Chapter 611 As expected, it's my father-in-law who truly understands me!

Soon after, the Hyperion landed smoothly on the moon. As the hatch slowly opened, Xiao Shi was the first to dart out, his boots crunching softly on the lunar surface, shouting:

"Where is Ah Ming? Come out and greet me at once!"

Einstein: "..." She pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting the cold white light from outside the cabin, her expression still as aloof as ever.

Fu Hua followed closely behind, stepping out of the cabin and nodding to Einstein. Seeing only Einstein, she asked curiously:

"Dr. Einstein, excuse me. Dr. Tesla isn't with you?"

"After she saw your message and learned that Walter was trapped on the other side of the stargate, she locked herself in the laboratory and devoted herself to studying the data related to the stargate."

Einstein's gaze swept over the group filing out, from Siegfried, Mei☆, Alicia, and finally settled on the bouncy, most lively Shizuku. His lips twitched almost imperceptibly as he added,

"However, even without Tesla's noise, this lunar base will probably never be quiet."

Even so, she still stepped aside to make way, and said calmly:

"Fu Ming is in Kiana's room. Please follow me."

Xiao Shi, with his sharp ears, caught the words "Kiana☆'s room" first, and quickened his pace, almost pulling on Fu Hua's sleeve as he rushed forward:

"Hmph! -- They really are together! I knew Kiana☆ never had anything worthwhile to do!"

Fu Hua was pulled so hard that she stumbled and helplessly pressed her forehead.

Mei☆ followed behind, a faint smile playing on her lips, while Alicia teased from the side:

"Hey~ Little Shi, slow down! It wouldn't be friendly if we caught A-Ming bullying Kiana☆!"

Siegfried walked at the very back with a carefree attitude:

"He dares!"

The corridors of the lunar base were paved with non-slip metal panels, and the crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the air.

Einstein walked at the front, her steps steady. Turning a corner, she stopped in front of a silver-white hatch and knocked.

"Kiana, Fu Ming, open the door."

There was a few seconds of silence inside the door, then Kiana☆'s voice came from inside: "Coming, coming!"

Then came a rustling sound, as if someone was hurriedly tidying up their clothes.

Xiao Shi couldn't resist eavesdropping by pressing his face against the door, only to be gently tapped on the back of the head by Fu Hua:

"Don't be ridiculous."

A moment later, the hatch slowly slid open.

Kiana stood at the door, her signature white hair disheveled and plastered to her cheeks, a few strands still damp with a thin layer of sweat, her cheeks flushed with a lingering blush, as if she had been thoroughly inhaled by the heat.

Upon seeing the large group of people outside the door, her pupils suddenly contracted, her eyes widened, and her tone was full of surprise and astonishment:

"Xiao Shi? Mei☆? Alicia? How come you got here so fast! Uh... Dad and the class president are here too?!"

Fu Ming, who was standing behind her, had just straightened his clothes. The dark fabric still showed some wrinkles. He was also taken aback when he saw everyone, but then nodded in greeting, his expression still relatively 'calm'.

The faint blush on the tips of her ears, like a mark that betrayed her feelings, silently indicated that the two of them were definitely not doing anything serious just now.

"Hey! Of course, we're here to catch them in the act!"

Before Xiao Shi could finish speaking, and before Kiana could even react, she darted past her like a nimble raccoon, sidestepped Fu Ming's outstretched hand that tried to stop her, and disappeared into the room in a flash.

Her eyes darted around, peering curiously into every corner. The moment her gaze swept over the bed, she abruptly stopped.

Xiao Shi stood with his hands on his hips, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips, his eyes fixed on Kiana☆, his tone dripping with undisguised sarcasm:

"Oh—this is what you meant by being busy? That must be incredibly busy!"

The next second, time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Under the watchful eyes of Xiao Shi, Alicia, and Kiana☆, Fu Ming practically teleported to the bedside and carried the wet sheets into his system space.

The gears of time begin to turn again...

"???" Mei☆ frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously touching her brow, her clear eyes filled with doubt: "Just now... was there a momentary pause in time?"

She clearly felt the atmosphere around her freeze for a moment, but she couldn't find any abnormal traces, as if it were just her imagination.

Mei☆, there are five people, four of whom are active in the Time Stop, and you, without the Origin Power, are not one of them.

Fu Ming coughed lightly, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate obsequiousness:

"Um... you must be hungry after traveling all this way, right? Have you eaten? How about I cook for you?"

"Hey! It's been so long since I've had your cooking!" Siegfried slapped his thigh almost reflexively.

Xiao Shi blinked her round eyes, her face full of question marks that seemed to say, "Are you crazy?" She subconsciously took half a step back, her tone full of disbelief and skepticism:

"You dare eat the food Ah Ming cooked?!"

Fu Ming's eyes lit up, and he quickly seized the opportunity, his tone unusually enthusiastic:

"As expected, it's my father-in-law who truly understands me!"

The room fell silent after he said that.

Fu Hua paused at her brow, closing her eyes helplessly; Alicia covered her mouth, her eyes almost overflowing with amusement, but she managed to suppress her laughter.

The word "father-in-law" struck him like a spark hitting a gasoline can. Siegfried instantly switched to a fighting stance, abruptly raising his hand to press down on Fu Ming's shoulder, his voice trembling:

"Shut up! Who gave you the right to yell like that! I haven't even agreed to your relationship with Kiana yet!"

Fu Ming froze, cold sweat instantly streaming down his forehead, his lower eyes looking as innocent as a large, wronged dog.

"Well, in the other world, you and your mother-in-law have already agreed to my relationship with Kiana☆."

Siegfried's hand on his shoulder tightened suddenly, his eyes widened like saucers, his pupils filled with disbelief and shock, and his voice cracked:

"W-What?! Cecilia from another world...she's still alive?!"

He lived most of his life, experiencing many ups and downs, and never truly envied anyone.

But upon hearing "Cecilia is still in the other world," his heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by something, a mix of soreness and swelling. His blood pressure instantly soared to its peak, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes even began to redden slightly.

Kiana☆ saw her father's distraught state and felt a lump in her throat. She stepped forward and gently tugged at his sleeve:

"Yes, the mother in that world also sacrificed herself in the Second Collapse, but Ah Ming revived her with an item. Now she is living well with another father, my sister and me."

"Resurrected?!"

Siegfried abruptly turned to look at her, his eyes almost overflowing with shock, his movements so forceful they were almost out of control, his voice filled with urgent hope:

"Then, does that mean I can... I can see Cecilia again?!"

Einstein's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he remained silent, watching quietly.

Fu Ming frowned slightly as he was gripped, but still patiently comforted him:

"Father-in-law, please don't be in such a hurry."

That resurrection item has a long cooldown period, so it can't be used right now.

But don't worry, if we wait patiently, one day we might really be able to see my mother-in-law again.

The moment the words "father-in-law" were uttered, Siegfried's attention instantly shifted from "resurrecting Cecilia," his brow furrowed, but he did not retort as sternly as before.

He loosened his grip on Fu Ming's hand slightly, his tone carrying a hint of awkwardness:

"Who gave you permission to shout like that again... But—"

He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes immediately becoming urgent, and grabbed Fu Ming's arm, pressing him for an answer:

"How long will that item take to cool down? A year? Two years? Or ten years? No matter how long it takes, I'll wait!"

Fu Ming was so dizzy from being shaken that he quickly raised his hand to press down on Siegfried's arm to steady himself, his voice trembling slightly from the shaking:

"Stop shaking! Stop shaking! Just one year, only one year later, and you can make a wish again!"

"A year?!"

Siegfried's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and trembling. His shoulders, which had been drooping, tensed up abruptly, and his eyes flashed with an astonishing light.

It was the ecstatic joy of finding something lost. He froze for a few seconds, then grabbed Fu Ming's arm and repeatedly confirmed it, his voice filled with disbelief and urgency:

"Are you serious? Just one year? I thought... I thought I'd have to wait three to five years, or even longer..."

Kiana☆ saw the overflowing joy in her father's eyes, and a faint tingling sensation welled up in her nose. She gently patted his broad back, her voice as soft as if bathed in moonlight:

"Dad, a year will pass quickly, let's wait together."

"Correct!"

Siegfried's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up, slapping Fu Ming's shoulder hard enough to almost make Fu Ming stumble.

"Kid, if I could have met Cecilia sooner, I wouldn't just agree to your relationship with Kiana☆, I'd also help you get rid of everyone who's against it!"

"I object!" Xiao Shi stepped forward, arms crossed, eyes wide, her tone defiant: "How are you going to deal with me?"

Siegfried's heroic expression froze instantly. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then changed the subject, patted Fu Ming's arm, and smiled slyly:

"Well... of course, this should be left to the son-in-law to handle!"

As he spoke, he winked at Fu Ming, looking just like a mischievous old man who loved to watch the fun.

Xiao Shi grimaced at the sight, angrily criticizing Siegfried's rapid change of expression.

"Siegfried, you're such a hypocrite! You were all snarling just now, but as soon as you heard you could meet Ms. Cecilia, you immediately became her son-in-law? Be a little more assertive!"
