My mobile game wife came knocking.

Upon seeing Barbara's message, Jean frowned slightly.

Why does this name seem so familiar?

Chapter 118 Let's go home and meet our parents.

Because his phone was still with Hu Tao, Ye Ming could only buy a ticket with cash and enter the station.

When I got on the subway, it was already past 3 p.m. Since it wasn't rush hour, there were still quite a few empty seats.

Ye Ming casually found an empty seat and sat down. After the subway started moving, with no one to bother him and no phone to play with, Ye Ming sat quietly. For a moment, he felt a long-lost sense of peace and relaxation.

A few days ago, Ye Ming went to and from get off work alone, came home alone, ate dinner alone, and watched TV and played on his phone and computer alone after dinner. Quietness and loneliness were his daily experiences.

But just a few days later, the quiet and solitude of the past seemed to have become something unattainable.

Is this change ultimately good or bad?

Generally speaking, from any perspective, this is a change that many people dream of.

One beautiful girl after another comes to your door in the game. Everyone likes you and wants to take the initiative to seduce you. They don't care about small things, they don't ask for cars, houses or dowries. They all try their best to stay by your side. Who wouldn't like such an experience?

But at this moment, Ye Ming, who was unusually free of girls, felt a little tired.

Because he experienced far too many things in just a few days.

The encounter with Laffey, the sudden appearance and marriage proposal of her childhood friend Fu Hua after several years of separation, the appearance of Keqing and her drunken encounter, Okita Souji who resembles Okita from FGO and a girl who likes to cosplay Yae Sakura, the possible arrival of Jeanne Alter and Scathach in this world, Fu Hua confessing her feelings and the two sleeping together, the appearance of Enterprise, the news brought by Enterprise that the entire Royal Fleet may have arrived in this world, the decision to give Fu Hua an engagement ring, being kidnapped by Kurumi, the news of the rain...

The experiences of just a few days were even more bizarre and unbelievable than all the energy Ye Ming had accumulated since birth. They left Ye Ming exhausted and with little time for quiet reflection. To be honest, Ye Ming, who was just an ordinary person, was already feeling the strain, both physically and mentally. Now, in this rare moment of quiet solitude, he felt a faint sense of fatigue in both body and mind.

This is only a few girls who have come to him. If in the future, the ship girls of the Royal Fleet, the girls of Liyue, Mondstadt and Winter's End, the Servants such as Mash and Saber in FGO, and perhaps the girls from other games he played for a short time and then quit, if so many girls appear one by one, would an ordinary person really have the energy to handle them all?

Just thinking about it gave Ye Ming a headache.

However, despite the headache, Ye Ming could not possibly betray the girls' feelings for him. Right now, he could only pull himself together and respond to their affections one by one.

The first to respond, of course, is Fu Hua, who has already made a promise.

However, when Ye Ming thought of Fu Hua, he couldn't help but think of the company that had thoughtfully and generously reminded him to give Fu Hua a wedding ring when they first met.

In fact, compared to Keqing and Fu Hua, who have had time alone together, Enterprise is the girl who has the most reason and the most reason to spend time with them.

She is a ship girl who entrusts her life to the commander, a spirit of the sea who wants to be with the commander the most, Ye Ming's second marriage ship, and a rare reunion. However, in the past two days, Ye Ming has not been able to spend much time with Enterprise. In fact, the only time they could have a quiet conversation was the short time before going to sleep last night.

There was no time alone together, no romantic confession, and no deeply moving words of love. The only thing we had was a mundane chat about the daily life in the port area last night.

Even so, the company still helped him handle the relationships with the girls around him in a gentle and considerate way, and never asked him for anything.

The company's sentiment made Ye Ming feel truly guilty.

To be honest, because the company reminded him of giving Fu Hua the wedding ring shortly after meeting him yesterday, and because the company specially created time alone for him and Fu Hua today, although it might sound a bit sinful, Ye Ming can't help but think of the company every time he thinks of Fu Hua now.

Although the company doesn't compete or fight, Ye Ming still wants to spend some time alone with the company, to reciprocate their feelings, and to give them a surprise.

But how do you make it a surprise?

The wedding ring wasn't exactly a surprise, since the company already had them.

"Huh? I won! I won! I actually won!"

Just as Ye Ming was pondering, a boy who looked like a student, wearing headphones and holding a phone, suddenly shouted excitedly from the seat opposite him.

"What did you get?" asked the boy's companion sitting next to him.

"I got a graphics card! A graphics card! A 3060 graphics card!" the boy exclaimed excitedly.

"Really? You?" His companion clearly didn't believe it and leaned over to look at the boy's phone screen.

"I'm so excited! You actually won during the Azur Lane 4th Anniversary Livestream!?"

His companion looked on with envy and muttered dejectedly, "Oh dog, can't we just have some fun together anymore?"

Azur Lane's fourth anniversary?

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Before we knew it, Azur Lane had been online for four years.

Ye Ming felt a pang of emotion. Although he had already quit the game, hadn't watched the fourth-anniversary livestream, and hadn't won a prize like the boy opposite him, he still wanted to thank Azur Lane.

Because his wife became a real wife.

The fourth anniversary is a special day for Ye Ming, an Azur Lane player, and for Enterprise, a ship girl.

What kind of surprise should we give the company?

Ye Ming felt that he had a clue.

For ship girls, the most important thing is probably the commander's approval.

Rather than gifts and simply spending time alone, Ye Ming felt that there might be a better way to express his feelings for the company—to take the company back to his hometown to visit his family.

In Chinese society, bringing a girl home to meet one's parents carries special significance.

The company will definitely be happy to do this, right?

Ye Ming felt that there was no gift that could make a company happier than this.

Come to think of it, it's been almost half a year since I last went home to visit.

After these next few days, once I've dealt with Keqing, Hutao, and Ganyu, I'll take Enterprise Lafite home to meet my parents.

Once I get back, I'll send a message to my family in advance to let them know and prepare accordingly.

With that in mind, Ye Ming made a decision in secret.

However, these are things for the future.

Now, Ye Ming must take advantage of the precious time the company has bought for him to fulfill his promise to Fu Hua, propose to her, and put a wedding ring on her finger.

By the way, since Princess Laffey and her wives aren't home tonight, I can let loose and really mess with Fu Hua, who's usually so serious.

After all, it's a special day for a proposal, so it's okay to be a little more intense at night, since there's no one else at home anyway.

Thinking of Fu Hua, her face flushed, stubbornly pursing her lips to keep quiet, but ultimately succumbing to the shock and letting out a cute cry, Ye Ming couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 119 They probably won't use force, right?

After getting off the subway, Ye Ming didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to the supermarket at the entrance of the residential area, opened a locker, put the bag full of gift boxes containing wedding rings into the locker, took out the ring for Fu Hua separately and put it in his pocket, then locked the locker and went into the residential area.

Ye Ming entered the building and pressed the elevator button. Before the elevator arrived, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the building.

"Hmm? Miss Okita?"

Walking out of the stairwell was Okita Souji, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a sword pouch.

"Hello."

The girl with cherry blossom hair nodded to Ye Ming, stood beside him, and waited for the elevator with him.

"Miss Okita, did you just come back from the dojo?"

Upon seeing Okita, Ye Ming was reminded of Okita Souji, who had disappeared from the FGO game. With some doubts in his heart, he started a conversation with Okita.

"Ah."

Okita nodded in agreement.

"I heard from Fu Hua that Miss Okita practices a practical, ancient style of swordsmanship, specifically the renowned Tennen Rishin-ryu style from the late Edo period. Speaking of which, Miss Okita's name is exactly the same as that of Okita Souji, the famous first swordsman of the Shinsengumi during the late Edo period. What a coincidence! I wonder if Miss Okita knows anything about the historical Okita Souji? I personally really admire the historical Okita Souji; his invincible magic sword technique, the Nameless Three-Stage Thrust, his assassination of Serizawa Kamo, and the bloody battle at Ikedaya..."

Do you really like Okita Souji?

Perhaps Ye Ming's words struck a chord with Miss Okita, for the aloof, cherry-haired girl finally raised her head and looked into Ye Ming's eyes.

"To be honest, I really like Okita, well, I really like the historical Okita Souji."

As he said this, Ye Ming thought for a moment and then changed his mind: "Okay, Okita Souji in the history of the late Edo period in Japan was a boy. The one I like is Sakura Saber Okita-san from a game called FGO. Speaking of which, the hair color of Okita-san in FGO is the same as that of Okita-san. I wonder if Okita-san has ever played the game FGO?"

As he said this, Ye Ming stared intently into Okita's eyes, trying to ascertain Okita's identity from his reaction.

However, throughout the entire process, Okita Souji's clear amber eyes remained as calm as a deep mountain pool, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Fate/Grand Order? I played it for a few days, but the gameplay was boring and the gacha was difficult, so I quit in less than a week."

As they were talking, the elevator arrived.

Okita Souji glanced at Ye Ming, who took a small step back, indicating that Okita should go first. Okita didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the elevator, with Ye Ming following behind.

"Why didn't you come to the temple today?"

Inside the elevator, Okita Souji asked.

"A dojo?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming paused for a moment before remembering that last night, after he coaxed Fu Hua and promised to buy her a ring, the two chatted about exercising. Fu Hua had indeed mentioned that he should go to Okita Souji's dojo to learn swordsmanship today. At the time, thinking that he could also take the opportunity to test whether Okita Souji was the same Okita Souji from the game, Ye Ming nodded in agreement.

However, due to the appearance of walnuts, today's trip to the dojo was naturally canceled.

Realizing this, Ye Ming quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, something unexpected happened here, and I couldn't make it. I'm so sorry."

“It’s alright.” Okita Souji shook his head, seemingly unconcerned about Ye Ming’s broken promise. “Since you don’t have time today, then come tomorrow. Practicing swordsmanship is very beneficial to both your body and mind. I personally suggest that you try to persist in practicing for a while.”

As he said this, Okita Souji glanced at Ye Ming, pondered for a moment, and added, "I know you're curious why I share the same name and even hair color as Okita Souji from FGO. If you're interested, come to my dojo alone tomorrow. I can answer your questions when you're practicing swordsmanship."

No sooner had he finished speaking than they arrived at the eighth floor.

Okita Souji stepped out of the elevator, turned around, and gave Ye Ming inside the elevator a deep look: "I'll be waiting for you at the dojo. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Ming's response, she opened the door and went inside.

Seeing Okita Souji's reaction in the elevator, Ye Ming fell into deep thought.

He felt that Okita Souji's last words were practically equivalent to revealing his identity, and he was just waiting for him to go to the dojo tomorrow for final confirmation.

If I go to the dojo, won't Okita force herself on me?

Because of what he had experienced these past few days, the first thing that came to Ye Ming's mind was this absurd thought.

But then Ye Ming chuckled and shook his head, dismissing the thought.

He felt that, judging from the personality traits shown so far, whether it was Ms. Okita in the game or the current Okita Souji, Okita Souji would never do anything so absurd as to use force.

Okita Souji wouldn't, Jeanne Alter is a tsundere, so she probably wouldn't either, and Scathach is a mature, purple-haired old woman who has lived for many, many years, so she probably wouldn't either.

Only the Chaldea night raid trio would be capable of using force.
