Nangong Yu took a deep breath to calm his heart’s rapid pace. Pulling Hexi back into his embrace, he murmured hoarsely, “Why is it still five days until the 9th of September, Xi’er? I can hardly wait any longer.”
Hexi wrapped her arms around Nangong Yu’s waist and rested her head against his steadily beating heart, whispering, “Nangong Yu, have I ever told you that meeting you is the greatest fortune I’ve had in this world?”
With his eyes shining brilliantly and warmly, Nangong Yu leaned down to kiss her forehead, murmuring, “The feeling is mutual.”
Hexi suddenly recalled their first encounter, when Nangong Yu had also snuck into her room at night. Back then, they were both wary of each other, strangers and distant. But now, they were about to become the closest people in the world to each other, inseparable for life.
Life truly worked in mysterious ways.

To Hexi’s surprise, the object seemed to emerge directly from the flesh and blood of Nangong Yu’s palm.
From its appearance, it looks like a seed with a green outer layer.
“What is this?” Hexi asked in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu shook his head, “I don’t know either. When my mother was still alive, she told me that two strange things happened when I was born. One was that the bright day suddenly turned into night, with the sun, moon, and stars vanishing without a trace. It wasn’t an eclipse, and this phenomenon lasted for just an hour. The other was this seed, which floated out from the center of my forehead.”
Upon hearing this, Hexi couldn’t help but reach out and touch Nangong Yu’s forehead, thinking to herself: If a seed floated out when he was born, would a sprout grow from it in the future?
Noticing the amusement in Hexi’s eyes, Nangong Yu grasped her hand with a hint of exasperation.
This was the reason that Nangong Yu never wanted to say anything about it. A seed growing from his forehead was just too bizarre.
“I once tried planting this seed, but it never showed any signs of growth. Sometimes I even wonder if it’s not really a seed, but some kind of gemstone or something.”
Hexi smiled at him and asked, “Did you bring out this seed to give it to me?”
Nangong Yu leaned down to give her a gentle kiss and said matter-of-factly, “This seed grew from within me, so it’s naturally a part of my body. Hexi, all of me belongs to you. How could I not give you a part of myself?”
Hexi blushed. She playfully pushed him away. This guy is becoming so bold with his words.

He queried, “Hmm?“
Hexi turned back with a mysterious smile on her face, “I also have something for you.”
He leaned in, sniffing the seed once and then again. Suddenly, he sneezed. The creature, previously in its pink piggy form, instantly reverted to its original round shape.
Little Egg was stunned for a long time before he swung the antennae on his head and transformed himself back into a piglet.
He picked up the seed, examining it over and over. But this time, he couldn’t find any clues. Bored, he pouted and put the seed back.
Inside the treasure box, a faint purplish pattern momentarily flashed on the greenish seed’s surface, then vanished without a trace.
