Chapter 219 Interstellar Wilderness Star Farmer 30
Ji Xiaosong lowered her eyes to hide her smile, then turned and walked towards the kitchen: "You can stay, but first go and trim the wisteria outside the yard."
Dai Lixing immediately stood up, but staggered half a step because he had been kneeling for too long.
He watched Ji Xiaosong's figure disappear behind the wooden door, then looked down and found his palms were sweaty. Even the most top-secret military documents had never made him so nervous.
The evening breeze carried the aroma of braised pork through the courtyard. Dai Lixing took a deep breath and suddenly felt that every grain of dust on this nameless planet was telling a story of destiny.
Dai Li walked outside the courtyard and looked at the lush wisteria.
Its branches stretched out wildly, some of them already entwined around the wooden fence next to it.
He reached out and grabbed a thick wisteria branch; it felt rough to the touch, bearing the marks of time.
He picked up the trimming tools and carefully began to trim.
Each time a section is cut off, a little juice seeps out from the cut end, emitting a faint fragrance.
While pruning, Dai Lixing's gaze was frequently drawn to the fruit in the vegetable garden.
The fruits were plump and round, shimmering with an alluring luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Finally, he couldn't resist and walked to the edge of the vegetable garden, reaching out to pick a cherry tomato.
The fruit has a smooth skin, and juice will overflow when you squeeze it gently.
He took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste instantly spread in his mouth.
The familiar smell startled him, and something in his memory seemed to be surging.
He stood there, chewing on the fruit, but his gaze was somewhat unfocused.
In a daze, he seemed to see two figures moving through the vegetable garden, their laughter echoing in the air.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the illusory image, but the image only became clearer.
He took another bite of the fruit, and the sense of familiarity grew stronger. It seemed as if he had experienced a similar scene before, on a similar evening, tasting the same fruit.
Dai Lixing's hands trembled slightly; he didn't understand why he felt this way.
He looked toward the wooden house, and Ji Xiaosong's figure gradually overlapped with the blurry shadow in his memory.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and went back to pruning the wisteria.
But the images that kept flashing through his mind made him move slowly. He was immersed in that familiar feeling and couldn't pull himself out of it.
With each cut, the sense of familiarity deepened, as if he had spent countless evenings like this on this planet, doing the same things.
"Come over for dinner."
Ji Xiaosong called out to Dai Lixing in the courtyard and then turned and left. She was going to check on Ji Sui'an, who was sleeping.
It should be about time for him to wake up and drink his milk.
Ji Xiaosong gently pushed open the bedroom door. The room was softly lit, and in the crib, Ji Suian was slightly twisting her body and making soft humming sounds.
She walked quickly to the bedside, bent down and gently picked up the child, her movements skillful and tender, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
"Little one, are you hungry?"
Ji Xiaosong murmured softly, her voice full of doting affection.
She sat in the rocking chair by the bed and handed the bottle of prepared formula to Ji Suian's lips.
The little guy immediately opened his mouth instinctively, took the nipple in his mouth tightly, and began to suckle eagerly. His little face was full of seriousness and eagerness. As he swallowed, the milk in the bottle gradually decreased.
Looking at her son's adorable appearance, Ji Xiaosong's lips unconsciously turned up, her eyes filled with maternal radiance.
At this moment, Dai Lixing heard Ji Xiaosong's shouts outside the courtyard and was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He put down his trimming tools, brushed the debris off his clothes, and strode into the house.
As he reached the door, he subconsciously straightened his military uniform, trying to make himself look less disheveled.
As he pushed open the door, the rich aroma of food wafted out, and his gaze was instantly drawn to the scene in the bedroom.
The image of Ji Xiaosong holding her child and breastfeeding him sent a shiver down his spine.
His feet unconsciously moved towards the bedroom. He stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can I... come in and take a look?"
His voice carried a hint of caution, a stark contrast to his usual decisive and ruthless demeanor on the battlefield.
Ji Xiaosong looked up and saw Dai Lixing standing at the door. She nodded slightly to signal him to come in.
Dai Lixing entered the bedroom, his eyes never leaving Ji Sui'an.
The little guy had finished eating and was smacking his lips contentedly, looking around with his round eyes wide open.
When Dai Lixing's gaze met Ji Suian's, he felt as if he had been struck by an invisible force.
He raised his hand slightly, then stopped in mid-air, stammering, "Can...can I hug him?"
His voice carried a hint of longing that he himself was unaware of.
Ji Xiaosong looked at Dai Lixing, a hint of hesitation flashing through her mind, but seeing his nervous yet expectant expression, she nodded gently: "Be careful, he's still young."
Upon hearing this, Dai Lixing seemed to have received some rare treasure and slowly stretched out his hands.
Ji Xiaosong stood up and carefully handed Ji Suian to Dai Lixing.
Dai Lixing held the child stiffly with both hands, his body tense, and he unconsciously slowed his breathing.
Ji Suian seemed curious about this unfamiliar embrace, staring wide-eyed at Dai Lixing, her small body even twisting slightly.
The soft, squirming baby in his hands made Dai Lixing's heart leap into his throat. He lowered his head slightly to meet Ji Suian's gaze, and said in a dry voice, "Hello, little one."
The voice was so soft, as if afraid of frightening the child.
Watching Dai Lixing's clumsy yet earnest demeanor, Ji Xiaosong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You can relax a little; he's not that fragile."
Dai Lixing relaxed his muscles slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on Ji Suian, his eyes filled with increasing tenderness and curiosity.
"What's his name?"
Dai Lixing asked, his voice still gentle.
"Ji Sui'an."
Ji Xiaosong replied, her gaze also falling on the child, her eyes full of love.
Dai Lixing repeated the name: "Ji Suian...it sounds very nice."
He held the child and slowly paced around the room, his steps gentle, as if he were carefully protecting a fragile piece of porcelain.
Ji Suian seemed to gradually get used to the embrace in his arms, waving her little hands and making "ee-ya" sounds.
As Dai Lixing watched the child's every move, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and a smile he had never shown before appeared on his face.
He had just looked around and there was no trace of male life in the entire courtyard, which meant that Ji Xiaosong was likely still single.
that……
Do I have a chance?
Did she really have a relationship with him, and is she still waiting for him?
The thought of this made Dai Lixing's heart tremble slightly.
