Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

At this very moment when dinner had just begun—

Xia Yuan and Bronya fought to a draw, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Next... Xia Yuan and Bronya seemed to have reached some kind of consensus and tacit understanding, burying themselves in their dinner and savoring it. Before they knew it, the three of them had cleared all the food off the table.

Everyone enjoyed a very pleasant meal.

"I'm sorry... I ate so much without realizing it, you all must have laughed at me. I never expected Mr. Xia Yuan to be such a good cook."

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Ms. Alexandra. After all, you have a little foodie living in your belly. By the way, have you considered giving the baby a nice name?"

Xia Yuan's words naturally aroused Bronya's high alert.

However, Bronya, who was now full, lowered her guard for a short time...

Chapter 344 The Shameful Mrs. Brownie

She was too late to stop her incompetent subordinate.

"If it's a girl... let's call her Bronya Zaychek~ Hmm, if it's a boy..."

"I think Ms. Alexander, the baby in your belly will definitely be a lovely girl. When she grows up, she will be as beautiful as her mother, with beautiful spiral-shaped silver hair. Don't you think so? My most admired boss, Bruno!"

Facing Xia Yuan's soul-searching questioning...

Bronya puffed out her cheeks and glared back defiantly, seemingly conveying a message through her eyes: "Stupid subordinate, it seems you don't want a vacation!"

Compared to a vacation, Xia Yuan found Bronya quite interesting at this moment. Her expressions and fluctuations within a single day were even more numerous than those she had during a year in the studio.

then--

Xia Yuan responded with his eyes; at that moment, he would rather not take a vacation.

The subtle rivalry between the two at the dinner table went unnoticed by Alexandra, who simply stroked her belly gently, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Xia Yuan. I really wonder what kind of person this child will become when he grows up. I really want to see it with my own eyes..."

"I think she must be a very special child, maybe even a hero who will save the world? What do you think, dear Mrs. Brownie?"

Bronya was already contemplating leaving her incompetent subordinate outside to be covered in snow.

If looks could kill, Xia Yuan would probably be dead at least a thousand times over by now, right? That idiot subordinate always ends up throwing the questions at me at the end, and I have to pretend I know nothing about it!

"Yes, yes..."

Bronya answered, her lips trembling slightly.

Alexandra shook her head and replied softly:

"If I could... I don't want my child to become a hero. For a mother, I would be content if she could live a healthy and peaceful life in this world and spend a relatively happy life with the person she loves."

"People who...love each other?!"

Bronya suddenly stood up from the table, slamming her hands heavily on it. Realizing she had been a bit too agitated, she coughed a few times and replied:

"I believe that she will definitely choose to pursue her interests and hobbies in the future, just like Brock... cough cough, as for myself, I am determined to start an independent game studio and become an independent game developer."

"Dear Brownie, regarding the future of Ms. Alexandra's unborn child, perhaps... she is not as we think. Maybe her future is to marry the person she loves, have two lovely children, and live a happy and fulfilling life. Not everyone needs to pursue their dreams in the workplace."

Xia Yuan's words kept echoing in Bronya's ears, causing her to involuntarily begin to make certain associations.

She married her foolish subordinate... and walked down the aisle. Not long after, a little one with silver hair and slightly curly hair appeared beside her, and inside her was an even smaller one...

The sudden thought and image made Bronya's cheeks flush. She swept those thoughts away, slammed her hand on the table, and answered in a firm tone:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Bro... cough cough, I mean something that must be more practical than marriage, don't you agree, Ms. Alexander?"

But this time, Alexandra gently shook her head and said:

"I'm sorry... Brownie, this time I'm on Mr. Xia Yuan's side. Rather than those lofty and grand goals, I hope my child can meet the right person and spend the rest of his life happily."

Xia Yuan nodded in full agreement. Ms. Alexander was indeed a great mother.

But Bronya could no longer allow her foolish subordinate to continue talking to Ms. Alexandra. Under the pretext of washing dishes, Bronya grabbed Xia Yuan by the collar and led him back to a corner of the kitchen.

"You stupid subordinate, you seemed quite happy just now?"

Bronya stood with her hands on her hips, leaning forward, looking down at Xia Yuan with a questioning gaze tinged with anger. It seemed that if he couldn't give her a satisfactory explanation and answer, she might consider replacing him.

Of course, if Xia Yuan could read people's minds like Aponia could right now and understand Bronya's inner thoughts, he would probably agree wholeheartedly.

Very good.....

Finally, I can break free from Bronya's control and switch allegiance to Rita.

"Of course I'm happy, dear Mrs. Brownie. Aren't you happy to see your former mother?"

"No... I just get upset when I see stupid subordinates."

"So, Ms. Brownie, who gets upset whenever she sees me, do you now have any thoughts about fulfilling your mother's wish?"

Bronya subconsciously glanced at her slightly protruding belly out of the corner of her eye, obviously due to eating too much earlier. Suddenly remembering Ms. Alexander's words and the lingering thought, she lightly flicked Xia Yuan's forehead with her finger in annoyance.

"You stupid subordinate... It seems you've been eating too much and lacking exercise. Come on, let's go outside and get some exercise."

"Dear Mrs. Brownie, you must be joking, right? With such a blizzard outside, going out will turn you into a snowman and an ice sculpture!"

Xia Yuan kept shaking his head, feeling a hundred times disagreeing.

But even if there were a thousand disagreements at this moment, they couldn't prevail against his cruel and ruthless boss, and Bronya dragged him out of the house.

During this time, Ms. Alexandra looked at Xia Yuan, who seemed to have lost all will to live, with some concern, but Bronya brushed it off with a strange excuse.

Her subordinate has a bad habit...

After dinner, I always go for a walk outside for a while, otherwise I get too hot and have difficulty breathing.

Before Xia Yuan could explain anything, Bronya covered his mouth and dragged him out of the door, followed by the sound of Bronya closing the wooden door tightly.

"Foolish subordinate...Are you going to jump in yourself, or should I give you a hand?"

Snowflakes drifted onto Xia Yuan's curly hair. Before he knew it, Bronya had already smashed a hole in the ice in the lake with a shovel. Watching the ice chunks fall into the lake and splash up, Xia Yuan felt an unprecedented chill in his heart.

Chapter 345 Bronya's Drunkenness~

"Ahem... My dearest and most respected Ms. Brownie, may I not jump? If we absolutely must jump, could we jump together?"

Looking at the cold, still lake surface before him, Xia Yuan felt a thousand times unwilling.

"You stupid subordinate, do you really think that's possible?"

As Bronya drew closer, Xia Yuan closed his eyes as if giving up. Playing tricks on his boss, Bronya, always had to be punished.

Feeling the touch behind him and the impending chill, but he possessed a holy mark that could resist the cold... he should be able to hold out in the icy lake for a while, right? Xia Yuan wasn't very confident about this.

But despite the tugging at my collar, I waited for a long time without feeling the icy chill of falling into the lake...

Xia Yuan unconsciously opened his eyes.

He had already moved away from the lake and arrived at the eaves of the cabin, where the snow had not covered the roof. Before him was a bottle of high-proof distilled liquor, a local specialty, handed to him by Bronya.

High-concentration distilled spirits

Vodka represents the vodka girl.

[Chew chug chug, down it in one gulp]

"You idiot subordinate, what are you standing there for? You don't really think I'd throw you into the lake to feed the fish, do you? Hmph, Bronya isn't that heartless."

Xia Yuan nodded in disagreement.

Bronya reluctantly shoved the distilled liquor into Xia Yuan's hand, then turned her head away, sat down next to Xia Yuan, untied the bottle cap, and angrily drank alone.

"This stupid subordinate really doesn't know how to make his boss happy... I really don't know how other girls put up with this silly subordinate's personality in private."

Watching Bronya drinking alone beside him, he noticed that in just a short while, her bottle was already more than half empty.

"What should we do at this time?"

"Bronya seems a little unhappy right now. Is she drinking with Duck?"

[1. Drink until you're completely out of it with Bronya]

[Second, snatch it away; drinking for one's superior is a subordinate's duty.]

[Part 3: Feeding Bronya mouth-to-mouth like a couple~]

At that moment, three options suddenly appeared in Xia Yuan's mind. He temporarily ignored the last, fatal answer, and then... he pulled out the cork. The strong smell of alcohol hit him, causing Xia Yuan to cough.

"Cough cough cough."

Such a high concentration of alcohol... Bronya was able to down it in one gulp; she truly lives up to her reputation as a warrior nation.

"You stupid subordinate... Haven't you drunk your bottle yet? If you're not going to drink it, give it to me."

Bronya placed the empty bottle to the side, leaning forward as much as possible to snatch the bottle from Xia Yuan's hand. Even the cold outside couldn't hide the blush on her cheeks, and she even leaned her whole body on Xia Yuan's arm, trying to reach for it.

At this moment... she was truly drunk.

"Duck, wake up... You really can't drink anymore!"

Xia Yuan quickly placed it where Bronya couldn't reach it, shaking her shoulders to try and rouse her, but Bronya just stretched lazily and then collapsed heavily onto Xia Yuan.

Due to inertia, the two fell heavily onto the corridor under the eaves. Xia Yuan tried to get up but for some reason... he was unable to move because Bronya was pressing him down.

"Duck, you need to lose weight, uh... could you please stop moving around so much, or I'll..."

Feeling the constant friction from the other person's clothes above his body, Xia Yuan's heart rate began to become somewhat rapid and erratic.

"You idiot subordinate, do you think Bronya is drunk?"

Bronya turned her head and rested it on Xia Yuan's chest, her eyes fixed on him.

Her hands seemed to be groping around Xia Yuan's collar... or perhaps she was preparing to untie the somewhat cumbersome clothing.

"Duck...you're not just a little drunk, you're completely drunk!"

"Is that so..."

Suddenly, Bronya withdrew her gaze from Xia Yuan.

However, her hands were still tugging at Xia Yuan's collar. After a moment of silence, she seemed to have mustered up her courage, or perhaps under the influence of alcohol, and revealed her inner thoughts.

“Silly subordinate, thank you... for allowing me to see my mother again. Bronya loved the surprise. You went to great lengths.”

Bronya's voice grew softer and softer, but after saying those words, she felt much more relaxed and at ease.

"No, it's okay, as long as you're happy, Duck."

Bronya's sudden bluntness left Xia Yuan speechless. Her honesty was hard for him to believe... Was this still his domineering female boss who bullied her subordinates?

stare--

"I have a feeling that you were thinking something rude again, you silly subordinate, but today is an exception... I'll forgive you this time. Also, may I pat Bronya's head?"

"Ahem... Listen carefully, Bronya just wants to feel the difference between herself and her mother, definitely not to have her head patted. Hmm, this is a special permission for today, but don't mess up my hair too much!"

Xia Yuan remained silent, but decisively responded to Bronya with his actions...

He was responsible for meeting his boss's needs at that moment.

Feeling the warmth on her head, it was somewhat different from the gentle caress she had received from Alexandra's mother not long ago. The caress from her foolish subordinate felt more like a sense of reliance and comfort.

It seems that having the other person by your side always brings a sense of security.

Unbeknownst to her, Bronya, slightly tipsy, had drifted off to sleep under Xia Yuan's caresses...

After coaxing Bronya to sleep, Xia Yuan was also pondering another purpose for which he had come here with the help of the [Paradise Typewriter] and the Corruptor Herrscher.

"Is it possible to bring Ms. Alexandra back to reality from here?"

He wanted Bronya to see her mother every day. Xia Yuan considered this plan and prepared to ask Bronya for her wishes and thoughts when she woke up.

Before we knew it... the sky was gradually darkening.

The ice hole that had been chiseled in the lake was now covered with a thin layer of frost again. Just then, Bronya, who was resting her head on Xia Yuan's chest, seemed to be talking incoherently in her sleep.

Chapter 346 You Stupid Subordinate, You're the Protagonist of This Wedding

"Um... Seele, Mei, Kiana, Mother, Class President, and everyone, thank you for your blessings. Bronya is the happiest and most blessed person today."

Bronya looked like she was sleeping very soundly, and even her words conveyed a sweet feeling.

However, what concerned Xia Yuan somewhat was...

Why didn't Bronya dream of him? Xia Yuan felt a little resentful that she didn't call his name in her dream; he never thought he would become a jealous person like her one day.

His body had been used as a pillow and bed by Ms. Bronya for nearly two hours.
