Chapter 43: Chapter 43: How Could I Mistake a Stranger for My Mother?!



"Wow... she's so beautiful!" Guinaifen murmured involuntarily, her gaze fixed on the pure white figure in the distance.

Though she couldn't see the woman's face, her mere silhouette hinted at an otherworldly beauty.

[Little Gui, go for it! Go flirt with her, and I'll shower you with Spaceships!]

[Streamer, streamer, show us! We want to see! We want to see!]

[Streamer, streamer, please! We're begging you!]

"This... this might not be a good idea," Guinaifen muttered, glancing at the comment section before turning back to the ethereal figure.

Normally, without the live stream running, she might have approached her. But now, with the camera rolling, what if the woman took offense?

She might scold me... Judging by her aura, she must be someone important. If I offended her, would I be kicked off Xianzhou Luofu by the end of the day?

Guinaifen gazed at the figure before her, her mind racing with wild thoughts.

The figure exuded an extraordinary aura of grace and authority. An invisible force field seemed to surround her, keeping everyone at least two meters away. This only reinforced Guinaifen's conviction that she was a major figure of immense status.

As Guinaifen's thoughts swirled, the live stream suddenly shifted to a dazzling cosmic display. Brilliant stars filled half the screen as a rocket plunged downward, shaking the entire broadcast and causing Guinaifen's phone to vibrate.

Startled by the vibration, Guinaifen snapped back to reality and focused on her phone. Her mouth dropped into a perfect "O" of shock as she stared at the gift notification.

Stammering slightly, she managed to thank the generous donor:

"T-thank you, B-Big Brother, for the... the Spaceship!"

Guinaifen stared in awe at the dazzling special effects in her live stream, feeling like she was in a dream.

If I remember correctly, that Spaceship costs a million Credit Points...

Holy shit! The mere thought of the price made her vision blur, and she nearly fainted.

Determined not to embarrass herself, she forced herself to remain calm and glanced at the comment section.

Thanks to the Spaceship's site-wide broadcast, the number of viewers had skyrocketed from just over thirty to over a thousand, and it was still climbing rapidly.

The comment section was a blur of scrolling messages, too fast for her to keep up with. However, she managed to spot a few eye-catching fan comments and the gilded message from the generous benefactor who had gifted the Spaceship.

[Spaceship already sent! Little Gui, you're not backing down now, are you?]

[Little Gui, the big boss has spoken! Go flirt with them already!]

[Little Gui, I've never asked you for anything in my life! Just let me see this happen! Please!]

Reading the comments flooding the screen, Guinaifen closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to calm her racing heart.

Then, her gaze locked onto the flawless figure standing nearby, her eyes hardening with resolve.

"Hey everyone," she murmured to the chat, "if I get kicked off the Xianzhou, you'll all take good care of me, right?"

[Don't worry, Little Gui, my bed's pretty big.😈 ]

[Little Gui's still got it going on. ( ´ཀ` )]

[You guys are hopeless... Fine, I'm hungry too! Little Gui, I'll take you in!]

Guinaifen removed her phone from the selfie stick and temporarily shut off the live stream camera. After a final deep breath, she strode toward the figure drawing all eyes.

Until I know how she feels about live streams, it's best to keep this hidden...

That was Guinaifen's thought, but the viewers in her live stream erupted in protest.

[Holy shit, streamer, are you hogging her all to yourself?]

[Little Gui, you don't want me to hit that report button, do you?]

Why isn't Guinaifen here yet? Lumina wondered, sensing the young woman's presence behind her, her expression shifting with hesitation.

Something's not right... Is it my looks? Or is Guinaifen's live stream audience too small? Lumina pondered, unable to find an answer.

Never mind. A beautiful girl is worth pursuing! she decided, resolving to take the initiative. After all, a beautiful girl deserved her effort!

Hmm?

Just as this thought crossed Lumina's mind, she noticed Guinaifen put away her phone, took a deep breath, and started walking toward her.

She's coming! She's coming! Lumina's heart fluttered with excitement, but her face remained composed, adorned with that effortlessly charming smile that made her so likable. She waited quietly for Guinaifen to approach.

"Um... h-hello..." Guinaifen stammered, stopping behind Lumina.

As she approached, Guinaifen caught a calming fragrance that lingered in the air, enveloping her senses. The gentle scent seemed to soothe her racing heart, bringing a measure of peace to her flustered mind.

"Hello there, is there anything I can help you with?" Lumina turned around, a gentle smile gracing her lips.

"S-so beautiful..." Guinaifen stammered, utterly captivated by Lumina's face.

She had imagined that someone with such grace and a figure like hers would undoubtedly possess striking beauty.

But when she finally saw Lumina's face, Guinaifen was completely stunned.

She was too beautiful, both in appearance and demeanor.

Guinaifen felt a sensation akin to being a newborn cradled in her mother's arms...

"Hmm? Are you alright?" Lumina asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes hidden beneath a concerned expression.

"Y-yes, I'm fine..." Guinaifen stammered, quickly shaking her head to clear her thoughts.

What was I thinking...? She couldn't believe she had... she had actually mistaken this stranger she had just met for her own mother.

Guinaifen genuinely wanted to smack herself. What on earth was I thinking?

Lumina watched Guinaifen's flustered demeanor with mild amusement, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "Hello there," she said, "I'm Lumina, a newly arrived physician in the Luofu."

"Lumina?" Guinaifen murmured to herself, the name sounding strangely familiar, as if she'd heard it somewhere before.

But Guinaifen didn't have time to dwell on it. She hastily introduced herself: "U-um, Miss Lumina, it's nice to meet you. I'm Guinaifen, and I'm... I'm an acrobatics enthusiast!"

After a long pause to consider her true profession, Guinaifen finally settled on this explanation.

"Guinaifen... what a lovely name. I'll be sure to remember it♪" Lumina carefully considered the name before offering a genuine smile.

"Th-thank you..."

Seeing Lumina's radiant, penetrating smile, Guinaifen's heart skipped a beat.

Lumina... What a beautiful name...
