Sui Yi and Nie Shangheng strolled hand in hand through the campus, remaining silent for a long time. They walked quietly, their steps perfectly synchronized, without any sense of incongruity.
"Where...are you taking me?" Nie Shangheng didn't mind the girl getting close; on the contrary, he liked it very much.
"Hmm! I'll take you around for a stroll. Anyway, I don't have anything to do today. Do you?" Sui Yi turned to look at the man on her left and asked in a gentle voice.
"I have nothing to do today!"
"That's great, let's treat it as a date!"
"Oh!" The man looked at her several times, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, because he had many questions in his mind but did not know where to start.
"Do you know Earth? It's also known as Blue Star," Sui Yi said slowly.
"I know. Legend has it that a thousand years ago, that place was incredibly beautiful, with lush mountains and clear waters, and distinct four seasons. Many civilizations originated there, but it was overdeveloped and has now become a barren planet riddled with holes. I read about it in a book, so I went there. From afar, Earth looked like a beautiful, light blue planet. But once I got there, all I saw was a vast, boundless ocean, with only occasional isolated islands. It's no longer suitable for human habitation!" He sighed and began to recount the changes Earth had undergone.
"Yes! The original Earth was truly beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and various unique cultural landscapes. The North and South Poles had icebergs and snowfields all year round. But because people destroyed nature, the glaciers melted, and the Earth became a water planet. There was no place for people to stand, and in the end, they had to leave their homeland and migrate to other planets. But every planet has its own lifespan, and the resources within it are different. The conditions for survival vary, so there are disputes over territory, and wars. Between different races, and even among people of the same race, wherever there are people, there is conflict."
"Many times I've thought about why people have such great needs. Wouldn't it be better to live a simple and peaceful life? But you have to know that there's no excuse for the sin of greed."
"Yes! The people living on this planet are all worried about energy depletion, so they are trying their best to find a place to settle down and are constantly exploring. But this interstellar space is vast and boundless, and humans can only explore one ten-thousandth of it. Moreover, every planet has its own life forms, how can they tolerate outsiders invading? In this universe, people will do anything to compete for resources." Sui Yi said slowly. Her mission this time was really quite big, it could be said to be saving the humans on the planet and eliminating the insectoids. Although those who are not of our kind should be punished from afar! But what about the fact that our side is also in the right? We can only act from our respective perspectives.
"I don't think you're the type to worry unnecessarily, so why do you have this realization today?" Nie Shangheng was puzzled. He had always been a discerning judge and had never made a mistake, so why was he unable to understand her?
"I was just reminiscing; being sentimental is definitely not my thing. Come on! I'll take you to eat something delicious. You don't know, the nutrient solutions on that planet are practically inedible." Sui Yi let go of her heavy mood and began to complain about the bad things about the interstellar era.
Nie Shangheng listened to her gently and patiently, without saying a word, a smile always on his face.
"Come on, this is my home. How does it feel?" Sui Yi led Nie Shangheng to her house. After opening the door, Nie Shangheng looked around and saw a large courtyard filled with potted plants, flowers, trees, strange rock formations, and a pond. It was like entering a fairyland, very beautiful. Unlike the desert landscape of the planet, here the trees were lush and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Moreover, upon closer inspection, these trees had only existed in ancient books; no one had ever actually seen them.
"It's beautiful. How did you do this?" After his initial surprise, Nie Shangheng asked.
"Some of these plants are things I brought back from Earth, and some I brought from other places. Plants that grow on other planets are living things. Look, that one that glows blue is so beautiful because it has life. Trees on Earth are also beautiful, but they are very difficult to grow. It took me a lot of effort to get them to survive."
"We can enjoy the scenery later. Now I'll go make you something to eat!" Sui Yi let go of Nie Shangheng's hand, letting him enjoy the beautiful scenery while she went to the kitchen to make something to eat. Since she had decided that he was the one she loved, she naturally had to pamper him before he lost his memories. Otherwise, once he regained his memories, it wouldn't be her pampering him, but him pampering her, leaving her no room to maneuver.
When Sui Yi arrived at the kitchen, it was empty. Because of the academy's assessment today, Sui Yi had given them the day off to go watch the fun, making it easier for her to move around. Sui Yi took out ingredients from her spatial storage, started washing the vegetables, and then chopped them. She was so focused on her tasks that she didn't notice anyone standing at the kitchen doorway.
After Sui Yi left, Nie Shangheng stood alone in the courtyard, feeling unhappy and empty inside. He followed Sui Yi's scent all the way here and found her. The moment he saw her, he felt that he wasn't a walking corpse, but truly alive.
Because she wanted to make this meal a bit more substantial, Suiyi spent a full hour preparing about ten dishes. When she opened the pot, the fragrant aroma of rice filled the air, making everyone's mouths water and eager to devour it.
Sui Yi turned around and saw the man looking at her intently, and smiled sweetly.
When did you arrive?
“From the very beginning!” Nie Shangheng was a little embarrassed and awkward.
"Then help me bring the dishes, let's eat in the front hall!" Sui Yi knew he had seen her take the ingredients out of her spatial storage, but she said nothing, because she believed that even if he had no memory, he would definitely not want her to suffer any harm. That's how inexplicably confident he was.
After the two of them brought out all the food, Suiyi pulled him to sit down and began serving him rice, explaining some of the dishes.
"Wow! It smells so good!" Ah Xing ran over following the aroma, his mouth watering.
"What are you cooking today?" I asked Suiyi, tilting my head back.
"Ha! Had enough fun? Haven't seen you for days, how can you be so rude? You don't even greet your master!"
"Come on, you!" Ah Xing rolled her eyes, turned her head and saw the man sitting to the side, and got angry.
"You ungrateful, heartless man! You've been cheating on me with another woman! You're a complete scumbag who's two-timing me!" Ah Xing shouted, startling Sui Yi.
"...Come on, give me a break!" Suiyi stuffed a piece of meat into Axing's mouth. Axing immediately fell silent. After finishing the meat in his mouth, he pulled out a white handkerchief from somewhere, placed it on the table, activated a button, and a stool appeared. He climbed on it and sat down.
