[CN] MLQC’s Lucien - Molding Cuteness Date- English Translation [1/2]

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️

This post contains a detailed spoiler for a date that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~

⚠️This date is from a collaboration, which means it is highly unlikely to be brought to the English server. Therefore, I've placed the translation of this date and event on the highest priority list. Sorry for everyone that has been waiting for merman AU, I'll continue to work on it after this u.u.

Watching his face draw closer and closer, my heartbeat begins to race beyond my control.

He takes my hand, guiding it from his warm cheek, through his soft hair, to the fluffy crown of his head.

The tactile sensations are magnified infinitely under his guidance, just like his innocent eyes that now occupy my whole vision.

"…Am I cute?"

Translation under the cut!

T/N: From now on, I’ll refer to him as Lucien Xu rather than just Lucien, haha. So instead of ‘Professor Lucien’, ‘Teacher Lucien’, ‘Mr. Lucien’, and so on, I’ll start using ‘Professor Xu’, ‘Teacher Xu’, ‘Mr. Xu’, etc. ^^ Don’t worry, I’m not switching completely to ‘Xu Mo’, I just feel that keeping the surname makes it a bit better option to capture how others politely address him (and also MC playfully addressing him with such~).

—[Video-Turn On CC!]—

Every time he speaks in that tender, coquettish tone, I melt from sheer cuteness and adoration for this man ;-; really recommended to watch the video for the full experience with his voice acting complete with unserious nobi rabbit sprite and him wearing nobi pajamas! Don't worry about missing anything on Tumblr because I also put the phone record + moments in the vid and video comment too~

—[Part 1]—

Pitter-patter…

Outside, the drizzling sound of rain weaves the most perfect white noise, turning the rustling of book pages and the clicking of a mouse indoors into something no longer dull and monotonous.

Such a lazy moment is just right for leisurely passing time at home, soaking in the aroma of coffee together with Lucien.

MC: Pfft…

Lucien: Did you see something funny? What’s got you laughing so much?

Hearing my voice, Lucien lifts his head curiously from the other side of the sofa.

I beckon with a smile, tugging his sleeve as I bring him over to my computer.

MC: Take a look at my new desktop pet companion~

On the computer desktop, a little bunny hops around in response to my mouse clicks.

MC: Look, her name is Nobi. Once the system's set up, she chats with me whenever I poke her.

As I speak, I poke her twice. The little bunny blinks, and with a pop, a dialogue box jumps out above her head.

Nobi: "Want to ask the world’s cutest Nobi Rabbit something?"

Nobi: "Feeling wronged? Listen to me, it’s better to trouble others than to wrong yourself!"

MC: Haha, isn’t it funny?

Lucien: Mm, she’s certainly a little bunny even livelier than MC.

Lucien’s gaze falls on the Nobi pin on my collar.

Lucien: Speaking of which, you really have bought a lot of Nobi Rabbit merchandise lately… Do you like her a lot?

MC: Of course I do! But this is only one of the reasons; the more important reason is this!

With a cheerful lilt in my voice, I click open a video.

MC: Behold—"The Bunny Arrives!"

In the video, an excited couple waves at the camera, and perched on their shoulders is none other than... Nobi Rabbit!

With his index finger hooked under his chin, Lucien watches the interaction between Nobi and the couple in the video thoughtfully and slightly raises an eyebrow.

Lucien: [chuckles] ...Is it real?

MC: Hum hum, of course it's real.

MC: Lately, for some unknown reason, the real Nobi Rabbit has been appearing in Loveland City!

MC: Now there’s already a wave of 'Nobi craze'. Everyone’s trying all kinds of ways to get her to appear by their side and play with her.

Lucien: So, all the new merchandise added at home over the past few days, including that 'magical' cuddle claw machine, is meant to make Nobi show up faster?

MC: Sort of. Gotta make an effort to raise the chance of being the lucky one, right...

Before I can finish my sentence, Lucien gently pinches my cheek.

Lucien: I think my little one is already very lucky.

Lucien: And you always share your luck with me so generously.

Lucien: Whether it’s the RV trip, the island holiday… even a strand of blessing bracelets, or a fortune cookie.

Lucien: [in that coquettish, acting spoiled tone™️] You haven’t forgotten all of that, have you? Because then I would be heartbroken.

Lucien’s voice is low and soft, as if coquettishly coaxing me, yet the tail end of his tone carries a firmness that leaves no room for doubt.

Accompanied by his words, memories of those sweet and happy moments from the past surface in my mind.

All those big and small moments of luck that had Lucien in them.

A smile rises on my face without me realizing it, and I lean against his shoulder.

MC: Gee~ When you put it like that, I feel embarrassed.

MC: It makes me seem like someone who’s already so lucky, yet still greedily wants more.

Lucien: But your expression doesn't look 'embarrassed' at all.

MC: Hm? Then what kind of expression do I have?

Just as I lift my face, a soft kiss lands at the corner of my lips.

Lucien: It’s a righteously bold, greedy expression, one that says you want to become the luckiest person in the world.

I burst out laughing and reach out to hook my arm around Lucien’s neck.

MC: Then, is it okay if I want to be a little greedier?

Lucien: [with a tender, indulgent tone, as if ready to grant her every wish] Sure. What do you want?

MC: Of course, it is…

I gently press down on his neck with my wrist, letting his breath blend once again with mine.

MC: Lucien also has to become the luckiest person in the world together with me.

✂———————–

—[Part 2]—

Lucien: All right... how soon can you get here?

Lucien: Please hurry as fast as possible, over here....

Through the slightly ajar door, Lucien’s voice sounds fuzzy and distant, as if mingled with the drip-drop of water.

Is it still raining? I frown, opening my eyes from the lingering daze of sleep, only to see a bright, cloudless sky outside the window.

MC: Then the water sound just now was....

Just as I’m puzzling over it, Lucien happens to push open the door. His eyes pause for a beat.

Lucien: Did I wake you?

MC: No… were you on the phone just now?

Lucien: Yes, there’s a bit of an issue with the drainage pipe on the balcony at home. I just contacted property management.

MC: Huh?!

✂———————–

Drip, drip...

Gazing at the dripping mess strewn across the balcony, I feel as if my mood has also been soaked through by the muddy water.

MC: How could this happen...

MC: Just yesterday I said we have to become the luckiest people, and we already ran into something this unlucky today, sigh.

Hearing my sigh, Lucien gently rubs my head.

Lucien: Look on the bright side, at least it was discovered early. Otherwise, our living room floor would've been ruined too.

MC: That's true. Luckily, it’s not like what happened to me last time…

I trail off mid-sentence and turn to look at Lucien. A knowing smile lifts the corners of his mouth.

Lucien: Yeah. Now we've both experienced ‘The flooded Jinshan’.

[T/N: They were talking about what happened during the 2020 Valentine’s Day date (the one with cherry cg), when MC’s apartment got flooded and she ended up spending the night at Lucien’s place."The Flooded Jinshan" (水漫金山) alludes to a legendary scene from The Legend of the White Snake in which the White Snake floods Jinshan Temple to rescue her husband, Xu Xian. This phrase is often used to refer unfortunate occurrence of flooding]

His gentle, joking tone melts away my gloom. I let out a sigh of relief and simply take his hand.

MC: Then, in the spirit of 'courtesy demands reciprocity', how about coming over to my place as a guest while we wait for the property maintenance, Professor Xu?

A bright gleam flashes in Lucien’s eyes. He gently squeezes my palm, his eyes curving into a smile.

Lucien: Alright, I’ll trouble Miss Producer to take me in.

As I begin excitedly planning how to properly host Lucien, I open my door—

Suddenly, I feel something bump against my calf, and a crisp, chirpy voice chimes out from near my feet.

??: Wow, your place is pretty big!

I glance down. To my surprise, a Nobi rabbit has already bounced ahead of me into my home!

MC: [surprised] ?!

My eyes widen as I stare in disbelief. Hearing my gasp, Nobi comes to a stop and lifts her chin at me.

Nobi: Don’t you chat with me on your computer every day? How come you don't recognize me?

MC: [sweats] Of course I recognize you! Y-you're really Nobi?

Nobi: Hmph! Who else in the whole world could possibly be this adorable besides me?

Nobi: You two shouldn't just stand at the doorway. Come on in.

After finishing her sentence, Nobi plops down onto my couch without a care in the world.

Lucien watches the little bunny rolling around before him, letting a rare flicker of subtle expression surface on his face

Yet before I can confirm it, he has already returned to his usual composed demeanor, giving me a helpless smile.

Lucien: Looks like there’s a new guest besides me today.

With that, he takes my hand and leads me over to Nobi.

Lucien: Hello, Nobi Rabbit.

Lucien: Can you tell me where you came from?

Nobi: Um? I came from the cutest planet in the entire universe.

Lucien: Then, by what means did you arrive here? Was it through spatial teleportation or energy conversion?

Lucien’s gaze is filled with genuine curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Nobi puffs up her cheeks, seemingly a bit overwhelmed.

Nobi: W-why do you humans like to ask strange questions?

She firmly plants her hands on her hips and shakes her ears.

Nobi: Anyway, the reason I appeared here is 'love'!

Nobi: As long as there’s love, anything can be explained. That’s just how this world is!

Because of Nobi’s righteously confident statement, the air goes quiet for a moment, then Lucien and I can’t help but chuckle at her answer.

Lucien: Alright, that question just now really was a bit much for a little bunny.

Lucien: After all, the world truly does become simpler because of love.

Our eyes meet, and in silent unison, tender, indulgent smiles bloom on our faces. I scoot closer to Nobi’s side and give her a light poke.

MC: Oh~ so does that mean it was the power of love between Lucien and me that drew you to appear here?

Nobi: Yes, yes, exactly!

Nobi: Professor Xu, you should learn from your girlfriend. She's much smarter and cuter than you!

Lucien: ….

Nobi and I tease in tandem, making him lift his brow slightly. He then bows down just a bit, as if earnestly seeking guidance.

Lucien: Then, may I ask my two teachers what I can do to become as smart and as cute as my girlfriend?

As if reclaiming her dignity, Nobi adjusts her glasses and nods with satisfaction.

Nobi: That’s the very reason I came to you two~

As she speaks, Nobi suddenly hops onto Lucien’s shoulder, leans in close to his ear, and whispers something softly.

Lucien: [gasps softly] ...Really?

Nobi: Just try it and you'll see.

Lucien nods thoughtfully, then leans down toward me.

Watching his face draw closer and closer, my heartbeat begins to race beyond my control.

Yet Lucien merely extends his hand, guiding mine to his face, then slowly moving it upward.

My fingertips glide from the warmth of his cheek, tangle through the fine strands of his hair, and finally come to rest on the fluffy crown of his head.

The tactile sensations are magnified infinitely under his guidance, just like his innocent eyes that now occupy my whole vision.

Lucien: [soft, coquettish tone] …Am I cute?

I blurt out almost reflexively:

MC: —So cute!!
