After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Perhaps it was because Xiao Shi, being naturally straightforward, restrained the arrogant Hei Xi that she was able to become familiar with both Xi'er at the same time.

An Liang seemed to be deep in thought, then came to his senses and hurriedly went out.

Good heavens, if we delay any longer, he's going to be late!

……

8:59:59, Principle Studio.

Anliangka barely managed to clock in at the last second before he was late.

"Phew, safe on base!"

An Liang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Qing Que, who had arrived just a minute earlier than him, with admiration.

As a working person whose goal is to slack off and get by, Qingque thought she had tried her best to arrive at work on time, but she never expected that Anliang would be even more on time than she was this time.

"Cool, that was a great finishing move, but aren't you afraid of making a mistake and getting your salary docked?"

Qingque clicked her tongue in amazement and whispered to Anliang for advice.

"Do you think I wanted this..."

An Liang couldn't help but shrug and said with a helpless expression, "I left home late today, and I almost missed it by rushing all the way."

"No wonder, I thought you were going to challenge my title as the last person to start work!"

Qingque blinked her beautiful emerald green eyes, her tone carrying a hint of mischievous amusement.

"You can have this useless throne. My boss is right next to me, so I can't do this all the time."

Anliang sometimes admired Qingque's lifestyle of being able to slack off with a clear conscience. "I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to work now... Huh?"

After waving goodbye to Qingque, Anliang continued walking forward and found that someone was already at his workstation.

A pretty young girl with long, black hair tinged with blue was sitting in her assigned spot chatting with Bronya, wearing a women's blazer and pencil skirt similar to Big Duck's.

"Anliang, you've arrived?"

When Xi'er saw An Liang, she immediately stood up, a hint of apology on her face. "I'm sorry, I saw you hadn't arrived yet, so I borrowed your chair."

"It's alright. I'm honored to have the chance to sit with Seele, my little angel."

An Liang chuckled and joked, then remembered his business and took out a bamboo-woven Houmu and a red and blue double-heart knot from his bag.

"Since you're all here, here's a gift."

"It's Houmu?!"

Bronya's light gray eyes lit up slightly, her aloof expression replaced by surprise. "The material is bamboo, yet it can be made so lifelike. Interesting."

Seele didn't become fanatical like Bronya when she saw Houm.

The girl, blessed by the Sea of ​​Quanta, gently stroked the special two-tone concentric knot with her fingertips, feeling both happy and puzzled.

"Um, is today some kind of holiday in China? Why is Anliang suddenly sending us gifts?"

"There's no holiday today, Seele, you've misunderstood..."

An Liang was slightly taken aback. Looking into the girl's deep blue eyes, he chuckled and explained, "I'm just a deliveryman passing on this. These are gifts from Fu Hua and Xiao Shi to you."

P.S.: Haha, thanks to everyone's votes, I've successfully unleashed my potential and achieved another successful daily update challenge. Unfortunately, the update from the day before yesterday was blocked. Although I had a feeling it would be blocked, the strictness of the checks was still quite unexpected. Just in case, you might want to join a fan group so that if your page gets blocked again and can't get it approved, that would be a real hassle.

Chapter 143 Seele betrayed Big Duck!

"So Fu Hua and Xiao Shi gave it to you?"

Seele murmured softly, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, a hint of regret in her heart.

Although she knew this was the only reasonable course of action, she still held onto a sliver of hope that she would receive a gift from Anliang…

"Yes, as I mentioned before, Fu Hua and Xiao Shi plan to come to Tianqiong City to visit you."

Anliang, unaware of the girl's thoughts, nodded and continued, "They came to my place last night and asked me to inquire when you'd be free to meet up?"

"Bronya hasn't seen the class monitor and Xiao Shi for a long time either. It's a rare opportunity, so it's time for them to get together!"

Bronya played with the bamboo-woven houmu with her delicate hands, then placed the little ornament next to her computer and said with a touch of nostalgia.

Thinking back to those days at St. Freya...

Because Bronya skipped a grade, she was the youngest in her class and received a lot of help from Fu Hua and Raiden Mei. As for the idiot Kiana, although she could be useful sometimes, she mostly caused trouble for Bronya.

However, it is precisely because of Kiana, this lively character, that her student days were able to retain some carefree joy even without a captain!

Bronya raised an eyebrow slightly, a gentle smile passing through her light gray pupils.

Now that she has found the captain, has Seele by her side, and has also reunited with her class monitor and Xiao Shi, this familiar network of relationships makes her feel like she has returned to her past life.

The only drawback is that the captain in this life does not belong to Bronya.

But it doesn't matter. After meeting the class monitor, she can take the opportunity to find out information about Alicia. Once she has thoroughly figured out the enemy's background, that will be the time for Bronya to take down the captain!

Seele didn't think as much as Bronya did.

She had recently talked to An Liang about St. Freya and knew that Fu Hua was An Liang's fiancée's best friend, so she didn't expect Fu Hua to be able to help.

In addition, Seele is rather simple-minded and doesn't want to let their friendship become tainted by scheming, so she simply focuses her attention on the party.

"It's a rare reunion, so we definitely need to choose a good venue. By the way, Bronya, how's the renovation of the villa you bought coming along?"

"The villa is already built; it only needs some interior decoration, and it's almost finished now."

"How about we invite Fu Hua and Xiao Shi to the villa for a party?"

Seele raised her fair index finger, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she suggested, "This way, everyone can have fun freely, and the villa will be more lively... Anliang, what do you think?"

"Oh, you're asking me?"

An Liang paused for a moment, scratching the back of his head, "This is a gathering between Fu Hua and you guys, it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to ask you..."

"How could it be inappropriate? Anliang knows all of us, so of course you're included in the invitation to the gathering!"

With her hands behind her back and her upper body slightly leaning forward, Seele said with a smile, her azure eyes reflecting a hint of cunning.

Bronya, who was still pondering how to extract information from the class monitor, was suddenly startled and looked at her younger sister, her light gray eyes widening slightly.

Wait a minute, what if the captain is also at the party...

Wouldn't it seem strange and arouse the captain's suspicion if she kept asking Fu Hua about the captain's fiancée?

Even if the captain didn't care, after learning about this from Fu Hua, that woman named Alicia might become more alert!

Bronya knew very well that Alicia was an extremely formidable rival.

As a master of micro-management, Bronya dared not reveal even the slightest flaw to Alicia. What if that woman put a chastity belt on the captain? Wouldn't she then have no way to make a move?

"Seele, you've put Bronya in a bit of a bind now..."

Bronya sighed inwardly, took a deep breath, and her towering breasts, tightly wrapped in her blazer, trembled.

She originally wanted to have a private meeting with Fu Hua, but since Seele had already spoken, it was perfectly reasonable for her to invite An Liang to participate. She couldn't very well say that An Liang shouldn't go now, as that would be too hurtful.

Moreover, since Seele has control over household affairs, it's naturally better to leave gatherings to her as well.

Therefore, Bronya couldn't change Seele's decision, even if she wanted to.

"Forget it, let's just have a simple party with Class Monitor Xiaoshi and the others. If we can get a little closer to the Captain during the party, that would be a success..."

Bronya revised her plan in her mind.

Just as there are no fixed formations in warfare and no fixed shapes in water, one must learn to adapt to changing circumstances in the battlefield of love!

Anliang was unaware that Bronya had been forced to change her strategy because of Seele's unintentional betrayal, and he was seriously considering Seele's suggestion.

Inviting friends to your backyard for a wild party is a common way to socialize in other countries.

When he was with Alicia in the Golden Garden, he attended quite a few parties and had a great time... except for the ones Kevin planned.

However, Seele wouldn't be like Kevin, treating everyone to noodles and telling lame jokes at a party, would she?!

Thinking of this, An Liang smiled slightly and gave the girl a thumbs up.

"Holding a party in the villa is a great idea, and Fu Hua and Xiao Shi should have no objections."

"Really? That's good."

Xi'er smiled slightly, seemingly pleased with An Liang's praise.

She simply wanted to create an opportunity to be with the captain, and everyone was more relaxed at the party, so maybe something lucky would happen?

Just as Xi'er was thinking this, An Liang's voice continued to ring out.

"But parties are all about having a lively atmosphere, so the more people the better. Besides me, I feel like we could invite a few more people, like Qingque, and my fiancée..."

"Hey Anliang, are you bringing your family?!"

The smile on Xier's pretty face froze a little, and her tone unconsciously became forced.

“Alice is good friends with Fu Hua and has also met Bronya. I think it would be appropriate to bring her to this party. You two should have a good time together.”

Anliang, oblivious to the girl's odd behavior, chuckled and said...

He remembered that Alicia had said she wanted to get to know Seele, and he also remembered that Seele had said she wanted Black Seele to make more friends.

Isn't this perfect timing? It's the perfect opportunity for Alicia to meet Seele at the party... killing two birds with one stone! He's such a genius!

P.S.: Today's votes didn't reach the bounty, but luckily the author has already finished writing, so I'll just post it directly! However, it's quite difficult for the author to evolve into a daily updater, so I still hope that all readers will vote more to keep the author's enthusiasm alive.

Then, the story finally gets to the point where Seele and Bronya betray each other, and next, she'll have to face off against Alicia head-on. It's a battle of power between multiple exes and the main heroine—just thinking about it is exciting!

Chapter 144 Today is Bronya's defeat!

Just as Anliang was feeling smug about his brilliant idea, the two girls beside him each showed strange expressions.

Bronya is alright.

Her original plans had been disrupted, so she had already put them aside and just wanted to enjoy a pure party. Even if Alicia was added, it wouldn't matter. Maybe that would actually allow Bronya to obtain information about the opponent.

But Seele felt a little uncomfortable.

The girl was hoping to get closer to the captain at the party, or even create some romantic surprises... but if the captain brought his fiancée, her hopes would be hard to fulfill.

So, should we reject the captain's offer?

Seele subconsciously thought of it, her beautiful eyes lowered slightly, the shadow cast by her eyelashes covering the light in her pupils.

No, no!

Refusing to let the captain bring his fiancée to the party is easy, but it's just an excuse and doesn't solve any real problems.

As long as they still want to get the captain back...

Sooner or later, she will have to face a formidable rival named Alicia!

Seele gently bit her lip, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of red light appeared in her beautiful, deep-sea-like eyes.

It was really wrong of her to subconsciously try to avoid the captain's fiancée; it was as if she were afraid of Alicia.

Although she already knew from the captain how much he loved his fiancée, and even knew that the woman named Alicia had completely captured the captain's heart in just six months, faster than she had ever managed to win him over in her previous life...

But so what? !

The captain's fiancée is incredibly powerful, and her romantic skills are probably higher than the two Seeles combined, so do they have to back down?

What?! What?! Are you kidding me?!

Seele clenched her fist, and the two personalities merged their thoughts, giving the same answer.

The captain is like a peerless sword that everyone wants, and Alicia, who holds the sword's thick and long hilt, is sharp and powerful. Even though they are far apart and have never met, she can make Seele feel a sense of pressure.

Even so, she never backed down from his sharp edge!

"That's right, that's the kind of spirit we should have. Didn't Alicia win over the captain by taking the initiative? In our past lives, we won over the captain amidst a group of Valkyries, which was obviously much more difficult!"

Hei Xi spoke arrogantly in the consciousness space, his fighting spirit boiling like hot water.

"Although we have now become the challengers, we have the experience of our past lives and the determination to stay with the captain no matter what."

"Whether it's Alicia or anyone else, we are not afraid of a fight!"
