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

Yi Xian's somewhat bitter voice carried on the evening breeze, but upon hearing her words, Wisconsin, standing beside her, frowned slightly in annoyance. Of course, she knew that Lexington, as the undisputed legal wife, had no reason to do so.

However, rather than whether Lexington would once again captivate the amnesiac admiral with her gentleness and charm as before, she was more concerned about the extent to which Lexington would go. No, rather, she was quite looking forward to seeing what Lexington would do to the admiral, because this would also affect her subsequent offensive towards him. If Lexington didn't get the admiral on board, she might have to be more careful, at least not stealing Lexington's thunder. But if Lexington successfully got the blockhead admiral on board, although she would feel a little jealous, it would mean she wouldn't have to worry so much.

"No, I think it's precisely because it's Lexington that we need to observe it more closely. Don't you want to do something to the Admiral, Yixian?"

Lifting her chest, Wisconsin gently pinched her smooth chin before answering Yixian's question. As a cunning and slightly forceful sister-in-law, passive waiting was never her thing. If it weren't for the fear of disrupting the balance, and the fact that Lexington, the legal wife, hadn't even boarded the ship yet, she felt she might have already devoured the admiral before her runaway older sister.

"I don't really care, and there's nothing wrong with learning how Lexington flirts with the Admiral. But Wisconsin, with that look on your face, are you up to something again? Forcing the Admiral might make Big Sister unhappy with you."

Missouri, who had a feeling that her younger sister was up to something again, was standing to the side gently applying lipstick to her lips when she looked at Wisconsin with her azure eyes. Even at night, Wisconsin was still wearing that flamboyant business suit.

As her sister, she could more or less guess what Wisconsin was thinking. However, as a sister herself, she had also had the same thought in her mind just now, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

"I don't think things are as simple as we think. Don't you think Lexington's behavior from yesterday afternoon until now has been a bit strange?"

The woman in the distance was still walking side by side with the boy, while behind Missouri and the other two, Washington, who seemed to be deep in thought, spoke softly to the three ship girl sisters in front of her. As the three of them turned their heads and looked at her, she slowly turned her gaze to the dormitory in the small building across the street, which was the only one with a light on besides the admiral's bedroom.

"What do you mean, Washington?"

"Don't you guys think Lexington is being a bit too hasty? Given Lexington's personality, she wouldn't do something so stimulating right now, before things have settled down. Besides... ever since she came back from the Admiral's dormitory yesterday afternoon, she's been a bit distracted. And at the celebration party last night, she was so enthusiastic towards that new Radiant Sister, even arranging for her to stay in the Admiral's dormitory building, just like she did with Akagi when she first received her ring..."

Like a sudden wake-up call, Missouri and the others frowned upon hearing Washington's words. They hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now they realized that something was definitely wrong.

Wisconsin pursed her lips slightly, her brows furrowed, and she raised her head, silently turning her gaze to the lit room in the small building across the street. The atmosphere became somewhat oppressive and silent. Listening to the whistling sea breeze in her ears, and watching Lexington lead the boy towards the back mountain, after a long while, she gently pinched the corners of her sore eyes.

"No matter what, there's no use thinking about these things now. The Admiral is back, but for us, he can only be considered truly back if Lexington still enters his heart as before."

........................

The light blue skirt swayed gently in the breeze, and under the moonlight, Lexington's snow-white and slender legs were faintly visible in the boy's eyes. His hand was held by Lexington's soft palm, and feeling the warmth and softness in her hand, the boy followed Lexington's footsteps and slowly walked towards the back mountain.

Every now and then, with a sweet smile, he would turn his head to look at his own face, gazing at Lexington's clean, fair ears and swan-like neck. The boy couldn't help but lower his eyes and gently touch his chest. He felt a slight tightness and a slight throbbing in his chest. Ever since he had seen Lexington's smile, which looked so poignant in the moonlight, he had been unable to calm his heart.

He had assumed that the gentle Lexington had accepted the existence of Radiance. He had assumed that Lexington, who had fulfilled his wish to be with Radiance, did not care about the relationship between Radiance and himself. He had also assumed that as his wife, she was gentle and magnanimous enough to tolerate everything. However, he was wrong, so wrong that he could not be more wrong. Because in that brief but unforgettable smile, he felt it, he felt the deep hesitation and unease in Lexington's heart.

Why didn't he realize it? Why couldn't he have realized it sooner? Just like the time he thought he was going to lose Radiance, just like the regret he felt when he broke Radiance's heart yesterday, he asked himself these questions. Looking at Lexington's gentle and beautiful profile, he felt a wave of annoyance and bit his lip hard.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Admiral? Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my neck?"

Sensing the gaze behind her, a gentle and beautiful smile returned to her face, as if nothing had happened. Turning around, she gazed into the boy's eyes with her azure gaze, and gently curved her crimson lips at the boy in front of her.

"It's nothing, Lexington. By the way, I haven't even had a chance to ask where you want to take me yet."

The boy gently shook his head at her, a hint of unspoken guilt and affection in his eyes. He gently squeezed the woman's fingers, which were still in his palm. Perhaps she had already guessed what the boy was going to say, she playfully winked her beautiful and gentle light blue eyes at him, as if keeping him in suspense. Then she gently moved aside, revealing her full and alluring body.

"We've arrived, Admiral! This sunflower patch was planted casually by us when we first came here five years ago. Back then, this place was still wasteland. Time is truly a magical magician, isn't it?"

Volume 1, Chapter 177: Sea of ​​Sunflowers

Before me lies a vast sunflower nursery, nestled against a small hill and facing the ocean, where countless vibrant sunflowers rest peacefully in this tranquil and beautiful place.

The golden petals exuded a touch of beauty and peace under the soft night sky. Although the flowers, which symbolized love and loyalty, did not seem as noble and beautiful as they were when facing the sun during the day, the silent yet intensely burning flower heads under the gentle moonlight gave the young man a burning sensation like a flame, silent yet surging undercurrent, just like the gaze of the woman beside him that was always watching him.

"This sunflower patch was planted casually by us when we first came here five years ago. Back then, this place was still a wasteland. Time is truly a magical magician, isn't it?"

The boy was amazed by the beauty and lushness of the flowerbed before him, but the woman who had been watching him was like a sunflower gazing at the sun. Lexington smiled and took the boy's hand, leading him into the dreamlike field of sunflowers.

The fragrance of flowers at night is not as strong as during the day, but walking along the quiet flower field path, the fiery aroma still easily enveloped the boy.

All around were flower paths taller than the boy himself. Walking in the flower field was like walking into a sea of ​​sunflowers. Listening to the rustling wind blowing through the leaves and the crisp chirping of insects hidden among the flowers and leaves, Lexington led him by the hand through the flower field to a small shed that was usually used for resting.

"How is it, Admiral? Isn't it beautiful here?"

The small pergola was perched on a small hill, offering a panoramic view of the vast flowerbeds and the distant, rippling ocean. Lexington, almost forcibly, pressed him onto a small bench, and listening to her gentle voice, she produced a glass of orange juice from somewhere and handed it to the boy.

"Hmm. Lexington, I never knew there was such a beautiful place on the island.

The boy nodded as he took the orange juice from Lexington, who had already inserted a straw for him. If he had hesitated a little before Lexington gave him that look, he was now glad that he had come with her, otherwise he would have really missed such a beautiful sight.

"Hehe~ I knew you would like this place. After all, we planted it together before, even though you just lazily watched from the sidelines."

Lexington pursed her lips slightly and sat down beside the boy, resting her shoulder on his chest, which gave her a sense of security and sweetness. She looked at the flowerbed at her feet, which was like a child to her and him, and then said softly to the boy, "Sunflower Sea... that's the name of the outfit I'm wearing. It's a gift you gave me when we planted this flowerbed."

“Although you don’t remember, this place holds our most precious memories for us. I once thought about building a small house here and living here with you… right here, facing the ocean and backed by a sea of ​​flowers. Every morning when I wake up, I can see not only your face but also this beautiful flower garden. Such a life would be very comfortable.”

"However, in the end I gave up on that idea, because you, Admiral, definitely can't live here with me. Everyone at the naval base needs you, and if I move here alone, I won't be able to take care of you personally."

Lexington's gentle words reached the boy's ears, making his heart itch slightly. He took a sip of delicious orange juice, suppressing the inexplicable flutter in his heart, and also looked up at the sea of ​​sunflowers in Lexington's eyes.

“After we bring Xiaorou back, let’s build a small house here, Lexington. Although we can’t live here forever, I can come and stay with you for a while whenever you want.”

"Huh? Really? Admiral?"

Hearing the boy's somewhat unexpected words, Lexington was both surprised and delighted. She looked at her beloved husband's face beside her, never expecting that her usually wooden admiral would suddenly say such a thing, leaving her momentarily speechless.

"Yes! Of course, Lexington, I wouldn't lie to you."

The boy nodded vigorously, but his resolute gaze made Lexington feel a surge of emotion. Her eyes stung slightly, and suppressing the feelings stirred by just a few words from the boy, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to the cheek of the man she loved so deeply.

Gently wiping away the trace of water that had accumulated at the corner of her eyes, she nestled beside the boy and lightly brushed aside a long strand of hair from her forehead.

"Thank you, Admiral. Hehe~ Just thinking about living with you in this beautiful flower garden makes me so happy. Waking up with you every morning and falling asleep beside you at night... And these flowers, they watch the sun every day, just like I watch you every day. But I'm much happier than them, because you're right here beside me~"

She whispered softly in the boy's ear, watching her husband's cheeks grow increasingly red. Lexington couldn't help but let out a charming and shy smile on her goddess-like face. Although she had found the long-lost Admiral yesterday, it wasn't until just now, until she felt the Admiral's affection for her again, that she, who had been anxious about the matter of Glory, finally felt truly at ease.

The precious diamond ring still shone brightly under the moonlight. She slowly stood up, looked at the watch on her fair wrist, and reached out to hold the young man's hand again. If she could, she could sit here with her beloved husband all night and reminisce about the good old days. But if she did that, wouldn't it be pointless to call the admiral out alone tonight?

"Admiral, there are a lot of mosquitoes here. Let's go for a walk on the beach. It's very comfortable to walk barefoot on the sand at night."

Volume 1, Chapter 178: Fate, Happiness, and Choice

The cool seawater washed over the silvery sand, erasing the traces left by the crabs.

Standing on the shore, smoothing her hair that was ruffled by the sea breeze, Lexington knelt down and reached out to help the boy roll up his fluffy trouser legs. She gently took off his shoes, which were covered with grass and debris, and held her own sandals in her hand. She smiled softly at the boy and then led him, whose eyes held a somewhat unreadable expression, onto the soft sand.

The fine sand rubbed against the soles of my feet and gently flowed through my toes, giving me a very comfortable and peaceful feeling.

He didn't know when it happened, but his fingers were intertwined with Lexington's, tightly connected. Feeling the soft and delicate touch from her fingertips, the boy walked slowly side by side with the woman beside him, her gentle touch like water, along the beach. He listened to Lexington talk about her past from time to time, and he felt like a frog being slowly boiled in water. The inexplicable throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious.

"Later... later, Jiajia disguised herself as me and fooled you. She secretly sneaked into our naval base and found me, saying she would rescue me from the clutches of the great demon admiral. However, I still don't quite understand. Although it was the admiral's first time meeting Jiajia, our hair colors were so different, and Jiajia's figure... so how did you not recognize her and get fooled by her?"

Like lovers deeply in love, they clung tightly to each other, and Lexington whispered in the boy's ear about the interesting things that had happened between them. When she talked about the first time Jaga came to the naval base, and how the admiral had been tricked by Jaga back then, she turned her head and pouted her lovely, glistening lips at the boy.

Even though her figure was clearly better than Jiajia's, the admiral couldn't recognize her after she wore the same clothes. This was quite a blow to the ship.

She blinked gently, like a little wife coaxing her beloved husband. Looking at the boy's face, which was also a little confused, her clear, ocean-blue eyes immediately narrowed into a pair of cute crescent moons.

She gently tightened her grip on the fingers intertwined with the boy's, as if she had never felt such happiness since birth. She softly said to the boy, "I've finished telling you about Jiajia's first visit to the naval base. Is there anything else the Admiral would like to know?"

"Hmm... then Lexington, tell me what kind of person I used to be. I want to know what kind of image I had in your minds back then."

The boy paused slightly, looking at Lexington's stunning profile. After thinking for a moment, he asked her a question. Since he had already decided not to disappoint them again, he should at least know how he had acted in the past. However, given his past gaming habits, he probably wouldn't have done much better.

"So, does the Admiral want to hear the truth or a lie?" The boy's tall figure was always reflected in her azure eyes. Seeing the boy's somewhat puzzled expression, Lexington smiled gently and tilted her head slightly towards him.

So, it turns out that images can be real or fake?

After hesitating for a moment, feeling that he was still not mentally prepared, the boy frowned and said to Lexington, "Well... let's listen to the fake one first."

"If it's false... the former admiral was a lecherous, impatient, clueless jerk who always said things that put everyone in a difficult position~"

She gently pursed her lips, watching the boy swallow hard, his expression a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, as if playing a prank. Lexington, her eyes brimming with laughter, answered him, softly stroking his cheek as he blushed at her words. Almost unable to contain the overflowing tenderness and love within her, she took his hand and placed three blue roses, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, into his palm.

"The former admiral was a big pervert. He liked breasts, butts, and legs. When he had nothing to do, he would always buy very revealing clothes for everyone and then make them shyly wear them and stand in front of you for your viewing pleasure. Sometimes, when some of the sisters were injured at sea, you wouldn't allow them to go into the dock. You would make them stay in the office in their tattered clothes and not let them go anywhere. Even I, as the secretary ship, was the same. You once made me wear a newly bought swimsuit to work for you in the admiral's office. Whenever a sister came to you for something, I was standing to the side, almost dying of embarrassment."

"Although you always make everyone blush and their hearts race, everyone is always happy when you come back, because we all know that such behavior is actually a manifestation of your affection and love. And... later on, when everyone realized that you, Admiral, were actually a lecherous scoundrel with lustful thoughts but no courage, everyone started to look forward to being harassed by you."

"The former admiral was very impatient and lacked tact. Whenever there was an important battle or deep-sea operation, you would always be the first to lead everyone into battle without consulting the naval base beforehand. If the battle encountered setbacks or difficult terrain, you would angrily question everyone upon returning, asking why they didn't attack the capital ships in the deep sea, but instead went to attack light cruisers and destroyers that posed little threat. But you didn't realize that at such a distance at sea, how could we clearly see whether the target was a capital ship, a light cruiser, or a destroyer..."

"Although your stubbornness always makes everyone feel wronged and hurt, we all know that the reason you are so anxious is actually for the sake of the residents living on the coast. Moreover, no matter how urgent the battle situation is or how scarce the resources are, if even one of the sisters in the squadron is injured during the battle, you will resolutely lead everyone to retreat back to port, even if it is just one more step forward, we can repel the deep sea and stop their offensive."

"Although the Admiral has many minor flaws, in our hearts, you will always be our Admiral, and the person we trust and admire most in this world. As for me, whether it was you in the past or you are now, no matter when or where, you will always be my husband and the person I love most."

"Admiral, do you remember what I said to you when we got married?"

The petals of the blue roses fluttered in the wind, and a pure white wedding dress replaced the previous dress in the dazzling light. The sea breeze blew through her holy and gorgeous flaxen hair. Holding a full bouquet of 12 blue roses, she slowly raised her head, and Lexington made the young man meet her eyes, which were full of love and tenderness like the sea.

Meeting you is my destiny in this life, falling in love with you is my happiness in this life, and protecting you is my choice in this life...

Her cherry-red lips parted slightly, and as the light of fireworks in the distant city of Tsugawa enveloped the boy's vision, he was stunned as he looked at Lexington, who was smiling beautifully and purely in a wedding dress.

Volume 1, Chapter 179: Your Wife

"Admiral, do you remember what I said to you when we got married?"

"...Meeting you is my destiny in this life, falling in love with you is my happiness in this life, and protecting you is my choice in this life..."

"!!…………"

The sounds of fireworks exploding, mixed with the somewhat noisy sea breeze and the devout and steadfast words of Lexington, entered the boy's ears one by one. Just as he had imagined, he felt as if he had sand blinding him. Looking at the "bride" who was smiling gently at him, the boy was stunned for a long time.

Those words, brimming with love and tenderness, were like an invincible battering ram, tearing apart the boy's defenses in an instant and imprinting the image of its owner deeply into his heart. Reflected in his eyes was Lexington, and the boy knew that, like Glorious, another inseparable bond had been added to his life.

The fireworks continued to glow. Holding the blue roses that symbolized fidelity and happiness, and satisfied with the boy's expression, Lexington, filled with doting affection and love that could overwhelm everything, tiptoed and wrapped her slender, smooth arms around the boy's unsuspecting neck.

Her soft breasts pressed against the boy's chest without any gap, her clear, sea-blue eyes gleaming with an unusual light. She softly murmured her husband's name, the one that intoxicated her heart, and gently pressed her cherry-blossom-colored lips against the boy's. Without any surprise or astonishment, as if they were meant to be one, their saliva and tongues intertwined seamlessly.

The blue butterflies danced gracefully for this scene, and for their owner's finally finding fulfillment in love. After a long while, their lips parted, and with a lingering, alluring look, Lexington licked her tempting red lips seductively. The silvery strands of saliva still clung to the corners of their mouths, a silent yet slightly lewd temptation.

"I love you, my admiral, my husband, my most beloved husband."

“I love you too, my wife.”

"Hehe, you're finally calling me 'wife' again~"

Their hearts were in sync, and they poured out their feelings to each other. For the first time, she received a response from the boy, and for the first time, she pressed her heart to his. It was also the first time she gave him a kiss that contained everything about her. Even when she became the admiral's wife, she had never felt as happy as she did now. Lexington kissed the boy's lips once again.

The fireworks in the distance were still shining, just as Lexington had known all along that there would be a fireworks show in Tsugawa's city center at 10 p.m., as punctual as if she had known all along. She thought to herself that everything was going smoothly as she had planned. As if she were addicted, she was intoxicated by the deep kiss with the boy, separating again and again, and then kissing again and again. Lexington, who was a little confused and infatuated, took her husband's hands in front of her and placed them on her breasts that had been longing for his caresses.

The bouquet of blue roses had fallen onto the beach at some point, getting a little wet with seawater. Her charming and beautiful face was so red that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Her nipples reacted at the slightest touch. Lexington breathed her gentle and sweet breath on the boy's face.

The moonlight faded, and even the continuous fireworks had ceased. Lexington, panting, had kissed her beloved husband repeatedly for an unknown amount of time, her rosy lips becoming slightly swollen. She nestled her cheek against his chest, which, though not imposing, was the largest, most reassuring, and happiest haven for her.

If there hadn't been a plan, if there hadn't been a pre-arranged intention to give the admiral what he had always wanted most, then this scene of the sky as a canopy and the beach as a bed, as their first time together, might have seemed incredibly happy and fulfilling.

As expected, calling the Admiral out tonight was the right choice. I'm definitely not inferior to Illustrious. But it's so good that the Admiral still likes me as much as before.

She sighed with relief that her husband was no longer the kind of man who would disappear without a trace whenever she wanted to do something. The image of herself as a heavily pregnant expectant mother, which had been echoing in her mind for a long time, resurfaced in Lexington's mind.

So happy she was practically bubbling with joy, she looked up at the boy's chin, which was pointing directly at her, and smiled sweetly. She gently wrapped her arms around the boy's waist and slowly shifted into a more comfortable position in his embrace.

However, just as the beautiful Mrs. Lek wanted to feel the reassuring warmth of her husband even more, while whispering sweet nothings to the young man, her snow-white, plump thigh suddenly bumped into a hard object.

She immediately understood what it was, and her beautiful body, which was ready to bear a life for her husband at any moment, suddenly went limp.

"Hmm~ Admiral, h~"

The soft, sweet, and reproachful voice, like a cloyingly sweet cotton candy, entered the ears of the boy with a tense face. He had never imagined that the gentle and noble Mrs. Lie could become so cute and cloying. In a daze, the boy felt a little more uncomfortable for no reason.

Knowing full well what a foolish thing he had done, the embarrassed boy turned his head and looked awkwardly at the distant sea in this otherwise beautiful atmosphere.

"I'm...sorry..."

The boy apologized awkwardly, and his slightly embarrassed and uneasy expression softened Lexington's heart for no reason when she saw it.

Gently releasing her husband's waist, she lifted the white hem of her beloved wedding dress, revealing her long, white, stockinged legs, and slowly squatted down.

Since it was I who caused my beloved admiral to become like this, then of course I have an obligation to calm him down. Besides, doesn't the fact that the admiral has become like this prove that I am still very charming in front of the admiral?

With a look of doting affection, she winked playfully at the boy who was staring at her blankly, her expression a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, as if she were performing some sacred task. She slowly reached out and unzipped an unknown zipper on the boy's pants.

………………
