Ark, I got cold a little early

Will and Ace said this at a collective drinking party for operators in Rhodes Island.

"Impossible! If Yu wasn't here right now, how could Her Majesty Theresa be unable to control a mere Yu?"

Ace patted his chest and promised: "I bet! The final winner will definitely be Her Majesty Theresa!"

"Okay, what's the bet?"

Will was obviously interested too.

"Let's make a bet... I'll pay for his drinks for a month, no metering, how about that?"

"Heh, I accept your bet, Ace."

Chapter 123: This is what you said, I’m going to confess.

"So, Xiaoyu, what do you want to say?"

Because Hongyu had previously asked him to take off his hood if they were alone together, the doctor did not conceal her appearance at this time.

And what Hongyu just said...about his advice to Kazdel, the doctor certainly saw that Hongyu definitely didn't want to talk about this, but had another topic.

But he pulled himself into the operator dormitory after making sure Logos was not there, and then he remained silent with a conflicted look on his face until now.

"Doctor..."

Suddenly, Hongyu spoke up, "Tell me... if for various reasons, before a person leaves, someone of the opposite sex who has been with them for a long time confesses their love to them... what should that person do?"

"Eh? Confession? That kind of topic?"

The doctor's face froze. "Why do you ask that suddenly?"

This really brought back some... not-so-nice memories.

[What if I like you, Xiaoyu?]

【Then I like you too. 】

[Hahahaha! You've been fooled, haven't you? Precious! I told you that if you said this to someone with even a little bit of emotional connection, Xiaoyu would definitely agree! You lose! Give me the money!]

Ahhhhh!!! Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away! Throw away all these memories!!!

The doctor's expression suddenly became painful.

Why was I so disdainful in the first place?!

"It's just... I just suddenly felt inspired..."

Hongyu's expression was still conflicted. "That is, if something like this really happened, what would you think and what would you decide, Doctor?"

"Eh? Me?"

"Doesn't the doctor know how to deal with this situation?"

Hongyu asked back.

“That’s not the case, is it?”

The doctor, who thought he was older than Hongyu, scratched his head and then asked tentatively: "Then whoever confessed... did the other party like him?"

Like it?

Like? Is it the kind of love between a man and a woman, not between family members?

This feeling... is a little strange...

"Maybe?"

Hongyu thought carefully for a few seconds, then quickly reviewed his time with Inès before answering, "But I definitely don't hate her."

"Just not annoying?"

"...maybe...a little bit...of like?"

Hongyu stammered.

"Then agree!"

The doctor slammed the table and stood up and said loudly.

"But...that person will leave in the end..."

"That's better than leaving both parties with regrets that they don't know when they'll be resolved, right?"

"Doctor, your tone suddenly sounds so heavy..."

"Really? Maybe I remembered something..."

After hearing Hongyu's words, the doctor slowly sat back down.

Memories of previous civilizations constantly washed over my mind, including...

[Leave it to me, Senior. I will handle it.]

This was the last time I saw him since he could remember.

The love I expressed out loud was modified into a joke by myself, and the truth has turned into a regret that remains until now.

So in her opinion, even if the ending is not good, there should be no regrets in the process caused by the ending.

"If you like it, wouldn't it be better to say it out loud?"

The doctor moved his chair next to Hongyu and got in front of him.

"Yeah?"

Somewhat surprisingly, Hongyu did not subconsciously move backwards because of the doctor's approach, as if... he was already used to being at this distance from the doctor.

"Leave no regrets, Xiaoyu. The most important thing in life is to leave no regrets. Even if the ending is bad, it won't affect us from avoiding regrets in the process, right?"

Raising a finger, the doctor poked Hongyu's cheek.

The smell of the various snacks on the other person was a bit strange and hard to describe, but it was not unpleasant. Instead, the mixture of these smells formed a unique fragrance.

I don’t know if the doctor usually carries a bunch of snacks with him. I seem to have seen the doctor eating secretly at a meeting not long ago.

No, what do I want to do with these things?

The question now is...

"No regrets...?"

As if he had been enlightened, Hongyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Doctor. I think... I know what to do."

The doctor crossed his arms in relief, making Zhengyi's bust, which was now more prominent because of the shirt without the coat, even more obvious. He said, "Huh, that's good... ah? What did you say?"

After saying this, the doctor obviously realized something and his expression changed slightly.

"It's just... I know what I should do."

Hongyu chuckled: "That's right, I suddenly remembered... Even if I leave, I can still come back, right?"

If you calculate the time, even if I die right now, according to the timeline of my life in Longmen... then Inès won't have to wait too long.

Thinking of this, Hongyu smiled as he felt the long-lost wave of emotion from the heart.

But this smile seemed a little ominous to the doctor.

"Wait! Xiaoyu, the person you just mentioned was actually... you?!"

His mouth slightly opened, the doctor's eyes full of disbelief.

"So you didn't see it, Doctor? Isn't it obvious? I thought you knew it a long time ago..."

Scratching his head, Hongyu smiled.

No... no, if it were someone else, I would probably immediately think that the so-called "that person" is the narrator "himself", but... but...

Who would have thought that someone with your personality would suddenly consider these things?!

Ah, no, it seems that it's because you're the kind of person that you're considering all this because of a confession from an acquaintance...

But these are not the main point now! The main point is that the person Xiaoyu cares about is not me!

"No...no...wait! So who confessed to you?!"

The doctor asked in a bad tone, his pupils trembling.

"It's Inès."

Hongyu answered truthfully.

I knew it!

The image of Inès and Hongyu holding hands suddenly flashed through his mind, and the doctor slammed the table.

That Caprini really has bad intentions!!

"Um... Doctor? Doesn't your hand hurt?"

Looking at the doctor's hands that were shaking constantly, perhaps because of pain or the drastic fluctuations in his emotions, Hongyu said with concern.

"Do not……"

Doctor: It hurts, but it’s not the pain in my hands, it’s the pain in my heart.

I finished my speech...

Harmful!

Now!

I!

from!

己！

"Xiaoyu..."

"what?"

“Sometimes the ending is important.”

"Isn't this a little different from what you just said, Doctor?"

Although I really like Inès, I really don't favor her... (guilty)

In Hongyu's character setting, whoever confesses first wins, right? (Except for the daughters, who need some more drastic measures.)

By the way, am I forgetting someone? (W:? What about me?)

Damn! I suddenly realized I haven’t written W for a long time!

Okay, let me think carefully about how to increase W's combat power...

Chapter 124 Theresa: Sometimes, people have to be a little mean.

……

"Sometimes...I really wish time would just stop at this point."

Leaning on Hongyu's shoulder, Ines's face revealed a rare look of intoxication and relaxation.

Because Hongyu had already responded to Ines' feelings, the next moment, she took the initiative to kiss Hongyu's lips again.

Although they still separated at the drop of a hat, Hongyu felt that every kiss between him and Inès was a little different.

Is it because of the environment? Or is it because of my change of mindset?

"Inès."

Suddenly, Hongyu said, "If... I mean if... one day I disappear or... die, what will you do?"

"And there are enemies you can't resist?"
