save the bachelors

Chapter 8 8

The five came to a steakhouse recommended by Penny.

"Today is Saturday, we should have Chinese food." Sheldon frowned after seeing Penny treat them to steak.

Seeing him say that, Penny couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

She kindly invited everyone to dinner, but she didn't expect that someone would not appreciate it.

"Sheldon, be kind." Leonard quickly reminded.

"But I'm not wrong, Saturday is Chinese food," Sheldon insisted, not one to give in easily.

Seeing him so picky, Penny became more and more embarrassed.

I didn't expect to invite guests by myself, but I was able to invite them out.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help shaking his head.

"Sheldon, listen to Penny, we will eat whatever she invites us to eat!!" Howard said doglegly.

"It's Saturday, so we should have Chinese food," Sheldon continued, not one to give in easily.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Penny was about to give in and take everyone to Chinese food.

At this moment, Xiang Nan said, "Sheldon, allow me to quote what Spock said before his death, 'The needs of the many are more important than the few.'"

As soon as Xiang Nan quoted Spock's classic lines in "Star Trek", Sheldon, a loyal Spock fan, immediately succumbed.

"Okay then." He nodded.

Seeing that he finally gave in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Penny glanced at Xiang Nan gratefully.

……

After entering the restaurant, after ordering the dishes, everyone chatted while eating.

Leonard and Howard both wanted to get close to Penny and to know more about her, so they frequently asked her questions.

Where were you born, where you grew up, where did you go to school, where did you graduate, where did you work?

In contrast, Xiang Nan and Sheldon sat quietly aside.

Sheldon didn't like these topics and didn't want to be involved in such boring conversations.

Xiang Nan knew that girls were the most mindful of boys checking their hukou the first time they met.

He has so many blind dates, so he has some experience.

Penny was indeed tortured by Leonard and Howard.

She invited everyone to dinner tonight to express her gratitude, not from exposing the old bottom.

"Raj, what's your job?" she coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"I'm doing astrophysics research. If you don't see the stars in the sky, I'll study them all." Xiang Nan pointed to the sky outside the window.

"Wow, you are amazing." Penny said with admiration.

Leonard and Howard both introduced their jobs just now, but she didn't understand a word.

And Xiang Nan's work is clear at a glance, it is actually studying the stars, which is quite tall in her opinion.

"If you are interested, you can come to my astronomy room and I will show you the stars in the sky." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Really? Good!" Penny nodded in agreement.

"Looking at the stars is no big deal. If you're interested, I can let you drive on Mars." Howard said with jealousy when he saw that Xiang Nan had successfully made an appointment with Penny.

"No need." Penny glanced at him and replied indifferently.

Howard was rejected, unavoidably a little discouraged.

……

"It's only eight o'clock, and it's still very early. Would you like to have a drink?" Howard took the initiative to invite after the meal.

"Today is Star Six, and Saturday is laundry night." Sheldon said immediately, and then he wondered, "I really don't know what happened to you today."

"Sheldon~" Leonard begged.

He wanted to be with Penny, he didn't want to take Sheldon home.

"Leonard, you know mine, it's laundry night and we have to go back," Sheldon insisted.

"Sheldon, Spock said before he died..." Leonard was about to learn from Xiang Nan, citing Spock's famous words to persuade him.

At this moment, Howard sent a divine assist, "Bye Leonard."

"Um..." Sheldon suddenly looked at Leonard proudly.

Leonard had a bitter face, and had to reluctantly bid Penny goodbye and take Sheldon away.

"Okay, where are we going?" Howard said eagerly.

"Actually, I want to go back to the astronomy room to reconfirm my findings." Xiang Nan said.

"You're not mistaken! There are beautiful women here today, and you are actually going to work. You are such an idiot!" Howard couldn't help but lower his voice when he saw Xiang Nan say this.

It's just that no matter how softly he spoke, he didn't hide it from Penny's ears.

Seeing Howard say so, Penny was the first to despise.

As for Xiang Nan's approach, he expressed his appreciation.

"Can I go to the astronomy room with you, I want to see those stars." She suggested to Xiang Nan proactively.

When Howard saw this, he was immediately envious.

"If that's the case, then I'll go too." He also said quickly.

Xiang Nan has nothing to do.

To be honest, picking up girls is really not the first priority for him.

The so-called sharpening knives do not mistake woodcutters!As long as you make yourself better, you should not worry about not having women.

Moreover, Penny, it is not his best choice.

While she's young, pretty, blonde, blue-eyed, a quintessentially American sweetheart, and likable, her love story is too rich.

Leonard could accept it, but Xiang Nan couldn't.

And after watching the whole episode, Leonard and Penny, the official CP, also left a deep impression on him.

Xiang Nan subconsciously thought that Penny was Leonard's, and he was now a good friend with Leonard, so he didn't want to destroy this relationship.

……

The three then drove to Caltech and entered the astronomy room.

"Wow, this is where you work?" Penny said in surprise when she entered the astronomy room, "But I didn't see the telescope, where is it?"

There are many computers and instruments in the astronomy room, but there is only one telescope.

"In Hawaii, the observation angle and weather conditions are the best. The telescope is located there, and the best observation effect can be obtained." Howard quickly explained, "Then the signal can be transmitted to the screen in real time through the optical fiber."

"Hmm." Penny blinked, not too interested in this.

"An interesting thing to tell you. I observed some optical flashes a few days ago, which may be reflected by natural objects. But natural objects are usually weak in reflection, so they are likely to be alien artifacts." Xiang Nan laughed again said.

"Wow, cool!" Penny's eyes widened when she heard this.

"You sit down first, I'll finish my work first." Xiang Nan laughed again.

"OK, you're busy first." Penny nodded.

Xiang Nan immediately came to the workbench and started to work.

He wanted to take pictures of the planet TOI 700d with the Keck telescope in Hawaii.

Because to register a new star, in addition to the coordinates, you also need a photo of it.An application is then made to the International Astronomical Union, which can be certified only after further scientific verification confirms that it is indeed a nova.

Xiang Nan now only has coordinates and no photos of the planet, so he has to make up for this lesson now.
