In Nan Binghuai's most difficult emotional moment, it was Zhang Meina who gave him valuable moral support and a warm home, which allowed him to devote himself to his work.

Through a series of processes of falling out of love and finally obtaining his own happiness, he finally understood the true meaning of love and happiness. That is, love is not necessarily the icing on the cake when life is the most proud, because he sees that those successful couples tend to have the highest divorce rate. But love must be a sincere help when you fall and a spring breeze to wipe away tears when you are in pain. Therefore, when he had the considerate and empathetic Zhang Meina, he finally diluted his bitter love for his first love.

Soon after, the higher authorities finally purchased a relatively advanced astronomical telescope for the Ziguang Observatory. Of course, there is still a certain generation difference between it and the most advanced astronomical telescopes abroad. At that time, Nan Binghuai had the idea of making the world's most advanced astronomical telescope on his own, because he was unwilling to lose at the starting line in the competition with foreign counterparts in the field of astronomy. In view of the conditions at that time, he could only bury this dream deep in his heart and strive for first-class discoveries with second-rate telescopes as much as possible. In his view, no matter where China's scientific and technological level is in the world, as a Chinese scientist, he must be the most dedicated and hardworking.

In the long months that followed, he not only got along with Zhang Meina in life, but also diligently pursued scientific research. She is backed by a solid family, and her career is also unfolding in an orderly manner. But one day, he suddenly received a call from a strange visitor, and it was Yang Qiming's voice that he couldn't forget.

Nan Binghuai was suddenly shocked, although he hadn't heard Yang Qiming's voice for ten years, the other party said, "Hey, Binghuai?" Suddenly his mind reflected the shadow of Yang Qiming back then.

However, he still refused to believe his ears, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "You... Who are you? ”

When Yang Qiming heard that he actually used the word 'in the end', he couldn't help laughing and said, "You should know who I am." That's right, you're certainly not dreaming, it's me calling you. ”

Nan Binghuai did not dilute his resentment towards Yang Qiming because of the years, and couldn't help but snort: "Do you still have the face to call me?" ”

"Alas, it's been so long, and you're still holding a grudge against me?"

"Hmph, as long as I'm alive, I won't forget the girlfriend I hated back then!"

Yang Qiming couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said Binghuai." You're an accomplished astronomer now, why are you still so small? ”

Nan Binghuai replied coldly: "If your lover runs away with someone else, will you be generous?" ”

"Binghuai, don't talk so ugly, okay? If my lover ran away with someone else, I would be glad it would. Aren't you a blessing in disguise?"

"The surname is Yang, you dare to say cool things?"

"Binghuai, please don't get excited, what I said is from the bottom of my heart. I have long learned that you have married Xiangyue's roommate Zhang Meina. Do you still think that Zhang Meina is not as good as Xiangyue? ”

Nan Binghuai was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched: "In this way, I also want to thank you for snatching Xiangyue?" ”

"Not really. However, what I need to make clear to you is that even if I didn't follow Xiangyue back then, she wouldn't come back to you. She may not belong to you at all. ”

"The surname is Yang, please don't sell it cheaply. If you really think like this, why didn't you dare to face me back then, or even contact me for many years? ”

"Alas, I'm not a thief, but I take into account your feelings back then. Why should I ask for my own suffering? ”

"Hmph, do you think that contacting me now is not asking for trouble? Are you just provoking me on the phone and daring to appear in front of me? ”

"Binghuai, if you want, I will appear in front of you soon."

Nan Binghuai was stunned: "Have you returned to China?" ”

"Yes. When I left my book, I once said that I would never forget that I am a Chinese. Now, I have returned to serve my country, and I am the first to visit you. ”

"You... Where are you now? ”

"I've come to our observatory and I'm in the department."

When Nan Binghuai heard this, his head was about to swell, and he dropped the microphone by mistake.

Nan Binghuai's voice came out of the microphone hanging from the telephone line: "Hey, Binghuai, what's wrong with you?" Without saying anything, I'll go straight to your office. ”

Nan Binghuai calmed down for a long time, and finally leaned over to pick up the microphone and said, "I'll go to the teaching and research room." Immediately, he snapped the microphone onto the landline.

Nan Binghuai's thoughts were completely confused, and he really couldn't understand why Yang Qiming wanted to break into his life? What is the purpose of facing yourself now? In fact, after ten years of baptism, he has already been indifferent to everything that happened back then. But Yang Qiming's sudden appearance still made him quickly recall the past, and the pain of the past swept over again.

However, at this time, Nan Binghuai is no longer the Nan Binghuai of the past, he has become one of the few figures in the Ziguang Observatory, not only with the demeanor of a scientist, but also with the reserved temperament of a leader. When he stabilizes his emotions, he can calmly face his former rival or even his first love.

When he arrived at the teaching and research department along the corridor and two flights of stairs, he found that Yang Qiming's back was talking to a former colleague...

He then "coughed" fiercely at the other party's back, and Yang Qiming interrupted the conversation with the colleague and suddenly looked back.

Nan Binghuai looked at him, and his heart suddenly sank, Yang Qiming, who was middle-aged at this moment, was still heroic, and the years did not wantonly destroy his face, but outlined a few mature temperaments. It can be seen how young and proud he has been in the past ten years.

Nan Binghuai is just a mortal after all, and it is impossible not to have a trace of jealousy, but he can only hide everything deep in his heart.

"Binghuai!"

With Yang Qiming's emotional call, inexplicable tears quickly moistened his eyes.

Nan Binghuai couldn't express such excitement like the other party, but just stared at the other party indifferently: "Yang Qiming, do you really have the face to come back?" ”

Yang Qiming controlled his emotions and replied very calmly: "This is my maiden home, why can't I come back?" ”

"Hmph, do you think you're married? Wrong, you are clearly betrayal! ”

Seeing this, the colleague was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Yang finally came back, don't be angry." ”

Nan Binghuai glared at him: "There's nothing to do with you here, just do whatever you have to do!" ”

The colleague smiled, and then smiled at Yang Qiming: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you." ”

Yang Qiming nodded politely at him.

Nan Binghuai saw that his colleagues were a little attached to Yang Qiming, and he was angry.

He waited for his colleague to close the door and leave, and immediately poured cold words at the other party: "Mr. Yang? It turns out that you are developed abroad, have you come here to show off? Don't you think doing so is a clown? ”

Yang Qiming didn't move, obviously these years of cultivation had made him not surprised, Chong Nan Binghuai smiled: "Binghuai, you seem to have too deep a prejudice against me. It was out of my affection for this place that I came here in a hurry. ”

"Really? Why don't I see that you have any affection for this? ”

"Isn't it true that I left here when I left back then?"

"I didn't say that, because you left to please a woman. That woman is more important to you than any country and career. ”

"Binghuai!" Yang Qiming said gloomily, "You are now a famous scientist, why are you still so immature in terms of rationality?" Isn't it true that people who go abroad are not patriotic? If you leave this collective, you don't love astronomy? In fact, I have been fulfilling another dream. ”

"Oh, now that you have Xiangyue and a considerable family property, what dream do you want to come true?"

"Motherland Dream! Space Dream! ”

Nan Binghuai was stunned, and then snorted in his nostrils: "Don't be ashamed!" ”

"Binghuai, do you think I was willing to leave my favorite post? It was in a situation of helplessness. ”

"I know. Because of Xiangyue. She did the same at the time, but I didn't give in. ”

"You're wrong. The main reason I left was because of disappointment with reality. At the beginning, we had a lot of talents, but the equipment was backward and the funds were scarce. Tell me, how can we astronomers do our best? I felt that I was useless anymore, so I chose to leave. Of course, the factor of Xiangyue is also among them. ”

Nan Binghuai sneered: "But I chose to persevere, didn't I achieve anything?" Of course, you may not see it that way, because you have wealth and beauty. These two are more important in your mind. However, for me, being able to dedicate everything to the astronomical cause of my country is the greatest success in my life. It seems that our values are different, and our trade-offs are different. ”

Yang Qiming calmed down again: "Is it possible that only you who insist on being on the front line of the astronomical field can contribute to the country's astronomical cause, and I, the person who resigned early and went to sea, can't do my part?" ”

Nan Binghuai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "What did you do?" ”

"I have donated 3 million yuan to Taili as a scientific research fund."

"Three million?" Nan Binghuai was a little incredible, "No wonder Xiao Qiu was respectful to you just now, it turns out that you have become a philanthropist." ”

"You're not right. I am not giving charity, but I want to contribute to the country's astronomical cause, and also to make up for my regrets back then. ”

"Yang Qiming, do you think you can buy back the respect you lost back then?"

"I didn't feel ashamed to go out back then, so I didn't stick to this sentence at all. I just want to do my best for the astronomical cause of my motherland. ”

"Childlike feelings? What a child! ”

"Binghuai, please understand a truth, not only you scientists who stick to the front line of astronomy are silently dedicating themselves to the country's astronomical cause, but there are also many unsung heroes behind you."

"Oh, looks like you're one of them?"

"You can disapprove of me, but you can't disapprove of your wife, right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand? As the saying goes, behind a successful man there must be a successful woman. This is especially true for those of you who are engaged in scientific research. If it weren't for your loved ones who were silently paying behind your back, would you have the opportunity to devote yourself to your career? ”

Nan Binghuai had no words, so he could only acquiesce to the other party's words.

Yang Qiming took the opportunity to preach again: "For a country, if it wants to make progress in science and technology, it must have a stable economic foundation as a backing. The scientific and technological level of our country has lagged behind others for so many years, not because Chinese scientists can't do it, but because it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. Matter determines consciousness, this is dialectic. Therefore, when our scientific research could not be carried out, I decided to go abroad and serve our country in another way. ”

Nan Binghuai sneered again: "You said it really nicely. Could it be that science and technology cannot save the country, but can only be saved by industry? ”
