Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Although it has not been maintained for a while, the sword is still smooth and sharp, and has not been affected by the humid climate at the seaside. It is worthy of being a sword that can kill deep-sea ship girls.

Shouldn't I learn some kendo from Omi and the others? I can't really treat this treasure as just a decoration, right? That would be such a shame.

Xue Cheng admired the graceful curve of the blade and thought secretly.

One Hundred and Ninety-Eight, Regularization

"Admiral, it's time to eat." Lexington's call brought Xue Cheng back to his senses. He was holding Sanriku in his arms and fantasizing about learning peerless martial arts and going out alone to kill deep-sea monsters like mowing grass.

Really, you are not a child, how can you have such childish thoughts?

Xue Cheng placed the crescent moon on the sword rest, patted his forehead, and walked to the dining table.

After spending a long time with Xue Cheng, Lexington was able to guess his thoughts through some small expressions and movements. Judging from the admiral's appearance, he must be thinking of something that made him feel ashamed.

The wife took off her apron and hung it aside, then asked with a smile, "What is the admiral thinking about?"

"Nothing." Xue Cheng coughed lightly and changed the subject casually: "I just feel a little regretful. A precious sword like the Crescent Moon should not be treated as a work of art like this. It would have been better if I hadn't exchanged it with Omi."

"Admiral..." Lexington raised his arm and tapped his head gently: "Don't say such things. Omi will be sad."

Xue Cheng suddenly came back to his senses. What he had just said was indeed a bit inappropriate. He said awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. Even if there is no deal, Omi will become my wife one day."

The two sat down, and Lexington placed a bowl full of rice in front of Xue Cheng, with a thoughtful expression: "That's right, although Omi is... well, she is a great beauty. It's only a matter of time before she becomes the admiral's wedding ship."

Xue Cheng's expression became forced. He was not sure whether Lexington was angry when he said this.

Putting a piece of meat into Xue Cheng's bowl, Lexington suddenly asked, "By the way, when is the Admiral planning to get married?"

"Puff! Cough cough..." Xue Cheng was eating with big mouthfuls of food, but when he heard Lexington's words, he choked on rice grains in his trachea in panic, and let out a heart-wrenching cough. Lexington was so scared that he quickly patted his back.

After finally coughing up the rice grains, Xue Cheng took the water handed to him by Lexington and took a sip, saying helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hmm?" Lexington asked doubtfully, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Of course there is..." Xue Cheng said helplessly: "Aren't we talking about Omi? Why did it suddenly turn to the marriage constellation?"

"Because Constellation has been waiting for a long time." A strange look flashed in Lexington's eyes, and he said seriously: "The Admiral also likes Constellation, right? I remember there are still some rings of oath left. Since the Admiral can accept Omi, why can't he accept Constellation?"

"Whether it's the time spent with the admiral or the military achievements, Constellation is no worse than Omi, right?"

It is not only not inferior to Omi, compared with the battleship series with serious internal competition, Constellation still has certain competitiveness in battle cruise. In addition, it was implemented earlier than Omi, so whether it is the accumulation of military merits or the sentimental points, it is higher than Omi.

Xue Cheng once thought about marrying the constellations and achieving the feat of taking in all the members of the Lie family. However, compared with Lexington and Saratoga, the styles of the constellations in the game are quite different from them. Although they are sisters, their similarity is not even as good as that of the "Red Lady" Empire.

This was difficult for Xue Cheng, who had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, to accept.

It was for this reason that Xue Cheng was once very dissatisfied with the "white dumpling" Bennington who destroyed the dumpling-level uniform. Later, after marrying all the dumpling-level uniforms, he was forced to give Bennington a ring reluctantly due to the intensity and exquisite changes of clothes.

Of course, the previous dissatisfaction has disappeared after meeting Constellation in person. Ignoring her silly nature and only considering her appearance, Constellation and Lexington still look like sisters.

Just the cruisers and Omi were enough to give Xue Cheng a headache. He could more or less guess what Lexington was thinking as he deliberately avoided his two sisters and came to his villa today. There were also dozens of wedding ships behind him, eyeing them covetously.

Xue Cheng does not plan to marry any other ship girl until he has settled on the existing marriage ship.

In other words, with the current number, even if Xue Cheng was still healthy, one person taking a day's shift would be enough to drain him dry...

Why don’t I have the blessing of the sea...

Xue Cheng thought with resentment.

"Admiral!" Lexington looked at Xue Cheng who suddenly fell into deep thought, puffed his cheeks in dissatisfaction, and spoke in a heavier voice.

"Ah..." Xue Cheng came back to his senses and asked subconsciously: "Where were we just talking about?"

"Speaking of the Admiral's marriage zodiac sign," Lexington rolled his eyes at him, then jokingly said, "Or is Phelps more to the Admiral's liking?"

While saying this, Lexington's eyes were fixed on Xue Cheng, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.

"Phelps?" Xue Cheng recalled the girl from earlier and shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't want it anymore? He'll be arrested by the military police."

Lexington curled his lips subtly. "Admiral, you've managed submarines and destroyers before, so why are you worried now?"

"That was in the past. How can it be the same now?" Xue Cheng's eyes flashed.

"Why is it different now?" Lexington asked.

"..." Xue Cheng was speechless. How should he respond? Should he say that he was a time traveler and had only been playing games before, so he didn't have to worry about the military police enforcing the law across time and space?

Forget it... Xue Cheng shook his head secretly.

"Well, let's talk about this later." Xue Cheng picked up the bowl and started eating. "If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

"..." Lexington hesitated for a moment and gave up dwelling on this issue. After all, her main purpose today was not to fight for anything for her sister.

"Admiral, eat some food..."

After the meal, Xue Cheng sealed the leftover dishes with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator, while Lexington put on an apron and washed the dishes in the dishwasher. The two of them divided the work and quickly finished the aftermath.

"It feels good to be like this sometimes." Sitting on the sofa, Lexington casually tied up her hair and wiped the sweat from the back of her neck with a tissue.

"What?" Xue Cheng looked at her in confusion.

"Like today," Lexington said, a glint of longing in his eyes. "I got up quietly before the Admiral, afraid to disturb his sleep, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

"When the admiral is out at work, I'm like an ordinary housewife, doing some housework like cleaning and washing. In the afternoon, I pick up the kids from school and go grocery shopping."

"I prepare dinner for the three of us in the evening, greet my husband at the door after a hard day's work, and have a happy meal with the whole family."

"After dinner, we sit in front of the TV, watch TV shows, talk about interesting things that happened that day, and then help our children with their homework together."

"Then it's time to go to bed. The Admiral will go to the study to prepare the materials for tomorrow's class. I'll put the child to sleep first, then make a cup of hot milk and go to the study to work with the Admiral. Then..."

Xue Cheng listened quietly without interrupting. Lexington did not fantasize about a magnificent life, but an ordinary life. She seemed to have no attachment to the various privileges she enjoyed as a ship girl.

Once upon a time, Xue Cheng had also fantasized about such a life, but before he had the chance to meet the right person, he traveled to this world.

But with the status of admiral, it is somewhat unrealistic to want such a peaceful life.

Maybe one day, when the threats posed by deep-sea ship girls and deep-sea monsters are completely resolved, and the world no longer needs naval bases or admirals, I will be able to enjoy such a life?

I'm a little bit looking forward to it...

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Xue Cheng returned to his own room again.

It has been a while since I traveled to this world, but I don’t seem to have lived here many times. Looking around, I feel a sense of strangeness. I don’t feel as comfortable as at home in Lexington.

Lexington did not feel the same way as Xue Cheng. She lifted her slightly damp long hair, and skillfully took out the snack box hidden by Tirpitz from the corner of the closet and placed it on the computer desk.

"Admiral, would you like something to eat?" Lexington asked.

Xue Cheng shook his head, looking a little absent-minded.

"Potato chips? Beef jerky? Pork jerky? Or grilled fish fillet?" Lexington asked. "How about some nuts?"

Seeing Lexington's insistence, Xue Cheng said, "Whatever."

"How about a bag of nuts? I read in a book that people who exercise should consume some high-quality fats before going to bed." Lexington picked and chose a bag of mixed nuts and came to Xue Cheng.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter what happens." Xue Cheng's gaze followed Lexington.

The girl sat down next to Xue Cheng, and the faint scent of lemon shower gel drifted into Xue Cheng's nose, making him feel itchy. Lexington chuckled, and with her scallion-like fingers, she pinched a cashew nut and handed it to his mouth.

Xue Cheng opened his mouth and was about to bite the cashew nut when it suddenly drew an arc and fell into his light pink thin lips.

“???” Xue Cheng looked at Lexington strangely. He subconsciously felt that Lexington would not be joking with him, and this move must have a deep meaning.

Xue Cheng did not hesitate, and took the initiative to put his arms around Lexington's waist and hugged the girl tightly in his arms.

After a long while, Lexington pushed Xue Cheng away, panting a little. She took a few deep breaths, then glared at Xue Cheng unhappily and straightened her messy pajamas: "Admiral, you really don't know how to behave at all."

Xue Cheng chuckled. Compared to Lexington, he was considered more experienced. Plus, as a man, his lung capacity was higher than that of a woman. If he exerted all his strength, the girl would only be defeated and would have no chance to resist.

"It's because Lexington is so cute that I can't help myself."

Lexington looked at the grinning Xue Cheng and puffed out his cheeks as he said, "The admiral before would never say such things. I really miss the time when the admiral just came back."

Xue Cheng coughed twice and rubbed his face to make his expression look more serious.

"It's useless." Lexington sighed falsely. "No matter how much I pretend, the Admiral can't go back to that time. I really can't accept it. I'm the Admiral's first wife, but the cruiser and Omi got there first."

"Does Lexington care about this?"

Lexington looked at him with resentful eyes: "I care, of course I care."

Xue Cheng smiled slightly and said softly: "But for me, Lexington is the first girl who made me take the initiative wholeheartedly."

……

I don't know how long it took, the bright moon outside the window rose to the middle, and then fell. The chirping of insects in the summer night and the sound of waves in the distance came into my ears. Xue Cheng lay on his back, closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the rare tranquility.

Feeling a slight sting, Xue Cheng opened his eyes. The girl lying on his chest opened her mouth, leaving two rows of thin teeth marks.

"The Admiral is really lying to me, isn't he?" Lexington's eyes were filled with resentment as she said bitterly, "What do you mean she's the first girl the Admiral has ever taken the initiative with? The Admiral is clearly very experienced!"

"That's not the way it works," Xue Cheng argued. "Strictly speaking, the cruiser was used through temptation, and Omi was used out of a resentful desire to not admit defeat. Only the Lexington made me want to do it on my own initiative."

"Sweet talk." Lexington turned his face away.

"I'm obviously telling the truth." Xue Cheng leaned sideways, letting the girl lying on his chest slide down. Then he put his arms around her smooth shoulders and kissed her forehead lightly.

Lexington buried her face in Xue Cheng's chest. Even if it was just sweet talk, she was willing to believe it.

"Finally, I've done something like this with the Admiral," Lexington murmured. "I can finally rest assured. Before, I always felt like even though the Admiral was right in front of me, there was like an invisible barrier between us. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any closer to him."

"Sometimes it feels like the time I spend with the Admiral is like a dream. Once I wake up, all the beautiful things that only existed in dreams disappear and can never be found again."

"Actually, for me, Lexington is more like a beautiful dream." Xue Cheng held the girl tightly in his arms, as if wanting to convey his feelings through her body temperature. "If I weren't the admiral, Lexington wouldn't like me, right?"

"That's not the case!" Lexington's tone was a little hurried. She raised her head and gently bumped Xue Cheng's chin, saying unhappily, "The Admiral is a very outstanding and powerful person. Even if the Admiral is just an ordinary person, I'm not a ship girl. If I meet him on the street, Lexington will take the initiative to talk to the Admiral and pursue him."

"Really? I don't believe it." Xue Cheng teased

"Admiral, don't you believe me?" Lexington propped himself up with one hand, half-sitting up. The thin blanket slipped from his shoulders, revealing his jade-white skin, which shone like a beautiful jade in the moonlight. "Let me prove it to you, Admiral."

"Hmm? Wait, wait a minute, Lexington!" Xue Cheng looked at the half-smiling girl and realized something. He said stiffly, "It's getting late. Shouldn't we..."

Lexington looked out the window at the night scene and smiled sweetly: "It's still early, isn't the moon still there?"

"But……"

"Admiral, it's not even ten times yet."

"Help……"
