His tone was calm, yet incredibly gentle.
He stood up and naturally took her hand.
His usually stern features softened, and even the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
As long as she was by his side, he felt as if he were bathed in a warm glow.
"Let me show you my private planet."
As he said this, his fingertips unconsciously caressed the back of her hand, clearly indicating that he was in a very good mood.
They got their marriage certificate last year. Xixi graduated, and he was finally able to show her everything he had carefully prepared.
"Helan Yuan, your smile is so eerie... You're not planning to lure me to a planet and then leave me bedridden, are you?!"
Zi Xi tilted her head to look him over, then suddenly narrowed her eyes and deliberately called him by his full name in a serious tone.
"I'm warning you! Even though we're legally married, I'm still young! You! You can't do anything reckless!"
When asked about not being able to get out of bed, she suddenly crossed her arms in front of her chest, took a half step back, and looked both wary and exaggerated, but a cunning glint flashed in her eyes.
"Who made me endure until graduation, saying they'd teach me a lesson after graduation? Now you're scared? Too late!"
"I want to see how my darling will make me look good!"
He Lan Yuan chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered.
The next second, he swept her up in his arms and strode toward the spaceship's docking point.
Zi Xi's exclamation mingled with He Lan Yuan's laughter, drifting away on the wind.

Six months later, Zi Xi, dressed in the uniform of the Interstellar Research Institute, was checking the nutrient soil ratio being adjusted by the robot.
Her personal terminal kept flashing with high-salary offers from Interstellar Agriculture Group, but she didn't even glance at them, instead carefully inspecting the nutrient soil prepared by each robot.
In the corner of the laboratory, there are several bags of precious Starry Night Nutrient Soil. This special soil, produced by her, is key to cultivating endangered plants.
"Sister Luo, the dean wants to see you in the A3 cultivation room."
Laboratory assistant Kobayashi rushed over.
Zi Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead, responded, and quickly walked towards the incubation room.
The A3 Cultivation Room is the most important place in the research institute, where twelve endangered interstellar plants are cultivated.
Of course, these were all anonymously sent by Zixi over the past few months.
When Zixi entered, the dean was facing away from the door, observing an apple tree that had just sprouted buds.
"Dean, you wanted to see me?"
The dean turned around with a complicated look in his eyes and pulled up a projection of the nutrient soil that had been anonymously added the first time, as well as Zixi's formula information during this period.
Zi Xi's heart was pounding.
"Thank you, thank you."
The dean took a step closer, his gaze kind and gentle. He said nothing else but thank you and bowed deeply to Zixi.
Since then, Zi Xi has enjoyed greater freedom and her bond with the research institute has deepened.
Even after her honorable retirement, the old director, with tears in his eyes, refused to let her leave.
But she still has her mission.
On the night the female lead committed suicide, Zi Xi received the plot in her dream.
The male protagonist, Helan Yuan, is the supreme ruler of the Interstellar Federation, but power is nothing more than a boring game that he has long been tired of.
During the long years of rule, even conquest became a numb cycle, leaving only a bone-deep emptiness and weariness in the depths of the soul.
Until an interesting toy appeared, and the female protagonist Ai Qingyan appeared.
She stumbled into his cold world like a sudden burst of flame.
So vibrant, yet so fragile.
He unusually allowed her to approach, not out of pity or desire, but out of an almost cruel interest.
How interesting!
It's like pouring boiling water into a crack in an ice field to see if it will evaporate into mist or condense into a sharper ice blade.
So he casually set up the cage and looked down on the experiment as an observer.
When this emotionally intense woman is driven to the brink, will she burn completely, or will she be twisted into something else entirely?
After all, even the gods sometimes want to see what kind of path an ant can take in its struggle.
