"No." Cheng Che felt embarrassed. "I was in trouble at that time, and we didn't know each other. It's abnormal for you to be so enthusiastic towards me."

Wen Song smiled faintly, said "hmm", and said nothing more.

Neither of them was used to talking on the phone for long periods of time, but neither of them hung up the phone. They just listened quietly to the other's breathing.

This lasted for more than ten minutes. Wen Song felt a little sleepy and said first, "I'm going to take a shower. Bye."

"Yeah, bye, sister." Cheng Che said again, "Go to bed early."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Song sent a WeChat message to Xia Ninghe, [What gift did you give your boyfriend when he graduated? ]

Xia Ninghe quickly replied, "It's just a tie. He's graduating and needs to work, so a tie is good."

Wen Song looked at it and thought, is she going to give Cheng Che a snowboard? Does he need her to give him more snowboards?

[How is the watch? ] Wen Song asked in a WeChat message.

Xia Ninghe immediately replied, "How much do you plan to give?" She thought that Miss Wen Song would definitely not give a cheap gift.

As expected, Wen Song sent a photo of a watch and asked, "How about this one?"

Xia Ninghe had no idea about luxury goods, but she could tell that this watch was a Jaeger, and it was not cheap. She couldn't help but complain, "Miss, are you doing charity? Why don't you give it to me?"

Who knew Wen Song would reply, "If you like it, I'll give you one when you graduate."

[No!!] Xia Ninghe quickly replied, [What I meant is, don’t give me such expensive gifts. I’m so annoyed. I’m going to fight with you rich second generation guys.]

Wen Song smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, then what do you want to give me?"

Xia Ninghe sighed. How could someone be so ignorant about love? He had clearly suffered a loss once...

She sent a WeChat message saying, "I'll go shopping with you after class on Friday. Don't buy anything too expensive."

[Great.] Wen Song replied, [Thank you Ning Ning, I'll leave it to you.]

On Friday afternoon, Wen Song and Xia Ninghe walked around the street for more than two hours and finally chose a bracelet as a gift.

She looked at the handbag in her hand and said helplessly: "Actually, I still think that bracelet is better..."

Xia Ninghe resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "Sister, that 8000 Euros, who said before that spending money on men is the beginning of all misfortunes, why don't you learn your lesson? Just this, this is also quite expensive, and as long as it's a gift from you, even if it's just a bone, your little puppy will definitely love it."

Wen Song chuckled and asked her, "Do you want to go to Zurich with me this weekend?"

"What are you going there for?" Xia Ninghe said unhappily, "To be a light bulb for you and the puppy."

"Walk the dog with me." Wen Song smiled and said, "My mom went to Shanghai on a business trip this week, and the nanny has to go back to Hong Kong today. Only the housekeeper is left, but the housekeeper saw that my mom was not there, so she also applied for leave. So now there is no one to take care of Petty, so I have to go."

Xia Ninghe said with a wicked smile: "That's perfect, the big dog walks the small dog."

"Forget it." Wen Song waved his hand. "Petty is a show-off. I'm afraid he'll scare Cheng Che to death. But I have to go back to Munich on Monday. My house is not suitable for keeping Petty, and I don't have time to walk the dog when I'm busy. Maybe I really have to entrust him to Cheng Che."

"Oh, not bad, not bad, let him raise it, they are the same kind." Xia Ninghe joked.

"Aren't you going with me?" Wen Song asked again.

Xia Ninghe shook her head and said, "No, I won't go. ESA has arranged an interview with me on Monday, and I need to prepare well."

"Okay." Wen Song nodded. "This opportunity is rare. You should prepare well. I'll take you home and then back to Zurich."
