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

Perhaps the reason they said they were already married was because their wives and Jiajia were tired of being pursued by countless suitors, so they deliberately released this smokescreen to confuse everyone?

Maybe one day I'll really have the chance to become that lucky one, to be favored by the real Lexington and Saratoga, and to become their admiral?

Just like the addictive poison of the poppy, even he and his cheap father had always had such "unrealistic" fantasies. But when Saratoga, whom he called his sister-in-law, actually appeared in front of him, the bloody reality almost brought him to tears.

Oh no! It's absolutely tragic! It's heartbreaking! Not only have the wife and sister-in-law already become someone else's wives, but their husbands are actually their own companions!

What kind of trainee admiral are you?! Is there any way a trainee admiral can act like this?! Are you even human or a seal?! If that were all, fine! But why did you have to humiliate me in front of me?!

"Ah, Qin Hanwen, you've created a new ship girl? Congratulations!"

Suppressing his intense grief, he wiped away his blood and tears from Africa, and looking at the boy's previously kind and gentle expression, which now seemed utterly detestable, he howled and screamed at the boy.

"Get lost!! You stinky seal! I don't want your congratulations! Stay away from me! Don't come near me! I don't have a brother like you!"

"And another thing! Just how many ship girls do you have?!"

Okay, the Qin Hanwen was badly damaged and sank.

As if hearing a non-existent sound of heartbreak in the air, the young man, somewhat embarrassed and ashamed, scratched the back of his head as his sister-in-law forcibly pulled him to Qin's side.

"Ahem, calm down, calm down, Comrade Qin. Haven't I already explained the specific reasons to you? Before enrolling, I didn't know that I had actually been an admiral before. My amnesia wasn't something I wanted. Besides, if you hadn't stopped me at noon and insisted on telling me about your trip to Dajian, you wouldn't have known any of this."

"No! You traitor! I don't want to hear any of this! You stinking seal! Tell me! Besides Illustrious, Lexington, and Saratoga! How many ship girls do you have?!"

"…………"

"What's wrong?! Why aren't you saying anything?!"

"It's nothing, I was just worried you wouldn't be able to handle it... Ah! I think I heard my wife calling me home for dinner! Well then, I'll be going now, Comrade Qin! Oh, and don't forget what I told you, remember to keep it a secret."

"Hey! Don't run away! You stinky seal! You haven't answered my question yet!"

"Houston! My spear! My poisoned spear! Give it to me now! I'm going to take this stinking seal down with me!"

Volume 1, Chapter 203: Under the Streetlight

The pitiful cries of the Africans were still vivid in her mind. With a refreshing evening breeze blowing, she passed through the naval academy where the streetlights had already been turned on, and with her cheerful and lovely sister-in-law by her side, Su Yuchen finally returned to the naval base where her wife and Guanghui were before dinner.

The stars in the sky emitted a faint glow, and only countless construction machines remained on the dock that was still under repair. The workers had already finished work and returned home to have a nice dinner with their families.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, did you secretly read my sister's diary?"

"No, peeking into someone else's diary is wrong, and even if I did, I wouldn't remember it now."

"Next time, let's sneak a peek at my sister's diary together, brother-in-law! My sister never lets me touch her diary. Once I tried to peek, she caught me and gave me a good beating! But if it's you, brother-in-law, she definitely won't punish you. After you've read it, come back and tell me what she wrote in her diary!"

"Oh? That's not a good idea. Lexington might get angry."

"Please, brother-in-law! I'm really curious about what my sister writes every day! She's always so mysterious, hunched over the table copying and writing, and she won't let anyone see it. It's so intriguing!"

In the nearby dormitory area, many rooms had already turned on their lights. However, compared to the beautiful and charming figures of our ship girls that could be seen everywhere during the daytime at noon, the vast port area still seemed a bit quiet at night.

Thinking that the naval base would become even more lively once his ship girls returned one after another, the boy held Jiajia's hand and chatted with her as they walked. Under the streetlight at the corner of the dormitory area, the boy saw Phelps, wearing a light-colored dress, standing prettily by the telephone pole, waiting for something.

"Ah, welcome back, Admiral and Saratoga."

A gentle evening breeze rustled the girl's skirt. Hearing the footsteps of Kaka and the boy, the girl, who was standing alone, immediately looked with her azure eyes at the boy who had just brought Kaka back to the port.

A pure and beautiful face revealed a lovely smile of surprise, as endearing as an elf in a fairy tale. Phelps immediately ran over to the boy.

"Yes, I'm back, Phelps."

The girl's lithe figure was faintly visible under the dim light of the streetlamp. The clean sleeves and the hazy tulle of her skirt carried a hint of allure and beauty, making the boy unable to resist reaching out and gently touching the soft hair on the girl's head.

He had actually planned to take Phelps out for a stroll around noon, but Lexington seemed to need Phelps to stay at the naval base to help her with some things, so in the end he only took Gaja out.

"Why are you here all alone? Are there other people in Lexington?"

The boy's touch made the little girl look like a cat, showing a very comfortable expression. However, upon hearing the boy's question, Phelps suddenly grabbed the boy's wrist, which was carrying the bag of gifts he had bought for his ship girls, as if he had remembered something.

"Sister Lexington is in your dormitory, Admiral. Sister Glorious and everyone else have finished dinner and gone back to their own dormitories. Sister Lexington asked me to wait for you here. It seems she has something urgent to discuss with Sister Jiajia."

"Sister Jiajia, hurry up and go to the Admiral's dormitory. Sister Lexington has been waiting for you for quite a while."

The girl's soft palm grasped the boy's wrist, and she gently explained to him why she was there. She turned slightly to Saratoga and spoke slowly, her inexplicable gaze quickly glancing at Saratoga's eyes, as if exchanging some kind of secret signal. Seeing Saratoga's face, which was vaguely showing a hint of impatience, she blinked her eyes quickly and imperceptibly.

"Ah! Is it my sister looking for me? I'll go right now!"

The silent exchange lasted only a moment. Before Phelps could finish speaking, and before the boy could even recover from his shock, Jiajia quickly turned around and ran towards the dormitory building that was now almost within reach.

"Don't rush, wait for us together, Jiajia. Sigh... this girl, let's go, Phelps, you probably haven't had dinner yet either, let's go to my dorm and have dinner together."

Seeing the girl's back suddenly become excited for some reason, the boy reached out to call her to come with him and Phelps. But before he could prepare to take the pitiful girl beside him back to his residence, Phelps tugged at his sleeve forcefully.

"I...I've already had dinner, Admiral. Um...I have something I want to talk to you about, so...could you keep me company for a while?"

The girl's voice was somewhat low, and hearing the soft voice mixed with the sound of waves, the boy turned his head to look at the delicate face under the girl's light-colored hair. With his hand freed from Jiajia's departure, he slowly took the girl's palm. Facing this cute girl who was like a younger sister, he nodded vigorously.

"Of course, Phelps, I also have something I want to say to you."

The boy's words surprised the girl, who was feeling down for some reason, and she looked up in surprise. But when she looked up, she suddenly saw the admiral in front of her searching for something in the bag in his hand.

The sound of rummaging through things rang out for a while, but not long after, Su Yuchen, with a smile on his face, slowly straightened up. He looked at the somewhat confused Phelps in front of him, and then chuckled as he extended his palm.

"Give me your hand, Phelps, and close your eyes."

Although she didn't know what her admiral was planning to do, the beautiful girl obediently placed her arm in the boy's hand and closed her eyes. She felt the boy's fingertips gently brushing against the skin on the back of her hand, and then she felt something pass through her fingers and loop around her slender wrist. Then she heard the boy's voice saying that she could open her eyes.

"You can open your eyes now, Phelps. This is a gift for you. How is it? Do you like it?"

Volume 1, Chapter 204: The Bad Kid

"You can open your eyes now, Phelps. This is a gift for you. How is it? Do you like it?"

The boy's gentle voice rang in her ears, causing the little girl to slowly open her light blue eyes. Her slender arm was still held in her admiral's hand. She gently lowered her head and looked at her fair and delicate wrist under the streetlight.

It was a beautiful bracelet. Looking at its silvery-white exterior and the cool metallic texture, the little girl knew what it was wearing on her wrist. Several sparkling diamonds were quietly set on the silver bracelet. Although they weren't real diamonds, their radiant light still made the whole bracelet look very beautiful and dazzling.

The cool bracelet pressed intimately against the skin of her wrist, causing the young girl to open her clear and beautiful eyes wide in an instant.

She looked up at the boy's face, so close to hers, a face that had always stirred her heart. She felt a slight itch in the corner of her eye, and gently parted her lips, saying to the smiling boy, "Yes! I like it very much! Thank you, Admiral!"

"Really? I'm glad you like it. I was worried you might not like the style when I bought it, although I think it suits Phelps' gentle personality quite well."

"No, I'll like anything the Admiral gives me, no matter what it is."

The boy released the girl's wrist, and as the cool breeze of the moonlit night blew, the girl gently hugged the wrist with the bracelet she wore.

The slightly cool touch against her chest felt warm and reassuring, like the hand of her own admiral. With a little feeling, she felt her heart, which was happy for Lexington and Gaga, but confused and self-pitying about her unknown future and when her feelings would finally blossom, gradually calm down.

Come to think of it, this is the first time the admiral has ever given her a gift. The girl quietly raised her head and glanced at the boy's face, which was somewhat hazy in the dim streetlights and moonlight.

Lexington has finally made up her mind to get married to the Admiral tonight. To help her dear sister and beloved Admiral, she has prepared a lot. But looking back, Lexington's feelings are finally going to be reciprocated, but what about herself?

She was still all alone. Although the admiral was very kind to her, just like before, as a ship girl, she could clearly feel the vast distance between her heart and his.

Lexington is my favorite older sister. Seeing that she and the Admiral have finally reached that point, I should be happy for her, right? After all, haven't I always been looking forward to seeing this day? I don't want to see Lexington secretly shedding tears alone in the middle of the night anymore.

But why? Why does my heart still ache? Is it that I'm broken? Or...?

I'm sorry... Sister Lexington, Phelps is a bad boy. Although she has always supported you, she is still a little envious and jealous of the intimacy between you and the Admiral, and the deep bond between you...

Admiral, are you aware that besides Lexington, there's another little ship girl constantly worrying about you and longing for you? She dreamt of becoming your wife and your wedding ship, and she was once arrogant and resentful because of your slowness and obliviousness. Just as she said, everything about her changed only for you…

She still remembers the surprised and gentle smile on your face when she first arrived at the port. It was as if it were destiny, and she became your ship girl without hesitation.

Life in the port is wonderful. Ever since she joined the port, she has been waiting, hoping that you, who are slow to understand, will finally be able to understand her feelings. For this, she waited and waited, for a very long time, until Admiral, you had many more married ship sisters, until she learned how to be a gentle and virtuous girl and wife for you, until her efforts finally gained your attention.

Admiral, you suddenly disappeared from her sight and from her world that very night.

She was very sad and desperate. During those dark days, she even thought about drowning herself and going to another world to be with her admiral, because in a world without her admiral, her existence had lost all meaning.

Fortunately, before she could hold on any longer, the admiral finally returned, back to her, back to her little world where she only had herself and her admiral.

Just like when she first met you, when she first realized her heart no longer belonged to her, she was so excited to see you back. She was so excited she wanted to jump up and spin around, so excited she had a thousand words to say to you, so excited she wanted to hug your cheeks, gently touch your ears, and then, with tears in her eyes, whisper in your ear how happy she was and how important you were to her…

She didn't understand liking or loving you before, so she was too shy to tell you about her increasingly restless heart. Now she understands, as if she has a bar of affection that's already overflowing, ready to burst at any moment. She understands, as if the red heart in her chest has never stopped beating and swaying for you, visible to the naked eye. But now that she understands, she can't say it anymore, because the distance between you has become so vast, because you've lost your memory, you don't remember anything you experienced together.

The relationship between the admiral and the ship girl is inherently unfair, but there's nothing she can do. She can't cry because that would make you worry and feel confused, so she has to put on a smile for you.

However, Admiral, did you know that she, Phelps, is not as well-behaved as you imagine? She is actually a bad girl, Admiral.

Your departure and return made her realize something, something very, very important: she didn't want your bracelet, nor did she want your kind, brotherly affection. All she wanted was your wedding ring, all she wanted was your love, and all she wanted was to be by your side forever, to give you all her love and everything she had...

Volume 1, Chapter 205: The Elf

The love of ship girls is always so deep, like the unfathomable sea, enough to swallow and encompass everything. The love of ship girls is also always so selfish, because in that boundless tenderness and attachment like the ocean, there can only ever be a small boat called their admiral.

The moonlight remained bright, as pure and alluring as the wedding dress on the lady. After speaking with Phelps at the edge of the dormitory area, the young man, carrying his still-full bag of jewelry, casually turned into his three-story dormitory building.

Although he asked the young girl if she wanted to come to his dormitory to play for a while, Phelps shook her head and did not come with him. She just stood outside the dormitory area and chatted with him for a while before going back to her dormitory alone. He remembered that when she grabbed him, she said that she seemed to have something to tell him, but in the end, she did not say anything to him.

The lights in the hallway were much brighter than the streetlights outside. Illuminated by the incandescent bulbs, the boy looked at his dormitory room, which was lit up not far away. As he passed a room not far from his own, the boy paused slightly.

That was Glorious's room. Because Lexington knew about her relationship with Glorious, she thoughtfully arranged for Glorious's bedroom to be located not far from her own dormitory.

The room lights weren't on. I just asked Phelps, and she said that after dinner, she went to Yixian's dorm to learn how to brew a good cup of black tea and exchange cooking tips.

I remember when we were having lunch together at the restaurant, Guanghui kept staring at me in a daze. Maybe it was because I hadn't had much time to spend with her these past few days that she felt a little lonely.

Facing the gold-plated nameplate on the door bearing Glorious's name, the boy shook his head slightly with a hint of helplessness. He could understand Glorious's thoughts. After all, the time they could spend together every day had suddenly turned into this... But there was really nothing he could do about it. After all, who would have known that he would suddenly become a powerful admiral with so many ship girls and such a large naval base?

Before I can adapt to my new identity and get the naval base back on track, I'm afraid I'll have to put up with her for now. As an admiral, I should treat all the ship girls equally. When I go back with Lexington and Illustrious to pick up Xiaorou, I'll spend more time with her on the ship and try to make it up to her.

Gently rubbing his chin, the young man looked down at the pair of four-leaf clover-shaped earrings he had specially bought for Guanghui. He had originally wanted to give the gift to Guanghui now to surprise her, but since Guanghui had gone to find Yixian, he would have to wait until tomorrow. However, speaking of surprises, Phelps seemed to have been urging him to hurry back to the dormitory, saying that his wife seemed to have some surprise for him.

A surprise... a delicious dinner? Or perhaps, like last night, I'd fall asleep with my head on her lap? But given Lexington's personality, these shouldn't really be considered surprises... Could it be?! ...No! Impossible, Jiajia is still here. How could Madam do such a thing? Sure enough, I've started to become lewd lately. Is it because Guanghui and Madam have been too indulgent with me?

The boy tilted his head and began to guess what the so-called surprise was. He inadvertently came to the door with a sign bearing his name and hearts painted in different styles with various colors of paint. He raised his arm and gently knocked on the door.

"Ah, Jiajia, your brother-in-law is already back. Hurry up, aren't you dressed yet?"

"I'm all dressed up, sister, but this wedding dress feels so complicated and troublesome to wear. The skirt is too long. It's not as convenient as my own wedding dress at all."

"You silly girl, where's your headdress? Where did you put it? If you hadn't kept saying that the wedding dress your brother-in-law gave you was a bridesmaid dress, and had just worn it obediently, none of this would have happened."

“But sister, I also want to show my best side to my brother-in-law. If I stand next to you in that wedding dress, I feel like I’ll just become your bridesmaid.”

"Sigh... I really can't do anything with you, girl. Alright, hurry up and put on your high heels and come with me, don't keep your brother-in-law waiting outside."

"Okay, sister, I'll be right there. Hehe, I wonder what kind of surprised and delighted expression my brother-in-law will have when he opens the door and sees the two of us beautiful brides gently welcoming him?"

"Stop being so vain, come over here quickly, Jiajia."

A gentle knock sounded at the door, and the young man stood outside waiting for his wife, who had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to return. However, after waiting for a while, he still did not hear his wife's gentle and sweet voice from the other side of the door. He carefully pricked up his ears and only heard a rustling sound, as if someone was putting on clothes, and a vague voice from his wife and Jiajia, as if they were talking about something.

Worried that his knocking might have been too soft for his wife and the others to hear, he raised his hand to knock twice more, and called out to the inside, "Wife, Jiajia, I'm home." But before he could even make a move, the door to his living room was suddenly opened from the inside.

"Welcome home, dear. You must be exhausted after playing outside with Jiajia all afternoon. Dinner is ready. If you're hungry, you can eat now."

"Brother-in-law... cough, no... darling, you've worked so hard. If you're tired, you can take a hot shower first. Jiajia will go and run a hot shower for you right away."

The next second, two distinctly different fragrant breezes gently blew past the boy. Hearing two soft voices filled with tenderness and affection, and looking at the two brides who suddenly appeared in front of him, who were like fairies or elves from a fairy tale, and seeing their shy yet charming smiles under their pure and beautiful wedding dresses, the boy's eyes widened in astonishment.

Volume 1, Chapter 206: The Necklace

Under the soft light in the living room, the lady in her pure white wedding dress looked like a fairy from a myth, ethereal and dreamlike.

A snow-white wedding dress tightly hugged her full breasts and her slender waist, which seemed impossible to grasp. She stood on tiptoe, her long legs clad in white high heels and white stockings, and gently lifted the gorgeous skirt. Her flawless face was flushed with a charming blush, and she gazed quietly at the boy with her deep blue eyes that seemed to hold the tenderness of the sea. Lexington appeared before the boy like that all of a sudden.

A delicate fragrance wafted in. Compared to the wife, who was as pure and innocent as a fairy, Jiajia, standing beside her, wore a black wedding dress as dark as the night. Yet, facing the captivating Lexington, the young girl's beauty and affection were in no way inferior to her goddess-like older sister.

Black round-toe high heels, warm black stockings that reveal a hint of a girl's skin, rounded buttocks and breasts, and a girl's fiery, infatuated gaze—she's like a fairy in the dark, captivating anyone with her charm at first glance.

The gentle, affectionate voices of his wife and Jiajia still echoed in his ears, but when he saw the two stunning brides who had suddenly appeared in front of him, the young man, who had never imagined that he would have the honor of witnessing such a mesmerizing scene, immediately widened his eyes.
