"boom!"
As the countdown ended, a tremendous force came from behind, as if an invisible hand was pushing her upwards.
The scenery outside the window flashed by—mountains, trees, and the night—instantly stretched into a blurry band of light.
Shen Suyuan stared intently out the window, her heart pounding wildly, yet she couldn't bear to close her eyes.
The ground is receding into the distance.
faster and faster.
further and further.
On the ground, Nie Zhan stood on flat ground, looking up as he watched two white streaks of light pierce the night sky and disappear into the depths of the starry sea in an instant.
The night wind carried the chill of the mountains, and he shrank his neck and rubbed his face, which was a little stiff from the wind.
"okay."
He withdrew his gaze and waved to the bodyguards who were still standing around.
"Get to work, clean this up, don't leave a single trace."
A dozen or so people immediately sprang into action, their movements swift and quiet, like a group of cats roaming the night.
Some people were moving equipment, others were inspecting the site, and still others were sweeping the ground with some kind of instrument.
Nie Zhan looked up at the night sky one last time.
Those two streaks of light were long gone, leaving only the stars shining brightly in the sky, just like before.
When will my love come?
"I long to be loved too!"
He murmured softly, then turned and walked down the mountain.
Meanwhile, in the sky...
Shen Suyuan didn't know how long she had been flying.
It could take a long time, or it could only be a few minutes.
The view outside the window has completely changed.
The blurry bands of light vanished, replaced by a deep, pure darkness. Boundless and endless, so black it seemed to suck in one's gaze.
And in this darkness, countless stars are densely packed.
They weren't the twinkling stars you see on the ground. They just shone quietly, some bluish, some yellowish, some blindingly bright, and some just faint points.
They no longer blinked, no longer hid; they simply floated calmly and quietly in this boundless darkness.
She saw the blue star.
The blue planet was slowly rotating below her, its surface covered by clouds like a thin veil.
The outline of the land is faintly visible, and the coastline meanders into the distance.
It is so big that it can hold billions of people, but from this distance, it looks so small that you can cover it with one hand.
Shen Suyuan's eyes started to sting again.
But this time she held back.
She looked out the window at the blue planet that was getting farther and farther away, at the boundless universe, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.
They're going on a date in space.
On the entire planet Earth, you probably can't find another couple like them.
Shen Suyuan stared out the window for a long time.
As the initial shock subsided, my first thought was to share it with someone.
She blurted out instinctively, "Ah Feng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen in front of him lit up.
Lu Feng's face appeared on the screen, still sporting that annoying smile, but with a hint of concern in his eyes: "What's wrong? Are you scared or missing me?"
Shen Suyuan couldn't help but laugh, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She looked at the face on the screen and said earnestly, "Ah Feng, thank you."
"Ok?"
“In my entire life,” she paused, her voice softening, “I never imagined I could see the universe, see the blue planet, from this perspective.”
Lu Feng on the other end of the screen was silent for a second, then the smile on his lips deepened.
"So, would you like to," he said slowly, "to go out and take a look?"
Shen Suyuan was stunned for a moment.
go out?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the dark and deep space outside the window, and a whole bunch of things instantly popped into her mind—cosmic radiation, vacuum environment, lack of oxygen, temperature difference... all the words from the space movies and popular science articles she had watched over the years came rushing back.
She turned around and shook her head firmly at the screen: "No, no, no, I'm happy just to look around from inside the launch bay. I don't expect to go outside."
Lu Feng laughed out loud on the other end of the screen.
“Trust your man,” he said. “Just lie down in the chair and relax.”
Shen Suyuan's heart skipped a beat.
She looked at him, and he looked at her, their eyes so certain that it seemed like nothing more than a trivial matter.
Shen Suyuan bit her lip, but in the end she did as he said, leaning back in the seat and lying down obediently.
Then she heard noises around her.
Soft mechanical noises came from all directions, as if something was operating.
She turned her head and her eyes nearly popped out. Several hidden compartments suddenly opened in the originally smooth bulkheads, and several silver-white mechanical claws emerged from them, their tips pinching a soft mass.
It's a spacesuit.
But it was completely different from the spacesuit she remembered.
It's not one of those bulky, heavy white behemoths, but a lighter, more form-fitting one-piece suit with a silver-gray sheen, looking like it was pulled straight out of a science fiction movie.
Before Shen Suyuan could react, the mechanical claws started working.
The movements were astonishingly fast, yet terrifyingly precise. Two claws lifted her arms, while the others began to slip over her from her feet.
She felt something spreading up from her ankles, enveloping her calves, thighs, waist, abdomen, chest, and arms... The whole process felt like being surrounded by a group of skilled tailors taking her measurements, except that these tailors were all made of metal and moved incredibly fast.
She tried to move, but the claws gently held her down, not with much force, but the meaning was clear: they didn't want her to move.
It only took two or three minutes.
The last claw gently fastened the helmet, and with a click, it snapped shut perfectly at the collar.
Shen Suyuan hadn't even had time to catch her breath, let alone ask, "Is that all?"
The hatch suddenly opened.
A sudden force propelled her from under the seat, launching her forward.
"what!!!"
The feeling of weightlessness instantly overwhelmed her.
Surrounded by boundless darkness, she felt as if she were falling into some bottomless abyss, yet she had no sense of direction. She felt like a feather, floating aimlessly in the air.
Her instinctive reaction made her want to scream and struggle, but her limbs felt like they weren't her own, and she didn't know where to put her strength.
"Ah Feng!!!"
She shouted.
The sound echoed muffledly inside the helmet.
"I'm here."
That familiar voice rang out almost immediately, right beside her ear, as peacefully as when the two of them sat side by side chatting.
"Don't be afraid, turn around."
Shen Suyuan tried her best to calm herself down and turned around.
A hand was firmly gripping her wrist.
Following her arm, she saw Lu Feng, also wearing a silver-gray spacesuit, hovering beside her, his eyes peeking out from his helmet, a smile on his face.
Shen Suyuan stared blankly at him, then looked down at the equipment she was wearing.
It's too light.
It was so light it didn't feel like a spacesuit; it felt more like wearing a slightly thicker coat.
She tried raising her arm, and it was as flexible as if she were on land.
The clumsy movements of astronauts in those movies are completely absent here.
