Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 23 23【Steep increase in status】

  In the afternoon, Xiang Nan was writing his thesis "Orbit and Resonance of Neptune Satellites".

  This paper is a paper published by the Caltech and Jet Propulsion Laboratory team in 2020, detailing the orbit and orbital resonance of Neptune satellites.

  This paper has deepened people's understanding of Neptune, and it can be said to be a very valuable article on the subject of studying Neptune.

   Just then, there was a knock on the door.

   "The door is unlocked, please come in." Xiang Nan replied loudly without looking up.

   "Hi, Raj." Leonard poked his head in. "Are you busy?"

   "It's okay, just do some research." Xiang Nan smiled and closed his notebook, "What's your business?"

   "I have nothing to do, I just came to see you." Leonard also smiled, and then asked tentatively, "Are you still angry with Sheldon?"

   "Of course I'm not angry anymore, what's wrong with getting angry." Xiang Nan waved his hands.

  Friends meet each other. His real age is already thirty-two years old, and he has experienced many separations and reunions, so he has long since disregarded such things.

   Besides, Sheldon doesn't have so many advantages, which makes him think about it all the time. So if you break it, you break it, there is nothing to be hypocritical about.

   "In this case, let's come to my house for dinner tonight. After dinner, we're going to play Dungeons and Dragons." Seeing what he said, Leonard said happily.

   "I'm sorry, Leonard, you misunderstood." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I said I'm not angry because I don't mind breaking up with Sheldon, not because I want to get back together with him."

   "Please, don't act like this, we are all friends." Leonard frowned immediately after hearing what he said.

   "He compared us to tools! This is not what a friend would say." Xiang Nan shook his head.

   "You know, he didn't mean that." Leonard defended Sheldon.

"On the contrary. Sheldon won't lie, he speaks what is in his heart." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "In his eyes, we are tools. If he doesn't change this point of view, put us in the In an equal position, it is impossible for me to be friends with him again."

   "Don't be like this." Leonard wondered.

  He didn't have many friends since he was a child, and he really cherishes this friendship.

   "Leonard, don't worry, although Sheldon and I can no longer be friends, I will always be your friend, and this will not change." Xiang Nan comforted him.

   "Thank you." Hearing that, Leonard felt much better.

  …

  In the next two days, Xiang Nan and Howard sat separately from Leonard and Sheldon, and the foursome separated.

   When Xiang Nan and Sheldon met again, they only treated each other as air, and just passed by without saying hello or nodding.

  …

  Two days later, Xiang Nan's "Edgworth-Kyber Belt Debris Disk" paper was successfully published in the "Astrophysical Journal" magazine, which caused a sensation in the industry.

  The new algorithm disclosed in the paper provides a very good tool for people to study the Kuiper belt, and it can be said that it has laid the cornerstone of the study of the Kuiper belt in one fell swoop. As a result, Xiangnan's position in the industry has increased sharply.

  Although he had some scientific research results before, but after all, he didn't have much influence, so he was still a little transparent in the industry.

   Now, while he has come up with such a groundbreaking research result, people are impressed, and at the same time, they can't help admiring him.

   Now when he goes to the cafeteria to eat, many colleagues pay attention to him.

   "Wow, did you notice that Mandy Zhou was peeking at you just now." Howard excitedly said to Xiang Nan.

   "Really, not bad." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled when he heard it.

  Mandy Zhou is a beautiful Chinese beauty, and she is also an excellent marine biologist.

   "Hey, buddy, you already have Penny." Seeing his reaction, Howard immediately reminded nervously, "Mandy is mine, and I would like to get lost in her Bermuda 'Delta'."

   "Howie!" Seeing that he was so wretched, Xiang Nan couldn't help scolding.

   "Sorry~" Howard smiled.

   At this moment, Leonard and Sheldon also came to the cafeteria with meals.

   "Well, this is a good opportunity." Leonard's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sheldon and said, "Let's go over and say congratulations to him, and then everyone can clear up the misunderstanding and continue to sit together."

   "Sorry, I'm not interested." Shelton flatly refused.

   "Okay, then I'll go by myself." Seeing what he said, Leonard had to change the channel.

   "You are not allowed to go either. Rajesh and I have broken off our relationship, and we are now opposite identities. As my friend, how can you associate with him and stand on the same side with him?" Sheldon said plausibly.

   "Raj is also my friend." Leonard nodded, "Anyway, I'm going, come or not if you like."

   "OK, you also received a warning." Sheldon threatened.

   "You want to take the bus to school tomorrow, don't you?" Leonard turned his head and glanced at him.

   Shelton gritted his teeth, but in the end he didn't insist.

  …

   "Hi, Raj, congratulations!" Leonard then walked up to Xiang Nan and said.

   "Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile, "Let's sit together."

   "Hmm..." Leonard glanced at Sheldon not far away, with a hesitant expression.

   "OK, it's okay." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, Penny wants to have a party for Halloween, you are welcome to come."

   "Halloween party?! Do you need to dress up?" Leonard asked with a smile as his eyes lit up.

   "Of course." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "What is the theme of cross-dressing, movies, anime, comics, dramas, myths..." Leonard asked in detail.

   "As you like, there are no restrictions." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Okay, I will definitely participate." Leonard said excitedly.

   "Raj, will there be girls at the party?" Howard asked with concern.

   "Of course, Penny's friends will come." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

   "Wow!" Hearing what he said, Leonard and Howard became even more excited. They left empty handed the last party, and they must not repeat the same mistakes this time.

   "OK, you two listen to me, if you want to catch up with girls, don't dress up in all kinds of weird ways." Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately reminded her.

  In the play, at the Halloween party held by Penny, Leonard is dressed as Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings", and Howard is dressed as the green forest hero Robin Hood, but his appearance is quite similar to the fairy tale character Peter Pan.

  These two costumes were sluggish and failed miserably, which resulted in them being left out for the night.

   "What do you mean?" Leonard and Howard asked puzzled.

"What I mean is, it's better to play some characters that everyone knows and everyone knows, which will make you more popular." Xiang Nan pointed out, "For example, Leonard, you can pretend to be Harry Potter, how You can pretend to be Captain Jack."

   "Yes." The two thought for a moment, then nodded.

  Since Xiang Nan's achievements in picking up girls are indeed much higher than the two of them, they decided to adopt Xiang Nan's opinion.
