The girl suddenly felt like she had been abandoned by the whole world, and the grievances in her heart kept welling up.
Forcibly suppressing the stinging sensation in her nose, the little octopus quickly checked the message again. Seeing the message read, "Temporarily heading there, will return soon," she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
If they come back, that's fine; but if they never return...
I have to find a way to go there myself.
While royal life was luxurious, Xu Huan was the true and most precious treasure!
But if Xu Huan goes to Ironblood, doesn't that also mean...?
Will I be unable to see others for quite some time again?
Thinking of this, the little octopus immediately threw aside the snacks he hadn't finished eating, put the books back in their place, and opened the door to head towards the office.
It's almost time to get off work now, so I have to get together with them for a meal or something, otherwise we won't be able to see each other for a long time.
As if the heavens had sensed her thoughts, the little octopus had just stepped out when she saw a familiar figure in the hotel corridor.
"Xu Huan?!"
Although somewhat surprised, Royal Wealth waved happily at the other party, running over and shouting as they went.
"Ok?"
Xu Huan was also somewhat surprised to hear the voice and stopped in his tracks.
"A little octopus...?"
"Huh?! I was just about to come find you!" The little octopus ran up to the young man, and seeing that Xu Huan's face was slightly flushed and he looked very energetic, it was a little puzzled:
"How could I run into you here... What are you doing here?"
"My words..."
Recalling the absurd events that had just transpired in Frederick's room, Xu Huan coughed twice and said evasively, "As you probably already know, I was planning to go to Ironblood, and Frederick and the others were discussing some things with me just now..."
"Then why is your face red?"
"This phone... is probably because it's a bit hot inside?" Xu Huan glanced slightly and explained.
Contrary to common perception, Xu Huan seemed to receive even more benefits from intimate interactions with the ship girls than they did, showing a tendency to become more vigorous with each encounter.
So basically, every time, the ship girls are 'drained' by him...
Having learned from his previous mistake of not cleaning up the smell properly and being discovered by the monarch, Xu Huan became particularly careful about this every time afterward, at the very least taking a bath before going out.
"Speaking of which, you mentioned you wanted to see me earlier, is there something you need?"
"Hmm? Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Royal Wealth retorted.
Xu Huan shook his head: "No... You're welcome whether you need anything or not."
"It's really nothing much... Are you free tonight?"
The little octopus said, taking Xu Huan's hand: "If there's nothing important, how about having dinner with me?"
The relationship between the two developed naturally, and the intimate behavior that the ship girl exhibited at this time also felt very natural.
"There's nothing important tonight... having a meal is fine, but—"
Xu Huan looked at the girl with some suspicion: "I remember you haven't touched the kitchen lately, have you? Are you planning to have me cook tonight?"
"Uh... I'm treating, so I definitely won't let you cook, Xu Huan. You can rest assured!" The little octopus hesitated for a moment before confidently stating:
"We'll go straight to the cafeteria later and get about a dozen portions to take back to my room to eat!"
Taking it to go is easy to understand, but as for why we want to eat inside... well...
There are some things that are inconvenient to do outside.
Chapter 165 You shall stay here and not move.
"I thought you were going to cook it yourself, but it turns out you just wanted to get Manju and the others to pack it up?"
Xu Huan chuckled twice, then jokingly expressed his disappointment.
"Cook myself? Well, it's not impossible~" The girl shook her head a little shyly, "But most of the ship girls in the port know that Xu Huan, your palate was honed by Aurora. I'm fairly confident in my cooking skills, but if it's to compare with Aurora, I'd rather not discourage myself..."
“And…” the little octopus said, its eyes suddenly widening, a slightly ambiguous light flashing in them, as if filtered through a pink lens:
"I called Xu Huan over for dinner... not really just for dinner."
"Hmm? I don't quite understand what you're saying. What do you mean by eating or not eating..." Xu Huan, who knew the little octopus very well, naturally knew what the girl was thinking, but he still pretended to be clueless.
Royal Wealth blinked, gently puffed out her ample chest, and said, "Well... compared to eating, I actually prefer... 'eating' people..."
"I didn't realize you had such a strange hobby..." Xu Huan silently took two steps back, acting as if he didn't know who you were.
"you--!!"
The little octopus was a little angry at Xu Huan's behavior and quickly said, "It's not about eating people, I want to sleep with you!! Don't you understand that? Hmph..."
Such bold words echoed throughout the hotel corridor.
Under Xu Huan's repeated teasing and bluffing, Royal Fortune directly exposed its pirate nature.
The corridor suddenly became unusually quiet.
"Tsk...that's pretty direct of you..."
“You definitely understand what I’m trying to say, stop pretending to be stupid…” Royal Fortune’s face was flushed as she stared at Xu Huan and shook her head with some dissatisfaction, her dark brown hair swaying with the movement.
She didn't care about anything else now, and directly laid her cards on the table, expressing her purpose clearly and directly, leaving Xu Huan no room to play dumb.
"Haven't you been staying at the monarch's house lately? I just... I just miss you a little, is that not allowed?" Seeing Xu Huan's 'well-behaved' appearance, Royal Wealth finally suppressed the fierce aura that had just been revealed and asked.
"Besides...aren't you going to Ironblood later? I feel like I won't see you for a long time, so why don't you take some time to spend with me today? Hmm?!"
"Ahem... I agree with your thoughts and opinions. Actually, I've been missing you, Little Octopus, quite a bit lately..."
Xu Huan coughed twice, didn't say much, just nodded in agreement, and also added a little sweet talk.
Saying nice things to your ship girl is never a bad thing.
These are some of the latest lessons Xu Huan has learned in the port area, and he'll use them to test them on the little octopus.
"Okay...wouldn't it have been better if you had done this sooner...?"
The young man's agreement didn't surprise the little octopus, but his subsequent comment, "I miss you too," did surprise her slightly.
It seems... I've never heard Xu Huan speak to me like this before.
The girl's face was filled with undisguised joy as she thought about it, her lips curving into a wide grin.
Do you... really miss me?
The little octopus turned its gaze elsewhere, placed its hands in front of it, and asked softly and somewhat awkwardly.
Xu Huan replied, "Of course I miss you... I'm bound to miss you after not seeing you for so long..."
His words seemed to have an unexpected effect.
I feel like we could try using this on other ship girls as well...
The young man nodded silently.
"Then let's not waste any more time! Xu Huan, you're going back to the monarch's place tonight, right? So, we should have enough time?"
"What do you mean 'should still be enough'? What time is it... It's not even time for formal dinner yet. Are you planning to eat dinner all night?"
"It shouldn't be just about eating one night's worth of food... but with other things added in, it's hard to say!"
As the girl spoke, she walked behind the young man and gently pushed Xu Huan forward with her arm.
"Alright, alright... let's save time and hurry up and get there—"
Not long after the little octopus finished speaking, Xu Huan had only taken a little over two steps when he suddenly stopped.
The thrust from behind suddenly disappeared. Xu Huan turned around and looked at the little octopus, who was standing there in a daze, with some confusion. He asked, "Didn't you say that time was tight and the task was heavy? Why did we stop again?"
"I suddenly remembered something..."
A glint of light flashed in the little octopus's eyes.
Xu Huan's plan to go to Ironblood has already been announced in the port area chat group, so the young man is now in a very special situation.
It's estimated that every ship girl who sees him will come up to ask about the details of his trip to Ironblood, and many of his closer ship girls might also do what she did, using the excuse that they might not see each other for a long time to secretly do some things they like...
In short, Xu Huan is now like a diamond with its own dazzling halo; once someone sees him, they will almost certainly remember him.
So, if I were to invite the other person to go get some takeout with me...
It's easy for someone to intercept us along the way.
The risk is too high; it's best to go alone if you're packing food.
As for Xu Huan...
Just hide it in your room beforehand.
With that thought in mind, Royal Fortune suddenly circled around and led Xu Huan back towards his room.
"I suddenly realized something..."
"...What have you figured out?"
