"Is that so?"
Kafka chuckled softly.
Without further hesitation, she pressed the Stellaron into Stelle's chest and gave it a firm push, implanting it into her body.
Chen Mu arrived at that moment as well.
A smile filled his face as he watched the scene before him.
This was the iconic scene of Stelle's birth—and Mommy Kafka's birth as well.
However...
When Kafka and Silver Wolf saw Chen Mu arrive, their expressions instantly changed in shock.
"Kafka!" Silver Wolf shouted.
"Understood." Kafka replied, instantly appearing beside Silver Wolf.
Originally, with the Stellaron successfully implanted,
Kafka had planned to soothe the newly born Stelle.
But Chen Mu's arrival had clearly put her in no mood for that.
Without the slightest hesitation,
the two began to flee, their bodies rapidly turning into data as they vanished right before Chen Mu's eyes.
Chen Mu: "..."
Seeing what they had done,
Chen Mu's mouth twitched slightly.
Was he really that scary?
He remembered promising that he would not interfere with Kafka and Silver Wolf.
And he had not acted that intimidating during his interactions with them, had he?
Did they really have to run the moment they saw him?
Forget it.
As Stelle's body slowly fell from midair, Chen Mu clearly had no time to worry about that. He teleported over, raised his hand, and gently caught her.
Stelle's eyelids fluttered slightly.
She was clearly about to wake up soon.
"Where... am I?"
Stelle woke hazily, and the first thing she saw was Chen Mu.
For a moment, she stared at him in a daze.
What a handsome man.
Who... was he?
"You're awake?"
Chen Mu looked at Stelle in his arms, a gentle smile on his face as he said warmly,
"Listen to me. You don't need to be nervous. Your mind is a mess right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, or what you should do next. But you don't need to worry. None of that is important. What matters is that you've woken up, which means a brand-new beginning.
"You don't need to dwell on the past, nor do you need to doubt yourself. I promise you, you'll have many wonderful journeys ahead of you. You'll encounter many beautiful things. You'll have companions like family. Perhaps when you reach the end of your journey, all the confusion you feel now will fade away."
Stelle looked at Chen Mu before her.
As she listened to his gentle words, she only felt her eyelids growing heavy again.
"If you're tired, rest a little longer. You don't need to worry about anything."
Seeing her condition, Chen Mu spoke softly.
"Mm."
Stelle responded quietly, then slowly closed her eyes again and sank into darkness.
Seeing the utterly peaceful expression on Stelle's face in his arms, Chen Mu finally relaxed.
Right now,
he only felt speechless.
Mommy Kafka really was... all birth, no parenting. Completely irresponsible.
She had actually just run off?
Could she still call herself Mommy Kafka like that? She did not deserve to be called a mom at all!
It had forced Chen Mu to step in.
He had to calm Stelle down first.
Hm?
Come to think of it, did that mean he had stolen Kafka's scene?
Realizing this,
Chen Mu's mouth twitched.
Damn it!
Kafka: It Feels Like I've Lost My Status as a Mom
"This person's coordinates weren't sent out by the Space Station..."
"At a time like this, why are you still worrying about that? There's a living person right in front of us. We can't just leave her there, can we?"
"Hey, Chen Mu! Say something! What exactly is going on with her? Her heartbeat and pulse are both so weak. Don't tell me she needs mouth-to-mouth?"
"..."
When Stelle woke up again,
she heard a jumble of noisy voices around her through her haze.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a cute, beautiful pink-haired girl and a young man who looked somewhat stern.
As her memories returned to her mind,
Stelle felt panic rise within her and instinctively looked around.
Only when she spotted Chen Mu in the distance did she finally feel at ease.
"Hey, hey, you're awake? That's great! Are you okay? Can you hear me? Do you remember what your name is?"
Seeing Stelle awaken, March 7th hurried over and asked excitedly.
Stelle glanced at March 7th but said nothing. Instead, she turned to Chen Mu with a smile on her face.
"Why are you looking at Researcher Chen Mu? Do you know him or something?"
Seeing this, March 7th widened her eyes and asked curiously.
"Know him..."
Stelle held her head and shook it. "I don't know. I... don't remember anything."
"Huh? Amnesia? That's troublesome. Do you remember your own name?"
March 7th tried to help Stelle recall something and asked.
Stelle remained silent.
"Stelle. Her name is Stelle."
At that moment,
Chen Mu stepped forward and finally spoke.
Stelle froze at his words.
She repeated her own name twice in her heart.
Her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Mm, Stelle. My name is Stelle."
Stelle spoke with a serious expression, then gave Chen Mu a grateful look.
"Hello. We didn't get the chance to introduce ourselves earlier, did we? My name is Chen Mu. I look forward to working with you."
Chen Mu smiled gently and extended his hand toward Stelle.
After murmuring Chen Mu's name twice in her heart, Stelle smiled, reached out, and took his hand.
"Mm, I look forward to working with you too, Chen Mu."
"Eh, eh?"
Watching this from the side, March 7th was completely dumbfounded.
"Why do you know Stelle's name, Chen Mu, yet you two look like you're meeting for the first time?"
Chen Mu and Stelle looked at each other and smiled.
During the time Stelle had been unconscious again,
March 7th and Dan Heng had undoubtedly found their way here.
Naturally, March 7th and Dan Heng knew Chen Mu.
After all, the Stellaron Express often dealt with the Space Station. Given Chen Mu's reputation, it would have been hard for March 7th and Dan Heng not to know him.
While waiting beside Stelle,
Chen Mu had not been surprised when March 7th and Dan Heng arrived.
Ignoring March 7th's question, Chen Mu introduced them instead.
"They're March 7th and Dan Heng, members of the Stellaron Express. They occasionally work with our Space Station. The Anti-Matter Legion attacked, so they came to help."
"Are we introducing ourselves already? Hello, I'm March 7th!"
March 7th said energetically, flustered but full of spirit.
"I'm Dan Heng."
Dan Heng nodded and responded as well.
Stelle nodded to them. Though she still had many questions, she did not voice them.
"As for Stelle, she's a special girl who has lost her memories."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu introduced Stelle to March 7th and Dan Heng that way.
"She's lost her memories? That's so sad. But don't be upset. I'm actually just like you! I don't have any memories of my past either. And even if our past memories are gone, we can still make memories for the future!"
Hearing Chen Mu's words, March 7th was startled and began waving her hands about as she tried to comfort Stelle in her own way.
Hearing March 7th's words, Stelle's fondness for her immediately rose.
"A special girl? What exactly is special about her, Mr. Chen Mu?"
Dan Heng focused on something different after hearing Chen Mu's words and asked thoughtfully.
For some reason,
ever since seeing this girl named Stelle, Dan Heng had felt that she was far from ordinary.
"Mm... If I had to say what's special about her, it would probably be that there's a Stellaron inside her body."
Chen Mu did not think there was any need to hide it and said so directly.
