"of course can."

Ye Ming naturally tried his best to fulfill the little girl's trivial request: "Lafie can eat whatever she wants."

"Then chocolate-covered liqueurs will definitely work too!" Lafite exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, of course not!"

Ye Ming almost got tricked by the little girl. "Lafite is too young to drink alcohol."

"But chocolate-filled liqueurs are chocolate, not liqueurs," Lafite blinked her big eyes, trying to get away with it.

"That's not OK."

Ye Ming refused firmly, but noticing the little girl's pitiful eyes, he softened a bit: "Lafite, when we were in the port area, did the companies let you eat chocolate-covered liquor?"

“Mmm.” Laffey nodded emphatically, his rabbit ears bobbing on his head. “Both Enterprise and Lexington allow Laffey to eat chocolate, and Belfast even brings Laffey chocolate from other places when she goes on expeditions.”

"So, do the companies allow you to drink?" Ye Ming asked casually.

“You…you’re not allowed.” Raffi gripped Ye Ming’s hand, his eyes darting towards the ground.

"..."

Ye Ming remained silent.

Raffi lowered his head even further, his big eyes filled with disappointment and sadness.

Ye Ming sighed helplessly.

"Okay, liqueur-filled chocolates it is, but you're not allowed to eat too many, and you're absolutely not allowed to secretly drink alcohol."

"I love the Commander the most!"

Seeing the little girl's happy expression, Ye Ming couldn't help but smile.

Even though I know Laffey's little secret, as a commander, it's sometimes really hard to be heartless and disappoint such a lovely Laffey.

However, ship girls are born spirits, unlike ordinary humans or other extraordinary beings. Unlike the extraordinary beings in fantasy works, ship girls are awakened by the commander using the Mind Cube. Although theoretically each ship girl will be influenced by history, legends, the commander, and other factors to form different personalities, most ship girls are naturally kind spirits. Even if there are a few truly yandere or war-crazed ship girls, they can be satisfied and become quiet as long as they stay by the commander's side.

Therefore, as long as the commander's thoughts and life are not compromised, the ship girls will also be fine.

As extraordinary life forms, ship girls' physical structure is naturally different from that of ordinary humans. Although they have a much more perfect and beautiful appearance than ordinary people, and even the feel of their bodies is no different from that of humans, in reality, ship girls have greater strength and firepower than large ships and giant cannons.

Even the small Laffey is not comparable to an ordinary destroyer.

So even though Lafite looks like a little girl, there's no need to treat it like one in every way. Be careful when drinking it, but chocolate liqueurs are fine.

I wonder if ship girls can have children with humans? If they can, will the children be human or ship girls?

A strange thought suddenly popped into Ye Ming's mind. He wanted to ask Raffi, but he felt that asking a little girl such a question was a bit too bizarre. After thinking about it, he decided to suppress his curiosity for the time being.

Never mind, I'll ask again if the marriage ship comes to this world in the future.

No, since it's a wedding ship, it's okay to ask questions and try things out at the same time, right?

With unrealistic thoughts swirling in his mind, Ye Ming stopped in his tracks as he passed a mobile phone store.

He suddenly realized that he should get Raffi a cell phone. With a cell phone, he could contact Raffi anytime while he was at work.

Without hesitation, Ye Ming decided to act. Since he hadn't yet figured out a solution to Raffi's identity problem, after buying Raffi a mobile phone, Ye Ming went online to Bilibili and used his own ID card to get Raffi a small TV card.

"Lafite, do you know how to use a cell phone?"

When Ye Ming handed the phone, which didn't have a SIM card yet, to Raffi, he suddenly realized the problem.

“Yes, I do.” Laffey nodded, took the phone, skillfully unlocked the screen, and set a password. “Back in the port area, Ming often carried around a big box of phones to sell, and even the submariners all had waterproof phones. Of course, Laffey knows how to use one.”

Laffey fiddled with the settings for a while and then looked at the sky-blue wallpaper on her phone screen. She thought for a moment, grabbed Ye Ming's hand and pulled him down forcefully: "Commander, squat down, squat down quickly. Laffey wants to take a picture with the Commander. Laffey wants to use the picture as her wallpaper."

The little girl's first reaction after getting the phone was to use a photo of herself with the commander as her wallpaper. This touched and pleased Ye Ming, and he cooperated by squatting down in front of the camera.

Laffey moved closer to Ye Ming, her little face pressed tightly against his profile. While adjusting the camera angle, the little girl directed Ye Ming: "Commander, move a little closer to Laffey, um, even closer, smile, make a bright smile, make a gesture, make a gesture."

"Okay, that's it, stay still, look at the camera, get ready—"

Splat~

The camera flashed, and Ye Ming's cheek seemed to be touched by something soft and wet.

Ye Ming froze. He turned his head and saw that Lafite had already distanced himself from him and was happily setting his wallpaper. Ye Ming glanced at the phone screen; the wallpaper was a picture of a little girl kissing him. In the photo, he was making a victory sign with a smile, a hint of surprise just appearing in his eyes, while the little girl kissing him had a blissful smile. The afternoon sun shone on them, draping them in a layer of warm orange veil.

Staring at the two people in the wallpaper, Ye Ming was momentarily lost in thought.

"Commander, would you like to use this as your wallpaper too?"

Raffi held the phone up to him, looking at him expectantly.

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiang tried to remain calm after regaining his senses.

I've been charmed by a little girl again.

My Lafite, you are truly my angel.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bride

After personally changing Ye Ming's phone background to match her own, Raffi, satisfied, finally returned the phone to Ye Ming and started fiddling with her own.

Although the phone didn't have a SIM card inserted, Raffi successfully connected to the world's network for the first time through the Wi-Fi hotspot set up on Ye Ming's phone, immersing himself in the fun of developing the new world.

While holding Raffi's hand to prevent the little girl from running into a pillar and breaking it, or walking into the road and causing a car accident, Ye Ming kept glancing at Raffi's phone screen to prevent her from accidentally clicking on some strange websites that might affect her mental health. At the same time, he was also silently thinking about some problems that were right in front of him.

First, there's the issue of Raffi's identity. Ye Ming currently has no clue about this. After all, the household registration system in this country is quite strict, and it's already difficult to give a legal identity to someone who suddenly appears out of nowhere. In addition, Raffi's conspicuous physical features, especially his white hair, make it even more difficult to obtain identification.

Ye Ming had no prior experience in this area and could only ask knowledgeable friends for advice to see if there were any solutions.

Secondly, there's the issue of work and Lafite.

Although Laffey is adorable and Ye Ming longs to stay by her side, the Ye Ming of the real world is not a commander in the Azur Lane game. Without the military funding support in the game, he has to work hard to earn money.

Weekends are fine, but leaving Raffi alone at home on weekdays is obviously not a good idea. However, sending Raffi to school raises two concerns: firstly, her immigration status hasn't been resolved, and secondly, Ye Ming isn't comfortable with that.

If Ayanami, Z23, and Javelin Swan could also come to this world, then Laffey would have companions.

Although he thought so, Ye Ming also knew that relying on this was unrealistic.

The only thing Ye Ming can think of right now is to develop a freelance career with flexible hours and a reasonable income as soon as possible, so that he can work from home while spending time with Raffi.

Online novel authors and content creators would be a good fit.

However, it is much more difficult to make money and achieve a stable income in these two industries than in normal industries. You can't rush it; you can only take it slowly.

Currently, all I can do is try to broaden my income sources while working hard to earn more money.

Actually, on Bilibili, if Ye Ming were willing to film his daily life with Raffi, he could probably gain quite a few fans. However, Ye Ming has no such plans. Secondly, it would be nice to have Raffi wear a Raffi costume and become a Vtuber. Raffi becoming Raffi's Vtuber sounds very interesting.

Furthermore, Raffi's voice is lazy and has a high degree of similarity to the voice of the loli dragon Kanna from the anime "Miss Dragon Maid". With such a distinctive and cute voice, she should be able to become popular as a VTuber.

Using a leather case made of Lafite to cover Lafite is likely an infringement of intellectual property rights, so it's best not to try it.

And most importantly, Ye Ming felt a little strange about letting a little girl earn money.

Using money earned from a young girl to support another young girl sounds very strange. Wouldn't that make him a freeloader?

Ye Ming couldn't accept it. He didn't like being a kept man, especially a little girl.

Well, we have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. There's no need to ignore the people around us because we're in too much of a hurry. After all, we have a long road ahead of us, don't we?

Thinking this, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, holding Raffi's hand with one hand and taking out his phone from his pocket with the other to check the navigation.

Just turn the corner at the next intersection, and you'll reach the wedding dress shop he found online with pretty good reviews.

Just as Ye Ming was waiting at the intersection for the red light, a surprised voice came from behind him: "Hey? It's you? What a coincidence."

Ye Ming turned around and found a girl in a business suit, black stockings, and black high-heeled shoes staring at her in surprise. The girl was wearing purple contact lenses and had long, beautiful purple hair.

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was the Genshin Impact cosplayer he had met on the subway yesterday.

"It's you?"

Ye Ming was also surprised; he hadn't expected that the cosplayer who dressed up as Keqing was also a working professional.

"Surprised, aren't you?" The girl seemed to have guessed Ye Ming's thoughts and said with a smile, "I didn't expect I was a white-collar worker? But cosplay is indeed one of my hobbies."

As she said this, the girl glanced at Raffi, who was holding hands with Ye Ming, and asked, "I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we would bump into each other here. Are you out playing with your sister?"

"Ah."

Ye Ming responded, not wanting to say more, but thinking of the girl's identity as a cosplayer, he had an idea and added, "The main reason I came out this time is to bring my sister a custom-made cosplay outfit."

"Cosplay outfit? What type?"

The girl pressed for more details, seemingly very interested.

"Lafite Bride".

Ye Ming remained calm and composed, speaking in a flat tone.

The girl froze. She looked at Raffi, then at Ye Ming, her eyes widening in surprise. Then, her surprise turned into a smile: "What a coincidence! I'm also planning to order a cosplay outfit. Have you found a store yet? Want to go together?"

"Not yet." Ye Ming shook his head, his expression calm, but he was secretly delighted. "Actually, I don't have much experience in this area. If you don't mind the trouble, it would be best if we went together. We could also get some advice from you, a professional."

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary cosplay enthusiast," the girl said with a smile. "Since we're so destined to meet, let's cosplay together. I happen to know a pretty professional and affordable little shop."

"Thank you so much." Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily. "By the way, I haven't asked you what kind of cosplay you're going to do yet, is it still Keqing?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded and smiled, "This time, it's Kagami Keqing."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Liyue International

"Bride Keqing? Has Genshin Impact released a skin system?"

Ye Ming was a little surprised. When he quit the game, Hu Tao had just been released, and he hadn't even heard of the skin system.

"No, I just came up with it myself."

The girl walked side by side with Ye Ming, with Raffi sandwiched between them, looking like a family of three going out for a walk. "Don't you think a girl as pretty as Keqing would look amazing in a wedding dress? At least much better than Ningguang and Ganyu."

Actually, I think Gan Yu's wedding dress must be amazing.

Although he thought so, considering that the girl next to him was a Keqing fan and he would need her to buy a wedding dress for Laffey as a cover later, Ye Ming could only nod in agreement: "I also think Keqing would look beautiful in a wedding dress, but if I had to say, little girls like Klee and Qiqi would also look very cute in wedding dresses."
