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

Suddenly, she sighed, feeling her eyelids and body growing heavier, and the little girl slowly closed her eyes.

Volume 1, Chapter 221: Random Thoughts

The alarm clock by the bedside kept ringing, and the birdsong outside the window was as melodious and pleasant as ever. But listening to those unique sounds that could only be heard in the morning, a little girl with a face and hair color similar to Lexington's opened her light blue eyes in a daze while lying on the pink bed.

The neatly folded bedding was still neatly arranged at the foot of the bed. Putting down the men's clothing that she had always used as a pillow and sleep aid, Phelps gently rubbed her still slightly tired eyes.

The clock on her bedside table had already struck seven. Normally, she would have gotten up by now and gone to help her sister Lexington or Yixian make breakfast for the sisters at the naval base.

However, because her mental state was really strange last night, after talking with the Admiral under the streetlight, receiving the Admiral's gift, and helping Sister Lexington hold off the Admiral so that Sister Jiajia would have time to change into her wedding dress, she returned to her dormitory. Not long after, she lay down on the bed, exhausted, and started to think wildly. When she came to her senses, she had already fallen asleep and hadn't even covered herself with the blanket while lying in bed.

She sighed softly, not knowing why she had become like this. She touched the pretty bracelet on her right wrist with great care, and then the little girl gently sat up.

Although as a ship girl, not sleeping for several days and nights in a row would not affect her daily behavior or state, even though she went to bed earlier than usual last night and woke up later than usual this morning, she still felt a strong sense of fatigue lingering in her body.

Perhaps it's not the body that's tired, but the mind that's weary.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror on the bedside table, where he appeared somewhat unwell, Phelps gently touched his smooth but pale face.

Despite telling herself not to worry, the relationship between Lexington and the Admiral was a natural progression. After all, Lexington loved the Admiral so much, and as long as she continued to work hard, just like before, the Admiral would definitely fall in love with her again.

But no matter how much he tried to comfort himself, lying in bed tossing and turning, all he could think about was the image of the admiral embracing Lexington and Jaja in bed, along with a sense of unease and a slight jealousy that made him feel like he was going crazy.

Why didn't you take me with you? Why did Lexington only bring Jaja along? Don't I love the Admiral just as much as Jaja?

She dared not think that way, after all, being favored by the Admiral was a privilege reserved for married ships. Sister Lexington and Sister Gaga were both married ships of the Admiral, while she was not.

But whenever she thought that the Admiral should be gently pampering Lexington and Gaga in their wedding dresses on a soft bed, these painful and self-reproachful questions would involuntarily cross her mind.

She slowly reached out and touched her slightly damp underwear. After hesitating for a moment, she gently pulled it off her long legs and placed it on the side of the bed.

The more she thought about the Admiral, the more uneasy she became. The more she thought about what would happen next, the more anxious and self-reproachful she felt. Last night, lying in her bed, she hugged the shirt that once belonged to the Admiral but had now become her talisman. Just like countless nights before when she missed the Admiral, to dispel that anxiety, she called the Admiral's name and imagined him by her side, comforting her heart and body.

Even as she thought of the admiral's face, and in her daze she seemed to call out "Daddy" a few times, which made her blush, the slight sense of security she used to feel never returned. Only loneliness and exhaustion made her fall into a deep sleep on her bed.

He pressed the alarm clock hard, stopping the noise that was giving him a headache. Phelps gently sniffed the scent on his shirt, then carefully folded it and placed it under his pillow.

Because I used to hold it to sleep every night, it no longer smelled of the Admiral, but only the scent of the bath soap I always used. But maybe it was just psychological, I would have insomnia if I didn't hold it to sleep every night, and if I didn't smell it when I woke up in the morning, I would feel like something was missing and feel restless all day.

The girl took out clean white panties from the bedside table drawer and a washed beige dress from the wardrobe. Then she got up and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Even if I'm not feeling well, I still need to do a good job of cleaning. I sweated a lot in bed last night, and I don't want the admiral to think I'm a bad kid who doesn't like to clean.

After carefully washing up and drying her long hair with a hairdryer, she tied the blue bow she always wore on top of her head. She looked closely at herself in the mirror and saw that apart from looking a little tired, everything else about her was the same as usual. Then, the girl opened the door and left her dormitory, preparing to go to her admiral's dormitory to make him a breakfast he was good at.

Although I envy Lexington and the Admiral for having a new relationship now, and I'm worried that it might disturb them, plus I don't really want to see that kind of scene, it was Lexington's first time last night, and getting up now would be a bit inconvenient.

To ensure the Admiral doesn't go hungry, and without forcing herself, she still has to make breakfast for them... After all, if it were the Admiral's little Fei, that Fei'er, she would definitely do the same.

The morning sun was still a bit too bright. The girl tucked the bracelet on her wrist under her sleeve to shield it from dust, and walked step by step to the ground floor of the small dormitory building where the boy lived.

But after greeting the Atlanta sisters, who had just woken up and were playing around with Juno, she saw a beautiful woman with a head of gorgeous, smooth white hair standing in front of the door of her admiral's dormitory, hesitating whether to open the door and go in.

Gently caressing her full body beneath her white dress, Glorious, who had gotten up early, hesitated. Last night, she clearly saw Sister Lexington and Teacher Sarah enter the Admiral's dormitory and never come out again.

She wasn't some clueless child. Thinking about how Sister Lexington and Teacher Sara were both Admiral's married ships, just like her, and that they loved him just as much as she did, she vaguely guessed what had happened last night.

The slight jealousy in her heart wasn't important, because she had already accepted the fact that the Admiral had more than one married ship. However, thinking about how the Admiral hadn't been very affectionate with her these past two days, she felt a little worried and couldn't contain herself. Yesterday afternoon, she finally had some free time to go see the Admiral, but he went out with Teacher Sara and didn't return until very late. And then, Sister Lexington beat her to it that night.

In any case, such a situation was too unbearable for a royal lady whose heart was only for her beloved husband. It would be fine for a day or two, but she couldn't stand it for long. So, after getting up early in the morning, she wanted to make a delicious breakfast for the admiral and "incidentally" have a good chat and be affectionate with him.

She had originally planned to do that, but then she thought again that Lexington had finally managed to see the Admiral who had been missing for so long, and it might not be right for her to bother him now. So, she stood in front of the Admiral's dormitory for a long time, hesitating.

"Should we go in? The Admiral probably hasn't gotten up yet, and Sister Lexington is here too, so he shouldn't need me to make him breakfast... But if we don't go in now, the Admiral will have to go to the academy for his studies later, and I'll have to go to Princeton to learn about air warfare, so I won't have time..."

Twisting the tips of her silvery-white hair, Guanghui hesitated and struggled with her thoughts. Suddenly, she heard a rather melodious girl's voice behind her calling her name with some surprise.

"Radiant Sister?"

"Ah...it's Phelps' sister. Good morning, Phelps' sister."

She turned around and saw a delicate figure that looked very much like her sister Lexington. Gently, she smiled and greeted Phelps, who had just arrived.

Volume 1, Chapter 222: Sorrow

"Ah...it's Phelps' sister. Good morning, Phelps' sister."

"........."

She had just woken up tiredly from a dream, and had just planned to make breakfast for the Admiral and Sister Lexington, but she had just encountered the elegant and beautiful Sister Glorious in front of the Admiral's dormitory. Looking at Glorious, who had heard her voice and cheerfully turned around to greet her, the little girl unconsciously clenched her pink fists, which were resting on the hem of her skirt, in the bright hallway.

"Good morning... Good morning, Glorious Sister, what are you doing here?"

The lovely face froze slightly. Seeing the beautiful radiance give her a gentle, pretty smile, Phelps forced a stiff smile and then responded to the silver figure in front of her.

Her gentle voice was still as beautiful as ever, but upon closer inspection, one could detect a slight, almost imperceptible tremor. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the beautiful figure before her, who was also greeting Radiance. Phelps felt as if she were facing not the kind and gentle Radiance, but a towering mountain that seemed to press down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She certainly didn't know why she had this feeling, because even though they were new, unfamiliar sisters, since joining the naval base, Glorious Sister had always been kind and friendly to us, just like Lexington Sister, making it impossible for us to feel any ill will towards her.

She knew it, but every time she saw the elegant, noble-like Radiant Sister, her chest would feel like it was being squeezed and she would feel uncomfortable. And after learning about Lexington Sister's plans last night, this feeling became even more pronounced.

Was it because I was jealous of Illustrious? Envious that she became the Admiral's marriage ship so soon after joining the naval base? Or... was I just giving up on myself?

She placed her fingers on her pounding chest and asked herself the same question. But facing Radiance, she didn't intend to delve into it. Her chaotic mind and spirit prevented her from thinking deeply. At this moment, she only hoped that Radiance's purpose in standing in front of the Admiral's dormitory was not the same as hers.

"Hmm? Oh! I was just about to make breakfast for the Admiral, but I wasn't sure if he had it yet, so I was hesitating whether to go in or not, hehe... And you, Phelps? By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Want to come together..."

Phelps's unusual behavior did not affect Glorious, who was hesitating whether to go in and make a delicious breakfast for her admiral. Naturally, she did not notice that Phelps's face suddenly turned even paler after hearing her answer. She simply smiled, elegantly placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and spoke to the little girl as if stating a fact.

The morning wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. The Admiral was too busy with affairs since returning to the naval base to come see her, but she could still go to him. Having just become his wife, even if time was limited and they couldn't do anything as passionate as they did in the academy dormitory first thing in the morning, she could still confide her feelings to him!

Glorious quietly touched the faint mark on her ring finger. Thinking of the Admiral's face, she couldn't help but smile and purse her cherry-colored lips. However, upon hearing Glorious's words, which carried a hint of joy, Phelps's delicate brows furrowed even deeper.

The girl's already troubled mood became even more chaotic. Unlike her sister Lexington, who could handle all the naval affairs for the admiral, or her sisters Missouri and Wisconsin, who were powerful, all she could do were small things like making breakfast for the admiral and taking care of his daily life. And now, the admiral, who didn't really need her own help because of Lexington's care, had gained another equally gentle and considerate sister, Illustrious.

She didn't blame Illustrious, because Illustrious had arrived earlier than her, and she was also the Admiral's married ship. But if things continued like this, she was only worried that her existence would be replaced, and that she, who couldn't help the Admiral much anyway, would be gradually forgotten by him.

Of course, the admiral wasn't that kind of person, because even when he was weaker in the past, the admiral hadn't forgotten him. But that didn't change his doubts and worries. Since what he wanted wasn't the admiral's tenderness, but his love, he had to make the admiral notice him and realize that he had been working silently for him all along.

"No need... Hmm, is Glorious Sister going to make breakfast for the Admiral? I'll join in too."

The disappointed girl wanted to refuse, but after looking at the door behind Glorious with the Admiral's nameplate hanging on it, she hesitated and nodded. Rather than going back and being confused and not knowing what to do, she would rather stay here and look at the Admiral to make her feel more at ease.

“I see. Then Phelps can come to my dorm with you. The Admiral might not be up yet, uh… Lexington might be inside too… so let’s bring it over to them when it’s ready.”

Glorious nodded. Anyway, she had already planned to give up. Her sister Lexington was probably still resting with the Admiral, so she couldn't disturb her at this time. As for being intimate with the Admiral, there were other opportunities. She could wait and see.

"Ah."

Phelps nodded and followed Guanghui to Guanghui's dormitory, which was separated by only one wall. She looked up at the brand-new nameplate on the door with Guanghui's name on it, but suddenly heard a familiar set of footsteps. She quickly turned around and looked back with Guanghui, who had just opened her own dormitory door. She saw Su Yuchen, who had just returned to her dormitory after her morning run.

"Oh, Glorious, and Phelps? Good morning, what are you doing?"

"Admiral? Oh, you're already up. Did you just finish your morning run? You must be exhausted. My sister Phelps and I were just about to make you breakfast. You probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Oh! By the way, you've sweated so much, would you like to take a shower first? I'll go and run a hot water bath for you right away."

Looking at the boy with a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead, Guanghui, who had just turned around, gave her husband a beautiful smile. She gently took out a clean white handkerchief from her pocket, and gracefully went to the boy's side, took his hand, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Yeah, I just got back from my morning run. I've been saying I wanted to exercise more, and since I had the chance, I got up and went for a few laps."

The radiant figure before him exuded a delicate fragrance, and looking at the two large, irresistible breasts swaying with her movements, along with her bright blue eyes, the somewhat flushed boy suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason.

He listened to her words with a smile. He wanted to tell her that it wasn't necessary and that he would go back to the dormitory to wash up later. But when he raised his arm, he found that his cuff was being firmly held in the hand of Phelps beside him.

Volume 1, Chapter 223: Breakfast

The girl's soft fingertips gripped her sleeve tightly, just like the time when she had shown her around the naval base.

The somewhat surprised boy couldn't help but look down at Phelps' beautiful yet gentle face beside him. Seeing the slight weariness in her expression, he frowned slightly, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He waved his hand gently, telling Guanghui that there was no need to go through the trouble of wiping his sweat anymore. He slowly raised his arm and gently stroked the girl's light-colored hair.

"Is Phelps also coming to make me breakfast? Thank you so much. But since I've unusually gotten up this early, why don't I make breakfast for you guys? You and Glorious probably haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

The boy spoke slowly. Although the girl in front of him did not show the same bewildered expression as before, he couldn't help but feel worried just by looking at her shy face and those beautiful eyes that seemed to hold all sorts of emotions.

Paying attention to the mental state of your ship girls and providing guidance when problems arise is a very important responsibility and obligation in the admiral's mission manual. Since I originally planned to make breakfast for my wife and Jiajia who are still resting, I might as well make breakfast for Illustrious and Phelps as well.

"Huh? Is the Admiral making breakfast?"

The little girl opened her mouth in surprise. After seeing the admiral returning from his morning run, she subconsciously grabbed his sleeve. However, looking at the fleeting look of worry on the admiral's face, it seemed that he had misunderstood her.

However, none of that matters. What matters is that the Admiral is actually making breakfast for himself and Illustrious? I always thought that with Lexington taking such good care of him, he couldn't possibly cook...

"Of course, I did hone my cooking skills during the year I was missing. After all, Xiaorou doesn't have time to make breakfast for herself every day. Well, of course, my breakfasts are definitely not as good as yours. I'm just a beginner, so I'm afraid you'll find them lacking."

"How could that be?! I will definitely eat every last drop of the breakfast the Admiral made!"

"Really? That's good, hehe. But if there's anything you don't like, remember to tell me so I can make improvements."

The boy smiled and nodded at Phelps, while Glorious, watching his admiral with that smile, gently pursed his pink lips.

Of course she knew that the Admiral could cook. Not to mention the day she first met the Admiral, he took the initiative to take on the task of cooking dinner. During lunch and dinner, he would often come to the kitchen to help her. However, perhaps because she was too diligent and didn't want to see the Admiral work hard, she still hadn't had the chance to taste the breakfast made by the Admiral himself.

"Guanghui, do you have any ingredients in the kitchen? Let's make breakfast in your dorm. My dorm... cough... it's a bit inconvenient right now..."

The admiral's questioning gaze fell upon him, but as he spoke, he looked away somewhat guiltily. Of course, he understood why. Just like Phelps' sister on the other side, with a sweet smile on her beautiful face, she subtly took the boy's hand, which gave her warmth and sweetness.

But Lexington is still in your bedroom, Admiral. Why are you looking away so guiltily? Sigh... Didn't I already tell you not to worry about me and Lexington? You're such a worrywart, Admiral.

"Yes, Admiral. Of course I've prepared all the ingredients, because you never know when you might suddenly want to eat my cooking."

Glorious gently curved her elegant eyebrows beneath her gorgeous hair. Although she knew what made her Admiral and husband feel a little guilty, as a caring wife and flight attendant, she didn't intend to say it out loud and embarrass him. She smiled gently at him, took his hand, and led him into her dormitory.

The spacious and clean dormitory felt warm and comfortable thanks to Guanghui's meticulous tidying up. From the bright living room and the bedroom with its girlish charm to the neat wall decorations and furniture, it was clear that Guanghui had put a lot of effort into decorating the room.

Besides, if you look a little closer, you can find that most of the furniture is actually copied from the dormitory in the Naval Academy, and even the style and color are very similar.

The naval base's dormitories were built to the highest standards of apartments, and both the overall design and the details were done perfectly, making them very suitable for long-term living. While they were brand new and high-end, there was one thing that made people dissatisfied: these spacious and comfortable residences lacked the reassuring atmosphere and scent that the admiral had in the academy's dormitories.

The photo that he and Guanghui had taken together at the zoo was still hanging high on the main wall of the living room. As soon as he entered the door, the boy went to the bathroom with Guanghui's help. He was covered in sweat from running and couldn't make breakfast for his ship girls in this state.

On the bathroom windowsill hung the clothes that Guanghui had washed and was drying. But perhaps because she had long since let down her guard against her beloved husband, even when the young man saw the various bras and panties that looked very sexy and alluring, she only blushed slightly and looked at her beloved husband with an indescribable gaze.

The shy look in Guanghui's eyes made the blushing boy feel even more guilty. In order not to waste time, the boy refused Guanghui's suggestion to run a bath for him and soak in the tub. He simply used the shower to wash off all the sweat on his body, then changed into the clean clothes that Guanghui, who seemed somewhat disappointed, had placed on the stool next to the bathroom door, and came out.

Outside, Glorious had already washed the clothes he had just worn and hung them on the balcony to dry, while in the living room, Phelps sat alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the photo of himself and Glorious on the wall.

Volume 1, Chapter 224: Fei'er

A ray of gentle sunlight shone through the clean glass of the window onto the girl's gentle and lovely face in the living room, bringing a touch of stunning sweetness.

Her slender arms hung naturally on her small, delicate knees, and her long, white-stockinged legs were gently brought together under the cover of her white skirt.

With a pretty sea-blue bow on her light-colored hair, the girl sitting on the sofa, looking both cute and a little reserved, seemed like an elegant and endearing little lady straight out of a fairy tale to the boy who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

From a distance, the little lady's gentle temperament made her look like a smaller, more innocent and delicate Lexington. But when he looked up and noticed the girl's somewhat dazed expression, and how she was vigorously wiping her damp hair with a clean towel, the boy realized that she seemed to be staring at the photo on the white wall opposite them, a photo of him and Glorious playing in the animal enclosure.

The boy placed the towel he had just used on the towel rack and slowly walked over, his slippers making no attempt to quiet the sound on the floor. But when he reached the sofa and came up behind the girl, she seemed completely oblivious to his arrival, still staring blankly at the photo that seemed to concern her greatly.

The girl's pretty face didn't show any noteworthy expression, except that her fair skin seemed even whiter than yesterday. She was just sitting there in a daze, which seemed perfectly normal.

But the more he looked at the girl's peaceful face and curved eyebrows, and recalled the time in the dormitory when she tightly gripped his wrist with an expression like an abandoned little animal, the more a feeling of worry arose in the boy's heart.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Perhaps she had finally noticed the arrival of her admiral. After the boy stood behind her for about ten seconds, Phelps finally turned around and looked at the boy who seemed to have suddenly appeared beside her.

"Admiral?... Ah, have you finished showering?"

The girl blushed slightly. If it weren't for the relaxing scent she had just caught from the boy, she wouldn't have noticed that the admiral had come to her side. She had been staring at the photo of the admiral and Illustrious on the wall, so engrossed that her hands had unconsciously clasped together. She didn't even realize that the admiral had finished showering and was standing behind her.

"Hmm... what are you looking at here? Why are you so engrossed in it?"

The boy nodded gently, and looking into the girl's eyes, which had suddenly become a little shy, he handed her a bottle of orange juice that Guanghui had just placed next to the bathroom door.
