Chapter 160: Chapter 7 Waiting for a Meteor Shower_2 Chapter 160: Chapter 7 Waiting for a Meteor Shower_2 This must be the kind of romance that people often talk about among science students.

Looking back now,

Lin Xian didn’t know where the issue with the “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” really lay.

Everyone in the world thought it was wrong,

but the truth proved it had to be right.

Could it really be as Li Qiqi had said...

[Is it not the Cosmological Constant that’s wrong, but humanity’s understanding?]

Things were certainly getting more interesting.

“I really want to fund Liu Feng to continue his research, can you help me convince him?”

Lin Xian explained to Li Qiqi in the wheelchair:

“Since we both believe ‘Introduction to the Cosmological Constant’ is correct...

I think our goals align on this matter.

...

Perhaps giving Liu Feng more funding and a better lab could really lead to some results.”

“I talked to Liu Feng about this just now, but he immediately refused.

In fact, I don’t quite understand.”

Lin Xian spread his hands and continued:

“He’s working so hard delivering takeout and tutoring; isn’t it all for the money too?

If he takes my funding, it wouldn’t hinder his research, nor would it prevent him from being with you.

Why wouldn’t he want that?”

At this point, Li Qiqi sighed:

“The setbacks Liu Feng has suffered over the years have been too great, plus my illness...

He doesn’t even believe in his own research anymore; how could he have the face to accept your funding?”

“To be honest with you, Liu Feng hasn’t done any math research for almost a year.

He works day and night, earning money, like a broken clock.

The hands are still moving, but the rhythm is wrong.”

“I really want to do something for Liu Feng too, but you see my condition...

there’s nothing I can do.

I think the only thing I can do...

is to leave this world sooner, to stop holding up Liu Feng’s life.”

“No, no, no, don’t think like that.”

Lin Xian quickly waved his hand, urging her:

“You must have confidence in the progress of science nowadays, especially recently, with countries all around the world researching the field of Hibernation Pods.

Maybe in a year or two, the prototype of a Hibernation Pod would be developed, and then you could go into hibernation to get treated in the future.”

Li Qiqi merely smiled and looked down:

“Actually, I haven’t thought about things that far off.

My only wish, and my only regret...

is to see a meteor shower before I die.”

“I’ve always loved meteor showers since I was a child, but it’s always been through television.

I’ve never actually watched one in real life.

The major in astronomy I applied for in college was also because I like meteor showers.”

The night breeze blew, and Li Qiqi coughed weakly twice.

She lifted her head, looked at Lin Xian, and pointed inside the house:

“Excuse me, I should go back.”

“Yeah, take care of yourself.”

Lin Xian waved goodbye to her:

“Good night.”

...

2 a.m.

Vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom squeak—

The sound of a motorbike approached and finally switched off in the yard, and the house door was pushed open.

“You’re back~”

Inside the house, Li Qiqi turned her wheelchair around, smiling at Liu Feng as he took off his delivery helmet.

On the dining table in the middle of the living room, there were two simple dishes and a bowl of porridge.

“Why don’t you rest earlier, you don’t need to prepare a meal for me, I can eat anything.”

Liu Feng hung the helmet on the wall, took off his delivery vest, and rubbed his hair that had been flattened against his scalp.

“I’ve been sleeping all day, hehe, I can’t sleep all day long.”

Li Qiqi moved her wheelchair, gesturing Liu Feng to come and sit down:

“Come sit down and eat, it’s been reheated several times.”

Liu Feng sat at the dining table, received chopsticks from Li Qiqi, and began to eat:

“It’s going to get colder these coming days, remember to put on more clothes if you go out to the yard.”

Li Qiqi nodded, watching Liu Feng eat voraciously with a smile:

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself when you’re not home.

Speaking of which...

tonight, I met a very interesting person in the yard, we had a great conversation.”

Liu Feng picked up a slice of cucumber with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth:

“This area isn’t very safe, don’t talk to strangers.”

“I’m not a child!” Li Qiqi huffed:

“And...

that person wasn’t a bad guy, he was a very nice person.”

“How do you know he’s a nice person?”

“He said ‘Introduction to the Cosmological Constant’ is correct!” Li Qiqi said happily.

“...”

Liu Feng’s chopsticks paused in midair, the sliver of potato dangling powerlessly.

After about two seconds.

Liu Feng put the sliver of potato into his mouth, bit into a large steamed bun, and chewed vigorously:

“Saying ‘Introduction to the Cosmological Constant’ is right, makes him a good person?”

“Yep!” Li Qiqi nodded and said with a smile:

“In my opinion, that makes him a good person.”

“You...” Liu Feng gave a resigned laugh and continued to eat:

“By your logic, everyone else in the world is a bad person.”

“That includes me.”
