Chapter 201 - 201: Stargazing
Brilliant starlight filled the vast night sky, dazzling people.
For the kids who grew up in the city with high-rise buildings, traffic and dazzling neon lights everywhere at night, stars were rarely visible in the night sky.
Due to the limited equipment of the production team, they could not give the audience the best starry sky experience in the live-stream, causing the difference in reaction between the guests and the audience in front of the screen to be a little huge.
Meng Chuyuan’s casual exclamation attracted everyone’s attention and they all raised their heads.
While everyone was complimenting the view, Liao Jiake suddenly exclaimed and asked curiously, “Why don’t I see Sirius?”
“Let me take a look.” Zhang Yunshu looked up seriously, wanting to help Liao Jiake find Sirius.
Seeing that they were so determined to see Sirius, Meng Chuyuan could not help but remind them, “It’s not winter yet. Sirius will not appear in the first half of the night. It can only be seen before dawn.”
“Ah?” Hearing this, Liao Jiake’s lips curled into an awkward smile. “Oh right, it’s not winter yet.”
[Hahahaha, it’s so awkward. I almost searched along with them just now.]
[Sister Meng is right. Sirius happens to be just south of the sun. The two of them rise and fall together. It’s basically impossible to see Sirius at night, but it’s easy to see it in winter.]
[Can I just say that I’ve never even recognized a Big Dipper in my life? When I was young, my teacher said that the Big Dipper looked like a spoon, but every time I look at the stars, I feel that every seven stars can be connected?]
[+1, I can’t even tell north from south, let alone find the Big Dipper, okay?]
[Help! I don’t even dare to look at the stars without some knowledge on astrology. Boohoo.]
After Liao Jiake’s embarrassing scene just now, the group of people who had never seen the stars did not dare to speak.
They only felt that the starry sky was beautiful and it was enough for them to just watch it quietly.
Zheng Yaqi took two skewers and sat on the small wooden stool beside Meng Chuyuan. She even specially handed Meng Chuyuan skewers of beef. “Do you want some?”
“Thank you.” Meng Chuyuan did not refuse. She took it from Zheng Yaqi and ate it.
Although they were on the same variety show, there was really not much time for them to sit together and chat.
Zheng Yaqi had specially found such an opportunity to look for Meng Chuyuan. Her actions were very natural and there were no flaws at all.
“What brand of foundation do you use? It doesn’t look patchy at all.” Zheng Yaqi was still trying to get close to Meng Chuyuan. What she didn’t know was that Lu Jinsen, that cheap cousin, had already betrayed her identity.
Meng Chuyuan replied with a faint smile, “I don’t have makeup on.”
She felt that it was very troublesome to have to come film the variety show while carrying a pile of cosmetics out. Moreover, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it easily made her feel lazy.
“You look like this without makeup?” Zheng Yaqi found it hard to believe. She moved her chair and leaned over to look at her face carefully.
From the angle of the live-stream, she was close enough to kiss Meng Chuyuan.
[F*ck, f*ck!! Can this be broadcasted?]
[I’m seriously suspecting that Qi Qi came up with this excuse to get a closer look at Sister Meng’s beautiful face. It’s too obvious, hahaha.]
[No! My Sister Meng won’t be clean anymore.]
[I want my soul to pass through Qi Qi. May I ask what I should do to succeed?]
Meng Chuyuan did not feel embarrassed by her sudden approach. Instead, she straightened her face and let Zheng Yaqi see as much as she wanted.
After a few seconds of careful observation, Zheng Yaqi asked bluntly, “Have you had surgery?”
Meng Chuyuan said humorously, “I had one when my mother gave birth to me.”
Zheng Yaqi said, “Same here but why is there such a big difference between us?”
[This is too much!! My mother also had surgery when she gave birth to me. Boohoo, my looks are not even half as good as Sister Meng’s.]
[Hahahaha, if that’s the case, I’ve also undergone surgery before. It didn’t have any effect. Is it a doctor’s technical problem?]
[I heard that when parents are in love, their children are also beautiful. Did they not love me when they gave birth to me? Boohoo.]
Meng Chuyuan did not expect her to be so good at continuing the conversation, and she managed to reply every sentence.
She was clearly an adult, but she gave off the feeling of a young girl.
Looking at Zheng Yaqi’s eyebrows, she smiled and said softly, “You look a little like my sister-in-law. You’re quite cute.”
Not only in terms of personality, but also in terms of appearance, they were more or less similar.
Zheng Yaqi was stunned for a moment and did not know how to answer.
“…” Did she accidentally expose something?
However, Zheng Yaqi quickly changed the topic. “Do you think we can see the constellation at this time?”
Meng Chuyuan raised her head and looked at the starry sky. Her gaze locked onto a position around 40 degrees north latitude. She quickly found the autumn quadrilateral.
“Of course.” Meng Chuyuan said.
Zheng Yaqi had no sense of direction. She looked at the starry night sky and asked in confusion, “Where is it?”
Meng Chuyuan pointed at the night sky and connected it to the position of the stars. She drew a W and said to Zheng Yaqi, “This is Cassiopeia. Over along the north is Cepheus.”
Under Meng Chuyuan’s precise positioning, Zheng Yaqi really understood a little. After finding a clear target, she felt that the surrounding stars could not affect her at all.
Zheng Yaqi took the initiative to ask curiously, “Is Perseus nearby?”
“Right.”
Hearing the two of them studying the constellation, the other guests looked like they did not understand. However, when they heard Meng Chuyuan’s narration, Zhang Yunshu shouted excitedly, “Then I know where the North Star is.”
Lu Jinsen frowned in confusion. “Why do I feel like they all look the same?”
Was he too stupid?
Zhang Yunshu: “It’s all thanks to Sister Meng. After she explained the position of the constellation, I can roughly determine the North Star.”
Zheng Yaqi admired her for being able to find the constellations and pinpoint their exact locations in such a big starry sky with so many stars above her head.
She tilted her head and looked at Meng Chuyuan with admiration in her eyes. “Did you do research about constellations?”
Meng Chuyuan said humbly, “I studied a little when I was in school.”
When she was in school, she had drawn many pictures of starry skies. Moreover, she was a person who was stingy with details. In order to make the work more realistic, Meng Chuyuan had specially studied constellations for a period of time. She did not expect it to be useful on variety shows.
Zheng Yaqi silently raised her hand and clapped twice. “Impressive.”
[Why do I feel that it doesn’t seem like she only studied it a little? Has Sister Meng figured out the entire solar system?]
[I want to ask her, is she really not from outer space? Why is she so smart?]
[I don’t think it’s too much to describe Sister Meng as someone who knows everything in the world, right?]
[Who would study these things in school? Was Sister Meng too idle?]
