Chapter 23 23 [Sudden increase in status]

In the afternoon, Xiang Nan was writing the paper "The Orbit and Resonance of Neptune's Satellites".

The paper, published in [-] by a team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, details the trajectory and orbital resonances of Neptune's moons.

This paper deepens people's understanding of Neptune, and it can be said to be a very valuable article in the subject of studying Neptune.

Just then, the door was knocked.

"The door is unlocked, please come in." Xiang Nan replied loudly without raising his head.

"Hi, Raj." Leonard stuck his head in. "Are you busy?"

"It's okay, just do a little research." Xiang Nan smiled and closed the notebook, "What's the matter with you?"

"I have nothing to do, I just came to see you." Leonard also smiled, and then asked tentatively, "Are you still angry with Sheldon?"

"Of course I'm not angry anymore, what's the point of being angry?" Xiang Nan waved his hand.

When friends meet each other, they will get together if they get together, or they will disperse if they don't.His real age is already 32 years old, he has experienced many separations and reunions, and he has long since turned his back on such things.

What's more, Sheldon doesn't have so many advantages, which makes him miss him all the time.Therefore, if it is broken, it will be broken, there is nothing to be hypocritical.

"If that's the case, then come to my house for dinner. After dinner, we are just playing Dungeons and Dragons." Leonard said happily when he saw him say that.

"I'm sorry, Leonard, you misunderstood." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I said I'm not angry because I don't mind breaking up with Sheldon, not because I want to get back with him."

"Please, don't be like this, we are all friends." Leonard frowned when he heard what he said.

"He compared us to tools! This is not something a friend would say." Xiang Nan shook his head.

"You know, that's not what he meant." Leonard defended Sheldon.

"On the contrary. Sheldon won't lie, he speaks his heart." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "In his eyes, we are tools. If he doesn't change this point of view, put us in the On an equal footing, it is impossible for me to be friends with him again."

"Don't be like this." Leonard asked.

He didn't have many friends since he was a child, and he really cherished this friendship.

"Leonard, don't worry, although Sheldon and I can no longer be friends, I will still be your friend. This will not change." Xiang Nan comforted him.

"Thank you." Leonard felt better hearing him say that.

……

For the next two days, Xiang Nan and Howard sat separately from Leonard and Sheldon, and the group of four was considered separate.

When Xiang Nan and Sheldon meet again, they only treat each other as air, don't say hello or nod, just pass by.

……

Two days later, Xiang Nan's paper "The Edgeworth-Keber Belt Debris Disk" was successfully published in the journal "Astrophysics", which caused a sensation in the industry.

The new algorithm disclosed in the paper provides a very good tool for people to study the Kyber belt, and it can be said that it has laid the cornerstone of the research of the Kyber belt in one fell swoop.As a result, Xiang Nan's position in the industry has increased sharply.

Although he also had some scientific research results before, but after all, he did not have much influence, so he was still a little transparent in the industry.

Now, when he has come up with such groundbreaking research results, people can't help but respect him at the same time.

Now, when he went to eat in the cafeteria again, many colleagues looked at him and saluted him.

"Wow, did you notice that Mandy Zhou was peeking at you just now." Howard said excitedly to Xiang Nan.

"Yes, not bad." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

Mandy Chow is a pretty Chinese beauty and an excellent marine biologist.

"Hey, buddy, you already have Penny." Seeing his reaction, Howard immediately reminded nervously, "Mandy is mine, and I'd like to get lost in her Bermuda 'delta'."

"Howie!" Xiang Nan couldn't help scolding him when he saw that he was so wretched again.

"I'm sorry~" Howard smiled.

At this moment, Leonard and Sheldon also came to the cafeteria with their meals.

"Well, this is a good opportunity." Leonard's eyes lit up and looked at Sheldon. "Let's go over and say congratulations to him, and then everyone can clear up the misunderstanding and continue to sit together."

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Sheldon simply refused.

"Okay, then I'll go by myself." Leonard saw him say so, so he had to change the channel.

"You're not allowed to go either. Rajesh and I have broken off. We are now opposing identities. As my friend, how can you associate with him and stand on the same side as him?" Sheldon said eloquently.

"Raj is also my friend." Leonard nodded and said, "Anyway, I'm going, whether you like it or not."

"OK, you got a warning too," Sheldon threatened.

"You want to take the bus to school tomorrow, don't you?" Leonard turned around and glanced at him.

Sheldon gritted his teeth, but in the end he didn't insist.

……

"Hi, Raj, congratulations!" Leonard then walked up to Xiang Nan and said.

"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Sit together."

"Well..." Leonard glanced at Sheldon not far away with a hesitant expression.

"OK, it doesn't matter." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, on Halloween, Penny wants to have a party, you are welcome."

"Halloween party?! Do you need to dress up?" Leonard's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked with a smile.

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded.

"What kind of cross-dressing theme is that, movies, anime, comics, dramas, myths..." Leonard asked in detail.

"As you like, there are no restrictions." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Okay, I will definitely participate." Leonard said excitedly.

"Raj, will there be girls at the party?" Howard asked with concern.

"Of course, Penny's friends will come." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Wow!" Leonard and Howard were even more excited after hearing him say that.They returned empty-handed from the last party, and this time they must not repeat the same mistakes.

"OK, you two, listen to me, if you want to catch up with girls, don't dress up in all kinds of weird ways." Xiang Nan immediately reminded him when he saw this.

In the play, at Penny's Halloween party, Leonard dressed up as Frodo from "The Lord of the Rings", and Howard dressed as Robin Hood, the green forest hero, but the shape was quite similar to the fairy tale character Peter Pan.

These two disguises were rather dull and failed, which caused them to be neglected that night.

"What do you mean?" Leonard and Howard asked in confusion.

"I mean, it's better to play characters that everyone knows and knows, this will make you more popular." Xiang Nan pointed, "For example, Leonard, you can play Harry Potter, Howe. You can pretend to be Captain Jack."

"Yeah." The two thought for a moment, then nodded.

Given that Xiang Nan's achievements in picking up girls are indeed much higher than the two of them, they decided to adopt Xiang Nan's advice.
