Their perfect commander

After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng put it in the washing machine to wash it clean. When Dido comes again, he will let her take it away. Even if she doesn't come, Sirius can take it back.

....Hmm...Sirius...Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something...

I forgot to buy some plastic bowls and plates, and the remaining porcelain plates are not resistant to falling...

While I was thinking, there was another knock on the door.

This time Jiang Cheng guessed correctly. The person who came was Sirius. She was still wearing a maid outfit. But Jiang Cheng didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Sirius's maid outfit was missing a few pieces. At least the long sleeves had become short sleeves, and her white and tender arms were exposed to the air. Her little hands were also covered with white gloves.

Of course, there is also the Donghuang Knot hanging on the chest, only half of which is outside, and the remaining half seems to have been eaten.

"Mr. Jiang Cheng~Good afternoon~~" Sirius looked at Jiang Cheng, and there was an indescribable affection in her ruby ​​eyes. Her boring maid life seemed to be injected with new vitality.

"Good afternoon Sirius, please come in, Sirius." Jiang Cheng also smiled and invited Sirius into the house.

What else did Sirius bring this time? He was holding a lunch box, probably some carefully made 'delicious food'? ?

Jiang Cheng naturally saw the lunch box, but what he didn't know was that there was a new world hidden in that lunch box~~~

"Mr. Jiang Cheng, please~~This is the meal that Sirius prepared for Mr. Jiang Cheng..."

"Thank you, Sirius." Jiang Cheng took the lunch box and put it on the table. He had no intention of eating it now. After all, he had just finished his meal not long ago.

But Sirius's eyes kept wandering between Jiang Cheng and the lunch box, as if she was waiting for Jiang Cheng to taste what she made.

Stare~~~stare~~~

"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng understood Sirius's intention and opened the lunch box.

"Please~~" Sirius took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms and handed them to Jiang Cheng. The chopsticks were freshly baked, with warmth and a faint fragrance~~~

Jiang Cheng took the chopsticks, and at this moment his attention was all on the lunch box.

What kind of things will Sirius make?

When the lid was opened, a faint black smoke came out first, followed by a strange smell mixed with oil and salt. As for the finished product, it was some black strip-like objects.

"Hmm..." Even Jiang Cheng was stunned, staring at the 'thing' on the plate, as if thinking, what on earth is this? ?

Some kind of royal specialty food???

Jiang Cheng picked up a piece with chopsticks and looked at it carefully again, but still couldn't figure out what it was. The black block looked like wood burnt by a fire, and it exuded a rich mixed smell of olive oil and soybean oil. The black color was definitely not the color of the food itself, but seemed to be dyed, because it came into contact with the chopsticks and was also stained black.

There seemed to be some black particles scattered in the air.

I guess I can't tell anything from it, so I just tasted it.

Jiang Cheng put the unknown lump into his mouth without hesitation and chewed it gently.

It seemed a bit hard, and it felt like biting into a rock, but for Jiang Cheng, it seemed still swallowable.

Sirius looked at Jiang Cheng's swallowing expression nervously, trying to see something from Jiang Cheng's expression, but Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged.

Sirius was worried that what he made might not suit Jiang Cheng's taste. What if Jiang Cheng didn't like it?...

In fact, Sirius' worries were completely unnecessary. What Sirius should worry about most was whether what she made was edible!

Crack~~Crack~~

Jiang Cheng chewed for a long time before he tasted a familiar flavor from the black unknown substance.

Among the sweet and salty flavors, Jiang Cheng tasted the taste of potato. Although it was masked, he still tasted it. It was like the taste of burnt roasted potatoes.

So the main ingredient is potatoes.... Jiang Cheng is still silent...

He really couldn't think of what Sirius made with potatoes...

Jiang Cheng swallowed the unknown object, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Sirius calmly, as if the things in the lunch box had no effect on him at all.

"Sirius..."

"Sirius is here!! Please speak, Mr. Jiang Cheng!" Although Sirius looked calm, she was actually getting nervous. She was waiting for Jiang Cheng's comments. If Jiang Cheng was happy, that would be great.

"Sirius, what did you do?" Jiang Cheng asked the question in his mind.

"Huh?" Sirius didn't expect Jiang Cheng to ask such a question, but she still answered it.

"It's stir-fried shredded potatoes." She made it according to the steps in the recipe, and then added a little bit of innovation. Although the finished product looks different... it shouldn't be much different, right? ?

"Stir-fried shredded potatoes..." Jiang Cheng savored the taste and texture...

Well... apart from a little bit of potato flavor, Jiang Cheng didn't seem to find anything in common between the two.

"That's right... If there are any shortcomings, please point them out, Mr. Jiang Cheng! Sirius will definitely keep them in mind!" Sirius took out a small notebook from his chest, looking like a good student.

"Not enough..." Jiang Cheng was really thinking about where to start...

After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng spoke.

"First, the potatoes have to be peeled."

"Is that so..." Sirius recalled the scene very seriously. She really didn't peel it! !

Mr. Jiang Cheng is indeed Mr. Jiang Cheng! He could tell the difference in one bite! Sirius admired Jiang Cheng even more.

"Secondly, don't pour too much oil."

"....So how much oil should be used?" Sirius took notes quickly. She remembered that she poured a bottle of olive oil and half a bucket of soybean oil...so that the food would be fully flavored!

"This will take the amount of Sirius potatoes."

"...I see, Sirius understands." Did Sirius understand? ? Probably.

"Also, don't use too much seasoning, and don't use all of it. You don't need to add sugar when stir-frying shredded potatoes."

"....." Sirius nodded thoughtfully. Next time, he would not use white sugar and try brown sugar. The color should be better this way.

Sirius wrote down Jiang Cheng's words word for word in his notebook.

"If these steps are taken seriously, Sirius will have a lot of room for improvement." This is a very pertinent evaluation and suggestion.

After all, Sirius really has no room for retreat.

"Anything else? Mr. Jiang Cheng!! Please feel free to point out Sirius's shortcomings!" Hearing Jiang Cheng's words that were not exactly praise, Sirius was actually somewhat indescribably excited! !

She just thought Jiang Cheng looked good when he wasn't pretending! !

"Also... Sirius please take off your gloves."

"Eh???"

29. So-called gentleness

"Eh?" After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Sirius subconsciously hid his hands behind his back, not wanting Jiang Cheng to see his burned hands under the gloves.

"Please let me see." Jiang Cheng still looked at Sirius calmly, his bright black eyes made Sirius dare not look him in the eye.

"Sirius...it's okay...it's really okay...Mr. Jiang Cheng, you're overthinking..." Sirius' cheeks turned slightly red, probably because of lying. Sirius didn't lie much, except for occasionally praising Her Majesty the Queen.

"......" Jiang Cheng didn't say anything else, just looked at Sirius calmly. His eyes seemed to have magic, attracting Sirius. Even though he didn't dare to look at him, he still had to secretly glance at him a few times.

"...It's really okay..." Sirius finally gave in. For some reason, she didn't seem to want to refuse Jiang Cheng's words, or rather, she didn't want to refuse.

The gloved hand slowly stretched out, first the left hand and then the right hand.

Jiang Cheng held Sirius' slender wrist and first took off the glove on Sirius' left hand. There seemed to be no signs of burns on that white and tender hand.

Sirius' cheeks flushed slightly, and there seemed to be some unknown emotions in his beautiful red eyes.

Mr. Jiang Cheng's hands...are very warm...

But she still didn't want Jiang Cheng to see the scar on her right hand.

"It's really okay, Mr. Jiang Cheng, Sirius is very careful." Sirius was about to retract her right hand, but her right hand had already been held by Jiang Cheng. Her slender wrist trembled slightly, as if she wanted to 'break free' from Jiang Cheng's hand, but the moment their skin touched, Sirius lost her strength.

Jiang Cheng carefully took off Sirius's gloves, exposing his fair and tender hands to the air, and his red skin was obviously burned by the oil.

Fortunately, the ship girl is still a ship girl after all, and she is not that fragile. Her skin was just red, and there was no blistering.

After carefully observing the injury, Jiang Cheng let go of Sirius' hand. The warm touch disappeared, and Sirius felt inexplicably lost.

"Okay, wait for me here." Jiang Cheng went back to the house to get the medicine box.

Sirius looked at Jiang Cheng's back, inexplicably dazed, her cheeks slightly red, and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened. Of course, her expression remained unchanged, but only she knew how 'excited' she was at this moment.

Jiang Cheng came back soon, carrying a medical box and sat next to Sirius.

"hand."

“Okay…Okay…”

......

Fortunately, the burned area was not large. After disinfection, Jiang Cheng applied burn ointment on Sirius and gently bandaged it with sterile gauze, and the treatment was completed.

"All right."

"Hmm..." Sirius's attention was not on her hands at all. She looked at Jiang Cheng bandaging her body, and she felt an indescribable throbbing in her heart... her heart was pounding... and even her breathing became heavy.

"Sirius??"

"Yes! Yes!" Sirius didn't come back to his senses until his ruby-like beautiful eyes met Jiang Cheng's eyes.

Is this... is this Mr. Jiang Cheng's charm... it's really... hard to extricate yourself...

According to the royal aesthetic...or the aesthetic of the ship girl, Jiangcheng is not very good-looking, but it is quite pleasing to the eye. The more you look at it, the more you want to take a few more glances.

Of course, ship girls don’t focus on appearance, they focus more on the clear and flawless soul.

"Don't cook like this next time. It's easy to get hurt."

"Sirius... got it... Sirius just wanted to... just wanted to repay Mr. Jiang Cheng..."

"Repay..." Jiang Cheng was also stunned when he heard this word, "Didn't Sirius help me clean the room?"

"Eh? But...but...Sirius broke the plate...and made things worse." Sirius did not hide the mistake he had made at all and looked at Jiang Cheng with an extremely serious expression.

Logically speaking, if she didn't do well, Mr. Jiang Cheng should punish her... Of course, no matter what the punishment is, she will accept it! !

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"it does not matter."

"No!! Mr. Jiang Cheng, please accept Sirius' reward!!! Sirius can do anything for Mr. Jiang Cheng!" Sirius is worthy of being Sirius. His two soft little hands immediately held Jiang Cheng's hands. His warm skin gently pressed against the palms and backs of Jiang Cheng's hands, gently rubbing them.

That kind of warmth came over me again, Mr. Jiang Cheng's hand...

The beautiful red eyes rippled slightly, and Sirius couldn't help but want to hold that hand in his arms.

"..." Jiang Cheng still looked calm. He didn't seem to react to Sirius's intimate behavior.

Or rather, he didn't know how to react.

Gentleness seems to be just to cover up the empty heart, and Jiang Cheng’s gentleness doesn’t seem to be that gentle.

Perhaps one day, when Sirius discovered that the tenderness was not special, that tenderness would become cruelty to her.

There are some things that Jiang Cheng just doesn't understand.

"I understand. I have something to ask of you, Sirius..."

......

Sirius walked away, smiling.

She could finally do something for Jiang Cheng, although it was still something she was not good at.

I will go shopping at the market with Jiang Cheng tomorrow.

This is probably the most suitable "repayment" Jiang Cheng can think of for Sirius.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Cheng didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long time, he shook his head and smiled slightly.

It seems like I have figured it out, but also like I have given up.
