Jiang Miao bit her chopsticks with a slightly teary yet smiling expression, causing Yan He to chuckle.
He laughed just once, then cleared his throat and used his fist to touch the tip of his nose, gently saying, “Ah, sorry.”
“No need, no need.” Jiang Miao’s face turned crimson, waving her hand. “It’s okay to laugh. I just… I entered university at the age of fifteen, leaving my caregiver. Since then, I haven’t tasted this kind of flavor.”
After saying that, she sniffled. The taste of home, nostalgic and bittersweet.
Yan He opened a bottle of beer. “Then eat more.”
Compared to last night, the atmosphere at the dinner table today was more relaxed and casual. For example, Yan He took the beer from the fridge himself, sparing Jiang Miao the effort.
Jiang Miao had a good appetite and ate an extra bowl of rice compared to usual.
With a satisfied stomach, her mood relaxed, and she naturally shared some personal thoughts with Yan He. “My caregiver is really good at cooking. I thought that if she comes to visit me in the future, she can have a kitchen to use. That’s why I decorated a kitchen.”

Jiang Miao: “…”
Phew… the alarm is lifted.
Not wanting Yan He to notice anything unusual, Jiang Miao resisted wiping the sweat from her forehead and forced out a smile showing eight teeth. “Oh, no, it’s my honor.”
“Is it too hot? Xiaona, lower the room temperature a bit.” Yan He said, casually pulling out a tissue from the table and gently wiping Jiang Miao’s forehead. “Are you eating too fast? You’re sweating.”
Jiang Miao froze.
Is he flirting with her? Definitely flirting!
Jiang Miao, after all, wasn’t a fool. Having had three boyfriends in two lifetimes, she was quite sensitive to the attraction between men and women.
Yan He, at this moment, as Major Yan, is flirting with her!
That’s right!
Just because someone looks like they’re keeping their desires in check doesn’t mean they really are. Thinking about Yan He’s impressive physique score, his slender and strong waist1Adults here should know why the waist is important in this context, and considering the societal culture where casual relationships are no big deal, he is definitely flirting!
Yan He, a young man with a strong physique and overflowing hormones, living under the same roof as Jiang Miao, a beautiful young woman, wanting something to happen, seeking some relief, is entirely normal in this society.
Jiang Miao’s thoughts were influenced by her past life.
In her past life, her country portrayed soldiers as upright, patriotic, and celibate. Relationships between men and women, especially with military personnel, were not to be taken lightly, as it could be considered disrespectful.
But in this interstellar era, being a soldier is just a profession, not much different from any other.
When Yan He takes off his uniform, he is just a man, not much different from other men… well, there are some differences; he is more irresistible to women!
Jiang Miao went through what was probably the most agonizing few seconds since her time travel – struggling between the overwhelming hormones and the rational desire for a child!
There were two little people fighting in her mind!
White little person: No! Developing a romantic relationship with a parenting partner will fall into the old Earth’s era’s husband and wife model! The parenting advantages of the interstellar era will be completely lost!
Black little person: You can’t easily come across a handsome guy in this uniform. If you miss this one, where else will you find someone like him?
White little person: Think about what you truly desire. Is it a man? With a K702the s3x robot in hand, men will come and go! Children, children are what you truly want!
Black little person: But is this an ordinary man? This is an ice-cold, celibate interstellar military officer! This is the kind of male protagonist you could only find in romance novels in your past life! Think about the chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and the large back muscles you’ve seen! Think about that little leopard waist!
White little person: Children! Children! Children!
Black little person: Waist! Waist! Waist! Ah, no! Waist! Waist! Waist!
Jiang Miao’s throat made a “gulp” sound!
Biting her lip, just as she was about to speak, Yan He’s hand had already left her forehead. Glancing at the slightly damp tissue, he said, “You sweat so easily? Your physiological condition is more serious than I thought.”
His tone was calm, his expression indifferent, and even his gaze showed no fluctuation. When he said these words, he seemed solemn.
Jiang Miao: “…”
No, it can’t be like this!
No matter how tangled her thoughts were, Jiang Miao had to keep a straight face as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn’t just experienced a fierce internal struggle. She cleared her throat and said, “I reviewed my physiological data today, and you’re right. It has indeed deteriorated compared to my school days.”
“Forgive my bluntness,” Yan He pinched the glass, leaned back, and his gaze seemed to carry a hint of a smile, “It’s more than just ‘some,’ isn’t it?”
Jiang Miao’s spring and autumn tactics were exposed, and her face turned a bit red.
What does it resemble?
It seems a bit like the dawn’s first blush on the mother planet.
Yan He raised his glass, took a sip, and lowered his eyes, moving his gaze away from the girl’s rosy cheeks.
Jiang Miao had an advantage—she never avoided problems. If something went wrong, she dealt with it, corrected it.
“Ahem, um, didn’t you say you’d talk to me in detail tonight?” Jiang Miao stiffened her neck and said, “Come on, let’s talk in the living room.”
Her neck was snowy white, delicate, slender, and graceful.
Yan He’s gaze shifted, and he set down the glass. “Okay.”
The two moved to the living room, and the household robot began to tidy up the dining room.
Yan He activated the wrist smart screen and said, “I analyzed your physical data and the data from your home planet, Dufa Star. With your current physique, if you were to return to Dufa Star, you probably wouldn’t be able to live a normal life.”
This was consistent with what Xiao Du analyzed today.
Jiang Miao scratched her face.
She often had such small gestures. Yan He glanced at her and said, “So, although on the Capital Star, your physique still seems much stronger than others, in reality, as someone born on a medium to high-gravity planet, you’ve been in a sub-healthy state all these years.”
This expression is much more vivid than Xiaodu’s3her labortory ai “reduced by thirty-one percent.”
“Then…” Jiang Miao scratched her face again.
“This means that you are not healthy enough. Similarly, in this state, the eggs you produce are not healthy enough,” Yan He said. “Since you, like me, sincerely want to collaborate to have a child, I think we should strive to achieve…”
“Optimization.”
“Perfection.”
Both of them spoke in unison, expressing the same meaning with different words.
Rounding it off, they seemed to have reached a consensus again! Jiang Miao couldn’t help but smile, her eyes curved.
Yan He: “…”
Why is she so happy even after being criticized? Yan He’s mouth twitched.
But unexpectedly, her mood relaxed.
Yan He tapped his fingers on the touchscreen a couple of times and sent it over.
The screen unfolded in front of Jiang Miao, and she looked at it for a moment, surprised. “Is this?”
“I made a training plan for you,” Yan He said. “Judging by how well you complete it, if it’s not too bad, we can start conceiving a child in three to six months.”
Jiang Miao knew that this “conceiving4artificial” was not the same as the other “conceiving5organic/intimate,” but her ears still felt a bit warm.
“Got it!” She clapped her hands together in front of her chest. “Next, I will follow your exercise plan to condition my body! Don’t worry! Once I have a plan, I will definitely complete it diligently!”
Her eyes were bright and focused, gleaming under the simulated sunlight of the blue sky and white clouds.
Communication went much smoother than Yan He expected, especially considering that Jiang Miao showed no reluctance or resistance. She willingly listened to his advice, executed his plan, and didn’t negotiate or bargain at all.
Yan He calmly withdrew the data he had sent over and said, “Once the new gravity field generator is installed, I’ll conduct a test and adjust the schedule of this training plan based on the data.”
In fact, when Yan He was devising the plan, he had considered that someone like Jiang Miao, a researcher, might resist engaging in these physically demanding exercises. He left room for negotiation in the data, anticipating potential objections.
The result…
He had underestimated her. Although she was inclined towards intellectual pursuits, her personality was straightforward and amiable, making her quite likable.
When Yan He mentioned the gravity field generator, Jiang Miao suddenly remembered.
Today, she had upgraded the generator using the company’s equipment, but once she returned home and got caught up in the immense happiness of having a “handsome military brother who can cook,” she forgot about it.
She quickly called out to Xiaona, “Put the gravity field generator back in the gym.”
Xiaona accepted the command and operated the robot to carry out the task.
Yan He asked, “Is it set up?”
Jiang Miao nodded, “I did it at the company.”
Yan He nodded, “Saved a lot of trouble.”
The gravity field generator that Yan He needed had a power capacity beyond the scope of ordinary civilian use. Even though he came from a high-gravity planet, obtaining such a high-power generator would require him to submit an application to the government for approval.
Jiang Miao, working at a company like Allison, managed it on her own.
“So, this is the one I made,” she said. “Don’t worry, its quality is at least eight times stronger than those on the market.”
When discussing her professional field, the girl’s playfulness disappeared, replaced by a brimming self-confidence.
Another kind of radiant charm emanated from her.
“Good,” Yan He smiled and invited, “Want to give it a try?”
Tasks such as installation and repairs were much more efficiently handled by robots than by humans. Especially since Jiang Miao’s robot wasn’t a standard off-the-shelf model; it was a customized unit from the company’s robotics department.
Allison is a military-industrial enterprise, and its products have a much higher level of precision compared to civilian products.
The gravity field generator has been installed and connected to the network.
Yan He gave the command, “Xiaona, gradually increase to three times gravity.”
Following orders, Xiaona initiated the process.
Jiang Miao took a deep breath, tensed her muscles, and felt her body gradually becoming heavier.
This time, she was prepared and wouldn’t collapse under three times gravity.
However, Jiang Miao hadn’t experienced such high gravity for a long time, and moving became slow and difficult under this level of force.
Yan He seemed unaffected.
He asked, “Are you okay?”
Jiang Miao took a breath and said, “I’m fine.”
“If you’re okay, I’ll continue to increase the gravity,” Yan He said. “I want to see your limits.”
In this world, nothing comes easily.
In the past, during the Earth era, becoming a mother was such a difficult journey for women!
Nausea, swelling, insomnia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, contractions, screams on the delivery bed!
Even if one endured all of that and avoided fatal complications like severe bleeding or amniotic fluid embolism, there was still the unavoidable episiotomy with its ugly stitches, lochia, infection, uterine prolapse, vaginal laxity, stretch marks on the belly, thickened waist, aging skin, and declining memory!
But now, in the present, the majority of these challenges have been overcome!
There really isn’t much that requires her to sacrifice or endure!
Compared to the sacrifices and efforts made by mothers on ancient Earth, this bit of fitness training is nothing!
For the sake of having a healthy baby, it’s all worth it!
Jiang Miao gritted her teeth. “I can do it! Come on!”
Sansukini: Jiang Miao hit the jackpot. (Or did she?)
