"Thank you, Xixi."
His chin rested gently on the top of her head, and he let out a satisfied murmur.
Zi Xi didn't refute the mushy nickname anymore, but buried her burning cheeks in his broad chest, listening to his strong and rapid heartbeat.
It felt as if all the starlight in the sky had fallen into my heart.
The establishment of the relationship was like casting a spell of happiness on all the creatures in the backyard.
The interaction between the two became more natural and intimate.

Under the personal impetus of the Emperor, the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture and the Research Institute joined forces to begin the trial planting of the first batch of crops.
They strictly followed the optimal data obtained from Zixi's backyard research, and even used the soil conditioner provided by Zixi.
The initial crop growth was good, which delighted all the scientists involved in the project.
But problems arose just as the crop entered its rapid growth phase.
No matter how they adjusted the parameters, the activity of the transplanted crops began to decline at a visible rate.
Although the fruit that eventually grows is still much better than ordinary natural ingredients, it is still far inferior to the original version in Zi Xi's backyard in terms of taste, aroma, and the special energy it contains.
The project manager was on the verge of a breakdown.
When the news reached Mo Chen and Zi Xi, Zi Xi frowned.
She reviewed the data and images sent by the research institute and understood.
Lacking the unique and irreplaceable life-generating energy from the core spring water and soil, it is impossible to replicate the agricultural products from the backyard.
Moreover, Zi Xi vaguely sensed that it might also be related to a certain aura existing in the farm space itself.
But none of this can be told to outsiders.
Large-scale promotion has encountered insurmountable technical barriers.
Hope is so close yet seems so far away.
The research institute was at a standstill, and the previously optimistic atmosphere turned somber.
"It's alright. Even if it can't be promoted on a large scale, what you have in your backyard is already a miracle."
Seeing Zi Xi troubled by this matter, Mo Chen comforted her with heartache.
"No, since we've started, we have to do our best."
"Furthermore, I also want to know exactly where the problem lies."
But Zi Xi shook her head, her eyes resolute.
She locked herself in her room, claiming that she was in seclusion to study ancient books and materials.
In fact, she entered the space, hoping to find a solution.
She arrived at a room that she hadn't paid much attention to before, filled with old books and scrolls of various materials.
She used to think of it as a storage room, and had only briefly looked through some things like recipes and agricultural records.
This time, she calmed down and began to carefully peruse each book, trying to find clues from these ancient wisdoms.
Finally, when she turned to a booklet called "Spiritual Plant Source," her eyes were drawn to one of the chapters.
The book's ideas suggest that truly exceptional plant growth depends not only on external conditions such as water, soil, light, and heat, but also on the nourishment of an invisible life energy field.
This energy field can be guided and infused by the grower through highly concentrated mental focus.
Even powerful plant spirit masters can resonate with plants through their spiritual power, promoting their evolution.
The book also records some simple meditation methods and diagrams for guiding mental energy to perceive and nourish plants.
Zi Xi understood; this was the crux of the problem.
The reason her backyard crops are so exceptional is certainly not solely due to the spatial spring water and soil.
Furthermore, the farm space itself contains a powerful yet gentle life energy field.
Although she was unaware of it as the owner of the space, her spiritual energy was unconsciously nourishing the crops every time she worked in the space.
Having found her direction, Zi Xi was overjoyed.
She began to try to mobilize her spiritual power according to the methods in ancient books.
