After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Anliang was amused by Qingque's appearance and followed her out of the Principles Studio.

"Yes, work is so hard, of course we need to relax by playing mahjong... If I get criticized by the boss, I go play a few rounds of mahjong; if I can't finish my work, I go play a few rounds of mahjong. Ah, I would call mahjong my savior!"

"It's only natural," Qingque said, her beautiful emerald green eyes sparkling.

This mahjong prodigy was truly born in the wrong world.

If one were born into a world where playing mahjong is the main activity, even a skilled mahjong player could earn titles like "Game King" or "Legendary Mahjong Saint."

"Speaking of which, there are mahjong competitions in real life. Qingque, since you love playing mahjong so much, why don't you become a professional player and participate in competitions to earn some prize money?"

Anliang looked at Qingque, who was engrossed in playing mahjong, and asked with some curiosity.

"I play mahjong out of interest. Work is work, and interest is interest. If you treat your interest as work, the end result will only be that you go from loving it to being tired of it."

Qingque raised his index finger and uttered some rather philosophical words.

Anliang agreed, saying that he was happy when he drew doujinshi out of interest, but when he had to consider the profit, he couldn't feel happy even when drawing his favorite erotic pictures.

"Work and interests should indeed not be confused. I've learned something new."

"Hehe, it's just a little insight. By the way, Anliang, are you free? How about we get together?"

Qingque scratched his head and smiled, extending an invitation with a look of anticipation.

Getting people involved in the game can be quite fun. If Anliang can develop a liking for playing mahjong, then she'll have something in common to talk about when she's slacking off at work.

"Haha, I'll pass, I still have to go home and cook..."

An Liang shrugged, politely declining.

If he has time, he wouldn't mind playing a few rounds with Qingque.

But now, besides Alicia, there are also Gretsch and Möbius at home. As the best cook, he naturally has to rush back to feed these three hungry mouths. In addition, he also has to keep an eye on Alicia to make sure she doesn't come up with any new or unusual dishes...

An Liang thought to himself, and just then, his phone vibrated with a message.

He took it out and saw that, as if on cue, the sender was none other than Alicia.

[Miss Pink Fairy?: Anliang, look back.]

Anliang was a little puzzled by the text message, but still glanced behind him, and then his eyes widened slightly.

About ten meters away, the flawless girl stood in the glow of the setting sun, waving her phone at An Liang. Her long pink hair fluttered in the wind, and a faint smile played on her lips, making her look like a dreamlike fairy.

Beside the girl was an adorable little girl with blue hair, dressed in a white children's outfit, who was also waving happily at Anliang.

"Hi, Anliang-gege, did you miss me~?"

Did Gretsch finally get stained with Alicia's colors after staying at home all day?

An Liang rubbed his temples, his expression showing undisguised surprise.

"Why...why did you suddenly come here?"

"Because I wanted to surprise you! How about it, weren't you touched~?"

Alicia took Gretchen's small hand and walked up to Anliang, smiling as she spoke.

“Miss Fairy has always been waiting for you at home, and has never experienced what it’s like to pick you up from home… In addition, Little Gretchen is also very curious about your workplace, so we came together.”

"Yes, I want to see Anliang's art studio, so I'll ask Alicia to take me with me."

Greta nodded, looking at An Liang with her innocent purple eyes.

"Uh, that's called a studio. Although I usually paint here, it's still very different from an art studio."

An Liang gave a wry smile and tried his best to explain in a way that Gretchen could understand.

Meanwhile, Qingque, looking at the two girls in front of Anliang, especially noticing that Alicia was also wearing an engagement ring on her left hand, immediately understood what was going on.

"Um, you're from Anliang..."

PS: Hehehe, you didn't expect this, did you? Alicia and Big Duck will meet in this way. Although it won't lead to a bloodbath, it can start to get a little twisted!

Chapter 72 Alicia's First Meeting with the Big Duck

"Oops, I forgot to introduce myself~?"

At this moment, Alicia also noticed Qingque next to Anliang. Her beautiful pink and blue eyes lit up, and she greeted her warmly.

"My name is Alicia, and I'm Anliang's fiancée. This is Gretchen. You must be Anliang's colleague, right?"

"Yes, I am Qingque, a screenwriter from the Principle Studio."

Qingque nodded in agreement, her little face showing undisguised surprise.

She knew Anliang had a fiancée, but she didn't expect her to be so beautiful, and she didn't even look like she was from China... Anliang is quite skilled at picking up girls, isn't he?

Speaking of which, hasn't she heard the name Alicia somewhere before? And her appearance seems familiar too?

Qingque tried hard to search her memory, then seemed to remember something, her tone somewhat uncertain.

“Alice… I remember there was a very famous video blogger on the internet with that name, and she was also called Miss Pink Fairy by her fans.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the person you're talking about should be me."

Alicia readily admitted, chuckling, "Hehehe, you haven't seen my videos, have you?"

"I saw it when I was slacking off at work and playing on my phone. Your travel videos are really good."

Qingque scrutinized Alicia several more times, then turned to Anliang with a look of astonishment: "I remember the news of the Pink Fairy's engagement trending for a while, but I never imagined that her fiancé would be..."

"Ahem, I didn't mean to hide it from you, after all, you didn't ask me who my fiancée is?"

An Liang shrugged and said with an innocent look on his face.

He wasn't the type to be high-profile; he just wanted to live a peaceful life after saving the world. Of course, he wouldn't go around showing off that his fiancée was Alicia just because they were engaged.

Qingque understood Anliang's thoughts; she usually liked to be a harmless and low-key little sparrow.

but……

Your colleague, who was just an ordinary person like you, was suddenly revealed to have a famous celebrity wife.

What kind of old-fashioned urban novel plot is this? The thing is, he actually succeeded in showing off!

Qingque looked at Anliang's upturned lips and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Alright, it's not too late for me to know about your relationship now. Miss Pink Fairy's fiancé, don't hide it from me when you get married. I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine."

"sure."

Anliang smiled and scratched his head, while Alicia happily agreed. The fairy-like girl, who loved excitement, naturally hoped that the more people there were at her wedding, the better.

"By the way, do you already have a daughter?"

Qingque chatted with Alicia, who was in high spirits, for a few minutes, then curiously shifted her gaze to Gretchen and asked her teasingly.

This petite and adorable blue-haired girl stood obediently between Anliang and Alicia, holding onto the hem of one of their clothes with each hand.

From a distance, they really do look like a family of three.

"What?! Anliang has a daughter?!"

Bronya, who had just arrived at the studio entrance after noticing Anliang and Qingque standing there, assumed something had happened, only to be met with words that struck her like a thunderbolt.

Wasn't the captain just engaged? How come his daughter is already here?!

Bronya was blinded by concern. The Herrscher of Reason, known for her high intelligence, didn't even have time to consider whether it was true or false. Her light gray eyes lost their luster in an instant.

If the captain is only engaged, then she still has a good chance of winning him over.

But if the captain already has a daughter and a complete family, wouldn't that mean that the captain was already married to another woman several years ago, and Bronya would never have another chance to get her way?

Ugh, no way! Don't touch him, no other woman is allowed to touch my captain!

Bronya was filled with grief and indignation, her shoulders trembling slightly as she felt like the ultimate victim who had discovered that none of her three children were her biological offspring.

Just when the girl was about to lose control of her emotions...

"Don't talk nonsense! Look at my age, do you think I could have a daughter that big?!"

An Liang waved his hand dismissively, and his words brought Bronya back to her senses.

Bronya, regaining her senses, took a deep breath and looked at Gretchen. She found that, as the captain had said, the girl looked to be almost in middle school, and her hair and eye colors did not match the captain's.

Oh, it was just a false alarm!

Bronya's beautiful eyes regained their sparkle.

She was just thinking that since there was no hope of winning over the captain, she would have no choice but to force herself on him and lock him up in a place where no detector could find him...

It seems that we don't need to go that far yet.

Bronya thought to herself, a faint smile appearing on her usually expressionless face.

"Anliang, who are these two people next to you?"

Before Anliang could answer, Alicia had already taken the initiative and enthusiastically grabbed Bronya's hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Alicia, Hua's good friend. You must be Bronya. I've heard Hua mention you before."

"Hey, is this someone the class monitor knows?"

Bronya was somewhat surprised and caught off guard by Alicia's initiative.

For Da Ya Ya, who has a homebody personality, she is not good at dealing with Alicia, who can be described as a social terrorist. However, after realizing that Alicia is the captain's fiancée, Da Ya Ya did not show any fear, but instead planned to look for Alicia's weaknesses.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Only by understanding her competitors can Bronya be more confident in winning over the captain!

Bronya glanced discreetly at Alicia's engagement ring on her left hand, bit her lower lip lightly, and said calmly.

"Since you're a friend of the class monitor, why don't you come inside the studio for a bit?"

Alicia was somewhat tempted and wanted to have a good chat with Bronya, and also see if she could find out anything about Fu Hua in St. Freya, to satisfy the fairy's curiosity.

But Anliang pulled Alicia back at that moment, stopping her, saying, "Bronya has to take care of things at the new house later, so don't keep her in there."

Bronya's expression froze instantly.

Well, compared to the importance of gathering information about the BOSS, Bronya doesn't mind being delayed for a while...

Unfortunately, this was something that couldn't be said aloud, and Bronya could only watch helplessly as Alicia changed her mind.

"I see. Then I won't bother you any longer."

After chatting with Bronya about Fu Hua for a while, Alicia regretfully said goodbye to Bronya.

"Come visit Golden Courtyard sometime! I'll invite Hua, and we can have a girls' tea party together!"

"Yes, Bronya will definitely go if the time is right."

Bronya answered with a stiff smile, watching Alicia leave intimately with Gretchen in one hand and Anliang on the other, like a family of three.

Once Anliang and his two companions disappeared at the end of the street...

Bronya finally lost control of her expression, pursed her lips in resentment, and clenched her hands tightly, letting her nails dig deep into her palms.

P.S.: Since Alicia has now taken the position of the main heroine, and Bronya is the challenger, Big Duck is acting a bit like a loser... However, this is only the beginning of the war, and it's hard to say who will have the last laugh, hehehe.

Bronya's birthday side story (if route)

That happened in one of the previous cycles of reincarnation...

The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the deck of the Hyperion, and the hazy moonlight spilled into the ship's main control room.

Happy birthday, Bronya.

Wearing the white uniform of a captain, Anliang smiled and handed the carefully prepared gift to the girl.

"This is... a discontinued Houmu doll?"

Bronya's beautiful eyes widened, and her pretty face, which had been expressionless for a long time due to damage to her emotional circuits, showed a few pixel-like changes at this moment.

"On the market, these rare Houmu dolls are worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, and most collectors would not sell them. Captain must have put in a lot of effort to get them."

"It was a bit troublesome to buy this, but I'm glad you like it."
