Naming an asteroid requires four steps.
The first step is to discover the asteroid and obtain a temporary number; the second step is to determine the orbit of the asteroid and obtain a permanent number; the third step is to apply to the IAU; the fourth step is to review and approve the naming.
The second step takes the longest. Because to determine the orbit of an asteroid, it needs to return at least four times, that is, it must orbit the sun at least four times.
Asteroids closer to the sun are better. Near-Earth asteroids take one year to orbit the sun. Asteroids in the orbit of Saturn take thirty years to orbit the sun, and asteroids in the Kuiper belt even take thousands of years.
Therefore, after many asteroids were discovered, the discoverers died before they had time to name them.
The asteroid Xiang Nan gave to Qiao Yingzi was in the orbit of Jupiter. Jupiter takes about twelve years to orbit the sun. Give it to her now so that forty-eight years later, when she is sixty-six, she can name it.
"This is an asteroid certificate?! Can I name it?" Qiao Yingzi said excitedly after hearing this.
As an astronomy enthusiast, she naturally knows that asteroids can be freely named by their discoverers. She also imagined using an astronomical telescope to discover an asteroid in the universe and name it after herself.
However, with her existing equipment, it is too difficult to discover asteroids. Most asteroids in the world are discovered by observatories. Their equipment is more advanced and their data is more complete.
Now, Xiang Nan actually gave her an asteroid, and it was discovered in her name. This gift is so meaningful to her.
"Of course, I won't lie to you." Xiang Nan smiled.
"Fang Hou'er, thank you~" Qiao Yingzi hugged Xiang Nan happily and kissed him on the cheek proactively.
Xiang Nan was stunned, and then kissed her.
Qiao Yingzi was a little panicked and subconsciously wanted to escape, but she was hugged by Xiang Nan and couldn't break free for a while. Then the lips came into contact, making her stunned and froze.
…
Just as frozen as Qiao Yingzi, there was also Wang Yidi behind.
Seeing that both Xiang Nan and Qiao Yingzi had to leave late, she suspected that there might be something going on between them.
So when Xiang Nan took Qiao Yingzi to the rooftop, she followed secretly to see what they were doing.
But she didn't expect to see such an exciting scene, which made her excited for a moment and felt the fire of gossip burning in her heart.
"Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi are so unexpected~" she couldn't help shouting in her heart, "If you tell me, it will definitely shock the whole school."
And seeing them kissing so passionately and passionately, she couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous. She has never been in love in her entire life, and she doesn't even know what kissing feels like.
Xiang Nan and Qiao Yingzi have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and have a deep relationship. It was a natural progression for them to fall in love. Moreover, the two of them are both top academics. In the future, they can go to college together, find jobs, get married and have children... living happily forever is really enviable.
The more Wang Yidi thought about it, the more jealous he became. He couldn't help but kick the railing with his foot, making a loud clang sound.
"Who?! What's the noise?" Qiao Yingzi was startled, pushed Xiang Nan away, and shouted with a red face.
Wang Yidi also regretted it and quickly turned around and ran downstairs.
"Oh, there's someone!" Qiao Yingzi was shocked when she heard the footsteps.
She and Xiang Nan had a tryst and kissed on the rooftop. Once the story spread and her classmates and teachers knew about it, she would be embarrassed to see anyone.
If her father and mother find out, she will have no chance of survival.
"Oops, what should we do?" She stamped her feet anxiously, "Fang Hou'er, it's all your fault, you're going to kill me."
Xiang Nan also felt itchy with hatred for the peeping Hun Dan.
If he hadn't been messing around, he could have confessed to Yingzi after the kiss and successfully entered into a relationship with Yingzi.
As a result, now that she was disturbed by him, the romantic atmosphere was suddenly wiped out, and Yingzi became frightened.
Confessing at this time will not only fail, but will add fuel to the fire.
Therefore, Xiang Nan secretly resented it while comforting him, "Okay, don't worry, so what if someone sees him? What can he say, what evidence does he have? Who will believe it if he talks in vain?"
"But what if he took a photo?" Qiao Yingzi said nervously.
"Don't panic. Think about it carefully. It's pitch black on the rooftop and there's no light at all. Even if he takes a photo without turning on the flash, it's still pitch black." Xiang Nan laughed again.
"Well, that's right." After hearing what he said, Qiao Yingzi's eyes lit up.
"So as long as we don't admit this, no one will do anything to us." Xiang Nan smiled, "Okay, let's go back. If we stay a little longer, Lei'er will get impatient."
"Yeah." Qiao Yingzi nodded.
…
The two of them got off the rooftop one after another, and then came to the school gate.
Along the way, the two of them remained silent without speaking.
"Cousin, Yingzi, are you okay?" As soon as Lin Lei'er saw the two of them, he immediately came up to them and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, how could something happen to the two of us?" Qiao Yingzi was startled and quickly denied it, "By the way, did you go to the rooftop just now?"
"No, I've been waiting for my cousin at the school gate." Lin Leier shook her head.
"Then did you see anyone come out just now?" Qiao Yingzi asked again with concern.
"I'm just a classmate from school." Lin Lei'er nodded and said, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, I'm going home first." Seeing that this matter was getting more and more troublesome, Qiao Yingzi quickly waved her hands and then crossed the road and went home.
"Lei'er, let's go home too." Xiang Nan smiled and then took a taxi home with Lin Lei'er.
…
Halfway through the car, Xiang Nan's WeChat message rang.
He picked it up and looked at it, but it was from Qiao Yingzi, "Fang Hou'er, I hate you so much. Just when I came home, my mother saw that I was blushing and thought I had a fever and cold, so she struggled for a while. "
"Those who hate love love. Only when you love deeply can you hate deeply. Hate me to death~" Xiang Nan replied.
Qiao Yingzi then sent an emoticon of PIA Fei, "Fang Hou'er, I find that you are becoming more and more rogue now."
"I only treat you like a gangster." Xiang Nan replied with a smile, and then sent another emoticon of "Girl, give me a smile".
"Go to hell!" Qiao Yingzi replied, adding a kick emoji.
"If you don't smile, I will give you a smile." Xiang Nan replied with another emoticon.
"Fang Hou'er, why did you kiss me?" Qiao Yingzi then asked.
"Because I like you." Xiang Nan was stunned and then replied.
"Then why do you like me?" Qiao Yingzi asked again.
"I just like it if I like it. There is no reason." Xiang Nan replied.
