My Mobile Game Wife Shows Up at My Door

"Should I set you up with someone?"

The moment this message arrived, before Ye Ming could even start typing, a flurry of messages began to flood his screen.

"Remember that little girl named Fu Hua who lived next door when you were a kid?"

"You had such a stubborn temper back then and were always getting into fights with other kids. Every time you couldn't win, it was Fu Hua who helped you take on several kids at once."

"I remember Fu Hua was the class monitor in your class all through elementary and middle school. You were always second or third, but Fu Hua was always first."

"Now she's finished her master's degree and is back, and she's still single. You two were quite close growing up, do you want Mom to introduce you?"

After reading the barrage of messages, Ye Ming was stunned.

"Fu Hua is back?"

The Fu Hua here was not the Fu Hua from Honkai Gakuen, but the childhood sweetheart Ye Ming grew up with.

When Ye Ming was a child, he had a stubborn temper and was often surrounded and beaten by other kids. He couldn't win against several opponents on his own, but he refused to admit defeat, so it was always Fu Hua who came to his rescue.

Although the young Fu Hua was a very cute little girl, she was incredibly good at fighting. She could take down a kid with a single punch, and one hit was enough to make them cry for a long time—a true One Punch Girl.

Because the young Ye Ming felt it was shameful to be saved by a girl every time, he gradually stopped getting into fights. Later, from elementary school through middle school, Ye Ming and Fu Hua were always classmates. And because Fu Hua was always first in every exam, she was the class monitor every year. The reason Ye Ming could rank in the top three was partly due to the motivation Fu Hua provided.

Later on, the two went to different universities. After Ye Ming graduated and entered society, Fu Hua chose to pursue a master's degree, and their contact slowly dwindled.

Incidentally, when Ye Ming first encountered the anime Attack on Titan in college, he once felt that his relationship with Fu Hua was very similar to Eren and Mikasa when they were young. Later, when Ye Ming played the Honkai Gakuen mobile game and encountered the character Fu Hua, he even specifically sent a message to Fu Hua on WeChat. Fu Hua only replied with an upside-down question mark, which completely extinguished his enthusiasm.

Of course, even now, Ye Ming never suspected that the Fu Hua he knew had anything to do with the Fu Hua in the game. The reason was simple: the Fu Hua in reality was his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, and although she was beautiful, she had standard black hair and black eyes.

"She's back, and she's already found a job in the same city as you. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Ye Ming's phone started vibrating again.

"When she got home, she even specifically came to ask me about your situation. You two were so close when you were little, and Mom likes her too. Why don't you two try dating?"

"She's dyed her hair and started wearing makeup now. She's so pretty."

Dyed hair? Makeup?

Ye Ming was stunned. It was hard to imagine what that straight-A class monitor from his memories would look like with dyed hair.

"Forget it, don't worry about it. We aren't a good match."

After sending the message, this

time, Ye Ming waited for a while before receiving a reply.

"Why?"

"Because she's too flat."

After all, it was his own mother, so there was nothing he couldn't say. Ye Ming typed it out directly and hit send.

Then, he didn't get a reply for a long time.

Just when Ye Ming thought the other side had gone offline, he finally received a message.

"I'm right next to your mom."

After a pause, another new message appeared.

"I've already booked a flight to City H. The flight is at eight in the morning. See you tomorrow."

Thud!

Ye Ming's hand shook, and his phone fell onto the table.

City H was the city where Ye Ming lived.

Chapter 9: Eating Laffey with Chocolate

Ye Ming was mortified.

He never expected that Fu Hua would be with his mother late at night, and he certainly never expected his mother to suggest "Why don't you two try dating?" while Fu Hua was right there.

But to be honest, during his school days, it wasn't as if Ye Ming hadn't had thoughts about his childhood sweetheart becoming his lover, but those were just fleeting thoughts he had after finishing an anime.

The reason was simple: even in anime, the childhood friend rarely beats the "new arrival," let alone in reality.

In reality, it was already rare for childhood sweethearts to keep in touch after growing up; Ye Ming had never even heard of any who ended up together.

The same was true for Ye Ming and Fu Hua.

During their school days, because their homes were close, Ye Ming was often looked after by the capable Fu Hua. After starting school, the two would go to and from school together. If there were problems with his studies, Fu Hua would always patiently guide him. Occasionally, when one of their families was away, they would go to each other's homes for a meal, and sometimes even stay the night.

But that was it.

There was no talk of budding romantic feelings, nor were there any of those fan-service tropes common in anime plots, such as bathroom or bedroom scenes.

In fact, after college, because they were in different places, their contact gradually faded. Aside from meeting up when they returned home for holidays, they rarely even communicated on WeChat.

Therefore, being caught red-handed by the person in question after calling her flat-chested, one could imagine Ye Ming's embarrassment.

He held his phone, typing and deleting explanations over and over, unable to come up with a suitable excuse. The other side seemed to have gone offline again. Ye Ming agonized for a long time, but no new messages came.

However, avoiding the issue was definitely not the best course of action, and playing the ostrich wasn't Ye Ming's style either. After thinking for a moment, Ye Ming simply typed and asked: "What time is the flight tomorrow, and which airport? Should I take time off to pick you up?"

The message was sent, and a reply came back quickly.

"To think you'd call her flat-chested, you really are something."

"I've already headed home, so you don't need to pick me up tomorrow. Fu Hua will head straight to your place after she lands. I've already given her the address. Isn't your place a two-bedroom apartment? I told her to stay with you until she finds a place of her own."

"Consider it a chance for you two to get to know each other."

"Watch your mouth when you talk to her from now on."

"Don't you dare fight back if you get beaten up tomorrow."

"Actually, never mind, it doesn't matter if you fight back; you couldn't beat her anyway."

Mom's messages started flooding the screen one after another.

It ended with a red envelope containing ninety-nine.

"Give it your all! Mom fully supports you in ruining Fu Hua as soon as possible!"

"..."

Ye Ming silently accepted the red envelope without replying.

To be honest, saying Fu Hua was flat was just an excuse Ye Ming used to deflect his mother; in reality, Fu Hua actually had quite a bit to offer...

Well, in truth, while Fu Hua wasn't flat, she couldn't exactly be called well-endowed either.

Furthermore, Ye Ming was an Azure Lane player. Anyone who has played Azure Lane knows that as a hardcore naval warfare game featuring anthropomorphic warships, the biggest trait of its players is that their perception of breasts becomes warped after playing for too long.

Simply put, if a player's reaction to a D-cup before joining the game is usually "Wow, what a massive pair!", after playing Azure Lane for a while, their reaction to a D-cup becomes, "Huh? Is that it?".

When it comes to the queens of the game, there's the aircraft carrier Illustrious, who is afraid to bend over to pick up a handkerchief for fear of losing her balance, and more recently, there's the yandere-type aircraft carrier Taihou (Osprey), who greets the Commander by saying, "Do you want to eat Taihou, take a bath with Taihou, or... do something shameless with Taihou~?". Even more recently, there is the transport ship Kashino, who stepped over her predecessors to become the new generation's Azure Lane champion. Living in such an environment, it's no wonder a Commander's perception of breasts would become distorted.

Of course, this doesn't exclude Commanders who are indifferent to breasts and only like destroyers like Laffey, Ayanami, Tashkent, or Little Javelin.

With these aimless thoughts swirling in his mind, Ye Ming took a deep breath, turned off the computer, extinguished the lights, and lay in bed with his phone, starting to ponder how to handle tomorrow.

The apartment he rented was originally a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, two-bathroom layout. When the landlady renovated it, she specifically combined a small room with a bathroom to install a large bathtub. Ye Ming had fallen in love with that bathtub the moment he saw it. As a single man, he felt it was a bit wasteful to rent a three-bedroom place alone, so after negotiating the price with the landlady, he quickly signed the contract and moved in.

But now, if Fu Hua were to stay over, things would get a bit awkward.

There were only two bedrooms, but now there were three people: Ye Ming, Laffey, and Fu Hua. How should the bedrooms be allocated?

To be honest, although Ye Ming wasn't a lolicon, as Laffey's Commander, if there were only one bedroom, he wouldn't be so pretentious as to insist on sleeping separately from her. After all, the bond between a Commander and a Ship-Girl was what it was, and Ye Ming wouldn't actually do anything to Laffey. However, if an outsider who didn't understand the situation were present, it wouldn't be very appropriate.

Should he arrange for Laffey and Fu Hua to sleep together?

Frankly, Ye Ming felt that would also be problematic.

Creak~

Just as Ye Ming lay in bed, frowning in deep thought, the bedroom door suddenly let out a soft creak. Immediately after, the door was pushed open a crack. With her fluffy white hair disheveled and wearing pajamas, Laffey walked in barefoot, sneaking in stealthily, and stood in the dark before Ye Ming's bed.

Ye Ming, not knowing what was going on, closed his eyes and decided to feign sleep to see what Laffey was up to.

But the next second, he was startled by her bold actions.

"Commander~ Commander~?"

In the dim bedroom, the little girl in her loose pajamas whispered his name. After confirming that Ye Ming was still fast asleep, the little girl tilted her head in thought, then gently stroked Ye Ming's cheek with her small hand. She leaned forward, clumsily and awkwardly moving toward him.

Ye Ming was startled by Laffey and quickly raised his hand to his face, then hummed twice as if he had just woken up and slowly opened his eyes.

"Eh? Laffey, why are you here? What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Ye Ming asked while feigning surprise, reaching out to turn on the light.

Laffey pressed down on his right hand.

"Don't turn on the light, it'll ruin the mood. Commander, look at me, look here at Laffey."

There was a sense of seriousness in the little girl's lazy voice. As she spoke, Laffey released his right hand, puffed out her chest, and lowered her head. Her beautiful wine-red eyes stared unblinkingly at Ye Ming. She placed one hand to her lips, while the other reached into her pajamas for a moment, slowly pulling out a gift box tied with a red ribbon from her chest.

"Commander~, do you want to eat this box of chocolates~, or do you want to eat Laffey~, or..."
