Yan He was waiting for Jiang Miao to have dinner in the dining room when he asked Xiaona to show him the surveillance footage. If he were to copy it, Jiang Miao might find out that a certain major had directly recorded the screen with his wrist-style smart brain.
After watching Dr. Jiang cook again, imitating his every move, Yan He covered his eyes and laughed silently.
At this moment, his mood was completely different from a few days ago when he had just left the military base. For no apparent reason, he felt relaxed and joyful.
Of course, it couldn’t be said to be “for no apparent reason.” It should be said that he was lucky to meet a girl like Dr. Jiang.
Not only was she young, beautiful, and talented, but also, probably because she was involved in scientific research, she exuded a somewhat nerdy aura. Most people, after leaving school and entering society for a few years, would be smoothed and polished by the competition for interests, becoming more worldly-wise. However, possibly due to the relatively simple working environment for technical professionals, Dr. Jiang retained a degree of simplicity and innocence at heart.
Seeing her clear and pure eyes, Yan He knew she wasn’t like Cynthia, a girl with a complex and calculating mind who knew how to play the game.
Being with her was particularly easy.
Yesterday, Yan He was just going through the necessary steps for “cooperative reproduction.” Today, he already had genuine expectations for the coming years.

During Major Yan’s stay here, it would be inconvenient to use the k70. Well, she had to go back to basics and buy a small one later.
But going from luxury to frugality is easy, while going from frugality to luxury is hard. Getting used to the k70 and then reverting to the era of the small one, oh, the frustration…
Just as she let out a few frustrated sounds, Xiaona came to reply.
“Oh, he said he will be careful?”
“Yes, Doctor.”
Jiang Miao sighed. Major Yan is really a good person. She felt that she might have misunderstood the situation at the dining table. Someone like Major Yan, who exuded charm in every move, might not have had that intention at all. With someone as handsome as him, there must be plenty of romantic opportunities.
Jiang Miao also had her own understanding; she was no different.
In fact, a beautiful and accomplished girl like Jiang Miao could easily have a multitude of romantic options if she wished, just like Cynthia, indulging in threesomes and foursomes without a shortage of suitors.
However, Jiang Miao just found it uninteresting.
Even if a man was passionately pursuing her at the moment, if his heart never anticipated a future, calmly waiting for the current passion to fade, experiencing aesthetic fatigue, and then moving on to seek another thrill, it wasn’t appealing to her.
No one pursued a “result”; what people wanted was only the “process,” the “present,” the “now.”
After experiencing this twice in a row, Jiang Miao became indifferent to live-for-the-moment men.
Men like Major Yan were probably no exception.
Jiang Miao sighed softly.
Even in the ancient Earth era, people longed for equality, independence, staying single, and not being disturbed. When they finally achieved these, they wished to be cared for, cherished, and accompanied.
Human nature is greedy.
But Jiang Miao was inherently optimistic. Mourning over her fate for half a minute while staring at the ceiling was enough; after that half minute, she transformed back into a tough woman, focusing on the positive aspects of life.
Having a child’s father with such good genes is the best in everything.
Moreover, he seems like a good person as well.
For the future interactions, Jiang Miao felt that she should release more goodwill and enthusiasm towards Major Yan, making him strongly feel her expectations.
“Xiaona!” she called out.
“I’m here!” Xiaona was always ready.
Jiang Miao said, “Change my breakfast menu for tomorrow morning…”
After the first day of getting accustomed to each other, on Wednesday morning, after Yan He finished his morning exercise and showered, and Jiang Miao dressed up and applied makeup, the two of them coincidentally met in the dining room at the perfect time.
“Good morning, Major!”
“Good morning, Doctor.”
Yan He was well-dressed, and Jiang Miao looked lively.
Both of them could see each other’s sincerity.
Very good, very good!
“Xiaona, bring in breakfast.” Jiang Miao didn’t personally handle it today, she pulled out a chair, sat down, and energetically gave instructions to Xiaona.
She even snapped her fingers, and the sunlight streaming in through the window seemed to become brighter.
Jiang Miao wasn’t satisfied yet. She snapped her fingers three times in a row, adjusting the refraction of the glass in the French window, making the sunlight on the dining table noticeably brighter.
“Is this better, or was it better just now?” Jiang Miao asked.
Yan He gladly said, “This is more comfortable.”
“I heard that people who have been in space for a long time prefer sunlight more than others, is that true?”
It’s evident that she put thought into it. Yan He smiled slightly and said, “Yes, artificial sunlight is always a little different from the real thing.”
As they were talking, the robot brought the breakfast over and placed it steadily on the table.
Jiang Miao had a ham and egg sandwich.
Yan He had congee and steamed buns, a bowl of congee, and twenty steamed buns.
Jiang Miao/Yan He: “…”
【Close alignment of dietary habits is a small trick for harmonious living.】
— From “Five Hundred Effective Tips for Cooperative Parenting”
Yan He and Jiang Miao were momentarily speechless.
“You…” both of them started to speak at the same time, then stopped simultaneously.
“You’ve also read ‘Five Hundred’?” Jiang Miao couldn’t believe it and asked eagerly.
She really thought that in this matter, she was the only one nervously searching for experiences and advice.
“Although I usually don’t look like someone who gets nervous, but,” Yan He said slowly and unmoving like a mountain, “this is indeed my first time having a child.”
Jiang Miao: “…”
May I ask how you manage to convey to others, through such calm and indifferent tone, intonation, expression, and even gaze, an attitude that seems to suggest you have everything under control, plans in mind, and are strategizing, while at the same time admitting that you are also nervous?
Jiang Miao covered her face.
Yan He shifted his gaze, raised his cup, and took a sip of water. However, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“How about this!” Jiang Miao clapped her hands, “Xiaona, you will decide our breakfast from now on.”
Xiaona readily agreed, “Sure!”
Jiang Miao looked at Yan He, “If you have any dietary preferences, just tell Xiaona.”
“No need, I have no dietary restrictions.” Yan He picked up a steamed bun, “I’ve eaten everything during field operations.”
“…” Jiang Miao, “By ‘everything,’ do you mean…?”
“Telling you might ruin your appetite for breakfast,” Yan He took a bite of the steamed bun, smiling, “I’ll tell you when the opportunity arises.”
Suddenly, Jiang Miao’s scalp tingled and she quickly said, “No, no need to tell me.”
Yan He laughed and turned his head away.
The handsome young man sat casually at the dining table, bathed in bright sunlight, with a smile in his eyes…
Jiang Miao felt like something had hit her heart. Hadn’t she seen this scene in a dream?
But then she realized, this wasn’t a lover, a husband, or even a family member. This was just a collaborator.
She quickly grabbed a sandwich and took a big bite.
Although it was a mechanized steamed bun, Yan He felt that it seemed even more delicious than the artificially made steamed buns he had eaten before.
Perhaps it was because the dining environment was different, and the person he was eating with was also different?
Of course, he had breakfast alone with other women before. Many of them even personally cooked breakfast for him, hoping for a “next time” or even trying to capture his heart by capturing his stomach.
However, he had never encountered someone like Jiang Miao, who seemed to approach each new day with anticipation in the early morning. She infected others with her enthusiasm for life from the early morning, making people involuntarily look forward to it.
Before leaving, Yan He told Jiang Miao, “I’ve ordered new fitness equipment, but it’s a special custom-made blue steel alloy, so it will take a few days to arrive. But let’s start your training plan today. I’ll wait for you to come home.”
Jiang Miao couldn’t help but clench her fist, “Okay!”
Yan He nodded. Only when the gate closed did he finally relax his face, look at the door, and smile.
That smile was fleeting, fading away shortly after. The young man walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, crossed his arms, and looked at this unfamiliar planet with deep contemplation.
Jiang Miao changed into her work uniform, and as soon as she entered the laboratory, Tanaka noticed, “Oh, you’re positively glowing.”
“Go, go, go!” Jiang Miao shooed him away and shouted, “Xiao Du, give me yesterday’s progress, and also, coffee!”
The screen unfolded, and the AI simultaneously responded, “Certainly, Doctor.”
The voice was deep, magnetic, and had a hint of softness when carefully listened to.
“Huh?” Tanaka leaned in again, “Did you change your voice? Whose voice is this? A singer? It sounds really good, Xiao Du, make a copy for me.”
“Sorry, Dr. Tanaka.” Xiao Du continued to respond in the same voice, “This voice pattern belongs to Dr. Jiang privately. Unauthorized reproduction is not allowed.”
Tanaka: “…”
Jiang Miao turned her head, giving him only the back of her head.
Tanaka: “Hey.”
Dr. Jiang played dead.
Tanaka: “Do you have to be so stingy?”
Dr. Jiang continued to play dead.
Tanaka: “At least tell me which celebrity’s voice this is so I can buy it myself.”
Dr. Jiang played dead to the end.
Tanaka found it inexplicable. It was just a voice, not worth much money. What was wrong with Jiang Miao?
But he was an experienced mature man who had been through a lot, and after a moment of confusion, a sudden flash of insight occurred in his mind.
“I say…” He stared at Jiang Miao, “This, could it be the voice of that Major of yours?”
Dr. Jiang couldn’t pretend anymore: “Cough!”
“I say,” Tanaka rested his chin on his hand, hitting the nail on the head, “did you copy someone’s voice? Did you even say hello to them?”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!” Dr. Jiang coughed as if he was about to die.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Stolen recording, huh?” Tanaka’s eyes gleamed, “To make you like this, this guy in uniform must be really charming. Come, show me his picture again. Don’t be stingy, don’t be stingy!”
Unable to resist Tanaka’s teasing and her own underlying sense of pride, Jiang Miao reluctantly “forced” out a photo of Yan He.
Tanaka poked and prodded the virtual screen with his fingers, rotating the 3D photo.
“You don’t say, at that time, you matched six, all good-looking, and I didn’t notice him. Now that I look closely, he does get better the more you look.” Tanaka praised.
Jiang Miao’s vanity was greatly satisfied, showing off, “What’s this, you have to see the real person! Let me tell you, 3D photos have no soul! You can’t see a person’s temperament and aura from a photo! You have to feel it up close!”
Like the first glance of sternness.
Like the joy of the first smile.
Like the breathlessness caused by the slender and flexible waist.
Like the solid chest, strong arms, and the unique body scent lingering around the nose all night, making people uneasy.
Jiang Miao was lost in thought for a moment, then snapped back. Tanaka’s old man’s face was almost right in front of her nose.
“A treasure like this?” Tanaka’s expression was serious, his voice deep, “You really won’t try it?”
Jiang Miao: “…”
It’s the battle between the children and the waist again… the war of the waist!
Jiang Miao gritted her teeth and said tragically, “No!”
Although it was only three years, Jiang Miao also hoped to spend these three years peacefully with Yan He.
In this society, she couldn’t give the child a dad who would be with them for a long time, but at least she wanted to give the child three years of a happy and complete family.
Ugh~
Tanaka sighed deeply.
“Then don’t waste it.” He earnestly requested, “I happen to be currently unattached.”
Dr. Jiang: “…”
Get away, get away, get away!
Dr. Chicken Mom Miao spread her protective little wings!
