Chapter 221 Interstellar Wilderness Star Farmer 32
As Dai Lixing spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept over the sofa, as if that was where he should be.
This is unbelievable! How could he have such a thought?!
Seeing his expression, Ji Xiaosong recalled his past in her little house and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Marshal, I'm not really going to let you sleep on the sofa."
She pointed to the new room next to the master bedroom, "Look, that room is the one I prepared for Sui An. Since you want to stay and protect us, you can stay there for now."
Upon hearing this, Dai Lixing's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the room Ji Xiaosong pointed to with disbelief, his gaze lingering on the tightly closed door for a long time.
"Is it really possible?"
He heard his own voice tremble slightly.
Does Ji Xiaosong's agreement to let him stay in Ji Sui'an's room mean that she is willing to give him a chance to get to know her?
He was a little apprehensive when I asked him to stay and prune the wisteria.
But now that they've agreed to let him sleep here, their purpose is self-evident.
As an interstellar marshal, he commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield and was always decisive and confident, but now, standing in front of Ji Xiaosong, he looked like a helpless teenager.
His gaze fell on Ji Xiaosong's face again, trying to find a hint of a joke in her expression, but what he saw was only her usual calm yet aloof expression.
Dai Lixing clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his palms. He tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, afraid that he might accidentally reveal his joy and anticipation.
"Then... thank you very much."
He spoke with difficulty, his voice as dry as the wind in the desert.
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized with a start that he couldn't even utter a complete and proper thank you, and a wave of annoyance washed over him.
Ji Xiaosong felt a ripple in her heart as she looked at his tense yet trying-to-remain calm appearance.
That once spirited and powerful man, who dominated the galaxy, was now so cautious in front of her.
She turned her head slightly to hide the fleeting smile in her eyes and said, "It's getting late. You've traveled a long way here, so you should get some rest."
After saying that, she picked up Ji Sui'an from the crib and turned to walk towards the master bedroom.
As Dai Lixing watched Ji Xiaosong's departing figure, his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move for a long time.
Only after the master bedroom door closed gently did he awaken as if from a dream, and slowly walk towards the room prepared for him.
Pushing open the door, the room was filled with a faint milky fragrance, mixed with a unique scent belonging to Ji Xiaosong—a warm yet unfamiliar aroma that instantly enveloped him.
He went into the room, sat gently on the edge of the bed, covered his face with his hands, and tried to calm his frantic heartbeat.
He kept telling himself that this was just a temporary place to stay, but deep down he secretly hoped that he could stay here longer and get closer to Ji Xiaosong and Ji Suian.
Even though he knew that Ji Xiaosong might be hiding countless secrets in her heart, and might still be wary of him, he was still willing to succumb to her charms and humble himself to the dust for this inexplicable sense of closeness.
In the quiet night, Dai Lixing lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts drifting away, his mind filled with images of Ji Xiaosong and Ji Suian, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The next morning, Dai Lixing got up early, while Ji Xiaosong and Ji Suian were still asleep.
Ji Sui'an is still a baby who is just over a month old and sleeps a lot.
To take care of him, Ji Xiaosong's sleep schedule was almost synchronized with Ji Sui'an's.
After Dai Lixing strolled around the vegetable garden and handled a few meetings, Ji Xiaosong finally carried Ji Suian out of the master bedroom.
He heard the door to the master bedroom open, quickly looked up, and fixed his gaze on Ji Xiaosong and Ji Suian.
The moment he saw the mother and son, the corners of his lips involuntarily turned up, revealing a gentle and somewhat indulgent smile, a smile that seemed to dispel the morning mist and brighten the entire courtyard.
Good morning, you're all up now.
As Dai Lixing spoke, he quickly walked to Ji Xiaosong's side, his eyes never leaving Ji Sui'an.
The little guy was waving his little hands and making "ee-ya" sounds, as if he was greeting Dai Lixing.
Dai Lixing looked at Ji Suian with eyes full of affection, and gently touched Ji Suian's little hand with his finger, making the little girl giggle.
"I picked some fruit and vegetables from the garden, washed them, and put them in the kitchen."
Dai Lixing scratched his head, looking a little flustered. "Uh... I'm not very good at cooking, so I thought I'd prepare these first to see if they could be of any help. Miss Ji, if you don't mind, could you teach me how to cook? I'd also like to learn how to cook something for you."
As he finished speaking, his voice lowered, carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
Ji Xiaosong was slightly taken aback. Looking at Dai Lixing's serious and nervous appearance, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
She never imagined that a dignified interstellar marshal would be so helpless because he couldn't cook.
She coughed lightly to conceal her inner turmoil and said, "Cooking isn't difficult, and I can teach you. However, Marshal, you're so busy with state affairs, are you sure you have time to learn this?"
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of teasing.
Dai Lixing nodded quickly, his tone firm: "As long as it's for you, I will definitely make time."
As soon as I said that, I felt like a lecherous man and felt a little annoyed.
But Ji Xiaosong didn't seem to mind. She carried Ji Suian into the kitchen, with Dai Lixing following closely behind.
Ji Xiaosong placed Ji Sui'an on the baby chair next to her, turned around, picked up a fruit, and began to explain the cleaning and processing steps to Dai Lixing.
Dai Lixing listened very attentively, his eyes fixed on Ji Xiaosong's every move, occasionally asking a few questions.
During this process, the two were very close, and Dai Lixing could even smell the faint fragrance on Ji Xiaosong's body. His heart began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably again.
Ji Xiaosong occasionally looked up and met Dai Lixing's focused yet somewhat nervous gaze. She turned her head slightly away, secretly sighing in her heart that this man who could command the winds and rains in the interstellar space was now like a child longing for recognition by her side.
Dai Lixing was completely unaware of all of this.
He had thought it over seriously last night, and he really liked Ji Xiaosong after meeting her this time.
He liked her so much that he was willing to accept it even if Ji Xiaosong's child wasn't his.
if only……
As long as Ji Xiaosong is willing to accept him.
But is Ji Sui'an really not her own child?
For some reason, the more Dai Lixing looked at the child, the greater his doubts became.
