Chapter 41 41 [What can't be finished is the routine]
Xiang Nan raised his head and saw a South Asian woman standing in front of him.
She has brown skin, black hair, a straight nose, and deep eye sockets. Even from the aesthetic point of view of Chinese people, she is a very beautiful beauty.
"Yes, I am." Xiang Nan put the magazine down, stood up and smiled, "You are Lalita?! Wow, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Thank you." Lalita smiled and nodded.
She was a chubby girl before, and her appearance was not high. It wasn't until she made up her mind and lost fifty catties of fat that her appearance became more provocative.
She also likes others to call her beautiful, which makes her feel that her hard work was not in vain.
"Please sit down." Xiang Nan smiled, and then sent the prepared gift over, "A small gift is not a respect, I hope you like it."
"You actually brought a gift?!" Lalita said in surprise, "Thank you, what is it?!"
"Take it apart and have a look." Xiang Nan smiled without answering.
Larita then unwrapped the beautifully wrapped gift, and saw a beautifully decorated book inside.
I opened it again, and saw that it was a fairy tale.
"Huh?!" Lalita looked at Xiang Nan suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.
Do you think that you are too naive and stupid, and you only deserve to read this kind of fairy tales? !
"The name of this book is "Princess Panchali". It tells the story of the strong, beautiful, brave, and kind Indian princess Panchali, who led her people to break through the shackles and go to freedom." Xiang Nan smiled. Explained, "I think you look a lot like her."
"Oh?!" Lalita was pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect to get such a high evaluation, "Tell me more about this princess."
"Okay, it is said that her eyes are made of stars by gods, and her lips are so delicate that roses are ashamed to open them..." Xiang Nan nodded and continued to speak softly.
"Oh~" Lalita became happier the more she listened, and she couldn't help but coquettishly said, "Rajesh, I can't say it as well as you do."
"You speak better than I do." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Come on, let's order food, shall we chat while eating?"
"OK." Lalita nodded cheerfully.
…
Xiang Nan then ordered sushi, and talked with Lalita while eating.
The longer the conversation, the better Lalita's impression of Xiang Nan was.
Before she came, she actually heard some rumors about Raj.
It is said that he is a very weird person. He has never dated girls, and he dare not even talk to girls. He also said that he had a close relationship with a Jewish boy, so it was said that he was crooked.
Because of this, Lalita came on a blind date this time, but she was actually very apprehensive, worried that she would meet a disgusting weird man. So it was planned that if Raj was really weird, she would stay for a few minutes, find an excuse to slip away, and then go back and talk to her parents about the marriage.
But after getting in touch with him now, she feels that Raj is handsome, romantic, and full of fun, and he is a very good man.
Strange how those rumors got out. Fortunately, she didn't believe it all, otherwise she would have missed such a good boy.
"You came to America to study, but are you still used to it?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"That's good." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
"I heard that you have been studying in England since you were sixteen. It is really admirable that you have such courage at such a young age." Lalita also laughed.
"Actually, it's because I have a spiritual totem." Xiang Nan laughed, "It guides me in the sky, so I won't feel afraid."
"Oh, which **** do you believe in?" Lalita asked curiously upon hearing this.
"It's not a god, it's a Voyager space probe." Xiang Nan waved his hand and explained, "It was sent into space as early as 1977. When I was born, it had already completed its mission.
It detected Saturn, Jupiter, and their satellites, but it did not stop, but continued to move forward into the depths of the universe.
Because whenever I feel alone, when I feel scared, I think of it in the sky. At this moment, it is still somewhere outside the solar system, continuing to move forward toward the unknown.
This spirit has always inspired me, so that I am no longer afraid, no longer alone. "
"Oh, you said it very well." After listening to Lalita, she was so moved that she trembled all over her body and got goosebumps.
She didn't expect that Xiang Nan could say such profound and insightful words, which made her feel that he was so mature, so stable, and so full of connotation.
…
"Rajesh, you've already appeared in "People" magazine." Lalita noticed the magazine in Xiang Nan's hand, and when she opened it, she saw Xiang Nan's exclusive interview.
Seeing that he was featured in such a high-end magazine, Lalita couldn't help feeling a little admiring and enamored. The other men around her are not as good as Xiang Nan.
"Yes, it's to report the fact that I found a habitable planet." Xiang Nan briefly introduced.
"Human beings have only discovered more than 50 habitable planets so far, and you discovered one of them by yourself?!" Lalita said in surprise, and understood Xiang Nan's achievements for the first time.
Hundreds or thousands of years later, when human beings step into space and carry out interstellar voyages, Xiang Nan will still set up a monument as a "planet discoverer".
"It's really amazing." She said admiringly.
"That's just my luck." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you are interested in space, I can take you to the astronomy room to have a look. If you are lucky, maybe you can discover an unknown asteroid, and Name it your name."
"Really, that's great." Lalita said immediately when she heard it.
If you can discover an asteroid and name it after yourself, how romantic it would be.
"Then let's go after dinner, I just have the key with me." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Okay." Lalita said happily.
…
After eating, the two then drove to Caltech and entered the astronomy room.
"Wow, is this the astronomy room? It's different from what I imagined." Lalita said doubtfully. She thought there would be a large astronomical telescope inside, but unexpectedly there were only a few computers.
"The telescope is actually set up in Hawaii. It is as big as 20 golf courses, and it cannot be placed in the school." Xiang Nan explained, "The signal it observes will be transmitted to the school through the network, so that we can stay at home. , and you can see the stars.”
"I see." Lalita suddenly said.
Xiang Nan smiled, and then set the observation direction of the telescope. He knew that there was an asteroid there.
