Chapter 108 I Hope You Understand Me

On the morning of January 1, Wen Song was driving to the airport when she suddenly received an email. She had no intention of responding to it, but when she saw the sender, she immediately stopped the car on the side of the road and opened the email.

The sender was her internship and dissertation supervisor, Professor Ferrero.

She immediately opened the email. Professor Ferrero's email was very brief. He just told her that she had read Wen Song's research report, which was very well written and had a thorough study of the Kuiper Belt. He suggested that she make some changes to the report to increase the social and economic significance of the research.

She was invited to participate in the International Astrophysics Symposium held in Vancouver in April and the report was presented at the symposium.

However, the professor also reminded her in the email that the deadline for the seminar was 1:28 PST on January 2, which meant she only had two days to revise it.

It was not a big problem at first. It was just a matter of making some changes based on the professor's feedback and adding the sociological significance of the research. But Wen Song only knew academics and knew nothing about sociology, not to mention that she didn't think that studying the formation of Kuiper belt objects would have any significance for society.

Therefore, she could only send an email to the professor and tell her about her troubles. Fortunately, this time, Professor Ferrero responded to her quickly and agreed to discuss the issue online with her at 3 pm.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Wen Song was a little embarrassed when she saw the time. At that time, she was on a plane from Munich to Denver. Although there was Wi-Fi on the plane, the network was not stable. It was okay to send emails and check information, but it was definitely not possible to hold a video conference.

She thought for a long time on the side of the road. On one side was Cheng Che's competition, and on the other was the opportunity she had always dreamed of to participate in the International Astrophysics Symposium, where she could even present her research results. This was undoubtedly a great honor for a graduate student like her, and would also add a strong touch to her resume when applying for a PhD.

After weighing the pros and cons, she called Cheng Che.

Cheng Che was still sleeping, and was a little surprised to receive her call. Although his sweet dream was disturbed, he still smiled and said, "Sister, what's the matter? Have you arrived at the airport?"

"Ache, I'm sorry." Wen Song bit his lip apologetically when he heard his words, and said with a hard heart, "I probably can't come."

"What happened?" Cheng Che asked quickly.

Wen Song then told him the email the professor had just sent him and said to him, "Ache, this opportunity is very important to me."

"But there are still three days left, baby." Cheng Che had been in the United States for a week and naturally missed her very much. Seeing Jiang Xu showing his love for his girlfriend in front of him every day, he was very envious and hoped that Wen Song could come earlier.

"You can wait until the competition is over before writing, right? Every time you write a report or other assignment, don't you wait until the last two days before the deadline to do it? BB, I believe in you, you can definitely do it. And you can also write it in the United States, right?"

Wen Song was a little dissatisfied when she heard his words. She lowered her voice and said, "Social research is my weak point. I need to spend a lot of time to combine my research results with social significance. And I have a meeting with my supervisor at 3 pm. Sorry, I probably won't have time to come to the United States."

"Song Song..." Cheng Che was also a little unhappy, "Can you consider it for me? You promised me."

“I promised you, but I didn’t know my advisor would tell me this all of a sudden. Now it’s happened. Sorry Roche, this conference is very important to me.” Wen Song sighed and said, “Hope you will understand.”

"I know. Of course I can only understand you." Cheng Che was helpless. "Even if I make a scene and ask you to come to America to watch my game, will you come?"

"I can't." Wen Song said lightly.

"Yes, so you didn't ask for my opinion at all, you just told me about this matter." Cheng Che sighed and said, "I know, you go ahead and get busy."

"Ah Che." Wen Song could hear his displeasure and disappointment, and knew that it would be bad for him to break his promise, so he comforted him softly, "I will definitely spend more time with you after I submit the report on the 28th. Besides, we will be on holiday on February 2th, and you will have the World Championships later, so I will train with you, okay?"

"No, you have to write your graduation thesis soon, don't worry about me."

Seeing that his tone was stiff and that he even refused her offer to train with him, Wen Song said helplessly, "Ah Che, what do you want me to do? I never asked you to give up the competition or training for me."

"I don't need you to do anything for me, because even if I tell you, will you do it?" Cheng Che asked back.

"I hope you can come to the United States to compete with me. Will you come? You said you would accompany me to prepare for the World Championships, but what if you have something else to do at that time? Sister, my competition will not exceed 2 hours in total. You can write reports at other times, even on the plane. Can't you give me this little time?"

After hearing what he said, Wen Song suddenly became angry, especially when he heard him say "You can change the report on the plane", he became even more furious.

She laughed in anger, and sneered, "Cheng Che, when will it be your turn to arrange my study life?"

This was a very heavy and excessive statement. Wen Song regretted it as soon as he said it and said, "Sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant that I have my own plans and I can't concentrate on the plane. Sorry, good luck for your game."

After hearing her words, Cheng Che was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Sister, I just hope that I can be more important in your heart, that's all. Of course, if you can't come, I won't force you."

"So what you think is important is that I must drop my current work and give up the opportunity to participate in ICTAG to come to you? Cheng Che, you are too selfish."

"I'm selfish?" Cheng Che felt that Wen Song was really good at turning the tables, and said angrily, "Because of your call, I took a leave and immediately took the nearest flight to Japan to see you, so in your opinion I'm selfish?"

"Sorry, Che, I may have expressed myself incorrectly. But I really hope that you can understand me." Wen Song lit a cigarette to calm down. "I'm very happy that you came to Japan to find me. But I never asked you to do this. If I knew you had to train at that time, I would never say that to you."

Hearing her answer, Cheng Che was speechless for a moment. Wen Song's words were logically rigorous and there was no fault in them. Instead, he seemed to be making trouble for no reason. However, he really hoped that she could come. Was he really that unimportant in her heart?

For some reason, Cheng Che said to Wen Song, "As Jiang Xu's girlfriend, she will accompany him wherever he goes to compete. She will always be there whenever he calls, even if she has something else to do. But you will never put aside your own affairs for me. I know that I am not that important to you."

Wen Song couldn't help rolling his eyes after hearing what he said. He thought it was ridiculous and said to him, "So you want your girlfriend to stick to you every day, put you first, have no life of her own and just be your pendant? Ok fine, Cheng Che, if you want a girlfriend like this, you can choose to break up with me and date someone else. I respect you."

Cheng Che could hear the anger in her words. If it was any other time, he would definitely admit his mistake and comfort her. But today, he was also very dissatisfied and asked, "Do you want to break up with me? Just because of such a small matter?"

"I don't want to break up with you." Wen Song tried to explain patiently, "I just think that if your requirement or expectation for your girlfriend is that she stays with you every day and puts you first in everything. I can't do that. Since I can't do that, I don't want to force you to date me."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che realized that he had spoken hastily and his words were somewhat hurtful, so he quickly explained, "Sister, that's not what I meant. I just hope that I can be more important in your heart. Forget it, go and get busy."

Arguing is nothing more than talking back and forth. When two people are angry, neither of them can think rationally. Wen Song doesn't like such arguments, and he no longer wants to be in a stalemate with Cheng Che, so he said to him: "Okay, you should go to bed soon. Have a good rest, and be careful during training and competitions."

After saying that, she immediately refunded her plane ticket, drove back home, and began to prepare for the afternoon meeting with the professor.
