Ji Xinghe finishes work at two o'clock, goes to bed around two-twenty, and gets up at six. After washing up, he arrives outside Xinxin's room at six-twenty and waits quietly. He doesn't feel bored, as he can rest and exercise during the waiting period.
Resting means closing his eyes and nourishing his spirit, and exercising means practicing standing postures. The air pressure and composition inside the alien base are almost identical to the Azure Star, but it can't simulate Azure Star's gravity. Feeling only a third of Azure Star's gravity, Ji Xinghe feels almost unbound. His body is not worn out from working last night -his eyes are just a bit tired-, but he is perfectly fine after resting for a night.
Xinxin gets up at seven. Judging from when she woke up, Xinxin must have gone to bed very late last night. She lay motionless in bed looking as if she was sound asleep, but who could understand her emotional turbulence?
