I, Azure Commander!

After Lin Xiao woke up, drank a large glass of hot water and finally recovered, the dinner officially began.

The girls who had been waiting for a long time immediately became eager to eat the nearest dishes with their chopsticks after seeing the commander pick up his chopsticks. They put them all into their mouths without caring what they were, and then...

"Well--!"

Including Lin Xiao, almost everyone's eyes lit up, especially Lin Xiao. Because of the baptism of chicken soup just now, eating such delicious food now even made him want to cry for a moment.

"How's it going, Commander? Is it to your liking?"

Haitian looked at Lin Xiao nervously. Although she was confident in her cooking skills, the taste of food was subjective after all. What if the dishes she cooked were not to the commander's taste?

Including seniors from other port areas, Haitian cares very much about everyone's opinions. After all, he has just joined the port area, and it would not be good if he left a bad impression right away.

“Delicious, very delicious!”

Lin Xiao naturally did not hesitate to praise her and immediately gave a thumbs up to this beautiful and capable girl.

"Really? I hope it suits your taste..."

Haitian immediately felt certain in his heart. Looking around, everyone seemed to be very satisfied. He finally felt completely relieved and a faint curve slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

To be fair, Haitian cooks a lot of dishes with many varieties, and each portion is quite large. In the past, most of the dishes would be left over and heated up for the next meal. However, the taste was so delicious, in no way inferior to those made by top chefs, so in the end, almost every dish had no soup left, and the green peppers or carrots that would always be left on the plate in the past were not left at all today.

This is a treasure!

——After Lin Xiao finished dinner, this was the only thought in his mind.

Although there are people who can cook in the port area, such as Tianying, his cooking skills are very good. He is not only good at cooking Western food, but also has some experience in Donghuang cuisine. He is very adept at making some home-cooked stir-fries.

But being able to cook and being very good at cooking, and being a top chef, are completely different concepts.

After eating Haitian’s food, Lin Xiao immediately realized that he would be inseparable from this girl in the future.

From now on, Donghuang cuisine will be cooked by Haitian, while Tianying and others will still be the chefs for Western cuisine, and Haitian can help out. In this way, they can communicate and learn from each other and make progress together.

After finishing dinner, I stood up to digest the food. It was getting late, so I should think about my accommodation for the night.

There is no need to go out and find a place to live, as this will be their residence for the next period of time. Just as mentioned before, this floor itself seems to be designed as a temporary residence, so there are many large suites, and there are many small rooms in the suites, which is at least enough for them to live in.

Accompanied by Sirius, Lin Xiao took a quick look around the rooms on this floor. They were all very spacious in design, and the beds were all oversized beds that were three meters wide, large enough for rolling around on.

Although a room for each person seems to be enough, considering that there may be new partners in the future, and a room of dozens of square meters would seem a bit empty for one person to live in, Lin Xiao finally decided to let everyone share a room and made a simple allocation. Of course, he himself was separated out. Even so, the ship girls would not let him sleep alone, and there would always be girls to accompany him.

Either it could be a wedding ship, or sometimes it could be a child, but the only children here are Dragoon and Haiqi. Dragoon is too serious and would definitely think it's too presumptuous to sleep with the Commander. Haiqi has just joined the port and has only just met the Commander, so they are not that familiar with each other and their favorability is not high enough, so that won't work either. Taking all the above into consideration, in the end, the only option is to let the wedding ship accompany the Commander.

Regarding this issue, the wedding ships had a simple discussion among themselves. The members of the discussion included Skyhawk, Sirius and Hao. As for Maomao, who was also a wedding ship but still a rookie, and Prince Heinrich, who wanted to join in the fun, they were ruthlessly excluded and were not allowed to participate for the time being.

There were only three competitors. Sirius was a maid, so she would give way to the mistress without hesitation. So in fact, there were only two competitors. Hao, who was in the passionate love period, naturally mustered up the courage to volunteer. Tianying was a girl with a gentle and easy-going personality, so she would not compete, but just reserved a seat for tomorrow night. As for Sirius...

Although this girl is a wedding ship, she is very persistent in her position as a maid. Whenever she encounters such a situation, she generally will not fight for it deliberately. She will only take the initiative to break into the master's bathroom to serve when no one is paying attention. As for when there is no opportunity, she will go back and study hard at night, absorb new knowledge in time, and constantly enrich her abilities and skills in order to be prepared for any emergency.

Lin Xiao naturally didn't know about these little competitions. He was in the bathroom of his room at the moment, covering his body with a towel, looking at the petite girl in front of him with a headache.

"Sheffield, you are..."

To be honest, just when I was about to take a shower, someone suddenly knocked on the bathroom door. At first I thought it was Sirius. This kind of scene happens frequently. However, it was not. The person who opened the door and walked in was another petite maid, Sheffield.

"It is to serve."

The girl spoke briefly and showed the towel in her hand. Her bright yellow eyes remained as calm or cold as ever.

Normally, this girl is not very good at expressing her feelings.

Although she is not a tsundere by nature, she can be particularly bold and straightforward sometimes...

"So, why?"

"Ok?"

Sheffield seemed a little puzzled and tilted his neck. "I think it is very normal for a maid to help her master take a bath. It is also the duty of a maid."

"That's not the question..."

That being said, Sheffield has never done this before.

"If it's because of what happened tonight, I really don't care and I'm not angry, so you don't have to..."

"It has nothing to do with that. Sheffield just wants to serve."

No, your expression clearly doesn't look like it's irrelevant, right?

Lin Xiao looked at Sheffield in front of him speechlessly. After getting along with her for a long time, it was naturally easier for him to understand this girl. For example, now, he was almost certain that although he had apologized many times just now, she seemed to still be brooding over the chicken soup in the evening. This seemed to be enough to prove that Sheffield did not do it on purpose - she really made that chicken soup very seriously.

Honestly speaking, this was not something to be comforted about. Rather, it was a somewhat horrifying fact, and it also strengthened Lin Xiao's determination to never let her, or any other Royal Ship Girl whose background was unknown, enter the kitchen.

In fact, there are people in the royal family who can cook. For example, the head maid Belfast is a very good cook. Of course, the premise for this is that she can cook many dishes from other camps. Even if it is the head maid of the port area, if she suddenly appears in front of Lin Xiao and says that she wants to cook some of her hometown specialties, Lin Xiao will definitely decline.

Let's put this question aside for now. No matter what the reason is, Sheffield seems to be particularly determined to serve. Lin Xiao wanted to struggle again, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems unnecessary.

If he really refused in a stern manner, Sheffield, as a maid, would definitely not force it upon him, but if that were the case, it would be a bit too hurtful.

Besides, Sheffield is not Sirius, so what is there to be afraid of?

After all, girls don't care, so why should you hide it?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao simply stopped hiding and untied the towel openly, saying calmly, "Okay, I'll leave it to you..."

It was visibly that Sheffield's gaze tended to move downward, and then, under the unchangeable nature of a scumbag maid, she quickly raised her hand and half covered her lips.

"puff--"

……

"You laughed just now, didn't you? You definitely laughed, didn't you?"

"No, I think it's the master's illusion."

"It's not an illusion, right?!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes in anger and said, "This is called hiding one's strength, understand? The better one hides one's strength, the more likely one is to be a big shot. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

To be honest, although I am not bragging, Lin Xiao must have his own unique ways to be able to fight with the Ship Girls for hundreds of rounds. Although he cannot beat the Ship Girls, he has gradually been able to be on equal terms with them recently. This is something that other commanders can never do.

From an ordinary person's perspective, no matter in which aspect, he can be regarded as a monster-level all-round warrior, a tall and mighty god of war!

"Well, I really don't understand. After all..."

Sheffield's answer was somewhat unexpected. Lin Xiao originally thought that this scumbag maid would definitely continue to be stubborn, but he didn't expect that she just said it vaguely. Without giving Lin Xiao time to react, she used her slender arm to push him to the shower head with just the right water temperature.

Although she was not as skilled as Sirius, it seemed that as Sheffield said, this was the duty of a maid, so at least she could do it. Lin Xiao didn't have to do almost anything. He just had to empty his mind and let the little girl stand on tiptoe and fiddle with it.

Sheffield is so cute...

By chance, Lin Xiao looked at the girl's serious expression up close and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If we were to say who has made the greatest contribution to the port area, it would definitely be the members of the maid team and the girls who often cook.

Because their port area basically does not need to fight, the strong ships and powerful guns sometimes seem to be useless. Instead, these girls who take care of everyone's lives are working hard to do their own things every day.

Especially since there are only these two maids in the port area, their work has always been very hard, especially with the increasing number of members in the port area, especially after moving to the port area. The port area is so big, and their workload is becoming more and more heavy.

That's why Lin Xiao chose to bring them here this time, because he didn't want them to get too tired or too hard-working.

As for the port area, although there are no maids, the ship girls don't have any lazy dogs except Nagashima. Even Prince Adalbert can take care of his own life, so it won't have any impact.

However, even though the maids were brought to Area E, their work content did decrease, and it seemed that they were still on edge every day...

To be honest, sometimes this makes Lin Xiao feel guilty.

Even the most evil-hearted capitalists don’t really have a 007 work system… Oh, except for those who write lousy novels, they really don’t have any holidays, unless they give themselves a holiday…

So sometimes, Lin Xiao would actually wonder if he should give the maids a holiday or something so that they could relax.

But there is definitely no such opportunity now. Let's wait until all the ship girls in Zone E are found, and then return to the port area. It will be a good opportunity to rest for a while and take everyone to a nearby island for vacation. It's a nice thought.

While his thoughts were drifting, the qualified maid had already completed her service and helped him take a bath. Sheffield was indeed unlike Sirius. Not to mention that she was not a marriage ship yet, even if she became a marriage ship, she would definitely not be the proactive type, but would silently wait for your arrival. If you really wanted to, she would definitely not refuse and would give you her whole heart and soul...

Damn it, why is every ship girl so good!

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart. No matter how long they had been together, he would always feel that he owed the ship girls something. And this seemed to be true. The kindness the ship girls had shown him was a debt he could never repay.

In this life, even if I fall into their hands...

Although he thought so, Lin Xiao's mouth was filled with a happy and warm smile.

There is an old saying that goes, "One does not know how to appreciate what he has", but he does not quite agree with this. Sometimes it is not that one does not know how to appreciate what he has, but that one is not happy enough. Take his current life for example, no matter who you are in his situation, what would there be to be dissatisfied with?

After taking a shower, Lin Xiao returned to the room and lay quietly on the bed. He stretched himself and seemed to be sleepy. However, he felt empty beside him. There was no girl in his arms, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is a true saying...

Chapter 23: The Little Biscuit Who Stays in Bed

After all, it is unlikely that the commander can fall asleep alone. The fragrant biscuits he washed early were quickly delivered to his door. He fell asleep comfortably while hugging his soft wife. Such a life is really simple and beautiful.

The next day, there was nothing to do because the signing event had not yet started. Although Lin Xiao did not want to waste time, signing events do require time for publicity. Some people or ship girls may even come from other places. These factors need to be taken into consideration, so the time choice was slightly delayed.

Although this is still far from enough, it is still a little better. I just hope that this first autograph session can be a good start...

But what should we do with this extra day?

Lin Xiao was lying on the bed, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window. Next to him was Little Biscuit, who had just woken up and was still sleepy. He curled up in Lin Xiao's arms like a clingy big cat, rubbed his chest, lay on top of him, closed his eyes, and wanted to go back to sleep.

Lin Xiao pushed her helplessly, and the hand that was not hugging her pinched her nose. Soon, Hao hummed in dissatisfaction and opened her gem-like bright eyes. Her whole body exuded the aura of a coquettish little animal. She was obviously a grown-up girl, but at this time she became like a child.

It is cute, of course, but its lethality is extremely high, making people feel unbearable.

The other arm was wrapped around the girl's slender waist, feeling the mature and soft body of the little biscuit, as if he was sinking into cotton.

"Is it time to get up?"

Lin Xiao looked at Hao who had finally woken up and spoke.

"Um……"

Although he responded, Hao obviously had no intention of getting up. He still stayed in the commander's arms, greedily enjoying the moment of warmth in the early morning.

"Sleep a little longer... just a little while..."

What else could Lin Xiao say?

He picked up his phone with one hand and started to read the latest news as usual, while his other hand was still holding the delicate body of Little Cookie. Such time was naturally enjoyable for him. Who doesn't like to stay in bed? Especially staying in bed with his sweet and soft wife, I believe no one can refuse.

Most of the news on mobile phones are rather messy. Because of the Sirens, the world is not so turbulent, and most people's lives are relatively comfortable.

Therefore, the proportion of entertainment in news reports is naturally relatively higher.

If there is any big news today, it is undoubtedly the announcement that the book "I, Azure Commander!" will be signing soon.

This book, which received a lot of publicity as soon as it was released, has indeed won the recognition of most people for its high-quality content. Because the publicity was strong enough, its popularity for a while was far beyond expectations, and many readers have begun to urge for a sequel.

Now that the book is popular, it will naturally receive more publicity directly or indirectly. Although the current sales are already very high, there are still many people who are interested in it but have not purchased it yet. In addition, activities such as book signings have a different meaning. I heard that the author of the book is a serious naval officer. It is very meaningful for a naval officer to attend a book signing.

Therefore, this piece of news occupied the headlines of many websites, which made Lin Xiao not know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

It is natural to be happy, but such a happy thing will inevitably bring some troubles.

Fortunately, there are only so many books in total, so we just need to sell them out. Otherwise, if there were too many people, I would have to sign for each one of them, and my hands would probably be sore...

"Commander, breakfast is ready, it's time to eat~"

Outside the door, Tianying's call told the two people who were still in bed that there was always a limit to how long they could stay in bed, and it seemed that it was time to get up this time.

Lin Xiao slowly lifted a corner of the quilt and reached out to take the clothes on the chair next to him.

At this time, Little Biscuit became active. He got the clothes before him, and then held his clothes in his hands and refused to give them to him, insisting on helping him put them on herself.

How should I put it, is this also considered one of Hao’s interests?

In fact, Lin Xiao discovered that many ship girls seemed to have such interests. Of course, there was no need for him to refuse such a good thing. But before helping him put on his clothes, could Miss Hao take care of herself first?

To be honest, it was a bit overwhelming to see all white right after waking up.

Fortunately, there was no accidental firing. After all, considering that there was a new ship girl at home, they couldn't let her wait for them for breakfast on the first day, so after a while, the two of them changed their clothes and washed up and went out. Tianying was standing not far away waiting for them. When he saw them come out, he immediately waved.

As soon as I walked to the door of the restaurant, I saw Haitian carrying a plate of crispy toasted bread and placing it on the table. It seemed that she was helping in the kitchen this morning and had also learned some Western-style cooking methods from the seniors in the port area. It felt like if she continued like this, she would soon become an all-round cook...

"Ah, good morning, Commander."

When Haitian saw Lin Xiao walking in hand in hand with Hao, he immediately put down the plate in his hand, bowed slightly and nodded.

The Donghuang ship girls seemed to care more about such etiquette, although Lin Xiao, a Donghuang person, no longer understood these things, and the ship girls would not really strictly abide by the rules of the old times as they remembered.

But relatively speaking, most of the time we are always more concerned about these etiquette issues and will at least say hello.

"Good morning, did you get used to the sleep you had last night?"

"Of course, Haiqi and I have lived here for some time..."
