Joining MiHoYo, the Savior Me is Targeted by Elysia

Ye Ming ignored the girls' questions, instead exclaiming excitedly:

"There's something wrong with this video, something seriously wrong. I need to talk to the creator myself!"

Ye Ming shut down his computer, grabbed his coat, and left the office as if fleeing for his life.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind everyone:

"Let me make this clear, none of you are allowed to watch this video. The content is ridiculous."

"..."

Ye Ming's words left the girls bewildered, but everyone has curiosity.

Originally, the studio staff hadn't paid much attention to the video content, but Ye Ming's "don't watch" warning only piqued their interest.

"Should we watch it?"

Kiana suggested.

"That... wouldn't be very good, would it?"

Ganyu said timidly:

"If Ye Ming finds out, he'll be angry, right?"

"But the video is right there, and it's so popular. It's hard not to see it, right?"

Bronya had a point. In this era where everyone is glued to their phones, anything that's popular will find a way to appear before you, even if you don't actively seek it out.

"Rather than accidentally stumbling upon it, we might as well enjoy it properly here."

"As for Ye Ming... let's keep it a secret together~~"

After reaching an agreement, the girls opened the video.

[When you see me, you're no longer first]

[Hello to all the friends coming back for a second viewing]

[One million views celebration]

[It's only 900,000 now. Did you time travel to when it had a million views?]

As the opening barrage of comments floated by, the camera focused on a corner of St. Freya Academy.

In the principal's office, a girl so petite that "sitting in the chair, she could be half-hidden by the desk" asked:

"Himeko? What is it?"

"Theresa, what's the deal with this new employee?"

Himeko leaned forward, her hands on the desk, as she couldn't see Theresa properly otherwise.

"His job is to take care of my daily life?"

"Do you have any complaints about that?"

As in the game, Theresa was wearing a standard nun's habit, and white hair fell from under the headdress, making her look very cute.

"You didn't even discuss it with me, and I don't need it."

"Himeko..."

Theresa sighed, saying helplessly:

"We found you unconscious in front of the dormitory last weekend at dawn."

"The fire on the stove was still on at the time, and it almost caused a fire."

"If our people hadn't arrived in time, the whole building would have been in danger."

"..."

Himeko frowned, unable to say a word.

If the Honkai energy erosion only caused pain that kept her up at night, Himeko was already used to it.

But if she suddenly fainted... as Theresa said, that was indeed very dangerous.

"At least let me know what kind of person he is, right? What if we don't get along?"

Himeko looked troubled. She didn't like others interfering with her lifestyle.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be satisfied."

Theresa took a sip of hot tea, seemingly not worried about the issue at all.

"What makes you so confident?"

"He'll be waiting for you in your room tomorrow. You'll find out then."

Theresa revealed a smile like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank, saying meaningfully:

"Give it your best shot! Himeko! Maybe he can help you solve your long-standing worries."

The next day, as dusk fell, Himeko, having just finished teaching her classes, was about to head back to bed when she heard noises of people coming and going in her dorm room.

"Right, Theresa did say that person would meet me in my room today."

Mentioning this reminded Himeko of Theresa's sly grin and that strange instruction.

"Telling me to work harder, and helping me solve my worries... I'd like to see what kind of person this is."

Filled with curiosity and a hint of defiance, Himeko pushed open the door.

But when she saw the gentle and refined young man in the room, she instantly understood Theresa's intention.

"My long-standing worry... is she talking about being single?!"

Thinking this, Himeko's cheeks grew even hotter. At the same time, the camera focused on the young man's face:

Short, black hair, fluffy and soft, delicate eyebrows revealing handsomeness, deep black eyes with a hint of mysterious light.

[Is this the male lead? Who did they get to play him?]
[If he's just a pretty face, I'm not very impressed]
[He's kinda hitting my XP, I want to rail the male lead]
[OMG! A gay!]

--Click!

The startled girls paused the video, having only just watched this far.

"What's going on? Ye Ming?!"

The young man in the room was none other than Ye Ming, who had just warned them not to watch the video.

"So Ye Ming is the male lead in this video?"

"It's not strange that we would appear in a doujin, but why is Ye Ming in it too?"

After all, Ye Ming's image had never appeared in the game from beginning to end.

"There's not enough information yet, let's keep watching."

A-Tzu pressed the play button again...

"Miss Himeko, is it? My name is Ye Ming. Starting today, I'll be moving in to live with you."

Ye Ming pointed to the tidied-up storage room, smiling as he said:

"This will be my room from now on. If you need anything, you can come to me directly."

"Ah? Uh... I see."

Himeko had been sizing up Ye Ming the whole time and hadn't heard a word he said.

Clearly, this somewhat sweet-looking boy was to her liking.

"Theresa told me about your physical condition, if possible..."

"Ye Ming!"

Before Ye Ming could finish speaking, Himeko interrupted him:

"Let's put other things aside for now. If you want to move in, you have to follow my rules."

"Uh... what rules?"

"First, you have to go somewhere with me. I'll see what you're made of there~~"

21. A Once-in-a-Lifetime Indulgence

"I thought you meant something else when you said 'see what you're made of'..."

The scene changed, and Ye Ming, having been dragged to a bar, couldn't help but complain:

"Are you trying to test my alcohol tolerance?"

"If you want to get involved in my life, you can't do without alcohol. How can we build a relationship if we don't get drunk a couple of times?"

Surrounded by a group of students every day, wearing the disguise of a teacher, she couldn't find a drinking buddy and was about to burst.

"Himeko, do you like drinking that much?"

"Life without wine is lonely as snow, especially red wine. Red wine is my blood!"

Perhaps thinking of the wonderful taste of red wine going down her throat, Himeko had a look of intoxication on her face as she declared this.

"If the alcohol content in your blood is too high..."

Before Ye Ming could finish, Himeko blocked his mouth with her jade-like finger.

"Don't tell me... you're trying to persuade me to quit drinking?"

"Not at all. It's not worth giving up a major life pleasure to avoid that little bit of harm."

Ye Ming knew very well that Himeko's remaining lifespan might not even last until the alcohol caused damage to her body.

"Oh~~ you understand me!"

Himeko said with a smile, looking satisfied:

"I thought Theresa was going to find another one of those rigid types to interfere with my life. It's great that it's you this time."

For a moment, Himeko felt like she had met Ye Ming too late.

"But let me make one thing clear first, I can't drink much. I might get drunk quickly."

"Well..."

Hearing Ye Ming's honesty, Himeko didn't feel disappointed at all. On the contrary, she was secretly pleased.

"When the feelings reach that point, getting drunk quickly can actually make things easier."

The pleasant mood made Himeko drink a couple more glasses. After a few rounds, she asked Ye Ming with a slightly tipsy charm:

"So, how did Theresa trick you into coming here?"

"Trick me?"

"Of course, otherwise who would be willing to take on the troublesome job of taking care of me?"

"I volunteered myself."

"Huh?"

Ye Ming's words made Himeko's heart flutter. This young man, who suited her taste so well, actually took the initiative to approach her?

"Can I hear the reason?"

"Well... it's a bit of a sentimental story."

With a hint of intoxication, Ye Ming told her about his thoughts and beliefs.

During this process, Himeko's heart was filled with surprise.

At that moment, she thought, if what he said was all true, every word.
