Daily life with the ship girl

"Admiral, you smell like someone else~"

As she spoke, Helena twisted Li Ran's waist in a corner where no one could see her, and then said:

"You are such a playboy, but I will forgive you this time."

Li Ran took a deep breath. Why are they talking about the taste? Could it be...

Li Ran reacted. He rubbed his aching waist and went upstairs.

Bismarck's eyes met Helena's at this moment, which made everyone nervous again.

"Welcome back, Bismarck." Helena walked forward with a smile and said naturally.

"Thank you." Bismarck was no longer nervous. She was not the type to hesitate, and she answered without the slightest unnatural tone.

Richelieu took a sip of tea and looked towards the kitchen. A trace of calmness flashed across his face, and he thought:

The glass door is not closed.

In the kitchen, Lexington gently scooped a spoonful of soup, tasted it lightly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

Admiral, do you think this is a sudden enlightenment or just an accident?

Never mind. It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s fine this way.

However, Li Ran, the person involved, had no idea that he almost entered into a Shura plot. At this time, Li Ran was walking into the bathroom with his spare clothes, whistling happily.

While taking a shower, Li Ran touched his lips and smiled happily:

"We finally kissed. I didn't expect to see such a shy side of her."

At the same time, on Island C, Pinghai, Kokang and others also planned to return to Hong Kong, and the geographical survey team had already completed the survey.

The person standing at the dock and in charge of related matters was the heroic head maid, Reputation.

Rodney was still as lively as ever. She looked at Pinghai staring at the sea, walked over to Pinghai, and said:

"Does Ping Hai want to be the admiral?"

Ping Hai looked up at the cloudless sky. She never hid her thoughts. The admiral had a very special meaning to her. Only the admiral knew the navy dream. She did not hide her worries in her tone and said bluntly:

"Well, I don't know if the Admiral is back yet. He should be in the port area in the next few days. It's been over a week. I'm worried."

Guo Kang watched Rodney and Ping Hai talking, and felt a little envious of Ping Hai for being able to express his thoughts in this way.

Reputation came over at this time and said in a cool and clear manner:

"Everyone, get ready to go back."

"I understand." Rodney replied, then took Pinghai's hand, and together they boarded the geographical expedition team's ship and left the C Island Pier.

Chapter 221: Slow but Not Stupid

Li Ran didn't know that Pinghai was also coming back today.

He was in the bathroom at this time. After taking a shower, he realized that there seemed to be something he didn't expect.

"What's going on?"

Li Ran thought for a while, but still had no clue, and sighed:

"Forget it, maybe I'm too tired."

After taking a shower, Li Ran changed into casual home clothes and returned to his room. He found that the furnishings in the room were not much different from before, except that there were more furniture.

He looked at his desk, where there were some books, all common sense books related to the admiral.

Li Ran looked at the books and smiled. Then he saw some smiley face stickers on the bookcase, which warmed his heart.

However, there wasn't much to stay in his room, after all, there were guests downstairs. Li Ran went back to his room to see if there was a hair dryer in his room.

After all, my hair has grown a lot in the past few months, and it is inevitable that I feel uncomfortable with wet hair after washing it.

Moreover, Li Ran was also very concerned about his stubble. Although he knew that they would not mind his unkempt appearance, he still had to pay attention to the change in his identity. He was not only the admiral, but also the boyfriend.

As he spoke, Li Ran touched his lips and smiled foolishly.

"That's great."

Li Ran was secretly happy for a while, then he cheered up. He found the hair dryer on the closet, dried his hair, and tidied his clothes, but didn't find a razor. He sighed, closed the door, and went downstairs.

"Lunch is ready. You were quick."

Li Ran looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, then saw Lexington wearing an apron and asked:

"Did you do all this?"

"How is it? Admiral, although I am not as good as you, I am also working hard to learn cooking skills."

"Thank you for your hard work, Helena. It's time to have dinner. Please help me call Firefly and the others."

Li Ran looked at Firefly and saw that they hadn't come back yet, then said to Helena.

Helena heard what Li Ran said and nodded:

"Got it Admiral, everyone take a break, I'll be busy now."

Leipzig was a little surprised. She thought Li Ran would be the kind of good-natured person who was reluctant to send his own ship girl to work. She didn't expect to see his leader's side.

Li Ran felt great after taking a shower, and then said to Emden and the others:

"Wait a moment, the meal will be served soon. I'm so sorry that you are my guests but I seem to be underserved."

Emden shook his head, then pushed up his glasses and said:

"No, Mr. Li's port is in a critical location right now. It seems that our visit has caused you trouble."

"That's not the case, Leipzig. Thank you for your hard work. It's all thanks to you and Emden along the way."

Leipzig couldn't stand Li Ran suddenly becoming so polite. She had sensed that something was wrong between Li Ran, Bismarck, and Nuremberg before returning to Xiguang Island. Now that Li Ran and Bismarck had resolved their misunderstanding, she simply diverted everyone's attention. In particular, when Li Ran and Bismarck came back hand in hand just now, the atmosphere was a little heavy and she felt a little disgusted. She couldn't help wanting to do something for Li Ran, so she said indifferently:

'"You are not straightforward at all. You are nagging me. I am hungry. When will dinner be served?"

"Leipzig, don't be so rude." Emden was a little angry. Leipzig was not like this originally. Why did they suddenly become so rude?

"It's okay, it's okay. I feel surprisingly relieved when she said that. Besides, my port doesn't have so many broken rules. Now everyone is taking a break. If you have guests, a few complaints will let me see if I'm not doing well enough. I can improve, right?"

"Li Ran, you're not angry at all?" Leipzig asked, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Why are you angry? Besides, I'm hungry too. U47, you guys should stop playing and help with some housework."

"Okay, Admiral." Z24 and others heard Li Ran's words, and then ran into the kitchen to help obediently.

"Uncle, uncle, I want to help too." Xiao Zhai also shouted at this time.

"Okay, Xiao Zhai is very sensible." Li Ran smiled and rubbed Xiao Zhai's head.

Emden saw this scene and noticed that Leipzig's eyes were always on Li Ran, so she sighed deeply.

Richelieu happened to be silent all the time, after all, Bismarck had been entertaining Emden and the others. She happened to see Emden's eyes at this moment, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised:

Admiral, several more people are about to fall for your tenderness. Oh, I'm so envious. Bismarck must have experienced something very romantic.

Saratoga had just left the garrison to relax out of spite, and before she knew it she had arrived at the dock. She looked at the sunlight above her head, unfolded her ship suit on the shore, and then launched her carrier-based aircraft.

"The Admiral is a playboy, and so is my sister. If we continue to tolerate this, we will lose our happiness. No, I have to help my sister come up with an idea."

Saratoga said this, and then discovered the flags of several geographical survey ships not far away through carrier-based aircraft. Although she was still a little angry, she saw that this fleet should be a signal that Pinghai and the others had returned. She hesitated for a moment, and while using carrier-based aircraft to escort them, she contacted Li Ran through the exclusive channel of the admiral network.

"Admiral? Ping Hai and the others are back."

When Li Ran answered the call, he heard Jia Jia's report, and then he hung up.

Li Ran sighed, then looked at Bismarck's inquiring eyes, thought for a moment and said:

"Pinghai and the others are back. Who of you would like to go with me to the dock to greet them?"

"I'll go." Richelieu, who had been silent all the time, said softly before Bismarck was about to speak.

"Well, Richelieu, come with me to greet them. Everyone, get ready. When they come back, we'll have dinner."

"Okay." Bismarck nodded, then met Richelieu's eyes. Richelieu just smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Bismarck felt that Richelieu had seen through her thoughts for some reason, so she gently shifted her gaze.

Lexington had just served the food on the table. With the help of Xiao Zhai and the others, she was much more efficient. She happened to see Li Ran and Richelieu leaving side by side, as well as Bismarck's back. The corners of her mouth slightly raised:

Admiral, you look very cunning.

……

Li Ran and Richelieu walked side by side on the forest path. The midday sun was quite strong, but the trees on both sides provided some shade. Li Ran always felt that Richelieu had something to say, but it might be that he was overthinking. He felt that it was a bit strange to walk like this, so he made small talk:

"Richelieu, you have worked hard these days."

"No, the admiral explained some things before he left, didn't he? We are just following his instructions."

"Richelieu, I didn't expect you to say that. I thought only Bismarck would say that."

"Is that so?" Richelieu said, half smiling.

"That's not very romantic. Admiral, can you tell me about your trip to Qiyun Port?"

"Sure, let me think about where to start."

"Don't worry, I'll slow down, Admiral. I want to be like Bismarck."

"Ah? Well, Richelieu, what did you say? Ha..."

"Nothing, just a joke, Admiral, let's talk about these things later."

Richelieu said this and walked ahead, leaving behind a back that made Li Ran puzzled. Are these words really a joke?

He didn't know that the unexpected development with Bismarck was actually a pile of unexpected accidents. Now, after hearing what Richelieu said, he realized that something was wrong.

Being slow doesn't mean he is really stupid.

Chapter 222: Lunch in Progress

Li Ran was somewhat disturbed by Richelieu's words. When he arrived at the dock, Pinghai and her friends' boat had not yet arrived.

He and Richelieu were not in a hurry. After finding Saratoga, Li Ran greeted them:

"Jia Jia, it's time for lunch. You can go back first. Leave this to me and Richelieu."

"Hmph~" Saratoga looked at Li Ran and Richelieu coming over. She wanted to say something, but saw Richelieu shook his head slightly and went back angrily.

Li Ran touched his nose and asked Richelieu:

"What's wrong with Jia Jia? Is he unhappy in the harbor? Did he have a conflict with someone?"

"It's okay, kid, there are just some things I can't figure out, don't worry, Admiral."

"Oh." Li Ran seemed to understand, but he didn't understand that he was the one who made Jia Jia angry. He didn't force himself to think about things he couldn't understand. Instead, he looked at the dock that had changed drastically and said:

"I've been away for about a week. The dock is getting more and more interesting. I wonder when it will be built like the Thunder Garrison."

"That day will come soon, Admiral. But you, how are you going to get around the port in the future? You have to think about it carefully."

"In the future?" Li Ran thought for a moment, then looked at some military-like things on the dock and asked:

"Let's not talk about that for now. I'll think about the future plan tonight. These facilities are for military use, right?"

"The Admiral is really perceptive. These are indeed military-use facilities. They are called shore-based support facilities. They were jointly built by the Rudo Fairy Tribe and the Azure Fairy Tribe to provide long-range artillery support. The coverage area has already radiated to Island A. By the way, there is something I want the Admiral to consider."

"whats the matter?"

"The shore-based support facilities are still short of transformation cores to complete the trial operation of the final key components. When we were chatting just now, Bismarck mentioned that there are some transformation cores coming back this time. I would like to ask the admiral whether these transformation cores should be used in these places in advance, or whether the shore-based support facilities should be put aside for the time being."

"As for shore-based support facilities, they should be special support measures for emergencies, so they should be given priority. But when you said that they cover Island A, did you consider the safety of the routes in and out of our jurisdiction?"

"The sea area under our jurisdiction? The admiral seems to have realized it. Yes, Xiguang Island is now gradually able to control the three islands, so I think the port area will inevitably have to communicate with the outside world in the future to improve the safety level of the route as soon as possible.

The admiral may not know the route safety level. Simply put, it is the control level of the garrison over the routes in its port area. This is also a hard indicator that determines the degree of trust that merchants have in a garrison. "

Li Ran was a little surprised when he heard Richelieu say this. He originally thought that only Bismarck would talk about work so seriously. He didn't expect that Richelieu, who was set as a romantic in the game, would be so handsome when he was serious.

"Admiral? Are you listening?"

"Ah, yes. Since it concerns the future development of the port area, the route issue should indeed be considered first in advance."

"Woo woo woo~" At this time, the sound of a ship's horn was heard, and Richelieu had to stop reporting her work. She looked at Li Ran and saw that she was not in the mood to listen to her report, so she sighed.

Li Ran said to Richelieu:
