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

He had asked Lexington yesterday why Phelps had suddenly become so uneasy when she showed him around the naval base, but Lexington, who was busy making lunch at the time, only told him that Phelps was probably just a little uncomfortable because he had reunited with the long-lost admiral, so there was no need to worry too much.

As the admiral, he trusted Lexington's judgment, after all, she was his capable and perfect secretary ship and wife!

Even though Lexington reassured him, looking at Phelps's appearance just now, he was still a little worried. Could it be that Phelps had encountered something embarrassing, like a girl's first time...

Of course, he wasn't just guessing. As someone with experience—well, I mean, someone who's been there—he had taken care of Xiao Rou when she was also having her period for the first time in Tianshui Town. He remembered that Xiao Rou's condition was also very strange back then; she would often sit there alone for half a day at a time. If he hadn't noticed in time and given her a proper explanation of women's physiological health, he would have worried that she might have mental problems.

"Hmm... I'm looking at that photo of the Admiral and Illustrious. They both look really good in the photo. I was so mesmerized by it."

The little girl shyly grinned at the boy, pinching the pretty pattern on the hem of her skirt. As for staring blankly at the photo of the Admiral and Illustrious Sister, although she was indeed in a daze, the reason was not because the Admiral and Illustrious Sister in the photo were very beautiful.

She knew that she was just envious of how easily Glorious Sister could win the Admiral's favor. Looking at the happy expression on Glorious Sister's face as she gently rested her chin on the Admiral's shoulder in the photo, she couldn't help but imagine what a beautiful and happy scene it would be if she leaned her head on the Admiral like Glorious Sister.

The boy didn't care too much. Since he suspected that the girl might have encountered something embarrassing that she was too ashamed to talk about, all he had to do now was to gradually gain her trust and make her willing to tell him her secrets. To this end, he decided to take the initiative to bring himself and Phelps closer together.

After a slight hesitation, he gently raised his arm and touched the girl's soft, flaxen hair on her forehead.

"Fei'er, is there anything you like to eat? I can prepare something special for you when I make breakfast later."

The boy smiled as usual and asked Phelps. Since he had decided to improve his relationship with the girl, using a more intimate name would obviously be a good way. However, sitting on the sofa with his soft thighs together, Phelps was suddenly surprised when he heard the admiral's new name.

“…Fei’er?…”

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you like the nickname 'Phelps'? You can call me 'Little Phelps' then. I feel like calling you 'Phelps' is too formal. This way, it feels more like a younger sister. But if you really don't want to, then never mind."

"No, no! Please do call me Phelps, not me..."

The girl was somewhat taken aback, but in an instant, she was filled with surprise and excitement.

Although she didn't know why the admiral would suddenly call her Fei'er, she remembered that before he disappeared, during the time when he wanted to give her a ring, he affectionately called her Fei'er. The little girl's heart, which was pounding fiercely, was filled with a faint sweetness, as if she had drunk honey.

"Really? Since you like it, then I'll call you Fei'er from now on."

Volume 1, Chapter 225: A Good Wife

The kitchen was fully equipped with all the dishes and tools. Having just finished showering and talking with Phelps in the living room, the boy went into the kitchen of the Glorious Dormitory to start preparing a special breakfast for his ship girls.

Because he often helped Xiaorou make breakfast when she went to the market early in the morning back in Tianshui Town, he never touched a spatula after arriving in Jinchuan. He had always enjoyed the care of Guanghui or Lexington, who did everything for him. When the boy picked up the spatula again, he still skillfully poured the food he had prepared into the pot.

While humming a cheerful tune, she flipped the spatula in the pan, using a special technique she had learned from Xiao Rou. The pan, which didn't have a strong smell of oil smoke, emitted a rich aroma.

Of course, in terms of taste, his cooking couldn't possibly compare to the culinary creations of Lexington and Yixian, whose skills were probably beyond the reach of even most seasoned chefs. However, to my own taste, it was still palatable.

Having just had a good workout and a relaxing shower, Su Yuchen was in a very good mood, enjoying the rare pleasure of waking up early. In the living room, she was still sitting on the soft sofa, and the lovely girl seemed to have had all the dust swept away, becoming exceptionally energetic.

Because of his admiral's words, whether intentional or not, the fatigue he had accumulated last night due to his poor mental state seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Gently pinching the cute flower pendant on the hem of her skirt, just thinking about the admiral's affectionate and adorable nickname for her a few minutes ago, the girl with a smile on her lips couldn't help but cross her smooth, straight white-stockinged legs once again.

The girl's transformation was obvious. Although she was still as endearing as ever, it was unclear whether she herself had noticed that the difference between her before and after entering the room was striking, like a withered flower suddenly becoming full and vibrant. The happy smile that unconsciously appeared on her lips even surprised Guanghui, who was sitting next to her.

I remember when Phelps' sister came over just now, she looked worried and preoccupied. I didn't say anything, but I was planning to subtly probe her for the Admiral during dinner. But how come she's suddenly become so lively?

Could it be that the Admiral also noticed Phelps' sister's strange behavior and took care of it for her while I was washing his clothes? Hehe, as expected of the Admiral! He resolved Phelps' sister's worries so quickly!

Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't help the Admiral, she couldn't help but feel happy for her beloved Admiral that he had solved Phelps' sister's problem in such a short time.

He was happy to be able to eat breakfast prepared by the Admiral himself, or perhaps he was infected by the cheerful mood of the girl beside him. He gently smoothed the silver hair that was falling over his forehead, and put down the paper and pen in his hand, which he had been writing down for some unknown reason. He began to talk to the little girl.

"Did something happy happen to Phelps' sister? You seem unusually happy all of a sudden?"

"Yes! Because I just had a conversation with the admiral."

The young girl nodded without hesitation. Of course! Although it couldn't compare to the joy of receiving a ring from the admiral, just when she was worrying about her troubled love, the admiral actually took the initiative to call her Phil! Could it be because she prayed to the sea god every day, so the sea god made the admiral understand her feelings?

Of course, that's impossible, because the God of the Ocean doesn't exist at all. But one thing is for sure: today is definitely my lucky day! Otherwise, how come the Admiral is willing to call me Phil when I haven't done anything yet?

Gently touching the cool bracelet on her wrist, the girl smiled softly at the Radiant Sister.

"But, Sister Guanghui, what have you been writing in your notebook since the beginning? Are you recording something?"

"Oh, you mean this? This is a list of ingredients that I asked Aurora, I mean Miss Chongqing, to bring back for me today. The Admiral has probably been working quite hard lately, so I wanted to make some nourishing food to help him recover."

"By the way, Phelps, do you know what the Admiral likes to eat the most? I haven't spent much time with the Admiral, so I don't know all of his preferences yet."

"Hehe, is that so? Hmm... As for the Admiral, he usually likes to eat home-style dishes, like braised pork, cola chicken wings, shredded pork with garlic sauce, etc. Although the Admiral doesn't say it, he still likes to eat meat. Occasionally, he also likes to eat some light food. Personally, I think the Admiral seems to really like to eat stewed potatoes with meat and fried meatballs. These are the dishes that Sister Lexington used to make the most."

Phelps smiled as she answered Glorious's question. If it were just now, she would have worried that Glorious might steal her job, but now, the first priority was that the admiral could receive better care.

"However, the admiral doesn't seem to like soup. He doesn't seem to like any kind of soup, especially soup with eggs."

"No wonder the Admiral doesn't drink much of the soup I make. Oh, I see. The Admiral doesn't like soup."

Using her delicate handwriting, Glorious recorded the information she had obtained from Phelps' sister in her notebook. Although it was rather general, based on her observations of the Admiral's habits, she roughly knew what her beloved Admiral usually liked to eat.

"Phelps' sister has a very keen eye for the Admiral. It seems you really like him. So gentle and virtuous, the Admiral will surely adore you."

Gently putting down the pen and paper, Glorious spoke softly to Phelps. Hearing Glorious's gentle and soft words, the little girl suddenly blushed. However, apart from the slight embarrassment of having her feelings exposed, she felt more sweetness.

Even the gentle and kind-hearted Illustrious Sister Lexington thinks she would be a good wife, so does the Admiral think so too?

"No, no, it's Glorious Sister who is more popular. Glorious Sister is already the Admiral's married ship, so the Admiral must like Glorious Sister more."

"Huh? You, you knew all about it, Phelps' sister..."

"Yes. It was Sister Lexington who told me, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Sister Lexington and the Admiral don't want the other sisters to know about this now. Everyone at the naval base likes the Admiral, so she's afraid the other sisters will be anxious if they find out."

Volume 1, Chapter 226: Flowers

The breakfast the boy made was not lavish. At least compared to the fragrant meals that Glorious and Lexington made, it was just a simple omelet rice and a pot of milk that had been prepared in advance. It looked quite meager.

Of course, "shabby" is only relative. Compared to Glorious and Phelps, who were eating breakfast made by their own admiral for the first time, let alone the omelet rice which is actually quite troublesome to make, even if the boy just boiled an egg in water, it would probably be the "most delicious meal" that shines brightly for them.

After carefully eating every last bit of food on her plate, she modestly wiped her mouth and chatted with her beloved admiral for a while before leaving Glorious Sister's dormitory, completely satisfied.

After all, unlike her own silly admiral who only enjoyed the care of his older sisters and occasionally attended classes at the academy without any other important missions, she was the only ordinary destroyer ship girl in the port who had been on the battlefield and had a lot of practical experience. She naturally became Marani's teacher.

Because of Marani's diligence, for the past few days, at this time, she has been teaching Marani some destroyer combat skills on the training ground.

The girl was naturally reluctant to leave, because the admiral she had long admired suddenly started calling her Fei'er, which made her heart flutter.

As the owner of this dormitory, Glorious was still by her beloved Admiral's side. After enjoying the delicious meal, she wanted to help the Admiral, who seemed a little tired, tidy up and prepare the breakfast she would send to her sister Lexington later.

But before she could even say it, her admiral refused with the excuse, "Since I'm going to make breakfast for you, I should also finish all the other things. You've always taken such good care of me, so I want to let you enjoy yourself a little more sometimes."

Although her suggestion was rejected, the gentle and beautiful smile on Guanghui's face, which was filled with joy and a touch of warmth, was impossible to hide as she sat on the soft sofa in the living room.

It's true that her admiral doesn't usually pursue women, but from his words and expressions, she could clearly feel his respect and affection for her.

Before, I had a slight worry that the Admiral's attention might be drawn to a perfect and dazzling woman like Lexington. But I was just too prone to overthinking. What do you mean, that I might not be as good as Lexington? Didn't I already know that the Admiral isn't that kind of person at all?

The boy's figure was still busy in the open kitchen. Watching this scene, which resembled a gentle husband caring for his wife, Hikari gently touched her soft and smooth belly with her hand on her chest. As if craving the boy's tenderness and love, she quietly got up, quietly passed through the door, and listened to the sound of the boy washing the pots and pans in front of her. She then quietly wrapped her slender arms around her admiral's waist from behind, pressing her chest, which had always longed for her beloved admiral's caresses, tightly against his back.

The boy was naturally surprised by Guanghui's warm body temperature and the two exceptionally soft touches that suddenly appeared on his back. He heard Guanghui's footsteps as she entered the room and smelled her pleasant scent in the air. He thought she couldn't help but want to come in and do something for him, but unexpectedly, Guanghui suddenly hugged him tightly.

With his delicate chin resting on his shoulder, listening to the light, airy breathing of his wife, the young man gently touched his wife's slender hands, which were clasped together in front of his abdomen.

"What's wrong, Glorious? Are you still hungry and want another meal?"

Feeling the familiar warmth and touch of the radiance, and to cover up his rising guilt, the boy casually teased the radiance behind him.

As shipmates they both loved, after joining the naval base, Illustrious and Lexington acknowledged each other's identities and became very close sisters.

Although the gentle women may have known that this would happen, and even hinted or explicitly told him many times not to think too much about it, the fact that his wife and Jiajia had both truly become women from girls last night, and that she was now flirting with Guanghui like nothing had happened this morning, made him feel increasingly pressured just thinking about this scumbag behavior.

"Hmm~ No, that's not it, Admiral! I just wanted to hug you, because Illumination hasn't had a proper hug with you for two or three days."

The boy's voice reached Glorious's ears, making her pout her cherry-blossom lips slightly, a little disgruntled. She was quietly enjoying the reassuring feeling of being close to the Admiral, but she never expected him to say such unromantic words, making her want to gently bite him.

"When can't I hug you? I haven't finished washing the dishes yet. How am I supposed to continue washing the dishes if you keep doing this?"

"Hmm... but Admiral, you have to go to the academy for a lecture later, and you might not have much time if you wait any longer."

"Uh... this..."

The young man was speechless after his wife's words. It made sense. Since arriving at the naval base, the time he could spend alone with Glorious had decreased dramatically. It wasn't that he didn't want to be intimate with Glorious; after all, the two large mounds on his wife's chest, symbolizing life and childbirth, and her gentle acceptance and indulgence of his actions, had always been something he craved. His gentle wife and adorable Jiajia were also captivating to him. But what normal man would complain about having too many beautiful flowers blooming in his own yard?

The boy's hesitation made Glorious's warm lips curve into a smile. As a considerate and attentive wife ship girl, she knew what her beloved admiral had been thinking from the moment he entered the room, with his somewhat evasive and hesitant gaze. Rather than telling him not to worry and that she didn't mind his relationship with Lexington at all, which might make him even more uneasy, it might be more effective to corner him like this.

"Hehe~ Let's not talk about that. Admiral, you just called Phelps 'Phelps,' didn't you? That's so nice. Such a cute name. Phelps must be very happy."

Volume 1, Chapter 227: I Don't Object to Occasional Intimate Contact

"Hehe~ Let's not talk about that. Admiral, you just called Phelps 'Phelps,' didn't you? That's so nice. Such a cute name. Phelps must be very happy."

Her bulging chest pressed tightly against her husband's warm back through only a layer of soft fabric. A pair of bright blue eyes gazed tenderly into the young man's eyes, as if hinting at something. Radiant spoke softly to her admiral, who captivated her heart, before her.

Her words were, of course, meaningful. Sister Lexington was called "Madam" by the Admiral, and Teacher Sara was called "Jiajia" by the Admiral. Now, even the adorable little sister Phelps had an affectionate and cute nickname, "Phelps," in front of the Admiral. However, as the Admiral's own ship, she was still called "Radiant" by him.

She hadn't cared much before, since as long as the Admiral liked it, that was fine. But after seeing how happy and joyful Phelps' sister looked when the Admiral called her "Phelps" early in the morning, she couldn't help but start to want a special nickname that she would only use when she was alone with her beloved Admiral.

For example, she usually calls the Admiral "Admiral" when they are out, but at night, in the warm bed, she will change her address to "darling" or occasionally "husband" which makes her blush.

His wife's seemingly sparkling gaze was fixed on his cheek with anticipation, making the young man feel a little embarrassed, so he scratched his cheek behind her back.

He wasn't stupid. He had already considered this issue when he called Phelps "Phelps" in front of Glorious. He was very used to calling him "Glorious, Glorious," but as lovers in the throes of passion and newlyweds, such a common form of address always made him feel like something was missing.

However, listening to Guanghui's suggestive words and seeing her expectant eyes, he was hesitant to speak, even though he had already decided what to call Guanghui. Who knew if she would like the nickname he wanted, Guanghui?

"Um... um, actually I thought Phelps didn't seem to be in a good mood, so I wanted to call her that to cheer her up, because I always felt like she thought I was going to abandon her. If you like it, Glorious... then, then I'll call you 'Lastie' from now on... how about that?"

Lasty, this name was certainly not something a young man came up with on a whim. As the lead ship of the Illustrious-class armored aircraft carriers, Illustrious had a very nice nickname among her sailors: "the lusty lady," which literally translates to "the energetic lady."

So after much deliberation, the young man decided to use her transliteration "Lasti" as his affectionate nickname for Radiance, and the name "Lasti" did indeed suit Radiance's elegant and gentle temperament and personality.

The boy's slightly embarrassed words reached Guanghui's ears, causing her full and beautiful body to tremble slightly. She had only intended to take the opportunity to be a little coquettish with her husband. After all, given his dull mind, she hadn't expected him to come up with a particularly romantic nickname for her. But "Lastie," this unexpected nickname...

Yes, just by looking at her somewhat moved expression and her increasingly watery eyes, you can tell just how much she likes Glorious.

“Lastie…Lastie…Hehe, Admiral, my dear, I really love the nickname Lastie, thank you.”

"Okay, if you like it, then I'll call you Rosette from now on, Glorious."

Her moist lips repeated the nickname that captivated her, and a delighted smile appeared on Radiant's stunning face. She gently rubbed her chin against the boy's shoulder, and her arms, which were wrapped around her husband, tightened involuntarily as if she wanted to meld herself into the boy's body.

Guanghui's fondness for this nickname was naturally passed on to the boy she was holding, which could be heard from his surprised voice. However, feeling Guanghui's soft body, he smiled and responded to her words. Looking at Guanghui's cheek, he suddenly remembered that he still had a gift for Guanghui that he hadn't had time to give her yet. It was the pair of four-leaf clover earrings that he had bought with Jiajia yesterday. He had been carrying them with him since last night, planning to give Guanghui a surprise when he saw her.

"Oh, wait a minute, Light...Lastie, I have a gift for you, I bought it for you when I went out yesterday... Ah..."

He said this to Guanghui, but when he reached into his empty pockets, he realized that the gift he had given Guanghui was still in the pocket of the pants he had just changed out of, and that Guanghui had washed those pants...

"Lastie, um, where are the clothes I just changed out of? I think I put the gift I prepared for you in my pants pocket and forgot to take it out."

The young man felt a little apologetic for his mistake. He gently scratched his head at his beautiful wife, intending to ask her where his clothes were so he could retrieve the earring from his pocket. However, seeing her husband's somewhat embarrassed expression, Guanghui, who had gently patted his chest from behind with a beautiful smile, suddenly let go of his hand and smoothed a strand of silver-white hair from her forehead.

"You mean these earrings, Admiral?"

Her delicate earlobes, smooth and lustrous like jade, were visible beneath her elegant, silvery-white hair, and there stood the pair of four-leaf clover earrings the young man had intended to give her. She had discovered the earrings, packaged in a jewelry box, while her admiral was washing clothes. Like the necklace she had given Lexington, she had taken the liberty of opening the box after seeing the words "To my wife, Illustrious" written on it in English.

"Ah...you've already seen it."

The young man nodded. Although he couldn't personally deliver the gift to his wife, the result seemed pretty good.

"Yes, because I saw my name on it. But, Admiral..."

With her eyes filled with an unusual light, she gazed at the boy's face and spoke softly with a smile. But when she took the boy's hand, she gently placed it on her full, rounded chest.

After two days without any intimacy with the Admiral, she now received a gift from him and the adorable and romantic nickname "Lasty." Although she felt a little bad for her sister Lexington who was still next door, she really couldn't resist.

"I don't object to occasional close contact either~"

She spoke softly, and as she did before to fulfill the boy's expectations, she shyly lifted her beautiful skirt, revealing her beautiful legs encased in white stockings beneath the long skirt.
