Chapter 326

Plan B is to carry the seed of humanity to a habitable planet and give birth to a new human race.

Plan A looks great on paper, but the space station is too large to launch from Earth and reach escape velocity.

A brand-new anti-gravity engine would be required to make it work.

Choosing Plan B means abandoning everyone on Earth and letting them perish.

On top of that, an exoplanet with a signal isn't necessarily fit for human survival,

and humanity's last sliver of hope would most likely vanish into total extinction.

After returning home and talking it over with his father-in-law, Shen Yue decided to accept the CNSA's invitation and help humanity explore the stars!

Before setting off, his daughter Shen Mofei was deeply saddened, hoping her father would stay.

Because this parting might be a few years, or it might be a lifetime.

Don't be fooled by Liu Liu Tianxian's usual airheaded look—she really does have a certain amount of acting skill.

With the special effects and her own performance combined, Liu Liu Tianxian looked exactly like a high-school girl throwing a tantrum in bed, with zero sense of awkwardness.

In the film, Shen Yue hugged her from behind, hoping she would forgive him for leaving.

Liu Liu Tianxian suddenly recalled the feeling of Xu Can hugging her from behind—solid and warm.

Honestly, ever since *Interstellar* wrapped, she could dream of that feeling every night.

The man beside her was already impossible to shake from her mind.

Liu Liu Tianxian couldn't help glancing at Xu Can, only to unexpectedly meet Xu Can's gaze head-on.

He seemed to see right through her own idea, making Liu Liu Tianxian quickly turn her head to hide it, her heart pounding faster.

Who would have thought Xu Can would actually reach over and brush her cheek with his long, slender fingers.

"What's wrong with your face? It's a little hot—do you have a fever?"

Liu Liu Tianxian shivered all over.

"N-no, I'm watching your movie!"

"If you're not feeling well, I can take you home to rest."

Xu Can even leaned close to Liu Liu Tianxian's ear and spoke in a low, magnetic voice.

That tingling, numbing sensation shot straight to the top of Liu Liu Tianxian's head.

She pressed her knees together, feeling her entire body go weak.

"Devil—this guy must be the devil!"

The usually cool and aloof "Fairy Sister" was breached by Xu Can in just two moves,

and Liu Liu Tianxian felt that if he were to do something to her right now, she probably wouldn't even have the strength to resist.

"Don't be like this, don't do it here… I'm fine."

Liu Liu Tianxian murmured in a tender voice.

"Oh, that's good then. Watch the movie properly."

Xu Can actually suddenly turned his head and retreated without mercy.

It left Liu Liu Tianxian itching with longing, terribly uncomfortable.

Seeing the little girl fidgeting beside him, Xu Can couldn't help but smirk wickedly inside.

The same trick works on Widow, and on Liu Liu Tianxian it's devastatingly effective!

By then, they'll probably have to beg him to make a move.

On the other side, Gao Yuanyuan noticed the two interacting again and simply couldn't stand it.

Jealousy flared up.

Clearly, during those days of filming on set, she was the one who took the initiative to find Xu Can every day, the one who kept him company.

Liu Liu Tianxian only knew how to space out, only knew how to sit off to the side and play.

Why on earth would Xu Can go after her instead of her?

Wasn't she pretty enough?

Since Xu Can liked playing thrilling games in the movie theater, then she'd just give him a real thrill.

Gao Yuanyuan gently bit her lip, hesitated for a long while, and finally made up her mind.

After teasing Liu Liu Tianxian for a while, making her blush to the ears, Xu Can stopped abruptly, saving the fun for next time.

Just as he was about to continue watching the movie, Xu Can suddenly felt someone touch his calf.

He looked down—good lord!

Gao Yuanyuan had somehow taken off her high heels at some point,

and in her stockings she was lightly brushing against him. Seeing Xu Can unmoved, her next move was even bolder.

She actually reached over and touched Xu Can's leg.

Xu Can pretended not to feel it, staring at the screen with perfect composure, and didn't stop Gao Yuanyuan—wanting to see just how far she'd go.

After all… he wasn't the one losing out.

Seeing Xu Can still as steady as a meditating monk, as if completely oblivious to her charm,

it really started to get to her.

Soon, Gao Yuanyuan gradually explored closer, and finally grasped the future.

"WTF?"

Xu Can froze.

"This is a movie theater, sis!"

Xu Can received a certain stimulus and underwent a certain change.

But considering there were surveillance cameras in the theater, in the dark they could easily capture any movement in the audience.

If they made too big a move, they would definitely be noticed.

Xu Can quickly stopped Gao Yuanyuan from seizing the future, grabbed her soft little hand, and warned her with a sharp, fierce look.

This is no place for Hu Nao—if you want to fool around, you can go to my house!

As a result, Gao Yuanyuan turned her hand and gripped Xu Can's, quite skillfully interlocking her fingers with his.

"You…"

"Hmph!"

Gao Yuanyuan figured she'd thrown caution to the wind; since she'd chosen to take the initiative, she might as well go all the way.

Like a victorious general, she lifted her little chin and shot Xu Can a smug sidelong glance.

There were too many people around, and Gao Yuanyuan's interlocked grip was too tight, so Xu Can had no choice but to hold hands with her.

Sensing the movement, Liu Liu Tianxian cast a suspicious glance to the side, but couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing.

Could it be that this guy wasn't done flirting with her, and now wanted to flirt with Sister Yuanyuan too?

Liu Liu Tianxian grabbed Xu Can's hand and pinched the back of it hard as a warning.

Unfortunately, Liu Liu Tianxian's strength was too small; against Xu Can's tough skin she couldn't break through his defense, and instead it just tickled him.

Xu Can turned his hand and caught hold of Liu Liu Tianxian's little hand.

And so, holding one in each hand, he led them both by the hand and continued watching the movie.

……

In the movie, Liu Liu Tianxian was crying her eyes out.

Under Xu Can's coaching, her performance exploded with an unprecedented emotional power.

She had almost caught up to the original little girl, Makenzie Foy.

Except that Liu Liu Tianxian was an adult, while Makenzie Foy was still a post-2000 generation kid—she had been only thirteen when filming.

One had to admit the girl's talent was truly high; aside from her good looks, Liu Liu Tianxian's acting skills were slightly lacking.

Being able to explode with such emotional power relied entirely on Xu Can walking her through the scene hand in hand.

On the silver screen, the emotional completion was still quite high.

The scene of the daughter being unable to bear her father's departure moved every single audience member, 【】

and some female viewers with a low tear threshold had already started sobbing and wiping their tears.

If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last time father and daughter ever met in this life!

The departing Shen Yue was equally distressed,

Xu Can's acting was clearly more than enough to crush Liu Liu Tianxian.

His eyes brimmed with hot tears, his heart full of reluctance, yet bearing humanity's hope on his shoulders, he had no choice but to set out for the stars.

This kind of complex emotion on Xu Can's face was simply utterly natural,
