It's time to give out the rings, Admiral!

Guanghui's words made the young man hesitate slightly. His wife was actually angry because he had a cold and fever. This was really not a good thing. She hadn't been angry when he had taken Guanghui without her knowledge before, and even married Fei'er in front of her. But now she was angry because he was sick. It seemed that his act of showing off had really made her unhappy.

"Yes, Admiral, I can understand what Sister Lexington is thinking. I was also shocked when I received the telegram from Little Fei. Admiral actually got sick because of showing off. If I hadn't seen you lying in bed like this with an IV drip when I got back, I would have given you a good talking to."

"Ahaha... Sorry, Glorious, I made you worry."

"Hehe, you don't need to apologize to me, Admiral. You can talk to Sister Lexington properly when she comes back later. Also, Admiral, if you encounter this situation again in the future, I hope you can think more about yourself."

"Although Unicorn looks delicate, she's a ship girl just like me. We'll be fine if we fall into the water, but if you catch a cold, Admiral, you'll get sick like this. I believe that even if you hadn't helped Unicorn back then, she wouldn't have blamed you. What do you say, Unicorn?"

She gently held her admiral's warm hand in her own palm and whispered in the boy's ear. She gently brushed the silver strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead and obscured her vision back behind her snow-white ear. She then turned her head and smiled at her unicorn sister, who was also sitting on the other side, nestled against her admiral.

As if by telepathy, the girl seemed to sense the somewhat intriguing gaze her older sister, Radiant, was giving her a firm nod to the boy who hadn't yet spoken.

"Yes, Radiant Sister is right, the unicorn won't blame Brother."

His wife and sister seemed to be working in perfect unison. Hearing the unicorn's resolute voice, the young man smiled helplessly. Of course, he wanted to think of himself first. It was wrong to show off afterwards, but how could he not reach out to help his sister when he saw her about to fall? As an admiral, how could he not help his own girl? He could only say it was beyond his control. He knew he was wrong, but he was sorry. He would definitely make the same mistake again next time, at most just be a little more careful.

Seeing her admiral's troubled expression, Glorious gently touched her admiral's palm and smiled softly. She turned her head to look at Unicorn's slightly flushed cheeks, then at the focused and serious gaze she was giving the admiral. Touching her lips, she whispered a sentence in a voice only she could hear.

"Hmm, it seems the time has come for the unicorns too..."

…………

After chatting with Radiance and the Unicorn for a while, the beautiful lady carried a large bowl of ginger soup back to the boy's room with Fei'er. The steaming porcelain bowl contained the aroma of ginger mixed with the smell of some other seasonings that were hard to identify, and it seemed that just smelling it would warm one up.

The young man lying on the bed took the porcelain bowl handed to him by his wife and drank it all in one gulp without saying a word. He thought the ginger soup would be very strong, but after drinking it, he only felt a faint sweetness and ginger flavor. He did not feel the burning sensation in his throat that he had imagined.

"How is it? Is it good? I remember you didn't used to really like ginger soup, right? So I specially modified it to suit your taste~"

Lexington took the clean porcelain bowl from the boy and smiled with satisfaction. Although her darling's actions today had indeed made her a little resentful, seeing him obediently drink the ginger soup she had specially made for him and take good care of himself made her feel much more at ease.

She sat gently on the edge of the boy's bed and began to gently stroke her husband's forehead, which had cooled down. The warmth from her fingertips made her feel slightly at ease. Her gentle and clear eyes looked at her husband's expression as he seemed to enjoy her touch, like a mother doting on her child. She squeezed her husband's fingers, which were already in her palm, tightly and affectionately.

"It's delicious. I like everything you make, Madam... But I'm sorry, Madam, I made you angry because of what happened today."

But just moments ago, while she was enjoying her own caresses, her husband suddenly began to apologize to her. Looking at her husband's slightly apologetic yet pitiful expression, she gasped for breath and almost couldn't resist the urge to kiss him. Surprised, Lexington paused in surprise.

"Honey, how did you know I was angry?"

The boy didn't speak, but his gaze inadvertently swept over his sister, Glorious, who was sitting beside him, also gazing at him. Having observed this, Lexington roughly understood the reason. She gently pursed her glistening lips and then pouted affectionately at the boy.

"Hehe, I know, darling, you must have heard it from Glorious Sister. Yeah, that's right, I am angry. Who told you, you little rascal, not to take good care of yourself?"

Volume 1, Chapter 428: Many People Feel Sorry

Lexington was indeed angry, and this time she was really angry. She could tolerate her husband having more than one wife, and she could tolerate his unreasonable and demanding nature, always wanting her and Jaja to be with him. But what she couldn't accept was that her husband was being so uncaring towards her today.

Today he just caught a cold by accident, but what about tomorrow? What if something goes wrong and he gets injured and hospitalized? To her, her darling is like her whole world, and that's no exaggeration. She's already worried sick just seeing him holding a knife or scissors, things that might hurt him. If something like that really happened, wouldn't she be heartbroken?

She was indeed angry, but she was mostly angry at herself. She was angry that she couldn't manage everything around her husband properly, and that she hadn't raised him to be a "useless person" who needed her help with everything earlier. If she had completed her plans sooner, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Lexington bent down and stroked her husband's cheek with her fair fingers. The warmth from his fingertips made her feel at ease and attached. Her deep blue eyes, as deep as the ocean and sky, looked at the boy's face, which was also "timidly" looking at her. She couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss her husband's face.

"Yes, I am angry. I'm angry that I can't take good care of you, my little idiot; I'm angry that I can't be there for you when you're in trouble; and I'm angry that I didn't spoil you. If you, my dear, had become a useless person who needed to rely on me for everything, your beloved wife, then this would never have happened."

A voice full of love and tenderness gently rang in the young man's ear. She could never bear to blame her husband, otherwise all the blame would fall on her.

However, this incident also reminded her that her garrison had everything but seemed to lack a hospital. Her previous husband had never been sick and had always been healthy. Although she had thought about it, she hadn't paid much attention to it. But after returning this time, it seemed that she really needed to make proper preparations.

The feeling of soft lips pressed against his face was clearly tangible, and his wife's gentle, reproachful voice clearly reached the young man's ears. However, the more he looked at his wife's expression and actions, the less blaming she seemed, the more guilty he felt.

His fingers gripped Lexington's hand, preventing her from sitting up immediately. Seeing his wife blink her beautiful eyes in confusion, the young man quickly said, "No, ma'am, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so careless. It's all my fault, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

The boy paused slightly, looking genuinely anxious, which made Lexington, who had been watching him, squint her clear eyes into crescent moons with affection. Her left hand's five fingers unconsciously intertwined with the fingers of her husband's hand that were holding hers, and she tilted her head cutely at her husband.

"Hehe, okay, don't make that face. It's really heartbreaking to see you like that. I'm not angry, I was just teasing you. But darling, if you keep being so stubborn and not taking good care of yourself next time, then I'll really get angry. You don't treat your body like a treasure, but there are plenty of people in our naval base who care about it, plenty of sisters who cherish it dearly. Since you can't take good care of our most precious treasure, then we'll just have to take over."

Lexington gently scratched the boy's hand, who was now at ease, with her index finger. She then sat up quietly. Her snow-white naval uniform was stretched taut by her high breasts and deep cleavage. Her hot pants and black stockings were also very attractive to her husband. She glanced at the clock in the cabin, her eyes widening in surprise, then she frowned reluctantly. She turned her head and kissed her husband's forehead gently once again.

"It's getting late. If we don't go back soon, Jiajia will definitely worry. Darling, you should continue to recover well on the ship. Guanghui and I are going back to sea to escort the passenger ship. Don't do anything that will worry people until you're better from your cold."

His gentle smile and loving gaze were so dazzling. Gazing at his wife's flawless face, he almost couldn't help but say that he wanted her to stay here with him instead of going back. The young man patiently nodded.

"Yes, I understand, madam. However, please be careful about what I told you at noon."

"Hmm? Oh, is it about the passenger ship that went missing in the nearby waters? Don't worry, darling, I will be very careful, so don't worry about us. Before coming back, I also sent out carrier-based aircraft to scout the nearby waters, and so far we haven't found any deep-sea fleets wandering around the area. We'll continue searching when we get back, but I suspect it's very likely that a deep-sea submarine was responsible. Let Marani get some rest later."

"Okay, if Marani can't handle it by himself, don't force it. Let Unicorn and Xiaofei help."

"Well, I see."

Lexington stood up with a smile. Although she was reluctant to leave her ailing husband, ensuring the safety of the passenger ship and her husband at sea was more important than taking care of him. Besides, there was no need to rush. Tomorrow morning, Xiaofei and Unicorn Sister would come to relieve her and Glorious Sister, giving her ample time to spend with her beloved.

"Xiaofei, Unicorn Sister, your darling is in your care from now on. Please take good care of him and make sure his cold doesn't get worse. Once his fever goes down, you can wipe his body with a warm towel. I saw he was sweating quite a bit just now."

"I understand, Sister Lexington."

"Um... Sister Lexington."

Seeing her two younger sisters nod earnestly at her, Lexington, satisfied, gently patted their little heads, finished explaining the remaining matters, winked affectionately at her husband, and then turned to look at Radiance, who was sitting by the boy's bedside, gazing at her.

“Glorious sister, let’s get ready to go. Is there anything else you want to tell your darling? Jiajia and Malani are probably getting impatient. If we don’t go back soon, I’m afraid she’ll rush back.”

"Okay, that's all. Let's go then, Sister Lexington. Admiral, please take good care of yourself and get some rest. Sister Lexington and I will head back now."

Volume 1, Chapter 429: Take Good Care of You

Lexington and Glorious hurriedly returned to continue escorting the passenger ship. Without the company of their two wives, Lexington and Glorious, it was indeed worrying to leave the unreliable Gaja and Marani to protect the passenger ship at sea.

The gentle expressions and demeanor of his wives were still vivid in his mind. After Lexington and Glorious left, the huge cabin was once again left with only the boy and his two lovely little sisters.

The air conditioner was still blowing heat, and the hot air made the room so hot that people couldn't help but sweat. Phelps, who had just been told by his sister Lexington how to take care of his father, and was holding a wet towel soaked in cold water, slowly walked to the boy's bedside and sat down beside him.

"Are you feeling any better, Dad?"

The lovely girl frowned slightly, her soft, white fingertips touching her father's forehead. She felt that her father's forehead was even warmer than usual, and her pretty brows furrowed even more. Feeling extremely sorry for him, the girl gently placed the damp towel in her hand on the boy's forehead.

"I'm much better. I feel like my fever is almost gone. Don't worry about me, Fei'er."

A cool sensation came from his forehead, and the worried expression on the girl's face was reflected in the boy's pupils. Her look, full of worry and self-blame, made the boy smile at her and then touch her smooth and delicate forehead again.

Although he still felt a bit thirsty, it was much better than the lightheaded feeling he had when he first woke up. However, the only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that he had indeed sweated a lot, just as his wife had said. The room temperature was too high, and Xiaofei refused to turn it down, so he still felt a sticky feeling on his back.

"Really, Dad? That's good. Dad, you suddenly developed a high fever while you were taking your afternoon nap. It really scared me to death..."

The young girl was a little scared. At noon, after she finished cleaning up the dishes and preparing the ingredients for dinner in the kitchen, she returned to the cabin and wanted to take a nice nap with her beloved father. However, she suddenly found that her father seemed to have a high fever. The burning heat on her father's head, which seemed to be in great pain, was imprinted on her palm, which still makes her feel scared to this day.

Terrified by the situation, she immediately notified her sisters Lexington and Glorious, who were escorting the ship at sea. The wording of the telegram was slightly exaggerated because she was afraid that something had happened to her father. So much so that when her sisters Lexington and Glorious returned together, they anxiously asked her what had happened to her father.

Although she immediately went to the ship's medical room to call a doctor after calming down, and the doctor only said it was a minor cold after examining her father, she still felt a little ashamed when she thought about how anxious she had been, as if the sky was about to fall.

Yes, I clearly promised to take good care of my father and never let him encounter any danger or situations like what happened a year ago that I would never want to see again. But this time, I was so helpless and scared because of just a small cold and fever. How can I take good care of my father when I'm like this?

"Haha, I'm sorry, Fei'er. If I had listened to you and asked you to make me a bowl of ginger soup before lunch, this wouldn't have happened. I'm so sorry."

The girl, her cheeks slightly flushed, squinted her eyes like a cat, comfortably enjoying the feeling of her father's warm hand gently stroking her head. She had just been so frightened, and now only the familiar and heartwarming warmth of her father's hand could make her feel slightly at ease.

Knowing that her father was feeling much better, and that the temperature he felt on her fingertips had indeed dropped significantly, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, patting her rather ample chest. Her light, clear eyes watched her father's expression, listening to his slightly apologetic words that seemed to be comforting her. The girl pursed her lips slightly, raised her hand, and took the arm that the boy had placed on her head into her own. She then gently shook her head at him.

"No, Dad, it's me, it's Fei'er who should apologize to you... Fei'er knows perfectly well that Dad can't take care of himself, but I didn't even try to persuade Dad and let him try to be brave. It's all Fei'er's fault."

With her back to the bright afternoon sunlight streaming in through the window, the girl seemed to be bathed in a warm glow in the boy's eyes, and she lowered her eyes slightly. This time, her carelessness had caused her father to fall ill with a fever, a huge blow to her. But after reflecting on her actions, the girl, though heartbroken, gained even more confidence in taking better care of her father.

"But it definitely won't happen again next time. Next time, I will definitely take good care of Dad."

The boy lying on the bed was suddenly grabbed tightly by the cute girl in front of him, his own daughter. Hearing the girl's words, which were unfounded yet very firm, the boy was now completely bewildered.

Good heavens, Fei'er, did you conspire with Madam and the others? You're taking all the blame upon yourselves. How can you spoil your admiral like this? This makes me feel even more guilty. Besides, you can't spoil an admiral. If you do, something bad will happen. He might even become a useless admiral!

What? You're saying that the admiral who's spoiled by Phil and his wife is me? Never mind then.

The young man shook his head with amusement, but his eyes were filled with emotion. He could truly feel the deep concern and worry his girls had for him. If he had anticipated their strong reaction before he acted recklessly, and even that his wife was somewhat angry about it, he would have been a little more careful.

It's fair to say he was overly confident in his body, unaware that his depleted physique was utterly unreliable. This just goes to show that exercise really needs to be taken seriously. Once we pick up Xiaorou and return to the port, it's time to get back into shape.

"Then I'll have to leave things to you from now on, Fei'er."

"Okay, don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of you, for your sake and for my own, hehe. Oh, right, I need to go to the infirmary later to get some medicine for you. Let Unicorn Sister stay with you for a while. She told me before that she wanted someone to take care of you."

Volume 1, Chapter 430: Helping

Phelps went to the infirmary to get medicine for her worrying father, but as soon as she stepped out of the cabin, the docile little girl went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go; it was just that she had already prepared the medicine for her father before he woke up. The reason she left the cabin to give her father and unicorn the rest of the time before dinner was because unicorn had discussed it with her before her father woke up from his nap. She wanted to take care of her father herself because she believed that it was because of her that her father caught a cold and had a fever.

Radiant Sister and Lexington Sister left, and Little Fei Sister kept her promise and entrusted the task of taking care of her brother to herself. The warm cabin became quiet once again. Listening to the air conditioner on the wall still running, the lovely girl with beautiful light purple hair and a slightly shy demeanor slowly raised her head and looked at her brother who was still lying on the bed.

"Brother... Sister Xiaofei said that the unicorn will take care of you. Is there anything you need the unicorn to do?"

Her pink lips parted slightly a few times as she held Yu-chan in her arms. Because the gauze dress she wore that morning was completely soaked, she had to change into a new light blue dress. The adorable girl gently stood up from the stool beside her and came to the boy's bedside.

Using a fragrant handkerchief, she gently wiped the beads of sweat from her brother's forehead. Her beautiful face still bore a deep sense of self-reproach and guilt. With a frown, she sat down on a chair closer to her brother by the bed.

Her brother said he didn't blame himself, that it was because he was too careless and stubborn that things turned out this way. But the unicorn knew that if it weren't for her carelessness, her brother wouldn't have ended up like this.

Xiaofei felt guilty when she noticed her brother's fever and was at a loss. The worry and heartache on Guanghui and Lexington's faces when they rushed back from the sea made her feel even more guilty. She felt so bad she wanted them to scold her, but whether it was Guanghui, Lexington, or Xiaofei, they all just comforted her and didn't seem to want to blame her. She wanted her brother to say something, but he just smiled at her, patted her head, and told her it wasn't her fault.

The little girl bit her lip hard. She knew that her brother and sister, Radiant, were saying this to her so that she wouldn't think too much or feel guilty. But Unicorn wasn't a useless child. Unicorn also wanted to be able to help her brother as much as Radiant could. The more they did this, the more upset she became. With her eyes, which seemed to be a little sore, the girl reached out and held her brother's arm that was draped over the bed.

"Hmm... not yet. Actually, Unicorn, you don't need to worry about me so much. I can take care of myself. If you're bored, come up to the deck with Xiaofei. It's not very interesting to sit here with me, is it?"

Hearing the girl's delicate and melodious voice so close to him, the relaxed boy shook his head. Now only he and the unicorn remained in the cabin. He wanted the little girl to keep him company, since being on an IV drip was incredibly boring. The unicorn wanted to take care of him, but he didn't have anything else to do. He figured it would be better to let Xiaofei accompany the unicorn to the deck for a walk; he doubted the unicorn was in a good mood after what had happened.

Moreover, he felt a sticky, uncomfortable feeling on his back. He wanted to find a towel to wipe himself and change his shirt. He felt a little embarrassed to have the unicorn watching him.

However, when he looked at the girl's eyes, which were slightly red again, she grabbed his arm tightly and suddenly shook her head at him forcefully.

"It's okay, brother... I already promised Sister Xiaofei that I would take good care of you. Brother... whatever it is, the unicorn can help, okay? The unicorn isn't a useless child..."

The little girl gripped his hand tightly, her gentle voice trembling slightly. Hearing her still gentle yet somewhat uneasy voice, the boy paused for a moment. Looking at the girl's aggrieved expression, as if she was trying to hold back tears, he rubbed his temples and gave a soft, bitter smile.

He recognized that expression; he'd seen it on Xiaorou's face more than once. He remembered it was last winter; Xiaorou had also caught a cold and fever. He'd carried her for miles around four or five in the morning to get her medicine and a doctor, finally bringing her to the clinic in town. Xiaorou recovered, but he himself caught a cold and developed a fever. He remembered telling her he didn't need her to take care of him, and that's the expression she used to protest.

They are both younger sisters, both beautiful and cute girls, and even their expressions when faced with similar situations are so similar. If Xiao Rou's personality and the unicorn's personality weren't so different, he might have subconsciously treated the unicorn as Xiao Rou.

He sighed softly. He was increasingly convinced that once the unicorn met Xiaorou, the two of them would get along very well.

"Phew... Alright then. Since the unicorn is so eager to help, go get me a hot towel. I've been sweating a lot, and I want to wipe myself off and change my clothes. My shirt is in the closet over there."

After a moment's thought, the boy said this. He knew the principle that it was better to guide than to block. He could also understand what the girl was thinking. He thought about how Xiao Rou had gotten into a rut because he said he didn't need her to take care of her, and even got herself sick to keep him company. Since she was still blaming herself for what happened at noon, he decided to let her keep him company. After all, it was just changing clothes, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Yes, brother!"

The little girl nodded obediently. Relieved to have her brother's permission, she quickly got up to get a towel dampened with hot water. From the wardrobe next to her, she took a shirt that her sister Lexington had washed and folded for her brother, and then she returned to the boy's bedside once again.

"Brother, I brought it..."

Volume 1, Chapter 431: Grievance

"Brother, I brought it..."

The girl standing by the bed had a slightly flushed face, so shy and adorable. The dim light in the cabin shone on her soft, light purple hair, which was neat, elegant, and flawless, as beautiful as a silver ribbon cascading down from the sky.

Her fair, silky skin was smooth and dazzling, and her bright, beautiful eyes, reflecting her brother's face, were like shining stars in the sky, always attracting the attention of the men around her.

"Uh-huh?"

The boy gazed at the beautiful girl before him, watching her deftly retrieve his shirt from the wardrobe and bring back a hot towel. Listening to his younger sister's delicate voice, the boy's thoughts couldn't help but wander.

He wasn't distracted by the girl's pitiful expression as she gazed at him; rather, it was because he had a cold and fever, or perhaps because he felt different from usual, or perhaps because he had been soaked to the bone when they fell into the bathtub together not long ago, and the unicorn's thin dress couldn't conceal her delicate body, and he had recalled some things that shouldn't have been on his mind, that he suddenly realized the unicorn today was different from usual, and something seemed to have become more noticeable to him than before.

His gaze drifted over his younger sister's long, slender legs encased in pure white stockings. The boy pondered silently. The girl, who had finally managed to convince her brother to let her take care of him and wanted to prove that she wasn't a useless child and that she could do many things for her brother, gently raised her arm in front of him.

"Brother...please sit up, I want to help you rub your back..."
