After Yan Qi finished speaking, he felt a little dry in the mouth. He stood up to pour some water, turned sideways and asked with a smile, "Ji Li, do you want some water?" Then he handed the poured water to Ji Li.

Ji Li lowered his eyes to look at the slender fingers holding the water cup, and then up to a delicate white wrist. He reached out to take the water cup, took a sip, and said, "Too thin."

Yan Qi turned around to pour water and asked without hearing clearly, "Ji Li, what did you say?"

"Don't you think you're too skinny? You don't have any muscle at all. You look unmanly because you're too skinny. You should eat more and exercise more in the future."

Yan Qi turned around and took a big gulp of water. It was a close call, as he almost died of thirst.

I muttered to myself,

She has quite a bit of muscle, right? She just doesn't gain weight.

And she doesn't need to be masculine. If she were, her life would be over.

Yan Qi finished drinking the water, sat back next to Ji Li and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, okay, I understand."

Ji Li looked at the little bastard who didn't take his words seriously at all. He reached out and pinched Yan Qi's cheek, pulling it, and said gently: "You are perfunctory to me, do you think I didn't see it?"

Yan Qi turned his head to avoid Ji Li's action, and heard a hint of danger in the other party's tone, and defended himself:

"Of course not. I've been working out really hard and eating a lot. I was exhausted from training yesterday, but I just can't gain weight. There's nothing I can do about it."

Seeing that the boy was a little depressed again, Ji Li felt that he had indeed worked hard enough. It might be a physical problem, but there was nothing he could do. He reached out and ruffled Yan Qi's hair and said, "I know. Just eat more next time."

Yan Qi was happy. The beauty was indeed so considerate! Then it was time for her to express her attitude, to reassure him and put him at ease.

She raised her head, met Ji Li's gaze, and said seriously:

"Ji Li, I heard your conversation with Wan Conglun that day. I understand your thoughts, and I have thought it through. I will no longer have any improper thoughts about you. Let's be good friends and good partners." Yan Qi's eyes were full of sincerity, and these were her true words.

She really regards the beauty as her good friend and partner. I hope they can stay together for a long time.

Yan Qi originally thought that Ji Li would be very happy to hear this, but she felt that his eyes had turned cold without her noticing.

Ji Li withdrew his hand and just looked at her expressionlessly. Yan Qi was sure that this was not a happy expression.

She didn't know why this happened suddenly?

Could it be that I didn't hit the point?

Afraid Ji Li would misunderstand, Yan Qi continued, practically swearing to the heavens: "Ji Li, I'm serious. I've truly figured it out. I'm not lying. I promise that from today on, I'll study hard and make progress every day. I won't have any crooked thoughts. From now on, my heart will only be on studying!"

Yan Qi laughed secretly in his heart, haha, with her love of learning, she will surely control the beauty completely.

"Really?" Ji Li's voice was light, just like his usual voice, with no emotion in it.

Yan Qi nodded vigorously, and to show his determination, he added, "From now on, we are best friends. My love for you is limited to this, and I will never cross the line."

Ji Li smiled after hearing this, but his body still didn't feel warm. The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.

Yan Qi did not move either. She sat quietly in her seat, accepting Ji Li's gaze. Finally, Ji Li stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled the boy to his side and said:

"Didn't you say you liked the starry sky? The space jump has arrived."

Yan Qi was stunned. Looking out the window, the Milky Way had already turned a light pink. It was unexpected that they had arrived so quickly.

Ji Li signaled Yan Qi with his eyes to follow him, and Yan Qi quickly followed. The two of them didn't say a word along the way, which made her feel relieved.

In fact, she had already felt a little embarrassed when she was stared at by the beauty.

After all, the atmosphere is bound to be a little awkward when talking about this topic.

Because of the beauty's personality, it was impossible for her to be so moved that she would give her a hug immediately after he finished speaking.

Maybe it still takes time to digest.

Yan Qi touched his nose awkwardly, thinking that he should be able to digest it better by the time he went shopping in the afternoon.

The spacecraft hovered in the middle of the Butterfly Nebula. Ji Li brought Yan Qi to the hall, where the windows were the largest and the view was the best, allowing one to clearly see the outline of the entire Butterfly Nebula.

Wan Conglun had arrived long ago and was sitting aside with a relaxed look on his face.

"Hey, come here. I was just about to call you."

Yan Qi smiled and greeted him and asked, "Are you done?"

"I just finished my work. It was a close call. I almost missed the trip."

Yan Qi was about to make a joke when Ji Li's voice came from her ear, "Don't you want to look at the stars? It won't be long."

Yan Qi then realized that the ship would only be docked here for 10 minutes, and hurried to the window. He looked at the familiar nebula outside the window, a little dazed.

I murmured in my heart: We meet again.

She had been to too many places in her previous life.

I've witnessed the ethereal, pure, and light-as-veiled streams of stars. I've witnessed the brilliant, twinkling Swallowtail Cluster, as dazzling as a shooting star. And I've even seen the Morning Star, a radiant gem in the Milky Way.

But no place was more memorable to her than this one.

This beautiful Butterfly Nebula,

It was formed by a massive star that was about to die. The dying star ejected its outer layers into the universe, and the butterfly's iridescent, transparent "wings" were formed by the collision of gas and dust into a beautiful butterfly.

In the vast universe, not all stars will turn into beautiful butterflies after death.

If it weren't for the constant war in Galaxy N, this unique nebula would not have remained unknown for so many years.

Yan Qi stared at the huge and gorgeous nebula outside with great concentration. Facing this scenery that had existed for thousands of years, she once again felt the insignificance of human beings in the face of the universe.

Ji Li didn't look out the window. He half leaned against the window with his long legs, staring at the boy's fair profile with a deep expression. Every word the other party had just said seemed to knock on his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
