My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1340 Maintenance
Hold Ling Xue's hand tightly.

In the prosperous Qingping Town, the streets are crowded with cars and people. Zhou Xing, a well-known constable, is wearing a navy blue constable uniform and a long sword on his waist, moving among the crowd. He has an upright posture, a stern face, and sharp eyes like an eagle. He always pays attention to the surrounding movements and maintains the law and order of the town.

One day, Zhou Xing was patrolling in the town as usual, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the market. He hurried over and saw a group of people gathered together, talking about it. It turned out that in front of a jewelry stall, a young woman was accusing the stall owner of selling inferior goods as good ones and using fake jade pendants to deceive customers. The woman was wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a spirit between her eyebrows. Zhou Xing squeezed into the crowd and saw that the woman was holding a jade pendant in her hand. The stall owner was full of disdain and insisted that his goods were all genuine. Zhou Xing took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. With years of experience, he found that there was indeed a problem with the jade pendant. Just as he was about to open his mouth to mediate, the woman suddenly made a move and pressed the stall owner's acupoints with lightning speed, and then said coldly: "Humph, you profiteer, I will teach you a lesson today." Zhou Xing was shocked. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman had such high martial arts skills. Before he could react, the woman turned and left, leaving Zhou Xing with a confused look on his face and the stall owner collapsed on the ground.

Zhou Xing was full of curiosity about the woman and decided to follow her secretly. After tracking her all the way, the woman came to a quiet valley outside the town. The valley was shaded by green trees and colorful flowers, and an elegant courtyard could be seen faintly. The woman walked into the courtyard lightly. Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to follow her. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he was stopped by a group of guards. Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the woman came out and saw Zhou Xing, and was slightly startled: "Why are you following me?" Zhou Xing hurriedly saluted, stating his identity and purpose, and said that he just wanted to find out why she did that at the market. The woman chuckled: "My name is Ling Xue, the stall owner is a bully, who often cheats people with fake jewelry, I just can't stand it." Zhou Xing suddenly realized and admired Ling Xue.

In this way, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue met. In the days that followed, they often played together in Qingping Town. Zhou Xing would tell Ling Xue about the various interesting things he encountered when he was a constable, and Ling Xue would play some beautiful music on the piano. The two got along very well. However, the peaceful days did not last long.

One day, Mr. Li, a wealthy businessman in Qingping Town, came to report that his family's treasure, the Night Pearl, had disappeared. Mr. Li spent a lot of money to buy the Night Pearl, which was regarded as a treasure to protect the house. It was usually placed in a secret room in his home. There were multiple traps on the door of the secret room, and only a few people knew how to open it. Zhou Xing and his colleagues immediately launched an investigation, but they searched all possible places and found nothing. Just when everyone was at a loss, Ling Xue came to the government office. She expressed her willingness to help find the Night Pearl because she felt something was wrong after hearing about the case.

In the vast universe, the stars are like shining gems inlaid in the endless darkness, and countless interstellar routes crisscross, connecting various galaxies and space stations. Zhou Xing, a young and talented interstellar route surveyor, is driving his small exploration ship to explore new routes in a mysterious star field. He has an upright figure, a resolute face, deep eyes that reveal concentration and persistence, and a head of neat black short hair that is slightly fluffy in the weightless environment.

Zhou Xing's mission this time is to draw a route map to a newly discovered resource-rich planet. After weeks of arduous voyages and precise calculations, he has collected a lot of valuable data, but he is not satisfied with this and is still calibrating the last section of the route with great precision. However, a sudden cosmic storm broke the calm. Powerful energy fluctuations hit his exploration ship, various alarms whistled, and instruments flashed continuously. Although Zhou Xing tried his best to stabilize the ship, he was eventually caught in the center of the storm.

On the verge of coma, Zhou Xing felt the violent shaking and bumping of the exploration ship, and then lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space station, surrounded by simple and modern metal walls and flashing lights. He lay on a soft medical bed, weak but not seriously injured. Standing next to him was a smiling woman in a white uniform. She was Ling Xue, the cook of the space station.

Ling Xue has a sweet face, with long black hair tied into a ponytail, which sways gently with her movements. Her eyes are bright and lively, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and there is always a warm smile on the corners of her mouth. Her voice is crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell. "You finally woke up. You have been in a coma for three days and three nights. I have been watching over you for a long time." Ling Xue said softly, her eyes full of concern and relief.

Zhou Xing slowly sat up, rubbed his temples, and tried to recall what happened before. "Thank you for saving me. I'm Zhou Xing, an interstellar route surveyor. May I ask where this is?" he asked politely. Ling Xue smiled and replied, "This is the Noah Space Station, an important hub in the surrounding galaxies. You are very lucky to have been discovered in the cosmic storm and brought back here. You must be hungry now, come with me to eat something."

Zhou Xing followed Ling Xue to the restaurant of the space station. The restaurant was filled with tempting aromas, and all kinds of delicious food filled the table. Ling Xue skillfully prepared a sumptuous meal for Zhou Xing, including tender and juicy interstellar barbecue, refreshing and delicious fruit and vegetable salads, and sweet and rich nutritious soups. Zhou Xing ate with relish and praised Ling Xue's cooking skills. "These meals are so delicious, you are such an amazing cook." Zhou Xing said sincerely. Ling Xue smiled shyly: "As long as you like it, you can come to me anytime you want to eat it in the future."

In the following days, Zhou Xing gradually got familiar with Ling Xue while recuperating. They walked together in the garden of the space station, admiring all kinds of exotic interstellar flowers; sat together in front of the viewing window, looking at the vast universe and stars; and shared each other's stories and dreams. Zhou Xing told Ling Xue about his experience of interstellar exploration. Those thrilling encounters, beautiful and spectacular galaxies, and mysterious and unknown civilization relics made Ling Xue fascinated. Ling Xue told Zhou Xing about her interesting life in the space station, those lovely colleagues, interesting kitchen trivia, and her unique insights into cooking, which made Zhou Xing feel the warmth and tranquility of home.

As time went by, Zhou Xing's body gradually recovered, and it was time for him to continue his route mapping mission. However, he found that he had fallen deeply in love with Ling Xue, the beautiful and kind cook in the space station. He was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he loved the interstellar route mapping career, which was his dream and pursuit since childhood; on the other hand, he was deeply attached to and reluctant to leave Ling Xue. On a starry night, Zhou Xing brought Ling Xue to the highest point of the space station, where he could overlook the vast universe.

Zhou Xing gently held Ling Xue's hand, looked into her eyes affectionately and said, "Ling Xue, I know I am facing a difficult choice, but I don't want to leave you again. I like you, love you, and I want to be with you." Ling Xue's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. She held Zhou Xing's hand tightly and said, "I like you too, Zhou Xing. But I don't want you to give up your dreams and career. You should pursue the sea of ​​stars that belong to you." Zhou Xing held Ling Xue in his arms and said firmly, "You are the brightest star in my life. Without you, my world will lose its meaning. I am willing to find a new balance for you so that our love and career can both shine." From then on, Zhou Xing began to try to integrate Ling Xue into his work. He took Ling Xue with him to drive the exploration ship and shuttle between the stars. Ling Xue prepared delicious food for Zhou Xing on the ship and gave him gentle company and encouragement when he was tired from work. Zhou Xing taught Ling Xue to recognize various interstellar coordinates and route maps, and shared his skills and experience in the surveying process. They supported each other, learned from each other, and moved forward together on the road of love and career.

Once, they received an urgent mission to go to a distant and dangerous planet to draw a route map. The planet was shrouded in a thick fog, and according to legend, there were many unknown dangers and challenges. But in order to complete the mission, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue embarked on the journey without hesitation. As they approached the planet, they encountered many difficulties. The strong magnetic field interfered with the instruments of the exploration ship, the huge gravity made it difficult to control the ship, and the fog seemed to hide countless pairs of prying eyes, which made people shudder.

Zhou Xing calmly dealt with various crises. With his rich experience and superb skills, he tried his best to control the exploration ship to move forward in the dangerous environment. Ling Xue assisted him closely, handed him various tools and data, and comforted his nervous emotions with gentle words. With their joint efforts, they finally broke through the blockade of the fog and successfully landed on the surface of the planet.

However, this is just the beginning of the challenge. The environment on the planet's surface is extremely harsh, with steep cliffs, hot lava rivers and ferocious alien creatures everywhere. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue wore heavy protective clothing, holding advanced detection equipment, and carefully explored this strange and dangerous land. They kept encountering various emergencies, sometimes instrument failures, sometimes attacks by alien creatures, but they never gave up.

When they were attacked by a group of alien creatures, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were forced into a desperate situation. Those alien creatures were huge, strange in appearance, and exuded a terrifying aura. Their attack was very fierce, and the weapon system on the detection ship was overloaded after continuous use. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were tightly attached to each other, knowing that this might be their last time to face the test of life and death. Just when they were almost desperate, Zhou Xing suddenly thought of a way to use the magnetic field and gravity of the planet to create a protective barrier.

Zhou Xing quickly told Ling Xue about his idea, and they raced against time to act. Ling Xue assisted Zhou Xing in adjusting the parameters of the probe ship, while he concentrated on the complex calculations and operations. After some intense efforts, they successfully created a weak but solid protective barrier to resist the attack of the alien creatures. After repeated attacks without success, the alien creatures finally dispersed.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue collapsed on the ground, looking at each other, their eyes full of relief for surviving the disaster and love for each other. They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's heartbeat and body temperature. "We did it, Ling Xue." Zhou Xing said excitedly. Ling Xue nodded with tears in her eyes: "As long as you are here, I am not afraid of any danger."

After a long period of hard work, Zhou Xing finally completed the task of mapping the route of this dangerous planet. Their achievements were highly recognized and praised by the interstellar mapping organization, providing valuable information and safety guarantees for subsequent interstellar voyagers. After returning to the space station, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue became a heroic couple in everyone's mind. Their story spread among the stars, inspiring countless people to bravely pursue love and dreams.

However, they were not satisfied with this. Zhou Xing was still keen on exploring unknown interstellar routes, while Ling Xue continued to use her talent in the field of cooking. They used their spare time to develop new food recipes together, incorporating various exotic ingredients encountered during interstellar exploration. They also incorporated some interstellar cultural elements into the restaurant's decoration and service, making the restaurant in the space station more unique.

Once, the space station held a grand interstellar cultural exchange event. Messengers, businessmen, scientists and artists from various galaxies gathered together. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were invited to participate in the preparation of the event, responsible for providing creative ideas for food and venue layout. They excitedly accepted the invitation and began to get busy.

Ling Xue carefully prepared hundreds of special dishes, including sparkling cocktails inspired by interstellar energy crystals, exquisite pastries imitating planetary landforms, and exotic meals cooked with alien biological fruits. These delicacies are not only delicious, but also unique in shape, and each one contains the charm of interstellar culture. Zhou Xing used his experience and technology in route mapping to design a stunning holographic starry sky show as the opening performance of the event.

On the day of the event, when the guests stepped into the restaurant, they were stunned by the scene before them. The entire restaurant seemed to be in the vast universe, with brilliant starry images projected on the surrounding walls, and various constellations and galaxies flashing charming light. The table was filled with exquisite food, exuding an enticing aroma. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue wore gorgeous dresses and greeted every guest with a smile.

The event went very smoothly. While enjoying the food, the guests also watched wonderful performances and exhibitions. They spoke highly of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's creativity and efforts, and praised it as an unprecedented interstellar cultural feast. This event not only promoted cultural exchanges and cooperation between various galaxies, but also further enhanced Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's interstellar popularity.
