Chapter 172: At worst, I can just call you mom a few more times...
"Good girl, you are really a good girl! In the future, Mommy Seele will definitely treat you well!" Seele, satisfied with the response she wanted, happily hugged Little Ai Yi.
At the same time, she kept rubbing her head against Little Ai Yi's cheek.
Little Ai Yi, like many other carefree children growing up in a peaceful world, had watched many cartoons as a child, which often featured villainous characters.
Could this be one of those cases where someone behaves like a good person on the surface but has an "evil" personality in private? Moreover, Seele didn't even try to conceal the "odd behavior" she exhibited here.
'Could it be? Does Aunt Seele in front of me have the legendary schizophrenia?'
Often, these villains are also powerful and can even deceive the "protagonist"...
Little Ai Yi felt a twinge of panic, though her guess was somewhat correct...there were also some amusing misunderstandings.
Just as Little Ai Yi started to feel a little uncomfortable from being hugged so tightly, she suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle skidding and the loud roar of an engine.
To be honest, the sound wasn't overly loud, but on the quiet street, it made the motorcycle seem particularly attention-grabbing.
This sound, of course, caught both Seele and Little Ai Yi's attention.
Or perhaps it was the unfamiliar sound of the motorcycle that made Seele realize something. She slowly released Little Ai Yi and turned to look toward the source of the sound.
"I'm saved..." As Seele let go, Little Ai Yi took deep breaths of fresh air.
Although Seele's front armor isn't especially large, it isn't too small either.
Its size is slightly above average, enough to bring a bit of...suffocation to Little Ai Yi.
"It seems that I am late." Bronya smiled when she saw Seele standing there unharmed.
However, seeing Bronya, a trace of panic flickered in Seele's heart: 'Why did Sister Bronya come so quickly?'
But Seele quickly adjusted herself, some awkward thoughts lingering. 'Why am I thinking like this? Obviously, Sister Bronya's arrival is a good thing...;
"Wow! That's so cool..." Maybe it's just a kid's nature to quickly change focus.
Seeing Bronya's cool motorcycle, Little Ai Yi couldn't help but express her awe, her deep red eyes shining with admiration.
Additionally, Bronya herself exuded a bit of a cold demeanor. On her black motorcycle, she looked like a woman dressed for a high-class event.
The motorcycle's positioning had her leaning forward slightly...which accentuated her imposing figure.
Although Ai Yi was still very young, she instinctively glanced at Bronya's chest...
She once thought Aunt Mei was unbeatable, but who was this powerful figure in front of her?
The tightly bound "battle suit" seemed on the verge of bursting...
It was so remarkable that even regular women couldn't help but feel envious.
The combination of the cool black motorcycle and the stunning beauty with a dominant figure and a subtly cold personality created a scene that would make anyone's blood surge!
Looking at the dazed little one in front of her, Bronya found her appearance very familiar and asked curiously, "Seele, who is this little girl?"
"Oh!" Seele snapped back to reality upon hearing Bronya's voice.
"Sister Bronya...this little girl here is the Captain's child..."
"What..." Bronya's mouth opened in surprise at the news.
She looked Little Ai up and down, particularly focusing on the white hair she inherited from Kiana and the red gradient representing the Captain's hair color.
"Is it Ai?" Bronya asked tentatively.
Little Ai Yi felt overwhelmed by Bronya's slightly intense gaze.
'Why was there another one? Is Dad really that popular?'
'And why are these aunts each more beautiful than the last, each with their own unique appearance and personality?'
'Dad, who looks so ordinary compared to these exceptional aunts, what kind of charm did you have when you were young?'
'And why didn't you handle this in your younger days? Now it's become a romantic disaster, right? And I, your dearest child, must suffer it with you!'
'So annoying! ...Something feels strange about that.… Dad, you're so frustrating!'
Although Little Ai Yi internally imagined a chibi version of herself throwing a tantrum, she kept a polite and well-mannered appearance on the outside.
After all, this aunt didn't seem easy to mess with...
Bronya continued looking at Little Ai, and her eyes softened.
But the love in her gaze and...the occasional glint of possessiveness towards her father still made Little Ai Yi feel a bit anxious.
"So similar...it's really too similar..." Bronya murmured.
Bronya parked her motorcycle to the side and slowly walked towards Little Ai.
She gently placed her hand on Little Ai Yi's head, softly running her fingers through her hair...
"Ah..." Little Ai Yi let out a barely perceptible sigh of exasperation.
Being patted on the head all the time by so many people—would she end up bald like her chubby friend's dad?
If that happens, it would be way too embarrassing...
But Little Ai Yi knew that she had no choice but to "endure" this. After all, she was in no position to object...
Besides, whether it was Aunt Seele or now Aunt Bronya, Little Ai Yi always felt a sense of warmth, and this affectionate touch made her feel quite cozy.
So, she decided to just let it be. At worst, she could call her "Mom" a few extra times later, and everything would be fine.
Little Ai Yi had truly become open-minded, even feeling a bit reassured in her heart.
