Chapter 55 55【Comparing one''s heart with one''s heart】
After the collision test, everyone returned to the hotel to rest.
Xiang Nan slept on the floor for another night. When he woke up the next day, he inevitably had backache again.
He endured it himself and said nothing.
"The collision test is over, and the rest are lectures. You can participate or not." Xiang Nan smiled and said to Peggy, "I heard that it is the Alpine ski season. If you want to go, you can go on your own. Go."
?Skiing is a very popular sport. Speeding down the vast mountains and amidst the white snow, enjoy the thrill of speed and passion.
?This wonderful feeling makes people want to stop.
?According to a survey, there are as many as 110 million ski enthusiasts around the world, and the global ski equipment market will reach US$5.7 billion.
“No need, I would rather learn more knowledge.” Peggy waved her hand.
She came to Geneva not to ski, but to learn knowledge and broaden her horizons.
?This ALICE experiment attracted the world''s top scholars and professors in the field of physics. They held lectures and talks here to exchange their experiences with their peers.
What a great learning opportunity for her. It was like a little mouse fell into a rice vat, she couldn''t wait to seize the opportunity to eat as much as she could. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t know when the next time will be.
“Well, that’s a good choice.” Xiang Nan smiled.
“Raj, aren’t you going to ski too?” Peggy asked curiously.
Xiang Nan also waved his hand.
Learning to ski will provide you with many opportunities in the future.
He also wanted to take advantage of the gathering of so many top experts and scholars here to communicate with them more.
On the one hand, improve one’s professional level, and on the other hand, expand one’s personal network.
“I can ski at any time, and I am more willing to learn more knowledge.” He said with a smile.
?Seeing that he had the same thoughts as hers, Peggy couldn''t help but laugh.
…
In the next two days, they were busy attending various exchange meetings during the day, and often had to go back to the hotel to rest until late at night, which was very hard.
Xiang Nan still sleeps on the floor every day. Because the sleeping environment was so poor, he suffered from backache and never recovered.
At noon that day, he and Peggy had dinner in the restaurant of the experimental center.
After finishing the meal, Xiang Nan yawned and stretched.
?Suddenly, he heard a crunching sound, and his whole body froze immediately, bending there, unable to move.
“Raj, what’s wrong with you?” Peggy asked quickly when she saw this.
“Hurry, call an ambulance.” Xiang Nan said with trembling lips.
He felt a sharp pain coming from his back, as if his spine was broken, which frightened him so much.
?Peggy quickly called to request medical services. A moment later, the medical team from the base rushed over, then placed Xiang Nan on a stretcher and quickly carried him to the infirmary.
?Peggy was worried that something might happen to Xiang Nan, so she followed closely.
Arrived at the infirmary, after detailed examination by the doctor, he finally came to a conclusion.
Xiang Nan only had an acute lower back sprain, not a real broken spine.
After hearing the news, Xiang Nan couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The doctor then used infrared radiation, massage and other techniques to provide him with physical therapy. After the treatment, his pain was immediately relieved.
“Thank you doctor, I feel much better.” He said gratefully.
“Raj, are you really well?” Peggy asked with concern. The scene just now really frightened her.
"I should be fine." Xiang Nan moved tentatively, and sure enough, the pain in his waist and back was gone. "Doctor, how did he get this disease? What should we pay attention to in the future?" Peggy asked again with concern.
"It should be caused by long-term fatigue and poor rest." The doctor analyzed, "Be sure to have a good rest in the future and don''t work too hard."
Hearing the doctor say that Xiang Nan''s illness was caused by poor rest, Peggy suddenly felt guilty.
Sleeping on the floor every day will certainly lead to poor rest. The reason why Xiang Nan slept on the floor was entirely to take care of her.
Otherwise, she will be the one injured today.
"I know, doctor." Peggy nodded.
…
After coming out of the infirmary, Peggy wanted to take Xiang Nan back to the hotel.
"You still have two lectures to attend later, so don''t send me back. I can do it myself." Xiang Nan declined politely.
"How can that be done? Raj, your injury this time is entirely because of me. I should take care of you." Peggy shook her head.
Xiang Nan''s injury has just been cured, and she is not sure whether it will relapse. How can she let him go back by himself?
"No need, I''m fine. I''ll just lie down when I go back, no special care is needed." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "But those two lectures are very important. You must listen to them and take notes. When you come back, tell me."
“This…” Peggy was still hesitating.
"Okay, go ahead, knowledge is more important than me." Xiang Nan encouraged her.
Hearing what he said, Peggy had no choice but to nod.
After Xiang Nan returned to the hotel by car, he lay on the bed and had a good rest. He even ordered room service for dinner.
In the evening, Peggy came back from the symposium.
“Raj, how is your injury? It hasn’t happened again, right?” she asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay.” Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Then I''m relieved." Peggy nodded, "Then you can sleep on the bed tonight, and I can sleep on the floor."
"I rested for most of the day and my body is fine. I can sleep on the floor again." Xiang Nan contended.
“No, let me sleep on the floor. I’ve already hurt you,” Peggy insisted.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod.
…
After washing up, the two of them went to bed separately.
?The moment she lay on the floor, Peggy realized how deep the floor was.
?It is so hard and inflexible that it can kill people. It is really not easy for Xiang Nan to sleep for three nights in a row.
?Only now did she truly understand why Xiang Nan sprained her waist.
Who can sleep comfortably on such a hard floor and who can avoid getting sick?
Xiang Nan slept for three nights in a row. Even though she was injured, she still insisted on sleeping on the floor. This gentleness and considerateness really moved her.
Thinking about everything Xiang Nan had done for her, she felt warm in her heart and wet her eyes.
?The hard floor became less intrusive at this moment.
“Since Raj can sleep on such a hard floor for me, I can also sleep on such a hard floor for him.” She thought to herself, and she slept soundly.
?But the next day, she also had a sore back and could not help but start beating like Xiang Nan.
“No wonder he’s so nervous when he wakes up early, that’s how it is.” Peggy just understood.
