Ark, I got cold a little early

"I know, doesn't Gloria have a lot of opinions about her mother..." Hongyu waved his hand.

Seeing Hongyu's nonchalant look and the fact that he had actually heard that there was a big rift between Gloria and her mother, and then looking at Hongyu's handsome appearance, Ulpian instantly thought of all kinds of stories in his mind, such as "The rebellious young lady eloped with a commoner and was finally stopped by the young lady's family", and finally he sighed.

"Yu, the waters of Gloria are very deep, you can't control it. Take my advice and give up this impossible love..." Ulpian patted Hongyu's shoulder earnestly.

It seems to me that apart from joining the army, you don’t have any other chance to succeed.

"I'm her landlord. She ran away from home and had no money to pay the rent, so I asked her to cook. Old Wu, what are you thinking?" Hongyu turned to look at Ulpian. It seemed that the black lenses could not block his speechless eyes.

"Tsk..."

Hey, you definitely just said "tsk," didn't you?

"But putting this topic aside, how do you know Gloria?" Hongyu asked curiously.

"She's a true genius, and geniuses... naturally have to be famous. Like, she won all the awards for Agor's aspiring young people..." Ulpian recalled, pinching his chin. "When I first joined the army... she seemed to have just made a name for herself in the Agor academy, and I heard that she had a big disagreement with her mother, the Archon..."

"At the time, rumors were circulating in my team that she'd definitely choose to enlist secretly. The battlefield was like a larger chessboard to her, and she was a natural-born battlefield architect. I guess the school you mentioned this morning... was probably one that directly connected to the military."

"She is indeed excellent..." Hongyu sighed.

Maybe it's because Gloria usually just cooks and reads in Hongyu, so it's not obvious at ordinary times, but she is indeed a very outstanding person from the inside out.

Especially the fact that she can cook for me is really great.

"So, she's probably determined to fight her mother, the Archon, to the bitter end, right? Indeed, if she joins the army, it would be a complete departure from her mother's plans for her..."

"That's her own choice. I support her anyway." Hongyu waved his hand to express his position.

"What about you?" Ulpian suddenly asked.

"What about me?"

"...Forget it, it's nothing."

"Oh, you want to ask...what should I do if I choose not to join the army?"

"...Probably." It is undeniable that Ulpian once had such an idea, but he rejected it in the end.

Hongyu has his own life, so why should I disturb him?

"Maybe, maybe you will see me in the army one day?" Hongyu said with a smile.

I will definitely get involved in the plot of Deep Sea Hunter, but not now.

Maybe I will try it after the Deep Sea Hunter surgery is completed. After all, my combat effectiveness will be improved by then.

Ishamara stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant in Longmen.

"Skadi, how about we try this one for lunch today?"

Looking at the hot pot restaurant that was doing pretty good business, Skadi nodded.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, there sat a white Nian beast, reviewing the surveillance video provided by Wei Yangwu.

py recommends the book: "Arknights, All Members Modulated!"

Here is a brief introduction:

"My name is Qi Yu, and I'm probably the last human. My wife asked me to sleep alone until the next century, and I will take on the mission of saving humanity."

"During this time, I can play a high-freedom RPG called 'Arknights'."

"In this game, I don't know who I am, and I don't know what I want to do. I only know that I want to indulge myself, indulge myself!"

"Hey, is the system malfunctioning? Where's the main quest? Where's the strategy target? Most importantly, where are the NPCs?"

"Why am I trapped at the starting point alone? I'm losing my mind!"

"..."

When Tallulah opened her eyes, she saw the black-haired young man in front of her.

At the same time, the young man also saw her.

Looking at the Dragon Lady Tallulah opposite him and the series of indescribable options displayed on the modulation mode, Qi Yu fell into deep thought.

It’s just a game anyway, which one should I click first?

Chapter 45: Gloria prepares to leave

"Well, I went to military school, and maybe I'll leave in a few days."

Facing Hongyu's question, Gloria remained very calm.

"Eh?! No, who will cook when you leave?!" But Gloria's calmness did not elicit Hongyu's calmness. He had an expression as if saying, "The sky is about to fall. No, I want to create a world where I don't have to cook every day!"

"Oh, of course it's you." Facing Hongyu's antics, Goletia chuckled and said, "Maybe that little Skadi will be very happy after I'm gone. After all, she can eat her favorite food cooked by Yu again."

Skadi: A foodie will never be a slave! Watch me sing the elegy of the tide!

"No, it's true that she'll be happy to eat my cooking again, but she'll definitely be sad about you leaving." Hong Yu retorted, "For her, it might not be obvious on the surface, but she has long considered you a part of this place. She will definitely not be happy about you leaving."

"But, speaking of which, where is that little fellow Skadi?"

"Oh, she was sent to school by me." Hongyu showed a bad adult smile.

"She definitely won't agree, right?" Gloria smiled.

"Yeah, it was a big fight back then." Hongyu nodded, "But a child is just a child. I still sent her in with two killer whale dolls as compensation."

"Does she like dolls and other things?" Gloria pinched her chin, thinking about whether she should prepare a farewell gift for Skadi in advance.

"To be precise, anything related to killer whales." Hongyu nodded and replied, then asked, "Why, you have a hobby in this area too? Do you want a swordfish doll?"

"No, that thing is not necessary..." Gloria waved her hand to refuse, and then she saw Hongyu take out a white swordfish pillow from somewhere.

"Yes, I prepared it for you."

"...?" Gloria was stunned and asked with a puzzled expression, "Were you prepared all along? Did you say all that just to get me to say that?"

"How is that possible? I made this swordfish pillow, okay?" Hongyu told the truth.

Are you saying that in the fraction of a second that it takes me to blink an eye, you completed the whole process of taking materials, sewing, coloring...?

Please, can you please be realistic when you brag?

Goletia nodded helplessly: "Okay, just take it as I believe it."

She reached out and took the pillow that Hongyu handed to her. Although she didn't really like things with cute styles, an inexplicable warmth began to spread gradually in her heart.

It feels pretty good...

This kind of thing seems... okay...

There was an imperceptible tenderness and joy on Golletia's face.

But... I never got anything from my mother, right? Except for endless etiquette lessons, endless lessons, and expectations that were like an abyss...

Thinking of this, Gloria gradually tightened her grip on the swordfish pillow.

"If you have hair loss or frizz, remember to tell me. Although as long as you don't chew on a pillow while sleeping like Skadi, you shouldn't have any problems..."

"No, of course I won't act like a child." Gloria said helplessly.

I will cherish this gift.

Thank you.

As Goletia thought about it, her eyes became much gentler when she looked at Hongyu.

……

……

……

"What? This woman... Is Gloria leaving?" During dinner, Hongyu picked up Skadi from school. When she came back, she was holding two killer whale dolls of different colors in her hands, and her expression was like a cat that had been petted until it melted.

After hearing that this was the last time he would eat Gloria's cooking, the little guy rarely called her "that woman".

With obvious reluctance in her eyes, Skadi turned her head away: "If you want to leave, leave quickly!... Don't... don't delay. You should be doing something very important, right?"

Maybe she wanted to say something harsh, but Skadi knew that she didn't say anything harsh in the end. Instead, she seemed to care about Gloria.

"Of course, this is indeed very important to me." Gloria didn't care about the harsh words that Skadi didn't say, but replied with a chuckle.

"I knew it... If it wasn't something very important, why would you leave Yu? Yu is such a good person..." Skadi muttered softly.

My child, that was in Agor, I couldn’t tie you to a kite when you were a kid and you were the most naughty…

Hongyu thought maliciously.

After hearing Skadi's words, Goletia and Hongyu looked at each other and chuckled.

Yes, I've gotten used to this guy after being with him for so long, and when the time comes to part ways, I'm a little reluctant.

After all, apart from this guy, no one would be stupid enough to give himself such a gift.

But apart from him, it seems that no one in my life can be real enough... to send a gift that does not contain any other thoughts, but only contains concern for myself.

"I'll go pack my things first." Gloria stood up and walked towards her room.

"Want some help or something?"

"no need."

"Golatia."

"?" Gloria turned around and looked at Hongyu.

"If you have time, you can come back and visit. I will not touch your room except for basic cleaning. There will always be a place for you in this store." Hongyu smiled, and his expression seemed the same as always, but it was a little different from his usual fake smile.

"Ah."

————————————————————

Hongyu gave dolls or pillows to everyone, yes, including Ulpian.

Lying in his bedroom was an extremely large...dolphin.

"Ah... I'm finally off work..." The tired Ulpian opened the door of his house and began to struggle with his thoughts for the twentieth time today: "Should I follow the example of my teammates and run to land, leaving Gloria to handle Agor's paperwork alone?"

"Forget it. Gloria will definitely run to the land and hunt me down at all costs." He twisted his stiff waist, making a few "cracking" sounds.

Ulpian lay on the huge dolphin pillow and gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep.

(Meme Encyclopedia: Ulpian's Japanese voice actor is the same as Jotaro's, and Jotaro, as an oceanographer, really likes dolphins.)

(I guess most people know this, but I'll explain it just in case.)

Chapter 46 Laurentina: Yu, you are so stupid.

"So this isn't an exhibition shop?" Looking at the sudden increase in customers in the store, Laurentina asked Hongyu, who looked pleased, with the sculpture carving knife in her hand.

"No, you'd better not mention this matter. Whenever I think of it, I feel like a fool..." Realizing that the girl in front of him should be full of literary and artistic atmosphere instead of full of swear words, Hongyu held back the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"?" Laurentina expressed her curiosity, but Hongyu hesitated and refused to answer.

Perhaps it was Hongyu's concealment of his flaws that made her realize something was wrong. Laurentina, who had been with him for a year, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Could it be... you didn't even know how to sell it at the time... and it ended up becoming an exhibition store without you even realizing it?"

Hongyu: ...

Tsk, it’s a pity again that Agor has no kite to fly.

"Oh my, you are worthy of it, Yu. There are so many customers as soon as the shop opens. As an apprentice, I am so proud~" Laurentina's teasing eyes made Hongyu turn his head away.

If you didn't mention the good luck in opening the business, we could still be a pair of very good master and apprentice.

That's not right. Did Laurentina still have the attributes of a female ghost when she was a child?
