However, it must be said that this behavior does indeed promote hormone production.
"What's wrong? Look at your reaction... so sensitive... is it that your ears are your weakness?" Hu Teng ignored the young man's helpless gaze and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
"Looks like I'll have to tease your ears more often from now on...right~~~"
As the little wildcat spoke, she leaned close to the young man's ear again, but this time she didn't stick out her tongue directly like before; instead, she breathed warm air into his ear.
"call--"
The humid heat hit his ears directly, and the ship girl's pleasant scent filled his nostrils. At that moment, Xu Huan felt goosebumps rising on his skin.
"Would you like me to lick it again?"
"...Not for now."
"temporary?"
"Um...."
"Ah...I understand...."
Hu Teng was right; Xu Huan's ears were more sensitive than in other places.
It's not just a sensitivity to hearing, but a sensitivity with a certain perceptual significance. This sensitivity, which is different from the usual senses, also provides him with excellent perception during battle, allowing him to avoid more damage and gather more information on the battlefield.
His exceptional perception is a major reason why he excels in one-on-one combat.
However, he never expected that one day, his sensitive ears would also make him subject to others in another way.
When a sensitive area of the body encounters someone of the opposite sex that one is attracted to, the brain involuntarily enters a pink bubble of desire, which is quite dangerous...
Fortunately, the little wildcat knew that bullying young men on the street would not get her anywhere. So, after kissing Xu Huan's earlobe again, the ship girl leaned lazily against the railing, then opened her arms and looked at the young man, as if waiting for something.
Having received Hu Teng's earlier indication, Xu Huan naturally knew what he should do at this moment—
With a gentle sweep of his right hand, he lifted Hu Teng up in a princess carry.
Speaking of Hutten, although she is a battleship, she is much slimmer than her sister ships like Friedrich, who are more muscular and plump. In addition, Xu Huan is tall and has long legs, and his years of training have made his muscle proportions well-proportioned. Even when the young man is holding her, there is nothing out of place.
"Hmm~~~"
Having satisfied his inner desires, Hu Teng lay in Xu Huan's arms, twisted his body, and then closed his eyes comfortably.
Okay, now she's really become a little wildcat.
"Aren't you afraid someone will see you like this on your way back?"
"What if someone sees us...?"
Hu Teng slightly opened his narrowed eyes and gave a soft snort: "Let them be envious then..."
-------------------------------------
As dusk fell, the wall clock finally struck midnight, signaling the end of the workday.
Inside the infirmary, Belfast, who was in charge of teaching Elbin, stretched gently after finishing her day as a teacher.
After studying for most of the day, the introverted Elbin began to feel increasingly envious of the seemingly impressive head maid in front of him.
Throughout today's teaching session, besides learning a lot, she also gained a clearer understanding of the distance between herself and Belfast.
That gap, as wide as a chasm, means that, based on one's own talent, catching up with or even surpassing the other person would probably be impossible.
'If only I were that good... at least I could help the commander a little...'
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Elbin knew that Xu Huan was trying to help him become more 'useful' or more confident...
Although she didn't understand why Xu Huan wanted to help her, since she didn't have any qualities that made him go to so much trouble for her.
Even from the most mundane perspective, Elbin doesn't think he has any advantage in appearance or figure compared to other ship girls.
Especially when facing near-perfect ship girls like Belfast... some unspeakable thoughts in her mind are more likely to surface uncontrollably.
Fortunately, today's class has finally come to an end.
Finally, I can return to my quiet, undisturbed home and spend my time alone...
"Thank you, Miss Belfast... I'll head back now..."
"Okay, you've had a long day, please take care and get some rest..." Belfast said a brief goodbye and watched Elbin leave the infirmary, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
After spending most of the day together, Belfast could basically conclude that the relationship between Elbin and the commander was not as complicated as she had imagined.
After all, Elbin's behavior was like that of a frightened deer, making it difficult to discern any deep thoughts he might have.
Putting Elbin's matter aside for the time being, Belfast looked at the empty infirmary and the twilight view outside the window, and realized that the young man had returned home late.
She turned on her communication device, and sure enough, there was a message from Xu Huan at the top.
I won't be home for dinner tonight, don't worry.
"Master has been quite busy these past few days..."
With a soft sigh, Belfast tidied her clothes and the documents and furniture in the room. She had only taken a few steps out of the infirmary when she ran into Z23, who had just dropped Tirpitz off at his destination and was on his way back.
"Hello, Miss Belfast..."
Upon seeing the familiar ship girl who often accompanied Xu Huan, the girl politely slowed down the vehicle and stopped to greet Belfast.
"Good evening..." Belfast replied with a polite smile.
"By the way... Miss Belfast, I don't know if the Commander has told you about this..." The girl suddenly patted her forehead lightly, then said to Belfast:
"The Commander and Huteng went back together, so they won't be back tonight..."
"...Hu Teng?"
"Yes, I heard from the commander that we're planning to have dinner at Huteng's house tonight, right?"
"I understand... Master already told me..."
Belfast nodded slightly, then gave a kind smile.
"Uh...that's good..."
Belfast's answer made Z23 subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
It wasn't until the vehicle restarted and they were halfway there that the girl realized Belfast's reaction seemed a little off.
"Didn't they say the commander had already told her? Why did she seem so different when she heard the news later?"
Shaking her head, the girl decided to temporarily put aside such a brain-teasing problem.
After a busy day, she also needs to rest for a while.
On the other side, Belfast stood silently for a long time, watching the vehicles gradually disappear into the distance and at the end of the road, lost in thought.
After a long silence, the head maid from the royal family sighed deeply.
"I was a bit careless..."
Belfast had thought that by coming to the Ironbloods, her master would have more opportunities to spend time alone with her.
After all, there aren't many Royal Navy ship girls who come to Ironblood.
And as she had predicted, Xu Huan, who was new to Ironblood, needed Belfast's help in many ways. Apart from today's mission at sea, Belfast was basically always by Xu Huan's side.
Even before going to bed at night, the two would chat on the phone for a while, talking about things related to Iron Blood and other relaxing topics.
If nothing unexpected happens, the already ambiguous and intimate master-servant relationship will soon reach an even deeper level.
Belfast thoroughly enjoyed this natural progression, the mutual reliance, and the eventual spontaneous development of their relationship.
After arriving at Ironblood, things seemed to be going in the direction she had predicted, but she overlooked one problem.
It overlooks the fact that Xu Huan and Hu Teng, along with two other Ironblood ship girls, also have a close relationship.
Perhaps it was because she had been too busy these past few days, or perhaps she had relaxed a bit, but before Belfast could take advantage of her position to make a move, the Ironblood ship girls had already taken the lead.
Extremely swift, decisive, and forceful.
Just like their performance in battle, there is no equivalent Maginot Line for them in matters of the heart.
While I was still making plans, the other party acted directly according to their desires, so their speed was naturally much faster.
"Miss Hu Teng's...home? Would you like to...?"
The ship girl murmured, a hint of hesitation flashing in her azure eyes.
There was no other reason than that the thought that flashed through her mind at that moment was simply too impolite.
"never mind..."
Befa sighed.
-------------------------------------
When Xu Huan carried Hu Teng to a villa with a small courtyard, it was already late. A half-moon had already replaced the setting sun and hung in the sky, casting silvery moonlight.
"Is this your home?"
"OK...."
Upon reaching their destination, Hu Teng reluctantly jumped off the young man's back.
"It doesn't feel like...it's not that far from where I live?"
"Strictly speaking, the villas in the reception area and the villas where the Ironblood ship girls live should actually be considered one area... for easier management, but Bismarck later divided them into two areas..."
