I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Yun Yi gritted her teeth as she recalled this, then suddenly realized something, "Wait, was there any point awarded for the time I was kissed?"

Yun Yi was quickly drawn to his new doubts, temporarily suppressing his anger, and tilted his head to recall while keeping the back of his hand against his face.

I don't recall ever having that? Huh? What's going on? Kissing doesn't earn points?

Curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she immediately used her mind to access the system log and scroll up to find out what had happened.

The translucent azure virtual panel shimmered with light, and as Yun Yi flipped through it, tiny, icy-blue particles, resembling shavings of light, would occasionally fall off.

After several records, some long and some short, disappeared at the bottom of the interface, a record marked "Kiss" caught Yun Yi's eye. Her gaze moved down, heading straight for the entry for calculating points.

[728]

A huge question mark rose in Yun Yi's mind. His face, which had been flushed and hadn't cooled down, turned pale in an instant.

Almost half less than this time?

real or fake?

Her first kiss! Although it was passive and the experience was weak, it was her first time!

Yun Yi looked down at his hand resting on his chest, utterly bewildered and unable to understand.

She was momentarily dazed, then regained her composure. "It's too late now."

If you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it and get back to work.

Yun Yi's gaze, seemingly resolute but actually dull, decisively scattered the logbook, then summoned the shop interface, and without hesitation clicked on the purchase button for the Soul Doll.

The faceless doll appeared out of thin air and landed precisely in Yun Yi's outstretched hand.

The soft, cold, and solid touch shocked Yun Yi so much that his soul almost left his mouth and returned to his chest.

She breathed a long sigh of relief and finally calmed down.

Actually, it's quite normal when you think about it carefully. Although it was my first kiss... first of all, my emotions were still protected by a layer of barriers at the time, so they didn't fluctuate much.

Secondly, at that time, my feelings for Swire weren't very deep. What I saw wasn't "Swire," but "a rich and talented tiger girl." It was like an ordinary person looking at a game character through a screen—I might love her, but it was too superficial to be real.

Secondly, what truly triggered her emotions was the memory of her first kiss, not Swire herself; the system likely didn't factor in this emotional fluctuation.

In the end, she only came to her senses after the kiss, the conversation, and a nap. The real emotional outburst was probably overshadowed by the "sharing a bed" incident, and she probably didn't feel any emotion at all.

So, that's normal, that's right, that's normal.

Finally, Yunyi convinced herself. She took a deep breath to suppress her remaining emotions, her gaze gradually settling on the doll in her hand. "Yes, I specifically sent Little Star Bear away to get down to business. I can't let my mind wander anymore—"

"Chirp?" Should I also avoid them? A sweet chirp suddenly rang out behind Yun Yi.

Yun Yi's shoulders stiffened. Before she could throw the doll in her hand away in fright, she remembered that although 001 had gone to the apartment, 002 had been staying here the whole time.

Clenching the doll in his palm, Yun Yi turned to look at the bench.

The enormous 002 sat obediently on the ground beside the bench, its terminal tucked into its wings. Its pair of bright, obsidian-like eyes stared straight at Yun Yi, reflecting her stiff, thieving figure as she turned around.

002 stood up from the ground, his expression a mixture of curiosity and utmost seriousness.

Perhaps it was the word "serious business" that triggered Manjiu's hidden military instincts. It stood up straight, its fur seemed to be taut, its eyes were wide open, its head was slightly raised, and even the tuft of hair on its head had a sharp curve, looking like it was ready to receive a top-secret mission.

Yun Yi seemed to hear a steady, capable "Chirp!" in his ear, ready at any moment!

In reality, 002 is just like the most obedient soldier—his eyes always follow his superior, Yun Yi, his gaze revealing a desire to take on the mission and be entrusted with important responsibilities, yet he remains silent, calmly and obediently waiting for the final instructions from his superior.

002's completely dependent appearance made Yun Yi feel inexplicably guilty and short of breath.

Does she seem to be ignoring 002 too much, or is she treating the other person as a tool?

The same goes for 001; it seems that once the two chirps stop making a sound, it's easy for it to forget about them.

For example, this time, she completely forgot that there were other creatures on the disc besides herself and Little Star Bear. If 002 hadn't stepped forward to remind her, the ignored creature might have lost its life directly because of the wisp of soul she had leaked.

After all, judging from its characteristics, the protection against Manju only seems to guarantee complete external security, without any internal security safeguards. What if, as she suspected, internal security is not guaranteed...

A belated sense of lingering fear clung to Yun Yi's rapidly beating heart like vines, turning her face deathly pale, and causing her to dart away from 002.

"Chirp? Chirp chirp?" Commander? What's wrong? Are you alright? 002, with her keen observation skills, immediately noticed Yun Yi's ominous expression, and her upright posture immediately became flustered.

It rushed to Yun Yi with a panicked gait, anxiously scanning his body. "Chirp chirp chirp chirp..." His body temperature was normal, his breathing was abnormal, his heartbeat was abnormal, and his pupils were normal...

ps:

The author almost thought he couldn't get into the Hedgehog Cat webpage...

Volume 2: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter 236 002: Shortening My Lifespan! / Hoshiguma (smoking): Calm down! Think about the mission.

002 is like a health scanner imbued with emotion, its tone anxious and its localized judgments accurate, but even when it's on the verge of tears, it can't overcome ironclad logic to determine the final outcome.

Therefore, it failed to realize that its owner was not physically unwell, but rather experiencing a severe emotional upheaval.

Yun Yi raised his hand to press down on 002's wings, which were flapping wildly, and snuggled against its warm chest, gently comforting it, "002, I'm fine..."

She took a breath, and the warmth emanating from her breath not only calmed 002 down to listen quietly, but also completely pulled Yun Yi, whose face was covered in her own heat, out of his guilt and fear.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the downy fur that had stood up slightly due to her intense emotions. Her pale fingers gradually sank into the soft, yellowish-brown thicket.

Yun Yi buried his face in 002's thick fur, closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, I neglected you and almost caused you to lose your life. I'm fine, just a little scared. I'm sorry, I won't ignore you again in the future."

002 stood stiffly as Yun Yi stroked and rubbed her, her wide-open eyes filled with shock, "Chirp?" Huh?

Did the commander apologize to it? Or was it because he ignored it?

This is even more anti-heavenly than the Reversal of Heavenly Principles!

In the world of Manjuu, it's perfectly normal for them to be ignored, because according to the setting, their role is just to be background!

It's the kind of all-around background that helps ship girls and commanders fully enjoy campus life, romance, play, competition, and so on, plus a mascot that ship girls and commanders can gently ravage anytime, anywhere.

These 002s, whose settings were etched into the factory, could not understand Yun Yi's behavior, but they did not want the commander's mood to continue to be low.

It tried hard to think and understand Yun Yi, its brain going blank and smoking, but it still couldn't come up with an answer.

After burning out, 002 tilted its head back and spat out a white, floating soul of a cartoon chick. Its yellow body turned gray and shriveled, and several cartoon diagonal lines representing disappointment appeared on its side.

A gust of wind blew by, and seeing that the black and white 002 was about to be blown over like a piece of paper, Yun Yi was terrified and quickly and carefully hugged it.

To prevent 002 from getting hurt, she immediately adjusted her posture and sat down, placing the inexplicably brittle 002 on her lap to protect it.

The light and airy 002 lay in Yun Yi's arms. She gently and slowly moved 002, not daring to use any force, for fear that it would shatter on the spot in front of her.

Only after pressing 002's head against his stomach, thus protecting at least its head, did Yun Yi breathe a sigh of relief. "Ha—you scared me to death, 002! You're in such a dangerous state. Do you need my help?"

As soon as it finished speaking, the grayish-white color on 002, which did not want to cause trouble for the commander, gradually faded away on its own. It opened its beak and weakly and nervously let out a series of "chirps".

002 attempted to seriously clarify her role as a background character to Yun Yi, telling him that apologizing to her for this kind of thing was the same as an elder bowing to a younger generation or a hero thanking a descendant who is enjoying a good life. It was acceptable, but it would really shorten her lifespan!

Yun Yi listened with a blank expression, and the scene actually seemed somewhat harmonious.

On the other side, Hoshiguma was completely buried in the blankets, her whole body steaming like a cooked duck, her long, thick green hair spreading over her body, almost completely enveloping her.

The Hannya, gleaming with metallic luster, was placed beside her. Hoshiguma rested her head on her arm, turning her head away to avoid looking at the other arm that she had stretched far out.

On that forearm, a closer look reveals a glistening sheen hanging beside the muscle contours. As a gentle breeze blows, the sheen carries away Hoshiguma's body heat bit by bit, gradually merging into the wind.

Feeling the slight coolness on her arm, Hoshiguma's ears, which she clearly knew were causing, trembled slightly and instantly turned bright red.

Hoshiguma's head was dazed as she leaned against her arm, the intense and continuous surge of emotions making her feel suffocated as if she were lacking oxygen.

Ultimately, a non-aggressive, light bite... isn't that a bit too intimate?

Even between husband and wife, it's not necessarily... no, maybe it is—wait a minute! She and Yun Yi aren't husband and wife!

Hoshiguma bent her elbows and buried her messy head in them, and through the gaps, her golden eyes, barely visible, welled up with tears as if she had been bullied.

The strange eyes that could have given people the creeps now resembled jelly – the eyes were soaked with juice, forming a texture that might bouncy softly if touched.

Her heart pounded so hard it hurt her chest, and even with her bouncy eyes closed, Hoshiguma couldn't calm down at all.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She pressed her hand to her chest, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her mouth, as if it were being held down from afar.

In a daze, her rapid heartbeat seemed to suddenly slow down, booming heavily and slowly in Hoshiguma's ears like a drum, leaving her already malfunctioning brain blank.

Hoshiguma bit her lip; the slight stinging pain brought her back to her senses, making her vividly recall her innocent yet out-of-control reactions just moments before.

Hoshiguma let out a soft "woof," withdrew her outstretched, now completely dry arm, and stretched out her other hand to firmly grasp the Hannya that brought her a sense of security at this moment.

She then fled for her life, muttering to herself to distract herself, "...The mission, Yunyi, little Yunyi will take me to the beam above the auction house in a bit. After that, how can I attract the gang's attention as much as possible and ensure that Fydia can't escape?"

As she spoke, Hoshiguma's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down. She slowly opened her eyes, the watery glint still lingering in her golden eyes, but a rational gleam shone through. "Capture Fydia to coerce the others? No, that's not very feasible. The leaders of the allied gangs change frequently."

If that were to happen, the first reaction of the gang leaders would probably not be to save people, but to seize power quickly.

There are many ways to seize power. Perhaps someone will choose to take advantage of the chaos to rummage through other people's secrets and information, or decisively launch a surprise attack on their competitors.

This would not only fail to attract attention, but could also create unnecessary troubles for Yunyi on his way to gather clues.

“United gangs… lots of internal strife, low loyalty, chaos, hmm? Hmm, perhaps we can create chaos from a superior position and force them to unite by creating an external enemy—” Hoshiguma’s expression seemed to have completely calmed down. She propped herself up and sat up as she analyzed.

The ultra-soft mattress that Yunyi prepared for her undulated like a cloud, and the blanket beneath her sank into her palm, giving her an excessively soft and silky feel.

Hoshiguma, who is more accustomed to hard objects, sat cross-legged uncomfortably and moved Hannya in front of her.

She gently pressed her forehead against Prajna's cold, hard inner side to cool her burning face. "In this way, as long as I keep telling everyone where Phidiah is during the process, there's a high probability that both tasks can be completed."

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 237 Yun Yi: I'm such a jerk...

As Hoshiguma murmured to herself, Yunyi and 002 ended their endless debate about worldviews, a debate that could never fully convince the other.

Finally, the man and the chicken each took a step back. Yunyi agreed to respect the "customs" of the Manjiu from now on, and 002 promised to put his life above the "customs" so as not to worry the commander.

After reaching a compromise, Yunyi, feeling exhausted and with all her brain cells depleted, sent 002, who had said goodbye to her, to 001's side. She then moved the staff apartment further away to avoid any accidental injury later.

After doing all that, Yun Yi dragged himself a few steps to the bench and lay down dejectedly.

When it comes to the underlying rules, 002 transforms into a machine gun, the kind with bullets that are locked in place, hitting their target every time, extremely sharp.

Fortunately, as the commander, 002 won't really go all out, nor will it completely stick to the rules. There's room for compromise... It's just too stubborn, insisting that she compromise as well. Is she really the supreme commander in its eyes?

While inwardly criticizing 002, Yun Yi gently placed the doll in his hand on his forehead.

The gale and colorful light once again intertwined around Yun Yi, ruffling her loose white hair. The scattered, fine strands of hair appeared slightly transparent in the light, blending into the seven-colored glory.

At this moment, Yun Yi's flowing hair, dancing in the wind, resembled strands of crystal-clear glass, making her appear like a celestial being descending from the clouds, beautiful and sacred.

A strong, unprovoked wind swept by, and the entire disc was gradually enveloped in a deep, golden-red halo, which greedily extended outwards and outwards.

Until one moment, the doll flashed a faint light and transformed into someone exactly like Yun Yi. Only then did the unrestrained and dazzling halo reluctantly stop its pioneering work, disappearing completely in an instant.

Sensing that the binding was successful, Yun Yi let out a relaxed breath and slowly opened his eyes.

A barely perceptible halo of light lingered in the depths of her golden-red eyes before disappearing when Yun Yi fully opened them.

The doll pressed against her forehead filled Yun Yi's field of vision. With beady eyes of the same color, an exquisite necklace, and clothing, the doll was exactly the same as her in every detail, except for the blank pendant that hung down to the doll's belly.

She has a 100% resemblance to anyone who has ever seen her before, who would immediately recognize her and think, "Ah, this is Yun Yi, right?"

Even if the doll looks exceptionally young or chibi-style.

Yunyi pinched the replica of himself; it was soft and smooth, really pretty, but unfortunately a bit short.

She reluctantly placed the doll on her stomach, then sat up from the bench. "OK, binding complete, next..."

It's time to send Hoshiguma back.

Thinking of Hoshiguma, Yun Yi's face flushed red, and his heart raced uncontrollably.

The enormous 1,500 points recorded in the system log said it all; it was undeniable that she harbored a deep, primal attraction to Hoshiguma.

Perhaps it's because of Hoshiguma's dashing and powerful aura, her top-notch looks, or perhaps it's because of her upright yet flexible, loyal and righteous character, and the powerful strength and will beneath her calm and composed demeanor...

In short, Yun Yi had already been captivated by this person in the short time they spent together.

Rather, who wouldn't be confused in front of someone who is easygoing, easygoing, and open, who is willing to put in the effort to care for, acknowledge, value, and look after you even after just meeting you, and whose values ​​align perfectly with yours? Especially when that person is also quite good-looking and fits your aesthetic preferences.

I can't stand it any longer!

If she weren't still concerned about her image, Yun Yi would almost have stammered. But the burden of her excellent appearance prevented her from doing anything that would damage her magnificent face, even when she was alone.

Unable to vent his surging emotions, Yun Yi's mind was filled with the image of Hoshiguma, her body red and steaming after being bitten.

The innocent reaction that echoed in his mind, so contrary to his mature demeanor, caused a surge of lewd thoughts to uncontrollably into his brain, adding fuel to the fire. Yun Yi felt like he was turning into a yellow and pink kettle.

Yun Yi had no choice but to hold the doll in his stomach and hold his breath until he felt dizzy and his brain started to calm down.

The physical brain-stimulating method has proven to be effective and efficient.
