It's Because of You. / I Saw a Miracle.

"I know what you mean, but things haven't gotten to that point yet."

She said, "Now is the right time to negotiate with Xianzhou; it's not appropriate for you to leave at this moment."

"As for ARuan... she said she wouldn't continue the experiment, but I'm really worried and have to go there in person to put my mind at ease."

"Don't worry, I'm very capable. Didn't I used to run around everywhere by myself?"

Kiana didn't let her speak, and said everything herself, "I'm going to check on the situation at the space station, I'll be back to find you soon."

Chapter 144 It's Because of You.

Herta Space Station.

Kiana persuaded Yomi that day, and with worries about the matter lingering, she boarded the Starskiff of the Xianzhou and headed to the Herta Space Station.

Of course, she wasn't idle along the way.

She devoted all her energy to building the Teleport capability, researching, learning, and developing it simultaneously.

I hope I can develop this crucial skill as soon as possible, so that I can save her the time she wastes on the road.

Ruan Mei said that day that she didn't need to come.

Kiana couldn't put her mind at ease, so she came anyway. She waited until the day she was about to arrive at the space station before finally informing Ruan Mei that she was coming to find her.

The main principle is to act first and ask questions later.

Ruan Mei didn't reply to her.

I don't know if she didn't see it or she did, but I felt somewhat dissatisfied because of my distrust of her.

When Kiana arrived, the space station was still there and she was prepared to wait a while before she could see Ruan Mei.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got off the train, she spotted the figure she had been longing for day and night on the platform.

Without a doubt, it was Ruan Mei.

At this moment... are they waiting for me?

Kiana's eyes lit up. After greeting the person who brought her to the space station, she quickly walked towards Ruan Mei.

She wasn't in a hurry because of Propagation issues; she was simply happy to see Ruan Mei.

When she was less than five or six meters away from Ruan Mei, she called out to her in a voice that wouldn't disturb the person with their back to her, "ARuan!"

His excited voice was filled with joy.

Ruan Mei had already noticed her approach, and she wasn't surprised to hear her call. She simply turned around slowly to look at her, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

It's been a while since I last saw her, but Kiana is still the same as before she left, unchanged.

She didn't speak, but simply extended her hand towards Kiana, as if hinting at something.

What is this... for?

Kiana was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively placed her hand on her long, beautiful hand.

Ruan Mei indeed gripped her hand tightly.

Her doubts dominated her thoughts, but the rest of her feelings were filled with joy upon seeing her.

Holding Kiana's hand, Ruan Mei finally spoke her first words to Kiana after seeing her, "I will keep my promise to you, so you don't need to worry."

Even if it weren't for that, I should still come see you. I missed you!

Kiana was quick with words, and the hand that Ruan Mei was holding slipped between her fingers, interlocking with hers.

"Doesn't ARuan want to see me?"

She looked at Ruan Mei with a pitiful expression. She was worried that Ruan Mei might act impulsively and secretly conduct that dangerous experiment behind her back, but she didn't lie.

Ruan Mei is now hers.

She misses Ruan Mei, so she wanted to come see her. Is that a problem?

Absolutely no problem!

Ruan Mei looked down at her tightly clasped hands; Kiana held them very firmly, as if afraid she might suddenly leave.

She knew that wasn't the main reason.

It's obvious.

But...

Let's find a quieter place to talk.

Ruan Mei didn't want to stand in this place with Kiana any longer, even though she could make everyone around them ignore them.

But people come and go.

This is so annoying.

"I'll do whatever you say~"

Kiana followed her, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, as they rode the elevator through winding paths to other areas.

There are fewer and fewer people visible to the naked eye.

Eventually, there was no one to be seen on the road.

"The Herta has temporarily granted me the right to use this place; no one will come to disturb me."

Ruan Mei led her to a laboratory in the confinement section. Kiana felt that it looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, she found that it was somewhat similar to the background in the communication that day.

"You must be very busy these days, right?"

Kiana glanced briefly at the lab before turning her attention back to Ruan Mei, gently touching her face with a tender touch. "I hope I didn't cause you any trouble by coming here on my own?"

No trouble.

Ruan Mei took her hand, but looked at her and said, "I'm just a little unhappy."

"Because... I didn't listen to you?"

You don't believe me.

Ruan Mei lowered her eyes, tightened her grip on her hand slightly, and said, "I know why you don't believe me, but I'm still a little unhappy about it."

Kiana felt embarrassed and tried to explain weakly, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I just couldn't rest easy coming to see you."

"This shows a lack of trust in me."

The facts are undeniable, and any explanation would be futile. Kiana hesitated, then pursed her lips and lowered her head in disappointment. "I'm sorry."

There is indeed some distrust.

After all, Ruan Mei is a genius.

"I will keep my promise to you."

Ruan Mei raised her head, leaned forward slightly, and looked closely into her eyes, saying, "We can discuss things you don't want me to do."

"Honesty and understanding between us are only natural."

A look of emotion flashed in her azure eyes.

Ruan Mei gently stroked her face with her fingers, calming her somewhat agitated emotions through the intimate touch.

"I do have some ideas."

"Regarding Propagation."

Kiana whispered, "I know."

The distance between her and Ruan Mei was now somewhat dangerous; ever since Ruan Mei began speaking, the distance between them had been steadily closing.

Until now.

She retreated to the edge of the lab table, with nowhere left to go; she was in a dead end.

"I know your greatest interest has always been in life sciences, and to reach the pinnacle of this field, one inevitably has to explore the Aeon, especially Abundance and Propagation."

A slight ripple appeared in Ruan Mei's eyes. She sensed some of Kiana's thoughts, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Your thinking is correct. Honkai energy is indeed different from the direction I'm researching. And the reason I'm interested in Honkai is..."

She paused briefly at this point, whether out of concern or to keep Kiana in suspense, deliberately trying to make her anxious.

What is it?

Kiana indeed became anxious, her eyes filled with doubt, tension, and worry; there was no doubt that she was very curious about this matter.

It's you.

Kiana, holding her breath and concentrating, stood frozen in place, expecting to hear something she herself didn't know.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

"... Me? Me? Are you kidding me ARuan?"

Ruan Mei's interest in Honkai energy stems from herself? That sounds... off.

She remembers it very clearly.

Ruan Mei left behind the amnesiac girl in order to study Honkai energy, and made a promise with her.

She had always believed that Ruan Mei had left herself behind to study the Honkai, but now Ruan Mei was saying that she was only interested in the Honkai energy because of her...

The order is completely reversed!

So, when ARuan said that, she wasn't actually discussing the reasons with her, but rather trying to win her favor?

When Ruan Mei read her thought, she paused slightly and corrected her, "No, that's not what I meant."

Kiana: "..."

Chapter 145 I Saw a Miracle.

Kiana's mood instantly took a 180-degree turn; embarrassment spread throughout her body, and her face burned intensely.

Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, I wanted to pull my hand away from her grasp and end this probing conversation.

The company is dead!

Why can't I learn my lesson?!

Ruan Mei gripped her tightly, especially after sensing her desire to escape, she tightened her grip even more.

Our conversation is not over yet.

"... Um."

Damn it, damn it, we're talking about serious matters right now, stop your brain from wandering into random, nonsensical thoughts!

She kept a straight face, trying to clear her mind.

I really don't dare to do it again.

"I think this way the conversation is more efficient, don't you like it?"

Kiana smiled awkwardly.

It's efficient, but offers absolutely no privacy.

Even the deepest, most shameful thoughts about life can be seen by others!

I don't mind.

You don't mind, but I do.

The person who died in the company was...

Kiana quickly dismissed the thought, feeling guilty and avoiding Ruan Mei's eyes. "Let's get down to business."

Kiana dared not think any further, especially after seeing Ruan Mei's increasingly serious expression, she dared not utter another word.

"Why is it because of me?"

Ruan Mei said she didn't mean that, so she was stating the truth. So what was the real reason?

She had absolutely no recollection of it.
