January 1, 2023.

Imperial Capital.

Ji Family Villa District.

Su Wen went to bed early last night, resting by ten o'clock.

When she woke up at six in the morning, the outside was already covered in snow.

The flowers and trees, the stone steps and paths, all were draped in a layer of glistening white.

Soft and gentle, like the clouds gently rolling in the sky.

The first snowfall of the new year also brought the revival of all things.

Su Wen drew open the curtains and went to pick two flowers from the garden to place them in a vase in the living room.

"Mom." Ying Zijin came down from upstairs at this moment, hugging her. "How did you sleep last night?"

"You've been nurturing my body continually and used a lot of medicine; I didn't even get up at night yesterday." Su Wen patted her head, "I feel my health is even better than twenty years ago. However, I've been having palpitations while sleeping recently, waking up from fright often. I've been worried something might happen to you."

These days, her heartbeat had been very fast, especially when the City of the World suddenly appeared over the Seven Continents and Four Oceans.

Ying Zijin leaned against her shoulder, lazily saying, "See, I'm perfectly fine. You should watch fewer horror movies."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to Yaoyao; I won't watch them anymore." Su Wen chuckled, then thought for a moment. "But last night, I seemed to hear some noise, like an explosion. I thought I was dreaming, so I didn't pay much attention."

"It probably wasn't a dream; something major indeed happened last night."

A gentle voice spoke up.

The door opened, and Wen Fengmian returned from his morning jog.

He was holding a newspaper in his hand.

Following him was Fu Yunshen, carrying some dumplings he had bought from Dong Street, waving to the girl, "Yaoyao, come over, eat while it's hot."

Ying Zijin walked over, "How long did you wait in line?"

The dumpling shop in the Imperial Capital opens at five every day, with people lining up as early as 3:30 AM.

She had only eaten there once before because she was always so busy.

"Not long," Fu Yunshen naturally responded as he took her hand, sitting with her on the sofa, "Just an hour; if you want more, I'll go buy them tomorrow."

Ying Zijin took a bite of the dumpling, feeling its warmth in her hand, still a bit dazed.

They had survived a disaster of an apocalyptic level, and now it was peaceful domestic life.

She could sit here eating dumplings or go shopping on the pedestrian street.

Without worrying about other troublesome things,

Fu Yunshen tilted his head and pinched her cheek, "What are you thinking about?"

Ying Zijin curled up comfortably in his arms, listening to his steady, strong heartbeat, lazily, "Thinking about the retirement life I've been longing for can finally begin."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen drawled, "Miss Ying, no retirement."

Ying Zijin looked up, her eyes narrowing slightly, "What do you mean?"

This man, planning to disturb her retirement?

Fu Yunshen had no psychological burden, "Take care of me."

"..."

Still so cheeky.

Ying Zijin glanced at him, "No, you take care of me, I don't want to move."

"Sure, I'll take care of you." Fu Yunshen lowered his head again, kissed her lips, gently biting them before releasing her, "I can handle everything else, but I can't write your thesis."

Ying Zijin remained expressionless.

Why does the existence of thesis papers even exist in this world?

"Did an asteroid hit Earth yesterday?" Luyan also came downstairs, taking the morning paper from Wen Fengmian, slightly surprised, "Passed just 1 km from Earth's orbit?"

This distance was alarmingly close.

Any closer, and the energy generated by the asteroid's friction with the atmosphere during its flight would have dealt a significant blow to Earth.

Moreover, the report emphasized this distance was precisely 1 km without the slightest variation.

It was as accurate as if deliberately calculated.

Even scientists who always uphold science referred to this near-miss asteroid as a miracle.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen lowered his head, looking at the girl in his arms, lazily raising an eyebrow, "Little one, OCD?"

Ying Zijin propped her chin, yawning, "A little."

For someone like her from the Sage World, stopping an apocalyptic-level disaster wasn't difficult.

When she regained her heart, her will had already become one with this world.

So, when the asteroid approached, all she needed to do was temporarily alter Earth's trajectory to avoid it.

That disaster ended just like that.

To her, it was just a matter of a single thought.

"See, you really slept soundly." After reading the news, Su Wen laughed, "If the asteroid really hit, you wouldn't even know how you died."
