9【Go up for a drink】
The planet toi700d that Xiang Nan is looking for was discovered in 2020.
It is located a hundred light-years away in the Magellanic Cloud in the constellation Doradus, orbiting a red dwarf star named toi 700.
The scientific community was extremely excited about its discovery.
Firstly, it is only 20% larger than the Earth, secondly, it is located in the habitable zone, and thirdly, it has a suitable temperature and may contain liquid water.
These three advantages make it likely to become a habitable planet.
While humans have discovered countless planets so far, there are only about fifty habitable planets.
Every additional discovery is a huge breakthrough, enough to rank among the top ten breakthroughs in physics of the year.
For example, in 2016, Physics World, sponsored by the British Physical Society, listed the discovery of Proxima Centauri b among the top ten breakthroughs of the year.
Therefore, once Xiang Nan is certified as the discoverer, he will surely receive great glory.
Knowing the coordinates of toi700d, Xiang Nan quickly locked it and took a photo of it.
He then sent an email to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and attached his speculation.
Next time, just wait for the verification from iau.
…
After finishing his business, Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he heard a "click" sound, and when he turned around to look, he saw Howard doing magic tricks for Penny.
He had learned magic in order to pick up girls, and he always carried small props with him, but not many of them were picked up by him.
Now that Penny was smiling awkwardly, she knew that his trick didn't work again.
"I'm done." Xiang Nan stretched and said, "Penny, do you want to see the stars? Please come over here."
"God bless, yes." When Penny heard this, she immediately left Howard behind and walked over as if she had heard a fairy voice.
She felt like she was going crazy if she stayed with him any longer. She had never seen a pursuer who used such lame methods to pursue him blindly.
"Come, please take a seat." Xiang Nan gave up his seat to Penny, and then clicked on a planet video, "Look, this is the sky above us..."
"Wow, so beautiful." Penny said in surprise.
The stars above are dotted and densely packed, which is far more shocking than observing it with the naked eye.
"Yes." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Whenever I see these stars, I am reminded of a poem by the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, 'I believe that among the stars, there is always a star that leads my soul through The unknown darkness'."
"Oh, what a beautiful poem." Penny said with emotion.
"Indeed." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Tagore also has another poem, which I think is also very interesting.
The fish said to the water, you can't see my tears because I am in the water.
Water said to the fish, I can feel your tears because you are in my heart..."
"Oh~" Penny couldn't help but feel emotional after hearing such a touching love poem, and looked at Xiang Nan with watery eyes.
"Guo said, it's almost cooked, yet you're talking so much nonsense!" Xiang Nan immediately changed his tone and said.
Penny was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
While laughing, he poked Xiang Nan's chest, "Haha, you are so annoying, you laughed so much that I couldn't breathe."
Howard on the side was surprised and envious.
Unexpectedly, after Raj's selective mutism was cured without treatment, he suddenly became an expert in picking up girls, which is really impressive.
…
After staying in the astronomy room for an hour, the three of them took a car and left together.
"Howie, your home is relatively close. Let me take you home first." Xiang Nan said as he drove.
"Let's send Penny off first, I'm not in a hurry." Howard rolled his eyes and waved his hand quickly.
He didn't want Xiang Nan to be alone with Penny.
"No, let's send him off first." Penny insisted.
Xiang Nan nodded and sent Howard back to his home in Altadena.
"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Howard stayed in the car, really unwilling to get out of the car.
At this moment, the lights on the second floor of his house came on, and then a hoarse voice roared: "Who is outside, is it a thug?"
"Who is that, your father?" Penny asked in surprise.
Howard looked embarrassed, "That's pretty much it."
"Who is it? I called the police." The voice continued to roar.
Howard had no choice but to get out of the car and shouted, "Okay, Mom, it's me!"
"Wow!" Penny's eyes widened in surprise.
She didn't expect Howard's mother to be so fierce, let alone that he was such an adult and actually lived with her mother.
"Bye, Howie." Xiang Nan didn't want to embarrass his friend, so he immediately started the car and drove Penny away.
…
Come to the downstairs of Penny's house.
"Would you like to come up for a drink?" Penny invited with a smile.
Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment.
He could guess what would happen after going up there, and in principle he didn't want to feel sorry for Leonard.
However, he has never been in love in his entire life, and has failed dozens of blind dates.
Now there is such a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes, sweet smile and hot body, who takes the initiative to invite him home.
Xiang Nan really couldn't refuse.
Soon, his desire defeated his reason, "Okay."
Afterwards, he followed Penny back home.
Followed by drinking, kissing, hugging...
This was Xiang Nan's first experience. It felt like a dream, so psychedelic and unreal.
It wasn't until he woke up early and saw Penny lying next to him that Xiang Nan truly regained consciousness.
"Thirty-two years of being single..." he said with infinite emotion in his heart.
Unable to fall back asleep, Xiang Nan looked at his watch, then quietly got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Raj is a person who knows how to enjoy life very much. He claims to be the brown version of Martha Stewart (the queen of housekeeping in the United States) and has excellent cooking skills.
After Xiang Nan became him, he also inherited his cooking skills.
Three times five divided by two, he cooked a rich breakfast.
Penny smelled the fragrance and woke up from her dream. Then she put on her nightgown and walked out of the bedroom.
"Good morning, beauty! Breakfast is already prepared. Go wash your face, brush your teeth, and then you can eat." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Wow, your cooking skills are better than mine." Seeing him making fried eggs, toast, and sausages, Penny couldn't help but said.
"Thank you for the compliment." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
…
After washing up, the two of them had breakfast together.
"Well, it tastes really good." Penny praised while eating.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, Penny, do you have time today? I want to buy some new clothes. Can you give me some reference?"
"Okay." When Penny heard that she wanted to go shopping, she immediately agreed.
After eating breakfast, the two of them lingered for a while, and then took a car to Macy's Department Store in the city center.
Arriving at the clothing area on the second floor, the two of them started shopping one by one.
Chapter completed!
