Chapter 1474: New Year’s Gift

Just now at the New Year’s Eve dinner table, from Grandpa Mo Yu, to Uncle Emperor Mo, and even to the fourth uncle, all gave her New Year’s gifts, only Ning Yan didn’t say anything, she reminded him a few days ago too.

"Why did you bring me up here? Mr. Feng Qi doesn’t like us doing this." Ning Yan withdrew his hand and reminded her.

When going upstairs just now, Ning Yan could feel that the look from Feng Huaijin, that big brother, was quite intriguing.

"Come on, come on, I heard from Professor Tang that there will be a Gemini meteor shower tonight." Feng Yi pulled him to the third floor, under the patches of moonlight, they saw rows of astronomical telescopes, clearly professional equipment.

"Tonight’s meteors can only be seen with professional astronomical telescopes. Of course, these devices aren’t as professional as Professor Tang’s, but they will do." Feng Yi said while fiddling with her telescope.

Ning Yan looked around and felt that it was inappropriate for the two of them to be alone on the third floor. Just as he was about to leave, Feng Yi pulled him over.

In his ear was Feng Yi’s excited voice: "Uncle Ning, look quickly, the meteor shower has started, it’s really super beautiful!" For this one whose future major achievements are all in astronomy, learning about tonight’s meteor shower from Professor Tang and seeing it with specific professional instruments might just make him fall in love with this research and then devote himself to astronomy?

Ning Yan frowned and looked through the telescope, watching stars swiftly slide across the galaxy, far more beautiful than direct viewing.

But... that’s about it, he’s not really interested in this, maybe he’d be happier with a pile of data.

In his eyes, those stars are just meteors, not much different from the stones scattered on the ground, nothing more.

Feng Yi added beside him: "Uncle Ning, ordinary people can’t see this meteor shower; consider this my New Year’s gift to you, how does that feel? Happy?"

New Year’s gift...

Ning Yan’s whole body shook, and the eyes placed in front of the telescope trembled slightly, as if he thought he had heard wrong.

This is... a New Year’s gift.

No one has ever specifically given him a New Year’s gift, although the research institute sends something before the Spring Festival, but... that’s something everyone gets.

No one would painstakingly think about what to give him.

Ning Yan, in a trance, stared straight at the stars beneath the telescope.

Suddenly, these originally unnamed stars had their own special meaning, their own names, a feeling that was very subtle, very... indescribable.

Feng Yi asked beside him: "Uncle Ning, do you think it’s beautiful?"

Ning Yan stared at the telescope in silence for a while and said: "Not bad."

Just not bad...

Feng Yi, undeterred, said: "Never mind, in May, let’s go to the desert in Saudi Arabia to see a once-in-a-century meteor shower, that’s truly beautiful! At that time, it won’t just be not bad, it’ll be beautiful to the extreme!"

Ning Yan still said nothing, and Feng Yi, feeling bored standing beside him, nudged him and said: "Let me have a look too."

Ning Yan suddenly said: "But isn’t this the New Year’s gift you gave me?"

Feng Yi: "...Then you continue watching."

Feng Yi sat beside him for a while, watching Ning Yan pull back, probably finished.

Feng Yi crossed her arms and said somewhat sulkily: "Uncle Ning, didn’t I tell you to prepare a New Year’s gift for me? I know you definitely didn’t prepare one for me."
