How do I start a romantic relationship with a ship girl?

Page 104

Aurora welcomed Xu Huan in, somewhat embarrassed as she swept away some twigs and petals that hadn't been cleaned up on the floor: "I didn't expect the Commander to come... so the house wasn't tidied up much."

"What about just now?" Xu Huan raised an eyebrow.

“I was just tidying up the garden... and suddenly I thought I should go check out the Commander’s house, so I went there…” Aurora said, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"I never expected to run into the Commander... It's a really strange feeling."

The ship girl's slender, beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows curved slightly with a smile, then she lowered her voice, as if a little embarrassed, and said, "I heard a saying from the Eastern Empire... something about having—"

"I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind."

Having gone through the basic education stage, Xu Huan was naturally familiar with this.

“Yes, that’s it, Commander!” Aurora squinted her eyes in satisfaction, then took a light step and walked up to Xu Huan.

The girl's face suddenly drew very close, and Xu Huan could even smell the sweet breath coming from Aurora's nose and see the fair and delicate skin on the ship girl's face.

"what happened?"

Xu Huan relaxed and joked.

His relationship with Aurora had long since transcended that of ordinary friends.

This was precisely the most ambiguous time.

You know you'll be sleeping together in the future, and she knows you'll be sleeping together in the future, and you both want to sleep together and aren't opposed to it.

They're definitely more than friends, but not quite lovers...

It seems to surpass even romantic relationships.

It's a feeling that's hard to describe.

"Nothing's wrong... Can't I even stand a little closer to the Commander?" Aurora smiled, then lowered her head and took a few deep breaths.

Just as she was about to muster the courage to take the young man's hand, she discovered that he was much faster than her—

My little hand was immediately enveloped by a thick, warm palm.

The Xu Huan of today is no longer the same Xu Huan who first entered the royal family, completely ignorant about matters of the heart and needing Hu Teng to point them out...

He has always been a fast learner.

"Not shy today?" the young man asked with a smile, looking at the blonde girl in front of him.

"I'm alright... I even invited you to my house..." Aurora blushed slightly, then gently leaned against the young man's chest.

She closed her eyes, sensing the young man's presence, savoring this precious moment of tenderness she had finally encountered...

The scene that I had rehearsed in my mind many times before has finally become a reality.

and--

It's still not quite enough...

Aurora wrapped her other arm around the young man's waist, pressing her body closer to him. Just as she was about to say something, the young man lifted her chin slightly.

She closed her eyes subconsciously.

A simple, light kiss conveyed tenderness more effectively than a deep, passionate kiss at this moment, and it also suited the temperament of the ship girl before him...

Therefore, Xu Huan only tried it briefly.

"Boom~"

"Ha...ha...If I hadn't gone to find you, Commander, would you have come to me?" The ship girl looked up, her pale green eyes already filled with tears.

"Yes... Your house is so close to mine, it's only right that you come and visit..."

“Whether the Commander really thinks so or not, I’m very happy to hear this answer…” Aurora replied with a sweet smile, completely satisfied.

She gently pushed Xu Huan away, kissed the young man's cheek, and headed straight for the kitchen: "Commander...why don't you stay for dinner tonight? You've been practicing some new dishes lately..."

"OK..."

Xu Huan had anticipated the invitation from the ship girls.

Even though Aurora hadn't made an appointment with Belfast beforehand, the young man who came to her house wouldn't miss the opportunity to taste her cooking.

"Okay...wait for me a minute~"

Aurora's eyes darted around lightly, her cheeks flushing even more. Her gaze flickered slightly as she asked meaningfully, "I have some wine in my refrigerator... Commander, may I have a drink today?"

"Shall we drink today?" This is a subtle invitation.

If Xu Huan answers yes, then he, who isn't a very good drinker, will probably end up sleeping at Aurora's house tonight.

Aurora understood this perfectly, so instead of directly asking people to stay, she thoughtfully used this subtle invitation method.

As for the almost blood-red blush on her face...

This is because if Xu Huan agrees to stay... some other intimate things will happen.

Xu Huan looked at the bright and beautiful girl in front of him and sighed softly in his heart.

He was very clear about the other person's thoughts, and he did not feel any resistance or disgust.

Compared to ship girls like Hindenburg and Frederick who used 'coercive' methods, his relationship with Aurora was more natural and spontaneous.

If things just continue like this until tonight, it would be surprising if nothing happens.

However, he also faces pressure from the monarch.

I just finished my 'mission' in Frederick the night before last, and now I'm going to stay overnight in Aurora again tonight?

Isn't this a bit... not good...

Body odor can be removed by taking a shower, but how do you explain not coming home for the night?

After last night's questioning and investigation, Xu Huan realized that his position in the monarch's heart seemed to have surpassed that of an ordinary commander...

Furthermore, due to historical reasons, the other party has become stubborn. If they find out that I've chosen to spend the night at another ship girl's house again—

In a sense, this is no different from being abandoned; it can even be directly applied to the historical prototype ship.

I have a bit of a headache...

These are just two ship girls. I really can't imagine how I'll handle the complex emotions that come with personal feelings and factional ties when I have many more ship girls in my port in the future.

"Let's not drink today... How about Aurora comes over to my place when my house is finished?" Xu Huan pondered for a moment and shook his head.

Aurora was initially a little disappointed, but upon hearing that she was going to Xu Huan's house, her disappointment vanished completely.

"Huh? Should I go to the commander's side?"

This... is quite a formal invitation, isn't it?

"Yes..."

Xu Huan sighed silently again.

Commander, if only fighting were all we had to do...

"Hmm? Is there anything inconvenient?" Xu Huan replied, "Although it doesn't look like it, I actually have some skills, it's just that they're not as good as yours, Aurora..."

"No... I'm so happy that the Commander invited me..." The blonde girl smiled contentedly and then added:

"Since the Commander has said so... then I'll let you off the hook~ Besides, it's still quite early, so we won't drink today... but please enjoy the new dishes and give me some feedback~"

"Okay, okay..."

Xu Huan's appetite was whetted. He watched the ship girl walk into the kitchen and gently patted his stomach.

"You really had a great day today..."

...

Two hours later, when the young man left Aurora's house, his once empty stomach was now completely filled with delicious food.

Xu Huan let out a satisfied burp, looked at the packed food box Aurora had provided in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Aurora's instructions to head straight back to the monarch's house.

Judging from the relationship between the monarch and other ship girls in the port area, she should have rarely had the experience of eating at other ship girls' homes.

As a fellow Royal Navy ship girl, Aurora naturally understood this as well.

She knew that Xu Huan had been staying at the monarch's house for the past few days, so she thoughtfully prepared an extra portion for the monarch when she cooked, so that Xu Huan could share it with the monarch when he returned home.

The purpose, besides satisfying his desire to share with his companion, was also to prevent the other party from making things too difficult for Xu Huan about eating at his own home.

Aurora understood what the other ship girls were thinking, especially those ship girls who had a good relationship with Xu Huan.

Since everyone shares the same goal, their thoughts are naturally quite similar.

If she were to deliver the meal herself, the monarch would probably not appreciate it, but if Xu Huan were to hand it to him, the monarch would most likely be willing.

The journey wasn't too far, and when Xu Huan returned to the monarch's house, the food in the food box was still steaming.

The monarch was sitting on the sofa, holding a book that seemed to last forever.

She always seemed to be like this: when there was a mission, she would carry it out; when there was no mission, she could sit on the sofa all day. Apart from basic combat training, she was rarely seen going out.

"You...you're back? So early today?" The monarch was somewhat surprised to see the young man: "I thought you wouldn't be back until dark...after all, it's a rare day off."

"You make it sound like I'm always out there doing all sorts of messy things..." Xu Huan said, though he felt a little guilty about what had happened before.
