Chapter 181 His efforts and perseverance in pursuing his dream have always inspired me
In the early morning of June 6, after nearly five months of hard writing, Wen Song finally finished the last word of his graduation thesis and submitted it.
After doing all this, she quickly ran upstairs and rushed into the bedroom, then collapsed on the bed due to exhaustion.
Cheng Che had fallen asleep, but woke up when he heard her voice. He hugged her in his arms and asked with a smile, "Have you finished writing?"
"Yeah!" Wen Song nodded excitedly, "It's finally over."
Cheng Che was also somewhat delighted and said, "I didn't expect that Sister would finish it a month ahead of schedule. I thought you would delay it until the last week and rush to finish it."
"there's no way."
Wen Song stretched, rolled around on the bed, and rolled back to Cheng Che's side, hugging him and saying, "Professor Ferrero said that her vacation will start on July 7th, so if I can't finish my thesis and defense before July 15th, I can only wait until her vacation ends on October 7th. But my supervisor at Oxford wants me to enroll in the fall and participate in research. It's so annoying."
"Sister, are you going to the UK in October?" Cheng Che was a little surprised. "Didn't Sister apply for admission to next winter semester? The date on the offer is also January 10th."
Wen Song sighed and said, "That was originally the case, but my supervisor sent me a lot of emails, saying that he hoped the project could proceed earlier, because starting in December this year, ESA will work with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to develop a Venus probe, which is also related to the research direction of our project. So he asked me if I could get the MSc degree before October and then enroll."
"Okay..." Cheng Che felt a little sad, but he had no choice. Thinking that he would be separated from her in more than three months, he felt very reluctant to let her go. He hugged Wen Song tightly in his arms and refused to let go.
"Ache, you're strangling me." Wen Song poked him, raised his head and whispered, "Let me go."
"I won't!" Cheng Che still held her tightly in his arms, his voice inadvertently tinged with tears.
"My sister is going to England in three months, and I don't want to be separated from you. I thought we could spend some time together after you graduated, but you are going to Oxford so soon. Honey, how about I come to England to train when the ski resorts open in December? That way I can still be with you every day."
"Don't make trouble." Wen Song kissed his chin and tried to comfort him. "There are no good ski resorts in the UK. You can just train well in Munich or Switzerland. Although I will go to Oxford in October, I don't have to attend classes, so my schedule will be more flexible. I promise you that I will come back to accompany you every weekend, okay?"
"Okay..." Cheng Che heard her say that, and had no other choice but to kiss her and said, "Then every day from now on, sister will be with me, and you are not allowed to leave me, not even for a day, okay?"
"Okay." Wen Song couldn't help but smile as he watched him being so clingy. "I will definitely accompany you every day. Come with me to get a haircut tomorrow."
"Ah? Cut your hair?" Cheng Che asked in confusion, reaching out to touch her long light brown hair. "Why do you want to cut your hair? Don't you like long hair the most? It's good like this now, why do you want to cut it?"
Wen Song smiled, played with his hair and said, "Summer is here, I want to change my hair color, and I've had long hair for many years, I want to try short hair."
"Okay." Cheng Che thought to himself that he had never seen her with short hair, so he smiled and agreed, "Then you take a nap first, and I'll go get your hair cut with you when you wake up."
"No rush." Wen Song yawned, "Tomorrow, I'll make an appointment first. I have to go to Dusseldorf for a haircut."
"Why go to Dusseldorf? It's so far, honey."
"Because there is a very good Japanese barber shop in Düsseldorf. They give very good haircuts. The barber shops here in Munich are incomparable."
Wen Song said, and touched Cheng Che's head again, "Your hair is a little long, so let's cut it together."
"Okay~" Cheng Che knew her perfectionism and agreed immediately, "Then you can accompany me to lock the bridge in Cologne, okay?"
Wen Song nodded, hugged him and said lazily, "Okay, whatever you say is fine."
At 7:11 p.m. on July , Wen Song attended his graduation thesis defense on time.
On that day, she wore a Chanel tweed jacket with a white base and black edges, paired with a white inner layer and Celine black shorts, a pair of black mid-heeled loafers, and a small section of black ankle socks, which made her legs look even longer. The only jewelry she wore was a pair of diamond-shaped platinum diamond earrings, which was formal and capable yet noble and elegant.
The silver-gray medium-short hair made Wen Song's originally cold and beautiful features look more heroic. Cheng Che was used to seeing her with long hair, but he didn't expect her to look more elegant and more individual with short hair.
The crowd present that day was particularly complete. In addition to the professors in charge of the defense, Wen Song's classmates, members of the ESO research group, and Cheng Che, not only did Wen Yiheng take time out of his busy schedule to listen to her defense, but even Qiu Xuanyan flew over from China.
After the defense began, Cheng Che couldn't help but secretly admire Wen Song as she gave a confident presentation on the stage. She was born to be an academic. In his mind, he seemed to have imagined what she would look like as a professor in a few years.
At the final thank-you stage, Wen Song thanked her mentor, professor, classmates and colleagues in turn. At the end, her eyes passed over the crowd in the front row and fell on Cheng Che.
The light-colored lights made her stand out more dazzling, and her gentle voice was firm. "Finally, I want to thank my boyfriend, Roche. I have never had dreams or goals. I chose to study astrophysics only because I don't need to socialize with others in this major. But Roche, as the world's best freestyle skier, his efforts and persistence in pursuing his dreams have always inspired me.
In the field of astrophysics, we all adhere to the principle of not breaking through limits. Just as small celestial bodies will disintegrate after breaking through the Roche limit, there are countless theories and realities that prove that once the limit is broken, it will not bring good results. This is what Roche and I said nearly a year ago.
But in the past year, he proved to me with his actual actions that in life, we often need to challenge our limits. Just like a year ago, he successfully challenged his limits and made a double cork1800, won the World Cup championship, and created history in Asian skiing. This event completely reshaped my values and my attitude towards research work.
He once asked me why I studied so hard when I didn't want to be an astrophysicist. My answer at the time was that there was nothing else I could do. But now, I have a different answer.
Even though I still don't have the dream of becoming an astrophysicist, I want to do this to the extreme. I want to break through my own limits and become an outstanding astrophysicist. I hope that one day, the probe I participated in designing and developing can fly over the earth and even go to the Kuiper Belt. Even if it is difficult, I will do my best to try and break through.
Roche, thank you for your company and encouragement, I love you. ”
As the words fell, warm applause rang out in the classroom. Even Professor Ferrero said: "It is really touching. In this year, I have also witnessed the changes in Iseylia. When I asked her about her future plans, she no longer told me that she didn't know."
Then she turned her head, looked at the young man in a suit in the back row, and said with a smile: "Roche, I think you should come up and hug Iseylia now."
Cheng Che was still hesitant, but Wen Song looked at him and stretched out her hands to him. Cheng Che could no longer suppress his emotions, and quickly ran to the podium and hugged her tightly. At that moment, tears welled up in his eyes.
He always thought that it was Wen Song who encouraged him to pursue his dream. But he didn't expect that he had also changed her invisibly and participated in her life more than he expected.
This was one of the most important moments in her life. Her master's thesis would accompany her throughout her life, and she wrote him into the acknowledgments. She even thanked him at the end of her defense and told him, "I love you."
He suddenly thought that even if they could not be together in the future, the traces of his existence in her life would never be erased.
She had his company in her life and they loved each other, and that was enough.
