Lounging on the recliner, mimicking Wendy's style, he placed the helmet on his head and began the series of account login issues.
Lu Ze glanced at it, earning another lottery ticket for free. Not bad, not bad. Perhaps… he should try one?
"Ding dong, detected a surge in Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity. Rewarding the host with a large-scale TV series - The Captain's Growth History. It will be automatically advertised in the next PV and premiere in two weeks. No need to thank the system."
Upon hearing the system's message, Lu Ze froze on the spot, instantly petrified. What was going on? Was the name of this TV series meant to mess with him? Surely it wouldn't expose all his past embarrassments… hiss, I, t—
"Sirin, are you there? A customer downstairs wants to see you. If you're not up for it, I'll reject her for you."
Sirin, who was playing games in her room, looked towards the door. She quickly ran to the entrance, swiftly opened the door, and poked her head out.
"I'm fine. I promised to hold a fan signing today, but I didn't. If it's just this small request, I can manage. I don't want Lu Ze to be disappointed either…"
Looking at the little one before him, Lu Ze smiled. This easily sparked a protective instinct… so cute.
He reached out and patted her head, smiling as he said, "Then Sirin, you can come down later. I'll be counting on you."
"Mhm!"
Returning downstairs, he once again sat in his familiar spot, looking at the computer screen. Should he do something? Forget it, let's try one first!
He took out a lottery ticket from his system inventory. He wondered who he would draw this time. Honestly, he really wanted to draw Ana. After all, that child was truly a pity.
He approached the lottery machine. The pink lottery ticket was drawn in, and the screen immediately displayed an airdrop slowly descending, followed by character icons.
At this moment, his heart raced to the extreme. This time… who would it be?
A blue-white light appeared, flashing directly from the machine and slowly taking shape in the hall, gradually forming a human figure.
Ash-white long hair, a slender figure, giving an immediate impact of an older sister type. Especially that heavy burden, it was terrifying. This is our great scientist Bronya! She proved the world's difficult problem that eight is greater than fifty thousand!
"Where… where is this? Shouldn't I be working overtime at the company? My head is a bit confused. Hmm… Lu Ze?!"
The first moment she saw Lu Ze, she was completely taken aback. Her mind went blank, and she stood there傻傻地, unsure of what to do.
"It's you… Bronya, long time no see. Although we did see each other not long ago."
Seeing that it was Bronya he had drawn, Lu Ze was a little disappointed, but it was alright! Whether it was Himeko or Ana, drawing them was only a matter of time. It would just take a little longer. It wasn't a big problem.
"You scoundrel, how dare you stand in front of me? I said, every time I see you… I'll… I'll make you pay!"
Under Lu Ze's shocked gaze, the Bronya before him quickly leaped, passing through the counter, and gripped the wall with one hand. Lu Ze, who had been sitting on the chair, was cornered.
"No, what are you doing? Don't be like this, I'm scared…"
Looking at Bronya so close, he hadn't even reacted. Did he do something wrong? No, this was the future Bronya, she shouldn't have anything to do with him, right? Could it be that he did something beastly in the future?
"Scared? You know fear? I thought our Captain could do anything… What? Don't you think you stole something from me? Or have you completely forgotten? Captain, is Genshin Impact fun?"
Listening to her aggressive words, Lu Ze felt a chill down his spine. It seemed this issue was quite serious. He shouldn't have drawn the ticket. If Wendy saw this, he wouldn't be able to stay in this shop.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Can you let me go first? We can talk slowly if there's anything. Damn… wait!"
But Bronya couldn't wait, and forcefully pulled Lu Ze's head up, kissing him with great force. I have to say… this was more explosive than the Herrscher of the Void.
"Heh, wait for what? It's not like we haven't kissed before. What's wrong? Haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss me at all?"
Bronya looked at Lu Ze, whose eyes had turned into spirals, and clapped her hands with a hint of boredom. "No fun, better to go play games. Really… fine, fine, I'll forgive you this time."
But as luck would have it, Wendy happened to walk down from upstairs. After all, calculating the time, it was almost lunchtime, and she was preparing to cook two of her signature dishes for the meal.
However, the moment she came down, she witnessed such a shocking scene. The apron in her hand had fallen to the floor at some point. Wendy looked at the woman before her. Although she looked familiar, was this really okay?
Kissing the person I like right in front of me, I have to say, you're quite brave, woman!
"Hmm? Wendy! What are you doing here? I remember I even went to look for you back then. As soon as I got your news, I couldn't wait to see you. But when I arrived at your house according to the address, no one was there. I was a little confused then. I didn't expect you to be here."
Hearing the familiar tone, Wendy, who was about to lose her temper, swallowed her words. Isn't this my Bronya sister? When did she get so big… Women grow up and change, ah, no, women grow up and fuse! I'm a little curious, what have you been eating these past few days? You've gotten so big.
"Wendy?"
Hearing Bronya's call, Wendy finally snapped back to reality. She could only silently pick up the apron from the floor and said, "Bronya sister, um… can you let go of Lu Ze first? Otherwise, don't blame me for not cherishing our old ties."
Hearing the little one's words, Bronya was slightly stunned. Good heavens, Wendy is interested in the Captain? If her few companions knew about this, then… your days might not be so good.
"You… you don't like him, do you? I see. Then I'm sorry! Sister, I… I like him too. Hmm… then we'll compete fairly. I think you'd be very willing."
