The starry sky was as magnificent as ever. The nebulae were a stunning blue and purple, scattered like tufts of cotton across the cosmos, mesmerizing anyone who gazed at them.
With a cheerful heart, Lin Huanyan went to clock in at the lab before quickly returning to the living room because her panda babies were about to hatch.
Early that morning, as Lin Huanyan routinely checked the snow beast eggs, she was delighted to find that both eggs had begun cracking.
The golden egg had a crack running from top to bottom, with deep fissures that suggested the snow beast would emerge any moment. The blue egg, with its faint starlight pattern, had smaller cracks by comparison, but it was clear it would also hatch before the day was over.
Lin Huanyan couldn’t focus on work; she stayed by the eggs to watch them hatch.
As soft cracking noises continued, the fissures on the golden egg grew larger.
Lin Huanyan had already laid out everything she bought from the Pika Star: all the supplies were neatly arranged on the nearby shelf, ready to be used at any moment.
The incubator sat on the table, alongside wash liquid and a cozy nest, all prepared in advance.
With a sharp crack, a piece of the golden egg’s shell fell off.
Lin Huanyan stared intently, not daring to blink.
Crack… crack… crack.
Finally, the little creature managed to break a large opening in the shell. A soft, pinkish body wriggled out.
“Ah, my precious baby, you’ve finally come out!”
Wearing sterile gloves, Lin Huanyan gently lifted the pink bundle out of the incubator. Holding it in one hand, she placed it in a bowl of warm, prepared wash liquid and softly cleaned its tiny body with the other.
“You need a name. Since you’re the first to hatch, you’ll be the elder. Let’s call you Dabao (Big Treasure), and the other one can be Xiaobao (Little Treasure).”
The little snow beast seemed to hear its name. Its tiny paw stretched out comfortably in the water, and its shiny black eyes briefly opened to glance at Lin Huanyan before closing again.
That moist, tender gaze almost melted Lin Huanyan’s heart.
After gently wiping it dry, she carefully placed Dabao into a warm, comfy nest and quickly covered it up, afraid it might catch a chill.
It was as though Xiaobao, sensing that its sibling had already hatched, didn’t want to be left behind. By the time Lin Huanyan finished cleaning Dabao, Xiaobao had nearly broken through its own shell.
Lin Huanyan wasn’t in a rush. She sat on the sofa, watching Xiaobao slowly take this monumental step in its life.
“Xiaobao is out too! Come, let Mommy give you a bath.”
She picked up the squirming Xiaobao from the incubator and repeated the cleaning process.
Naturally, she also checked the gender—another little boy, just like Dabao.
Perhaps it was a snow beast’s instinct; Xiaobao also forced its eyes open briefly to see who was bathing it before relaxing and enjoying the process.
The tiny pink bundle wasn’t very large, so the cleaning didn’t take long despite her careful attention.
Lin Huanyan placed Xiaobao into the warm nest as well.
Since there were two snow beasts, Lin Huanyan had specially purchased a figure-eight-shaped nest. Each side had its own round compartment for individual space, yet they were connected in the middle so the two brothers could play together.
Now, both snow beasts lay snugly in the warm nest, their delicate paws weakly moving about.
Lin Huanyan set a timer to remind her to feed them in six hours. She then prepared to head to the lab for work. But after taking just a few steps, she heard soft whimpering sounds from the snow beasts and couldn’t bring herself to leave.
After a moment of hesitation, she picked up their nest and took it to the lab with her.
She placed the nest directly on her workbench so she could keep an eye on the little snow beasts while working.
Lin Huanyan then instructed Robot A to collect today’s delivery packages.
Lin Huanyan kept her eyes on the little snow beasts, trying to figure out whether it was Dabao or Xiaobao who had just made the sound. But the two were busy crawling around, and after watching for a while without any noise, Lin Huanyan gave up.
Looking over, she saw the robot Xiao A had already retrieved the packages. With a shrug, she thought to herself, Well, there’ll be more chances to hear the little ones later.
Today’s delivery wasn’t as much as yesterday’s, only two packages, but their shapes differed greatly: one was large, almost half Lin Huanyan’s height, shaped like a rectangular box, while the other was small, palm-sized, and cylindrical.
Lin Huanyan decided to open the smaller one first. Beneath the plain packaging was a deep blue cylindrical gift box adorned with a beautiful bow. It looked like a gift, but what kind of gift could it be?
She lifted the lid and pulled out the contents. The silky smooth fabric made her pause as she shook it out. A matte black tag fell out first.
Curious, Lin Huanyan picked it up and examined it. “Huh, it’s from the Charm brand.”
She recognized the name. Charm was globally renowned for its exorbitant prices and exclusivity. Not only was it expensive, but it was also hard to get. Their designs were gorgeous, and each piece was unique, prompting countless wealthy buyers to scramble for them.
From what she knew, even several top-tier actresses took pride in owning Charm dresses.
Reading the tag’s description, she learned Charm had ventured into swimwear, which was news to her. But just the fabric alone was incredible—she had never felt such a luxurious texture, not even among the interstellar clothing she’d encountered.
Her journal entry for the day reflected her thoughts: “A swimsuit with an extraordinarily comfortable feel.”
Next up was the larger package. Despite its size, it was surprisingly light. The workbench couldn’t accommodate it, so Lin Huanyan dragged it to the floor and used a small knife to slice it open.
As the contents were revealed, it turned out to be a pool float, shaped like a cloud.
“A pool set today, huh,” Lin Huanyan mused, remembering the large swimming pool on her outdoor terrace.
To be honest, she was tempted to give it a try.
Her journal noted: “An inflatable float that drifts on the water’s surface.”
Without delay, Lin Huanyan retrieved an electric air pump from the box’s corner. After some assembly, she attached the pump to the float. While the robot tidied up the packaging debris, she crouched down to watch the float slowly inflate.
Unfortunately, the pump was too small for the large float. By the time it was fully inflated, Lin Huanyan’s legs had gone numb from squatting.
Standing up, she noticed that even Dabao and Xiaobao had tired themselves out crawling and were now curled up in their nest, their little bellies rising and falling in sleep.
Not wanting to disturb them, Lin Huanyan instructed robot Xiao A to keep an eye on them while summoning robot Xiao C to move the cloud float to the pool. She grabbed the Charm swimsuit and headed to her room to change.
In the small partitioned space, Lin Huanyan had already shed her lab coat and was left wearing only her loose loungewear. She easily slipped it off, revealing her snow-white, smooth skin.
The Charm swimsuit was black. After snipping off the tag, she spread it out on the bed. It was then she noticed how little fabric it actually had.
But Lin Huanyan didn’t have many choices—this was her only swimsuit. Besides, being in this remote star system, a desolate and uninhabited place, there was no chance of anyone showing up.
Perhaps it was the sense of security brought by the solitude that gave Lin Huanyan the courage to wear such a revealing swimsuit she normally wouldn’t consider.
However, unbeknownst to Lin Huanyan, an unexpected visitor had arrived at the star station.
Gu Yincheng, piloting his mecha Yincheng, had ventured into the neighboring sector of the Tianyu Star Pirates Group to test his mecha’s newest weapons while patrolling the area.
The man wore a black-and-white mecha suit that accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. His casual posture further highlighted his impressive physique. With sharp, chiseled features and strikingly handsome looks, he exuded an aura that was both commanding and intimidating.
His piercing gaze showed a hint of curiosity and surprise as he murmured, “Hmm, why is there someone here?”
He recalled this area as being deserted during his last patrol—home only to an abandoned Imperial research lab.
Worried it might be some dangerous organization spying on Tianyu, Gu Yincheng decided to proceed cautiously. He activated the mecha’s stealth mode and quietly approached the brightly lit star station.
“Beep beep. Detected station shield. Attempt to breach?”
“Do it,” Gu Yincheng commanded.
For his combat mecha, breaching a small station’s shield was a trivial task. Soon, the mecha had successfully entered the station’s perimeter.
After circling the station once, Gu Yincheng stopped by the pool. He was just about to extend his spiritual energy to investigate when he heard footsteps approaching from inside.
Meanwhile, Lin Huanyan had figured out how to put on the swimsuit. It was a one-piece with side ties rather than the usual front or back ties.
She looped the halter straps around her neck first, followed by the chest and waist ties, securing each with neat bows.
Lin Huanyan’s figure remained as stunning as it had been on Earth—curvaceous and perfectly proportioned. The swimsuit accentuated her physique, showcasing her beauty to the fullest.
