InterStellar Dad

Chapter 20: Injury

Seeing the girl holding her breath, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Yan He’s eyes.

“Xiaona,” his voice remained steady, “Increase the gravity to 3.1 times.”

“3.2 times.”

“3.3 times.”

“3.4 times.”

The body gradually became as heavy as a mountain, and even lifting a hand became difficult. But when Yan He asked, “Is it okay?” Jiang Miao gritted her teeth and replied, “Okay…”

Lips, teeth, every muscle felt heavy, making even saying a single word challenging.

Under this gravity, an ordinary person would have long been unable to endure, fainting or even facing life-threatening dangers. Only Jiang Miao and Yan He could withstand it.

Jiang Miao first heard a few grating sounds, and just as she was about to react to the harsh noise, she was already forcefully pulled into a sturdy chest!

The tip of her nose felt a bit painful from the impact, but Jiang Miao’s attention wasn’t on that— the man’s breath enveloped her, the chest was warm and sturdy, and the arms were as hard as steel.

Ah, the feel of that skin, the elasticity of the muscles!1She’s so thirsty.

Even the most realistic k70 couldn’t compare!

Jiang Miao was dumbfounded.

Yan He calmly said, “Xiaona, deactivate the gravity field,” and then released Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao suddenly snapped back to reality and anxiously asked, “Are you… okay?” As the gravity field gradually weakened and deactivated, she could finally speak smoothly.

Regaining control of her body, Jiang Miao reached out, transitioning from “being held” to “supporting.” When the shards of broken metal shot out, Yan He had protected her with his body, and his back must be injured!

As Jiang Miao touched Yan He’s back, she indeed felt blood. She was shocked.

However, the scene of the imagined man leaning on her weakly did not happen.

Although his back was bleeding, Yan He’s expression remained unchanged. Not only did he stand firmly, but he also reassured her, saying, “I’m fine, don’t panic.”

“It’s just a superficial wound; laser treatment will be sufficient,” he asked, “Do you have a home medical kit here?”

Jiang Miao hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes! Xiaona!”

Xiaona, the advanced AI, didn’t need Jiang Miao to command in this situation. She had already given instructions to the robot when she detected Yan He’s injury.

When Jiang Miao called Xiaona, the robot had already slid over from the doorway. A part of its body opened, and a medical mechanical arm extended.

Jiang Miao said, “Turn around quickly, let me take a look!”

Yan He turned around. In the evening, he was cooking at home, wearing a soft and elastic close-fitting T-shirt, which highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist. However, the white fabric on his back was now stained red with blood.

Seeing the large patch of crimson, Jiang Miao’s heart trembled.

But Yan He suddenly chuckled.

Jiang Miao looked up, and Yan He was turning his head to look back at her. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he said, “Looks scary, but it’s just a skin wound. Not even the muscles are injured. Dr. You… seem to have forgotten that you were born on a high-gravity planet.”

With his laughter, Jiang Miao’s intelligence returned.

People from high-gravity planets have much denser bones and muscle fibers than those from standard gravity planets, and their strength is naturally incomparable.

“Is it true that people from high-gravity planets can even stop low-intensity bullets with the hardness of their muscle fibers?” Jiang Miao asked.

Yan He’s concise response was, “Stopped them.”

The use of this tense… Jiang Miao took a sharp breath, but also felt relieved, saying, “You’ve lost quite a bit of blood.”

Yan He turned his head and said, “Sharp objects can cut through the skin; there’s no way to avoid that.” Afterward, with a swift motion, he grabbed the front of the T-shirt and pulled it apart, turning a pullover T-shirt into a cardigan, and took it off like removing a shirt.

The iron shavings embedded in the skin fell to the ground with a crackling sound as he did so, making Jiang Miao’s eyebrows twitch. Even if they were just superficial wounds, it still hurt!

Yan He sat down on the spot and said, “Let’s do it here to avoid making a mess elsewhere.”

The robot approached, and Jiang Miao quickly stepped back to make room, squatting down next to him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that these wounds were just cuts on the skin.

The mechanical arm first activated the electromagnetic force to suck out the debris. Then, it sprayed a disinfectant and bactericidal mist onto the wounds. After drying quickly, laser light was applied to the wounds, simultaneously acting to stop bleeding, seal, and repair.

Soon, all the tiny wounds on Yan He’s back were healed. On his wheat-colored back, the newly repaired skin was slightly lighter in color, with a faint pinkish tint, resembling a sprinkle of broken agate.

“This robot is quite impressive. What model is it?” Yan He glanced at Jiang Miao’s household robot.

“Not available on the market,” Jiang Miao said, “I customized it from within the company.”

Yan He understood, “Military-grade?”

“Yes,” Jiang Miao admitted.

No wonder, ordinary household robots couldn’t achieve this level of precision. Yan He praised, “Well done.”

He reached back and touched his back, saying, “Alright, I’m going to take a shower.” With a push, he stood up.

Jiang Miao quickly stood up as well and called out, “Major!”

Yan He looked down, and in Jiang Miao’s sapphire-like eyes, there was nothing but apology. “I’m… sorry, it’s all because I didn’t think it through…”

The gym equipment at home was also customized, but at the time of customization, Jiang Miao only chose reinforced steel with four additional markings. The strength of this steel was sufficient to withstand three times gravity, which was more than enough for Jiang Miao, who considered herself a bit of a weakling.

In fact, when upgrading the gravity field generator at the company today, she had thought about it. If the generator was upgraded, the home fitness equipment would also need to be upgraded. However, considering that Yan He’s needs might differ from hers, she planned to discuss with him when she got back and see what kind of model they could customize together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got home, there was a culinary onslaught, and Yan He seemed to be (allegedly)2I believe he’s also attracted to her flirting with her at the dinner table again. Jiang Miao’s mind was in chaos all night, and she completely forgot about this matter.

This led to Yan He getting injured.

“How can you blame yourself?” Yan He was somewhat surprised. “It’s all my fault.”

“Huh?” Jiang Miao was stunned.

Yan He apologized, “The equipment at home is made of customized blue steel alloy. I’m used to it, didn’t expect it to be different here.”

Blue steel alloy is a material used to manufacture spacecraft hulls, capable of withstanding high-gravity environments.

“So, it’s my responsibility. Don’t take it on yourself.” Yan He said.

“Uh, how can that be? I was planning to discuss with you tonight about how to replace these pieces of equipment when I got back. I just forgot…” Jiang Miao felt that as the owner, she should bear full responsibility and couldn’t help scratching her face.

“Alright, alright.” Yan He glanced at that finger, “Let’s just split the responsibility, don’t argue. I should go take a shower now.”

Seemingly finding it amusing for the two of them to argue about taking responsibility, he didn’t finish his sentence, but a smile had already appeared on his face.

With just one smile from Yan He, Jiang Miao felt dizzy and quickly said, “Alright then, you go. Um, about the equipment…”

“Leave it to me.” Yan He smiled, “Leave the technical stuff to you, and the training aspect to me.”

Because one is a brainiac, and the other is a brawn, ah!

Ah! Truly, truly wonderful!

Yan He looked at Jiang Miao, whose cheeks were blushing again, and his pupils lit up, casting his shadow.

He gazed intently, “Did I say something wrong?” Why did she have such a strange reaction?

“Ah, no, I… Major!” Excited, Jiang Miao grabbed one of Yan He’s hands, enclosing it with both hands, “I just suddenly thought that our child, the child we have together, will have Dad’s physique, Mom’s brain, and inherit our looks. Absolutely not ugly! Just think about it, this child, oh my, our child is simply perfect!”

All the joy and anticipation, both transmitted through her two small hands into his body.

Dr. Jiang… truly looks forward to this child very much.

Yan He silently gazed at Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao: “…”

Letting go of his hand, she adjusted her hair on the left and right.

“Cough.” Someone said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I get carried away when I’m excited…”

Yan He pursed his lips and silently smiled, with a gaze that melted like ice and snow.

Someone forgot about embarrassment and just stared.

“Must be very perfect. I’m looking forward to it too.” Yan He smiled, “Good night, Dr. Jiang.”

“G-Good night, Major!” Someone reflexively and dumbly replied.

Watching the tall and solid man disappear at the entrance of the gym, Jiang Miao clenched her fists with both hands, bit her lip tightly, and let out a silent scream at the ceiling:

Oh my god!

What should I do!

A walking hormone!

The most troublesome thing is, why is it so hard for Jiang Miao to control herself when she’s near Yan He? Because Yan He is her ideal type for two lifetimes!

It’s that kind, seen on TV, fantasized in novels, daydreamed in spring dreams, and in the era of K70!

Jiang Miao silently screamed at the ceiling for several minutes before feeling that she had calmed down.

Mom, every morning and night, he tempts her with such allure, it’s life-threatening!

Jiang Miao, in anxiety, started biting her fingers again!

Stomping back to her bedroom, she took a shower first to calm down. After the shower, she had a plan.

No, there’s still Xiaona!

“Xiaona.” Jiang Miao cleared her throat, “Help me convey to Major that considering our possible cohabitation for up to three years, no, including the pregnancy period, it should be four years, during this long period together, for everyone’s convenience, I hope that when all of us are in this house, we can dress neatly, cough, cough.”

“Okay, Dr. Jiang.” Xiaona, despite having a personality upgrade package, wouldn’t have any “awkward” emotions and naturally became the best messenger.

In the guest bedroom, Yan He finished showering much faster than Jiang Miao. He had already finished and was organizing the audio and video diaries from his private brain at home.

In the father’s room, ah no, in the guest bedroom, Yan He took a shower much faster than Jiang Miao. He was sorting out the audio and video diaries he had collected from his personal computer.

“Got it.” Yan He didn’t even raise an eyebrow at Xiaona’s message, “I will pay attention, please rest assured, Dr.”

Yan He watched segment after segment of recorded video diaries until he felt tired, then closed the desktop computer and lay down on the bed, preparing to sleep.

He couldn’t sleep for a while. He was not on the front lines, and he didn’t want to use the military’s breathing hypnosis technique. With nothing else to do, Yan He turned to look at the bedside table and reached for his wrist-style smart brain.

The light screen unfolded, playing a slightly lower-resolution surveillance video.

Dr. Jiang is walking back to her bedroom from the kitchen.

Yan He repeatedly watched it over and over, feeling more relaxed.
