"It's not about being kept by a sugar daddy."
Gan Yu shook her head, seriously refuting Ye Ming's statement: "In the end, isn't our purpose in running Liyue International to find you, so that we can live a peaceful and happy life together without too many constraints?"
Such bold words are practically a direct confession. Gan Yu certainly wouldn't have dared to be so direct before meeting him. After all, her initial plan was simply to launch a surprise attack at night, and then confront Ye Ming and make him take responsibility.
However, Ye Ming's attitude after they met gave Gan Yu the courage to say that.
She held Ye Ming's hand tightly, not looking directly at him, but lowering her head slightly to look at their clasped hands, and whispered, "If you're willing, I'm yours, and everything I have is yours too. So, this time, are you willing to accept me?"
"Of course I would."
Such a question doesn't even require thinking about.
"However, Gan Yu, Keqing Enterprises should have already told you about me, right? Right now, I have no memories of the past, no extraordinary abilities, I'm just an ordinary person, nothing more. So, for me, this is our first time meeting."
"To be honest, I've always felt that love at first sight is no different from lust at first sight. If you say that I love you to death right now, that would definitely be a lie. All I can do is take responsibility, work hard to build our future life together, care for you and love you, and strive to make you happy."
"Of course, I understand that this process may not be smooth sailing, and there may be setbacks and conflicts along the way. So if you have any opinions, please tell me directly. As long as we rely on and support each other, even if there are some ups and downs in our future life, we will definitely be able to live happily."
"Gan Yu, are you willing to accept me as I am?"
"I do, I do."
There were no sweet words, no vows of eternal love, and no love that lasts until death; there was only ordinariness and honesty.
However, that's precisely why it's so captivating.
After all, Gan Yu, who has lived for thousands of years, is no longer the little girl who was a few hundred years old.
After love, isn't life just about living?
The happiness she had dreamed of came so suddenly, so unexpectedly, so simply, that Gan Yu felt as if she were in a dream.
She longed to rush into Ye Ming's arms and hug him tightly, but because they were on the street and surrounded by passersby, Gan Yu ultimately didn't have the heart to do so.
She looked at their clasped hands, pursed her lips, and casually asked, "You said you wrote novels in college, do you still write them now?"
"Well, I've written a little bit, but it's not long."
Ye Ming answered casually.
"What's the title of the book?" Gan Yu asked curiously.
"Lafite's Wife Fell in Love with Me".
Chapter 156 Pleasant Rain
"Lafite's Wife Fell in Love with Me".
This was originally a novel that Ye Ming wrote on a whim after meeting Raffi and feeling her dependence on him. He wrote a beginning, but when he uploaded it, he was worried that it would not pass the review, so he changed it to "Mobile Game Wife Comes Knocking".
After all, Azur Lane is a true mobile game, and Laffey is a ship girl from Azur Lane. His first married ship is named "My Mobile Wife Came to My Door," which is quite fitting.
But Ye Ming never expected that less than a month after Lafite appeared, even more girls came to his door. The book title that he had changed because he was worried that it would not pass the review actually became more apt.
However, this kind of book could definitely not be told to Gan Yu.
What did they tell Gan Yu to watch? Was it to see him and his wife, Lafite, showing off their affection? Or was it to see him flaunting his love with other women?
Ye Ming isn't that stupid.
Therefore, in response to Gan Yu's curious gaze, Ye Ming simply replied, "They are all short books with a few thousand words, and I can't quite remember the titles."
As he was saying this, Ye Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Gan Yu, how about I write a book for you? Starting today, I'll record our daily life after we met, record every little thing in our daily lives, record a story that belongs only to the two of us, as a memento. What do you think?"
"Write a book for me?"
Hearing Ye Ming's words, Gan Yu was stunned. She never expected that Ye Ming would have such a thought.
After arriving in this world, she once heard a song called "Writing Poems for You" from her secretary. Gan Yu thought that was romantic enough. When she worked late into the night and temporarily put down her documents for a short break, Gan Yu would occasionally fantasize about what it would be like if such a scenario happened to her and Ye Ming. Every time she thought about it, she would unconsciously smile.
This time, the dream became a reality, and even went a step further.
Gan Yu was overjoyed.
"really?"
She checked again, somewhat incredulously.
"Ah."
Ye Ming nodded.
To be honest, he should have gone to work today, but there were still so many things to deal with. The relationship between Fu Hua, Ke Qing, Gan Yu, and Kurumi hadn't been resolved, Okita Souji's identity was still uncertain, Yae Sakura's identity was also somewhat questionable, and the girl in Australia who was suspected to be Shearer needed to be confirmed. In FGO, the whereabouts of Jeanne Alter and Scáthach were still unknown, and in Honkai Impact 3rd, he didn't know where the girls were except for Bronya...
With so many things waiting for him to handle, it would be incredibly foolish for him to insist on not being a kept man and waste his time going to work.
So he readily asked Sister Wang for leave and subtly hinted that he intended to resign.
Ye Ming plans to write the novel about Gan Yu and his story little by little in his spare time in the evenings when he is less busy, or he can write it on the road when he goes to Australia or other places in the future.
It can be used not only as a memento, but also as a pastime.
After all, Ye Ming not only enjoys reading novels, but also likes to express his own stories.
"If you don't mind my terrible writing."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ming added a sentence to avoid making Gan Yu's expectations too high.
"I don't mind. As long as it's written by you, it's the best in my heart."
Gan Yu certainly wouldn't mind.
"Okay, I'll start writing when I have time. Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Halfway through his sentence, Ye Ming suddenly realized a problem: he had written it for Gan Yu, but what if other girls found out and wanted him to write it for them too?
It's alright now. In his spare time, Ye Ming can write more stories about corporate Lafite. He can barely write it if he adds Fu Hua, Ke Qing, and Hu Tao. At most, he can control the word count and write less. But what if more girls come to him in the future? He can't write for every single one of them, can he?
Even if each girl's story is 100,000 words long, ten girls would be a million words, and a hundred girls would be ten million words!
There are so many words, he couldn't finish writing them even if he worked himself to death.
That's not right. If there were really that many girls, the first thing to worry about wouldn't be whether they could write it or not, but whether their bodies could handle it.
However, in any case, it is still necessary to take precautions in advance.
We need to quickly patch this up and keep it a secret from Gan Yu.
"Gan Yu, my writing is really terrible. It would be too embarrassing if someone else saw it. How about this, my story will only be written for you. Let's keep this a secret between the two of us and not tell anyone else, okay?"
With a little linguistic skill, making requests can be made much more pleasant to accept.
"Okay, this is a secret between the two of us, and I will never tell anyone else!"
Gan Yu nodded in agreement, her eyes resolute.
If it's a secret, of course I'll keep it safe and never tell anyone.
But what if Keqing Hutao accidentally sees her reading? It wouldn't be Gan Yu's fault, would it?
Receiving a book written for you by someone you like is certainly a very happy thing, and such happiness should be cherished. However, Gan Yu felt that she and Ke Qing Hu Tao were good sisters, and good sisters should definitely share good things together.
Moreover, happiness that belongs to only one person is a single happiness. But after sharing it with her two good sisters, Keqing and Hu Tao, it becomes three times the happiness, increasing the happiness index by three times. If there is an opportunity to share it with Ningguang and Beidou in the future, the happiness index will increase even further. Why not do something that is a win-win situation?
Just like how Ke Qing intentionally or unintentionally showed off her superiority when she was exposed for cheating and apologized to her, Hu Tao kidnapped Ye Ming's WeChat Moments to post photos of herself with Ye Ming. Happiness can only be increased by sharing it.
Gan Yu felt that compared to Keqing Kurumi's simple, clumsy methods that revealed a lot of wicked humor, her approach was much gentler.
After all, receiving a book written by someone she liked on their first meeting was such a happy thing, and Gan Yu had been trying to hide it for a long time for the sake of her sisterly bond. It was only by accident that her best friend saw it. When her best friend questioned her, she tried to continue to hide her feelings of caring for her best friend, but the author's name on the page she accidentally opened revealed everything.
Faced with this situation, even if Keqing and Kurumi were furious, they probably wouldn't be able to vent their anger. Kurumi would probably be furious, while Keqing could only force a smile and say it's okay, then make an excuse to stumble away, secretly huddled in a corner and wiping away her tears.
Just imagining that scene made Gan Yu incredibly happy.
Chapter 157 Qilin Sweet Rain, Perfect Mount 4K
Why does Gan Yu's smile look a bit like that of a tax evader?
Ye Ming noticed the upturned corners of Gan Yu's lips, and a fleeting question crossed his mind.
However, he didn't take this doubt to heart.
He didn't just call Gan Yu out this time to build a relationship with her. He wanted to learn more about the history of Teyvat from her.
Previously, Ye Ming had discussed this issue with Ke Qing and Hu Tao. Ke Qing basically didn't say anything, and although Hu Tao was very cooperative, Ye Ming couldn't get any more information from her except for a few scenes.
Ye Ming felt that this time, he might be able to obtain more information from Gan Yu.
"Gan Yu, did I tell you about my past when we were in Teyvat?"
"Huh? Something from the past?"
Startled by Ye Ming's voice, Gan Yu, lost in thought, pondered for a moment and shook her head: "No, you rarely mention your past. I've only occasionally heard a few unfamiliar names from you, like Mashu, Hinako Akuta, Kiana, Talulah, Luna, etc., names I've never heard before. Apart from that, I've never heard you talk about your past. Occasionally when I ask you, you always look into the distance, sigh, and look very disappointed. After it happened so many times, I didn't dare to ask anymore."
As she said this, Gan Yu thought for a moment and added, "However, although you never mentioned your past at that time, I could still tell from some of your actions that you should also be a long-lived species, experienced many battles, and were also very good at conspiracies. Moreover, although you always intentionally kept your distance from everyone, even when you were keeping your distance, your words and actions easily made people feel good about you. I don't know if it was a talent or something you developed through training."
Towards the end, Gan Yu's voice carried a hint of resentment.
Ye Ming remained silent.
Actually, he had never understood Hu Tao's statement that "you have always been careful to keep your distance from everyone." Although there was a reasonable explanation, Ye Ming felt that if he were to travel to another world in a game or anime now, as long as he was safe, he would definitely try to make advances towards the beautiful girls he used to like and try to confess his feelings.
After all, it's a second chance at life, so it's okay to relax a little, right?
If you succeed, you'll naturally have a wonderful romance; if you're rejected, there's no need to worry too much.
After all, it's either success or failure; there are only two possible outcomes for confessing your feelings.
Ye Ming felt that if he were to confess his love in another world, he would definitely replicate some classic scenes from anime to increase his chances of success.
For example, like Lelouch saying, "If you are a witch, I only need to become the Demon King."
Like Orihime Inoue said, "If only I could live five times, I could live in a different city each time, eat different food each time, eat my fill each time, do different things each time, and fall in love with the same person each time."
Like Nishino Tsukasa said, "I think you are happier than me because you can choose to love me or not, while I can only choose to love you or love you even more."
Of course, the most classic one is Hitagi Senjougahara's confession under the starry sky. If the scene and atmosphere of the confession could be replicated, even the most indifferent girl would definitely be moved, right?
Unfortunately, Ye Ming could only keep such thoughts in his mind, because so far, all the girls who came to him had confessed their feelings to him, and he had no chance to try.
Honestly, it feels pretty... good.
"Cough cough."
