Chapter 22 Astronomer Xu An?
Chapter 22 Astronomer Xu An?
The interview didn't last long. Afterwards, the host asked Xu An and Jiang Zhaoyue a few more questions, including what Xu An's major was and why Jiang Zhaoyue came to participate in the program.
What made Xu An both amused and exasperated was that, perhaps due to some psychological trauma, whenever asked about him, the female host would speak very quickly, as if afraid he would cause some trouble again and wanting the interview to end quickly.
Fortunately, Xu An didn't pull any more tricks and answered the questions normally.
This relieved the host.
Even so, the interview program featuring Xu An and Jiang Zhaoyue was quite successful. Jiang Zhaoyue's outstanding looks were pleasing to the eye, while Xu An's occasional humor kept the viewers in the live stream flooding the chat with comments.
After the interview ended and the live broadcast was temporarily shut down, the female host gave Xu An a helpless smile.
"Professor Xu An, please don't tease me if there are any more interviews. I was so embarrassed just now."
Upon hearing this, Xu An adopted a serious expression.
"Go tell that to your director!"
"What do you mean?" The female host looked bewildered.
"Director Chen told me to create some entertainment value and liven up the atmosphere during the interview."
Xu An said in a very serious tone.
"Is that so?" The host looked hesitant. Chen Hong hadn't informed her beforehand.
"Would I lie to you? I'm part of our production team too!"
Seeing Xu An's confident demeanor, the female host finally believed him.
After the host left the video room, Jiang Zhaoyue, who was standing next to her, showed a suspicious look on her face.
"I don't recall Director Chen giving you any instructions."
"Didn't Director Chen say that the production team should cooperate with my publicity efforts?"
"An interview is also a form of promotion. For better results, I believe the host will understand!"
"Was that just for the sake of the show?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly asked with a hint of annoyance.
"I don't understand what you're saying." Seeing Jiang Zhaoyue's slightly flushed face, Xu An blinked and began to play dumb.
"Did you just smell something?!"
Seeing Xu's blank expression, Jiang Zhaoyue stomped her foot in anger and made her point even clearer.
"Ahem, I'll go check on Wanwan's singing practice!"
Seeing that playing dumb was useless, Xu An had no choice but to make a million-dollar evacuation.
Running out of the video room, Xu An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Zhaoyue hadn't chased after him. He was glad that he had reacted quickly, otherwise he probably would have been trapped inside and beaten up by Jiang Zhaoyue.
Xu An was unaware that Jiang Zhaoyue had no intention of chasing or stopping him.
Maybe she wasn't actually as angry as she seemed?
In the audio-visual room.
"Hmph! You're lucky you ran fast."
As Jiang Zhaoyue watched Xu An's somewhat disheveled figure, the anger on her face gradually subsided, replaced by a hint of shyness.
Xu An was unaware of Jiang Zhaoyue's emotional changes behind him. Looking around, he realized that he had actually run into the courtyard.
After thinking for a moment, Xu An did not turn back, but walked straight out of the courtyard.
Now that we're out, let's go see Shen Wanwan.
Shen Wanwan wasn't far from the cabin. After walking for a while, Xu An saw Shen Wanwan sitting quietly under an old locust tree, with the guitar she had brought beside her.
The shadows of the trees fell gently, obscuring Shen Wanwan's features somewhat, leaving only her bright eyes visible.
Two or three fireflies approached her and gently circled around her, but she seemed oblivious, staring blankly at the rice paddies in front of her.
A breeze blew from the fields, carrying the scent of rice blossoms, ruffling her skirt and hair. She turned her head slightly, as if she had heard something, or perhaps remembered something.
A firefly flashed on her shoulder for a moment, then flew away.
For some reason, Xu An felt that Shen Wanwan was somewhat sad.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu An still took a few steps forward.
"Wanwan, aren't you afraid of mosquitoes sitting here all by yourself?"
He spoke in a casual manner.
Upon hearing Xu An's voice, Shen Wanwan seemed to suddenly come to life, her calm expression suddenly becoming lively.
She looked at Xu An, as if she hadn't expected him to come looking for her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Xu... Brother An, did you come here specifically to see me?"
Looking at the smile on Shen Wanwan's face, Xu An felt a little guilty.
Although he hadn't had a lot of romantic experience in either his past life or now, he understood that he absolutely couldn't say that he was trying to avoid Jiang Zhaoyue.
So Xu An nodded naturally.
"I was a little worried about you when I saw you hadn't come back after the interview, so I came to check on you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan's smile widened. She patted the lawn beside her and took out a white silk scarf from her guitar case, spreading it on top of it.
"Brother An, please sit down too!"
Upon seeing this, Xu An couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
You can sit directly on the lawn, and I'll sit on the violin cloth.
Isn't this a bit of a reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?
Xu An was secretly relieved that there was no live stream, otherwise Shen Wanwan's fans would probably have come over overnight to bombard him with criticism.
"You sit here, I'll just sit on the grass. Anyway, my clothes are definitely cheaper than yours!"
Xu An casually sat down next to Shen Wanwan, then lay down on the lawn, looking at the starry sky above him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"These stars are so bright! Wanwan, do you want to look at them too?"
Shen Wanwan looked at Xu An lying beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then lay down as well. Looking at the stars in the sky, her eyes gradually brightened.
"Wow, the feeling of lying on the ground and looking at the stars is so different from looking up at them!"
Shen Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, like a child who had received a new toy.
Xu An looked at the smile that unconsciously appeared on Shen Wanwan's face, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
He didn't understand why Shen Wanwan seemed unhappy, and asking directly would be a bit abrupt, so he simply didn't ask.
Let's just make Shen Wanwan happy.
Judging from the current situation, the results are not bad.
He stretched out his hand, pointed to a star in the sky, and said in a popular science tone:
"Wanwan, do you know what those two stars are?"
"have no idea!"
"That's the Altair and Vega stars!"
Hearing Xu An's words, Shen Wanwan's eyes lit up. Then she pointed to a star and asked curiously:
"And this one?"
"This is Polaris."
Xu An glanced at it, then spoke without hesitation.
"But isn't that to the south?"
Shen Wanwan said hesitantly.
Xu An: ...
Shen Wanwan looked at Xu An, who had suddenly fallen silent, and a teasing smile appeared on her face.
"Brother An, those two stars weren't Altair and Vega, were they?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An's embarrassment deepened.
Seeing the embarrassment on Xu An's face, Shen Wanwan's teasing expression suddenly disappeared.
"Brother An, even though you're talking nonsense, I'm still very happy."
Beneath the sparse shadows of the trees, the girl's eyes shone with a light brighter than the stars in the sky.
