The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

After walking like this for a while, the girl felt something was wrong. Because she was not tall, she had to raise her hand slightly when holding hands. It was fine at first, but later she always felt awkward.

I wanted to ignore it, but I could feel eyes scanning me from all directions.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then pulled her hand away. "Just walk over slowly."

Huang Chen nodded as well. He also realized that he and Yan Zhan holding hands didn't look like a couple in love, but rather like an adult with a child.

He was fine, but he felt a little embarrassed for Yan Zhan, and was too embarrassed to let go like that, for fear that the girl would misunderstand.

The girl let go on her own initiative, which made him feel relieved.

War-weary walked silently, not knowing what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he felt a little melancholy. "I know, Commander. Compared to my sisters, my body shape does seem a bit..."

Huang Chen was stunned, and couldn't help but rub the girl's head with a smile. If nothing else, at least with Yan Zhan's height, patting the head was quite easy for him. "Don't think too much, I haven't said anything yet."

"Although I didn't say it, but..." War-weary raised his head, with only one meaning in his eyes: Do I need you to say this kind of thing?

Huang Chen immediately exerted force with his hands, pressing the girl's head down, and continued, "Yan Zhan, why do you like me?"

"Eh?" War-weary was stunned. "Because of the commander, it's the commander?"

"Is that so? Isn't it because of my tall and handsome appearance?" Huang Chen said with a smile.

The girl paused, and immediately understood what the commander meant.

She didn't like the commander because of his appearance and body shape, so how could the commander like her because of his appearance and body shape?

She paused at this thought, feeling that the commander's words made sense. Why hadn't she thought of this before? Yet, she felt vaguely that something was amiss.

"Appearance and body shape are only one aspect of a person, just like personality and inner qualities, they together make up the individual that is War-weary."

"I like War-weary, so naturally I like everything about War-weary, whether it's external or internal, whether it's body shape or personality, I like them all. Or rather—"

He changed the subject.

"If Warspite changed his appearance, would he still be Warspite? Your body shape isn't a flaw, it's just your characteristic. So stop worrying about it."

Huang Chen finished speaking and rubbed the girl's head again.

War-weary's face turned a little red. She was rarely shy, but perhaps the commander's loud words "I like War-weary" just now made her think of something.

The big garden was not far from the basketball hall, and the two arrived there in about ten minutes.

It was still the same as usual, with shrubs trimmed into various geometric shapes, the ground paved with stone bricks, and several pavilions visible from afar, hidden among the tall and short trees.

A variety of brightly colored flowers grew in the haystacks. Some areas were well-maintained, appearing quite neat and clean, while others were left unattended and natural, exuding a sense of messy beauty.

Although it is a large garden, it is divided into several areas with different styles by undulating shrubs.

Huang Chen followed Yan Zhan and saw many maids and girls coming and going along the way, making the garden much more lively than before.

Soon the two arrived at their destination, a large pavilion that could accommodate more than a dozen people. It was furnished with tables and chairs, covered with lace-trimmed tablecloths, and displayed brightly colored flower arrangements, three-tiered towers, and beautiful bone china teacups.

Many girls were sitting and chatting at the tea tables. Elizabeth was leaning against a large table, her face in one hand and her other hand tapping on the table in boredom.

Then, his eyes swept across the path, and he suddenly laughed, "Warspite has finally arrived, and... and my, my husband... servants!"

The girl paused.

"Oh! My retainer is here too!" Yingyong, who was sitting next to him, also laughed, suddenly realizing, "So you went to invite your retainer? That's really thoughtful of you."

"He's not your squire!" Elizabeth frowned and glared at Heroic, then looked at Warspite. "So you're inviting servants? I get it."

Yingyong puffed out his lips and said, "You are obviously calling him a servant, so why can't I call him a attendant?"

She was about to say something when she saw Elizabeth turn around and glare at her again.

This made her shrink her neck.

It's scary. Elizabeth has become so scary recently! What on earth happened? It feels completely different from before.

She looked at the dessert on the three-layer tower angrily, and suddenly took the cream cup in front of her, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

Humph, I just won’t have afternoon tea according to the rules today. Elizabeth must be angry and helpless now!

Feeling the sweet taste in her mouth, she felt the stuffiness in her heart disappear.

“It’s not an invitation…”

"Yes, it was Warspite who invited me here. Actually, I have wanted to attend such an afternoon tea for a long time."

War-weary shook his head and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Huang Chen, who walked forward and prepared to find a place to sit down. Cheshire, who had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, immediately raised his hand, "Here, here, dear!"

Huang Chen hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that Cheshire should not be invited to afternoon tea next time.

She held a spoon in her hand and watched the girls greet the commander with smiles on their faces. Even the shameless Guanghui walked up and hugged the commander's arm.

He attempted to defeat the commander with the magnificent armor on his chest.

His eyes narrowed immediately, it seemed that the Guanghui sisters could not be invited either.

And Neptune is not good, London Sisters is not good, Hood is not good...

Her eyes scanned them one by one, and finally landed on Yingyong.

Is she the only one who can do it?

...No, not even bravery!

Thinking of this, Elizabeth couldn't help but glared at War-weary. "Why did you invite my husband over? He's obviously my husband!"

War-weary was completely confused...completely bewildered. What happened to His Majesty?

Chapter 587 This scone was made by me

Huang Chen sat to the left of Cheshire, and to his left was London.

He had always felt that London had a very varied temperament.

The first time I saw the girl in the garden doesn’t count. When I met her later in the kitchen, the girl was wearing an apron and had the temperament of an older sister.

The next few times I met the girl on the island, she was wearing a blue and white sailor suit and half-frame glasses, and looked a bit like a schoolgirl.

But the London in front of me was wearing a white gauze dress, and for some reason she had a wife-like feeling, which was really weird.

He raised his hand and greeted the girl, and London responded with a smile. The elegant look of him holding the teacup made Huang Chen tremble all over. The change in his temperament was too great.

Fortunately, Cheshire next to him still looks the same.

The girl held Huang Chen's arm, and seemed to have endless things to say. She kept talking about this and that, introducing her recent daily life.

Something like joining a certain club, going to Sakura Empire and meeting a real cat-eared girl, and actually rubbing her hands.

The other girls also joined in the chat with laughter, like what game Lord Neptune played with the little guy yesterday, Guanghui complained that it was a pity that Indomitable didn't come to the afternoon tea today.

Or maybe Hood explained some rumors he heard from Area C1. It was clear that Enterprise only learned about the pirate news when he returned in the morning, but no one knew how Hood knew it. He explained it with a mysterious look on his face, adding more details.

But the girls just fell for it. It was okay for Silly White and Brave, it was okay for Cheshire and Neptune, but even Warspite and Glorious showed serious expressions. Do you believe it?

Before we knew it, afternoon tea had begun. After all, it wasn't a competition where the referee would fire a starting gun at the iron plate before it started.

So there is nothing special about afternoon tea. It is just a way to eat some snacks in the afternoon, fill your stomach, and chat with people you know.

Huang Chen was not good at talking, so he seldom spoke. He just held his teacup and listened to the girls chatting with curiosity.

But no one cared. Everyone had their own strengths and preferences, even the commander, and afternoon tea was mainly about creating a relaxing atmosphere.

He took a sip of tea, diverting his attention from Hood's story and looking at the three-story tower beside him.

"Would you like to try it? This scone was made by me."

Just as he was choosing, Shabai's somewhat nervous voice suddenly came from beside him.

Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked up at where Elizabeth was before. London was waving playfully, and for a moment she looked a bit like a schoolgirl again.

He turned his head and looked to his left. Sha Bai was sitting beside him, holding a teacup in her hand, her eyes fixed on the three-story tower in front of her. Her face had a dull expression, as if the words just now were not said by her.

The little face did not look as proud as usual, but rather a little nervous.

Huang Chen felt inexplicably amused and raised his hand, reaching towards the three-story tower.

As expected, Elizabeth's attention was immediately drawn to it.

He pointed at the scone. "This one."

"Yeah." Shabai nodded gently, then leaned over and said in a whisper, "No one knows. Don't tell anyone."

Huang Chen picked up a scone and thought to himself, you came over to me and acted so shyly, making such a loud and weird noise, it would be hard for others not to notice, right?

But it’s hard to guess that this cookie is the work of Sha Bai.

After all, when talking about Shabai and dim sum, the only verb that comes to mind is "eat".

There is a phrase called "only idiots eat cookies". As for "only idiots make desserts", most people wouldn't even dare to think about it.

He looked at the cookies in his hand. They looked delicious and made his mouth water. But after learning that they were the work of Sha Bai, he was inexplicably hesitant.

He looked around and saw Shengli also putting a scone into his mouth. He immediately felt relieved and stuffed the scone into his mouth.

Sweet and soft, the taste is unexpectedly good, "Delicious!"

He gave a thumbs up.

A smile appeared on the silly white face, a smug smile that Huang Chen was familiar with. The girl leaned close to Huang Chen's ear and said, "In fact, only this plate of scones was made by the king. The others were made by Befa."

"Uh..." Huang Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His sneak peek at Shengli was discovered.

He glanced at the smug Silly White and deliberately put on a stern face, "If you keep saying that, I'll have to invite everyone to taste your work."

Elizabeth sat back down immediately, and after a moment, she whispered as if explaining, "Because Warspite wasn't here today, I learned how to make scones from Belfar. It looks quite difficult, but it's actually quite easy to get started."

"Then why don't you dare let everyone know that you did it?"

"It is only when no one knows about it that my craftsmanship can be demonstrated." Perhaps because of Huang Chen's praise just now, Elizabeth seemed even more proud and no longer shy as before.

This is Huang Chen's stupidity.

He smiled and rubbed the girl's head. "Very good. At least in the scones, you can be a master."

"Hehe." Silly Bai smiled complacently, then looked at him expectantly, "Then eat more."

"Okay." Huang Chen smiled and picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. He was not really complimenting the girl. This scone was indeed good. It tasted exactly the same as the one made by Befa next to it. There was no difference at all.

"Have you learned this before?"

"No, today was my first attempt, but it wasn't as successful as expected. It seems like you, your servant, are quite lucky." Shabai shook his head, his legs hanging in the air, shaking unconsciously.

Huang Chen nodded, picked up a scone and took a bite. Looking at the fluffy little hole inside, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you make this?"

"It's very simple. Roll out the dough, then use a round mold to press out round cakes. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes."

Huang Chen nodded and suddenly realized something was wrong. How could you make desserts directly starting from the dough? What about the previous steps?

"Gone?"

"Then you can eat it, or you can put some cream in it." Shabai asked doubtfully.

"Dough, your dough, where does it come from?" Huang Chen reminded.

"The dough... Oh, the dough was prepared by Befa. I'm not sure where she got it from." Silly Bai scratched his head. "Any other questions?"

Huang Chen and the girl looked at each other for twenty seconds, and when he was sure that the girl was not being perfunctory, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Isn’t this the dessert made by Befa? No wonder it tastes exactly the same.

He shook his head and threw the remaining half of the scone into his mouth. "Nothing. This scone is pretty good."

Chapter 588 Digestion

Soon afternoon tea was over.

Of course, it wasn't like Huang Chen just waved his hand and informed everyone that good times are always short.

But the girls kept remembering that they had other things to do and left one by one.

Elizabeth seemed very excited because Huang Chen praised the cake she made, and she left quickly with a look of war-weariness and bravery.

Then it was Hood's turn. The girl took a break from her busy schedule and went back to work.

Next came London and her sister, and then Tejas.

The lively atmosphere died down and afternoon tea ended.
