Chapter 121 He's a Captain, Not Very Dedicated 1...
Kiana felt like she was having a nightmare.
In the dream, the gray-haired girl plotted to bring in Bronya and Raiden Mei, intending to defeat Sora by using issues such as infidelity in their relationship, and then win Mei's heart.
Things were going smoothly at first, but as time went by, the scheme was on the verge of collapse. Undeterred, she kept trying, and in the end, the two got married in a flash, with her invited to be a bridesmaid and Bronya a flower girl...
At this very moment, the master of ceremonies, Walter Young, is reciting the oath on stage.
"Mr. Qiong, are you...?"
"Little gray hair, don't agree, don't agree to Mei's request, no!"
Kiana's azure eyes suddenly snapped open; she had been jolted awake from her dream.
The good news is, it was just a dream, there was no wedding; the bad news is, they really kissed today…
In the battle for Raiden Mei's favor, she was defeated, utterly and completely. But she was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to be a loser!
"Kiana, did you have a nightmare? Or are you sick? You went straight to your room as soon as you got back today, and you wouldn't say what you had for lunch. Did you not eat?"
Theresa wouldn't normally barge into Kiana's room without permission, as she doesn't want to give herself the impression of being a parent who "doesn't respect others' privacy," but today she'll make an exception.
Theresa opened Kiana's room door with the spare key and saw Kiana with her hair all messed up.
"Auntie, I feel so bad!"
Theresa went over and hugged Kiana on the bed.
"Don't be sad, don't be sad, Aunt Flo is here! If you're too sad, just cry it out! Also, what's wrong that's making our Kiana so sad?"
"Mei, she—"
Kiana, who hadn't initially intended to cry, started sobbing after Theresa comforted her, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"She confessed to that gray-haired guy! And he said yes! Mei, I, I... Waaaaaah!"
Theresa: ...
She understood. It was indeed painful to have your crush stolen by your best friend and not even have a chance to express your feelings.
Back then, it took me a long time to accept my grandfather's arrangement and watch Cecilia get together with that bastard Siegfried...
She understood Kiana's feelings, but she was powerless to help! Forcibly intervening was against the rules, and St. Freya Academy wasn't some old-fashioned school; it supported free love!
The only thing she could do was talk to the other person's parents and ask them to focus on their studies. That was all. After all, they were already in a proper boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and it would be somewhat unethical for her to be a third party, steal their partner, or force them to break up.
But seeing Kiana, who had never been so heartbroken and was almost in tears, Theresa decided to do something.
Tomorrow's the weekend, let's contact Bai Ji and talk. Old Bai probably doesn't support Qiong dating, right?
------------
"You mean, Raiden Mei confessed her feelings to you first?"
"Mmmmmmm!"
Walter Young stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
After finally having a frank conversation with Fu Hua, Qiong gave him a "big surprise".
"You actually agreed?"
"Uncle Yang, it's not my fault, it's not my fault! I originally wanted to refuse politely, but I really don't dislike Mei, and besides..."
Qiong became a little embarrassed and awkward.
"We...we kissed."
Old Yang: ……
Walter trembled as he took off his glasses, wiped them clean, and put them back on.
"Qiong, have you considered Xiao Sanyue—or rather, that little star core hunter girl named Liu Ying?"
Judging from Hanabi Sangbo's statement, these people will come knocking on our door soon. At that time... Walter is a little scared, afraid that these people will tear the Earth apart!
Of course, this possibility is infinitesimally close to zero, mainly due to historical development issues.
Qiong fell silent. Of course he had considered it, but at that moment, the scene before him made his brain shut down. The softness against his chest and the contact on his lips made his heart race, and with a few seconds of oxygen deprivation, his body ultimately reacted before his brain.
But he agreed, so he agreed. Putting aside the possibility that if he hadn't agreed, the Raiden Queen would have appeared on the spot, he did call Raiden Mei his wife—in fact, he called all the girls who could board the ship, except for those lolis.
To put it another way, he seems like a captain who falls in love with every woman he meets, not a devoted pioneer. Does he deserve Firefly...?
Comparable to some self-proclaimed agile mountain dogs, who eventually fell in love with Xiaogong Xinhai's silly Fufu, and Shenhe's servant Maweika's executioner.
Wait, did I miss a country? Oh well, it's not important...
"Uncle Yang, what should I do? You're a senior, you must have a solution, right?"
Considering the potential dangers ahead, Qiong finally became frightened and quickly requested backup!
"As for matters of the heart, your Uncle Yang..."
He doesn't have much experience, after all, he's the type who grew up with his adoptive mother and developed a fondness for her. Never mind, no need to explain, explaining would probably steer the conversation off-topic.
In reality, even if you searched all of St. Freya's and Anti-Entropy's higher-ups, you wouldn't find a single person who could help. There are bachelors everywhere here, and people with dating experience are probably not what Qiong needs in terms of gender and background.
Unless, of course, they have to ask Siegfried? But asking him to explain this to a junior? Old Yang felt he'd have to take a divine judgment from Heaven first.
"Find the information online yourself. Your Uncle Yang can't help you with matters of the heart."
"Oh no, how could this happen..."
It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't.
Beep beep beep... Qiong called. He answered casually and turned on speakerphone.
"Hey, Mei?"
"Honey, where are you?"
On the other end of the phone was Raiden Mei, her face flushed, holding the communication script written by Bronya.
Perhaps because she felt that Kiana was the one who provided the assist, not herself, Bronya had been shrouded in gloom over the information she had gathered these past few days. Therefore, she handed it all over to Raiden Mei and encouraged her to use it—otherwise, the sunk costs would be too great!
Once Qiong agrees, they will be a couple who call each other "darling" from now on.
But standing before him was Walter, Walter's presence almost a silent reminder not to respond...
"Mei, please don't call me that, I'm not used to it."
"Then, Lord Qiong?"
"How about we remove the '君' (jun, meaning 'ruler')?"
-------------
"Okay, then don't stay out too late, remember to come back early."
Bronya looked at Raiden Mei, who was smiling at her, and decided to say something.
"Mei-neechan, Bronya thinks that although Sora agreed to be your boyfriend, he neither calls you 'darling' nor 'Sora-kun,' which means he hasn't fully accepted you."
All signs indicate that Sora is currently conflicted. She may have a crush on someone, or she may be afraid of something. For example, she may have had a romantic relationship before she lost her memory and is afraid of hurting Raiden Mei.
But that's not Bronya's concern. Her goal is to make Sora fall head over heels for Raiden Mei! Now that Kiana has been defeated, Raiden Mei is invincible. As long as she announces their relationship in class and reheats the old stuff that was suppressed on the school forum, won't that gray-haired girl be completely obedient?
Even if some unexpected sweetheart were to appear in the future, she shouldn't lay a hand on a married man, right?

“Donigor, this time…”
"No, I'm not going! I'm not going no matter what!"
Faced with five Seven Arts experts trying to order dogs around, Lao Duo went on strike.
"They always send me, and not only do I not achieve anything, they also take their anger out on me all the time! What do they take me for? A dog that they can summon and dismiss at will? Even dogs aren't treated like this, it's too frequent!"
"Hmm, the candy isn't very sweet today."
The lamp turned its head away, embarrassed.
"Master, please take a look at Sister Deng's decorations..."
"Hmm, not bad. As expected of the top-grade one I chose."
Pine Sparrow and Whitey suddenly became interested in the ornaments in the lamp shop, while Serem continued stirring her coffee—she would probably keep stirring if no one paid attention to the dog.
"You lot, answer me!"
"Duoduo, don't be angry."
The spell "Binding" was used by Seraph, who stepped forward and patted Donigor's head.
"This time, you lead the way, and I'll go with you to find Brother Qiong, okay?"
"Little Sera, are you going to find him?"
"Yes, Sister Se, I think I should do something, just like Sister Deng said."
The sparrow clapped its hands.
"Little Sera, keep it up! We'll call out the locations with Master, and we won't let you go empty-handed!"
"Hey, hey, hey, why didn't you give me directions the previous times, making me go home empty-handed every time? You two are going too far!"
