"I'm sure. From the moment I picked her up, I was sure I want to be her mother. She's been abandoned once; I won't abandon her a second time." Yun Jinxin looked at the child in her arms and said firmly.
"Sigh, okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't say more." Sister Liu sighed and said.
That night.........
"Qingsheng, there's something I want to discuss with you." After dinner, after Yun Jinxin lulled the child to sleep, she pulled Yun Qingsheng to talk in the yard, wanting to discuss the child with him.
"Do you want to take in this child?" Before Yun Jinxin could speak, he brought up the matter first.
Seeing Yun Jinxin remain silent, he then said, "Actually, you don't need to discuss it with me at all. I agree with any decision you make. I'll always listen to you."
"No, we're a family, and our relationship is equal. For some things, I need your agreement." Yun Jinxin knew why he said this; there was a hint of helplessness in her heart.
Since that time of opening up, Yun Qingsheng had trusted her very much. But this trust carried a sense of obedience. Yun Qingsheng would never contradict her and never had any personal opinions.
She knew this was Yun Qingsheng's habit formed over hundreds of years. In the past, he was just a machine following orders and performing tasks.
What she wanted was a person, a person true to their name—with emotions, independent thinking, and self - awareness. But she never lost hope and was willing to spend the rest of her life changing him.
"Qingsheng, why don't you give the child a name?" Yun Jinxin thought it would be better for Yun Qingsheng to name the child—after all, the child was saved by Yun Qingsheng, and she also wanted to hear his opinion.
"Me? Okay, let me think." Yun Qingsheng lowered his head in thought. Yun Jinxin didn't disturb him, just watched him silently.
"Then let's call her Yun Jingzhu."
"' 静女其姝,俟我于城隅.' What a good name. How did you come up with it?" Yun Jinxin recited the name, her eyes gradually lighting up, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.
"I don't know. I just feel it suits a girl very well." Yun Qingsheng said with a smile.
"Oh, you smiled, Qingsheng. You should smile more; you look so good when you smile." Yun Jinxin said excitedly—Yun Qingsheng really smiled too little.
"By the way, Qingsheng, let's take a family photo tomorrow as a souvenir."
"Okay."
The next day, they went to take a family photo. In the photo, Yun Qingsheng smiled very happily, feeling the atmosphere was very good and warm.
In the following half a month, Yun Jinxin held the child and went to Sister Liu's house to learn—learning how to take care of the child and how to be a qualified mother.
On October 21, 1973.........
Unexpected guests came to the village that day.
They drove four dark green military jeeps, with fourteen people. They all wore light blue military uniforms. Instead of the usual military uniform insignia at the collar, there were two crossed space shuttle insignias, with the abbreviation CNSA below.
Their attire was very similar to what Yun Qingsheng wore when he first came here. They visited around the village, and Yun Jinxin naturally saw this group of people, guessing they were here for Yun Qingsheng.
She hurriedly went to the fields to find Yun Qingsheng.
"Qingsheng, come here for a moment." When Yun Jinxin saw Yun Qingsheng still working in the fields, she didn't care about anything else and pulled him away.
"Jinxin, what's the hurry?" Uncle Li saw Yun Jinxin in such a hurry and asked worriedly.
"Uncle Li, it's nothing serious. The child is crying. The child has been close to Qingsheng since she was little, so I asked Qingsheng to go home and comfort her." Yun Jinxin casually made up a reason.
After returning home, Yun Jinxin started packing things for Yun Qingsheng. Yun Qingsheng didn't understand and asked, "Jinxin, what's the matter?"
"Some people came to the village this morning. I think they're here for you. You go hide first and see what's going on. Your identity is sensitive; don't contact them directly at this time." After packing, Yun Jinxin gave him 5 yuan.
Yun Qingsheng thought for a moment.
"Okay, I understand."
Actually, Yun Jinxin's worry was reasonable. Yun Qingsheng was from another universe. There were many universes in this world, and his companions were few. Even someone as strong as Yun Qingsheng almost died. Not to mention his other companions—very few survived. And today, several came.
It was obvious these people were not Yun Qingsheng's companions. They had strong purposes and were from a government department, not an ordinary one. In the past two years, only one major event had happened in the village—the crash of Yun Qingsheng's spaceship.
"Koukou, hello, is there anyone home?"
Not long after Yun Qingsheng left, the group found Yun Jinxin's home.
When Yun Jinxin opened the door, she saw four people—one woman and three men. They all exuded an air of authority, giving people a sense of awe.
"Hello, we're from the Aerospace Bureau. I'm Lin Moyan." The man who knocked on the door introduced himself and showed his ID. The ID had two insignias—one for peace and one for a crossed space shuttle.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Yun Jinxin was very vigilant, only sticking her head out from the crack of the door, not intending to let them in.
"Can we come in and chat for a while?" Lin Moyan could see Yun Jinxin's intention but still wanted to go in and take a look.
"Comrade, don't you think it's absurd? My husband isn't home, and I have a child at home. Is it appropriate for me to open the door for several men?" Yun Jinxin didn't back down, trying to stall for time so they wouldn't find out that Yun Qingsheng had run away.
"Can I come in?" At this moment, the woman in their group spoke. This woman was very beautiful and had an air of authority.
"Yes, but only you can come in. I don't want to hear any gossip."
"Okay." The woman gave the others a look and then entered the house. The others scattered around the house to check the situation.
"Are you Yun Jinxin? Four years ago, did you take in a man named Yun Qingsheng?" The woman got straight to the point.
"Don't you think it's impolite to ask questions without introducing yourself first?" Facing the woman's dominance, Yun Jinxin didn't back down—she had seen the world before. When she was studying, she had met many children from wealthy families.
"Sorry for being abrupt. I'm Lin Moyanya, a special agent of the Aerospace Bureau. Now can you answer my question?" Lin Moyanya realized this wasn't good and apologized, continuing to ask.
Yun Jinxin didn't expect Lin Moyanya to apologize so quickly, which caught her off guard. As the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person." For a moment, she didn't know what to do and froze.
"Hurry, I was too impulsive just now. Sorry, sorry. Come, comrade, sit down. I'll make you some water. Sit down, and we'll chat slowly." Yun Jinxin 热情地 (enthusiastically) pulled Lin Moyanya to sit in the yard, then quickly ran to the kitchen to busy herself.
"What.........is this situation?" Lin Moyanya was also confused by Yun Jinxin, as if the aggressive person just now wasn't her.
After a few minutes, Yun Jinxin brought out a pot of water, 热情地 poured water for Lin Moyanya, and exchanged pleasantries.
"Okay, stop being busy. We're here because we already know everything, so don't hide anything." Lin Moyanya couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the busy Yun Jinxin.
Actually, this was just their speculation. They knew very little and just wanted to trick Yun Jinxin. After all, there were too many missing people these days, and it was normal for a village to have one or two people with unknown identities.
And the blood sample they found in that spaceship really didn't belong to humans. She said this just to test Yun Jinxin's reaction—after all, things were too coincidental. The day after the spaceship crashed, Yun Qingsheng suddenly appeared.
"Oh, you all know. Then you must be Qingsheng's relatives." When Yun Jinxin heard this, she suddenly looked shy.
"When he first came here, he told me he didn't want to go back. Over the years, we've grown affectionate, and we're already married. Oh, right, we also have a very cute child." As she spoke, there was a look of happiness in her voice.
"Jingzhu, come here. These are your father's relatives, your aunt." Before Lin Moyanya could react, Yun Jinxin ran in and led out a girl about one year old.
This series of actions really confused Lin Moyanya. She even didn't know why she was here. She asked herself three questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
"Stop it, Yun Jinxin. I don't have time to play games with you. You know our purpose and who we're looking for." Lin Moyanya couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Yun Jinxin directly.
"I know, you're here to take Qingsheng away." At this moment, Yun Jinxin was still pretending to be confused.
"Two years ago, since Yun Qingsheng came to this village, we've been monitoring him. We've recorded all his superhuman behaviors. Do you think it's necessary for you to hide this?" Lin Moyanya sensed something was wrong but couldn't say what. She was still testing, still unwilling to give up—everything was too coincidental.
But in the past two years, they had indeed sent someone to monitor Yun Qingsheng 24 hours a day. As a result, they found nothing wrong. Yun Qingsheng's actions were all in line with those of a normal human.
And in today's visit, it was confirmed that Yun Qingsheng was indeed an ordinary person, but his appearance was too coincidental.
The reason they came after two years was that their team was just formed. In the past two years, they had been trying to decipher the spaceship's information and select members. Although they belonged to the Aerospace Bureau, they only took orders from the top.
They were a unit independent of all formations. CNSA was just a cover for them. The special department they belonged to was specifically established for extraterrestrial visitors, currently internally called the Ninth Bureau.
Two years ago, the crash of Yun Qingsheng's spaceship made them realize that they were not alone in this world—aliens really existed and had come to Earth. And they were all top - notch elites from various industries. Lin Moyanya was a former elite of the Navy SEALs, with excellent combat capabilities, so she became a field agent.
They completed their formation a year ago and spent the remaining year in targeted training. A month ago, they finished training. This was their first mission.
They had very high - level authority, able to bypass all local governments and report directly to the top. Similarly, their equipment was the most advanced. Their uniforms were copied from the set on Yun Qingsheng's shuttle, looking very similar but with much inferior materials.
Through the analysis of Yun Qingsheng's uniform, they developed a new material. It replicated the feel and comfort, and its safety could withstand injuries from ordinary knives, sticks, etc. Far from reaching the level of Yun Qingsheng's clothes, but even so, each set cost hundreds of thousands.
