However, in order not to arouse the captain's suspicion, Bronya controlled her desires, took a few breaths, and got up from Anliang's arms.
"Sorry, I lost my balance just now."
"I'm glad you're alright, but just in case, I'll take you back to your hotel!"
Anliang looked at Bronya with concern, but didn't feel any romantic feelings from the girl's embrace.
After all, in An Liang's view, what had just happened was purely accidental, and he had hugged countless Valkyries in the past, so such a brief embrace could not touch his weathered heart.
"No need for that. Bronya really isn't drunk."
The girl's eyes flickered, and she emphasized it earnestly.
"I can tell you're fully conscious, but alcohol can also numb the body. What if you lose your balance and fall like you did just now?"
An Liang's gaze fell on the girl's long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings; the high heels beneath her jade-like feet were clearly the reason for her unsteadiness.
A drunk person might slip and fall even in flat shoes, let alone high heels.
Whether out of a sense of responsibility for having once been involved with a young girl, or out of gentlemanly courtesy, Anliang could not possibly watch Bronya go back on her own like this!
PS: The results of the timed bounty are in. Thanks to everyone's enthusiastic help, the author owes three chapters today.
The debt isn't too much, and I'll try to pay it back in the next few days. After that, the author will consider opening up more bounties, so maybe you can save some votes to put more pressure on the author next time.
Chapter 29 The Captain's Ambition!
"Okay then, please."
Bronya saw that Anliang insisted on taking her back, so she stopped refusing.
She wasn't lying to the captain. A cup of flammable oolong tea was nothing to a girl living in Siberia; it was just that the captain didn't believe it...
Bronya's lips curled up slightly as she reached out and took Anliang's arm, shifting her weight onto him.
"It was really hard to walk in high heels just now. Could you lend me your arm for support for the rest of the way?"
"I can lend it, but wouldn't such an action be a bit too intimate?"
Anliang's expression showed slight hesitation.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hold hands with Bronya. If this were in the past timeline, he wouldn't have minded just carrying Bronya back, since the two of them were extremely familiar with each other.
But he and Bronya have only known each other for two days, so even holding hands is a bit inappropriate.
Furthermore, Anliang was already engaged to Alicia, making him a married man. He wanted to avoid such behavior, which would appear to outsiders as that of a couple.
This is the enlightenment of a pure love warrior!
Bronya could probably guess Anliang's thoughts.
After the captain started dating her, he also took the initiative to keep his distance from other Valkyries. In this respect, the captain is a man who is extremely devoted to his husband.
Bronya admired this quality, but that didn't stop her from trying to snatch the captain away from the other women.
"It's quite normal for friends to hold hands abroad; it's not considered intimate. Besides, Bronya trusts you, so you wouldn't take advantage of your boss, would you?"
The girl blinked her beautiful eyes and said in a joking tone.
Now that things have come to this point, it would seem rather indecisive for Anliang to hesitate any longer.
If people have a good relationship abroad, they might even hug and kiss on the cheek when they meet. Simply holding hands is nothing special; he just needs to be mindful of the distance.
As for Bronya's claim of taking advantage...
Heh, it's not like he hasn't done more intimate things with Bronya in the cycle of reincarnation, so this little bit of advantage isn't even a benefit to him.
I feel... I should go back and tease Alicia instead.
Anliang thought to himself, then nodded calmly.
"Then let's go, I'll take you home."
"Yes, my hotel isn't far from here, let's go this way."
Bronya saw that Anliang had been persuaded by her, and a hint of joy flashed in her light gray eyes.
Without taking another step closer, the girl maintained a perfect balance, like a skilled dancer gracefully stepping across the line of near and far.
Anliang followed closely behind, his arm slightly bent so that Bronya could hold him better, while also avoiding accidentally brushing against the girl's chest as they walked.
There is something to say...
If it were Spain in the past, he wouldn't need to care about something that doesn't exist.
But now that Spain has become a giant duck, and the flat airport has grown into a mountain comparable to Alicia, Anliang needs to be careful about his actions at all times.
While it could be explained by the fact that Bronya's puberty came relatively late, is it really possible for a little girl to develop to this extent in just a few years?
An Liang recalled Fu Hua, whose figure remained unchanged in this world, and couldn't help but sigh that one cannot generalize about the physical constitution of different people.
"Speaking of which, Bronya, why did you decide to come to Sky City to make games?"
As Anliang slowly walked along the street, he seemed to remember something and took the initiative to start a conversation.
The two had now left the commercial street and come to a quiet road.
The night was as still as water, deep and mysterious.
The girl looked up at the soft moonlight, and gently stroked the strands of hair by her ear as the breeze blew by.
"Why did I come to Sky City to make games?"
Bronya enjoyed the feeling of being able to rely on the young man beside her again. Her voice was lazy and flat, giving the impression of a well-fed cat basking in the sun.
"How should I put it? I think the game industry in Shenzhou has a lot of room for development. In addition, I have some connections with Anti-Entropy Entertainment, and Anti-Entropy Entertainment's company in Shenzhou is located in Tianqiong City. So I considered developing in Tianqiong City."
The girl's words were somewhat ambiguous.
However, Anliang understood what Bronya meant.
It turns out that the heir of Anti-Entropy came to inspect the Shenzhou branch, and also took the opportunity to open a game studio to hone his skills and expand his business.
But what Anliang didn't know was...
Bronya chose to come to China primarily because she wanted to find him.
After being reborn, the girl never stopped searching for the captain.
The girl had hacked into population databases around the world, and even though she couldn't find the captain's information, Bronya didn't give up. She turned her attention to the captain's hometown, planning to slowly search for the captain while developing her career in China.
totally unexpected……
I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd. Suddenly, I turned around, and there he was, in the dim light.
The girl finally received a stroke of luck; she had just acquired a game company when the captain she had been searching for came to her door.
The fact that the captain was already engaged made her a little unhappy...
Although she knew it was because the captain had no memory, Bronya couldn't help but tighten her grip on Anliang's hand slightly.
"Bronya?"
An Liang's somewhat puzzled voice came through.
Bronya snapped out of her daze, loosened her grip, and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about how the studio should develop in the future, and I got a little distracted for a moment."
"I understand, it must be a lot of pressure for you to be your first boss..."
An Liang nodded. Based on his understanding of Bronya, the girl probably had the idea of proving herself by starting her own business after leaving Anti-Entropy.
Inheriting a top-ranked global company like Anti-Entropy is no easy feat, and Bronya, unlike the ruthless Otto, is not adept at political maneuvering, so she will inevitably feel pressure about the future.
"The Principle Studio is currently short-staffed, with only three members, but I believe that under your leadership, this small studio will definitely surpass Anti-Entropy Destiny in the future."
"No matter how much you flatter her, Bronya won't give you a raise."
The girl coughed lightly, but the smile on her lips betrayed her feelings.
Being favored by someone is always a good thing, especially since that person is the captain, which makes Bronya even more pleased.
"This isn't flattery; it's my honest opinion."
An Liang smiled noncommittally.
He knew Bronya's abilities well; with her computer skills alone, plus his help, she could easily recreate all the popular games he was familiar with before his transmigration.
Destiny? Anti-entropy?
They're just cheapskates, destined to be slaughtered by the Principle Studio!
PS: Although Big Duck's current focus has shifted from starting a business to having an affair with the captain, the captain himself still dreams of doing something big and making money to support Alicia.
Therefore, the author will continue to write about game development, but it won't be the old-fashioned Honkai Impact 3rd. You can guess what the first game from the original studio will be; the answer will be revealed soon.
Chapter 30: It was Eden who protected this home!
Outside an exquisitely decorated upscale hotel...
Anliang stopped and withdrew his hand from the girl's arm without hesitation.
This is where Bronya is staying temporarily. Judging from the cheeky yellow rabbit statue placed at the entrance, this hotel themed around Houmu might actually be the property of Anti-Entropy.
To be honest, Anliang doesn't quite understand why people in this world like Houmu so much.
As far as he knew, this adorable yet mischievous yellow rabbit was created by Walter Yang, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.
Perhaps Lao Yang got a little tired of drawing mecha, because for a while he didn't participate in the animation design of "Alahato". Instead, he casually drew a comic called "Houmu's Great Adventure".
Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.
Compared to hardcore mecha, the general public seems to prefer this kind of comedic mascot, which is why the Houmu IP unexpectedly became a hit.
Afterwards, Anti-Entropy Entertainment developed a series of games based on the Houmu IP.
Games like "Houmu Brawl," "Houmu Adventure," and "Houmu Racing," while family-friendly games, have achieved unprecedented sales, even surpassing the sales of Destiny's "Kallen Fantasy" series.
In Anliang's view...
For Anti-Entropy, Houmu is like Mickey Mouse to Disney—a sure-fire cash cow.
The only problem is that Anti-Entropy's legal department is a bit lacking; they don't go to the point of sending someone to sue even if someone draws a Houmu on a deserted island.
On the contrary, it's Destiny's "Kallen Fantasy" series...
If anyone dares to put anything nonsensical in Karen's fanfiction, no matter where in the world, Schicksal's lawyer's letter will be delivered within an hour, and there's a chance you'll see a blond, blue-eyed man in the plaintiff's seat.
Tsk tsk, Otto is really petty.
In previous cycles, if anyone surpassed Otto's ranking in "Kallen Fantasy," this guy would directly ban his account; he really has no shame.
Anliang made a casual sarcastic remark about Otto, then turned his gaze to Bronya.
"I'll leave you here. Get some rest when you get back."
"Won't you come up and sit for a bit? Bronya is staying in the presidential suite on the top floor; it's quite spacious!"
The girl's beautiful eyes were slightly hazy with intoxication as she softly extended an invitation.
An Liang shook his head and decisively refused, saying, "Forget it, it's getting late, and my fiancée is waiting for me at home!"
"What a good family man! Bronya won't force you then..."
The girl nodded calmly, but her tone sounded a little strange. "Speaking of which, Bronya doesn't know where you live. Would you mind telling me?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this?!"
An Liang paused for a moment, his expression somewhat puzzled.
Considering Bronya's hacker identity, could the girl be trying to open his box...? No, wait, you don't just ask for the address offline to open a box.
Anliang almost laughed at his own guess, and then he heard Bronya's explanation.
"Bronya will be staying in Sky City for a long time, and she can't just stay in hotels all the time, so she's considering buying a house."
The girl used an excuse she had prepared beforehand, looking directly into An Liang's eyes and said, "If it's suitable, Bronya could perhaps be your neighbor, so we can discuss any work-related matters in the future."
Ah this...
