Bai Ge: We'll Use Instant Noodles to Deal with Kevin! (Continued)

But.

"Duck Duck, what are you doing here?"

Her unease was dispelled by a single sentence.

I knew I hadn't made a mistake!

Bronya wept with joy.

The nickname "Duck Duck" is used by only Bai Ge in the world. Without a doubt, this boy is Bai Ge Dad he has been searching for for a long time!

"Bronya has finally found you, Bai Ge Dad."

She threw herself into the boy's arms like a swallow seeking shelter, her longing of the past year turning into a hug and tears. Her innocent face was filled with intense emotions at that moment.

"... It seems a lot has really happened since I left. I'm so glad to see you again, Duck Duck."

"This time Bronya will never let you go again."

"Yes, there will be no difference from now on."

"Waaaaaah, finally, Bronya, I've finally seen you again, waaaaaah..."

"Cry, cry, cry all you want, my Duck Duck."

Bai Ge gently patted Bronya's back and stroked her head tenderly. Although they had been separated for a whole year, the girl's appearance had not changed.

For a moment, he almost thought he had returned to the time in the Hearth Home, and immediately hugged the girl in his arms even tighter.

"So, what exactly happened?"

Kiana and Mei, standing behind him, were completely dumbfounded.

The person knocking on the door in the middle of the night wasn't a ghost, but Bai Ge's daughter! The two of them suddenly felt that the latter seemed more terrifying in another sense than the former.

Kiana was alright, only her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in surprise, but Mei was completely devastated. The boy she liked had suddenly become a nemesis.

This was a huge shock to a pure young girl who was experiencing her first love. For a moment, she felt like she was almost "excited" to the point of becoming a Herrscher of Reason.

"Bai Ge, when did you have a daughter?"

"Mei, are you alright? Why is your voice trembling?"

"Kiana, be good, don't say anything for now."

"Uh, oh, oh..."

Looking at the purple arcs of electricity flashing on Raiden Mei's body.

Although the Kiana's intelligence is insufficient to comprehend the current situation, Kaslana's keen survival instincts are telling her that the situation is extremely dangerous.

So Kiana quietly took a step back and chose to watch the show.

"It's a long story, but let's go inside. It's not good to stand outside in the middle of the night," Bai Ge said.

"No problem, but Bai Ge, you must explain properly. I am very curious about this Miss Bronya."

"Yeah, yeah, suddenly having a daughter like that, Bai Ge, you're too scary." (Kiana whispers)

The four of them returned to the living room and sat down.

Although it was already the middle of the night, the three women, except for Bai Ge, were wide awake.

Bronya, in particular, was overjoyed at being reunited with him and had clung to Bai Ge in a bear hug, showing no intention of getting down from the moment they met.

"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Duck Duck, Bronya Zaychik, my adopted daughter about two years ago," Bai Ge said with a light cough.

"Adopted."

Upon hearing this, Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Bai Ge is only 18 years old this year, she adopted a little girl who looks no less than 14 years old as her daughter two years ago, which is already quite a lot to complain about.

Bronya, on the other hand, also found it very strange.

A year ago, my father was nearly 30 years old, but now he looks like a boy under 20.

They were only around 17 or 18 years old, roughly the same age as me now.

Bronya then turned her gaze to the two women in front of her.

In order to find Bai Ge, who disappeared due to the X-10 experiment, she temporarily cooperated with Cocolia, and thus knew some of the secrets between Raiden Mei and Kiana.

Ultimately, for Bronya, Mei, who possesses innate Stigmata, is the key figure she needs to find Bai Ge, who is "lost in the Sea of Quantum."

She never expected that her Bai Ge Dad, who had become younger, would turn into Raiden Mei's classmate. She was completely Bronya by this, and therefore...

"Although it's our first meeting, Bronya suggests that we try to use our feelings to impress you. You seem very curious about Bronya and Bai Ge Dad, and Bronya also curious about your situation."

"Yes, then could you please speak first, little Bronya?" Mei said, maintaining her smile.

"...Can."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Bronya nodded in agreement.

Bai Ge didn't stop them from exchanging information about their different timelines; on the contrary, she watched the drama unfold with great interest.

After that Kiana and Mei's expressions became quite interesting, their gazes filled with surprise and astonishment as they looked at him.

They were clearly shocked that Bai Ge had actually run an orphanage and taken in dozens of orphans.

This was so different from what they knew of Bai Ge as their classmate that they really doubted whether Bronya had mistaken him for someone else. But seeing how the two of them were so affectionate, it was clear that they knew each other and had a deep bond.

And the same is true for Bronya.

Bronya was incredibly surprised to hear about Bai Ge's experiences as a high school student, as it was very different from the 'Bai Ge Dad' she knew. However... after hearing the story of how this person saved Raiden Mei, she felt a sense of familiarity.

I thought to myself that this person hadn't changed at all.

After the three women finished their conversation, they all turned their gazes to Bai Ge.

I find this person increasingly mysterious... and handsome.

"Okay, stop looking at me like that. I know you have a lot of questions, but secrets make men more attractive. Compared to what's going on here, what are you planning to do next, Duck Duck?"

Bai Ge shook his head and chose to change the subject. The time was not right yet, so he decided to play the riddle-maker for once... In the end, he still became the kind of person he used to hate.

"Is that even a question? Of course, she'll stay by Bai Ge Dad's side. Now that she's found you, Bronya will certainly no longer cooperate with Cocolia."

Bronya replied without hesitation.

"Hmm, that's for the best... Ah, but please don't call me 'Dad' anymore. I'm about the same age as you now, and it just doesn't sound quite right."

Bai Ge said with a subtle expression,

He imagined what it would be like if, in the future, when he went out with Bronya, this girl suddenly called him "Dad," and the whole street would stare.

He doesn't want anything like that!

"How can that be? No matter what you become, Bai Ge Dad, you will always be... Okay, Bronya understands. Let's do as Daddy... Bai Ge says."

"Yes, good boy, my Duck Duck is the best boy."

Bai Ge nodded in satisfaction.

Although the girl seemed to have changed her mind halfway through, he decided to ignore that part.

The Bronya raised its little hand to cover the corners of its lips that couldn't be turned up. Although it had subconsciously wanted to refuse, it thought again... wasn't this a super good opportunity!

Dear Bai Ge Dad, he is now a high school student!

They were not related by blood.

The biggest problem was originally the age gap of more than ten years between the two parties, but now that problem no longer exists.

In short, a perfect situation!

(All the obstacles are gone now. Just wait, everyone! When Bronya brings Bai Ge Dad —no, Bai Ge— back to Hearth Home, that's when you'll all start calling Bronya" Mom"! Good luck!)

The Bronya clenched its little fists to cheer itself up.

The father-daughter relationship has long since reached its end, and she will now embark on a new journey!

And at that distant end,

It will be a pure white church with the sound of blessing bells!

After clarifying the new goal, Bronya's gaze towards Bai Ge completely changed, Bai felt that he might be having an illusion... In Bronya's eyes, he seemed to see two pink hearts.

Surely this girl isn't trying to take advantage of me?

(Even if we're not related by blood, there's no age gap, and our relationship is so deep that we consider each other family, that... well, it seems like there really isn't a problem?)

Ah, this...

Bai Ge was speechless for a moment, astonished by the potential between himself and Bronya.

Meanwhile, Mei relaxed, and her gaze towards Bronya softened.

(Since she's Bai Ge's adopted daughter, there's no problem at all. What a kind and good child. I wonder if little Bronya would mind having another young adoptive mother.)

What bad intentions could Raiden Mei possibly have?

She just wanted to give Bronya a complete family.

"By the way, Bai Ge's dad... cough cough, this is all the current information Bronya knows about Cocolia. I hope it can be of help to you."

"Yes, that's great, Duck Duck has been a great help."
