"Should be about right." Qiao Qingyu was also uncertain as she spoke.

He Xiuyu thought for a moment, "This world is indeed interesting."

His hand rested on his wife’s slightly protruding belly, which he did whenever he had the time, every day.

He said, "I’m planning for Rongrong to skip a year and go to fifth grade this year."

Currently, nine years of compulsory education had not been implemented, with most areas having five years of elementary school and three years of middle school.

If this point matched the world where Qiao Qingyu lived, then nine years of compulsory education should start next year.

Rongrong was nominally nine years old this year. She would be in fourth grade in the fall.

The child was sent to school when she was seven.

But now, the elementary school curriculum seemed a bit too simple for her.

However, after consulting with He Xiuwen, He Xiuyu still let her advance year by year.

Qiao Qingyu felt very emotional about this, and in a blink of an eye, Rongrong was already nine.

Looking down at Qiao Qingyu who was lying beside him, He Xiuyu also felt emotional. They had been married for four years, and he still owed her a wedding.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a small, bundle-like thing pushing against the palm of his hand, and then, the next second, it moved to another position.

He Xiuyu sat up in surprise. It had been over four months now, and the fetus was already moving.

He Xiuyu excitedly lifted the nightgown, intending to have a closer look. Sure enough, a small, bumpy thing appeared on Qiao Qingyu’s belly, uncertain whether it was the fetus’s small foot or hand.

It looked magical.

Perhaps feeling the intense gaze of the parents, Qiao Qingyu’s belly calmed down.

Both of them watched foolishly for a long time, filled with emotion and wonder.

After a while, they lay down on the kang again, having already forgotten what they were about to say.

The night deepened, and whatever needed doing or thinking could wait for the next day. Now was the time to rest properly.

No matter whether others could rest well or not, Qiao Qingyu was truly exhausted that day, and so was He Xiuyu. In order to be back on time to accompany his wife in the evening, he sometimes had to work more than double the usual.

Bai Zhi, who stayed in the guesthouse, also slept well. Although she was full of worries, as soon as her head hit the pillow, she immediately fell into deep sleep. At this very moment, one could say that this was a region of human consciousness, or perhaps the central nervous system—anyway, it was an area currently unexplained by science, but it was completely floating in Bai Zhi’s mind.

Inside this small consciousness area, there were two light points, a larger and a smaller one.

They were conversing.

"... you also saw Yuan Hengzhi’s attitude today. If he still doesn’t agree, are we going to live here forever?"

This was what the smaller light point said.

The big light point, "This body is indeed frustrating. Its consciousness isn’t deeply asleep, half asleep and half awake, and the awake part doesn’t fuse with me properly. Honestly, Yuan Hengzhi does have a liking for Bai Zhi, but it’s unfortunate that he encounters Lan Jianqing every time. And every time he sees Lan Jianqing, this body’s gaze turns deep with affection, and Yuan Hengzhi isn’t a fool. He’s from a reconnaissance background; he can see clearly, how could he be deceived?"

The small light point, "Master, this is the maximum energy I can muster. If I completely clear the original host’s consciousness, this body will become an idiot, and you won’t be able to do anything."

"For now, let’s leave it as is. The magnetic field at Tenghai Research Base is particularly strong, which I think has been caused by Yuan Hengzhi’s arrival."

"Does he even know that he has a Space Device? We’ve followed him for so long, how have we never noticed any abnormalities?"

The big light point disdainfully said, "He is just an ordinary person. It’s already his great fortune that the Space Device fell into his hands; he still wants to use it? Dream on."

The small light point seemed to be pondering the big light point’s words, and after a while, it cautiously said, "Master, we’ve been wandering for too long. If we don’t go back soon, I’m afraid something will go wrong with me."

"Don’t worry, before you have any problems, we will take back the Space Device and leave immediately."

The small light point, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Master, if you’re sure the Space Device is on Yuan Hengzhi, can’t we think of some other methods? Why must Bai Zhi marry him?"

The big light point looked at the small light point as if it were an idiot, "Why are you talking nonsense again? If there were any other way, we wouldn’t be doing this."

"But until now, he adamantly refuses to marry Bai Zhi, so we can’t do anything about it."

"There’s a saying in this inferior world, ’even a brave woman fears a persevering suitor’. On the flip side, Yuan Hengzhi will eventually marry Bai Zhi."

The small light point looked up admiringly at the big light point, "Master, you know so much."

The big light point, proud, "That’s because I’ve read so many books." Then he sighed regretfully, "If only this body weren’t the only suitable one, we would have taken back the Space Device already. Hence, we need to think of a way to make the original host’s consciousness fall asleep completely so that this body doesn’t display uncontrollable affection every time it sees that Lan fellow."

"I’ll think of something," the small light point hurriedly promised.

It circled around the small area a few times. It did not like this place either and longed to return to its own higher-dimensional world. This inferior world was too backward and not fun at all.

As Bai Zhi slept, she turned over and muttered something unconsciously. However, with the room to herself, no one knew what she was saying.

Zhang Xuanzi and Wu Hong, dusty and weary from travel, arrived in North City, which was colder than Xichuan. Fortunately’)"
