After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Anliang knew that Bronya was extremely passionate about games.

In the past, when she was still a girl from Spain, she often stayed up all night playing games. Mei had lectured her about this several times, and she and Kiana were also scolded along with her.

Anliang understands Bronya's passion for creating a good game now that she's entered the gaming industry.

But working overtime every day, or even staying overnight at the company, is a bit too much!

"Based on my understanding of Bronya, she wouldn't normally go to this extent. Could it be that Anti-Entropy put a lot of pressure on her? What's wrong with Lao Yang?"

An Liang frowned, suspecting that someone within Anti-Entropy was vying for power and forcing the girl to prove her abilities as soon as possible.

Among the high-ranking members of Anti-Entropy, Cocolia should be the only one who enjoys vying for power and profit.

As Bronya's adoptive mother, Cocolia would definitely be on the girl's side, so how could she possibly put pressure on Bronya?

I don't understand. Could it be that there has been some new change in the reverse entropy of this timeline?

Or is it unrelated to anti-entropy, and simply because Bronya became more competitive as she grew up?!

"No matter the reason, you can't ignore your health. There's no Honkai energy in this world to strengthen your body. Constantly working overtime all night will eventually cause serious problems..."

Anliang subconsciously leaned forward, wanting to touch the girl's cheek, but he suddenly realized something the moment he reached out.

He is now on a completely new timeline.

His past bond with Bronya had been ruthlessly reset, and he was already engaged, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to make such intimate gestures towards other girls.

"Although I've gotten used to it, I still feel a little uncomfortable every time I realize this."

Anliang recalled a concept he had once read in a book.

A person will experience death three times in their lifetime.

The first is brain death, which is your biological death; the second is your funeral, which is your social death; the third is oblivion, when no one in the world can remember you anymore, only then are you truly dead.

According to this theory...

Does each reincarnation, each time he is forgotten by the Valkyries, mean that he has truly died once?

Anliang still can't figure out the answer to this question, but he has dealt with the guy who caused the problem, which can be considered an answer.

"The past is the past. At least I am alive now, and I can create memories that will never be forgotten with the people I love. That is enough."

Anliang smiled with relief and then decided to work overtime.

Although Bronya had forgotten their past, he still remembered that the many beautiful things that had happened in the cycle of reincarnation were also part of Anra's life.

He should take care of Bronya as much as he can. Anyway, it's Friday, and he can go home after the girl wakes up!

PS: In order to portray An Liang's mindset when he encounters the Valkyrie in the new timeline, this chapter takes a little longer and has a few hundred more words. However, since this chapter has more words, the second update will be shorter.

I might not have time to finish writing the second update tonight. If I miss it, then it will be updated tomorrow at noon.

Chapter 45 Bronya's Astounding Wisdom!

In late May, the days in Tianqiong City are long and the nights are short.

The moon's outline gradually appeared in the sky, but the setting sun in the west was still reluctant to completely set, creating a beautiful twilight scene where the sun and moon shone together.

Anliang glanced at the sky outside the window, then lowered his head without hesitation, picked up the graphics tablet he had taken from his workstation, and began to draw and write on Bronya, who was sleeping on the sofa.

He admired the beautiful girl bathed in the twilight even more than the beauty of nature.

Bronya is naturally beautiful, like a plum blossom blooming in the dead of winter, pure and noble.

And under the glow of the setting sun...

Bathed in the warm yellow afterglow, Bronya seemed to have a soft filter applied to her face, which glowed with a radiant light, creating a splendid and sacred romantic atmosphere.

"The golden hour is indeed dazzling and beautiful, no wonder so many love confession scenes in Galgame are set at dusk."

Anliang felt his inspiration flowing.

Taking the current mood surrounding Bronya as a reference, he is confident that he can conceive a stunning CG image that will bring players a visual experience.

However, CG graphics are a large project, and even Anliang couldn't finish them all at once.

"What I need to do now is to make a draft, save the inspiration, and then slowly fill in the details later."

Anliang connected the graphics tablet to the tablet computer, and the pen tip fell silently and quickly, drawing seemingly chaotic lines.

As more and more lines were added, the messy draft became neater, and the outlines of the characters and scenes began to take shape.

"Hmm, this should be about enough..."

Anliang examined the sketch he had made and saved it with satisfaction.

After finishing all this, Anliang put down his paintbrush, stood up, and stretched his slightly sore body.

"It's quite tiring to maintain one posture for a long time while drawing, especially my wrists. I drew a lot of things after get off work, it was really hard work!"

An Liang rubbed his wrists and then his shoulders, before raising an eyebrow and glancing in Bronya's direction as if sensing something.

Perhaps she made some noise during the activity, or perhaps the girl was already quite asleep...

Under An Liang's gaze, Bronya let out a soft moan, her long, fine eyelashes trembling slightly before she slowly opened her beautiful, light gray eyes.

"Well……"

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes with her slender fingers, her expression still somewhat bewildered.

"You're awake? The surgery was a success, you're a lovely girl now!"

Anliang appeared in Bronya's sight and said with a smile.

The girl was taken aback by these words. Her mind, which was not quite clear yet, subconsciously glanced down at herself before she realized what was happening and gave a slightly dissatisfied snort.

"What do you mean by that? Bronya is a lovely girl!"

"Oh right, so dear boss, how was your sleep? Do you need to wash your face first?"

Anliang smiled warmly and pointed to Bronya's hair and cheeks.

The girl's hair was messy, her wavy hairstyle was loose, there were several red marks on her face, and there was some eye discharge in the corner of her eyes.

No matter how beautiful a girl is in real life, she will still be disheveled when she wakes up, and Bronya is no exception.

"This... wait a moment, I'll go to the restroom first."

Bronya realized what was happening, and a blush instantly spread across her fair skin as she hurriedly left the lounge area.

Watching the girl's retreating figure, which seemed to be fleeing in panic, An Liang couldn't help but smile.

Bronya, transformed into a giant duck, is still as adorable as she was when she's shy—I really want to capture that moment on camera!

but……

If he really dared to film his boss's embarrassing situation, Big Duck would probably exploit him severely, making him work overtime every day!

Bronya did look really cute just now. If we could capture that girlish expression and use it in the character art for the game's female protagonist, the effect would probably be quite good.

Anliang thought for a moment and then picked up the graphics tablet again.

……

Toilet.

Bronya, who had been somewhat flustered, instantly calmed down after entering.

The girl scooped up some water with her hands, washed her face briefly, then wiped the water droplets off her skin with a tissue. She nodded to herself in the mirror, now looking elegant and capable again.

“Very good, everything is going according to Bronya’s plan.”

The girl recalled the strategy she had been working on since last night, her light gray eyes sparkling with a light of wisdom.

She had originally planned to use the opportunity of working overtime to spend time alone with the captain.

To everyone's surprise, the young girl Qingque was also willing to stay and work overtime, which greatly hindered Bronya.

But the girl, who was once the Herrscher of Reason, quickly devised a new strategy using her extraordinary wisdom.

She worked overtime all night and then deliberately slept in the studio so that the captain would see her vulnerable side.

Based on the girl's understanding of the captain, he was never stingy in lending a helping hand to people he knew well, and would most likely take care of her.

She slept during the day and didn't ask anyone to stay and work overtime, so Qingque would leave the studio on time, leaving the captain and her alone.

As for the captain seeing her slightly disheveled side when she wakes up, this was within Bronya's expectations, and she even looked forward to it.

When dating, most men and women try their best to present their most perfect side.

This idea isn't necessarily wrong...

However, this does not apply to strategies involving Bronya.

“Sometimes, being too perfect can make people feel distant, not to mention that the captain and I are still in a superior-subordinate relationship, which already creates a barrier.”

"Therefore, revealing some harmless minor flaws at the right time, so that the other party feels that you are similar to me, can help to build rapport and make the captain... lower his guard!"

Bronya gently ran her fingers through a strand of hair at her temple, revealing a smile that was both alluring and aggressive.

Just like hunting animals, the most important thing is to avoid arousing the animal's alertness.

To quickly win over the captain, she first needs to blur the lines between superiors and subordinates, become a trusted friend of the captain, and then lure the captain step by step into a carefully set trap.

"Although doing this would be somewhat contrary to the pure love that the captain firmly believes in, Bronya would not mind transforming into a minotaur as long as she can win the captain back."

The girl looked at herself in the mirror and said, word by word, "And this is the pure love that Bronya has chosen!"

P.S.: I forgot to update after finishing writing at noon, and I only just realized that I didn't upload the chapter. Ahem, but it's not too late, and there will be another update tonight, so you can all look forward to Bronya's attack.

Chapter 46 Bronya's Thousand Layers of Schemes

I tidied myself up in the restroom.

Bronya didn't keep Anliang waiting long and quickly returned to the studio's lounge area.

She saw Anliang sitting on the sofa, holding a graphics tablet and drawing something. She blinked her beautiful eyes curiously, then walked over as lightly and silently as a cat.

Bronya walked around to Anliang's side and leaned down. She saw a black-haired girl with gray eyes on the screen. Her slightly blushing, shy expression gave her a very cute look.

"Are you drawing an emoji covered in tassels?"

Bronya recognized the character Anryo was drawing at a glance; it was the Galgame heroine image she had decided on.

An Liang looked up at the sound, his dark eyes instantly obscured by a large expanse of white.

The girl's figure was already extremely perfect, with her toes completely hidden when she looked down. Now, with her body bent over, her exaggerated pectoral muscles became even more prominent.

Seriously, Big Duck is at least a D cup, right...?

Anliang studied art and had a deep understanding of human proportions. When he saw the outline of the girl's white shirt being stretched high, he judged the approximate size.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the greater the mass of an object, the stronger its attractive force.

After obtaining the data, An Liang wanted to look away, but in the end, he couldn't overcome the laws of physics and couldn't help but glance at Bronya's chest again.

This led him to discover some details.

While Bronya was in the bathroom, a few drops of water seemed to have accidentally splashed onto her chest. The white fabric became translucent after getting wet, vaguely revealing her deep and alluring cleavage.

No, I can't watch anymore.

If it were Alicia, he could look without restraint, but to Bronya like this was crossing the line and was not the behavior of a gentleman.

An Liang's eyes narrowed, and he instantly suppressed his instincts, channeling his pure love and fighting spirit.

It's normal to have food and sex as basic human needs.

Having desires and acting in accordance with those desires are two completely different things.

An Liang leaned back slightly, his gaze no longer obstructed by the girl's breasts, and calmly met her light gray eyes.

"You could call it drawing an emoji. I was inspired by your blushing face, so I drew a shy emoji with a full ear of grain. Maybe we'll use it in the game later."

"I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Turns out I've become the subject of your research."

Bronya moved a little closer without realizing it, her full breasts less than ten centimeters from Anliang.

At such close range, Anliang could faintly smell the fragrance emanating from the girl, but he couldn't tell if it was her natural scent or the smell of milk.
