With the approval of those around her, she had no choice but to accept this troublesome task reluctantly.

She bowed in agreement, and the moment she looked up, her eyes met with Hindenburg, who had followed the sound.

Brown-green and blood-red, the two people's eyes complemented each other, and they reached an invisible understanding of sympathy for each other.

Just because of this relationship with Guanghui, the girl, who had never met him before, was willing to give her all to help him.

Zhou Xuan raised his lips, lowered the rim of the cup, and made a gesture of clinking glasses to drink together.

They hit it off immediately, and Shengli, who accepted the deal happily, only then remembered her glass of wine. She quickly raised it and then returned it to Zhou Xuan in the same way.

You can still vaguely hear the satisfied exclamation, he finished it in one gulp and added Shengli.

"If Miss York does something similar in the future, please let me know."

"Now is a sensitive period. For the sake of friendly relations between the two sides, some matters should be handled by the royal family."

Without knowing the inside story, just looking at the surface, the girl's thinking is still in that ideal state.

But they never thought that a good hunter often plays the role of prey.

But in the final analysis, it was because he understood his good intentions and was sincere, so Zhou Xuan couldn't refuse.

Then he raised the corner of his mouth, raised his hand, and gently stroked her silky hair.

"I understand, Victory sister~"

Just one word and one flirtation made her cheeks blush instantly.

He just felt shy and flustered, and even Shengli himself couldn't tell why.

The innocent girl hesitated and hesitated for a while before finally finding her original self.

Just as Shengli was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, a familiar voice came into her ears.

There is no lack of mystery and heroism, that is the Duke of York....

Chapter 122: Remember my name carefully, Zhou Xuan.

"It is not a good character to talk about others behind their backs, everyone."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

There was no longer the previous laughter and joy, and the atmosphere on the field turned from harmonious to another strange state.

It was different from the tense and passionate confrontation in the restaurant before.

Because of her arrival, the iron-blooded people who should have taken action or at least remained indifferent now looked at her with interest.

The look in his eyes was meaningful, as if he was looking at some kind of prey that had fallen into a trap and gone astray.

It actually made her hair stand on end and she shuddered.

In sharp contrast to the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls, the few people led by Shengli firmly protected Zhou Xuan.

He looked at her warily, at their close companion.

The Duke of York felt a little jealous.

"Put aside your guard, ladies of the royal family. I am not your enemy."

"As for my attitude towards Zhou Xuan, don't worry, I know what to do."

"I will not take any action until the outcome is decided."

"Determine the winner?"

Just when he was about to let down his guard, Shengli paid close attention again after hearing these words.

"It seems that you don't know the truth~"

The Duke of York suddenly smiled, his deep gaze turned straight back, he looked at Zhou Xuan, and spoke slowly.

"That's all right, my beautiful companion. You will know the truth in the future..."

Without further delay, the Duke of York stretched out his hand and gently moved away the victory that was blocking the two of them.

Then he took a step forward and came in front of Zhou Xuan.

Even if they met again, the Duke of York could not have imagined that it would be under such circumstances.

Compared to the maturity and steadiness he showed in military uniform, he was much more eye-catching in a dress uniform, looking handsome, elegant and graceful.

If he were paired with her who was also wearing an exquisite dress, they would not be a perfect match, but at least they would be a perfect match.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. This is how you can understand your opponent. The Duke of York made a decision.

"It's a night of beautiful flowers and a full moon. Now that we have good wine, how can we miss singing and dancing? Commander."

"I want to dance with you. What do you think?"

Although it was a soliciting tone, the pink-haired girl stretched out her hand as soon as the words fell.

With her palm facing down and the back of her hand facing up, she was just waiting for him to take her hand so that they could dance together.

Obviously he had no choice, but Zhou Xuan was not vague.

I am the kind of person who becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Since I have no choice, I will simply take your path and leave you with no way to go.

Responding with action, Zhou Xuan took decisive action and held her little hand.

"It's my pleasure, Miss York."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the Duke of York could react, Zhou Xuan took the lead and walked ahead, heading towards the dance floor.

This really caught her off guard. The Duke of York was at a loss for words in an instant.

Let him lead the way, you in front and I behind, it seems that the subordinate status of both of us has been made clear, not to mention the hands that are still tightly held together.

By the time they reacted, the two had already walked some distance away and were facing the curious gazes of many people.

"Hey! Human, let go of my hand quickly. I don't remember making any other requests other than inviting you to dance."

The Duke of York twisted his right hand and tried to loosen it hastily, but for some reason he couldn't break free from the warm grip of the young man in front of him.

He looked around, wanting to explain, but was stunned into silence when his eyes met those of a red figure.

That is the monarch, who should be their sister...

Zhou Xuan also saw it. When their eyes met, this was their second meeting.

It was a quick glimpse and no words were spoken along the way. Fortunately, the journey was not far and the Duke of York's embarrassing situation came to an end.

Regal and elegant, confident and calm, when their positions were no longer dominated by Zhou Xuan, her emotions calmed down again.

As a dance widely used around the world, ballroom dancing is naturally the main type chosen by the two.

Dancing always involves a certain degree of physical contact. At first, the Duke of York was a little uncomfortable with Zhou Xuan's touch.

As their footsteps came and went, slowly, they both got used to it.

Surprisingly, the two people with similar personalities have perfect cooperation in dancing.

Every movement, every step is so natural and graceful.

It is pleasing to the eye and makes people sigh.

"I didn't expect that you would have such accomplishments in dancing."

"Is your work usually quite easy? Or was it that before you took office, you were already a capable person specializing in this field?"

"To be honest, I'm beginning to be curious about your background."

Ignoring her hidden motives, Zhou Xuan continued to dance.

"I am really flattered to receive such high praise from you, Miss York."

Pretending to be caught off guard, Zhou Xuan's expression paused for a moment.

Then, as he spoke, the surprise on his face began to turn into relief.

"To be honest, I'm usually busy with official duties, and before today, I knew nothing about dancing techniques."

"Thanks to Bismarck and the others' patient guidance, I was able to present myself at today's party, which made Miss York laugh."

Unlike the previous confrontation, when trying a different approach, the Duke of York was able to quickly find the other party's shining points.

"You mean to say that you didn't have any previous dancing skills, nor did you work in a related industry, but you just learned it in the past two days?"

"good."

"That's interesting, actually."

If what Zhou Xuan said was true, then with such a talent for learning, he was qualified enough to be her opponent.

"Have you thought clearly about the bet in a month?"

"If this is just a momentary impulse, I can give you a chance to choose again."

"If you really mean it, then I will do my best to give you a clean defeat."

"But after that, you must consciously fulfill your bet, give up everything you have, and go as far as possible..."

Standing in Zhou Xuan's position, the Duke of York spoke in a gentle and persuasive manner, his bloodshot eyes full of teasing.

Although his qualifications as an opponent were clear, the girl never felt that she would lose.

At least in front of him, she must be confident.

Ever since the Duke of York discovered that his power was ineffective on Zhou Xuan, she has been trying to use words to give him a different kind of oppression.

He thought that such gentle words slowly revealing the deeper meaning hidden in his words would bring tremendous pressure to Zhou Xuan, thus making him want to retreat and revealing his true colors.

But she didn't want to repay her with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. In the next second, Zhou Xuan repeated her original words one by one and added a sentence at the end.

"I think Miss York should understand the meaning of offering me your honor as a knight."

"Similarly, I hope that Miss York will be more self-conscious afterwards. Otherwise, I don't mind fulfilling my promise myself."

"You should know that I have this ability."

The Duke of York wanted to suppress Zhou Xuan's momentum with words, but he unexpectedly was blocked by someone. He suddenly stopped.

A smile quietly bloomed on her face at this moment, and along with her response, it appeared in front of Zhou Xuan.

"I have to admit that your performance, both before and now, has exceeded my expectations."

"For the time being, I will treat you as my official opponent, even though you are just an insignificant human being."

"King George V-class battleship number three - Duke of York."

"This is my name. As my opponent, you should remember it well."

Leaving behind such an awkward remark, the Duke of York, having achieved his so-called probing purpose, turned and left the dance floor.

Not knowing where to go, her steps were somewhat hurried.

As Zhou Xuan was about to turn around and leave, the familiar figure in front of him appeared clearly.

She was wearing a luxurious white dress, and in the center of the dance floor, a white lotus blossomed from it.

The graceful lady smiled at the boy who was also in love, and spoke slowly, following her heart with a faint cry in her voice.

"I'm back, Commander."

Chapter 123: Flowers always bloom, the moon always round, people always stay

The most painful feeling in life is lovesickness.

Because of the suppressed emotions, the usually elegant face couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The girl just stared at him quietly with her hazy eyes. She was about to cry, but she smiled as much as possible.

After his emotions had calmed down and he was finally able to speak, Guanghui spoke slowly.

"Hehe, long time no see, Commander... Have you missed me during this time?"

"Guanghui, I miss you so much~"

Without any extra cheesy love words, Zhou Xuan responded to her gaze and walked slowly forward step by step.

A brief word of agreement can express the long-standing lovesickness in one's heart.

"me too."
