“……!!”
As soon as Yui finished speaking, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Fang Zheng. Facing Yui's question, Fang Zheng also thought about it for a moment.
And at this moment...
"There's really no other way. Let me do it..."
Gabriel said as she squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards Yui with her arms open.
"Come here, Yui, it's mommy?"
"Why……"
"Just stay away from me."
Fang Zheng grabbed Gabriel's collar and lifted her up.
"You're trying to avoid training by using the excuse of taking care of the children, but that's impossible. Forget it."
"cut!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Gabriel smacked her lips in dissatisfaction and retreated helplessly. Fang Zheng didn't find this strange at all. He knew Gabriel well enough. This otaku was shameless and would do anything to be lazy. Besides, even if Fang Zheng wanted to find a wife, he wouldn't find her to live off her savings...
"Yui."
After sending Gabriel aside, Fang Zheng touched Yui's head and answered.
"I'm not married yet, and I don't have a wife, so... you don't have a mother yet?"
"Is that so..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Yui nodded blankly, as if she understood something. Fang Zheng also quickly skipped the topic and looked at the others again.
"Alright, alright, let's all go eat, and then we'll continue training as planned. Qingye, don't go to the sixth floor for now, come back for recovery training."
"Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng!"
Since there was nothing to watch and Fang Zheng had given the order, everyone stopped gathering here and went out to do their own things. Fang Zheng sat next to Yui and took the breakfast handed to him by Asuna.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what should we do with Yui later?"
Asuna handed over the breakfast and asked curiously, and Fang Zheng had obviously already made some preparations.
“Of course I left her in the care of Miss Sasha. There are so many children over there, and I think Yui will be able to have more fun with children of similar age. As for her memory loss…”
Having said this, Fang Zheng shook his head.
“…This is just a game after all, there’s no doctor. But I can have Argo post an announcement in a publication to see if there are any players with psychiatrists or something like that. If there is one, I can have him help Yui figure out what’s going on. But for now, this is all we can do.”
“…”
After hearing what Fang Zheng said, Asuna and Kuroneko looked at each other and didn't say much. Fang Zheng had already arranged everything in an orderly manner, and they didn't have any better ideas.
But what no one expected was that at this moment, Yui suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Zheng's clothes.
"I want to be with...Dad..."
"...Just let her follow, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Seeing Yui looking at Fang Zheng pitifully, Asuna's heart softened first.
"We don't have to go out to fight today, we're just training, so it shouldn't be dangerous to take her with us."
"That's fine."
After hearing what Asuna said, Fang Zheng thought about it for a while and nodded. After all, looking at Yui's current state, it seemed that no one dared to approach her except him. In this case, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to rashly leave her alone in the base. As Asuna said, today was just training, not fighting or exploring, so it was not a problem to take Yui with him.
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Yui smiled sweetly, then turned her head again and began to accept food from the black cat.
Seeing this scene, the other girls who were having breakfast immediately started whispering to each other.
"I never thought that this child would be so attached to Mr. Fang Zheng."
"Because Fang Zheng is handsome and so gentle and kind, he must be very popular with children."
"Didn't they say she lost her memory? You remember that she slept with Mr. Fang Zheng yesterday, right? Isn't it said that a baby bird will regard the first creature it sees after opening its eyes as its parent? Maybe that's why she regards Mr. Fang Zheng as her father?"
"How is that possible... It's not like they're hatching chicks..."
"You've never lost your memory, how do you know..."
“…”
“Ahem…”
Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange, Qingye coughed and changed the subject.
"But speaking of which, Yui is so cute. I wish I could have such a cute child..."
"So who are you going to have the baby with?"
Hearing this, Eriri came over with a smile. I don't know if it's because they both have twin ponytails, but the relationship between Eriri and Aoba is pretty good, and they seem to be forming a "Twin-tail Alliance".
“Woo…”
As soon as this topic was brought up, Qingye's face suddenly turned red. He glanced in Fangzheng's direction embarrassedly, then looked away.
"I haven't decided yet, but... maybe I will find someone like Mr. Fang Zheng in the future..."
"Your goal is too unrealistic."
At this moment, Shi Nong was eating bread and joining in the conversation between the girls.
"Do you think you can easily meet someone like Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Hearing this, Ying Lili nodded hurriedly.
"Let's not talk about those dull otakus with glasses and plain looks. Where can you find a man like Mr. Fang Zheng? If you want to find someone according to Mr. Fang Zheng's standards, you might as well just date him!"
"Hey? Hey hey hey!!"
Hearing this, Qingye waved his hands hurriedly.
"No, no, no, someone like me is not worthy of Mr. Fang Zheng... Besides, aren't Miss Esther and Miss Restia here?"
"Didn't they say last time that they weren't Mr. Fang Zheng's girlfriends? How would you know if you don't try?"
Having said that, Eriri suddenly came in front of Aoba and stared at her.
"You have to know, Qingye, once the opportunity is gone, it will never come back!"
"Yes, is that so?"
Overwhelmed by Eriri's astonishing aura, Aoba didn't know what to say for a moment, while Eriri nodded heavily.
"Imagine that you have a childhood sweetheart who you have been with for ten years. You have been together since childhood. Although you have had quarrels and separations, you still firmly believe that your hearts will be together!"
“Haha…”
"But he was suddenly snatched away by an inconspicuous girl, who was still flirting in front of you and flirting with a senior girl with long black hair, leaving you aside. But even so, you still had to put on a smile in front of him and had to wish him and that woman happiness..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Eriri's eyes.
“…What’s even worse is that you had clearly made up your mind to give him a kiss and clearly express your feelings for him, but even this last chance was snatched away by that insidious and cunning black girl. They hugged and kissed each other in front of the departing train as if no one was around, and you could only watch blankly from the side… How sad it is… Wahhhhhhh!!”
The next moment, Eriri curled up in the chair, holding her head and crying bitterly.
"...Um...did I say something wrong?"
Looking at Eriri who was crying with her head in her hands, Aoba didn't know what to say for a moment, while Shi Nong sighed helplessly.
"I don't know what's going on, but that extremely detailed description doesn't seem like a fictional plot at all... Just let her vent for a while."
