Gu Jue saw how much his cute wife liked it, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but want to curve upward.

Emotions between people in love can be contagious.

Although he felt buoyant, Commander Gu’s tone remained as calm as usual.

"This is a kind of cosmic material; it usually exists in a free state, but every once in a while, it changes its trajectory, causing collisions that create this phenomenon," he explained.

Su Wan: "It’s really too beautiful!"

This was entirely like a grand fireworks display!

And moreover, one that unfurled within the universe!

Gu Jue: "If you like it, I’ll bring you to see it again next time."

Su Wan: "Really? That’s great!"

Although Su Wan was a very rational and insightful person, she too could be moved by such a stunning and brilliant scene.

Even though Commander Gu could be clueless about romance at times,

Su Wan could feel that he was making an effort, trying to make her happy.

She turned around to face the still-serious commander and said, "Lower your head a bit."

The man was already too tall, and she wasn’t wearing high heels today.

Also, her physical condition didn’t make it convenient.

Gu Jue, not understanding what his cute wife intended to do, nonetheless bowed his head as told.

Su Wan tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

0.1 seconds later, Commander Gu responded warmly.

The loving embrace of the two, with the vast windows behind them,

and outside the windows, the ’fireworks’ shone splendidly in the vast universe.

Eric quietly closed the door for them before stepping out.

With a nutrient tube in his mouth, he walked over to Li Rui, who was operating the spaceship.

"Li Rui, have you ever thought about getting a wife?" he asked.

"No."

Eric sat on the chair, reclining it, and placed his hands behind his head while gazing at the spectacular view outside.

"I’m thinking about getting a wife. It seems like marriage can be quite blissful."

Li Rui looked at him speechlessly, "This wife of yours, if you get it right, it’s happiness. If you get it wrong, it’s a disaster."

Before meeting someone they truly fancy, these beastmen with excellent genes

either follow their family’s arrangement to enter a marital alliance with another family, marrying a stranger for a wife.

That is purely for the continuation of excellent genes.

Or stay single and be an outstanding interstellar warrior.

Of course, Li Rui chose the latter.

But Eric didn’t think the same way; look how happy Commander Gu and his wife are.

He too wanted to get married.

Eric had had quite a few girlfriends, but none seemed to give him the feeling of wanting to marry.

In the end, he decided to scroll through his contacts to see which ex-girlfriend was the most suitable for marriage!

Then, Eric scrolled down and, sadly discovered,

all the decent ex-girlfriends were already in a married status?

O(╥﹏╥)o

The universal fireworks lasted a long time, and eventually, Su Wan fell asleep nestled in Gu Jue’s arms.

When the spaceship returned to the port, Gu Jue wrapped his wife in his coat and cradled her carefully in his arms as he boarded the flyer.

Then, riding the flyer, they returned to the Commander’s mansion.

As Gu Jue placed his cute wife on the bed, Su Wan’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and she slowly awakened.

Gu Jue: "Did I wake you?"

Su Wan shook her head, rubbing her eyes and looking around.

"We’re home?" she asked.

"Yes, want to sleep a bit more?"

Su Wan nodded.

She was still sleepy.

Yawning beautifully, her eyes misted with drowsiness, Su Wan lifted her head.

Suddenly, she said: "Ajue, I really like you so much."

The stern Commander froze for a moment.

Then his eyes grew even more tender.

"I do too."

I like you too.

I’ve liked you for a very long time...

School started.

The Empire University was bustling with activity.

The teachers and administrative staff stood in front of the huge glass windows, watching the students’ youthful faces.

Anatomy teacher Lan Yu flicked her long hair.

"I really miss it; I haven’t seen their little faces turn red from vomiting in a long time."

Mecha instructor Andrew was somewhat speechless, "Are all from the Mermaid Clan as heavy-tasted as you?"

Lan Yu smiled gently, "Not really, I just have more personality. Oh right, I heard that among the exchange students this time, there’s a child from the Mermaid Planet?"

The gaze of several teachers fell on Director Gu Lei.

Gu Lei picked up his cup of water and took a sip.

"There will be a total of ten students from other planets coming to Empire University as exchange students for half a term. This event is meant to foster friendly relations between the planets. However, there are details everyone should be aware of; it’s not out of the question that among them there are spies. This is something His Majesty and the Commander specifically instructed."

The teachers all nodded solemnly.

These planets maintain friendly relations with their Federal Empire.

But it cannot be ruled out that Star Thieves have already infiltrated their planets.

It wasn’t until those ten exchange students arrived at Empire University and were distributed to their respective majors that the university’s students found out about the arrangement.

Su Wan knew about it earlier than they did.

She even knew that the Mermaid Princess Lan Rui indeed came.

However, Gu Zilan had already mentioned that the Mermaid Princess was going to marry an outstanding single young man from a branch of the Gu Family.

So, for the time being, she would give this princess a chance.

But that didn’t mean Su Wan would completely relax her guard.

Since she was close to giving birth, Su Wan was granted special permission not to participate in physical training.

While others were running and doing body strengthening exercises.

Su Wan leisurely strolled around the edge of the playground.

She saw another pregnant woman, who, like herself, was also walking.

The short-haired girl who had severe morning sickness during their military training together.

But she did not see the other girl with curly hair.

The short-haired girl said, "She gave birth a few days ago; it might be some time before she can come to school. Are you about to give birth too?"

Su Wan nodded.

The gestation period for Beastman babies is not fixed.

Only after regular check-ups can the specific due date be determined.

The day before yesterday, Ouyang Qing checked her body and said the due date was next Monday.

So it seemed that there was less than a week left.

It was at that time the short-haired girl curiously asked, "What are those people doing?"

Su Wan looked up.

The group of young people appeared to be around twenty years old.

Their appearance and attire indicated they were not from the Federal Empire.

Some had slightly upturned chins as if they were haughty peacocks.

Others looked around with bright eyes, clearly very curious about their surroundings.

And then there was one... looking at Su Wan!

With blue hair and affectionate peach blossom eyes, it was the same man who had tried to chat with Su Wan on N69 Planet. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Later, at the underground fighting arena, he had been embarrassed and left in a hurry because he didn’t have enough money.

The man looked at Su Wan in amazement... and her belly!

This gaze was somewhat rude and displeasing.

Su Wan ignored him, her gaze shifting past the young man to land directly on the beautiful girl with blue hair beside him.

That was the Mermaid Princess from the Mermaid Planet, Lan Rui.
