Fall in love with the ex Bai Yueguang

Chapter 10 The Oort Nebula 2

Xie Li was very reluctant, so he walked to the opposite sofa and sat down.

Tan Ke picked up the Coke that was thrown on the sofa next to him, walked to Xie Li, unscrewed it and handed it over: "Professor Fang called you Xiao Xie, what is your name Xie?"

Xie Li took the Coke, didn't drink it, just held it in his hand upright, as if holding some imperial decree, hesitated for a moment, and said softly but firmly: "I don't want to tell you my name."

Tan Ke thought this little boy was so funny, and couldn't help but want to tease him: "Even if you don't tell me, I can ask Professor Fang, and she will always tell me."

Xie Li shook his head immediately, still very firmly: "Then I don't want to tell you either."

Tan Ke asked: "Why?"

Holding the bottle of Coke, Xie Li sat upright, frowning and thinking about what to say to get out of here.

Tan Ke was too close to him, with the smell of lemongrass aftershave in the air around him, which made it hard for him to even think.

"Because of Song Yi, isn't it?" Tan Ke said again suddenly.

Xie Li was startled, and immediately raised his head to look at Tan Ke, his eyes widened like black grapes.

He kept the words of denial in his mouth, unable to open his mouth no matter what.

Because Tan Ke's eyes were sharp and deep, as if he could see through his heart.

He remained silent, looking directly at Tan Ke.

Tan Ke didn't hide, he was very generous, and let him see with his hands open.

The room was silent for a moment, only the cold air was blowing out from the air vent.

Xie Li felt as if his brain had been washed back and forth twice, until his sanity flowed into the sewer along with the waste water.

He knew that he should stay away from this person in front of him.After all, the relationship between him and Song Yi, Song Yi and him is too annoying.

But he didn't know when a little bit of secret regret arose in his heart.

It may be when I saw this person at the buffet party, or when this person stood in front of the telescope with his name engraved on it, staring at the sky, and casually talked about his past.

This person is good-looking, and he also looks good when he smiles; he studied in Princeton, was also a scholar, went to those famous laboratories, and perhaps once studied under a famous scientist, and then devoted himself to Huajie, playing with numbers and models in the palm of his hand In the meantime, tens of millions were casually thrown out.

The people he saw came and went with blurred faces.Only a few people surprised Xie Li, Shen Zhichuan was the first one, and now Tan Ke is the only one.

He felt very sorry in his heart, why is this person a zero, how could he be related to Song Yi.

He became a little smoky in the lemongrass-flavored aftershave, and asked the question involuntarily: "Don't you like Song Yi?"

Tan Ke adjusted his sitting posture, clasped his fingers on his knees, and even thought very seriously for a few seconds before he said solemnly: "How old are you, 21 years old did you say just now? How many times have you been in love, once? Twice? "

Xie Li pursed his lips and did not speak.

Tan Ke could see the clue from his expression: "Song Yi is your first love?"

Xie Li didn't say a word, just acquiesced.

Tan Ke nodded: "It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, what's more important is that I don't think it's suitable." He looked at Xie Li and asked, "Do you think Song Yi is suitable for you?"

Xie Li shook his head, imitating the other party's answer: "It doesn't matter whether it fits or not, the important thing is that I like it, pass it."

He tried to emphasize the last word.

Tan Ke raised one corner of his lips, suppressed the vague throbbing in his heart, and thought with a little regret, this is really Shen Zhichuan's student.

He looked at his watch, it was eight o'clock.He will watch the night market in the big trading room at night, the market opens at nine o'clock and closes at four o'clock.He should be getting some sleep at this hour.

So he stood up, casually picked up the cap of the Coke bottle on the coffee table and handed it over, and stood up at the same time: "Go back and apply the medicine."

This means seeing off guests.

Xie Li lowered his head and twisted the Coke, put it back on the table, picked up his schoolbag and went out.

He walked to the door, stopped suddenly, turned his head while holding the doorknob, and said to the person on the sofa, "My name is Xie Li, Xi Muli."

After Xie Li returned to school, he went to the cafeteria to have a meal. On the way back to the dormitory, he passed the office building. There were still lights on upstairs in twos and threes.

He stood downstairs and counted. One of the lights belonged to their office.

Guessing that Cheng Guang was still in the office, he hesitated for a few seconds before going upstairs.

Shen Zhichuan is also a very good mentor, except that his character is too difficult to serve and too demanding.His own articles are numerous, unlike some tutors who stare at the three melons and two dates of his students every day.He does not withhold money from students, nor does he encourage excessive overtime work.

Since Xie Li's Ph.D. study, Shen Zhichuan didn't even urge him to set a direction, and only let him rotate among the projects in his hands one by one.

When Xie Li entered the office, Cheng Guang was still fixing bugs.

The project in Cheng Guang's hands is related to his graduation thesis, and he has been unable to see any hope, and his mouth is burning with anxiety.

The big cake thrown by Shen Zhichuan before might not have the intention of encouraging Cheng Guang in it.

Outsiders think that doing astrophysics is looking at the stars through a telescope, which seems very romantic.

actually not.

As far as Cheng Guang's current direction is concerned, in terms of the evolution of dark matter, the theory is moving too fast, and the actual observations can't keep up at all. The observation methods and equipment are at least decades behind.Therefore, researchers spend most of their time facing the computer, writing codes endlessly, pushing formulas endlessly, and reading literature endlessly.

It's boring, unless you love it, it's hard to stick to it.

Cheng Guang heard the movement, looked up and saw that it was Xie Li, and hurriedly asked him to come over to take a look.

When Xie Li left in the afternoon, the algorithm module was running halfway, but as soon as Xie Li walked on the front foot, the program started on the back foot.

Cheng Guang squatted on the chair and tossed for several hours without finding out the problem.

When Xie Li heard this, he threw down his schoolbag and came over to help. Cheng Guang took the opportunity to catch his breath and leaned back on the chair to linger.

"Li, have you thought about the future?" Cheng Guang suddenly asked without thinking.

Xie Li was busy adjusting the standard library and came out to re-check line by line. He didn't turn his head when he heard the words, and replied casually: "In the future, maybe we should develop on the side of celestial evolution. Although the project of pulsating variable stars in the teacher's hand is quite interesting Yes. By the way, last time I looked at them and Canada's..."

"No," Cheng Guang interrupted him, "I mean what do you plan to do with your career after graduation?"

Cheng Guang's tone sounded anxious.Xie Li couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and turned to look at his senior brother.

Cheng Guang was leaning back in the chair, looking at the ceiling, his eyes lost sight: "I am not allowed to go to the postdoctoral mobile station of our school according to the regulations, so I just want to ask the boss if he can give me a recommendation. It would be best if I can go to the imperial capital. If you can’t go to the imperial capital, it’s not impossible to stay in southern Yunnan or Yecheng Observatory for two years as a postdoctoral fellow.”

Xie Li didn't expect that Cheng Guangboer was already thinking about doing post-doctoral work.

"But the boss said that in the past two years, everywhere in the country has been saturated. If I want to continue to do academic work, I'd better consider going abroad." Cheng Guang stroked his hair, looking very irritable.

Xie Li heard the focus of the conflict: "Then if you go abroad, will sister-in-law go?"

Cheng Guang shook his head: "If I go abroad by myself, I have to leave her in the country. She goes to work and takes care of the children alone, but Xingxing is only one year old, and both parents can't help. What should she do alone?"

Xie Li thought for a while and said, "I heard that postdoctoral fellows are generally allowed to bring their family members with them. If my sister-in-law and Xing Xing go with you, that's fine..."

Cheng Guang shook his head again: "That's not the problem. Even if you can apply for a postdoctorate outside, and do it for two years, what about after two years? If you can't find a teaching position, you will be a postdoctorate for another two years, two years after two years, other things Don't tell me, I can't take your sister-in-law and Xing Xing to move every two or three years, can I?"

He looked back at Xie Li.

Xie Li was also squatting on the stool, his fair face even had a naive look of worry.

Cheng Guang sighed: "That's what I thought, and I'll tell you casually. I want to go out and find a job after graduation."

Xie Li let out a soft "ah".

"We have a bit of martial arts to do this. We can write codes, pass mathematics, and have enough brains." Cheng Guang pointed to the computer, "Going out to help people make trading models is also a way out. I went to Changjing with a Ph.D., did quantification for a year, and bought a house this year.”

"But when I think about it, I feel very unwilling." Cheng Guang paused, his tone changed, and he became a little sad, "I majored in astrophysics as an undergraduate, three years as a graduate student and three years as a Ph. .The result? Nothing is achieved now. I have been thinking for the past few days, is it because I am not suitable for this at all, so I can quit early, or maybe if I persist, I can make something and see some hope?"

Xie Li didn't speak for a while, he thought of Tan Ke.

Tan Ke mentioned that he used to be engaged in high-energy physics, Xie Li couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did he leave the academic circle because he couldn't see the future?

It was really hard for him to imagine that such a person would have a bleak moment.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed an unavoidable possibility.

Who dares to guarantee that the research in their hands will definitely have a result.

Cheng Guang talked for a long time, but he felt that it was meaningless, so he waved his hand and got up to continue working.

The two brothers and sisters tossed head to head until twelve o'clock, and finally got a clue.

Xie Li held the mouse all night, and his wrist was sore and numb. He shook his hand and said, "It's the fault of the standard library. I'll quote it again tomorrow, and I'll optimize the data access. It will be around next Monday." Okay. Brother, you can rest on weekends, I have nothing to do anyway, so I will just pass the time."

There are old and young in Cheng Guang's family, so he can have a weekend without worrying about these things, and he is very grateful to Xie Li.

Xie Li and Cheng Guang said goodbye in front of the office building, carried their bags and walked along Fenglin Road to the dormitory.

What Cheng Guang said before made him feel stuck in his throat.

Xie Li didn't think too much about what to do after graduation before, as if this academic path should be taken for granted.After graduating with a Ph.D., to do a postdoctorate, and then to find a teaching position in the school, just like Shen Zhichuan, doing research and teaching students at the same time, his life passed so smoothly.

When Cheng Guang said this today, he suddenly realized that maybe Shen Zhichuan was the minority, the minority who could walk down this road smoothly.

Lanta’s Fenglin Road is still a popular spot for students and tourists to check in during the day, but it becomes a bit crowded at night.

The maple trees that cover the sky and the sun are connected together, and the street lamps and the sky are tightly covered.As soon as the wind blows, the blades rub against each other, making a low rustling sound, as if someone is talking to the ear.

Xie Li held his schoolbag and thought about it, thinking about how to fix bugs when he came over tomorrow, thinking about Cheng Guang again, and thinking about Tan Ke again after a while.

He thought that if he could ask Tan Ke how he left the academic circle, he might be able to give Cheng Guang some advice.

He was about to walk to the door of the dormitory building, when he suddenly heard a voice calling his name softly in the wind.

Xie Li stomped his feet and listened carefully, his scalp was almost numb, and he immediately thought of those disappearing campus legends, and immediately rushed to the dormitory building.

The voice did not let him go, pursued him closely, and continued to call out intermittently: "Xie Li——Xie——Li——"

Xie Li was so scared that her tears came out. Seeing that two people stood in front of the doctoral building and screamed to rush over: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

Standing in front of the doctor's building was Xiao Wu, a river and lake doctor who applied Yunnan Baiyao to him. Xiao Wu was startled by him: "Is there a ghost? How can there be a ghost?"

Xie Li covered his head and pointed at random, taking advantage of the opportunity to hide behind Xiao Wu: "It's right there."

Xiao Wu stretched his head: "Where—ah, isn't this Song Yi?"

Xie Li stuck his head out from behind Xiao Wu and saw that it was indeed Song Yi, panting and walking this way, with an ugly face like a female ghost.
