I'm in the azure sky, and I have an anti-fraud app.

spa.

"Commander, isn't this place nice?"

"When Yixian told me on the plane that we had discovered hot springs here, I didn't take it seriously at first, but it turns out it's true."

Long Wu sat in Li Wei's lap, looking up: "Commander probably didn't expect there to be a hot spring on this mountaintop, did he?"

Li Wei: "Yes, Zhenhai said that she chose this place on a whim, but it seems that's not the case now."

Li Wei gestured for Long Wu to step back a little, as he was now in a perfect position to hold him in place: "Phew... But let's not talk about that anymore. After dinner, a soak in the hot springs would be really nice."

Long Wu lowered his head, confirmed the location, and then secretly grabbed the commander's main cannon: "Commander, are we really here to see the stars?"

Li Wei hugged Long Wu from behind and kissed her red earlobe: "What do you think?"

Long Wu pouted: "I don't think it looks like it."

"Oh? What doesn't it resemble?" Li Wei reached out from behind, pretending to hold Long Wu in place to prevent her from drifting away, but actually feeling the texture of Long Wu's tiny cotton candy: "What do you think it resembles?"

"The Commander is like he's eating me up..." Longwu couldn't help but kiss him, and soon received an even more intense response. Li Wei, who could only be bullied in front of the three ship girls, finally got her revenge in front of Longwu. Longwu was so dizzy from the kiss that he couldn't even recognize which constellation the stars in the sky belonged to.

"Does Long Wu want to be eaten by me?" Li Wei had already begun to properly admire Long Wu's swimsuit: "Long Wu's swimsuit is very nice, and it seems to change with the water temperature. Was it specially prepared for this?"

"Yeah, that's right..." The little girl was already dizzy from the double attack of the hot spring and kisses, and accidentally let slip: "Zhenhai said that he found a hot spring here, so he told me in advance to prepare my swimsuit."

While exploring the outer perimeter of Longwu's core module, Li Wei continued to ask, "So when did they tell you that?"

“Hmm…it’s been a while now…” Unlike Li Wei, Long Wu didn’t have the advantage of the terrain. The commander’s exploration of the core module made Long Wu restless: “Commander…”

Li Wei stopped hanging on Long Wu and helped her secure her core module: "Come here."

The little girl covered her mouth: "Mmm..."

Li Wei: "How about this reward for Long Wu's hard work today?"

Long Wu's beautiful eyes were already glazed over: "The Commander didn't give us any possibility of a second answer, did he?"

Li Wei has already launched a major attack on Longwu's core module: "Indeed, then my dear little Longwu, are you just going to surrender like this?"

Long Wu shook his head, trying to clear his head a little, but was quickly bombarded with questions again, leaving him dizzy and disoriented: "Ugh...no...I won't surrender..."

Li Wei: "If you don't surrender, then you won't be able to have a midnight snack tonight..."

“The Commander is my midnight snack…”; Long Wu said with his last shred of consciousness, “Commander, look at the stars in the sky…”

"Ok?"

"Doesn't it look like Zhenhai and the others are looking into our eyes?"

Li Wei stood up: "...I don't think those look like eyes, they look more like you're provoking me."

Long Wu was picked up by Li Wei, his short legs unable to find a foothold in the air: "No! Ee-ah! How dare I provoke the Commander!"

"I see you are. Not only do you want to provoke me, but you want to provoke me a few more times, right?" Li Wei not only wanted to attack the core compartment of the Dragon Warrior, but also its cargo hold. After all, the little loli was not a seasoned ship girl like Zhenhai, and she was not so adept at dealing with the commander's attacks.

"No, I didn't... Eeya!"

"It's too late to say anything now!" Li Wei easily destroyed the core compartment and cargo hold of the Dragon Warrior. Perhaps because he had eaten too much nourishing food that night, Li Wei felt that he still had unlimited energy. His in-depth communication with the three ship girls earlier did not hinder his current attack at all.

Long Wu looked at the stars, his mind filled with thoughts of the commander's main cannon and happiness, and finally rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Well……"

Name: Long Wu

Identity: Little Chef of the Eastern Empire, Little Dragon Girl

Personality: reserved, enthusiastic

Number of times destroyed: 112

Weaknesses: Core cabin, cargo hold, and a desire to be praised for cooking delicious meals.

Status: Knocked unconscious by the commander's fierce attack in the hot spring.

Last time I was defeated: I was unconsciously defeated while cooking, listening to the sounds coming from inside the tent.

……

in the tent.

When Yixian saw Li Wei carrying Longwu back, she showed no surprise. She took Longwu and placed her on her bed, changing her into clean clothes: "So, Longwu is still conscious?"

With Zhenhai's help, Li Wei changed into clean clothes: "Hmm... I should be able to get it after resting for a while."

Alfredo leaned closer: "Commander, so... are we going to watch the sunrise again tomorrow?"

Li Wei nodded: "See! We have to get up early tomorrow, so let's get some rest."

Binjiang came over and patted Longwu's little head. Hearing Longwu still talking non-stop, he couldn't help but laugh and cry: "The commander is really something. He knows that Longwu is not like us, but he still hits him so hard."

"Hehehe..." Li Wei was a little embarrassed: "I ate too much nourishing food tonight, and I couldn't stop myself for a while."

"Oh?"

The three ship girls simultaneously caught the key phrase: "Commander, what did you say?"

Knowing he was in deep trouble, Li Wei quickly changed his tune: "I said it's getting late, and we need to watch the sunrise tomorrow, so let's all get some rest."

Zhenhai was already sitting by Li Wei's bedside: "I overheard the Commander saying that he ate too much nourishing food tonight and needs the sisters to help him digest it~"

Now it was Li Wei's turn to be terrified: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Yi Xian had already settled Long Wu in, and sat down on the other side, blocking Li Wei's escape route: "Hehe, Commander, you should be willing to take responsibility~"

Chapter 417 The Company: Wait! Sister, what are you doing in front of me!

A week has passed quietly.

When Li Wei and his group returned to their home port, it was already mid-September. Because this trip was on the itinerary, the ship girls didn't experience the panic they felt when their commander disappeared for a week. However, when Zhenhai and the others returned, the ship girls scrutinized their fingers, trying to find out if anyone had obtained a ring.

After they saw no trace of the glittering ring, the ship girls all breathed a sigh of relief.

Alfredo's travelogue of the week became a must-watch video for the ship girls. Most of them were captivated by the magnificent scenery in the video, while only a small number of them tried to find clues in the video to prove that the commander had been completely taken advantage of.

—Although they knew this was inevitable, seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of the ship girls like Zhenhai still made them voic their envy.

Statements like "I really want to go on a trip with the Commander" and "Commander, let's elope next time" are everywhere on the internet.

"commander."

In his office, Yi Xian handed a document to Li Wei: "Commander, this is a document from Donghuang. Please take a look."

Li Wei took the document: "I've already gone on a trip this month, so I can't travel any further."

Yi Xian chuckled: "Of course I know, but this isn't a new travel itinerary."

"Oh?" Li Wei then began to flip through the pages: "Let me see what it is... The addition of new ship girls, you can take charge of it."

"Yes."

"They will arrive at the port in three days. When they arrive, you can show them around the port and help them integrate into the environment." Li Wei thought of Fei Yun and the other kids: "Hmm... Also, keep an eye on Fei Yun and Fu Shun, don't let them lead the children astray."

Yi Xian, the ninja, smiled and said, "Understood. Commander, you can rest assured that I will handle it."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now." Li Wei lowered his head and continued dealing with the backlog of official business. The Enterprise and Yorktown had indeed handled things quite well over the past week or so, but some matters involving the Commander's authority were still presented to him by the Enterprise for a second round of screening, requiring him to make a decision.

Yi Xian didn't leave: "Commander..."

Li Wei looked up: "Is there anything else?"

Yi Xian lifted her white-stockinged feet: "Commander, will you mind that I didn't wear the ring you gave me when I came back?"

Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Don't say that, how could I mind? Isn't this something we discussed beforehand?"

“The outside is still not as lively as the home port. You don’t want Zhenhai to have any grudges, so it’s understandable that you wait until next month to get together.”

Yi Xian's feet moved swiftly, her practiced movements causing Li Wei to gasp. The girl smiled gently, "That's good... I was wondering if this would upset the Commander, or make him think I didn't value his feelings."

"I thought about it again and again, but I still felt uneasy, so..."

Li Wei: "I'm still worried that you might feel it's unfair."

Yi Xian: "I'm already very lucky, why would I care about these things?"

"However... I'm not entirely sure what Zhenhai will think this time."

"Then think about it the other way around. If Zhenhai clearly got the ring first, but wanted to share it with you and consummate the marriage at the same time, would you feel that was unfair?"

Li Wei tried to restrain Yi Xian's mischievous milk ice cream, but Yi Xian's skills had been honed over the past week, and with the "hostage" from the commander at his feet, he was no match for her.

"Of course I wouldn't..." Yi Xian revealed a happy expression: "Being able to obtain the ring is already enviable enough, how could I dare to ask for more?"

“The more you say that, the more I feel indebted to you.” Li Wei gave a wry smile: “Even the honeymoon that should have been yours alone was divided among the four of you. It’s not fair to you.”

Yi Xian felt the dawn of victory: "Hehe, this is enough. It's much better for everyone to be together and have a good time than to have a few more in-depth exchanges."

"Phew..." Li Wei sighed with satisfaction: "As long as it's your own decision, I won't interfere. You can wear the ring if you want, no problem, don't worry about anything else. This is my port, and when I give the order, no one dares to say anything."

Yi Xian slipped her still-warm milk ice cream into her high heels and smiled, "I know, Commander... oh no, at this point I should call you, husband, hmm~"

……

Port Area Hospital.

Levi pushed open the door to Belfast's room, looking at the scene inside with a somewhat dazed expression: "Belfast?"

In a daze, he seemed to see his relatives from his past life knitting sweaters for him under the dim light—although that was actually almost thirty years ago.

Belfast put down the sweater in her hands and looked up: "Master, you've finally deigned to come back!"

Li Wei snapped out of his reverie, ignoring the slight hint of jealousy in Belfast's tone, his attention completely focused on the sweater being knitted: "What are you doing...?"

Belfast picked up the sweater: "How is it? Does it look good?"

The small sweater prominently features a family of three: Belfast, Levi, and their daughter, Belfast.

Li Wei: "...No, why are you knitting a sweater here?"

Belfast immediately put on a pitiful expression: "I'm so bored, I have nothing to do, and they won't let me go out to keep watch... Master, darling, please let me go out to work for a few days. All I do here is eat, drink, and sleep. It's so boring."

Levi hadn't expected Belfast to act so coquettishly towards him, and he almost softened and let her go to work. Fortunately, he quickly realized what he meant: "That's not what I meant. I meant...why do you know how to knit?"

Belfast, seeing that she could no longer deceive everyone, could only answer Li Wei's second question: "I learned this from the Eastern Huang ship girls. They said that according to the Eastern Huang tradition, mothers would knit clothes called sweaters for their children to express their love for them."

Li Wei: "...That's true, but aren't there tons of clothes available in the port area?"

Belfast unfolded the pattern on the sweater again: "But the meaning and feeling are different. It's different for little Belfast, and also... for me."

"To be honest, although it's been more than two months now, I haven't felt anything at all. The only thing is that the test report says there are indeed new ship girls being conceived in my mental cube." Belfast's face glowed with maternal warmth: "So I use this method to remind myself."

Levi embraced Belfast.

"If you're really bored, why don't you go help the company?" He thought for a moment. "Maybe you ship girls won't be burdened or dragged down, so start with the lightest mental work and find something to do."

Belfast's face lit up with surprise: "Yes!"

"besides……"

"What else?"

“Honey, it’s been over two months…”

Since learning that Belfast was pregnant with baby Belfast, Levi had not had any in-depth conversations with her, which was probably a major reason why she couldn't bear the loneliness.

Li Wei shook his head: "The core module is still unusable. To ensure safety, the cargo hold is also unusable."

Belfast: "Then at least let me try some..."

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask the doctor in a bit. If the doctor doesn't mind, I can help you relieve the pain a little."

Belfast said quietly, "I always had a feeling that the doctor would find some reason to get his beloved ammunition first."

Li Wei: "...Well, there's nothing we can do about it, so this is the only way."

Belfast let out a loud sigh.

She suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, didn't you give Yixian a ring, darling?"

Li Wei: "How did you know?"

Belfast: "After all, I was the first ship girl to receive the ring, and I'm all too familiar with that blissful smile. But... why didn't I see it on her hand?"

Li Wei explained the reason simply.

Belfast: "I see... I didn't expect it to be postponed for this reason... But it also seems to indicate that she doesn't want Xiao Yixian to disrupt her rhythm?"
