"I'm sure I can't compare to Belfast, who is the head maid of the royal family, but Commander will work hard in the future." Ye Ming said, unexpectedly comforted by the little girl.
"Laffey will always trust the Commander." Laffey sat back down on the small stool. "So, I'll continue to ask the Commander for help, okay?"
"it is good."
Ye Ming rinsed the foam off his hands and picked up the spray nozzle again.
Although there were still some bumps along the way, Ye Ming managed to wash Raffi's hair fairly smoothly. He turned off the shower, tied Raffi's hair up, wrapped it in a dry towel, rinsed off the foam on the floor, and prepared to leave.
“New memories, Commander.”
As Ye Ming approached the bathroom door, he suddenly heard a sound coming from inside, somewhat different from Lafite's lazy and drowsy voice during the day.
"Ok?"
Ye Ming turned around in surprise and saw Raffi taking off his clothes. He quickly turned his head back.
"The Commander said he doesn't remember the past, but Laffey doesn't care. The Commander is the Commander, Laffey's favorite Commander. As long as we're together, we can create new memories every day like today. Maybe things won't be as smooth as they were in the game before, and it's okay if we encounter some setbacks. As long as we're with the Commander, we'll definitely create the happiest future and have the most beautiful memories."
My Lafite, you're such a charmer!
Ye Ming closed the bathroom door, leaned against it, and took a deep breath.
During the day, he was lost in thought because of Laffey's appearance, wondering if he would meet more ship girls in the future, or if he would meet girls from other games. But now, his slightly restless heart has settled down.
Commander, I will work hard in the future, my lovely Laffey.
Chapter Eight: She's at Peace
After Laffey finished showering, Ye Ming used a hairdryer to dry Laffey's hair, firmly refused Laffey's request to "sleep with the Commander," and pushed Laffey to the second bedroom to sleep. Ye Ming then threw Laffey's clothes into the washing machine, washed them, and hung them on the balcony before finally having some free time.
Ye Ming hid the two bottles of Lafite wine under his bed in his bedroom, then sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the wall.
Although I was determined to work hard and earn money, things at work aren't always positive just because you've made a decision and are willing to take action. Sometimes, excessive effort can even have negative effects.
In terms of work, it's necessary to plan well and proceed steadily. So, the only way to increase income in the short term is to have a side job.
Ye Ming's first thought was to become a content creator on YouTube.
As one of the earlier users to register on Bilibili, Ye Ming's account has a rare five-digit UID. After years of dedicated management, Ye Ming's account has a following of up to six people. If he wants to make money from this, well, he still needs to work harder.
Secondly, there's writing novels. To my shame, as a seasoned online novel reader, Ye Ming once published a crossover anime novel on a novel website called Happy Pigeon House during his university years. In the first month after it was published, he successfully earned several thousand yuan in royalties. At that time, in his excitement, he made a solemn promise to finish the book and write at least two million words in the face of readers' concerns.
But reality is always cruel. The initial passion faded, and the declining subscriptions eroded Ye Ming's confidence day by day. Sitting in front of the computer every day, racking his brains to type, could not compare to the joy of playing games with his roommates and reading other people's novels. In less than two months, Ye Ming went from being an author back to a reader. Like other readers, when he encountered a book he liked that was abandoned, he wished he could grab the author and lock him in a dark room.
Perhaps I could try rewriting a novel?
No battle scenes, no action, no dark themes, and no transformations. Just a simple record of my daily life with Raffi, a heartwarming slice-of-life novel with a single female protagonist.
With that in mind, Ye Ming turned on his computer and entered the website address for Hedgehog Cat.
Having long forgotten his previous author account password, Ye Ming simply registered a new account. He entered the work creation interface and typed "Lafite's Wife Fell in Love with Me" in the title field. After thinking about it, he felt that the title might not pass the review. After a moment's thought, he simply changed it to "Mobile Game Wife Comes Knocking".
With the title settled, things went much more smoothly. Ye Ming roughly wrote a chapter about his experiences that day and uploaded it. Just before publishing, he thought for a moment and added an author's note at the end of the chapter: "ps: I'm a newbie on the road, and I hope that the readers who have read this far will give me lots of feedback and votes to motivate me to keep writing. Thank you very much!"
Will anyone watch this?
After all, it had been a long time since he had written a novel, and the subject matter was a heartwarming slice-of-life story that he had never tried before. Ye Ming wasn't very confident about how well he could write the novel.
I hope to earn some money to buy clothes for Lafite.
Buzz~ Buzz~
Ye Ming's phone on the desk vibrated twice. He opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message from his mother.
"How's work lately? Have you found a girlfriend yet?"
The text is concise and clear, getting straight to the point.
"It's alright, nothing."
Ye Ming typed three words. He didn't want to tell his family about Lafite for the time being.
"Shall I introduce you to someone?"
The message had barely arrived when, before Ye Ming could even type anything, a barrage of messages began flooding the screen.
Do you remember the little girl named Fu Hua who lived next door to us when you were little?
“When you were little, you were very stubborn and often got into fights with other kids. You could never beat them, so Fu Hua would always help you fight off several of them.”
“I remember that Fu Hua was the class monitor in your class in both elementary and middle school. You were always either second or third, while Fu Hua was always first.”
"Now that he's graduated with a master's degree and is back, he still doesn't have a partner. You two were quite close when you were little. Do you want Mom to introduce you to someone?"
After reading the flood of messages, Ye Ming was stunned.
Fu Hua is back?
The Fu Hua mentioned here is not the Fu Hua from Honkai Impact 3rd, but Ye Ming's childhood sweetheart.
As a child, Ye Ming was a bit stubborn and was often ganged up on by other children. He couldn't beat several of them by himself, but he refused to admit defeat, so Fu Hua always came to his rescue.
As a child, Fu Hua was an adorable little girl, but she was incredibly skilled at fighting. She could take down a kid with a single punch, and one punch could make someone cry for a long time. She was definitely a One-Punch Man.
Because Ye Ming felt ashamed of being saved by girls every time he was a child, he gradually stopped arguing with people. Later, from elementary school to middle school, Ye Ming was in the same class as Fu Hua. Moreover, because Fu Hua always ranked first in the exams, she was the class monitor every year. Ye Ming's ability to rank in the top three may also be due to the stimulation he received from Fu Hua.
Later, the two went to different universities. Ye Ming entered the workforce after graduating, while Fu Hua chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and they gradually lost contact.
Incidentally, when Ye Ming first encountered the Attack on Titan anime in college, he felt that his relationship with Fu Hua was similar to that of Eren and Mikasa when they were young. Later, when Ye Ming played the Honkai Impact 3rd mobile game and came across the character Fu Hua, he even sent her a message on WeChat. Fu Hua only replied with an upside-down question mark, which completely extinguished his enthusiasm.
Of course, even now, Ye Ming has never doubted that the Fu Hua he knows is related to the Fu Hua in the game. The reason is simple: the real Fu Hua is his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. Although she is beautiful, she has standard black hair and black eyes.
"She's back, and she's even found a job in the same city as you. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Ye Ming's phone started vibrating again.
"When she went home, she specifically came to ask me about you. You two were so close when you were little, and Mom likes her too. Why don't you two give it a try?"
"She's dyed her hair and put on makeup now, she looks so beautiful."
Hair dyeing? Makeup?
Ye Ming was stunned. He found it hard to imagine what the top student class monitor he remembered would look like with dyed hair.
"Forget it, don't worry about it. We're not a good match."
After sending the message, Ye Ming waited a while before receiving a reply.
"why?"
"Because she is at peace."
After all, she was his own mother, so there was nothing wrong with saying it. Ye Ming typed and sent the message directly.
Then, I didn't receive a reply for a long time.
Just when Ye Ming thought the other side had disconnected, he finally received a message.
"I'm right next to your mother."
After a pause, another message arrived.
"I've already booked my flight to H City. It's an 8 a.m. flight. See you tomorrow."
Snapped!
Ye Ming's hand trembled, and his phone fell onto the table.
H City is the city where Ye Ming lives.
Chapter Nine: Dip the Lafite in chocolate and eat it together.
Ye Ming was very embarrassed.
He never expected that Fu Hua would be with his mother so late at night, and even less did he expect that his mother would suggest, "Why don't you two try dating?" when Fu Hua was around.
To be honest, during his school years, Ye Ming did have the idea of turning his childhood sweetheart into a lover, but he would only think about it occasionally after watching anime.
The reason is simple: even in anime, childhood sweethearts are no match for someone who suddenly appears out of nowhere, let alone in reality.
In reality, it's already good enough if childhood sweethearts can stay in touch after growing up; Ye Ming has never even heard of a couple who actually end up together.
Ye Ming and Fu Hua were the same.
During their school days, because their homes were close together, Ye Ming received a lot of care from Fu Hua, who was quite capable in fighting. After starting school, the two always went to and from school together. When Ye Ming had any academic problems, Fu Hua would always patiently guide him. Occasionally, when one of their family members was away, the two would go to each other's homes for a meal, and sometimes they would even stay overnight.
But that's all there is to it.
There's absolutely no hint of the budding, ambiguous feelings of youth, or the fan service scenes often found in anime, such as those in the bathroom or bedroom.
Even after they went to university, their contact gradually faded because they were in different places. Apart from seeing each other when they went home for holidays, they rarely communicated on WeChat on weekdays.
Therefore, it's easy to imagine how embarrassed Ye Ming must have been when he was caught red-handed saying someone had small breasts.
He held his phone, typing away trying to explain, but he kept deleting the words after typing them, unable to think of a suitable explanation. It was as if the other party had disconnected. Ye Ming struggled for a long time, but no new messages came from the other party.
However, running away from this kind of thing is definitely not the best approach, and burying one's head in the sand isn't Ye Ming's style either. After thinking for a moment, Ye Ming simply typed and asked, "What time is your flight tomorrow? Which airport? I'll take time off to pick you up."
The message was sent out and a reply was received quickly.
"You actually said someone has small breasts? You're something else."
“She’s already home. You don’t need to pick her up from the airport tomorrow. Fu Hua will go straight to your place after she gets off the plane. I’ve already given her the address. Isn’t your place a two-bedroom apartment? I told her to stay at your place until she finds a place of her own.”
"You guys should also give it a try."
"Be more careful when you talk to people in the future."
"You're not allowed to fight back if you get beaten up tomorrow."
"Forget it, it's fine to fight back, you can't beat them anyway."
My mom's messages started flooding my feed.
It ended with a red envelope containing 99 yuan.
"Give it your all! Mom fully supports you in ruining Fu Hua as soon as possible!"
"..."
Ye Ming silently accepted the red envelope without replying.
To be honest, saying that Fu Hua was unsuitable was just an excuse Ye Ming used to reject his mother. In reality, Fu Hua was quite capable...
