Lin Han stopped in his tracks. He hesitated for a moment, "But now..."

There was nothing to see now.

And Lin Han had seen the unchanging starry sky more than once.

Instead of answering directly, He YunTing asked him an unrelated question, "Have you ever heard of the Erinnerung Nebula?" 1

Lin Han recalled, "I think I have, but I don't remember much."

"That's a spectacle you can only see from the border area." He YunTing also looked out of the porthole and saw a dark sky, "We're still traveling through the star path, so we can't see it."

Lin Han hummed, then heard He YunTing say, "I've seen it twice before. If it appears this time, I would like to show it to Mr. Lin."

Lin Han felt that after that birthday, He YunTing gradually talked with him more and more. He started to verbalize what was on his mind, although it was still very stiff.

Probably because he saw that Lin Han kept looking out of the porthole window all day, He YunTing explained, "You can't see it on the first day. Tomorrow, after the successful leap of the warship, Mr. Lin will be able to see it."

Lin Han didn't expect to be observed by He YunTing, but still nodded his head.

Curiosity and eagerness, he felt both.

He knew his physique, and he also knew that his second gender wasn't destined to navigate the wide galaxy. So he just couldn't help but want to see those distant celestial bodies and nebulae, with romantic and lonely planets.

"Mr. Lin, will you follow me?" He YunTing asked, respectfully giving Lin Han the right to choose.

If he didn't want to, he could go back to his cabin now.

Lin Han followed He YunTing all the way up, arriving at a modest room.

"This was used for observation before," He YunTing explained, "but then the warship was upgraded and many functions were combined together, so there was no need for dedicated personnel to come here for observation, so it was left unused."

Lin Han took a few steps and looked around the room.

"But if one wants to stargaze, this is one of the best observation platforms." He YunTing said.

There was no need to put on a spacesuit or turn into an astronaut.

In this quiet corner, it was possible to maximize contact with space.

"I was in this same room when I first saw the Erinnerung Nebula. I was already on my return trip at that time, and only had time to see a side view, which I still regret when I think about it."

Lin Han asked curiously, "Why do you regret it? Didn't you see it again later?"

He YunTing was noncommittal, "The Erinnerung Nebula is a unique spectacle each time. But I don't know when I can encounter it — maybe the day we arrive at the border area. Maybe I'd like to invite Mr. Lin along, if you're willing."

He YunTing's words were very straightforward at times, and even though he knew he didn't mean anything else now, Lin Han couldn't help but breathe a little faster, "Sure."

"Then I'll wait for you here tomorrow night. Don't tell the others."

The battleship leap went better than expected.

The next day everyone started to adapt to the life of the battleship. Wen TianYao seemed to be a little dizzy, so he didn't leave the room all day, but he fortunately brought a doctor along, who went in and said there was no serious illness.
