"Have you ever considered that sometimes, perhaps, deception, lies, and feigned ignorance might be more effective than honesty?"
"So-called deception, so-called lies, even if both people know it's fake, as long as one person is willing to act and the other is willing to pretend not to know, then it's real."
The naive girl, Fu Hua, who once couldn't distinguish lies, had transformed into an immortal who had seen the vicissitudes of the world.
"As long as you keep deceiving, as long as you keep lying, then, as time passes, when two people come together, when two people can no longer be separated, then, even if the lie is exposed and everything is laid bare, the liar, the deceiver, can pretend to be helpless and quibble. Even the most absurd and unreasonable excuse can achieve a happy ending as long as they obtain the forgiveness of the deceived."
"Will the deceived forgive the person who deceived her? I think she definitely will. Because she knows that the liar will treat her well, because she likes the liar, so even with clumsy lies and acting, she will very cooperatively pretend to be ignorant and be deceived. That way, when the day of reckoning comes, even if the liar doesn't quibble or make excuses, she will forgive the liar and be with the liar."
Saying this, Fu Hua took a deep breath, using the darkness as cover to stare deeply at Ye Ming, and whispered, "Yezi, I understand what you mean. So, do you understand what I mean?"
Ye Ming was silent.
"Actually, I came this time because there was something I wanted to tell you, but after hearing what you said, I suddenly don't want to say it anymore. But I've already made a promise, so even if I don't say it, you'll find out tomorrow."
What Ye Ming was talking about was naturally Keqing moving in.
"To be honest, Fu Hua, I'm a little regretful and a little conflicted. It seems that sometimes, making a decision too decisively isn't necessarily a good thing."
Hearing Ye Ming's answer, the corners of Fu Hua's lips lifted slightly.
"Oh? Is it about Keqing? You said on the phone that she's your wife, just because she found you?"
Ye Ming was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "Generally speaking, you only call someone 'wife' after you've slept with them and are preparing to get married. Before that, you call them 'girlfriend.'"
"So, because you've already had relations, you can't escape responsibility, so you treat her as your wife, is that right?"
Of course not.
Ye Ming instinctively wanted to retort, but listening to Fu Hua's tone, he wisely remained silent.
"Yezi is really a good man who keeps his promises and takes responsibility."
"So, some things, as long as they happen, Yezi will take responsibility for them, right?"
"I, ah, I hate people who deceive me and don't keep their promises the most. Even if it's someone I like, I won't forgive them even once, so..."
Saying this, Fu Hua slowly got up from the bed and approached Ye Ming step by step.
"So, Yezi, are you ready to keep your promise and take responsibility?"
Chapter 52: Backache, Always After Overexertion
"Yezi, are you ready to take responsibility?"
In the dim bedroom, Fu Hua said this, approaching Ye Ming step by step.
Closer, closer.
As the distance grew closer, Ye Ming, standing in place, could even feel Fu Hua's hot breath as she spoke. Because of the proximity, with the help of the dim light, Ye Ming gradually saw Fu Hua's appearance clearly.
So she was deceiving me.
Seeing the pajamas on Fu Hua's body, Ye Ming's mind flashed with such an out-of-tune thought.
Ye Ming looked at Fu Hua, and Fu Hua also looked at Ye Ming without avoiding his gaze. In the girl's eyes, firmness hid a hint of shyness, which was completely different from the image of the top student in his memory. At this moment, the girl actually had a different kind of charm that stirred people's hearts.
What will happen next?
Ye Ming was clear about it.
Although the conversation just now seemed to say nothing, in reality, Fu Hua had already expressed her feelings very clearly.
Therefore, Ye Ming knew what Fu Hua's words meant, and also knew what Fu Hua wanted to do now.
Even if he did nothing now and just passively accepted it, with Fu Hua's personality, she would move on her own and do everything that needed to be done, right?
It couldn't be helped if this kind of thing happened. After all, although Fu Hua was a girl, her combat power was so strong that it was impossible to resist. As a healthy man, it couldn't be helped that his body would react.
As long as he thought that way, he could easily push the pressure onto the active party, and he could develop smoothly without doing anything himself.
What a perfect result.
Unfortunately, Ye Ming preferred to be proactive rather than passive.
"I should be the one asking that question."
Ye Ming took a step forward, forcing Fu Hua in front of him, holding Fu Hua's shoulders, and staring deeply into Fu Hua's eyes: "Fu Hua, are you ready to bear all this? You have to understand that once tonight passes, even if you regret it afterwards, I will never let go."
"No one can ever force me to accept something I don't like." Fu Hua responded to Ye Ming's gaze without avoiding it. "If you don't believe me, you can try."
"Try and see."
As long as he made up his mind, Ye Ming would never back down.
The hands holding Fu Hua's shoulders gradually slid down, changing from pressing to hugging. Ye Ming hugged Fu Hua and took steps forward. Fu Hua, who had extremely high combat power, was uncharacteristically like a frail grass, being led back step by step by Ye Ming. Soon, she retreated to the edge of the bed, her legs against the edge, with no way to retreat.
"Fu Hua, become mine."
Ye Ming leaned close to Fu Hua's ear and said in a low voice, pushing Fu Hua slightly with the hands hugging her. Fu Hua was pushed down by Ye Ming without any resistance, lying face up on the bed.
##DONE## Chapter 53: Little Laffey's Question
Leaving Fu Hua's bedroom, Ye Ming didn't return to his own room. Instead, he walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, and without turning on the lights, stared at the night view outside the window and the crescent moon in the night sky that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, lost in thought.
It should have been a natural, sleepless night, but nothing happened.
Strangely, until he left the bedroom just now, Ye Ming's waist still felt faintly sore, but now, it had completely returned to normal. His back was strong, and although his mind was a little tired, his body was still strong and powerful, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
This subtle sense of contradiction felt familiar.
For some reason, Ye Ming thought of yesterday, yesterday morning, when he woke up and saw his clothes hanging on the balcony, he had a similar illusion.
Was this the legendary déjà vu?
It seemed that he had encountered too many accidents these days and was too mentally exhausted.
Thinking this, Ye Ming took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened the Penguin icon in the app.
Even though it was late at night, the silly netizens in the various game, resource, and book fan groups that Ye Ming had joined were still chatting enthusiastically, with waves of text and lewd pictures constantly flooding the screen, never stopping.
Ye Ming silently lurked in the group for a while, collected a few lewd pictures, and was about to ask a few questions when he suddenly received a friend request.
Opening it, it turned out to be an editor from MaoKe.
"I've submitted your book for signing, remember to check the site messages in the backend, complete the signing process in the next two days~"
The Mao Ke editor, with a dumpling avatar, spoke concisely.
Eh? My crappy book can actually be signed?
Ye Ming was very surprised and quickly opened Mao客 to check his book.
After not looking at it for a day, the originally deserted comment section had unexpectedly gained many readers' messages. Some encouraged the author to write well, some offered reasonable suggestions, some suggested adding a new waifu, and there were even some troublemakers who wanted to lock him in a small dark room to become a coding machine.
Silently giving a thumbs down to the comment that wanted to lock him in a small dark room to become a coding machine, and then individually liking the comments that praised and encouraged his book, after doing all this, he glanced at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Ye Ming exited Penguin, turned off his phone, and tiptoed back to his bedroom.
To avoid waking Laffey, Ye Ming didn't turn on the light, and walked to the bed in the dark, put his phone on the bedside table, and then gently lay down on the bed.
Having encountered a lot of things in the past two days, Ye Ming, who was indeed a little mentally exhausted, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Laffey.
The sleepy little girl, for some reason, had kicked off the blanket that was originally covering her properly. Ye Ming casually pulled the blanket up gently, covering Laffey's shoulders, and then, his gaze moved up and he was startled.
Laffey, who was usually very sleepy, should have been sound asleep, but she wasn't asleep at all. On the contrary, she was wide awake, her big eyes shining brightly, staring at him curiously.
The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity and a desire for knowledge.
Ye Ming felt guilty being stared at by the little girl, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "Laffey, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Can't you sleep?"
"Laffey was asleep, but was woken up by Commander and Sister Fu Hua."
Laffey's pure big eyes blinked, "Commander wants Sister Fu Hua to be an Oath Ship, right? I heard Sister Eugen say that as an Oath Ship, you usually have to sleep with the Commander. Even if there are many Ship-Girls, the Oath Ship has to sleep with the Commander on the first night."
"Why didn't Commander sleep with Sister Fu Hua?"
Ye Ming was sweating cold: "Laffey, you heard me talking to Fu Hua next door?"
"Yes, Laffey can hear it. Although I can't hear breathing through the bedroom door, I can hear the sound of talking. Laffey is a very powerful Laffey, Solomon's War God!"
The little girl admitted with a proud face: "Laffey's senses are very sharp, and she's also very good at searching, she can definitely protect the Commander well."
Saying this, Laffey was a little regretful: "Why didn't Commander sleep with Sister Fu Hua? Laffey heard Sister Eugen say that although Laffey and Sister Enterprise are both Commander's Oath Ships, destroyers and submarines as Oath Ships are different from battleships as Oath Ships. Although they can all receive the Commander's ring and sleep together, sleeping and sleeping are also different."
Laffey looked at Ye Ming curiously, her beautiful wine-red eyes full of curiosity and a desire for knowledge: "Commander, Laffey likes sleeping the most, what's the difference between Laffey sleeping with Commander and Sister Fu Hua sleeping with Commander? Which kind of sleeping is more fragrant?"
Laffey threw herself into Ye Ming's arms, her little head gently rubbing against Ye Ming's chest, purring like a cat: "Commander, Commander, tell Laffey, okay? Tell Laffey, who loves Commander the most, okay?"
Ye Ming felt a wave of fear.
Good heavens, it was a good thing nothing happened just now, otherwise, wouldn't Laffey have heard everything? Embarrassment and shame were secondary, the impact on the little girl was the most critical.
