Chapter 61 You think I'm too old?

Yu Nianqing watched her movements and realized that she might not have brought her terminal.

The two were separated by glass, unable to hear each other, and stared at each other blankly.

Suddenly, Yu Nianqing realized that she could write it down on paper and quickly turned around to find paper and pen.

Hengxing watched him leave, then silently submerged and gradually disappeared from sight in the room.

After finally finding paper and pen in a corner of the drawer, Yu Nianqing turned around and found that she was gone.

He walked back to the sofa in a daze, put his face close to the glass and looked out. It was dark below and he couldn't see anything. A minute later, he was startled when Heng Xing suddenly appeared from below and pressed his face against his. He took a few steps back, clutching his chest and panting.

After calming down, he frowned and patted the glass wall in dissatisfaction.

The transparent diving mask couldn't hide Hengxing's smiling, narrowed eyes. Under the light coming from the room, her bright golden eyes shimmered like waves on the sea.

Seeing his brows furrow slightly, she mysteriously pulled a pink starfish from behind her back and slammed it against the glass wall.

Over time, her ability to comfort people has improved considerably.

Yu Nianqing had never seen a starfish face to face before, and found it novel, so she didn't hold the Alpha's childish behavior against her.

Seeing that he liked it, Hengxing dived down again and brought back a body full of starfish.

This unique design, at first glance, is a perfect treat for those with trypophobia.

With great interest, she arranged the starfish on her body in the seven colors of the rainbow on the glass wall.

The starfish around the hotel were all artificially introduced; they are exceptionally brightly colored, a vibrant array of hues, and very beautiful.

On the other side of the glass wall, Yu Nianqing directed her to release starfish. When the five-pointed starfish formed a larger five-pointed star, he had Hengxing swim to the center and then stepped back to take a few photos of her as a memento.

As he turned off the camera app, he accidentally scrolled to a photo he had taken earlier, taken on their last day away from Hot Spring Star.

As the sun rose atop the snow-capped mountain, its golden, holy light shone upon the female Alpha crouching amidst the pristine white, making her appear like a star fallen to earth. She was surrounded by a circle of mechanical animals; an alpaca, gazing curiously at her hair, mistook her for one of its own kind.

This could have been a much better memory, but it's all Captain Heng's fault for not knowing how to restrain himself.

He looked up at Hengxing and saw that in such a short time, she had dived down again and brought back a bunch of messy seaweed, which she then enthusiastically straightened and arranged around the five-pointed star.

Actually, there will be no regrets now.

He smiled and sat down on the sofa next to the glass wall.

Upon his return, Hengxing magically produced a small, transparent box, about the size of a palm, from his pocket, resembling some kind of simple fish tank.

"Can I take some souvenirs home?"

She was very satisfied with the tacit understanding between the two and nodded immediately.

"I want that pink starfish."

The starfish's head is about the same size as a stellar fish's head; it can't fit into this small fish tank.

Yu Nianqing felt it was a pity and wanted to tell her: Why don't we just forget about it and choose something else?

But before he could finish writing, no one was left in front of the glass wall.

Hengxing didn't return so quickly this time, and Yu Nianqing grew worried, pressing her face against the glass wall once again to try and look down.

She didn't return until twenty minutes later, carrying a tiny pink starfish, probably still a baby.

Not only did they bring back a small starfish, but they also added a small pink striped fish to the fish tank.

“That’s enough. Come back, it’s almost time for dinner,” he wrote with a smile.

Hengxing waved to him and swam toward the hotel entrance.

"Is this good?" Hengxing asked, after drying her hair, as she leaned over the table watching him eat salmon.

Yu Nianqing picked up a piece of salmon, dipped it in the sauce, and tried to feed it to her. "Captain Heng, try it. You might like it."

Upon seeing this, she immediately turned her head to the side, saying, "I don't like eating this."

Seeing her so stubborn, Yu Nianqing had no choice but to eat it herself.

Hengxing teased the little fish in the fish tank with her finger, and the little fish swam around following her finger.

"We're going back to Yulaxing tomorrow to inspect the house, and while we're at it, we'll buy these two a bigger fish tank."

The renovation company was very efficient; they completed the basic plumbing, electrical work, and masonry work for the villa in just over half a month. Once they go back and inspect it, we can start purchasing furniture.

Yu Nianqing: "Okay, then we'll go to Yula Hospital to check the toxins in your body."

Hengxing felt it was unnecessary, "I think I'm completely better now."

"How can you treat health issues like this?"

Yu Nianqing felt that her behavior was wrong, so she ignored her excuses and directly messaged Chi Qingyi to let her know first.

Hengxing: "When was your last physical exam? Come with me for your next one."

Yu Nianqing thought it made sense, so she agreed to her request to have a physical examination together.

"You're back from your honeymoon?"

It was another afternoon, just as the neighbors were walking their dogs and parrots. She stood at the door chatting with Yu Nianqing, while Taro Bobo on her shoulder ignored its owner and flew into the villa to visit.

"It's just too curious," the neighbor said apologetically.

Yu Nianqing: "It's okay, she's very cute."

Yu Nianqing stood there shyly: "We haven't decided yet."

Taro Bobo flew into the living room, glided around, and finally landed on Hengxing's shoulder, reaching out its claws to tug at her hair.

Hengxing was discussing the next steps with the designer when, unable to bear it any longer, she turned her head and warned it, "Let go."

The designer chuckled silently, realizing that he, the client, was quite childlike.

Unexpectedly, the parrot on her shoulder suddenly spoke, not the usual erratic squawking, but a somewhat indistinct sentence.

"It's fun." Taro Bobo tilted its head to look at her, its paws continuing to hook and paw.

If it weren't just a parrot, Hengxing would have thought it was braiding its own hair.

Heng Xing was speechless and whispered, "Why don't you go and play with him?"

It seemed to understand, turned its head to look at the designer's bald head, then turned back to continue stretching out its paws.

After they finished talking, Hengxing walked out of the villa with the capricious parrot on his shoulder.

Watching it return to its owner's shoulder, Hengxing finally understood what it meant to feel a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

Yu Nianqing said goodbye to her neighbor. The two stood in front of the door watching a person, a dog, and a parrot leave. Then they boarded the aircraft and returned to the spaceship parked at the port.

Heng Xing noticed that Yu Nianqing's expression was not good; her brows and eyes seemed to be shrouded in several dark clouds.

Heng Xing: "Mr. Yu, what's wrong?"

What did she say to you?

Yu Nianqing looked out the window at the houses and people rushing past below, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing."

Until he went to bed that night, he sat on the bed and scrolled through his terminal, while Hengxing stood beside him changing into his pajamas.

He suddenly spoke up: "Captain Heng, there's something we need to consider."

Hengxing: ?

He put down the terminal and looked at her seriously. "Do you know that after the age of thirty, the quality and vitality of an Alpha's reproductive cells will plummet?"

Heng Xing, who is already 30 years old: ...

Yu Nianqing: "Captain Heng, do you understand what I mean?"

Heng Xing: "I understand."

"You think I'm too old."

Yu Nianqing: "...That's not what I meant."
