My mobile game wife came knocking.

My mobile game wife is coming to my door! (Author: Pigeons Aren't Good)

Summary:

Ye Ming was a mobile game player who had quit the game for a long time. On this day, when he went out in the morning to start his unchanging 996 life, a purple-haired girl who played Genshin Impact suddenly struck up a conversation with him on the subway and asked him for his opinion on the character Keqing.

As he exited the subway, he saw a sickly, cherry-haired girl wearing a haori (a traditional Japanese garment) and coughing violently against the wall at the subway entrance. Opposite the girl was a cosplayer dressed as a shrine maiden, also with cherry-haired hair and a pair of long, thin fox ears on her head.

On his way home from get off work, he passed by a comic convention and was stopped by a pretty and cute little cosplayer. "Excuse me, are you Ye Ming?" she asked, wearing adorable bunny ears.

Chapter 1: Finally Found You!

"My sword shines like my blade, slicing through every piece of beef offal!"

In the quiet carriage, the sudden sound attracted attention. Ye Ming turned his head and glanced at the girl next to him who was playing on her phone.

The girl entered the subway with Ye Ming and sat down next to him. She kept her head down, playing on her phone. Because she was wearing a large mask and her head was covered by the hood of her cotton coat, Ye Ming couldn't see her face. He could only see a few strands of long purple hair sticking out of the hood, her almost unreal white skin, and a pair of beautiful purple eyes. She was probably a cosplayer who had put on makeup and was preparing to attend a comic convention, but he didn't expect her to be a Genshin Impact player.

"Sorry, I accidentally turned off the mute function." The girl noticed Ye Ming's gaze and explained quietly while holding her phone.

"It's alright." Ye Ming was surprised by the girl's politeness and, feeling a sense of goodwill, asked, "You play Genshin Impact too?"

"Oh? You play too?" the girl asked in surprise.

"I played it for a while, but I quit a long time ago."

"Why did you quit? Did you find it uninteresting?" the girl asked.

"It's not that it's not fun, it's just that, well, I guess it's because I'm getting older and busy with work. I don't have as much energy as I did when I was a student. Playing games has gone from being very enthusiastic at the beginning to just using up my stamina as a daily routine, and then I logged in less and less until I finally quit."

"I see." Perhaps finding a shared interest piqued the girl's interest. Her beautiful purple eyes fixed on Ye Ming, and she excitedly asked, "So, which character in Genshin Impact do you like the most? Keqing?"

Is this girl a Keqing fan?

Recalling the voice message from earlier, and looking at the girl's incredibly high-quality purple wig and purple contact lenses, Ye Ming suddenly realized what was going on.

"My favorite character is definitely Keqing. She's used a lot in the open world."

Ye Ming was telling the truth.

"why?"

Seemingly because she had found a kindred spirit, the girl's eyes curved into crescents with joy. "Don't many people talk about Keqing's gua sha? Why do you still use it so often?"

Of course, it's because Keqing is very cute, her black stockings and beautiful legs are very sexy, and her butt is perky. She looks pleasing to the eye when she's running, climbing, and gliding around the world. Just like many people chose Yingmei over her brother.

If Ye Ming were chatting with friends online, he would definitely give the above reasons without hesitation. But this is reality, and he is facing a strange girl. It is definitely not appropriate to say such reasons directly.

"It's probably because of my personality."

Ye Ming thought for a moment and said seriously, "Ke Qing is of noble birth but has no arrogance. She is straightforward and unpretentious. As the person closest to the gods, she never places too much hope on them. She is self-reliant, serious, and strict with herself. Even if she is not that pretty, a girl like her would definitely be liked by many people."

"What if she changes? What if she suddenly experiences a huge upheaval, suddenly loses someone of utmost importance, and then realizes that things like career and human self-reliance might not be the most important compared to that person? Would you still like Ke Qing then?"

Ye Ming wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the girl's tone was a little nervous.

"What does this mean? Is this a new storyline recently released in Genshin Impact?"

Ye Ming was a little confused. Just as he was about to say something, the carriage slowly came to a stop, and the announcement of the station came over the loudspeaker.

"Excuse me, I have to go now, or I'll be late for work."

Ye Ming smiled apologetically at the girl, then got up and left the carriage.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough..."

As soon as Ye Ming exited the subway station, he was startled by a series of abnormal coughs next to him. He subconsciously took a few more steps before turning around to look.

Next to the exit, a cherry-haired girl wearing a haori was leaning against the wall, hunched over, and coughing violently. Passersby were so frightened that they all avoided her. The staff member wearing an armband at the entrance ran towards the girl with a serious expression.

"Cough cough... I... cough... I'm fine, it's an old ailment, it'll be alright, I'll rest for a while and then... cough, cough cough... oh!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. After spitting out the blood, the girl miraculously recovered her spirits, her cough disappeared, her back straightened, and her complexion returned to normal.

But the middle-aged man wearing an armband had already blocked the girl's way.

"Girl, you're cosplaying Okita Souji, right? The sickly look is pretty good, but cosplay is one thing, doing this in public is..."

The uncle even knew about Okita Souji.

Ye Ming glanced at the incredibly accurate cosplayer a couple more times. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed another cosplayer across the street with equally high accuracy. The only difference was that the cosplayer across the street had gorgeous long cherry blossom hair, wore a pink shrine maiden outfit, and had a pair of animal ears on her head that looked like either fox ears or donkey ears, in addition to normal human ears.

The cosplayers this time are really good! Should I go to the convention after get off work at noon?

Thinking this, Ye Ming started walking hurriedly towards the office building across the street. If he didn't leave soon, he would really be late for work.

The morning seemed to drag on forever. Finally, it was lunchtime, and Ye Ming declined his colleague's offer to use a coupon to order takeout for him instead, and went to the comic convention.

Since it was noon, there weren't many people queuing to buy tickets outside the venue. Ye Ming easily bought a ticket. Just as he was about to queue to enter, a sweet, childish voice suddenly rang out behind him, sounding like someone who hadn't woken up yet and wasn't very energetic.

"Um~ Excuse me, are you Ye Ming?"

Ye Ming turned around and found a small girl, or rather a little girl, standing behind him. The little girl had her long white hair tied into a cute ponytail with adorable bunny ear hair clips. She was wearing a loose dress and a red cotton coat, white knee-high socks, and bunny ear cotton slippers.

Right now, the little girl was yawning lazily as if she hadn't woken up yet, while staring intently at Ye Ming, her ruby-red eyes, as beautiful as rubies, were faintly filled with tears.

Being stared at by the little girl with those eyes, Ye Ming felt a strange sense of guilt.

"Um, you are..."

"I'm your wife."

The little girl rushed up and hugged Ye Ming, her arms tightly around his waist, her face buried in his chest, her tears soaking his shirt.

"Benson-class destroyer Laffey is at your command... Commander, we've finally found you."

Chapter Two: Brother, Commander, Husband

The little girl cried sadly in Ye Ming's arms. Ye Ming, who was not a lolicon, felt very flustered, especially with the strange looks from the crowd queuing to enter the venue, which made him feel even more pressured.

Generally speaking, if a girl suddenly appears on the street and pounces on you, even if she's a little girl still in her early teens, most people's first reaction would be to think it's a prank or an attempt to scam you. To avoid trouble, pushing her away to prevent being entangled is the most sensible choice.

Having worked for several years, Ye Ming was past the age of impulsiveness. Having learned from his mistakes, he had learned to refuse unreasonable requests from colleagues in an appropriate manner and could naturally and smoothly hand over large shopping cards when maintaining customer relationships. But at this moment, for some reason, he just couldn't bring himself to push away the crying little girl.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. Can you tell your brother what happened? You have to tell me so your brother can help you." Ye Ming patted the little girl's back comfortingly and asked softly.

"No, Laffey... Laffey is just too happy."

As if afraid that Ye Ming would disappear immediately if she let go, the little girl clung tightly to Ye Ming's waist with both hands, buried her face in Ye Ming's chest, and sobbed intermittently, "No... not brother, it's commander, it's husband. Laffey is the commander's first marriage ship. Only Unicorn would accept the commander's ring and keep calling the commander brother."

The little girl's tone and expression were very serious, as if she really was the destroyer Laffey in the game, which made Ye Ming chuckle.

Ye Ming looked up and around, but couldn't find the prank team hiding to the side filming. After thinking for a moment, he could only patiently explain, "The term 'marriage ship' is just a game term. Although I don't know how someone your age knows about marriage ships and Laffey, games are games and reality is reality. You can't confuse the two."

"Your brother is still unmarried, so you're not his wife yet. You're still young and can't get married. There are some things you have to wait until you grow up to do."

While talking, Ye Ming looked around, but still couldn't find the filming crew. After thinking for a moment, he simply asked, "Little sister, can you tell me who made you do this? Where are the family members who are helping you cosplay?"

"Family? The Commander is Laffey's most important family member, isn't he?"

The little girl didn't quite understand what Ye Ming meant. She looked up at him in confusion, and only after noticing his innocent expression did she realize that she had forgotten something very important.

"Oh! I forgot to mention, Laffey isn't cosplaying, Laffey is a real ship girl! Laffey is the Benson-class destroyer USS Laffey, and she's the Commander's first marriage ship!"

"If you don't believe me, just look!"

Seemingly aware that such an explanation was not convincing, the little girl who called herself Raffi kicked Ye Ming's calf with her little feet, which were wearing rabbit-ear cotton slippers. Only after Ye Ming's gaze focused on her feet did she gently step on the ground.

The marble floor groaned under the weight, and several cracks slowly appeared from the little girl's footing, one of which even extended directly to Ye Ming's feet.

Ye Ming was startled by the little girl's kick. He stared at her in astonishment and then realized that her appearance was excessively exquisite. Her exposed skin was as clear and translucent as the finest porcelain, without the slightest flaw. Her wine-red eyes were as clear and bright as rubies, and her white hair shone with a satin-like luster. Could makeup techniques such as foundation, wigs, and colored contact lenses really achieve such an effect?

Even though the little girl seems half-asleep and listless when she talks or cries, this doesn't make her unpleasant; on the contrary, it makes her even cuter.

Isn't this just like Lafite in the game?

"Lafite?"

Ye Ming's brain isn't quite working properly.

"Yes, it's Laffey. If you don't believe me, Commander, Laffey can also deploy her ship equipment and fire shells." Laffey's voice was still not very energetic, but as she spoke, she raised her right hand, as if she was about to fire a cannon at any moment.

"stop!"

Startled by Laffey's actions, Ye Ming quickly grabbed Laffey's hand and looked around to make sure that the people who had been queuing had gone into the anime convention area and that no one was around before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you really Laffey? The destroyer Laffey?" Ye Ming held Laffey's small hand, which was warm and soft. It was hard to imagine that the owner of the hand was a warship that had once sailed the oceans.

"It's Lafite." Lafite, with tears still on her face, yawned. She made no attempt to pull her hand away from Ye Ming's. With her other hand, she grabbed the hem of Ye Ming's shirt and leaned lazily against him, looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Ye Ming could sense Lafite's closeness to him.

A few years ago, when Ye Ming started playing Azur Lane, his initial ship was Laffey, and he quickly reached 100 affection points. Later, he got the ring, and his first ship to marry was Laffey. Laffey was also Ye Ming's first ship to reach 200 affection points.

Of course, Ye Ming is not a lolicon; it's just that his marriage ship happens to be a loli.

As Ye Ming spent more time playing the game, he acquired more and more powerful ships. However, in Ye Ming's heart, Laffey, who accompanied him through the beginner stage, always remained a very special figure.

However, a game is just a game. In the game, the commander is the heart of many ship girls and a hero in the fight against the Sirens. He can easily max out the ship girls' affection. But reality is different and requires consideration of many more things.

Ye Ming had many things he didn't understand and many questions he wanted to ask, but when he looked down and saw Lafite in his arms, all his worries vanished.

Little Raffi, with one hand held by him and the other tightly gripping the hem of his shirt, leaned against him, her eyes half-open and half-closed, her little head nodding, about to drift off to sleep.

Completely unprepared.

"Would you like to live with me, Raffi?" Ye Ming invited the little girl.

"Hmm~?" Raffi rubbed his eyes, looked up at Ye Ming, and didn't understand why he would ask such a strange question.

Ye Ming smiled.

"Let me make it clear beforehand that Azur Lane is just a game to me. I have memories of Laffey in the game, but I have absolutely no details about our daily interactions or anything like that. So today is the first time Laffey and I have met. If Laffey has any thoughts in the future, she must tell me directly."

"Actually, Laffey doesn't remember much about the past, but ship girls are inherently unreasonable beings. In Laffey's eyes, only life with the commander has meaning. So, as long as she is with her favorite commander, Laffey is the happiest Laffey."

After a long separation, Raffi made a bold declaration that was quite out of character for her.

“Then, Princess Raffi, please come home with me. I still have many things to ask you.” Ye Ming extended his hand to Raffi.

Lafite didn't move.

She looked down at the bunny-ear slippers on her right foot: "Because of the Commander, Laffey's shoes are broken."
