Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Xue Cheng was lost in thought when he saw Lexington coming over to him and looking at him curiously. He quickly forced a smile and handed the Onimaru to her, trying to divert her attention: "Look, I got another knife."

Lexington took Onimaru with a smile, pulled out the blade slightly, and gently ran his scallion-like fingers over the blood-red blade. He said meaningfully, "The sword is good, but what the admiral wants more is probably its owner, right?"

One hundred and sixty-eight, guilty conscience

At the dining table, Xue Cheng ate the food that should have been delicious as if it were chewing wax.

As a perfect wife, Lexington has a very high level of cooking skills. Even if she doesn't cook the dishes herself, she can cook them quite well. Although not as good as Yixian, they are still rare delicacies.

However, Xue Cheng had no intention of enjoying the delicious food. He picked up the bowl and put rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls, but his eyes were covered as he looked at the sword placed next to Lexington's chair.

Because Lexington caught him in the act, Omi ran away out of shyness, but the sword was left behind. Xue Cheng took it back and planned to return it tomorrow, but Lexington seemed to like it very much and kept playing with it in his hand.

Even when eating, he put the knife aside, as if he was reluctant to separate any of them.

This is not a good sign for Xue Cheng. As the saying goes, I have the hatchet, so how far can a good boat be?

By the way, Lexington is a ship girl, and isn’t a ship girl a ship?

A hatchet, a good boat, is this the bloody end?

Cold sweat started flowing down.

Xing Xing, who was sitting next to Xue Cheng, casually picked up a dish that was placed farther away for him. Noticing that Xue Cheng looked distracted, he curiously nudged him with his arm and asked, "Admiral? What are you thinking about? Is today's meal not to your liking?"

"Swish!" Lexington's eyes suddenly looked over. Xue Cheng shuddered and met Lexington's inquiring gaze. He quickly picked up the bowl and started eating. He mumbled, "No, Lexington's food is really delicious."

Xingzhi blinked. From her perspective, she could clearly see that there was no rice left in the admiral's bowl.

Having been overtaken by Xingzhi and not daring to compete with her sister for a seat, sister-in-law Saratoga pouted and sat opposite Xue Cheng, sulking.

After hearing Xue Cheng's words, Saratoga poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks and said resentfully, "Brother-in-law must have done something bad outside just now."

"No." Xue Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly glanced at Lexington and found that he was just looking at him with a smile, with no intention of exposing him. He immediately said confidently, "It's just that the weather is a bit hot and I can't eat."

Hot weather? Saratoga curled her lips. The sun had already set outside, the temperature was dropping rapidly, and the room was air-conditioned. How could it be so hot that she couldn't eat?

Also, where did that sword come from? Although I know that my brother-in-law got a sword called Crescent Moon from Omi, this one is obviously different from Crescent Moon.

Saratoga did not expose Xue Cheng because she knew someone would do it for her.

"But..." Constellation's eyes fell on Onimaru beside Lexington, and he said curiously: "Isn't that Omi's favorite sword? I remember Omi treasured it very much and spent a lot of time cleaning and maintaining it every day. How did the admiral bring it back? Could it be that..."

The air conditioner was clearly at a comfortable temperature, but Xingzhi's words made Xue Cheng sweat profusely. He carefully considered his words and slowly said, "Well, I just ran into Omi while taking a walk outside. We talked for a while, and then Omi had to leave in a hurry and accidentally left Onimaru on the side of the road, so I brought it back and will return it to her tomorrow."

Saratoga narrowed her eyes, she was sure that something must have happened between the admiral and Omi just now.

But...that's Omi, the famous straight woman in the naval base. How could such a blockhead like the admiral get involved with Omi?

Not to mention Saratoga, even Lexington, who saw it with his own eyes, found it a little unbelievable.

Xingzuo wanted to ask more, but at this moment, Lexington suddenly covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then said in a calm tone: "Eat."

The seemingly carefree Constellation immediately shut up, and even Saratoga, who was full of resentment, didn't dare to say anything more.

Dinner was carried out in a slightly dull atmosphere.

After the meal, Xue Cheng took the initiative to go to the kitchen and wanted to help Lexington wash the dishes, but when he saw Lexington put the plates into the dishwasher, he suddenly fell silent.

I'm used to living in poverty, Xue Cheng sighed in his heart.

Although he was not so poor as to be unable to afford a dishwasher before, he lived alone and had very few dishes to wash every day, so there was no need to buy one.

After traveling through time, he thought he had gotten used to his current identity. However, when he saw the huge dishwasher in Lexington's house, he suddenly felt like a little stupid.

"Hmm? Admiral?" Lexington raised his head, looked at Xue Cheng who walked in, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing." Xue Cheng touched his nose, his eyes flickering: "I just wanted to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Lexington tilted his head and thought for a moment, then took out an apple from a bag beside him, washed it briefly, and handed it to him: "Admiral, try it and see if it's sweet."

"..." Xue Cheng looked at the apple handed to him, then looked at the clean and tidy kitchen, silently took the apple and started to eat it.

In the living room, Xingxing was sitting on the sofa with tea in front of her. However, she had no intention of sipping the tea. Instead, she stretched her neck and kept looking towards the kitchen.

"Hey, stop looking." Saratoga, dressed in a plain long dress, curled up on the sofa with her bare feet on the edge of the sofa, holding a tablet in her hands. Without looking up, she said, "You're not a wedding ship. It's better not to think too much about some things."

"W-what!" Xingxing clenched his fists and said angrily in a low voice, "What's so great about a wedding ship? Even my sister didn't have a ring from the beginning. As the saying goes, things change over time. Don't bully a poor girl. Stop looking down on her!"

Saratoga raised her head and looked at her expressionlessly. "For someone like you who is not only big in stature, but also fat in the waist and body, with dry hair and puffy eyes, and has nothing to offer except the fat on your chest, you'd better give up as soon as possible. You have no chance."

"You! Don't talk nonsense!" Xingxing was almost angry to death. Although she was a little taller than her sister and Saratoga, it was only a little bit. Besides, the slanders about her fat waist, fat body, dry hair, etc. were completely fabricated.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Saratoga sneered. "Look, I've only said a few words, and you're already impatiently trying to refute me. You're clearly guilty! Humph, you won't let me speak, but I'm going to say it anyway. Your calf..."

Before Saratoga could finish her words, she was tackled by the enraged Constellation, and the two girls immediately started fighting.

When Xue Cheng finished eating the apple and Lexington washed the dishes and returned to the living room, they saw the two sisters rolling around on the sofa like little children.

169. Submitting wages

"Stop it." Lexington patted the back of the sofa and said to the two sisters who were trying hard to pin each other down, "You are grown-up girls, not children anymore. Why are you still playing such childish games? Hurry up and get up. I cut up some fruit. Come and eat together."

"Oh." The two sisters who were inseparable just now immediately stopped fighting tacitly, sat in front of the coffee table, picked up the fruit with the toothpicks prepared by Lexington, and started eating.

"Huh? Brother-in-law doesn't want to eat?" Saratoga glanced and noticed Xue Cheng sitting alone at the other end of the sofa, fiddling with his cell phone in his hand, and asked curiously.

"I just ate an apple in the kitchen." Xue Cheng shrugged. Xiao Zhai and the others were posting photos taken during their outing in the group. There were individual photos and group photos of Rodney and his three little girls. He was busy saving the photos to his mobile phone.

Well, this one is good, I might as well set it as wallpaper.

Xue Cheng looked at a group photo taken in front of a cartoon character sculpture and thought secretly.

"Is that so?" Saratoga's eyes rolled around, a hint of cunning in her clear eyes. She gently pinched a strawberry with her fingers, jumped to Xue Cheng's side, and handed the strawberry to Xue Cheng's mouth, "Brother-in-law, try this."

"Oh." Xue Cheng was busy saving photos and responded casually. He opened his mouth and wanted to bite the strawberry, but suddenly the strawberry was pushed into his mouth by a force, and at the same time, he felt a soft touch on his teeth.

Xue Cheng blinked and looked at the girl sitting next to him, retracting her fingers and squinting her eyes like a little fox.

"Brother-in-law, is it sweet?" Saratoga picked up another strawberry, but this time she didn't pass the strawberry to Xue Cheng's mouth. Instead, she ate it herself, and laughed while holding the finger that had just held the strawberry in her mouth.

"...It's okay." Xue Cheng said vaguely, his cheeks slightly hot.

"Saratoga!" The girl's thought-to-be-hidden little action didn't go unnoticed by Constellation. She pointed at Saratoga, who was biting her finger, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!"

Saratoga looked innocent and turned away to ignore the accusations of Constellation. However, when she saw her sister Lexington looking at her with a meaningful look, she suddenly felt guilty and quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Showering right after dinner?" Xue Cheng looked at Saratoga strangely. He didn't notice Lexington's eye contact with her. "How about waiting a little longer?"

"No, I'm sweating a lot and feeling uncomfortable." Faced with her sister's oppressive gaze, Saratoga decisively chose to escape.

When Saratoga finished her shower and returned to the living room wearing a loose bathrobe with the collar deliberately open, the only person on the sofa was Zodiac, who was happily watching TV while holding half a watermelon and eating it with a spoon.

"Where are my sister and brother-in-law?" Saratoga had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I'm going to my sister's room with some snacks." Xingxing said without turning his head while eating watermelon and watching TV.

"Snacks?" Saratoga felt annoyed. If it was just snacks, why not in the living room? Thinking of what happened between the cruiser and the admiral yesterday, Saratoga suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Stupid Constellation!" Saratoga said in frustration. "Why didn't you stop them?"

"Why are you scolding me again?" Xing Xing finally came to her senses. She was not one to be punched. She wanted to fight and let the other party know who was the big sister, but she was reluctant to put down the watermelon in her arms. She could only say aggrievedly: "What do I have to do with my sister and the admiral?"

“…” Saratoga also knew that what she said was a bit unreasonable. She stomped her feet angrily, then rolled her eyes and left the living room silently.

At this time, Lexington and Xue Cheng did not do what Saratoga expected, but sat together and chatted normally.

"I heard Xiao Zhai and the others brought gifts for everyone at the garrison." Xue Cheng, nibbling on a chocolate-flavored Pocky, placed the figurine Xiao Zhai had given him on Lexington's dresser, admiring it as he said, "Where did they get all that money? Did they spend all the pocket money they've saved over the years?"

"How can that be so exaggerated?" Lexington peeled a pistachio and put it in his mouth, saying unhappily, "Those three little ones also frequently attack. Although they haven't participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the deep-sea flagship, ordinary deep-sea ship girls still have a lot of achievements, and they have also earned a lot of bonuses."

"Besides, I received lucky money during the Chinese New Year. Over the years, I have become a wealthy woman."

"Oh?" Xue Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the exquisitely crafted figurines in his hand, which he had never dared to imagine before, and said self-deprecatingly: "I can't believe they are actually wealthy women? They can afford so many things, it seems they are richer than me."

Lexington blinked. "Actually... the Admiral's salary and bonuses over the years are all with me. Speaking of wealth, apart from Santi, no one in the entire garrison is richer than the Admiral."

As he spoke, Lexington took out a bank card and handed it to Xue Cheng: "I forgot about this. A man can't live without money. This is the admiral's salary card, and the password is your birthday."

Xue Cheng looked at the bank card handed to him and swallowed subconsciously. Although he didn't know the exact amount, his intuition told him that the money in it was probably an astronomical figure that he would never be able to earn in his entire life.

However, Xue Cheng hesitated for a moment, gently pushed Lexington's hand back, and then faced the other party's surprised look, smiled and said: "No need, leaving it here with Lexington is no different from leaving it with me. If I need it, I will discuss it with Lexington."

"But this would be very inconvenient, wouldn't it?" Lexington advised, "I'm not always with the Admiral. What if he needs money urgently?"

Xue Cheng cleared his throat and looked at Lexington deeply: "Then, as long as Lexington is always by my side, it will be fine."

After a brief silence, Lexington suddenly smiled, and her expression suddenly became bright. She gave Xue Cheng a light look, and with a flip of her wrist, the bank card immediately disappeared in the ripples of space.

"I don't have that much time to accompany the admiral. If the time comes, I'd better ask Omi for help."

Although he said so, Lexington's tone clearly carried a hint of secret joy, and there was no trace of anger in his voice anymore. Xue Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Lexington really did care about Omi's affairs. Fortunately, he made the right choice, otherwise...

Xue Cheng was thinking in his mind, picking up the last Pocky and putting it in his mouth, just as he was about to take a bite, a fragrant breeze blew in his face, and Lexington's face appeared in front of him.

"There's only one left. Admiral, do you mind eating it with me?"

One Hundred and Seventy, Little Troublemaker

A dreamless night.

Perhaps because he had consumed too much energy sweating in the gym, Xue Cheng rarely gave up cultivating immortality and turned off the lights to go to bed before 11 o'clock.

The next morning, Xue Cheng's long-tortured biological clock rang on time. He woke up in a daze, and the sunlight shone through the curtains and hit his face.

Xue Cheng rubbed his eyes and wanted to stretch out as usual, but his arms felt heavy.

Hmm? Xue Cheng turned his head. The flaxen hair was spread out on the pillow like satin. The girl had her eyes closed, hugging his arm tightly in her arms as if it were a pillow, and was sleeping soundly.
