Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

Facing this kind old man, Ye Ziye was unusually humble.

"You're from China, aren't you?"

"how do you know?"

Ye Ziye was slightly taken aback. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to tell just by his familiarity with the language, since his clothing was all Japanese style.

“You have a slight Shanghai accent when you speak, not too loud or too soft. Foreigners can’t imitate this accent. Only people who have lived in Shanghai for a long time and then learned Mandarin can hear it.”

The old man spoke at a long time, but his speech was slow and gentle, like a spring breeze.

Ye Ziye was a little surprised. He had never known that he had an accent. As the old man said, it was only a little bit and should be hard for (bceb) to hear.

Are you from Shanghai?

"No, I'm from Beijing. I just visited Shanghai when I was younger."

Ye Ziye didn't ask any more questions, and that's when he realized how Fujiwara Chika felt when she was talking to him.

The gap created by this kind of experience is indeed not so easy to bridge.

"Your carving is very good. At least I haven't seen a better carving than yours. It's just that... the girl you carved doesn't seem to be any of the girls next to you."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. Having worked in this industry for so long, he could sense Ye Ziye's dedication; it was obvious.

"Yes, it's another friend of mine. I made her angry, so I wanted to use this to apologize to her."

Facing this old man, Ye Ziye didn't want to say anything useless or false, because he felt that even if he did, the old man would notice.

“Your friend is very lucky. I guess most people at this age wouldn’t receive such a thoughtful gift. When I made my partner angry, I did the same thing to apologize. We think the same way.”

When the old man mentioned the word "lover," his expression changed to a silly, happy smile that shouldn't be on someone his age.

Is that so...?

Looking around, Ye Ziye didn't find another kind-looking old lady, so he didn't ask any more questions; he was perceptive enough to know better.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man emerged from his reverie and returned to being the kind old man he once was.

"When you're young, you always think a lot, but in the end, there will always be someone who helps you settle your heart, and that settlement lasts a lifetime."

After saying this, the old man patted Ye Ziye on the shoulder, then got up and left.

Ye Ziye wasn't stupid, of course. He knew what the old man meant when he emphasized the words to one of the people.

But just like after Nakamura Nanami confessed to him for the second time that day, from a psychological perspective, he is a sick person.

Shaking his head, Ye Ziye stopped thinking about it and carefully put the clay figurine into the box, which the old man had left behind.

He naturally heeded the advice he had just received, but those are all things of the future, and no one can say for sure.

He wasn't sure whether the person the old man was talking about would appear or not.

Chapter 230

For focused and attentive people, time always seems to fly by, while for bored people, time seems to drag on.

An hour had passed since Ye Ziye finished "Miss Kato". He had been in a daze for fifty minutes, and spent the remaining ten minutes in boredom.

The three girls were still working hard on their project, but after so much time, they hadn't even finished a round bowl, and their cute and pretty faces were all dirty.

Ye Ziye couldn't understand why they were so serious about a puddle of mud that was no longer recognizable. If it were him, he would definitely roll the mud into a ball and use it as his own artwork.

"It's finished! My work!"

Suddenly, Fujiwara Chika exclaimed, her large eyes sparkling, holding what she called her work.

Ye Ziye didn't know what it was. It felt like a cat or a dog, but the appearance of three eyes made him even more confused.

Although puzzled, Ye Ziye didn't ask anything. He didn't care what it was; as long as Fujiwara Chika had fun, that was all that mattered.

After waiting for Kaguya Shinomiya and Artoria to finish, Ye Ziye could go home. For some reason, Ye Ziye was looking forward to tomorrow.

"Ahem! Ye Zi, why don't you ask me what's in my hand?"

Hearing Fujiwara Chika's words, Ye Ziye turned around. The girl was still holding up what she was holding, her eyes filled with anticipation.

He initially wanted to ignore it, but Fujiwara Chika's expectant gaze was simply too intense, so he sighed helplessly and asked...

"Secretary Fujiwara, what's that in your hand?"

Having received the question, Fujiwara Chika's face showed a disdainful expression. She slowly lowered her hand and said...

"Haha, Ye Zi, you should be wearing glasses, how come you don't know what I'm holding? But since you're so eager, I'll tell you!"

"No... I wasn't expecting it... and wasn't it you who told me to ask?"

As usual, Ye Ziye's complaints were ignored once again. He regretted it a little and vowed that this was the last time. No matter what expression Fujiwara Chika showed next time, he would not be soft-hearted!

"This is a paisley I sculpted, what do you think? It looks just like one, doesn't it!"

With the same expectant expression, Ye Ziye decided to be herself this time.

"No, not at all. Pace's ears are round, yours are pointed, and Pace's eyes aren't as round either. Most importantly, Pace has two eyes, not three."

Ye Ziye wanted to continue speaking, but noticed Fujiwara Chika's almost tearful expression and couldn't help but shut her mouth.

This time it wasn't that he was being soft-hearted, but it would be troublesome if Fujiwara Chika cried out here. He didn't want to be mistaken for a jerk who bullied girls for no reason.

It would be terrible if Fujiwara Chika forcibly forgave me then.

"Actually, you did a great job..."

After saying those words against his will, Ye Ziye turned his head away.

He decided that he would never tell anyone that he never lies again. This principle had been broken too many times, and he didn't even have the energy to fix it.

"Really? I knew this looked a lot like Pace!"

With just one sentence, Fujiwara Chika's previous dejection vanished, and she returned to her cute and lively self, as if her sadness just moments before had been a lie.

Ye Ziye was already used to this magical change in facial expression. It was good that Fujiwara Chika wasn't crying anymore, but it was still a little painful to say things against her will.

"I've decided to put my work in the display case and let others see the talent of Master Qianhua!"

After saying this with great confidence, Fujiwara Chika got up and prepared to go find the old man to exhibit her work.

Ye Ziye reached out his hand, but he was too slow. Before he could speak, Fujiwara Chika had already walked to the old man's side.

With a helpless sigh, Ye Ziye said nothing more. He guessed that Fujiwara Chika's work would be exhibited.

Although her work is not good, it is still better than the works currently in the display case. She can be considered the tallest among the short ones.

Poor Pace, who had no idea what was going on, was about to be dragged out and publicly executed by his master.

In that short time, Kaguya Shinomiya and Artoria also looked up one after another, having completed their works.

Artoria is a sword. Although it's a bit crooked, Ye Ziye is certain that it is a sword, which suits the girl's personality, so he's not surprised.

Kaguya Shinomiya's creations were similar to those of Chika Fujiwara. Learning from her previous experience, he deduced that the unidentified creature was probably Garfield.

Although he didn't do a good job, at least Garfield didn't have to be dragged out and publicly executed like Pace did.

"Yoko, where did Fujiwara-san go?"

Watching Fujiwara Chika chatting happily, Shinomiya Kaguya was a little curious. She had been focused on her duty the whole time and hadn't noticed this at all.

Artoria was also very curious, her emerald green eyes seeming to say, "Tell me quickly."

Ye Ziye didn't waste any time and explained what had just happened. The three of them fell silent and then looked at Pace with sympathy.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Artoria knew they hadn't done well and didn't have the courage to go to the exhibition. At this moment, they actually admired Chika Fujiwara a little.

A short while later, Fujiwara Chika returned, her artwork gone, her face beaming with pride.

"The old man just said that he can exhibit my work and will put it on the top shelf!"

At this moment, Fujiwara Chika looked like an elementary school student, and Ye Ziye glanced at her and came to this conclusion.

However, having learned from past mistakes, he naturally wouldn't say such things aloud, lest he cause any trouble.

"Ye Zi, I'm so hungry..."

Holding the sword she had made herself, Artoria rubbed her stomach. She hadn't felt it before because she was focused, but now she felt a sense of hunger.

Ye Ziye glanced at the time; it was already 1 p.m., well past lunchtime, so it was normal for Altria to feel hungry.

"Let's go home and eat now." (Transfer Station 37)

"Ok!"

Artoria nodded her little head vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation. Food tastes even better when you're hungry.

"Let's have Shinomiya and Fujiwara together too. It's already this late, we can go home after lunch."

Actually, this wasn't Ye Ziye's initiative to invite them, but the two pairs of eyes behind him were so intense that he couldn't bear it, so he had no choice but to invite them.

"Great!"

Having achieved her goal, Fujiwara Chika jumped for joy, while Shinomiya Kaguya smiled gently beside her. She was looking forward to going to Ye Ziye's house for dinner.

Chapter 231

June 23rd, sunny.

Today is a dreaded Monday. In the past, Ye Ziye would definitely have stayed in bed, but today is different, and he got up early.

It wasn't just the chain reaction caused by getting up early yesterday, but more so because I could go to school and apologize to Ms. Kato today.

Although he knew that Ms. Kato was angry because of him, Ye Ziye did not think he was wrong.

But who cares? Once today is over, Ms. Kato will probably stop being angry. That's the most important thing.

Thinking this through, Ye Ziye, unusually, didn't stay in bed today. After rolling around in bed, she got up perfectly, landing with a perfect posture.

After putting on her school uniform, Ye Ziye took the gift she wanted to give to Ms. Kato and walked to the living room.

Whatever the purpose, it is essential to cook breakfast on time; it is also very important not to let Artoria go hungry.

Moreover, he's making two extra lunch boxes today for Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara.

After having dinner at home yesterday, the two girls insisted on having dinner again. In fact, most of the requests came from Fujiwara Chika herself, while Shinomiya Kaguya just nodded silently from the side.

Ye Ziye found it too troublesome, so he agreed. To him, making a few bento boxes was the same, since he used more than one pot to cook each time.

In the living room, Artoria had just come out of her room, wearing light pajamas and yawning without any attempt to conceal her presence.

Good morning, Yezi.
