4731 Never Too Late to Love (138)
“If you’ve forgotten, then I’ll take you on another evening flight and you can look till you’re satisfied.”

His doting tone made Bai Sheng feel thoroughly pampered. It left her no doubt how much the man doted on her.

However, she felt that she was going to be spoiled given his unconditional pampering.

“Since you’d take me on a plane ride when I wish to see the sunset, would that mean you’ll pluck the stars out from the skies too, if I want them?”

“Uhhh…” She was only joking, but he actually considered her words seriously. “Do you know how huge a star is?”

“Isn’t it just the size of a grain of rice?”

“Haha, a tiny piece of debris created by the collision between the stars can turn into a meteorite and smash a hole on Earth.” Gu Chengze gestured seriously. “Comparing the size of a star is like comparing a speck of dust to a mountain.”

“Really…” Bai Sheng opened her eyes wide in disbelief, “Is a star that huge?”

“Uh huh! It’s enormous.” Gu Chengze continued, “Also, do you know, just one star is probably as big as a galaxy.”

“Oooh…” Bai Sheng listened very seriously. Initially, she had thought that it was just a diamond in the night sky. However, after Gu Chengze’s explanation, she realized that humans were such insignificant creatures.

“The Earth and the sun are just tiny units in a galaxy. A galaxy. How big do you think it is?”

“It must be bigger than the sun and the stars put together.”

With Gu Chengze’s serious explanation, Bai Sheng finally realized how difficult her request of plucking the stars out of the skies was.

Although it was a joke, she was still taken aback by Gu Chengze’s explanation.

She suddenly became interested and forgot about the scenery beyond the window. Coincidentally, Gu Chengze had done some research on astronomy.

On the plane, the two of them started discussing the mysteries of the universe.

Gu Chengze was very interested in the universe and astronomy. When he was in university, if not for the fact that he had to prepare to take over the Gu family in the future, he would have studied Astronomy for sure.

Although he studied economics, he made friends with a group of students who were interested in astronomy.

In his second year of university, he had pestered Chu He to buy him a telescope. Till this day, he kept it with him in his apartment.

Usually, such an expensive item would be kept protected under a cover, so Bai Sheng had not paid much attention to it.

She did not fiddle with the things in his house much. She only knew that there was an object under a white cover, but she did not expect that it was a device used to observe the stars.

“So, that’s a telescope?”
“Uh huh!”

“Then I can look at the stars through it in the future?”

Gu Chengze nodded. “Any time you want.”

Astronomy is an especially mysterious topic. Most people’s first reaction to it would probably be: Isn’t it just a few stars?

A twinkling thing against the black expanse. No matter how one looks at it, that’s all it is.

However, once one enters the field of astronomy and slowly delves into it, they would find it a fascinating field!

In addition to broadening one’s horizons, if one gets lucky, one will observe cosmic constellations in ways that ordinary folks would never have the chance to see!

Gu Chengze had always treasured his telescope. It was not something that could be bought in the open market. Chu He had pulled all sorts of connections to secure this telescope, and Gu Chengze took great care of the device.
