“Saratoga, you're back!” The sudden voice in the darkness made Saratoga, who was gently closing the door, freeze.
Although in the end she and her brother-in-law didn't do anything, there was still a feeling of being caught in the act by Isuzu.
“Couldn't sleep?” As she walked over and turned on the bedside lamp, Saratoga leaned against the headboard, wrapping herself in the blanket.
“No, I just couldn't fall asleep.” Saying this, Isuzu also mimicked Saratoga and leaned against the headboard.
“You went to Admiral's room, right?”
“Yeah.” Saratoga nodded. Since they were already Wedding Ship, some things didn’t need to be hidden.
“I really envy you guys!” Isuzu looked up at the white ceiling of the room.
“Do you want to be Admiral's Wedding Ship too?”
Indeed, none of the big-breasted Light Cruiser Ship Girls were easy to deal with. Back then, Helena had inappropriate thoughts about Admiral, and now Isuzu was the same. By the way, it seemed that Wichita from the Heavy Cruiser also harbored some terrifying ideas. At least our Quincy was good; she just focused on eating chive boxes every day.
“No way!” Isuzu hurriedly shook her head in denial. Although every girl has a crush at some point, Isuzu really had no feelings for Admiral. She simply envied how naturally Lexington, Saratoga, Andrea Doria, and Firefly could interact with him, while she, despite being one of Admiral's Fleet Girls, felt somewhat restrained in front of him.
“So what do you envy about us?”
"Envy, that's it." Isuzu was a bit unsure how to describe it and thought for a long time before saying, "You all look like a family with Admiral."
"A family?" Saratoga paused for a moment, then began to understand. She got up from the bed, walked over, and gently embraced Isuzu, saying, "Actually, you can be too."
Despite Saratoga often appearing childlike and carefree, in some ways she was also a caring big sister; otherwise, the Loli Destroyers at Naval Base wouldn't enjoy playing with her so much.
After dawn, the group casually had breakfast at a restaurant on the street before two vehicles, one large and one small, drove out of the county town one after the other. However, shortly after leaving the town, at a fork in the road, the SUV in front continued southwest along the national highway while Isuzu's truck turned onto the road heading east.
There was no choice; Isuzu's truck was still loaded with cargo that needed to be delivered before she could report to Naval Base.
The next leg of the journey was calm and uneventful. During the day, Chuyang and Saratoga took turns driving; it wasn't particularly tiring. They occasionally stopped at scenic spots to stretch their legs and move around. By nightfall, they would find a town to park and rest early. After nearly ten days of this back-and-forth travel, they finally reached their destination: Ming City, home of the Southwest Theater Command.
As the largest city on Asia's Southwest Coast, Ming City was significantly smaller and less prosperous than Rongcheng. However, its overall environment was much better than that of Rongcheng, which was filled with heavy industry. The entire urban area was lush with various trees, presenting a vibrant green landscape that truly lived up to its reputation as a park city.
Although it was winter now, the temperature in coastal Ming City in southern Asia remained quite pleasant. Passersby dressed in various spring outfits were seen everywhere on the streets.
"Admiral, should we report to the Southwest Theater Command first or check into Navy Holiday Hotel?" Lexington asked from the back seat for Chuyang's opinion.
Ming City was still about a day's journey from Naval Base 197 on the Southwest Coast, and since it was already lunchtime, they definitely wouldn't make it to Naval Base today.
"Let's go to Navy Holiday Hotel first!"
After confirming directions with a passerby, Chuyang restarted the car and headed toward Navy Holiday Hotel.
As an industry of Naval Headquarters, there is basically a Navy Holiday Hotel in every coastal city around the world, all featuring a droplet-like architectural style.
After parking the car in the hotel parking lot, before Chuyang and his group could enter the hotel, they encountered an acquaintance at the entrance.
"Chuyang, you have some guts, chasing my sister all the way here. But you should give up on that idea! My sister won't marry someone who doesn't even have Fleet Girls," said a young man in his thirties with a buzz cut, standing next to a woman in her twenties dressed in black long clothing.
The young man's name is Shen Gang, and his father is Shen Kuo, a Lieutenant General and one of the big shots in the Southwest Theater. He also has a sister named Shen Yan.
The reason Chuyang hurriedly ended his internship and rushed back from the Southwest Coast's 23rd Forward Base to Rongcheng was largely due to this father-son duo, Shen Kuo and Shen Gang.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Shen Yan, who insisted that Chuyang pretend to be her boyfriend.
As the saying goes, when men grow up they marry, and when women grow up they marry too. At that time, Shen Yan was in a situation where her parents were pressuring her into marriage. Her father had already found a suitable match for her, apparently the son of a big shot from the southern coastal Battle Zone, who was also a capable Admiral. Unfortunately, Shen Yan had issues with her sexual orientation but didn't dare to tell her parents at that time, so she had no choice but to use Chuyang as a shield.
However, at that time, Chuyang was just an African Warlord without any Fleet Girls. How could a prestigious family like the Shens, with three Admirals, possibly look at Chuyang? During his internship, Shen Kuo and Shen Gang made no secret of their disdain for Chuyang and mocked him every day. After enduring this for a month, Chuyang finally couldn't take it anymore and ended his internship in frustration, running back to Rongcheng.
Now seeing Shen Gang again, Chuyang couldn't be bothered to deal with him. This was simply because Shen Gang was a straightforward person who lacked common sense. Although he had mocked Chuyang back then without any ill intentions, Chuyang really had no interest in arguing with someone so thoughtless.
However, just because he didn't want to argue didn't mean his Fleet Girls would remain silent. Right after Shen Gang finished speaking, Andrea Doria immediately stuck out her neck and retorted angrily: "Gorilla, who are you calling African? I think you are the African; your whole family is African."
Although Andrea Doria seemed not to care much for Chuyang, she was actually one of the Fleet Girls who cared most about their Admiral. How could she allow anyone to bully her Admiral?
