Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Because this answer was too perfect, so perfect that there was no obvious flaw at all. As a husband, Xue Cheng had every reason to be hostile and jealous of the bald eagle, and it was not too unusual to catch it in his hands to check its gender.

"Let it go this time, and don't do it again." After a moment of silence, Lexington spoke first.

"What did you say? Just let it go like that?!" Bell McCann, the "victim," expressed strong dissatisfaction with Lexington's ruling. He jumped up and down and shouted, "Do you know what this bastard did? He... Ugh!"

Essex pinched the bald eagle's beak, blocking the eagle's remaining words. His face flushed, he said, "Okay, Bell, stop talking. Let's just forget it."

Essex was obviously satisfied with Xue Cheng's answer. Although the admiral had done something bad, it was only because he cared too much about her. When she thought of this, Essex's cheeks couldn't help but get hot, and she couldn't hide her joy.

The bald eagle still wanted to continue to fight, but without the support of Essex, and with Lexington and Chongqing eyeing him covetously, as a pet, he obviously could not go on, so he had to swallow the bitter water back into his stomach.

Looking at the time, it was already lunch time, so everyone went to the cafeteria together.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Although ship girls are not human beings, eating is still necessary for them. Therefore, the garrison invested a lot of manpower and material resources when building the cafeteria. After several expansions, the cafeteria now covers a very large area and is decorated very luxuriously. When Xue Cheng came to the huge building, he thought that the three-story building with the cafeteria sign was a high-end restaurant.

Since they arrived late, some people had already walked out of the cafeteria. When they saw Xue Cheng, they all greeted him. However, Xue Cheng could not recognize these girls in plain clothes at first glance, so he just responded vaguely and perfunctorily, then followed Lexington and Chongqing into the room.

Entering the cafeteria, the first thing that caught his eye was rows of tables and chairs. Xue Cheng looked around and found that the layout of the cafeteria was quite similar to that of a buffet restaurant. Food and drinks were placed in a dedicated area, while the dining area was in another place, with clear barriers between them.

Xue Cheng followed Lexington, picked up a plate and walked towards where the food was placed. He originally thought that the cafeteria of the garrison would be like a university cafeteria, but this seemed to be a good idea. There was no need for special staff to be responsible for serving food, and he could choose whatever he wanted to eat.

Just as Xue Cheng was looking around, searching for his favorite food, Lexington, who was walking in front of him, suddenly muttered, "Chinese food, is it Yixian's turn to cook today..."

"Yixian?" Xue Cheng was stunned. Only then did he realize that those containers with heat preservation effect were filled with Chinese dishes. He immediately became excited. According to the setting, Yixian has very high cooking skills. It is not an exaggeration to call him the supreme chef in the garrison. He quickly picked out some of his favorite food and then found a corner to sit down.

At this time, Yixian was sitting in a seat on the second floor, frowning slightly and drinking the soup in the bowl absentmindedly.

The admiral seldom came home, and he didn't leave until morning. Yixian should have been happy, but the admiral's behavior last night, which seemed as if he was about to part with his loved ones, made her feel very uneasy. Moreover, the admiral was drunk for the first time. You know, the admiral usually never drinks.

If Chongqing had not volunteered to go to the admiral's room to check in the morning and replied that there was nothing unusual, Yixian would have run over there unable to suppress his anxiety.

Could it be that the Admiral has contracted an incurable disease? This thought made Yixian's heart tighten, and she could hardly breathe. Yixian took a few deep breaths, which slightly relieved the discomfort lingering in her chest. She drove away the ominous thoughts in her mind, lowered her head and looked at the remaining food on the plate. Suddenly, she felt that she had lost her appetite.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken so much. Yixian felt a little regretful, but if she was asked to throw away the food on the plate, she would be reluctant to do so.

Every day, leftover food would be thrown away in the garrison. For this reason, Yixian had to carefully calculate the daily food consumption and reduce the types and supply of dishes as appropriate to avoid waste.

Such behavior caused a boycott led by some American ship girls, but Yixian ignored their protests. Despite the huge pressure, he silently corrected the waste in the garrison.

It is difficult for a person like Yixian to convince herself to waste food. If even she starts to take the lead in throwing away food, how can she blame those who waste food in the future?

14. Foodie Chicheng, Chef Yixian

Just as Yixian was hesitating and trying to force himself to eat the food, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from beside him: "Yixian, aren't you going to eat anymore?"

Yixian tilted her head. In the aisle beside her, a girl in a kimono was standing there with a pile of plates. She had long, smooth black hair and her bangs were cut level with her eyebrows. Yixian remembered that this hairstyle seemed to be called a Ji hairstyle?

"It's Chicheng." Yixian nodded, looked at the food on the plate and sighed: "It's okay, I'll rest for a while before eating. Don't worry, it won't be wasted."

"Who said that?" Akagi curled his lips. Seeing that Yixian was the only one sitting there, Akagi simply put down his plate and sat opposite Yixian: "Whether it's a waste or not, except for you C-series ship girls, it seems that no one really cares. It's just a small amount of money anyway. If you really care, why not turn the cafeteria into a restaurant."

Yixian shook his head and insisted, "Even if the garrison isn't short of money, they can't just waste it and throw away food like this."

"Never mind, whatever you say." Chicheng shrugged. She didn't think a few words from her could change Yixian's mind. Besides, for her, wasting food was never a problem, and she had no mood to meddle in other people's affairs. Seeing that Yixian was still hesitant about the food on the plate, Chicheng simply said, "Since you can't eat it, why not give it to me?"

"But..." Yixian hesitated, but Chicheng directly brought Yixian's plate in front of him, then picked up a meatball with chopsticks and put it into his mouth without any disgust, and started eating with puffed cheeks: "Wow... It's delicious, the food made by Yixian is so delicious."

Yixian said with a straight face: "Sorry, Ninghai made the meatballs today."

"What?" Chi Cheng's eyes widened. "Ning Hai's cooking is already so delicious. If it were Yi Xian's, wouldn't it make you want to swallow your tongue?"

No one doesn't like compliments, and Yixian is no exception. Even though she doesn't have too much vanity, she couldn't help but smile slightly when facing Chicheng's praise.

For these girls who inherited the names of historical battleships, although they have no memories of their time as battleships, these experiences will more or less affect them. Therefore, the Chinese ship girls, led by Yixian, have almost no good feelings towards the Japanese ship girls. Although they do not treat them like enemies, the two sides have never had any contact with each other.

However, with the transformation of Yukikaze into the Danyang, the relationship between the two sides has eased a lot. In addition, as ship girls from the same naval base, they see each other every day, and sometimes they are even assigned to the same fleet by the admiral to fight side by side. Over time, the relationship between the two sides has become quite subtle.

Moreover, although Akagi is a foodie, she is different from Quincy who can put anything in her mouth. Akagi, who is keen on satisfying her appetite, is more like a gourmet. The fishery ship girls have the best cooking skills in the naval base, so out of a foodie's instinct, she is willing to put down her airs and get in touch with those Chinese ship girls who are not interested in her at all.

So Akagi successfully established a good relationship with the Chinese ship girls with her super thick skin and fairly good cooking skills.

Looking at Akagi's elegant but not slow eating posture, Yixian smiled slightly. She supported her chin with one hand, turned her head and stared at the clock hanging on the wall not far away, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

"If you care about him, why don't you go find him?" Akagi's voice suddenly sounded. Yixian looked over. Akagi still lowered her head and kept putting food into her mouth. However, even though her cheeks were bulging from the food in her mouth, Akagi's voice was still clear. I don't know how she developed this skill.

Yixian smiled faintly: "Aren't you still the same?"

"How can I be the same?" Chicheng swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at the diamond ring on Yixian's hand with a resentful look, then looked at his own empty fingers, and said helplessly: "I'm not a wedding ship like you guys."

"Wedding ship..." Yixian raised his hand, the diamond ring between his fingers was shining, and his mind couldn't help but think of the past.

When Yixian first joined the naval base, she was very weak. Not only was her speed slow, but her abilities in artillery, torpedo attack, air defense, and anti-submarine were not considered outstanding among ship girls. Although according to the official navy archives, she was barely considered a rare ship girl, her strength as a ship girl was not even as good as some ordinary ship girls.

However, when God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you. Although Yixian was not good at fighting, he was a good cook and proficient in opera. In addition, he was gentle, considerate and understanding, so he won the attention of the admiral. Not only was he carefully trained by the admiral, he also received the ring of oath from the admiral, becoming the only wedding ship among the fishery administration ships at that time.

You know, even many powerful battleship girls failed to become the admiral's wedding ship, but Yixian got that precious ring. Every time he thought of the jealous eyes of others, Yixian felt sweet in his heart.

After the marriage, due to Yixian's extraordinary cooking skills, the admiral appointed her to manage the canteen of the garrison. Although she no longer went on expeditions frequently, her life was still quite easy and comfortable. The only drawback was that the admiral had other wedding ships, so he could not accompany her often.

Later, the naval base gradually became stronger, the resources in the warehouse piled up like mountains, and powerful equipment that was once out of reach became standard. But with this change, the once diligent admiral became lazy. He was no longer keen on completing the tasks assigned by the Governor's Office, and his attitude towards the ship girls became much colder. Even if the Governor's Office used various rewards to lure him, the admiral remained unmoved.

"Thinking about it now, I really miss those days..." Yixian subconsciously rubbed the diamond ring on his finger. Looking at Akagi's jealous expression, he chuckled and said, "If you want to be a wedding ship, why not ask the admiral for one? Akagi is so beautiful, the admiral must like you very much. I remember the admiral once said he would give you a ring."

"It's a pity that he forgot about it after he said it." Chicheng shrugged. She stretched out her finger and tapped her chin. There was no expression of loss on her face. She looked at Yixian with a smile and said, "But what's so good about a stinky man? My heart has been captured by Yixian a long time ago. Don't you realize it? She is such a sinful woman."

"Nonsense, your heart isn't with me." Yixian curled her lips and teased, "You just like delicious food, just like the stray cat Ninghai fed before. As long as you give it food, it will follow anyone."

"Oh, it's really sad when you say that." Chicheng covered his chest with a heartbroken expression: "I clearly feel bad for Yixian..."

"Okay, please save those cheesy words for next time when you pester me and want something delicious." Yixian stood up. What happened last night made Yixian feel a little uneasy. Thinking about what Chicheng had just said, she felt that she couldn't just continue to be passive like this.

"I've finished eating, but I still have some work to do in the kitchen, so I won't accompany you."

Yixian stood up, put away his own tableware, said hello to Chicheng, and prepared to go downstairs, leaving Chicheng sitting in his seat. He watched Yixian's departing back and muttered, "So Yixian can lie too? That expression doesn't look like he's going to work at all..."

Before Yixian reached the stairs, she saw Chongqing running up in a hurry. While running, she was looking left and right, as if looking for something. When she found Yixian standing not far away, Chongqing immediately ran over.

"Sister Yixian!" Chongqing's voice rang out before she even arrived. For a moment, the shipgirls dining around her looked at her strangely. Chongqing also realized her own loss of composure and quickly walked over to Yixian, lowering her voice and saying, "So you're here! Come with me!"

15. Yat-sen is about to strike

"Chongqing? What's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?" Yixian frowned. She had traditional ideas and believed that girls should be dignified and steady and not like to be startled. If it were someone else, she would certainly not do that and she had no right to care. However, for this girl in front of her who had been sticking to her and calling her sister all day long after the transformation, Yixian, who had no sister ship of the same class, still took on the role of "sister" and taught Chongqing a lesson.

Yixian's tone was calm and she didn't react excessively, but Chongqing couldn't help but shudder after hearing it. As the leader of the Fisheries Administration ship girl, Yixian usually played the role of everyone's elder sister. However, if her "sisters" did something wrong, she would suddenly transform from a considerate big sister to an elder sister who was like a mother to her.

At this time, let alone the little girls like Ninghai and Pinghai, even the adult Chongqing would succumb to Yixian's majesty and dare not say much.

Seeing Chongqing shudder in fear at her words, Yixian's expression softened considerably. She pulled Chongqing aside, making way for him, and then asked, "What happened?"

"Sister Yixian, the admiral is coming to the cafeteria, don't you... want to go and take a look?" Chongqing said as he carefully looked at Yixian's expression.

"Admiral?" Yixian was stunned. He had never remembered the Admiral eating in the cafeteria. Why was he suddenly interested today? This was a bit unusual, wasn't it?

Could it be that something really happened to the Admiral? Yixian felt a sudden panic in her heart. She quickly grabbed Chongqing's hand and said hurriedly, "Where is the Admiral now? Take me there!"

At this time, Xue Cheng was sitting in a window seat with Lexington, Essex, and CV-16. There was a rich food in front of everyone, and even the bald eagle Bell McCann had a piece of fresh fish in front of him. He was not surprised by this. Many ship girls in the game have their own pets, so the cafeteria also has food specially prepared for pets. Xue Cheng even saw a little girl with white hair but very mature clothes, running outside the cafeteria with fresh fish to feed GALO.

Xue Cheng tasted the food on the plate and sighed with satisfaction: "You are so lucky to be able to eat such delicious food every day."

Xue Cheng's words were not exaggerated. Although the taste of this self-service big pot dish was a little worse for convenience, the taste was still the most delicious that Xue Cheng had never tasted before. The big pot dish was so delicious that Xue Cheng could not imagine how good Yixian's cooking skills were.

Maybe Yixian’s cooking skills are not worse than the glowing dishes in the animation?

"Why are you being so distant? The Admiral can eat this every day." Lexington put a piece of beef into his mouth and chewed it gently. He looked at Xue Cheng with a resentful look and said, "It's you who always runs away and refuses to stay in the garrison."

Xue Cheng laughed dryly. He didn't know how to answer this question. After all, he had only been playing games on his mobile phone screen before, and he really didn't know how to get into the screen and enjoy the food with the ship girls.

Fortunately, Lexington was just making a habitual sarcastic remark and was not targeting anyone deliberately. Seeing that Xue Cheng remained silent, she stopped asking questions and instead picked up a large piece of beef from the plate in front of her and put it into Xue Cheng's bowl.

Lexington's action seemed to turn on a switch. Essex and CV-16, who had been sitting opposite the two of them and had not spoken, also put the food they thought was delicious but which Xue Cheng did not have into his bowl. After a while, the bowls in front of Xue Cheng had piled up into a high mountain.

When Yixian arrived, what she saw was Xue Cheng enjoying the best of both worlds. She looked at the scene expressionlessly, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. She suddenly felt that she was a fool for always worrying about the admiral. Look at his expression that made her look so beautiful that she didn't even know his own last name. He didn't look like anything had happened at all.

"Sister Yixian, go ahead." Chongqing saw Yixian suddenly stop and refused to move forward, so he couldn't help but urge her: "How can you let those American ship girls monopolize the admiral? It's because you have always refused to compete with those guys that the American ship girls have been the only ones who dominate. Now the admiral seems to have encountered something. You must seize the opportunity and can't be passive like before!"

Yixian glanced at Chongqing, feeling a little hesitant, but at this moment Essex, who was facing him, suddenly looked over. Lexington seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Essex, and followed her line of sight, and his eyes met Yixian's.

"It seems that it can't be avoided." Yixian sighed. She was not afraid of Lexington, but she didn't want to have a meaningless conflict with her and cause disputes between the C and American departments. However, if she retreated in such a situation, it meant that she was afraid of the other party. Thinking of this, Yixian straightened her chest and walked over with an elegant step.

"No, Sister Yixian will be at a great disadvantage if she goes alone..." Chongqing muttered to herself as she watched Yixian go to the meeting alone and her opponents were all extremely strong. She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her head, and a brilliant idea came to her mind. Thinking of this, she didn't care about anything else and ran away in a hurry, leaving behind the "steadiness" and "dignity" that Yixian repeatedly reminded her of.

On the other side, although Xue Cheng did not notice Yixian's arrival, Essex, who was sitting opposite him, was obviously not a girl who was very good at hiding her inner thoughts. In addition, Lexington next to him also looked back. Xue Cheng keenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He subconsciously looked back and saw a girl wearing a red cheongsam, with long hair like clouds and slender legs, who came behind him at some point.

"Yixian?" Xue Cheng guessed the girl's identity after just a slight hesitation. She had a typical oriental face, with teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes, jet-black hair, and slender legs faintly revealed at the slit of her cheongsam. Yixian's name popped up in his mind almost immediately.

"Yes, Admiral." Yixian nodded. Her expression was calm, her hands crossed in front of her lower abdomen, a gentle smile on the corners of her mouth. She looked at Xue Cheng without blinking and said softly, "Admiral, do you have any opinions on today's lunch?"

Lexington on the side secretly curled his lips. Seeing himself and the admiral here, he came over just to ask about his thoughts on lunch. It was a typical conversation. It seemed that Yixian obviously did not expect such a situation. However, for Lexington, this was a good thing. If Yixian came prepared, Lexington would really be a little afraid of her.

16. Little Changchun

In fact, Lexington's concerns about Yat-sen were not groundless.

As a Chinese, Xue Cheng naturally has a favorable impression of his country's ship girls. In addition, the character designs and portraits of the Chinese ship girls in the game are quite good, so they are particularly favored, and many of them have received costume changes and rings.

Yixian is naturally no exception. Even in the ranking of "The ship girl you most want to marry if you travel to the game world" selected by Xue Cheng when he was bored, Yixian still ranked among the top even in the face of many powerful opponents.

As a Chinese, who can resist a classical beauty like Yixian who has a gentle personality and excellent cooking skills?

Of course, Lexington didn't know what Xue Cheng was thinking, but just looking at his own admiral's attitude towards Yixian, it was not difficult to guess that this was a strong enemy.

"Opinions..." Xue Cheng looked at Yixian, gently stirring the food in the bowl with the chopsticks in his hand. To be honest, he was not very good at eating, and he was not particularly sensitive to the taste of food. He could only tell the difference between delicious and unpalatable. So when Yixian asked him for his opinion, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I have no objection. Yixian is a good cook and the dishes he makes are delicious." Xue Cheng could only say this perfunctorily in the end.

"Is that so?" Yixian blinked, his gaze shifting downwards to the pile of bowls of rice in front of Xue Cheng. He then asked again, "What's the Admiral's favorite dish?"

Xue Cheng thought about it. Although he was not picky about food and the only few vegetables he disliked were not on today's menu, if you asked him which one he particularly liked, it would definitely be the braised beef.

After hearing Xue Cheng's answer, Yixian nodded thoughtfully. "Does the Admiral prefer dishes with strong flavors?" Then, when updating the menu next time, he could add more dishes of this flavor.

Thinking of this, Yixian smiled slightly and said softly, "Because of the need to consider the relationship between production and time, the dishes in the cafeteria are simplified in preparation and the control of the heat is also a bit poor, so the taste is much inferior. If the Admiral likes it, Yixian will make a special portion for you next time."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Xue Cheng was a little tempted. The big pot dishes were already so delicious, what would a carefully cooked dish taste like? Could it really glow?

However, he was still unfamiliar with Yixian. Although they could be considered a couple in the game, Xue Cheng still didn't feel any real sense of reality in his heart.

After all, a few hours ago, he was still a nine-to-five office worker who had been single since birth. Suddenly, he woke up and entered the game, becoming a winner in life with dozens of marriage ships. It was like a dream, and it was impossible for him to integrate into the role in a short time.

Yixian's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, then relaxed. She said softly, "How could that be? Preparing meals for the Admiral is my duty. After all, I'm the Admiral's wife."

"..." Lexington narrowed her eyes. She wasn't sure if Yixian was trying to show off to her, but she really couldn't remain silent any longer. She looked at Xue Cheng, who seemed a little stunned, and said, "Admiral, Yixian does have a point. However, she has to take care of the cafeteria after all, so it might be a little inconvenient for her. Why don't you let me take care of you from now on?"
