Chapter 14
Since learning about the existence of the Dyson Sphere, Chen Xi has never opposed the machine race's proposals again. No matter how luxurious and grand the facilities are, or whether those expensive gadgets are actually necessary, Chen Xi only needs to consider whether he likes them or wants them. He knows that even if he is extravagant and wasteful, he will never spend the equivalent of a Dyson Sphere just by having things that only serve him.
Sigh, it seems like the level of boredom has increased to another notch.
The machine race's technicians were overjoyed to see Chen Xi's cooperation and were full of energy. Every time they came up with something that Chen Xi might be able to use, they felt a greater sense of accomplishment. Meanwhile, in the space base, which was light-years away, things started up as they sent back the blueprints.
The magnificent architecture of the Steel Nest, the specially customized starships, and the various cool flying cars and aircraft that filled an entire parking lot... all are taking shape one by one.
Chenxi's life on the starship has also reached a new level. In general, his room now has many more amenities to serve him, and the food he eats every day has gone from being delicious and visually appealing to being works of art.
Even a small dessert, with its rich layers of flavor and exquisite taste, is breathtaking. Not to mention the beautiful way it is presented on a plate, making it almost too beautiful to touch. In short, it surpasses the level of the world's top pastry chefs.
Chen Xi was leisurely staying in his room. At this moment, one entire wall of his rather large room had become transparent, allowing a clear view of the space outside. It was truly a room with an excellent star view.
He discovered this feature when Jin Yi introduced the Dyson Sphere last time, and then asked Jin Yi for permission to use it. Now, when he's in a good mood, he looks at the scenery of outer space.
As Chen Xi was gazing at the starry sky in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind him. He turned around, immediately smiled, and went straight to greet the person who entered, "Jin Yi, you're here."
However, Jin Yi's gaze was fixed on Chen Xi's bare feet on the floor. He quickly stepped forward, picked her up, and placed her on the edge of the bed.
Jin Yi sighed softly, picked up the fluffy slippers by the bed, slipped them on her fair and smooth little feet, and then gently placed her shoesed feet on the ground. At the same time, an instruction was already running through his mind: the starship designed specifically for Chen Xi must have a temperature control system added to the floor.
Chen Xi felt a little guilty looking at Jin Yi squatting at his feet, because this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, but he had simply forgotten.
Despite feeling guilty, Chen Xi wasn't afraid. She even reached out and lifted Jin Yi's chin, saying, "Don't keep such a long face. Come on, smile."
Jin Yi's handsome face was easily provoked. Because of their positions, the pose had a strong flirtatious meaning. Jin Yi's light golden eyes stared at Chen Xi, and finally, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Jin Yi's face was handsome and stylish, with no flaws. Usually, his temperament and light golden eyes made him appear particularly cold. In short, he was a cool and aloof guy. But at this moment, Chen Xi looked down at him and lifted his face, then showed him a smile that was mixed with indulgence and pampering. Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat.
However, before he could dwell on these feelings, Jin Yi had already stood up. The chin that Chen Xi had been holding on his fingertips had been removed, and his tall figure once again enveloped Chen Xi.
Chenxi couldn't help but scoot back a little, wondering to herself, "Why are they all so tall?"
However, considering that he was only eighteen years old and could still grow taller, Chen Xi quickly put the question out of her mind and then looked at Jin Yi and asked, "How much longer until we get to the base?"
"At the current rate, it will take approximately 45 more Earth days."
"oh."
Chenxi placed the slippers by the bed, wiggled her feet back and forth in them, and then looked at Jin Yi and said, "Jin Yi, can you help me compile some courses suitable for me to study?"
"Hmm?" Jin Yi looked at Chen Xi with her light golden eyes.
"It's just... it feels like just playing all day isn't good, I should study a little bit too." Now that Chenxi has gone through the initial crazy phase of playing games, he's calmed down a bit. He's not as addicted to those games as he was at the beginning. Moreover, his more than ten years of being a good student and his family education have left a deep impression on him. Even though he knows that he can play as much as he wants now, the fact that his daily life consists only of playing games still fills him with a faint sense of guilt. So, in order to get rid of this feeling of guilt, Chenxi decided to study a little bit every day.
Of course, Chenxi didn't plan to study very hard. He only planned to study for one hour every day and then play for the remaining dozen or so hours. Anyway, he had plenty of time. He was already immortal, so even if he only studied for one hour a day, as long as he lived long enough, he would eventually become very knowledgeable.
Furthermore, Chenxi has now come to understand that his life is already endless, so there is no need for excessive indulgence. After all, if he gets tired of all the fun things now, how will he pass the long time ahead? Although he came from the miserable Common Era and truly experienced hardship, he feels that he will not become weary of life like humans born in the interstellar era. But in any case, a balance between work and rest is always a good thing.
After understanding Chen Xi's meaning, Jin Yi couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes. In fact, Chen Xi's choice was the path that many humans would choose in the interstellar era. Simple entertainment, no matter how addictive it may be at first, will eventually become boring after a while. In comparison, choosing a direction to explore in depth and eventually achieve success brings a much deeper kind of joy.
Therefore, in the Neolithic era, many people who initially chose to indulge in pleasure would eventually develop one or two hobbies that they studied deeply.
Jin Yi originally thought that at Chen Xi's age, it would take a long time before he got tired of entertainment and embarked on this path, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi would start preparing so early.
Jin Yi was surprised for a moment, then a deep smile appeared in his eyes. He said, "Okay, I'll send it to you as soon as I've sorted it out."
Chen Xi stared at Jin Yi's smile for a long time before turning her gaze away. Seriously, why does she have to smile so beautifully? It's practically unfair.
...
...
More than forty Earth days passed in the blink of an eye. In the pleasant entertainment time of each day, Chenxi could hardly feel the passage of time. Only the one hour of study time interspersed in each day made him feel that time slowed down a little. However, an hour was too short. In general, he did not feel any pain before it passed by, and the impact was negligible.
At this moment, Chen Xi was lying on the bed with his 2-in-1 tablet. Suddenly, he seemed to see something interesting and couldn't help but laugh out loud. While laughing, he called out to Jin Yi, "Come and see this, it's so funny."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yi walked over and leaned over to look at Chen Xi's tablet.
However, Chenxi was not satisfied with the distance and pulled him closer, "Come closer, look, isn't it funny?"
Because of Chen Xi's pulling, Jin Yi had to lean against the bed, sitting next to Chen Xi. His gaze fell on Chen Xi's tablet, and he had already seen the beginning. The big data system, as the main brain, already knew what would happen next, but he still smiled in agreement, "Very interesting."
"Haha, right? Don't leave, come with me and see something interesting here."
As Chenxi spoke, she nuzzled against Jin Yi's chest, resting her head on his chest in a very comfortable and intimate position.
Jin Yi looked at the little boy who had snuggled into her arms. His usually indifferent golden eyes showed a special ripple, something indescribable but incredibly tender.
And so, the two lay intimately together watching funny videos for a long time. Sometimes, when they saw something too funny, Chenxi would not be able to resist reaching into Jinyi's short black hair and gently tugging at it. However, after realizing what was happening, Chenxi would pull her hand back shyly.
Jin Yi simply smiled faintly at all of Chen Xi's actions, indulging and spoiling her.
In fact, Chen Xi also noticed that it might be the fledgling effect, or it might be that Jin Yi was the person he had the most contact with in this strange world after waking up. As time went by, he became closer to Jin Yi and would even unconsciously act coquettishly towards her sometimes.
Although she sometimes found it unbelievable afterward, she still couldn't help but do it again next time. Over time, Chenxi gave up.
However, the thought that Jin Yi would probably stay by her side forever put Chen Xi at ease, and she let herself be close to and dependent on Jin Yi.
But speaking of which, he really feels that Jin Yi's face is getting more and more handsome lately. How can there be such a good-looking person in the world?
