My ship girl setup is off...

Page 35

After saying that, Binjiang took out a bag of packaged sunflower seeds from his ship equipment and slowly cracked them open, savoring the fun. What's the point of choosing? Nothing beats watching the fun.

"Alright, Commander, show some manly spirit. You're a man of your word. You have no way out now," Haiqi nudged Zheng Ri with his elbow, urging him on.

"Alright, since you've all said so, although Ying Rui and Zhao He both performed well, for me, the best are Hai Tian and Hai Qi."

Knowing he had no way out, Zheng Ri had no choice but to declare the champion as he wished, while placing his hands on Hai Tian and Hai Qi's heads and patting them back and forth as a reward.

"Hey sister, we're the champions!"

"Oh dear, we lost~ Our Zhaohe is going to cry. Commander, you let Zhaohe down."

Looking at the excited Hai Tian and Hai Qi, Ying Rui said in a tearful voice, then looked at Zhao He, who looked somewhat disappointed, and said something that triggered her emotions.

"Ying Rui, what nonsense are you spouting again?! Honestly, I don't know what you're thinking all day long."

Seeing Ying Rui being scolded but seemingly unharmed, everyone couldn't help but laugh. After all, it's rare for a younger sister to bully her older sister. At the same time, Hai Qi gave the sea angel a meaningful look.

As everyone knows, there are prizes for the champion, otherwise what's the point of being a champion? Then Haitian blushed and looked at Zheng Ri, extending another invitation.

“Commander... Now that I have won the championship, I would like to invite you to my room to see some of my private ancient poems. Would you like to come and read them with me?”

Hai Tian leaned against Zheng Ri's chest, resting her head on his shoulder, gazing at him tenderly with her watery eyes filled with his reflection. Besides, the timing was just wrong.

"Well, so that's what you were thinking, Haitian. Now you've finally revealed your true intentions. My answer is: With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

Hearing Haitian's invitation, Zheng Ri couldn't help but smile. But looking at Haitian's appearance and the figure she had just sung for him, Zheng Ri slowly put his left arm around her waist, looked straight at her, and gave her a satisfactory answer.

"Commander, how annoying~, I'm not your wife yet, at least not tonight..."

Hearing his words, Haitian felt a surge of happiness. She then playfully nudged him a few times with her elbow, but couldn't bring herself to use too much force. Afterward, she nestled against his chest and leaned against him completely.

"Ah, congratulations to Haitan!"

Congratulations, Sister Haitian!

The ship girls all offered their blessings to Haitian for winning the commander's hand, applauding non-stop. They were practically throwing confetti. While Haitian was immersed in this scene, Zheng Ri suddenly remembered something and then looked at his wife, Yi Xian.

"Hehe, Commander, you don't need to look after me. This is a major matter for you, and Yixian can't make decisions for you."

Yixian, who was looking at Zhengri, smiled and said to him, although she was happy that her husband was looking at her, she still felt...

It's a little bit of a pity; it would be better if he had asked himself.

"Commander, don't just laugh at the new recruits while ignoring the old ones' tears!"

Zhenhai stared at Zheng Ri, giving him a reminder. After all, this kind of thing was all too common. It wasn't uncommon for people to ignore the old ship girls after building new ones.

"How could that be? After all, you are my wives too, and of course, Hai Tian in my arms is one as well. It's just not tonight."

Zheng Ri answered sincerely, saying that his wife would never do such a thing, and then looked at Hai Tian in his arms. She was so beautiful, how could he bear to part with her?

"Hehe, then I'll have to prepare some wedding gifts and red decorations for tonight. Oh dear, I forgot this is my sister's occasion. I should get down. By the way, Commander, have you prepared the betrothal gifts?"

Haiqi teased her sister before realizing she was still in the commander's arms. That wouldn't do; she couldn't steal his thunder. So Haiqi jumped down and looked at Zhengri. In Donghuang, there was a dowry for marriage.

"It's alright, what kind of dowry does Haitian want? Buy it! We can buy anything!"

With Haiqi saying this, Zheng Ri wasn't worried at all. After all, having food in his bag meant he wasn't worried. Although it was all given to him by Plymouth and Aunt Saint, they were family, so he wasn't ashamed.

That's the strange thing about it; there's still hope it won't be an exorbitant bride price.

"Hmm... I'd like the Commander to recite a poem about love for me, and this too..."

Since Haiqi got down, Haitian took the opportunity to occupy Zhengri's lap, burying his head in Zhengri's neck and telling him about the "bride price" he wanted.

She even showed him her right hand, looking at the empty space on her ring finger, and didn't she feel like something was missing?

"Of course, I'll definitely give it to you. Is that all you're asking for?"

Listening to the dowry from Haitian, is that all? What does it mean to be a virtuous wife and loving mother? This is what it means to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"And...and also, I want to bring Haiqi along."

Hai Tian closed her eyes, not daring to see the other ship girls' expressions—first shock, then mockery. After all, it was only natural for the older sister to marry the younger sister.

Chapter 112 Thinking Too Much Isn't a Good Thing

"Hey~ what are you guys doing?"

"Hmm? Commander, you're awake?"

As Zheng Ri emerged from Yi Xian's bedroom, he looked at the living room where red decorations were being put up and someone was folding paper by hand, and asked them a question.

"Not today."

Yixian was folding paper on the sofa.

"what happened?"

It was only when Yi Xian seemed a little off that I noticed her eyes; there was no particular emotional fluctuation.

"Alright, Commander."

Seeing the slight regret on Yixian's face and everyone's efforts to decorate the house, Yixian thought of the past.

"Okay~, Yixian, I know what you're thinking, so I'll treat it as a wedding anniversary then."

Zheng Ri reached out and gently stroked Yi Xian's smooth, long black hair. There was no way around it; he could always find motivation no matter what he was doing.

"is it?"

The promise I made to myself on the day of the ceremony.

"But Commander, why are you out here?"

Speaking of this, Yi Xian couldn't help but blush. The two of them were on the same level, and there was a certain sense of taboo between them.

"I didn't expect you to be curious about this too, Yixian."

Zheng Ri suddenly felt that Yi Xian was starting to deviate from his impression of her, but this was a good thing, as the current Yi Xian was...

She is a living, breathing person; you can't judge her by stereotypes.

"Slightly, a little bit..."

"how to say"

Zheng Ri expressed his feelings to Yi Xian. Hai Tian was mainly because he knew her from his time in Azur Lane, since he only knew her as a ship girl who liked to travel and hear rumors.

While listening to Zheng Ri's heartfelt words, Yi Xian kept folding paper in her hands; this must be the "sage mode" they were talking about in the group chat.

"Commander, you know, for us ship girls..."

Yi Xian offered Zheng Ri some psychological advice, telling him not to overthink things.

The remaining unresolved issue is the internal conflict among the ship girls.

"Since you've put it that way, Yixian, I'll definitely let Haitian and Haiqi go together."

Listening to Yixian's advice, where are the twin sisters?

"Ok?"

Having learned of the commander's thoughts, Yi Xian felt relieved and asked him a question.

"Well, everyone knows her personality."

"In that case..."

Yixian smiled and said to Zhengri, while also putting away the folded red origami on the table, preparing to hand it to Binjiang and the others, as she still had some other things to take care of.

“Yixian,” Zheng Ri coughed, then spoke with a hint of aggression in his eyes.

"Yixian, when I woke up, my mind was filled with images of you, so..."

Now that I think about it, I realize how really bad I am.

"...Since my husband has said so..."

After saying that, Yixian pulled Zhengri to sit on the sofa, squatted down, crawled under the table, spread his legs, and untied them. She then gathered her long hair behind her ear and immediately fulfilled her necessary responsibilities as a wife.

Chapter 113 I feel like you're acting strange.

"Commander? What brings you here?"

Zheng Ri entered another room and saw a couplet that read "Happy Marriage". He then saw Ying Rui and Zhao He studying how to write the next part. Ying Rui greeted him, while Zhao He secretly glanced at him.

"Well, I just came to check on how my ship girls who didn't get first place are doing. They wrote really well!"

Zheng Ri came to Zhao He's side and looked at the characters she wrote with a brush, which were neat and pleasing to the eye. He also looked at her with a smile.

"Of course! Even if my ship equipment isn't the calligraphy brush type, I'm still Yingrui's older sister. Drawing a simple couplet is a piece of cake for me, isn't it? Besides, weren't you discussing things with Haitian and Haiqi? It's nothing to me..."

Faced with Zheng Ri's praise, Zhao He accepted it without hesitation, while looking at him with mixed feelings. He was happy that Zheng Ri cared about him, but also a little awkward.

"Commander, let me tell you, before you came, Zhaohe told me that it was a pity that he had practiced dancing for so long for you, and now he couldn't even catch your eye."

As if remembering something, Ying Rui put down his brush, then came to Zheng Ri's ear, leaned his head close to his, and spoke to him at close range, his warm breath brushing against Zheng Ri's ear, which was a little sensitive.

"Ying Rui, don't talk nonsense!"

Watching Ying Rui run up to him and chat with the commander, Zhao He felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do about his sister.

However, Zheng Ri did take it to heart. After all, Zhao He was currently acting arrogantly, saying that nothing had happened, but his displeasure was written all over his face.

"It's okay, watch me."

Zheng Ri had already come up with a solution. His own ship girls were nothing more than a few things to deal with; a little coaxing and care would suffice. So Zheng Ri sat down next to Zhao He, wearing what he considered to be a very kind and friendly smile.

"What are you doing? You seem strange right now..."

Zhaohe had no objection to Zheng Ri sitting next to him, but Zheng Ri's eerie smile made people want to leave, yet Zhaohe did not move an inch.

"What do you think I'm here for? I'm here to check on you, my little Zhaohe."

"Whoa! What are you doing!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zheng Ri reached his hands to Zhao He's waist and knees, picked her up, and then, amidst her struggles, placed her on his lap. He placed his hands on her waist and stroked her head gently.

"Commander, today is the day you and Haitian made your vow, and now you're actually hugging Zhaohe. What will Haitian think if he finds out?"

Although Ying Rui had already guessed Zheng Ri's behavior, she really didn't expect him to do it this way, so she couldn't help but tease him, saying that it was really delightful to see the person she loved most hugging her sister.

"It's okay, she won't mind if you tell her."

Zheng Ri didn't care about Ying Rui's teasing, after all, they didn't know that they had been having a big fight all night yesterday, and now they were just hugging and cuddling, and hadn't done anything else.

"Are you feeling any better, my Zhaohe?"

"You think I'm so easy to coax? You think a quick hug is enough? Put your hands down, you're going to rub my head off!"

It would have been better if they hadn't brought it up, because the moment Zhaohe did, he got angry, then glared at him, looking aggressive, but Zhaohe had a smile on his face.

"No, I just came to see how you were doing. Don't be angry. Or how about you dance another one for me tomorrow that's a bit more unique?"

Zheng Ri said with a mischievous smile, then turned his gaze to Zhao He. It has to be said that the ship girl is truly the ultimate perfect creature, with her brown and silver yin-yang hair and double bun hairstyle, and it doesn't look out of place at all.

She also wore a short skirt that revealed her shoulders, and long, patterned sleeves that expressed the beauty of Donghuang in a unique way. Her legs were adorned with white over-the-knee stockings and ankle socks, which were even tied with gold ropes, creating an alluring temptation to untie them.

"It's carmine red; you're completely wrong."

Zhao, who was being scrutinized by Zheng Ri, frowned and said, "Looking is fine, but you've said the wrong thing. Your commander is too careless."

"How did you know what I was thinking?"

Zheng Ri suddenly realized, "Wait, how did you know? Good heavens, telepathy, huh? I thought only Plymouth knew this trick."

"Do I even need this? I can tell what you're thinking just by the way you've been staring at me. Don't underestimate ship girls!"

Hearing his words, Zhaohe felt that he was being very arrogant. Given the reaction speed of the ship girls, wasn't this normal? It was just basic operation.

"...Fine, then look into my eyes and see what I'm thinking."

Since Zhaohe had said so, Zhengri had a little idea circulating in his mind. Then he met Zhaohe's eyes, but after the latter looked at him for more than ten seconds, he couldn't stand it anymore. His face turned red, and he buried his head in Zhaohe's shoulder, extremely shy.

Ying Rui also saw Zheng Ri's eyes. She didn't expect that the commander was already thinking about her and her sister even though he was just about to make a vow with Hai Tian. She couldn't help but blush.

A water striptease and sisters riding a carousel... isn't that a bit too much? Speaking of the ship's banquet, we'd need Ning Hai and Ping Hai to come and set things up...

"Come on, tell me what you saw?"

Zheng Ri grinned mischievously and tried to get Zhao He to come out, but Zhao He refused. After all, those things were still too exciting for her. After trying a few more times without success, Zheng Ri had no choice but to give up.

"Yes, yes...but the Ring of Oath...must be given first..."

Zhaohe dared not look into Zhengri's eyes, fearing that the shame in his heart would break down his defenses, but he still used a trembling voice to tell him the so-called conditions.

"I won't lose a single one of you. In fact, I won't let any of you run away, since I'm going to make you all family."
