["I haven't touched the medal since I took it home. I'm not interested in the Nobel Prize."]
[Shocking! Professor Lu "Declined" the Nobel Prize!]
["I will name an award after myself to reward young people in need."]
[Lu Zhou: I have too many trophies, don't give me any more!]
[…]
Lu Zhou looked at the news headlines on his phone screen. His eyebrows twitched a few times, and a string of black lines appeared on his forehead.
I'm just accepting an interview and stating my own views in a normal manner.
How come it's interpreted this way …
I feel like I'm just being pretentious?
Lu Zhou returned the phone to Chen Yushan who was walking next to him. He couldn't help but complain.
"Where did you find so much news?"
Chen Yushan was admiring the side of Lu Zhou's face. She had a charming smile on her face as she blinked and spoke.
"I found it on the app."
"Why don't I have it?"
"Maybe …" Chen Yushan crossed her arms and thought for a while. She then said, "Maybe it's because you don't search your name on the Internet often?"
What do you mean?
Do you often search for my name?
This …
This is embarrassing.
Realizing this, Lu Zhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and his gaze subtly shifted to the side.
Chen Yushan, who was walking next to him, keenly caught the change in his expression. It was as if she had discovered a new continent. Her face instantly showed an excited expression.
"Huh? Your face is a little red. "
"… No, you must have seen wrongly."
"Of course not! Wait a second, I'll take a picture for you … "
Chen Yushan was about to take out her phone to take a picture, but Lu Zhou quickly grabbed the phone to stop her.
If he allowed her to leave any evidence behind, his tall, handsome, confident, and calm image of a male god would be completely destroyed!
"Look at how excited you are. Even if I really take a photo, I'll just watch it secretly. I won't show it to others. Why are you so excited?"
Looking at Lu Zhou's nervous look, Chen Yushan laughed out loud. She didn't grab the phone back. Instead, she teased, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to be so generous. Have you thought about which awards to set up in your name?"
"Award?"
When he heard this word, Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment, but he quickly realized what she was referring to. His face revealed a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"The award … I think it's still too early. Although I do have this thought, I always feel that at my current age, isn't it a little too arrogant? "
"How could that be? Don't you see how the netizens are excitedly planning how to spend money for you? " Chen Yushan smiled and continued, "If you are interested, you can tell me. Even if it's just an idea, I can help you set up a similar fund to manage this bonus."
"This … we'll talk about it later. I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. "
Lu Zhou wasn't in the mood to think about this matter at all.
From the moment he stepped on the path to the observatory, his thoughts were completely occupied by another matter, so he had been a little absent-minded along the way.
Normally, he wouldn't be teased by Chen Yushan like this, and he wouldn't be able to fight back at all. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he only needed to use half of his strength to easily make her speechless.
The two continued to move forward along the stairs and soon arrived at the road.
Looking at the iron fence gate at the end of the stairs and the metal plate with the words "Jin Ling University Observatory" written on it, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
He glanced sideways at Chen Yushan, who had a puzzled face.
"This is it, we're here."
He took out the key from his pocket, opened the lock on the iron fence gate, and walked into the building with Chen Yushan, who was full of curiosity …
This observatory was an astronomical observation facility of Jin Ling University. It was located on a hill on the campus.
Even though it wasn't anything special, it was equipped with a reflecting telescope with a diameter of 65 centimeters. The telescope was automatically controlled by a computer, and it was one of the largest teaching telescopes in Southeast Asia.
This telescope was the reason why Jin Ling University's astronomy department had a dominant position in the country.
Other than that, there was also a professional two-meter radio telescope here.
However, today, Lu Zhou mainly needed the former.
Chen Yushan looked at the empty building with interest and spoke curiously.
"It's so quiet here, like a haunted house."
Lu Zhou took out the key and opened the door of the observation room. He smiled and said, "After all, it's the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, so it's still New Year. I got the key from the dean of academic affairs. If there are no accidents, we might be the only guests in this building. "
Lu Zhou walked into the observation room and walked to the center of the observation room. He followed the steps in the manual and meticulously assembled the 650mm reflecting telescope.
"Done."
Lu Zhou clapped his hands and took two steps back. He looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction. He then turned around and looked at Chen Yushan.
"The timing is just right, and the angle is perfect. Come on over."
Chen Yushan walked to the side of the telescope, leaned down, and curiously looked at the eyepiece.
Almost as soon as her gaze came into contact with the starry sky, a pleasantly surprised expression immediately blossomed on her face.
She had never seen such a beautiful scene before.
The gorgeous starry sky was like a kaleidoscope overflowing with light. The shining stars were like gems in the mine, blooming with mysterious and beautiful light from the bottomless darkness.
She stared at the starry sky for a long time before reluctantly moving her eyes away from the eyepiece.
"So beautiful …"
Chen Yushan straightened her body and looked at Lu Zhou with lingering eyes. She spoke softly with emotion.
"I have never noticed that there is such a gorgeous scenery above our heads."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Because we can't see that far under normal circumstances, we can only do it with this tool. You can try to zoom in so you can see it closer. "
"Can you help me?"
"It's my pleasure, my Royal Highness."
Lu Zhou walked to the side of the reflecting telescope. He put his eyes close to the eyepiece and carefully adjusted the magnification and angle of the telescope.
Chen Yushan, who was standing next to him, stared at his profile. Suddenly, she felt her heart beat inexplicably faster.
Lu Zhou, who was carefully adjusting the binoculars, suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which, do you remember what day it is today?"
Chen Yushan hadn't completely recovered from the charming feeling, and she was suddenly talked to by the person she liked. Her cheeks turned red as she spoke abruptly.
"Ah, of course, I remember! The fifth day of the Chinese New Year … No, no, February 14th … Today, today is Valentine's Day! "
Because she spoke too fast, she almost bit her tongue.
When Lu Zhou saw how flustered Chen Yushan was, he looked back at her and couldn't help but smile. He put down the binoculars and stood up straight.
"I thought you forgot."
"How could I forget such an important day!"
Chen Yushan rolled her eyes. She blushed and gently punched Lu Zhou's chest, protesting his teasing.
But soon, when her eyes fell on the telescope, her voice quickly softened like a Valentine's Day chocolate in the palm of her hand.
"Speaking of which …"
"What's wrong?"
"Going to the observatory to look at the stars on Valentine's Day always feels … romantic." Because of her lack of vocabulary, Chen Yushan didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart at the moment. But she felt that her heart was beating very fast, and her cheeks were a little hot.
She was sure that this feeling didn't come from hormones, but from a special feeling.
Maybe this is romance?
In the past many years, she had never felt this from other people.
Looking at the charming face, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"Really? Actually, I was a little worried that you would laugh at my aesthetics. "
After all, compared to watching a movie or shopping, watching the stars together was a bit too hardcore. Not everyone could appreciate the beauty of the starry sky, and Lu Zhou was well aware of this.
"Of course not. As long as it's a memory with you, I like it. Also … "
Chen Yushan's cheeks were slightly hot. She looked at the telescope, then looked at the open skylight. "I didn't realize there was such a beautiful scenery … Can I take another look?"
Lu Zhou smiled and made a gesture.
"No problem, it belongs to you, no matter how many times you look at it."
Without hesitation, Chen Yushan walked to the side of the telescope again. When she put her eyes on it again, the universe in the eyepiece was gathered into a ball of light.
It was as if all the stars in the sky had merged together and become the brightest one.
Her beautiful face was once again imprinted with a heart-stirring color.
"… So beautiful."
Because it was so beautiful.
She didn't know what words to use to describe this visual impact.
Lu Zhou walked to her side and explained softly.
"Tau Ceti, 11.9 light-years away from our sun. I wanted to take you to see Alpha Centauri first, but we are now in the northern hemisphere, so we can't see Alpha Centauri. "
"Does it have any special meaning?"
"Not really … Tau Ceti is not like other famous stars. It is just an extremely ordinary third-class dark star that can be directly seen by the naked eye among the many stars outside the solar system. It doesn't even have a well-known inherent name."
Chen Yushan glanced at Lu Zhou from the corner of her eyes. She pouted her thin lips slightly and teased, "I thought it had some meaning about love."
"Compared to those supernovas, it is still a little dim. It was not easy for the ancients to discover it, so there was no chance to leave any ancient rumors." Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "But it is precisely because of this that history has given us such a precious blank page, allowing us to have the privilege of engraving our legends on it."
Chen Yushan felt her cheeks heat up when she heard that voice. She let out a soft "Pei" in embarrassment.
"… I didn't expect you to become so glib … Be honest, how many girls have you cheated behind my back?"
"You are the first."
"Hmph …"
Feeling a little proud, Chen Yushan turned her face slightly and buried her face in the eyepiece of the telescope.
Lu Zhou, who was standing behind her, smiled and spoke softly.
"Do you like it?"
"I said, I like the memories with you."
"I'm talking about this star."
The corners of Chen Yushan's mouth curled up slightly. Her heart was as sweet as honey. She softly hummed the willfulness of a little girl and said, "Of course, you told me that you wanted to engrave our legend on it."
"Then, I want to give it to you."
Time in the observation room seemed to have paused.
Chen Yushan moved her eyes away from the eyepiece and blinked at Lu Zhou.
"Give it to me …"
A bright smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face as he spoke softly.
"Remember the Valentine's Day gift I said before?"
"I want to give you a star."
