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

Page 26

Her delicate face suddenly zoomed in, revealing a perfect, white, semi-circular mound of full breasts. Her slender, white index finger slowly extended, and the girl's pleasant body fragrance wafted out with her movements. It was a scent similar to roses, easily intoxicating.

Xu Huan felt the girl's outstretched index finger lightly touch the corner of his mouth. The fingertip was slightly cool, and his cheek slightly sunken, giving him a strange feeling.

"Commander... don't waste rice."

Aurora looked at the grain of rice at the corner of the young man's mouth, then lightly tapped it with her finger and put it into her mouth.

"Uh...."

Such intimate behavior left Xu Huan's mind in a daze once again.

As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. No matter how straight Xu Huan is, given Hu Teng's example, he couldn't possibly not understand that the ship girl's behavior at this moment carried a somewhat intimate meaning.

But unlike Hutten's flirtatious intimacy, Aurora's behavior was very natural, as if they were meant to be.

This isn't the first time... Although it's not as intense as Hu Teng's kiss, the intimacy they represent is mostly the same.

A relaxed state of mind is most susceptible to emotional influences.

"Commander, what's wrong?"

Seeing Xu Huan's stunned expression, Aurora was a little puzzled, but then she immediately realized what was going on.

Did I just subconsciously do something out of line?

Just as Xu Huan felt, Aurora's actions were entirely subconscious, without any specific thought; she simply followed her intuition and did what she felt was appropriate.

The girl's face was flushed, as if it could drip water. She didn't dare to look up at all, and could only keep using her utensils to pick at the rice in her bowl, trying to ease the embarrassment of her 'abrupt' action.

The aroma of food still lingered in the restaurant, but Aurora, sitting there, was already in a state of utter turmoil.

Xu Huan quickly recovered from his daze and replied, "...Thank you for reminding me, I was being a bit careless."

"No, it was because I wasn't paying attention, Commander. I'll be more careful in the future."

Hearing that Xu Huan didn't seem to care much about her 'offensive' behavior, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Huan hesitated for a moment, then tried to say, "It's okay, I don't mind. In fact, you could say I'm the one who's benefiting, right?"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: An Unexpected Encounter

"I didn't expect the Commander to think that way..." Aurora covered her lips with her hand, somewhat surprised.

"Why do you say that?"

Xu Huan was also somewhat puzzled. Regardless of their personalities, the ship girls were all very pretty young women at least for now. Even if judging them solely by their appearance was a bit superficial, their physiological reactions were undeniable.

"From our perspective, it should actually be said that I benefited from the Commander's advantage," Aurora explained.

"After all, there's only one commander... You'll understand later."

Although this analogy is a bit perverse, a certain rather extreme ship girl once said that, for them, the Commander is like the flesh of Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West; even if they can't eat him, just smelling him is enough to prolong their lives.

The slightly awkward ambiguity was thus glossed over, and the two chatted as they ate. Half an hour later, dinner finally ended when Xu Huan finished his fourth bowl of rice.

Xu Huan looked at the completely empty plate and patted his stomach with great satisfaction: "Sorry... it's been too long since I've indulged like this..."

Although there was plenty of meat to choose from and unlimited supply in the army, Xu Huan could only eat very restrainedly most of the time for the sake of his physical function, focusing on a balanced diet and rarely considering his own taste buds.

"It was my fault for not being prepared. I didn't expect the Commander to have such a big appetite..." Although Aurora apologized, there was not a trace of negative emotion in her expression.

A unique sense of satisfaction filled my heart, especially when I saw Xu Huan sitting in the chair with a tired but satisfied look on his face. It was as if my heart was gently touched, and a warm current flowed through my blood to every part of my body, which felt very comfortable.

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Huan, and said very seriously, "Commander, remember to come often in the future."

"Uh huh, excuse me for bothering you."

Xu Huan grinned.

-------------------------------------

The following day, Royal Supply Supermarket.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Royal Family, their supermarket is truly different... They have practically everything." Royal Wealth exclaimed, pushing a shopping cart piled high with all sorts of snacks and drinks that are hard to find elsewhere, as if they were about to go on a spring outing.

Hu Teng also pushed a shopping cart, his eyes darting back and forth as he walked along the side, but the cart was completely empty.

This morning, they were finally informed by the royal family of Xu Huan's exact address. However, he is currently recuperating, and it is hoped that they will not disturb his rest unless there is something serious going on. Furthermore, it is hoped that any information about Xu Huan can be kept as confidential as possible.

Hutten and the Royal Fortune naturally had no objection to these demands.

So, on Hu Teng's advice, Royal Wealth came to Royal Supermarket.

Although Xu Huan doesn't seem to lack anything, it's normal for him to bring gifts when visiting people.

"Each faction's supermarket has a very complete selection of goods; you can buy anything you want there."

Watching Royal Wealth behave like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, Hu Teng explained, "This is also a guarantee of the living needs of the ship girls in the port area. With an improved quality of life, they will be more efficient when carrying out missions."

"But we're going to the commander's place soon, are you sure you're only taking this? Snacks and a bunch of drinks?"

“Dagang District is great… Uh, actually I was planning to take these back to the ship to store them…” Royal Fortune smiled sheepishly, but then said seriously, “You don’t need to worry about me. Look at yourself, you’ve been to the whole supermarket and haven’t found anything you like…”

"I'm looking for."

"Something you can't even find in supermarkets?"

Hu Teng replied, "Hmm... that seems to be the case for now. It seems like we don't have it on the Ironblood side either."

"What are you looking for?"

"starfish."

Hu Teng still remembers the words Xu Huan uttered when he handed him the roast meat: "Not as good as canned starfish."

Before, she rarely ate anything, let alone starfish canned food.

However, since this thing has been on his mind for so long, there must be some reason for it.

Hu Teng even decided that if he couldn't find canned starfish, he could ask U556 and the others to catch one for him when they went to play in the ocean or on a mission.

As for canned goods, we'll have to trouble the Manju chefs in the port area.

"what?"

Royal Wealth doubted that they had heard correctly.

Although the supermarket does have a wide variety of products, starfish have rarely appeared on supermarket shelves since the appearance of sirens in the ocean, although I have seen quite a few in the sea.

Hu Teng ignored her and, although the chances were slim, she continued to search for her target.

"Hey, Hu Teng, do you mean Xu Huan likes starfish?" Royal Fortune pressed again.

As an underwater vessel, starfish are a piece of cake for her; she can easily scoop up several with a single dip of her tentacles.

"do not know."

"You guys are really cunning, not telling me this at all..."

Although Hutten did not confirm it, Royal Fortune made up its mind to get more starfish when it had time, as they might come in very useful later.

The two pushed their cart around a corner, but their path was blocked by a car parked in the middle of the road, and a shopping cart that was full of goods.

The owner of the shopping cart was a pretty young girl with long golden hair. She was squatting in front of the household goods section, comparing two slippers of different sizes.

The girl seemed somewhat hesitant, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her gaze kept shifting back and forth between the two slippers, comparing them.

Hu Teng looked at the slippers in the girl's hand and the various daily necessities such as towels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes in the shopping cart, and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

Although she wasn't exactly familiar with the ship girl in front of her, she recognized her.

Aurora, a name that ship girls outside of the Royal Navy usually associate with roses, was also someone Hutten met during a mission.

However, according to her understanding, Aurora is one of the ship girls who are permanently stationed at the Royal Navy headquarters, and she did not just move there recently.

In other words, the other party would not normally buy so many daily necessities at once.

Thinking of this, Hu Teng glanced at the slippers the girl was picking out.

She was certain that it wasn't a teenage girl's size.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Three Parties

Just by looking at them, it's clear they're much larger than the cloth shoes she's currently wearing. It's more accurate to say they were bought for the Commander than for Aurora herself...

There aren't any other candidates in the port area, right?

Moreover, whether it's the left or the right side, the style seems to be geared towards men.

"Excuse me, could you let me through?" Just as Hu Teng was deep in thought, Royal Wealth, without thinking too much, spoke up directly.

"Huh?! I'm sorry... I'll move it right away."

Aurora seemed startled by the little octopus's shout, as if afraid of being discovered, and hurriedly put down her slippers and stood up.

But as she moved her shopping cart, Royal Fortune was about to walk over when she found Hu Teng standing motionless in place, his contemptuous yellow vertical pupils scrutinizing Aurora up and down.

"What's wrong?" The little octopus's eyes darted around slightly when it saw this, and it immediately lowered its voice to ask.

She was a little confused. Did these two have a grudge against each other before? But given Aurora's personality, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

Hu Teng didn't explain, but looked directly at Aurora and said, "It's been a long time, Miss Aurora."

The blonde girl was also taken aback by what she heard.
