My mobile game wife came knocking.

Ye Ming suddenly felt sorry for the girl.

Okay, Ye Ming admits that he was indeed influenced by the girl's beauty.

However, this is understandable. After all, who wouldn't like a pretty, cute, proactive, and enthusiastic girl?

After adding the girl as a friend and saying goodbye, Ye Ming walked over to Lafite and Fu Hua with breakfast and said, "The restaurant is full and we can't get a seat. Let's go back and eat."

“Oh.” Raffi nodded obediently, but Fu Hua did not react.

"Fu Hua? Fu Hua!?"

Ye Ming called out twice and noticed that Fu Hua was staring blankly at the breakfast shop for some reason, with a strange expression.

"What's wrong? Did you run into someone you know?"

Ye Ming waved his hand in front of Fu Hua's eyes.

"No, I'm probably just a little tired from getting off the plane," Fu Hua shook her head. "Who was that girl just now? Your friend?"

"We're not exactly friends yet." Ye Ming didn't think much of it. "I met her twice yesterday. She's a very accurate cosplayer and a huge Yae Sakura fan. I just added her as a friend and we agreed to play games together and complain about the game developers sometime."

Ye Ming couldn't help but smile when he recalled the girl's confident and proud demeanor when she said, "No one understands Yae Sakura better than me."

"Hmm, she's a pretty girl, a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and quite interesting."

"Really? Is that interesting?"

Fu Hua glanced at the breakfast shop, then looked away. As if suddenly remembering something, she released Lafite's hand and said to Ye Ming, "I suddenly remembered that I need to make a phone call. You take Lafite home first, and I'll go back after I finish my call."

"Oh." Ye Ming nodded without asking any further questions. "Then I'll go back with Raffi first. I'll put your food in a thermal container."

"Ah."

Fu Hua took out her phone, swiped the screen as if looking for a number, and immediately put the phone away after Ye Ming left, striding towards the breakfast shop.

Almost at the same moment Fu Hua took a step, the door of the breakfast shop was pushed open from the inside, and a girl named Yae Sakura walked out of the shop, stood on the steps, crossed her arms, held her head high, and looked down at Fu Hua.

Chapter 19: Please rely more on the Commander.

Fu Hua stared coldly at Yae Sakura, who had her arms crossed over her chest. Observing Yae Sakura's ample bosom, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she said expressionlessly, "I really didn't expect that the shrine maiden, the Valkyrie who once fought against the Honkai, Yae Sakura, would also act coquettishly. It's truly astonishing."

Yae Sakura's cheeks flushed slightly. In fact, she was startled by herself just now. She never expected that she could act cute like a normal girl.

Even though the object of her affection was someone she liked, Yae Sakura was still a little shy and awkward.

But in the end, the reason she was in such a hurry, and the person who pushed her to this point, wasn't it Fu Hua?

Therefore, despite feeling a little awkward and shy inside, Yae Sakura remained unmoved on the surface, and even retorted without hesitation when faced with Fu Hua's teasing.

"I never expected that Fu Hua, who once protected China, was of noble character and meticulous in her work, would also resort to scheming and playing the emotional card to win people's favor."

Yae Sakura was referring to Fu Hua's behavior in the bedroom.

“I remember, back in the Hyperion, sometimes when the captain was slacking off on deck, our Immortal Fu Hua would warn him without hesitation not to relax. And when the captain was alone on deck, if he stayed for too long, our Immortal Fu Hua would ask him, ‘The mission is already complete, are you staying here to learn martial arts?’…”

"Speaking of changes, my changes are nothing compared to those of Immortal Fu Hua."

"So what?" Fu Hua looked at Yae Sakura calmly, her eyes unwavering. "Now that things have come to this, do you still have a chance to beat me?"

"you!"

Yae Sakura took a deep breath.

"I never expected that I wouldn't be the only Valkyrie to come to this world, and I certainly didn't expect that you would arrive so long before me. But do you think you've already won, Fu Hua?"

At this point, Yae Sakura paused deliberately, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

"If the Herald of Knowledge were to come to this world, who do you think would be more favored by him, you or the Herald of Knowledge?"

…………

"Commander, Fu Hua is hiding something from you."

As the door opened, Laffey tugged at Ye Ming's hand, "Is it really okay that the Commander isn't asking anything?"

"It's ok."

Even Laffey could tell that Fu Hua was not in a good state, so how could Ye Ming not notice? He was just pretending not to notice.

“Fu Hua and I grew up together and we understand each other’s personalities. I know that Fu Hua is not in a good state, but I pretend not to notice. Fu Hua also knows that I have noticed that she is not in a good state, but she pretends not to know that I have noticed that she is not in a good state. This can be considered as a tacit understanding that we have developed since childhood.”

Ye Ming explained with a smile: "Even the closest people have secrets they don't want the other to know, and they will keep things from each other. This is human nature. Of course, if we encounter any difficulties, I believe Fu Hua wouldn't be foolish enough to hide it from me. She would definitely tell me. If I were in her shoes, I would do the same."

"Lafite doesn't quite understand."

Laffey looked up at Ye Ming with a confused expression: "Laffey has no secrets from the Commander. As long as it is the Commander's order, Laffey will obey unconditionally and willingly. As long as the Commander wants to know something, Laffey will tell the Commander without reservation."

Laffey pressed her cheek against Ye Ming's palm and rubbed it gently: "Laffey isn't human, she's a ship girl. Ship girls are the Commander's private property. Laffey and everyone in the port think that way."

What else could Ye Ming say?

He was deeply moved by little Laffi, squatted down and hugged Laffi tightly, rubbing his face against Laffi's cheek.

However, Raffi hadn't finished speaking.

"So, even if she knows the commander is lying, Laffey will pretend not to know, because Laffey doesn't want to cause trouble for her favorite commander, and doesn't want to put the commander in a difficult position..."

Raffi's voice choked up a little: "Actually, actually the wedding dress is not important at all. Actually, actually, it doesn't matter if Raffi doesn't have a wedding dress. Raffi, Raffi is not sad at all."

"Commander, Laffey, Laffey doesn't want the wedding dress anymore."

"Lafite".

Ye Ming was stunned. He recognized the little girl's sobbing voice and quickly released Lafite. He then noticed tears welling up in the little girl's wine-red eyes.

This broke Ye Ming's heart.

Ye Ming then realized that Raffi had already seen through his perfunctory attitude, but the sensible little girl had been pretending not to know anything. When Raffi said he wanted him to buy her wedding dress while they were waiting for the elevator, it was probably the little girl's first and last test. Because she saw his troubles, Raffi immediately gave up on the wedding dress.

The significance of a wedding dress to a girl is self-evident. Even for a naive young girl like Raffi, a wedding dress is extremely important.

So, when little Raffi came into this world and met Ye Ming, her first and only wish was for Ye Ming to buy her a wedding dress again.

Because her wedding dress may never be seen again in the Azure world.

Realizing this, Ye Ming thought of even more details.

Having come to this strange world alone, Laffey must miss his companions in the port. Yet, Laffey has never mentioned looking for his former companions, nor has he ever said he wanted to return to his old world. The reason for this, besides wanting to stay with Ye Ming, is probably because Laffey feels that he can never go back.

Because she felt she couldn't go back, she didn't want her commander to overthink things or feel awkward. That's why, when Ye Ming asked her a question, Laffey said things like, "It won't be long before everyone finds the commander, reunites, stays by the commander's side, and rebuilds the port."

At the time, Ye Ming was shocked by Laffey's serious tone and subconsciously thought of the girls who were wandering around the world searching for the commander. But now, thinking back, Laffey's firm tone was not so much an answer to Ye Ming, but also a way of giving herself confidence.

However, because she didn't want to put pressure on the commander, Raffi never mentioned these things to Ye Ming.

This is the ship girl, this is Laffey.

What a burden these elves are!

They don't compete or fight, they don't argue or make a fuss, they just silently accompany you, rely on you and protect you, yet they always manage to win your heart unintentionally, quietly occupy the most important place in your heart, heal your soul, and make you feel that heavy affection while also feeling the heavy responsibility on your shoulders.

For some reason, Ye Ming, a seasoned adult working stiff who had been tempered by society, felt a lump in his throat and his voice choked up uncontrollably.

That's so embarrassing.

"Laffey, the Commander assures you, I will choose the most beautiful wedding dress for you and then personally put it on you."

Ye Ming hugged Raffi.

"I'm sorry, Laffey. Please forgive the Commander. From now on, please rely on the Commander more."

Chapter Twenty: Not a Lolicon

Ye Ming wasn't one to procrastinate. Since he was determined to buy Raffi a wedding dress, he wanted to do it as soon as possible.

Since it was the weekend, Ye Ming decided that after having breakfast and settling Fu Hua in, he would take Raffi to a nearby wedding dress shop.

Of course, although it's a wedding ship, Lafite is still a little girl. If she's a little girl, there probably aren't any ready-made wedding dresses specially made for her in the bridal shop, right?

Therefore, it's highly likely that Lafite's wedding dress will need to be custom-made.

Of course, to avoid being mistaken for a pervert and arrested by the shop assistant, Ye Ming had also come up with a reason—the wedding dress was for Lafite to use for cosplay.

That way, they can successfully escape punishment.

Ye Ming felt a little uneasy, but appeared calm on the surface.

"Laffey, after breakfast, the Commander will take you to order a new wedding dress."

Ye Ming made a serious promise.

Lafite was stunned for a long time before she reacted after receiving the promise. The little girl happily tiptoed and gave Ye Ming a kiss on the face. Her tearful face revealed a sweet smile that warmed people's hearts.

"Thank you, Commander! Laffey loves you the most, Commander!"

"The Commander also likes Laffey the most."

Little Raffi was very happy, and Ye Ming, who received the reward, was also very happy. He reached out and wiped away the tears on Raffi's face, then opened the door.

Upon entering the living room, Ye Ming placed breakfast on the coffee table and let Lafite eat first. He then went into the bedroom to open the windows for ventilation.

But when Ye Ming entered the bedroom, he discovered that the bedroom window was half open.

Strange? Did I open the window? I don't think so.

Could it be that it was opened by Lafite or Fu Hua?

A question flashed through Ye Ming's mind, but he didn't dwell on it.

He pulled the curtains tighter, closed the half-open window a little smaller, turned around to make the bed, and then left the bedroom.

But when Ye Ming reached the bedroom door, he noticed a wet patch on the floor behind the door, scattered like drops of water falling onto the floor.

Is it leaking?

Ye Ming frowned, looked up and carefully examined the ceiling, but there were no signs of leakage.

Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, mopped the floor clean, and returned to the living room.

On the sofa in the living room, Raffi was leaning against the back of the sofa, hugging a cushion, with his chin resting on the cushion, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep again.

Little Lafite always looks adorably sleepy.

"Hey? Why aren't you eating?" Ye Ming asked curiously, noticing that the breakfast on the coffee table was still unopened.
