In the past, Chuyang had never understood the term "Ice Queen." Throughout his more than twenty years of life, he had never encountered such a so-called ice beauty. However, today, he gained a profound understanding of this term.
Red is typically a warm color that symbolizes passion, but on Richelieu, who wore a bright red bishop's robe, Chuyang felt no warmth at all; instead, there was only indifference and coldness.
This change occurred after Lexington and the others left. Although Richelieu had maintained a high and aloof demeanor in front of others before, at least there had been some other expressions on her face. But now... that lack of warmth in her gaze, that unsmiling face, and the cold aura she exuded perfectly illustrated the term "ice mountain" to Chuyang.
To be honest, facing such a Richelieu made Chuyang feel somewhat anxious inside, and he could somewhat understand why she was angry.
Currently, among the Fleet Girls under his command, except for Firefly, whether it was Lexington, Saratoga, Andrea Doria, or Isuzu, they all initially thought he had abandoned them when they first met him. It was likely that Richelieu thought the same.
However, Richelieu did not give Chuyang the chance to explain.
When Chuyang changed his shoes at the door and stepped into the house, Richelieu had already entered the bedroom and slammed the door shut behind her, leaving Chuyang alone in the living room.
The living room was decorated in cool tones; several still-life sketches hung on the sky-blue walls. A rectangular fish tank sat against the east wall, housing several ice-blue ornamental fish whose names Chuyang could not recall. Next to the fish tank stood a flower rack with three pots of vibrant green clivia.
A set of European-style blue fabric sofas were arranged irregularly throughout the living room, making the entire room feel just as cold as Richelieu made Chuyang feel.
After sitting down on the sofa, Chuyang found himself at a loss. From Firefly to Isuzu, every Fleet Girl had shown him some warmth upon meeting him. Even when they mistakenly believed he had abandoned them before any misunderstandings were cleared up, they easily chose to forgive him.
But encountering a situation like Richelieu's was truly a first for Chuyang. What should he do now? He wanted to explain! He tried knocking on the bedroom door; it was locked from the inside. He knocked several times and called out a few times but received no response from Richelieu at all.
As for kicking the door open, Chuyang didn't have the courage to do that. Richelieu was not as gentle as Lexington, and Chuyang felt a bit intimidated by this Fleet Girl who dared to show her displeasure upon their first meeting.
Inside the bedroom, however, Richelieu's mood was completely opposite to Chuyang's.
Sitting in front of the vanity, she pulled her long hair from behind her head to the front, curling the ends with her fingers. Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, a sweet smile appeared on Richelieu's face.
As for being angry, Richelieu had already calmed down after Admiral confessed his feelings for her. Especially at the moment when Admiral promised her a ring, her heart was filled with overwhelming happiness.
The reason Richelieu pretended to ignore Admiral was partly because she felt that forgiving him so easily would be too lenient. On the other hand, Richelieu naturally loved romance.
She envied the love stories of talented scholars and beautiful women in books and longed for that kind of romantic experience under the flowers and moonlight. She wanted to experience the sweetness of love that happens at dusk when one meets their beloved by the willow trees.
In short, she couldn't just rush to Admiral because he said "I like you." After all, he hadn't even pursued her yet! She had never experienced the feeling of romantic love! Becoming Admiral's Wedding Ship without experiencing romance left her feeling somewhat unwilling.
To put it simply, Richelieu wanted to feel in love; she wanted Admiral to pamper her.
So when Chuyang knocked on the door, Richelieu was very happy. At the same time, she was counting silently in her heart. If Chuyang could knock nine times—symbolizing eternity—she would open the door for Admiral. Unfortunately, Chuyang only knocked eight times. After receiving no response, she sat back down on the sofa in distress, pondering how to cheer Richelieu up.
After waiting for a long time without hearing that final knock, Richelieu began to feel anxious. Was she being too petty? After all, he was Admiral. He wouldn't be angry, would he?
Listening carefully again, there was no sound in the living room. Could it be that Admiral had left in anger?
Thinking this way, Richelieu hurriedly stood up from the vanity and pulled open the door. But when she saw Chuyang's smiling face, her heart first leaped with joy before she feigned anger and lightly huffed at Chuyang before closing the door again. However, this time Richelieu did not lock it.
"......" What happened? How did Richelieu's expression change faster than a Sichuan opera face change? When the door was first opened, there was clearly a hint of affection in her eyes, but in an instant, her expression turned cold.
It is often said: A woman's heart is as deep as the ocean, and indeed, it is impossible to guess what is on her mind. However, she is still one of the Fleet Girls. Although the disappearance of the Naval Base was not his fault, who would have thought that simply uninstalling the game could lead to so many issues?
But as Buddha said: Every cause has its effect. All connections arise from him, and they should also end with him. Buddha also said: If I do not enter hell, who will? So, let him confront Richelieu, this enchanting woman! At worst, he would just have to feed the "tiger."
With such shameless thoughts in mind, he had already grasped the doorknob of the bedroom. He tried it and found it was not locked. A hint of delight rose on Chuyang's face as he boldly pushed open the door and walked in.
The decoration style of the bedroom was similar to that of the living room, both featuring light cool tones. However, due to some very feminine items inside, it added a touch of allure, such as the pink lace lingerie hanging on the coat rack in the corner.
Meanwhile, Richelieu, who had been lying on the bed covered with a blanket pretending to be angry, lifted the blanket when she noticed that Admiral had entered and remained silent for a while. When she followed Chuyang's gaze and saw the lingerie on the rack, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Just as she was about to get up to put away the lingerie, she paused and said, "Admiral, do you want me to wear it for you?"
