Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

His parched throat made him speak in a hoarse voice. Soon, Nangong Yu felt the rim of the glass against his lips, and he opened his mouth and took small sips.

He didn't stop and breathe a sigh of relief until he finished the whole glass of water.

Opening her eyes, she was immediately met with Bronya's somewhat worried gaze.

"How are you feeling?" she asked with concern, putting down her cup.

"Much better, thank you and Seele for your help."

The churning sensation in his stomach had subsided, but he was still a little dizzy. However, it was nothing serious and did not affect his activities.

The familiar surroundings made him realize that he was back in his bedroom at home.

"I didn't do anything. Would you like some water?"

Bronya poured him another glass of warm water and looked at him, asking.

"Not for now, let me take a break."

Click.

The sound of the door opening drew their attention. Seele walked in carrying a bowl of porridge, saying softly, "Bronya, have something to eat first..."

As soon as she placed the tray on the table, Xi'er met the gaze of Nangong Yu, who was lying on the bed and smiling at her.

"Brother, you're awake!"

Her slightly uneasy expression quickly turned into surprise. She couldn't wait to get to the bedside. Just as she was about to pounce on him, she stopped and carefully approached her brother.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"It's just motion sickness. You and Bronya are worrying too much."

With a helpless sigh, Nangong Yu propped herself up against the headboard and opened her arms to Xier.

"You have no idea how terrifying you looked when you got off the plane."

Seeing Seele happily go over and get hugged, Bronya suppressed her slight envy and crossed her arms, saying with some dissatisfaction.

"That was a miscalculation. I've been having so much fun these past few days that I forgot about my motion sickness."

Thinking about this gave Nangong Yu a headache. It seemed she would definitely have to remember this well in the future.

"It's all Seele's fault. If Seele remembered, brother wouldn't be in so much pain."

"I've forgotten what I said, so it's normal that Seele doesn't remember either."

Patting Xier's shoulder in his arms, Nangong Yu suddenly heard a buzzing sound from his phone.

New news?

As soon as I turned my gaze, I saw Bronya hand me her phone.

"Thank you."

After casually saying thank you, Nangong Yu turned on the screen, and Xi'er's little head curiously leaned over, openly peeking.

Nangong Yu didn't mind, rubbed Xi'er's little head, and then opened the message notification.

Some pop-up messages came from Kiana, Mei, and Sirin, all of whom were asking about his situation in the group chat.

After letting the group know he was safe, he noticed a new message on Tianming's blog.

'The blogger you follow, Miss Pink Fairy, has posted a new tweet!'

Ellie?

Out of curiosity, I clicked on it, and soon the details of the tweet appeared on the screen.

'I had a really, really, really happy holiday! Love you!~'

The photo below shows two people sitting on the rocks, their backs blurred, while dazzling fireworks bloom in the boundless night sky.

The news about this fairy lady, which came half a month later, immediately caused an uproar in the comments section.

Chapter Sixty: My Old Trade

Is this the surprise Ellie was talking about?

With Ai Li's words in mind, Nangong Yu smiled and clicked to save the picture.

I must say, it does feel pretty good, but there's something strange about it.

"The story of a superstar with millions of fans who is actually my lover behind the scenes?"

His mind was wandering when a soft voice slowly sounded in his ear.

"Brother, are those you and Sister Aili up there?"

Looking at the fireworks filling the sky, Xi'er suddenly understood something. Her curious expression turned into a rather resentful look. She stuck her little head out and stood between her brother and the phone, staring at him with her little blue eyes.

"...Ahem, I think so."

His gaze suddenly became somewhat unfocused, darting left and right, which made Seele even more dissatisfied. She puffed out her cheeks, hugged herself tightly, and was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"what."

Bronya, who was standing nearby, was puzzled and immediately leaned over, looking on with a puzzled expression.

"Sister Bronya, brother... oh no!!!"

Before she could finish her complaint, Seele felt a strong force strike her waist, and her body was instantly lifted into the air.

"Ah, I feel so hungry! Seele, let's go cook!"

With that, Nangong Yu braced himself on the ground, hoisted Seele, who was clinging to him tightly, onto his shoulder, and rushed out of the room while Bronya was still in a daze.

"Hey, wait!"

Bronya had just reached out Erkang's hand when all she saw was a tightly closed door.

"..."

......

After dinner, they rested all night to recharge, and the next morning, Nangong Yu and Bronya appeared at the studio.

"Alright, we've rested for so long, let's get to work, let's get to work!"

Stretching lazily, Nangong Yu twisted her neck and turned on the computer.

"I've finished the basic movements for the little knight. How's your progress?"

"Have Hatsune help me open the various files for Hollow Knight?" Nangong Yu turned to Bronya and said.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bronya, who had been full of enthusiasm, fell silent. She opened her mouth, but her confident expression immediately drooped, and she weakly replied, "Um... I haven't finished any of them?"

I thought Nangong Yu would be angry, or show disappointment or mockery, but to my surprise, he just nodded casually: "If you can finish this kind of action game so quickly, I'll be surprised."

As for the previous Arahatto α?

The only redeeming qualities are the cool mechs and the level design is somewhat interesting, but the animation quality is truly atrocious.

Then, Nangong Yu softened her voice: "I just wanted to see how your progress is. Let's work together right away."

As she spoke, Hatsune Miku opened the necessary files and stood in the corner of the screen, waving a green onion to show off.

I clicked on Hatsune Miku's head with the mouse, and her cute big head immediately beamed with a happy expression.

"Well, I see."

This response relieved Bronya, and she subconsciously leaned a little closer to Nangong Yu. Turning her head, she happened to see him checking the various movements of the little knight she had designed.

With curiosity and a desire to learn, Bronya began to read carefully.

I don't know how Nangong Yu adjusted it, but the little knight's movements looked incredibly smooth, even smoother than Dove chocolate, but...

"Isn't the little knight supposed to be the main character of this game?"

Bronya asked, puzzled.

"correct."

With her eyes still fixed on the computer screen, Nangong Yu nodded.

"Then, isn't his movement a bit too minimal?"

Frowning, Bronya voiced her doubts.

"Is it too little? I think it's enough."

After reviewing the movements and confirming that everything was correct, Nangong Yu turned his attention to Bronya.

"While adding too much can certainly make things look fancy, sometimes subtraction can also bring a different kind of enjoyment."

Subtraction?

"You'll get to experience it for yourself then."

No need for tedious stacking; perfecting simple actions can still be popular.

However, speaking of this, Nangong Yu suddenly remembered a joke.

A veteran Hollow Knight player instructs a new player: "This is movement, this is jumping, this is attacking. Okay, you've learned all the controls. Now let's challenge the easy Mantis Lord!"

"Oh......"

Noticing Bronya's thoughtful expression, Nangong Yu moved closer to her and pointed to her screen: "Put up the models of those monsters first, I'll show them to you."

The morning then passed in the clatter of mouse and keyboard and the two of them discussing. Bronya watched as the models she was responsible for improved, and the positive feedback she received was so great that she couldn't stop. Work itself seemed to become a pleasure.

Bronya only reluctantly stopped what she was doing and sat up from her chair after Seele angrily urged her to eat lunch for the third time.

Watching Nangong Yu and Seele chatting and laughing side by side, Bronya licked her lips, her eyes burning with desire.

I really want to squeeze the rain dry, to absorb all of his thoughts and abilities into my own mind.

After dinner, she continued working until evening before finally relaxing and stopping.

"rest?"

"Don't you understand the importance of balancing work and rest? I don't want us to develop occupational diseases like backaches and muscle soreness."

Especially his kidneys, we must protect them well!
