Chapter 194 Abercrombie Wants a Sister

Time flew by, and when You Ran arrived at the table, Rodney had finally succeeded in turning two dishes and a soup into six dishes and a soup. Although there were still some flaws in the details and plating, it was at least presentable.

Sitting at the dining table, You Ran initially thought that the Yorkshire pudding Rodney mentioned was a dessert, but upon seeing it, she realized that Yorkshire pudding was actually a slightly salty, cup-shaped bread, which, when served with beef and other side dishes, had a unique flavor.

After dinner, while the commander and Nelson's mother were still chatting in the living room, Abercrombie secretly slipped into the kitchen and found Rodney washing the dishes.

"Sister Rodney~"

Quietly approaching Rodney's side, Abercrombie tugged at Rodney's clothes and whispered.

While washing the dishes at the sink, Rodney was thinking about what to talk to the commander about later. He didn't hear Abercrombie call him until he called several times. Looking at Abercrombie who was cautiously waving at him, Rodney wiped his hands with a towel and then squatted down in front of Abercrombie.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?" Rodney asked, somewhat curiously.

"Um, Rodney, I want to ask you something."

Abercrombie seemed a bit hesitant.

"Honestly, now you know to call me 'sister'? What have you been doing all this time?" Rodney pinched Abercrombie's cheek, but seeing that Abercrombie didn't resist for a long time, Rodney lost interest. "Okay, I didn't want to answer, but since you called me 'sister,' go ahead and ask. If I know, I'll definitely tell you."

"Really?! Thank you, Rodney! Rodney, you're the best!" Seeing that Rodney had agreed, Abercrombie happily hugged her and then asked impatiently, "Actually, I just want to know, if I want Nelson and the Commander to give me a little sister, what should I do?"

"Have a little sister?" Upon hearing this, Rodney was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh. "I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's this. Hmm—well, it's no big deal to tell you this. Traditionally speaking, you just need to let the Commander and your Nelson mother sleep in the same room for one night, and who knows, you might have a little sister in no time."

Although Abercrombie asked the question very seriously, Rodney saw it as a child's whimsical idea and couldn't help but tease Abercrombie.

"Let the Commander and Nelson's mother sleep in the house together for the night?"

This doesn't sound like...it's not difficult?

"Well, how was it? It's pretty simple, isn't it? Alright, I'm busy here. Abercrombie, you can go have some fun by yourself."

After saying that, Rodney patted Abercrombie's head and stood up to get back to work. The Commander had come all this way, and she was hoping to spend more time with him after she finished.

After getting the answer he wanted from Rodney, Abercrombie started to rack his brains.

Time flew by. After dinner, it was already close to dusk. After chatting with Nelson and later Rodney in the living room for quite some time, it got completely dark.

Although he was reluctant to leave, Rodney, who originally intended to personally escort the commander back due to time constraints, was overjoyed to hear that You Ran was going to stay overnight. Upon returning to his room, he immediately found a brand-new set of pajamas and clothes for You Ran to wear the next day, and boldly invited You Ran to take a bath together.

Although Rodney said it in a half-joking manner, You Ran knew in his heart that if he really agreed, Rodney would most likely actually come in.

Unfortunately, before he could even agree, Rodney was dragged away and given a lecture by a blushing Nelson, so the plan to take a bath together had to be put on hold for the time being.

A bathroom without anyone to keep you company is naturally boring. You Ran finished showering in just a few minutes, and after changing into her pajamas, she had just arrived in the living room when Rodney quickly came to greet her.

"It looks like it fits perfectly."

After scrutinizing You Ran from head to toe for a moment, Rodney nodded with satisfaction.

She was actually a little worried at first, after all, she had bought this set of pajamas on impulse when she went shopping a long time ago because she thought the style was nice. Although the price was a bit expensive, that was a minor issue. The main problem was the size, which made Rodney a little unsure. But fortunately, it seems there is no problem now.

"They are indeed quite comfortable to wear."

As long as the material is good enough and the size isn't too far off, pajamas can be a pretty good experience.

"How could it be uncomfortable? This dress cost our family's entire month's living expenses. It would be unreasonable if it wasn't comfortable." Hearing this, Nelson couldn't help but mutter under his breath, his tone tinged with resentment.

You should know that because of Rodney's impulsive act, their family almost ate at the cafeteria for a whole month.

It's not that the food in the cafeteria was bad, it's just that eating there was like winning the lottery. You never knew if the next dish you'd get was the first prize from Belfast or the grand prize from Sirius. And the indescribable taste of winning the grand prize is something Nelson still vividly remembers, so naturally, he's full of resentment when he thinks back on it now.

"A month's living expenses? Is it really that expensive?" You Ran was also somewhat surprised.

Although I've almost forgotten exactly how much my monthly living expenses were, it still sounds like a lot.

"After all, almost everything related to you, Commander, is considered a luxury item by Akashi, so it's understandable that it's expensive."

Rodney was a little embarrassed to talk about it. After all, she was usually in charge of grocery shopping and other household expenses, so the living expenses were naturally under her control. In addition, it was the beginning of the month, and she hadn't had time to separate the household expenses from her own allowance when she saw the pajamas. Then, on Akashi's strong recommendation, she impulsively bought them, and later she couldn't return them.

Although she regretted it a little at the time, now that she saw the Commander wearing the pajamas she bought and they fit him so well, Rodney felt it was worth every penny.

"This, okay."

You Ran was initially a little surprised, but after hearing the name Ming Shi, it suddenly made sense.

Chapter 195 Rodney: Triple Happiness

"By the way, speaking of this, I..."

"Oh dear, sister~ that happened so many years ago, why do you still remember it? Okay, okay, let's go take a bath."

Growing angrier by the thought, Nelson was about to say something more when Rodney, anticipating his words, pulled him to the bathroom door and shoved him inside. "Commander, if you're tired, get some rest. Sweet dreams~"

Before closing the door, Rodney said goodnight one last time.

Seeing this, You Ran was just thinking of going to the living room to sit for a while before going to rest, but before she could take two steps, Abercrombie, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pulled her directly into a room.

"Commander, Commander, you can sleep here tonight."

Ever since learning the specific method to obtain her sister from Rodney, she has been thinking about how to get the Commander and Nelson's mother to spend the night together in the room. But after thinking it over, she still feels that it would be much better to start with the Commander. After all, she knows Nelson's mother's personality, and the chance of success is probably zero.

"Uh, but isn't this Nelson's room?"

At first, she didn't pay attention, but after coming in, she noticed this and was therefore a little puzzled.

"Yes, yes, Commander, you should sleep with Nelson's mom tonight."

Abercrombie was quite direct, after all, she had said that the commander would sleep at their house, but she hadn't specified who he would be with.

"So, Abercrombie, you said this afternoon that you wanted me to sleep with your Nelson mother?"

"Well, because Nelson's mother always talks about you, Commander, so I wanted you to spend more time with her."

Abercrombie was absolutely sincere when he said that.

"Is that so... But actually, Abercrombie can come along too." Seeing how sensible Abercrombie was, You Ran hugged him and stroked his head as he spoke.

“Me, me too?” Abercrombie paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head. “No, no, that won’t do. Aunt Rodney will be all alone tonight, which would be too pitiful. So… so I’ll go sleep with Aunt Rodney.”

"Then let's invite Rodney along too," You Ran said directly.

As the master bedroom, Nelson's bed isn't very big, but you can definitely squeeze in and sleep in it.

“But, but…”

As his body was gradually enveloped by the commander, Abercrombie almost lost himself in it, but the thought of his unborn sister plunged him into a dilemma once again.

Oh right! Speaking of which, she remembered that Aunt Rodney only said that Nelson's mother and the Commander should spend the night together, but she didn't say that she couldn't be there, right?

If that's the case.....

"Well... okay, but I still need to ask Aunt Rodney later. If she agrees, I'll stay and keep you company, Commander."

If things really don't work out, she'll just drag Aunt Rodney to sleep in the next room.

Thinking of this, Abercrombie finally breathed a sigh of relief, snuggled closer to You Ran, and began to enjoy it with a clear conscience. The thought of seeing his sister as soon as he woke up the next morning made Abercrombie feel a little excited.

You Ran didn't pay much attention to these words, just taking it as Abercrombie being a little arrogant. After all, it seemed reasonable that he had picked up a bit of arrogance after spending so much time with Nelson.

However, since that's the case, it's impossible to go to sleep so early. Holding Abercrombie, You Ran casually picked up a book from Nelson's bedside and started reading.

Shortly after, the sound of Nelson and Rodney approaching and chatting could be heard in the corridor...

"Is the Commander sleeping with Abercrombie tonight?"

"Yes, of course. Abercrombie has been looking forward to it all afternoon. She should be eagerly waiting for the Commander to tell her a bedtime story by now."

"Ah~ That's so nice. I wish I could turn into a child too, so I could be cute with the Commander and sleep together."

"If you really want to sleep with the Commander, why don't you go ask him? What are you saying here?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that if I really go, my older sister will say that I'm shameless again."

"I was just telling the truth. As a royal lady, how could you act so recklessly?"

"How is this reckless? This is called taking the initiative. Sister, haven't you heard all the rumors about the Commander in the port lately? I heard that several of our Royal Navy sisters have already succeeded. If we don't take the initiative, the Commander will be completely taken advantage of."

"What kind of talk is that? What do you mean by 'taking advantage of the Commander'? The Commander isn't food, it's not like you can eat him." Nelson, who was chatting with Nelson all the way to the bedroom door and was about to open it, blushed when he heard this and couldn't help but retort.

"I was just using that analogy, and besides, there's an idiom in Donghuang called something like that, isn't there?"

There are too many and too varied idioms in Donghuang, and Rodney couldn't remember them all at once.

"Beautiful enough to eat?" Nelson casually remarked.

"Yes! That's it. I think the word 'commander' is very fitting."

Hearing this, Nelson pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment. After all, she remembered that when she saw this word in the dictionary, the first thing that came to mind was "commander." So she could only wave her hand to end the topic: "Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Why are you following me instead of going back to your room?"

"I just felt a little lonely thinking about not being able to sleep with the Commander at night, so I came to my older sister for comfort."

Rodney said half-jokingly. Normally, Rodney might not have been so talkative, but today was different. Ever since he saw the Commander, his mood had been at its maximum, and he had naturally become more lively.

Although he ultimately failed to reach a truly intimate relationship with the Commander, it was still a good thing that he was busy with work and research even when the Commander was away. More importantly, this also showed that the crisis the Commander had been worried about had been completely resolved. With such double happiness, it would be hard for Rodney not to be happy.

"You're such a grown man, don't you know shame? But let's make this clear first, if you're coming over to sleep here, go get your own blanket. I don't want to be unable to find it in the middle of the night..."

As he spoke, he opened the door, and the next second, Nelson, who hadn't finished speaking, froze on the spot upon seeing the figure inside.

"Meaning, Commander?!"

commander?

Hearing his sister's exclamation, Rodney, who also looked into the room, was immediately struck by a sudden premonition.

Perhaps tonight will bring three happy events.

Chapter 196 Nelson: Me, cute?

“Don’t look at me. I was originally planning to sleep with Abercrombie tonight, but before I could say anything, this kid brought me to your room and said he wanted me to sleep with you, Nelson, so I’m here now.” Seeing Nelson standing at the door looking hesitant, You Ran took the initiative to speak.

"Sleep with me?"

Upon hearing this, Nelson blushed slightly, but despite feeling a surge of joy, he opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to reply.

After all, in Nelson's opinion, sleeping together was something that only married couples could do. She wasn't a married ship anymore, not to mention that, in a sense, the commander was still a married man. If she agreed now, wouldn't she be the one who had no shame?

However, Nelson felt reluctant to refuse, and thus found himself in a dilemma.
