After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Under the influence of muscle memory, An Liang finished in just one second, only to realize that he had habitually made Bronya a cup of heart-shaped coffee.

Anliang initially thought it wasn't a big problem, since the soaking was already done, so he figured he might as well leave it at that.

Anyway, there are plenty of coffee shops outside that sell heart-shaped coffees, it's just for looks, Bronya probably won't care.

However, after the girl stared at him intently, An Liang actually felt a little guilty.

"No, I really like it, I'm just a little surprised that you can also do latte art."

Bronya also realized what had happened, coughed lightly, and composed herself after her slight loss of composure.

Although it was a coincidence, being able to drink the captain's homemade coffee again made last night's sleepless night worthwhile...

Bronya sighed as she brought the latte to her lips.

Steam rose gently from the cup, filling the air with the rich aroma of coffee and milk, instantly rousing the girl's drowsy mind.

She glanced at Anliang furtively, then, as if testing the coffee's temperature, she slightly parted her cherry lips, stuck out her adorable tongue, and gently licked the heart-shaped latte art.

After completing this slightly sensual action, Bronya elegantly sipped her coffee.

Bronya savored the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness of the latte on her taste buds, the richness of the coffee and the smooth sweetness of the milk blending together, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"The taste is also great, subordinate. If you were to become a barista, you could probably make a lot of money... If the studio goes out of business, Bronya might be able to sponsor you to open a coffee shop."

"It's better if it doesn't go out of business; I prefer painting."

Anliang smiled and shrugged when he heard Bronya's praise.

Coffee brewing is only a minor part of his culinary skills, and he only learned them for those who loved them, not intending to use them as a means of making a living.

"What closure? What coffee?"

At this moment, Qingque, who had heard the commotion, also curiously scurried over and saw the latte in Bronya's hand.

"Wow, the studio doesn't have much equipment for making coffee, Anliang, yet you can still make such a beautiful latte. Could you make me one too?"

"Alright, it's nothing."

Anliang looked at Qingque, who was clasping her hands together and looking at her expectantly, and casually agreed.

"Hehe, thanks! By the way, can the latte art design be drawn in the shape of mahjong tiles?"

"So many demands, do you really think I'm a barista... Tsk, at most I'll just draw a whiteboard for you."

Anliang clicked his tongue, then sighed and walked towards the lounge area. Qingque followed him, chatting and laughing, and very attentively helped him get hot water.

Bronya watched the harmonious atmosphere among the employees, leaned back in her chair, gently swirled the coffee in her cup, and took another sip.

Ah, it's so nice, it tastes just like before...

As the girl savored the flavor of her latte, all the pressure that had been building up inside her transformed into motivation.

Even if it's just so she can have a cup of love-filled coffee every day, she'll do everything she can to defeat Alicia and win the captain back!

However, by then, she probably won't be satisfied with just drinking the captain's coffee.

Haha, I heard that milk isn't the only thing that can be used for latte art; there are other white liquids that can foam too...

Bronya watched Anliang's retreating figure, licked the milk stains from the corner of her mouth, and looked at him with the hunger of a silver wolf.

PS: Among the many Valkyries, I always feel that the Russian girls, Big Duck and Seele, are the most adept at playing the game. The others are either clueless or gentle and virtuous wives.

But it doesn't matter. The current version of the Valkyries has undergone ample training, and each of them knows the Captain's body inside and out. They will surely bring endless surprises to the protagonist in the future!

Chapter 82 Bronya Wants the Captain to Live Together

Anliang probably didn't expect this either...

He simply made Bronya a cup of coffee, just like in the cycle of reincarnation, and that aroused the girl's desire for him.

Oh, that's not quite accurate.

Desire already existed in Bronya's heart, and it grew stronger over time.

After finding the captain, Bronya finally had an outlet for her desires. Even without that cup of coffee, the girl's plans would not have changed!

only……

On Leong's "Love Latte" undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Gazing at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the girl recalled the happy times she had spent with the captain in her past life, and drank her coffee sip by sip.

The warm liquid entered her stomach, making her lower abdomen feel slightly hot. Bronya's usually indifferent expression seemed to become somewhat excited, and the haggardness caused by insomnia was swept away.

No, I didn't add anything to my coffee!

An Liang looked at Bronya, who was radiant with joy, with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Coffee does have a stimulating effect, but it's about the same as applying Tiger Balm to your temples; it doesn't work as quickly as Tiger Balm... How did Bronya manage to act like she was on stimulants?

Even when he fed Alicia mouth-to-mouth at home, the effect wasn't this dramatic...

As Anliang pondered, he glanced at Qingque not far away.

This mahjong prodigy sat at her workstation, taking advantage of a coffee break to sneak in some fun. Her lazy demeanor made it seem like she might doze off at any moment.

It's confirmed that Bronya's high spirits have nothing to do with coffee.

So, what exactly made Big Duck so energetic? It couldn't be because he brewed the coffee himself, could it?

Anliang was even more confused. After thinking for a while, he finally shook his head.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. As long as Big Duck is in good spirits, that way she can finish her work and rest sooner.

……

Two hours later.

Bronya stopped typing away on the keyboard, stretched, and then smiled contentedly.

"Anliang, thanks to your coffee, I have the energy to finish my work today."

"Well, it's just a cup of coffee, it doesn't really help much."

Anliang scratched his head and told the truth.

He sat at the workstation next to Bronya, watching the girl unleash a work efficiency several times higher than before... This couldn't possibly be the effect of coffee.

It now seems that Bronya was probably exhausted to a certain extent, and her body began to secrete hormones such as dopamine and adrenaline, making her brain more alert and excited than usual.

Many people stay up all night and become more energetic, which is also due to this reason.

However, if this happens frequently, it can easily lead to endocrine disorders and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and the harm to the body should not be underestimated.

"Bronya, now that you've finished your work, you should take a break."

For the sake of the girl's health, Anliang earnestly suggested, "You can leave the other things in the studio to me and Qingque. You can sleep in the lounge area without worry."

"Yeah, I was fine when I was focused on my work, but now that I've relaxed, the feeling of being tired and sleepy has come back."

Bronya seemed to be getting sleepy; a hint of drowsiness flashed in her light gray eyes as she yawned.

"Then I'll go rest, but this time I won't sleep on the sofa in the lounge area."

Are you planning to go straight back to the hotel?

Anliang turned to look at his boss and guessed curiously.

Bronya chuckled and shook her head, pulling a key from her pocket: "You forgot, I bought a house upstairs."

"But you only got the house yesterday, can you move in so soon?"

An Liang gasped, his expression one of surprise.

It only took two days from buying the house to moving in. Isn't that a bit too fast?!

"It wasn't very fast. The apartment upstairs was already furnished. As for the furniture and such, I used a little bit of my money."

Bronya waved her hand dismissively and said, "Besides, this house was originally bought for my convenience as an office, so there's no need to decorate it too complicatedly. I just set up a few rooms for resting."

"I see……"

Anliang looked as if he had just realized something, and then he saw the girl toss the key over to him.

He instinctively reached out and caught the key, tilting his head in slight confusion.

"Bronya, what are you doing?"

"As I said, this is a house for convenient office use. As a member of the studio, when you need to rest here during your lunch break or when you work late and need to stay overnight, you can choose to rest in the house upstairs."

Bronya controlled her expression and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

"This, this isn't quite right. After all, you bought the house, and my home isn't that far from the studio."

Anliang was still somewhat hesitant.

Given Bronya's tendency to work overtime, she'll probably be living here for most of the time from now on.

And as a grown man, no matter how much Bronya trusted him, she shouldn't have just handed over her house key to him.

"Take it, Qingque will get one too. Consider it an employee benefit. I've already prepared rooms for both of you."

Bronya actually pulled out another key, handed it to Qingque, and then casually offered some advice.

“Anliang, you’re an experienced veteran in the game industry. You should know that we’re doing well making single-player games, but after the game is released, we still have to keep an eye on the backend, check player feedback, fix bugs urgently, and deal with community issues… During that time, we’ll inevitably have to live in the studio. It’s convenient for you to work if you have a house key.”

"Okay, I'll accept it then."

Since things had come to this point, Anliang did not refuse anymore.

Just think of it as an extra employee dormitory upstairs in the company building, and Qingque can also go there to rest. Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem so strange.

Bronya saw Anliang put the key in his pocket, and a slow smile slowly curved her lips.

Good, at least the captain finally accepted the house key...

The strategy plan has taken another important step!

Although she gave the key to Qingque, Bronya knew Qingque's personality well.

Given the chance, Qingque, a screenwriter who loves to slack off, will avoid working overtime whenever possible, and would never even consider living in the studio.

For this reason, Bronya only needs to manipulate the work arrangements to greatly reduce the number of times Bluebird rests in the upstairs room, creating the impression that only the captain has to stay overnight.

And by then...

A single man and a single woman living under the same roof—what else could that be but cohabitation?!

Even though this is different from cohabitation between a real male and female couple, it can still provide great help to Bronya's plan to win over the captain.

The girl brushed her light gray hair aside with her hand, and as she thought about what would happen in the future, she narrowed her beautiful eyes with pleasure.

Heh, it's time for the captain to end his days of living with that wicked woman outside...

Next up is Bronya's turn!

P.S.: Big Duck has resorted to despicable capitalist tactics, forcing the protagonist to stay and work overtime overnight, definitely intending to sexually harass him! But will Seele, who is about to appear, make things go so smoothly? Hehehe, the sisters' civil war in Cocolia's orphanage—to see a plot like this is worth dying for!

Chapter 83 The Captain's View on Love

Tick, tick.

The hands of the clock, edged with gold by the afterglow of the setting sun, turned slowly and steadily toward the end of the workday.

Anliang stopped painting and, almost instinctively, clicked to save the artwork file before rubbing his aching lower back from sitting for so long.

At the same time, the bluebird nearby let out a cheer.

"Wuhu, it's time to leave work!"

Perhaps because Bronya wasn't in the studio, the petite girl seemed more lively than usual, giving off a carefree vibe like a little sparrow.

Picking up her things that she had already packed, Qingque trotted over to her increasingly familiar colleagues.

"Anliang, do you want to come together?"

"No need, I still need to tidy up what I drew today."

An Liang shook his head and pointed to the computer screen that was still on.
