Su Jinyan pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, you did make a mistake."

“I’ve read your experimental logs, and you consider them to be failures.”

"You wrote in your lab log that the procedure for handling failed experiments was: collect them all and wait for destruction or storage, is that correct?"

Ruan Mei pursed her lips and remained silent.

Su Jinyan gazed into Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes: "Ruan Mei, tell me."

"Your initial plan was to destroy them, so why did you hesitate?"

Ruan Mei slowly said, "That's right. Judging from the experimental results, they are all failures and cannot be called geniuses."

"I did consider destroying them, but just as I was about to take action..."

"It gently grabbed my sleeve, its eyes filled with tears, and called out to me in a trembling voice, 'Mom.'"

Su Jinyan: "..."

Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes remained calm: "That was the first time I felt helpless and confused."

"I don't know how to respond to its feelings."

"Friendship, family, love... I can't understand these emotions, and I don't know how to deal with them..."

"At that moment, I suddenly realized that perhaps leaving them behind on the space station was the best option."

Su Jinyan expressed his understanding. Although he did not understand scientific research or the creation of life, it was normal for Ruan Mei to be soft-hearted because the cat cakes were so cute.

At least the adorable cats never caused any trouble for the space station; they just hoped that their creator, Ruan Mei, would come back and take a look at them.

That way, the cat cakes will be satisfied.

Su Jinyan pondered and said, "Ruan Mei, I think perhaps I can help you understand what 'love' is."

Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "You're not referring to 'motherly love,' are you?"

Su Jinyan's eyes were deep: "Xing'ai."

Ruan Mei: "......"

She thought she had reached the second level, while Su Jinyan was on the first level, but she didn't expect Su Jinyan's thoughts to have drifted directly to the atmosphere.

Are you the messenger of reproduction or the messenger of pleasure?

It's not the season for everything to come back to life, so why am I thinking about something so bitter?

Fortunately, Ruan Mei had a plan. She had hidden a slice of herself in the mirror and instructed her to try to meet any of Su Jinyan's requests.

Su Jinyan said earnestly, "Ruan Mei, you are an expert in the field of life sciences."

"You can't deny that this kind of love is also a part of human love, right?"

Ruan Mei remained calm and said softly, "Darling, I have never been exposed to this."

"You're right, it's an indispensable part of human reproduction."

"It's great; its significance lies in reproduction and procreation, pleasure and enjoyment, and enhancing understanding with one's partner..."

"But our main topic today should be how to study the mysteries of the Void Star God, right?"

Admittedly, Ruan Mei had not personally experienced it.

However, in the field of life sciences, Ruan Mei's extensive knowledge is enough to completely overwhelm Su Jinyan.

Watching him talk eloquently in front of her, discussing human reproduction and so on, Ruan Mei felt a strange urge to laugh.

If I were to give you a grade, darling, you would only get a failing grade.

Su Jinyan nodded and said, "Of course, I'm just reminding you so you can be mentally prepared."

Ruan Mei said softly, "I understand. This is the necessary price to pay for studying the Star God."

“If I didn’t even have the spirit to dedicate myself to science, I wouldn’t have invited you here.”

“Darling, wait here for a moment, I’ll go and get that strange object.”

Ruan Mei slowly got up, turned around and walked into the cubicle.

She touched the cold mirror, and Ruan Mei's image appeared in the mirror. It was also Ruan Mei, just as beautiful and elegant as her.

"Darling, please take over the research for me from now on."

"After going through so much, I'm a bit tired and need to rest."

Ruan Mei stepped into the mirror and exchanged places with her reflection.

When the plum blossoms were about to fade but hadn't yet withered, she liked to preserve that moment and keep it with her.

Many years have passed, and noisy, sweet, and all sorts of lives have been born under her care, but the plum blossoms still wither as scheduled.

Many years have passed, and her face in the mirror remains unchanged, but on a cosmic scale, can she only remain alive for a fleeting moment?

Ruan Mei worries that one day she will pass away and grow old.

Therefore, Ruan Mei captured her most beautiful moment in a slice and preserved it in the mirror; the Ruan Mei in the mirror is the same person as her.

Once the research is complete, the Ruan Mei in the mirror will come here and awaken the real Ruan Mei from the mirror.

Friendship, family, and love are all fleeting to Ruan Mei. Since they are destined to dissipate, why cling to them?

......

After a while.

Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes remained calm as she pushed open the door to the cubicle and walked out.

"I'm sorry, darling, for keeping you waiting."

Su Jinyan instinctively sensed that Ruan Mei was somewhat different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

If I had to say something, it would be that Ruan Mei looked even more beautiful when she came out of the cubicle.

Like an ethereal fairy untouched by worldly concerns, her otherworldly elegance makes one want to defile her and dye her white.

Ruan Mei picked up a vial of pink, bubbling medicine and walked up to Su Jinyan.

"Darling, may you drink this to make the research easier later on?"

Although he was a bountiful messenger blessed by the Compassionate Medicine King, he was not afraid of ordinary poisons or death.

But this is medicine given by Ruan Mei, so who knows if it has any strange or unusual effects?

Just to be on the safe side, Su Jinyan still asked a question.

"What kind of medicine is this, and what is it used for?"

"It will develop your brain regions and allow your brain regions to connect with my instruments."

"This will allow me to more intuitively understand what you're thinking next."

Ruan Mei coaxed him in a gentle tone, as if she were a child, "Drink it for the sake of the research."

"Don't worry, its side effects are very low."

Su Jinyan's expression hardened: "Mind-reading potion? What are the side effects?"

Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "It will allow you to remain standing in the next ten systems."

Su Jinyan looked resistant: "...I don't need that kind of thing."

This has been going on for ten system times, maintaining that state all the time. If no one helps him relieve it, he can't really be allowed to have sex with the Black General, can he?

He was afraid that Ruan Mei would change her mind halfway through; who could stand ten systems?

Ruan Mei wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Jinyan's obvious resistance, she could only sigh.

"It seems you might be somewhat resistant to me reading your thoughts."

"Alright then, honey, let's try a different approach."

"When we're examining the artifact later, I'll need you to wear this bracelet."

Ruan Mei took out a quantum bracelet and tied it to Su Jinyan's wrist.

"This is the meta-domain deep-sea diving device invented by Sisikar, and I made some modifications to it."

"Next, your neural signals will be synchronized to the consciousness network."

"If you encounter danger, I can detect the signal fluctuations immediately and terminate the experiment before the danger arrives."

Su Jinyan scoffed: "It's just the Black General Fiji Cup, is it really necessary to take it so seriously?"

Ruan Mei's pretty face was solemn; this was the first time Su Jinyan had ever seen such a serious expression on her face.

“My dear, although I don’t know where you got this wonder.”

"But you don't seem to understand the danger of nothingness."

"Even beings like you and me, if we inadvertently step into the shadow of nothingness IX, will lose the meaning of our existence."

Su Jinyan couldn't help but ask, "What will happen then?"

Ruan Mei replied, "If you inadvertently step into the shadow of nothingness, the best outcome might be losing your memory, losing your senses, or having your feelings of pleasure and pain reversed..."

Su Jinyan asked, "And what about the worst-case scenario?"

Ruan Mei frowned and said, "The nebula where the Black Tower Space Station is located will all turn into nothingness."
