Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

"Admiral..." Essex was almost fainted by Xue Cheng's unscrupulous gaze. If it were depicted in comics, Essex would probably have turned into a steam queen, with high-pressure steam constantly coming out of her head.

The dumplings are cooked.

Xue Cheng smiled slightly, and without wasting any more time, he stretched out his right hand and gently lifted Essex's chin with his index finger.

"Hey! Damn Admiral! What are you going to do to Jiaozi?" Bell McCann suddenly shouted, and flapped his wings with a wingspan of more than one meter a few times, stirring up gusts of wind.

"Go away, don't get in the way." Xue Cheng glanced at her casually, then grabbed the bald eagle with his free left hand, prying her off Essex's arm like a chicken and throwing her into the air. "Go find someplace to eat by yourself, and don't disturb your master's good deeds."

"You..." The bald eagle flapped its wings, barely maintaining its balance, glaring at Xue Cheng, and was about to give Xue Cheng a warning from behind.

However, when his eyes met Essex's pleading gaze, Bell McCann finally couldn't bear it anymore. He fell to the big tree next to him, staring at the two people under the tree with his sharp eagle eyes, waiting for Xue Cheng to do something excessive so that he could draw his sword to help.

After dealing with the eyesore, Xue Cheng ignored the bald eagle still watching nearby. He gently lifted the girl's chin and said with a gentle look, "Today's dumplings are very cute."

"Is that so?" Essex habitually wanted to lower her head, but her chin was supported by Xue Cheng. She had no choice but to lower her eyes and whispered, "The Admiral is also very handsome."

"Really?" Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows and slowly moved closer: "Essex is not lying, is he?"

"No way..." Essex's face turned even redder as he felt the hot breath getting closer.

Although she is a ship girl, Essex is reserved and introverted. She was a little overwhelmed by Xue Cheng's closeness. She subconsciously wanted to step back and keep some distance from Xue Cheng. However, at this moment, her waist tightened and a hot arm hugged her around the waist.

"Ah..." Essex cried out softly, and looked at Xue Cheng in panic like a frightened deer.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

A shadow loomed, accompanied by a strange breath and scorching temperature that Essex had never felt before. His body stiffened, and then seemed to melt, falling limply into Xue Cheng's arms.

"Ugh..." The bald eagle perched on a branch raised a wing and covered its eyes like a human, saying with disgust, "Humans are really weird. Why do they always do such inexplicable things?"

Xue Cheng ignored the bald eagle's extremely loud words, as if they were meant for him to hear, and devoted himself to his career, putting all the skills he had honed over the past period of time into use.

After a long time, Xue Cheng let go of Essex. The girl, who had never had such a novel experience, had now become soft as a puddle of mud and could only stand with the support of Xue Cheng.

She lowered her head and rested her cheek against Xue Cheng's chest, silently calming her slightly rapid breathing.

After a while, Essex finally calmed down. She supported Xue Cheng's chest with her hands, raised her head and said, "Why did the Admiral suddenly become, become..."

"Bold? Or proactive?" Xue Cheng let go of the girl, helped her tidy up her messy hair, and said with a smile.

"Both." Essex's fair face flushed, and her eyes dodged, not daring to meet Xue Cheng's gaze. She whispered, "You were so reserved when interacting with everyone before, why are you suddenly..."

Xue Cheng scratched his hair. Although he was well aware that his current state was not normal, he also knew that what he did was completely sincere.

At most, the medicine only enhanced his ability to move, making him no longer as restricted as before.

"Maybe I have figured out some things." Xue Cheng thought for a moment and said:

"I used to worry too much, not only suppressing my own true feelings, but also causing everyone to get hurt. But I won't do that anymore. From this moment on, I will shoulder my responsibilities as an admiral and a husband, and work hard to make everyone live a happy life."

"Eh?" Essex looked at Xue Cheng dazedly: "Admiral, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Xue Cheng curled his lips and smiled wickedly: "It doesn't matter. If you don't understand, I will prove it to you with my actions. Come on..."

Xue Cheng opened his arms again and walked towards Essex. Bell McCann of the tree quickly shielded his eyes with the wings he had just lowered.

But at this moment, a noise came from afar: "Here!"

"Hurry! The Admiral is here!"

"with!"

"Tsk, it came so quickly." Xue Cheng looked at Essex, who was back in his arms again, closing his eyes shyly, and shook his head regretfully:

"Sorry, Jiaozi, let's stop here today, but what I just said was not a joke. I will prove it to you with actual actions."

"So, goodbye."

"Eh?" Essex opened his eyes, and the only thing in his vision was Xue Cheng's back running away.

240. Continue to exert force

"Phew... That was a close call. I almost got caught." Relying on the complex terrain of the garrison, Xue Cheng successfully shook off the pursuers. He came to a remote park, sat on the swing and began to rest.

After sitting for a while, Xue Cheng seemed to remember something and turned off his cell phone, which had been vibrating non-stop. He then said loudly, "Yubari, are you reading this?"

There was silence all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind, the chirping of insects and birds, and the faint sound of waves in the distance.

Xue Cheng smiled nonchalantly and said to himself, "I know you must be watching now, otherwise they wouldn't have found you so quickly just now."

Still no response.

Xue Cheng was not embarrassed and said helplessly: "I am your admiral, how can you help them tip off?"

"I heard that a lot of your research funding comes from grants from the garrison, or perhaps investment from Santi. With my authority, it shouldn't be a problem to cut off these two avenues..."

Before Xue Cheng finished speaking, Yubari's voice suddenly rang out from a lamppost in the park: "Admiral! No! I'm just worried about your health, so..."

I am really under Yubari's surveillance!

Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows. He had the impression that Yubari had set up surveillance equipment in public places in the naval base, but Xue Cheng had no idea about the specific coverage. So he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to get a response from Yubari.

"Don't worry, I know my body well, and the scary medicine won't do any harm to me. But you, if you don't want to fall into the dilemma of financial shortage, then what should you do next? Do you understand?" Xue Cheng said with a smile.

Yubari was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Don't worry, I won't reveal the admiral's location to them again."

"Hmm?" Xue Cheng raised his voice slightly.

"I, I mean..." Yubari's voice sounded like he was about to cry: "I will help the admiral escape from their pursuit, and I will never let anyone find the admiral!"

"But let me make this clear. The Admiral's story has spread throughout the tutelary fort. If anyone takes action after encountering the Admiral, it's none of my business!"

"It's okay, just do your best." Xue Cheng waved his hand and stood up.

After resting for a while, Xue Cheng has recovered his strength. Now it's time to look for the next target.

……

It was a rare occasion for her to change out of her cheongsam and Hanfu, and put on a fashionable and beautiful short skirt and shirt like an ordinary urban girl. Yixian was holding the lotus pods she had just picked, peeling them as she walked.

Next to her, a silver-haired girl wearing the same outfit as a couple was constantly nagging her like an old woman.

"Sister Yixian, you can't keep being so passive! Look at the cruiser, then look at Omi, and then there's the Lexington... In short, if you keep going like this, Sister Yixian will always lag behind others and never get a chance to stand out!"

"If you fall behind, you'll be beaten! Don't you understand this, Sister Yixian?"

"How about this? Tonight I'll send out invitations on behalf of Sister Yixian, trick the Admiral into coming to your house, and have Changchun, Anshan, and Jinan ambush him outside. We'll smash the cups as a signal, and then everyone will rush over to grab the Admiral and throw him into Sister Yixian's room. Then, by then, the matter will be settled. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"It's getting more and more outrageous..." Yixian shook her head helplessly, raised her hand, and slapped a few lotus seeds into Chongqing's mouth.

She covered Chongqing's mouth until he ate the lotus seeds, then she removed her hand and said, "Are you calm now?"

Chongqing frowned and stuck out his tongue: "It's so bitter..."

"Lotus seeds are not cored, so of course they are bitter." Yixian chuckled and rolled his eyes at her. "It's just right. The weather is too hot now. It can cool you down and stop you from thinking too much all day long."

"How can you say it's nonsense?" Chongqing said angrily, "I'm clearly thinking about Sister Yixian! Even Omi, who finally got the ring, has successfully positioned herself. Why is Sister Yixian so unhurried and has no sense of crisis at all?"

Yixian picked up a lotus seed and put it in her mouth, saying leisurely: "Some things don't follow the first come first served rule. You can only think of using that method to keep your husband. Chongqing, you are still a little naive."

After a pause in Chongqing, she realized that she had changed her career lately. Although she was familiar with Chinese culture, she had not yet fully grasped it. She quickly asked, "Sister Yixian, what do you think we should do to keep the admiral?"

"It's very simple. You've been studying Chinese cuisine for so long, haven't you heard this saying?" Yixian opened her red lips and said slowly, "If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach."

"Just, just that simple?"

"Is it easy?" Yixian sighed, took Chongqing's hand, and said earnestly: "My dear sister, capturing a man's stomach is not something that can be achieved by just being a good cook. Not only do you have to cater to his preferences, you also have to learn to be attentive."

"For example, if you had greasy dishes like Dongpo pork or braised pork yesterday, the Admiral would definitely feel greasy. The next day's dishes should be light and refreshing."

"When the Admiral exercises, he will eat a light diet for a few days. On his rest days, he will definitely miss high-calorie foods. At this time, you can make some meat to satisfy your cravings."

"If you're like that, cooking whatever the admiral likes and spoiling him blindly without paying any attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, I'm afraid the admiral will avoid you in a few days."

"Is that so?" Chongqing stared blankly at Yixian. So there was so much to learn from this sentence? Had he been doing it wrong all along?

"What else?" Yixian shook his head helplessly and said, "You haven't learned much, and you've been daydreaming all day. I'll punish you by making you cook tonight and prepare dinner for everyone."

"Got it!" Chongqing saluted Yixian formally and then chuckled.

The two walked hand in hand, like sisters, sharing freshly picked lotus seeds and chatting as they walked along the path.

At the same time, Xue Cheng was walking towards him from the other end of the road.

"Hey, who are they..." Xue Cheng looked at the two girls walking towards him from a distance. Their hair colors, one silver and the other black, were very eye-catching.

The ones who recently joined the naval base have such a style, but their figures obviously do not have the sense of disobedience as if they are rejected by the world, and their clothes are also of very ordinary styles.

When the distance between the two sides was shortened, Xue Cheng was stunned when he saw Yixian's appearance clearly.

"That, that is Yixian? Am I seeing things?" Xue Cheng rubbed his eyes.

Chongqing's appearance is easy to recognize, but the girl next to her, after she changed out of her signature Hanfu and cheongsam, let her hair down, and put on a fashionable and bright short skirt, made Xue Cheng a little unrecognizable.

If it weren't for the charming teardrop mole at the corner of the girl's eye and her slender and perfect legs, Xue Cheng almost thought it was someone else.

"Yi-Xian is pretty good, and Chongqing is too. Remember they were related in the game?"

Xue Cheng's gaze fell on the two people's arms that were intimately linked together, and a smile crossed his lips: "That won't do, even if they are all girls... mine, all mine!"

Xue Cheng was muttering to himself when Chongqing on the opposite side noticed him first.

She paused. Was it a coincidence? They had just been discussing the Admiral, and now they met here. Could this be what Sister Yixian meant by fate?

Chongqing nudged Yixian with his arm and waved to Xue Cheng: "Admiral! Over here!"

Xue Cheng came back to his senses and greeted them: "Chongqing, Yixian, hello."

"That's not good." Chongqing crossed his arms and curled his lips in disdain. "I'm busy with the cafeteria all day and rarely find time to take a walk. And now I run into the admiral again."

Xue Cheng asked curiously, "Why do you say that? Is it bad luck that you met me?"
