Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

"Let me think about it."

He looked away and gazed at the burning flame in front of him, falling into a long silence, because he truly didn't know how to answer that question.

He has never been an idealist; he always acts based on reality, and the same applies to answering questions.

Has Ye Ziye ever truly loved a girl? He definitely has, but he's not sure. It could be Kato Megumi, Yukino Yukinoshita, Artoria, Kaguya Shinomiya, or even the girl in front of him, Fujiwara Chika.

He was a normal man, surrounded by beautiful and charming girls. Even with his strong self-control, he would inevitably be moved at some point.

He is very sensitive and can pick up on these feelings, but perhaps because he has too many feelings, he can no longer distinguish between liking and disliking.

From a psychological perspective, liking many people indicates a lack of mental health, and he wishes he were a normal person.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

After much deliberation, Ye Ziye spoke under the expectant gaze of Fujiwara Chika.

"Liking someone is probably just a feeling."

This was Ye Ziye's conclusion. He didn't know if it was correct or not, nor did he know how the questioner in front of him would view the answer.

But none of that matters anymore; he has already answered the question.

"What do you mean?"

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

The word "feeling" is very common in real life, but it gives people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. It is always a bit profound and makes it difficult for people to fully understand the word.

"It's like a girl watching a boy on the basketball court or in front of an expensive piano, looking dashing. It's like something comes from the depths of her heart, her dreams, and her memories. She wants to express something. That feeling is what liking someone is."

Ye Ziye spoke strange and unusual words, and he didn't know what he was saying, but that was what he wanted to express.

As expected, Fujiwara Chika looked like she didn't understand, but only for a moment before her expression changed, and she seemed to understand a little bit.

I don't know if it was on the basketball court, or in front of the piano, but beside her, on that stage, on that day she will never forget.

Fujiwara Chika once dreamed of Yoko Yoru, and her face was so clear, with clear and bright black pupils and a handsome face with very defined features.

Even though Ye Ziyue was just standing there, doing nothing and changing nothing, Fujiwara Chika's face would still turn red after she got up.

"What is it like to love someone?"

Fujiwara Chika stretched her neck and leaned close to Ye Ziye, staring intently at the boy's profile, eagerly awaiting his answer.

Liking and loving should occur simultaneously, and for girls, the latter carries more weight.

Ye Ziye was taken aback by the question. Fujiwara Chika was acting strangely today, always asking these inexplicable questions…

First came liking, then love, turning the atmosphere in this small space into a pink hue.

"Love is probably a feeling of liking plus a sense of responsibility. When you get used to having someone by your side and feel uncomfortable without her, and you're willing to share your favorite things with her, that's probably love."

After speaking slowly, Ye Ziye nodded in satisfaction. He felt that his speech was much better than the last time.

Is that so...?

Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened and her mouth slightly open; clearly, she understood this time.

"I see..."

The weather outside was still terrible. The howling wind shattered the clouds on the horizon, scattering them in clumps across the sky, creating a kind of incomplete beauty.

In the silent space, the flames crackled melodiously, and the firelight illuminated the girl's delicate yet beautiful face, making her already rosy cheeks even more stunning.

A week before the start of school, on a rainy day in the mountains, in a dark cave.

Everything was so devoid of any sense of ceremony, but on this day, Fujiwara Chika learned the meaning of liking and loving, and all of this was taught to her by Yoko Yoru.

The clear voice echoed in her mind again and again, leaving a deep impression on her naive and confused world of emotions.

Although she asked a question that would be very embarrassing for a girl, Fujiwara Chika was not shy; her blushing was only because Yoko Yoru was beside her.

She wasn't sure why she asked such a question, yet she seemed to vaguely understand why she had to ask it.

It was a very strange feeling, but none of that mattered anymore. What mattered was that Fujiwara Chika now knew why she had become so strange.

Staring at the boy beside her, Fujiwara Chika poked his cheek, and Ye Ziye turned his head in response.

"Ye Zi, if I'm not mistaken, then I think I've fallen for you."

Chapter 362: It Will Happen Sooner or Later

The rain gradually stopped, as did the soft, pattering sound it brought.

The air in the cave was eerily quiet. Ye Ziye looked at Fujiwara Chika, who had a serious and thoughtful expression, and didn't know what to say.

Was what you just said a confession?

Ye Ziye felt it was unlikely, because Fujiwara Chika was too calm, to an abnormal degree. She said something that would be embarrassing for a girl, yet she didn't blush and was staring straight at him.

It was less of a confession and more of Fujiwara Chika expressing her true feelings.

Ye Ziye knew that sooner or later, the girl beside him would say such things to him, or perhaps he would say them first.

He had imagined Yukino Yukinoshita, Artoria, and Megumi Kato, but he had never imagined Chika Fujiwara.

This is certainly not because Fujiwara Chika is an unpleasant person; on the contrary, this girl is very likable. Apart from the occasional quirky and inexplicable troubles, she is exceptionally comfortable to be around.

He felt that the relationship with this kind of girl should develop through unspoken understanding, rather than by expressing one's feelings verbally.

Ye Ziye has always been a quiet person, but the current atmosphere made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"The rain outside seems to have stopped. Let's hurry back to the camp, or Shinomiya and Saber will worry."

After speaking calmly, Ye Ziye stood up, preparing to leave the cave and escape the eerie atmosphere.

Fujiwara Chika was stunned. She knew she had been a bit abrupt, but this was not what she had imagined. In dramas, there was always a response, so why was there nothing in her case?

"leaf..."

"I know what you want to ask. I definitely like you, but I haven't figured out exactly what kind of liking you is. We still have a long time to spend together, so go back and let me know you're safe first!"

Ye Ziye turned around and revealed a faint smile.

He didn't know if his answer was good or not; he was just following his heart. He was increasingly feeling that he was a bit abnormal. Just now, when he said those words, the faces of several other girls flashed through his mind.

"it is good..."

Fujiwara Chika nodded blankly. She felt like she was being brushed off, but she couldn't think about that now.

This was the first time she had ever seen Ye Ziye smile; usually, he always had a bland expression that showed he didn't care about anything.

It's perfectly normal for her to be surprised when she suddenly sees an expression she's never seen before.

"Let's go then."

With a long sigh, Ye Ziye walked out of the cave. Fujiwara Chika stood there for a moment, then followed him.

The air in the mountains and forests is even fresher after the rain, filled with the fragrance of earth and leaves. The temperature is also just right, at least more comfortable than air conditioning.

The two walked one after the other without saying a word. Perhaps it was the fresh air outside that had sobered Fujiwara Chika up, but the girl's face began to blush noticeably.

Unfortunately, Ye Ziye walked ahead without looking back and was unable to witness this touching scene.

"Ye Zi, when we get back to camp..."

"I won't talk nonsense."

As soon as Fujiwara Chika opened her mouth, Ye Ziye knew what she was going to say.

At this moment, he didn't really want to talk, because his mind was actually in turmoil. After all, this was the first time in all his years that he had received such a formal confession from a girl.

The fact that the special object of affection is Fujiwara Chika makes this feeling even stranger.

"We've arrived."

The cave was about 100-200 meters from the camp. The two men were lost in their own thoughts and returned to the camp without much feeling.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Artoria were already waiting in front of the camp. After all, this wasn't a city, and it was best to know their companion's situation at all times.

"Yoko, Fujiwara-kun, you're finally back."

Kaguya Shinomiya stepped forward, seemingly relieved. It wasn't out of worry, as Yoko had already assured her that everything was alright, but rather out of fear that Chika Fujiwara might pull some tricks.

She has always been a very sensitive person, able to perceive many things that others cannot.

For example, right now, she can clearly feel that Fujiwara Chika is acting strangely, very different from usual, especially in her aura with Ye Ziye.

The two were originally in a love-hate relationship, but now there's a feeling that they're about to merge together.

"Ye Zi, are you alright?"

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was wondering to herself, Artoria had already arrived in front of Ye Ziye, her emerald green eyes sparkling, captivating anyone who looked at them.

"fine."

Ye Ziye shook his head as usual. He had fully recovered by now. Although he felt a little irresponsible, that was just the kind of person he was.

More importantly, now is not the time. The story with Fujiwara Chika is still long, and this is somewhat sudden.

"It's good that you're alright."

Artoria nodded. She never believed that Ye Ziye would be in trouble, but she couldn't suppress the urge to ask.

For her, this was a common feeling, and she no longer found it strange as before.

"Yezi, hurry back to the tent and have some hot water."

Following Ye Ziye's example of taking care of herself at home, Artoria suddenly found herself in the position of caregiver, and she felt quite accomplished.

"it is good."

Looking at Artoria's expression, Ye Ziye smiled helplessly. Perhaps this was the reason for his hesitation; the girl beside him was the decisive factor.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but despise himself in his heart. He took one last look at Fujiwara Chika and went into the tent.

"Fujiwara-san, what happened?"

Watching Ye Ziye's retreating figure, Shinomiya Kaguya grew increasingly puzzled. For some reason, she always had a strange feeling in her heart, something she couldn't explain or was uncomfortable about.

"It's just a small matter."

Fujiwara Chika also came to her senses and, without dwelling on the previous statement, pushed Shinomiya Kaguya into the tent after saying this.

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't press the matter further; there was plenty of time, and she would find out eventually.
