Joy tilted her head. "Do you think I should burn some paper money for my older sister, just like you did, J?"
Jiang Nian said expressionlessly, "That's your business. You don't need to ask my opinion."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by the sleeve.
"J, do you hate me?"
Under the moonlight, Joey blinked at the person in front of her, her voice soft and tender.
"But I like you very much."
“I’ve been interested in you ever since I first learned about you when I participated in an International Olympic Committee competition six years ago.”
"Now I realize that you are more interesting than I thought."
“Those people say that your grades were better than mine the following year, but I don’t believe it. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been better than me.”
Her voice carried a hint of anticipation, "Now that I'm in China, why don't I prove myself to J? Let's see who's better."
After Joey finished speaking, Jiang Nian finally looked her up and down, and after a long while, she silently uttered a sentence.
Are you really sixteen?
Joey's expression froze.
Does this mean she's naive?
Jiang Nian's expression remained unchanged. Suddenly, she raised her head and pointed to the night sky. "Can you see the stars in the sky?"
Joey didn't understand what Jiang Nian meant: "I saw it, so what?"
Jiang Nian asked, "Do you know how many stars there are in the sky?"
“Of course,” Joey said without hesitation. “Stars visible to the naked eye can be divided into seven levels according to their brightness, which are called magnitudes in astronomy. Very bright stars are magnitude 0 stars, and stars that are just visible to the naked eye are magnitude 6 stars.”
"Astronomers have long calculated that there are 6 stars of magnitude 0, 14 stars of magnitude 1, 46 stars of magnitude 2, 134 stars of magnitude 3, 458 stars of magnitude 4, 1476 stars of magnitude 5, and 4840 stars of magnitude 6."
"Therefore, a total of 6,974 stars can be seen with the naked eye."
After speaking, Joey slightly raised her chin to look at Jiang Nian, her tone revealing a hint of pride.
"J, are you asking me this to test my knowledge of astronomy?"
Jiang Nian glanced at her: "No."
"I just wanted to tell you that if you're too idle and have nothing to do, you can find something to do. Counting stars is a good option, and it can even help improve your eyesight."
