Nan Binghuai looked extremely surprised on the other end of the phone: "Xiangyue, is this true?" ”

"Do you think I'm going to joke with you?"

Nan Binghuai froze: "Are you on a business trip?" ”

"No, I'm going to settle abroad, I've already resigned at the academy."

Nan Binghuai's eyes widened suddenly: "Such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with me in advance?" ”

"Do I need to discuss my own business with you?"

"Xiangyue, please don't be angry, be sensible. What can you do abroad? ”

"I know that I don't have as much ability as you, and I can continue to engage in astronomy after going abroad, but I have overseas connections, which you don't know."

"Well, I know you have an uncle in America."

"He has worked hard in the Americas for many years and has already achieved something, but now he is old and has no children of his own, so he helped me go through the procedures for going abroad."

"Are you going to inherit his inheritance?"

"Yes, he wants me to bring my boyfriend with him."

"What? Will you take me with you? ”

"It's not impossible if you want to. You can help me inherit my uncle's business and run a business, and if you really can't let go of your beloved astronomy, maybe you can use your fame to work at an observatory that is more conducive to your performance. ”

"You asked me to work for an observatory abroad? This is simply not possible. ”

"Binghuai, please don't have a narrow nationalist mindset, okay? Isn't there such a saying? Science has no nationality! ”

"Xiangyue, but you forgot the next sentence - scientists have a motherland. You say that I am a nationalist ideology, but I just can't forget that I am a Chinese and must contribute to the astronomical cause of the motherland. Instead of helping other countries become stronger, to bully their own motherland. ”

Su Xiangyue said in a sad tone: "You are really unreasonable. It seems that you and I are destined to be unable to share weal and woe. ”

Nan Binghuai said gloomily: "I'm sorry, I don't deny that I love you very much, and it's unforgettable love." However, in my life, there is something more important than love, and that is the belief in serving the country with science and technology. For the sake of the great cause of the country, I would rather sacrifice my own happiness. ”

"Binghuai... Do you really think so? ”

"Xiangyue, I'm really sorry, after all, I am not an ordinary person, but a scientist who shoulders the rejuvenation of the nation, and I must not give up my faith because of personal gains and losses."

Su Xiangyue had no choice but to reply angrily: "Then you can live by your faith."

"Hey..."

Nan Binghuai wanted to explain a few more words, but the other party had already hung up the phone. He silently put down the phone, a little stunned.

However, he recalled his love affair with Su Xiangyue over the years, and did not want to believe that he had lost her since then, hoping that she would understand her and finally 'get lost' on the road of love. However, what happened next was something he never dreamed of.

It turned out that when he was depressed for two days and suddenly wanted to find his good buddy Yang Qiming to pour out his bitterness, he never found the shadow of the other party, not even the dormitory. After he asked his colleagues around him to no avail, he went directly to Academician Liu to ask what was going on-

Unexpectedly, Academician Liu gave him an astonishing reply: "Xiao Yang has resigned!" ”

"Huh?" Nan Binghuai was stunned for a moment, "Really? That's impossible! ”

Academician Liu regretted: "I can't believe it's true." But Xiao Yang personally handed over the resignation letter to me yesterday. I tried to persuade him for a long time, but his determination was down. I can't force it. It's a pity, he's a promising astronomer, and he's going to go to the sea to do business. ”

Nan Binghuai was still in disbelief: "This is impossible, don't I know Yang Qiming yet?" His hometown is thousands of miles away in the countryside, and he has no personal relationships and no funds in the local area, so why do he rely on to go to the sea to do business? Although it is now hot in the sea, what is he doing as a dignified astronomer? ”

Academician Liu hurriedly explained: "Xiao Yang is not doing business in China, but going abroad." ”

"Going abroad?" Nan Binghuai couldn't help but question, "He has no overseas relations, why?" ”

"He said he had a friend in the Americas."

"Is he going to America?"

Academician Liu nodded: "Yes." ”

"So he's going to the Americas?" Nan Binghuai suddenly thought of Su Xiangyue in his mind.

At this moment, Nan Binghuai suddenly realized something, and rushed to Su Xiangyue's school in a panic. However, the result that awaited him was that Su Xiangyue not only resigned a few days ago, but also left the school earlier today and ran straight to the airport.

When Nan Binghuai learned the news from one of Su Xiangyue's colleagues, a nameless fire was almost burning, and he wanted to immediately rush to the airport to catch up with the other party.

At this time, Su Xiangyue's colleague calmly stopped: "Professor Nan, don't chase it, it is estimated that Xiangyue is already on the plane at this time." ”

Nan Binghuai squatted on the ground helplessly, beating his head like crazy: "Why? Why would she say goodbye without saying goodbye? ”

"Xiangyue has left you a letter and put it with me, and I will show it to you immediately."

After Su Xiangyue's colleague put down this sentence, he turned around and entered the dormitory building.

Nan Binghuai slowly stood up and looked back at the door in amazement.

After a while, the female teacher walked out with an envelope without a stamp and handed it to him: "Here, this is the letter from Teacher Xiangyue to you." ”

Nan Binghuai took the letter with his trembling right hand, and then cooperated with his left hand to tear open the envelope, but his hands trembled so much that he couldn't find the strength to tear the envelope. He tried several times, but without success.

The female teacher couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "Or I'll help you, right?" ”

Nan Binghuai was stunned, the female teacher had calmly snatched the envelope, easily tore open the seal, and took out the folded letter paper from the seal, and handed it to Nan Binghuai's hand.

Nan Binghuai's head was muddy like paste, and he didn't seem to have any gratitude, Mu Ran took the letter paper in his hand, but dropped the envelope to the ground.

The female teacher quickly leaned over and picked up the envelope.

Nan Binghuai opened the letter and saw that it was actually two pieces of letterhead, and the first page of the letter was actually signed by Yang Qiming. His mind suddenly woke up from the chaos again, and the previous premonition gradually became reality, but he still couldn't accept such a reality in his heart, so he had to look at the famous hall in it, so he patiently read the contents of this letterhead-

Binghuai

See the words as they are. When you read this letter, I had already gone to the Americas and accompanied Xiangyue. You may think that I am too unrighteous, why should I take advantage of the danger of others to snatch your sweetheart? But I hope you will be patient enough to read my letter before deciding whether you should hate me or not. Because I poured out all my heartfelt words on this little piece of paper.

Like you, I cherished the sacred title of astronomer and Africa's desire to make a career in this sacred post. But reality shattered my dreams completely. Because the country is so poor that there is a serious lack of investment in scientific research, and there is not even an advanced astronomical telescope, how can we make extraordinary achievements in astronomical research? Therefore, my dream has been shattered, I have lost confidence in my future, and I don't want to live in this scientific research institution. You have always taken the scientists of the two bombs and one satellite as a model and inherited their spirit, but don't forget that the country's determination to build two bombs and one satellite at that time was the strength of the whole country. Even now, the science that the state attaches importance to is in other civilian science and technology, and too little investment is made in the field of astronomy. Since we are given less rice, do we need more skilled women? I've been thinking about leaving this position for a long time. Therefore, when I learned that Xiangyue was going abroad to inherit her uncle's estate, I took the initiative to ask to accompany her. Because I know you as a person, no matter how much I love her in my heart, I will not accompany her at the expense of my career and give her a real happiness. When I confessed to her, I finally touched her. In fact, after weighing this time, she finally realized who was the person she should cherish, that is, the man who dared to sacrifice everything for her happiness. My love for her has never changed in the slightest, so I decided to stay with her for the rest of my life.

Binghuai, you must not think that my behavior is despicable, because even if I don't do this, Xiangyue will gradually distance herself from you, because you two are not all the way at all. Besides, how can she gain a foothold in a complicated foreign country with her? I have a hundred worries in my heart, I must be by her side, and at the same time help her solve her problems, I must protect her every step of the way. In my opinion, the best interpretation of my beloved is to be by her side and always hold her in the palm of my hand to take care of her.

Binghuai, you must not think that I have betrayed the motherland for my own selfishness. When it comes to patriotism, I am no worse than you, although I am now going abroad to develop, but patriotic feelings will always linger in my heart. It's just that I want to contribute to my motherland in another way, that is, the industrial salvation advocated by those national capitalists in the past. Now is the era of reform and opening up, the country needs a large amount of overseas funds to participate in the country's economy and modernization, I hope to do my part in this field. Just like the lyrics that prevail now - although I wear a dress, my heart is still a Chinese heart...

Nan Binghuai's hand holding the letter paper trembled more and more, his eyes were blurred, and he couldn't read the little content behind it, and he poked it with both hands, almost breaking the two pieces of letterhead.

Seeing this, the female teacher hurriedly reminded loudly: "Professor Nan, don't be excited, there is a letter left by Xiangyue below." ”

Nan Binghuai's spirit suddenly perked up, he wanted to listen to his sweetheart again, although he couldn't hear her voice anymore, but at least he could still see her words. He wanted to see for himself how she gave him an explanation.
