Chapter 111: Important
"Baby, we're going back now. We'll come see you again tomorrow."
At the entrance, Conson and Doris said goodbye to Anno after having dinner.
They have their own house and don't usually live here. Conson and Doris are both designers, so their work is a bit busy. Now that Anno has been discharged from the hospital in good health, they can go back to work with peace of mind.
Logan and Tang Ting stayed at home, and the children didn't need their care. They would only come over to help look after the children when they were both out working.
Winnie and Philt mostly live with Locke and the others, but Philt is a little busier. Winnie is a gardener and planting expert, and now her focus is on the children. She only goes out to work occasionally, teaching students.
When Locke and the others are home, Winnie will schedule more time for work.
The lifespan of the people of the Northern River Star is up to about six hundred years, and they are still strong and healthy, far from the time to retire.
Now that there's another little one in the family, they'll have more time to take care of her.
Unlike the bodies of beasts and alien species, the Fire Seed requires far more careful and meticulous care.
"Mom, can we take my little sister out to play?"
Baroque drove his little car up to Locke and the others, looked up and asked them a question.
Lokin looked at Ivana walking up from behind and placed Anno in the passenger seat: "Go on, don't stay out too late."
There are streetlights everywhere on Green Hill at night, and the security level in the community is also very high, so they feel relatively at ease letting their children play there together.
Eve walked to Locke's side and looked at Anno's back, saying, "Sister, Anno's memories haven't been restored yet. I'm very worried about what will happen if she regains her memories one day."
"Are you sure Nono's memories will definitely be restored?" Luo Jin asked.
“This is a characteristic of the Zerg,” Tang Ting said. “Although Baby looks no different from the Fireseed now, that’s only on the surface. Her genes are still Zerg, but they are masked by the fusion of Fireseed genes.”
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Jin said, "It would be good if it could be restored."
Eve asked in surprise, "Sister, do you want Nono to regain her memories? Those memories are so painful for her, wouldn't it be better to let her start over happily?"
Lokin: "I am Nono's mother. I hope she can be happy and joyful for the rest of her life. Whether she is a Fireseed, an Insect, or any other race, her identity is not important. Only she is important."
“In Nono’s memories, I see that she wanted to return to her people. Nono should have a choice, instead of being kept in the dark. This is too cruel to her.”
Tang Ting held Luo Jin's hand and rationally analyzed with her: "Baby's memory will be restored, and the core will grow back. It's a good thing that the baby's memory hasn't been restored yet. The baby's body is not yet adapted to the Zerg environment. If the baby remembers at this time, she will want to return to the Zerg but will not be able to. What will the baby do then?"
After hearing this, Evena understood what Tang Ting meant. "What we need to do now is to take good care of the baby before she regains her memory. Once her core grows out, she will have a choice."
Tang Ting nodded: "The reason why the Zerg have not made any moves is because of this. Otherwise, given the Zerg's nature, they would already be pressing in with their army and would not have left Baby in the North River system. They are waiting for Baby's core to grow before they can take her back."
"Are you willing to let the baby leave you?" Evena asked.
Lokin stroked Evena's long hair and said softly, "Children always have to leave their parents when they grow up. Evena, you've been holding it in all these days. Now we all know what happened. You should try to be more open-minded and not carry these emotions on your shoulders all the time."
The special abilities possessed by the Fire Seeds make them far more empathetic than others, and they are easily influenced by the emotions of others.
Because she could personally feel Anuo's pain, she hoped even more that Anuo could forget the painful memories and live a happy life.
But what Locke just said—that she should have a choice—made her feel even more guilty.
"Then I'll head back now, sister and brother-in-law."
Luo Jin stepped forward and hugged her. "Go back and get some rest. Put Nuonuo's matter aside for now. I see you have some bruises under your eyes."
Ivana hugged her back and smiled slightly, "Now that I've told you the truth, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Half an hour later, Baroque returned with Anno. After just one stroll, their little car was filled with all sorts of gifts, mostly food and toys.
Baroque couldn't count who gave them all; they received gifts from every household they passed, all for Anno.
Luo Jin carried Anuo out of the car, saying, "It seems our Anuo is quite popular with the uncles and aunties in the community!"
Anno has been in this world for so long that he has gradually gotten used to their love for fire. However, he still feels uncomfortable being touched by people other than his family and does not like contact with strangers.
At 8 p.m., after giving Anuo a bath and drying her hair, she lay down on the bed to go to sleep, which is usually around this time for her.
Having stayed in the hospital for over two months, she had gotten used to it and was having trouble sleeping in the new environment. Then she heard loud music coming from outside the room and, holding her baby bottle, wanted to get up and go check it out.
Upon hearing the music, Lokin knew it was Tao Tao Le. He was about to get up and go to her room to ask her to turn it off when he heard Ota's voice, "Tao Tao Le! Turn off your music!"
Tao Tao thought Anuo wasn't asleep, so she started playing the drums to the rhythm of her idol's song. Just as she got into it, the door was pushed open. She saw Ota but didn't think much of it and was about to continue playing when she saw Karina's figure appear behind Ota.
She immediately put down the drumsticks and turned off the song.
"Won't you go deaf playing music this loud?"
Karina stepped forward and raised her hand towards Tao Tao Le. Tao Tao Le thought her second sister was going to hit her, so she shrank her neck and begged for mercy: "Second sister, I was wrong!"
Karina placed a device on her drum kit. "Soundproof. Xiaoqi needs to go to bed at eight o'clock every night. Remember to turn on the soundproof."
Tao Tao quickly said, "Oh dear, I forgot! I won't knock anymore."
Actually, the soundproofing in her room is quite good; it's just that her speakers have a super strong vibration function, and she likes heavy metal music, so when she plays it, the whole building vibrates.
Normally, Luo Jin and Tang Ting are not at home, and Karina has gone to school, so Bai Zhou and the others have to put up with Tao Tao Le and keep her company while she shakes.
Tao Tao Le has a carefree personality and isn't afraid of anyone except Karina and Locke. Even if you scold her, she'll immediately forget about it and do it again next time.
