"I won't go. Waxing is a great place for farming. I'm happy here and don't want to go out into the world for the time being."

Ji Xiaosong refused without hesitation. Humans in interstellar space have very long lifespans, and her current body is only 20 years old. According to interstellar calculations, she has just come of age.

Since you are still young and have plenty of time to learn, there's no need to rush.

Dai Lixing realized that his own problems were still unresolved, and if he suddenly brought a woman back, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

He himself almost died, so if he went back, he might not be able to protect Ji Xiaosong at all times.

"Okay, I'll register the relevant account for you in three days. You can add my StarNet account and we can continue to keep in touch in the future."

Dai Lixing didn't try to persuade her anymore. Given his current situation, it was already a rare treat to be able to steal three days of leisure.

After having breakfast, Ji Xiaosong told Dai Lixing to clean up the kitchen himself.

When he finished doing all this and came to the yard, Ji Xiaosong was watering her vegetables and fruits.

The spot that Dai Lixing devoured last night is blooming again today.

Why are the plants here growing so fast?

Dai Lixing was a little confused. He knew exactly how much he had eaten last night, but when he came over, he found that the strawberries in the eight rows of fields had grown back.

The cucumbers and cherry tomatoes have also started to bloom. If this continues, he might be able to eat another batch tonight.

"Waxing has plenty of energy, so the plants naturally grow well. I can't eat that much food by myself, so your arrival will help me finish some of it."

Ji Xiaosong quickly watered the vegetable garden and then went into the strawberry patch.

I picked a strawberry, wiped it casually on my apron, and started eating it.

So sweet!

It also has a creamy aroma.

As Dai Lixing gazed at Ji Xiaosong's hair, which was edged with gold by the sunlight, he suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.

Her fingertips still had strawberry juice on them, leaving a few faint red marks when she wiped them on her apron, like a rouge box that had been accidentally overturned.

"Want to try it?"

Ji Xiaosong handed over a strawberry, the scent of cream mixed with the faint grassy smell emanating from her.

As if possessed, Dai Lixing lowered his head and bit into the fruit. The moment the sweet and sour flesh exploded on his tongue, he saw that her little tiger teeth, which she revealed when she smiled, were also covered with fine sugar frosting.

In the distance, the hum of an automatic irrigation system starting up could be heard, and water droplets refracted into tiny rainbows on the plastic greenhouse.

The girl, who always wears a faded denim apron, is now tiptoeing to reach the tomato vines high up, the cotton fabric outlining her slender waist.

"How about trying strawberry cream pancakes this afternoon?"

As Ji Xiaosong turned around, the strawberry hair clip in her hair gleamed mischievously in the sunlight.

"The cream fermented by my newly developed strain has a very smooth and creamy texture."

"What is that? I've never heard of it."

Dai Lixing had never heard of them before, and he couldn't even name the things in the garden.

He wouldn't have known if Ji Xiaosong hadn't introduced him.

These things only exist in patterns unearthed during archaeological excavations.

"It's a dessert, and it tastes pretty good. You'll see when you try it."

Dai Lixing heard his heart pounding like thunder, as if it were about to shatter the life support system inside his protective suit.

He looked at the blade of grass stuck to the tip of her nose and suddenly realized that it wasn't just plants that were growing wildly.

"By the way, you didn't change your clothes today. Is it because you didn't have any spare clothes, or is there some other reason? You can use my bathroom; there's no other one here."

When Ji Xiaosong saw that he hadn't changed his clothes today, she immediately realized that he hadn't taken a shower himself after she used the cleaning spell on him yesterday.

She won't want a man who isn't clean.

Otherwise, sharing a blanket would be awful!

"This protective suit has a self-cleaning function, so it does not need to be changed daily."

what?

So high-end?

Ji Xiaosong immediately thought of many places where it could be used for various jobs.

Seeing Ji Xiaosong's confusion, Dai Lixing explained the function of the protective suit to her.

Dai Lixing pointed to the faint silver patterns visible at the collar of the protective suit: "These fibers can automatically break down stains, just like breathing skin. For example, the strawberry juice you rubbed on my sleeve will disappear completely in less than three seconds."

He raised his arm, and the dark red mark immediately faded.

Ji Xiaosong leaned closer to observe, her hair brushing against his shoulder.

Dai Lixing took a half step back without making a sound: "The temperature regulation system can adapt to extreme environments from -238°C to 2000°C. Even if I take you to the crater now, it will still feel like 22°C."

He suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Of course, the most important function of this suit is to protect against all types of radiation. We often travel in space, where there is too much radiation that can harm the body. With such a protective suit, our lives can be guaranteed."

"That……"

Ji Xiaosong poked the bulge at his waist. "What's this thing that looks like a fanny pack?"

"Energy Core".

Dai Lixing pulled back the outer protective layer, revealing a deep blue crystal. "It can store the energy equivalent of twenty stellar power plants, maintaining its self-cleaning and protective functions for three years without needing to be recharged. However..."

He suddenly smiled and said, "If you want it, this thing can be exchanged for ten Earth-like planets on the black market."

Ji Xiaosong rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but he called her back: "By the way, this outfit has a hidden function."

He activated the holographic projection on his collar, and a three-dimensional topographic map appeared in the air, "capable of locating life forms within a 50,000-kilometer radius in real time."

He traced the flashing red dot with his fingertip, "For example, right now, there's a gopher beast stealing berries in the southwest corner of the yard."

"Wow!"

Ji Xiaosong immediately perked up, "Then can I borrow it to catch bugs?"

"No."

Dai Lixing withdrew the projection. "This is military-grade equipment. No one but me can activate it."

Seeing the girl's disappointed expression, he added almost unconsciously, "However... once you learn how to operate the StarNet, I can teach you how to use the civilian version."

"Can the civilian version be invulnerable to swords and bullets, and impervious to water and fire?"

Ji Xiaosong was more concerned with practicality. If these things could be used in the military in the future, she couldn't even imagine how fast the country's development would be.

"Of course, these are basic functions, nothing special. Even the most basic protective suit has this function."

"So, does that mean you won't need to change these clothes after you put them on?"

"cough……"

Dai Lixing coughed awkwardly, "Not really. There are many different styles of protective suits. You're on Vastar, so you might not know much about the outside world and that almost all the clothes outside are made of protective suits, just with different functions."

"In other words, all fabrics have this function, it's just a matter of how much functionality they offer and how comfortable they are?"

"Correct."

"The outside world is so wonderful."

Ji Xiaosong was even more excited. "Then you'd better hurry up and fix your spaceship and star network. I can't wait to learn about them."
