Lin Yi entrusts his staff with important tasks, and spends time with his wife Xiao Zihan and daughter Luo Ning. He reflects on his transition from ancient to modern society, and asks Xiao Zihan to accompany him to the moon base.

"There are some things that I really can’t decide on my own, and they aren’t suitable for just one person to solve.

Perhaps you don’t quite understand how it feels when the responsibility of all humankind weighs on your shoulders; it’s not something I want to do, but something I have to do out of necessity.

Like this matter about the moon base, maybe I haven’t explained it clearly to you, or perhaps I’m unable to express it well, but you must know one thing: it’s something I must do no matter what."

Holding Xiao Zihan’s hand, Lin Yi spoke these words, and upon hearing this, Xiao Zihan instantly understood something.

For a moment, Xiao Zihan felt a sharp pain in her heart, realizing she had underestimated her man.

She sensed that her man still had many words unspoken and that he was carrying an overwhelming burden.

Perhaps feeling Xiao Zihan’s heartache, Lin Yi chuckled softly, easing the discomfort:

"Haha, don’t overthink it. This may very well be a good thing for me.

There are some things I can’t tell you right now, as they concern too many matters. At the very least, I can’t tell you here.

Of course, I won’t pressure you. If you’re willing, I’ll take you along with me."

Just then, as Lin Yi finished speaking, Xiaoluo Ning, who was sitting in the baby seat in the back, suddenly babbled something.

She babbled while reaching out towards her parents in the front seat.

This instantly brought Lin Yi back to his senses. He turned to look at her, and seeing the little one’s condition, he couldn’t help but laugh:

"Don’t worry, Dad won’t leave you alone. Dad means to bring you and Mom along."

Following Lin Yi’s words, a smile finally appeared on the little one’s face.

No one knew how this little one could be so clever, being so small yet understanding words so well.

Clearly, she must have been scared by Lin Yi’s previous words.

If her parents left her, what would she do?

Xiao Zihan naturally saw this reaction, glimpsing through the rear-view mirror at her cute baby, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"You’re such a clever little one. Don’t worry, your mom and dad will never leave you."

The two chatted the whole way, but Lin Yi didn’t talk about the affairs of ancient society.

After all, no one knew if there were any eavesdropping devices in the car, even though it was produced by their own company; still, someone with ill intentions might do something unexpected.

Upon returning home, the family enjoyed a hotpot dinner and then entrusted Xiaoluo Ning to her grandparents.

Xiao Zihan didn’t need to guess what would happen next.

As expected, this rascal had no intention of letting her go.

However, she truly missed him after not seeing him for a few days.

After staying busy for most of the night, the two finally embraced each other and gazed at the stars in the sky.

"I know there are many things you can’t let us know, but remember, you’re not alone, you have us.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself; many things can’t be solved by just you.

Even though we might not be able to help much sometimes, you can talk to us; we’re excellent listeners.

Maybe saying some things out loud will make you feel lighter."

Admittedly, Xiao Zihan’s words gave Lin Yi an unprecedented feeling.

Just as Xiao Zihan said, maybe the pressure was too much, maybe the secrets were suffocating him, and while he might not show any abnormal behavior or express anything to anyone, only he could truly feel the invisible pressure.

Perhaps others only saw his glorious self, but the burden of carrying all of human civilization was not something an ordinary person could endure.

At this moment, hearing Xiao Zihan’s words, Lin Yi felt like he’d found a harbor to rely on, burying his head in her embrace.

Listening to Xiao Zihan’s comforting whispers.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an hour, Xiao Zihan looked down to find Lin Yi had fallen asleep at some point.

Looking at Lin Yi’s handsome profile, Xiao Zihan’s heart ached even more.

She wished to help him shoulder some burdens, but she knew that Lin Yi kept certain things from her to prevent her from worrying.

Moreover, she was aware that it must be something she couldn’t resolve.

Gently she brushed Lin Yi’s cheek:

"I’ll come with you to the moon this time."

Even though she knew Lin Yi was already asleep and wouldn’t hear her words, she still said them, holding Lin Yi gently as the two drifted into sleep.

When Lin Yi woke up early the next morning, he found Xiao Zihan hadn’t left but was still holding him.
