Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

However, she soon felt relieved. Ye Ziye seemed unusually gentle today, and his tone was no longer so calm, but much softer.

Ye Ziye waited for the customers' coffee while instructing Nakamura Nanami. The girl's skills were already quite good, and with a little more practice, she would soon be able to take over his shift.

Not long after, a steaming cup of black coffee was placed in front of Ye Ziye; it was the customer's order.

Ye Ziye took a sniff and immediately determined that the coffee was around level 3, which was pretty good. It already had a bit of the level of a coffee master. In the end, it was Nakamura Nanei who worked harder.

"Master, this is the coffee Renmei ordered..."

Although Nakamura Nanami is now a barista, she still doesn't dare to speak loudly, and her soft, gentle demeanor is endearing.

Ye Ziye frowned and turned around to see Akiyama Hitomi sitting at the table, greeting him.

It seems this woman (Li Haohao) arrived late today and missed out on the bar seat.

But he didn't mind; it was the guests' freedom to sit there, and Ye Ziye was still very professional.

After serving the black coffee, Ye Ziye walked to Akiyama Hitomi's table.

"Black coffee, please."

However, Hitomi Akiyama didn't rush to eat. Looking at Ye Ziye, she licked her lips and said...

"Ye Zi-kun was demoted? Could it be that Nami is persecuting you?"

"No, I just wanted to try something new."

"Want to grab a drink together? It's rare for you not to be working at the bar today."

"No."

Ye Ziye's heartless rejection made her start to miss Ms. Kato.

Why doesn't being with Megumi Kato make people feel impatient? This is a question worth pondering, yet it's also quite obvious.

Chapter 210

The moon quietly appeared, and darkness hung over the sky.

It was 8 p.m., the pet cafe's closing time. All the customers had left, and all the cats were yawning, seemingly aware that their day of being petted and cuddled was over.

Ye Ziye didn't leave early today. Since he took on the job of a waiter, wiping dishes in the evening was also part of his job. He is a very professional person.

Nakamura Nanami helped out, and Ye Ziye didn't refuse. He knew that even if he refused, the girl would still stay there.

"Master, how did I do today?"

Nakamura Nanami's face flushed slightly as she tentatively asked the question. With Ye Ziye beside her, she felt a little nervous, but she was still eagerly awaiting the answer.

"Not bad, you'll need to take on more of the barista's duties in the future."

Ye Ziye was washing the dishes when he answered, because he already knew he would face this kind of question.

"Then... Master, do you like me?"

Suddenly, Nakamura Nanami changed the subject, her cute face flushed even more, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She wasn't embarrassed, since it wasn't the first time she'd been asked that question. She was just a little shyer and more nervous this time.

"I like it."

Ye Ziye heard her question clearly and gave his answer with a calm expression.

Nakamura Nanning's face lit up with joy, but when she looked up and saw Ye Ziye's indifferent face, she knew that this liking was probably between a master and disciple, not romantic feelings.

"No... Master, you misunderstood. I meant that kind of liking, the kind where a man and a woman are in a relationship..."

Nakamura Nanning spoke firmly, and Ye Ziye stopped what she was doing.

He wasn't some clueless fool who didn't understand feelings; he could naturally sense Nakamura Nanami's emotions. What he didn't expect was why this girl would be in such a hurry to ask this question at a time like this.

He thought he would answer this question at the moment he resigned, but although it came a little early, answering it early or late was the same thing.

Do you want to date me?

"Uh-huh!"

Nakamura Nanning nodded seriously, his eyes brightening slightly.

"When the day comes that your coffee tastes as good as mine, let's start dating."

Ye Ziye pursed her lips, neither directly refusing nor agreeing, giving an ambiguous answer.

"really?"

Although it wasn't an agreement, Nakamura Nanami was still excited. This answer was much better than the previous outright rejection, and she felt that her efforts had paid off.

"Really, I never lie."

Ye Ziye finished washing the last plate and looked at Nakamura Nanami very seriously, his burning gaze making the girl unable to look him in the eye.

"I will definitely work hard!"

Seeing that look in his eyes, Nakamura Nanami knew that he wasn't lying to her; Ye Ziye really thought that way.

"Then you should work hard."

Nakamura Nanami nodded his little head vigorously, took Ye Ziye's apron off his neck, and went to the staff break room in high spirits.

After Nakamura Nanami left, Kudo Nami moved closer to Yoko Yoru.

The woman had been listening the whole time. In the past, her face would have shown jealousy, but today, it was just worry.

"Do you really like Nanning-chan? She really likes you, and after this, she'll probably work even harder..."

"Wouldn't it be better to work twice as hard? That way, she can realize her dream of becoming a barista."

Ye Ziye dried her hands with a towel and met Kudo Nami's serious gaze.

As the boss, Kudo Nami knew all too well how skilled Ye Ziye was at making coffee; it was practically superhuman. In this world, there was probably no one else with such exquisite skills.

But now Nakamura Nanai is going to compete with such a person in coffee-making skills, and the result is predictable.

"Ye Zi-jun, Nanning-chan really likes you..."

Kudo Nami wanted to say something more, but then she saw Ye Ziye's eyes, which were far too beautiful for a man.

But at this moment, those eyes were filled with seriousness.

In an instant, Kudo Nami understood a lot. Even though she had never been in love, she inexplicably grasped the meaning of that look.

A lovely girl will greet you shyly when she sees you, will offer to put an apron on you, will show concern when you are injured, and will initiate conversation when you are bored.

Is there really anyone in this world who wouldn't be moved by a girl like that?

The proverb "constant dripping wears away a stone" is a very useful metaphor. Boys are emotional beings; they can fall for a girl because of a small act of care, let alone endless care.

There will always be a crack in the stone, and then the water will rush in wildly.

Ye Ziye may appear to be without desires, but that's just his personality. He is a living, breathing person with emotions and desires.

His heart pounded when he saw Yukino Yukinoshita bandaging his wounds; he felt warmth in his heart when he saw Kato-san's gentle smile; and he felt a strange sensation when he was blow-drying Artoria's hair.

Rather than saying that he was competing with Nakamura Nanning in coffee making, it would be more accurate to say that he gave this lovely girl an opportunity.

Ye Ziye was conflicted, but the choice was in his hands. He was very sensitive, and so was his feeling for the girl.

Sometimes he felt that he went to his class, the student council, and the service department every day not for any grand or respectable reason, but simply because there were people he wanted to see there.

For a man, having so many beautiful girls around him is a great honor, but also a difficult dilemma.

What are you doing?

Nakamura Nanei walked out of the staff break room and looked at Ye Ziye and Kudo Nami, who were staring at each other in silence, feeling a little strange.

Kudo Nami glanced at Nakamura Nanami, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Ye Ziye then patted Nakamura Nanami's head and said...

"Then I'll go home first and practice hard when I get home."

"I will!"

Nakamura Nanami responded energetically, while Ye Ziye shook his head and left the pet cafe.

He felt like he was a kind of central air conditioner, but he couldn't do anything about it. Perhaps it was because of puberty that his mind was so scattered. Maybe he would continue to be like this in the future, or maybe he would become more focused. Ye Ziye didn't know.

Chapter 211

Tuesday, June 16th, sunny.

Ye Ziye got up early for two reasons: one was that he had things to do that morning, and the other was that he had a frightening dream.

After experiencing the events of last night, he had a similar dream, in which there were Kato Megumi, Yukino Yukinoshita, Artoria, and even his little apprentice Nakamura Nanai.

It was a perfectly good dream, but suddenly Fujiwara Chika appeared, and Yoko was startled awake.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was only 6:30, which was quite early. After a moment of confusion, Ye Ziye struggled to get out of bed.

He felt that he was abnormal because, according to psychology, it is abnormal for a person to have feelings for many people.

But Ye Ziye didn't care anymore. Who cared whether it was normal or not? As long as he lived each day well, that was enough. Simplicity was the true essence of life.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ye Ziye shook his head and decided not to think about yesterday. Perhaps because of the stimulation, he had thought too much yesterday, and he felt like he wasn't even himself anymore.

After getting dressed, Ye Ziye went to the living room. Artoria had just gotten up, rubbing her eyes and yawning as she walked into the living room.

This is human nature; even with sufficient sleep, such behavior is still essential.

"Saber, good morning."

Ye Ziye greeted them and then went to the kitchen; she needed to cook breakfast early today.

Upon seeing Ye Ziye, Artoria was initially taken aback before regaining her senses.

"Good morning, Yezi. Why are you up so early today?"

Artoria's big eyes were full of curiosity. She rarely saw Ye Ziye get up at this time. On Saturdays and Sundays, the two of them would not meet until around ten o'clock.

"Something came up."

Ye Ziye said something casually, and then fell silent.

Today he's going to make an extra bento for Ms. Kato. He originally planned to make a larger portion for himself, but after thinking about it, Ye Ziye decided it would be better to make two.

To be fair, Megumi Kato has a pretty big appetite; she usually eats less because she's managing her figure.
