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

Page 41

Xu Huan had just finished praising him in his heart when he suddenly felt someone gently grab his left hand.

He looked down in confusion and found that a slender, boneless hand had quietly reached out to his fingers.

Seemingly realizing that her little actions had been discovered, her fair hands gently took Xu Huan's fingers and even tickled his palm a couple of times.

left...

The young man raised his head.

To my left sat Glory.

Is he already drunk?

I had just praised the other person's drinking manners... and unexpectedly they immediately took my hand.

However, Xu Huan didn't think these things were a big deal, at least compared to Hu Teng's actions under the table...

Xu Huan looked at the owner of the hand, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

"Glory...?"

He lowered his voice and spoke softly, about to ask something, when he saw the ship girl's rosy face gently shake.

"Commander... right now... nobody knows~"

The ship girl spoke softly, her face turning even redder, as if coated with a vibrant watercolor:

"Let Radiance, fueled by the alcohol, indulge in a little bit of recklessness~"

As Guanghui spoke, her watery eyes blinked gently, and she winked at Xu Huan. Then she leaned closer, her lips slightly parted, her warm breath carrying a faint scent of alcohol.

"I like you, Commander."

She whispered in my ear.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Drunk

At first, Glorious was generally skeptical of things like love at first sight.

To be precise, it was before he met Xu Huan.

She believed that those were just stories from knight and princess novels, and that in real life, how could someone fall in love with someone after only meeting them once?

Feelings should be like a flowing stream, natural and slow, gradually warming up until finally expressing one's feelings.

But this idea was shattered when the Sirens attacked that day.

Long after that day, the image of Xu Huan rushing out at the crucial moment and holding her in his arms remained vivid in her mind.

A warm breath, a strong embrace.

The hero rescuing the damsel in distress may be a cliché, but it's definitely effective.

In conclusion, although it was only the first time he had met the young man, Guanghui's heart inevitably stirred with some subtle emotions.

This subtle fluttering feeling was amplified rapidly at this moment due to the influence of alcohol...

Just as Guanghui himself said—he let loose for a little while, fueled by the alcohol.

She lowered her head, as if afraid that Xu Huan hadn't heard her clearly, and repeated in a low voice, "Commander, I like you."

When the young man heard the ship girl's murmur, he was clearly taken aback.

Putting aside the ship girl's sudden confession, how am I supposed to respond to something she said while drunk?

Common sense tells me not to take what someone says while drunk too seriously, because the other person might forget it all once they sober up.

but--

Since the other party is likely to forget everything once they sober up, shouldn't I just go along with what they say?

The world is vast, but the drunkard is the greatest.

In this situation, a drunken radiance, while perhaps not entirely emotional, is still...

At the very least, you have to make people happy, right?

Having made up his mind, Xu Huan whispered, "I like you too, Guanghui."

After listening, the ship girl stared blankly at Xu Huan with her aquamarine eyes for a couple of moments, then her lips curved into a sweet, satisfied smile, revealing her pearly teeth: "I understand... Commander, you must keep your word..."

As she spoke, she gently grasped Xu Huan's hand with her own, their fingers slowly intertwining.

“That’s for sure…” Xu Huan nodded, looking at the other person’s rosy cheeks and eyes that seemed to be filled with mist.

The glow of being drunk...it looks kind of cute.

“Commander…” Glorious seemed unsatisfied, and her center of gravity gradually shifted towards Xu Huan.

She raised her other hand and gently stroked the young man's face, her eyes gradually becoming hazy.

Judging from the movement, it seems that the next step would be to present her pink lips.

Just then, Aurora noticed that something was wrong with Glorious's condition. She quickly stood up and went to Glorious's side, straightening up his plump body as he was leaning against Xu Huan.

The speed of the entire sequence of movements was unprecedented and rarely seen.

Even Hu Teng, who was constantly replaying adult scenarios in his mind, was attracted by Aurora's sudden action, raised his head, and looked over with a puzzled gaze.

“Miss Radiance…you’re drunk…” Aurora gently patted Radiance’s back and whispered a reminder beside her:

"I almost collapsed onto the Commander just now... and I was even about to pinch his cheek..."

Guanghui seemed to frown in confusion.

She was so close to getting what she wanted, and she was just one step away from achieving her temporary goal. How did the distance suddenly widen again...?

Am I drunk...?

Seeing that Illustrious seemed to be in a bad state, Aurora turned to Xu Huan and said, "Commander... Miss Illustrious seems to be quite drunk. Perhaps we should leave it at that for tonight..."

"Her words..."

Xu Huan hesitated. Judging from Guanghui's behavior just now, it seemed unlikely that he could walk back on his own.

"I'll take Miss Glorious home in a bit. Commander and Miss Hutten should be able to take care of themselves, right?"

“I didn’t drink much…” Xu Huan replied.

Hu Teng quickly shook his head: "This little bit of wine is nothing to me."

She had been waiting all night for this moment, and now she quickly came out to express her opinion.

"Then Commander and Miss Hutten can go ahead... I'll pack up quickly and then send Illustrious back..." Aurora nodded to the two of them, "You can come again next time if you have the chance..."

Before Xu Huangang could say anything about whether he needed any help, Hu Teng interrupted him, saying:

"Thank you for your help... The Commander and I have some important matters to discuss, so we must take our leave now..."

"Well....?"

The young man was somewhat puzzled. "Something important to discuss?" he thought. "What important thing to discuss? I don't know anything about it."

Could it be related to Ironblood Intelligence?

And judging from Hu Teng's expression, he seemed quite anxious...

Thinking of this, Xu Huan nodded and said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality today, Aurora."

"Commander, if you have time... you can come again~"

After a brief farewell, Aurora smiled and watched the two of them walk away until they disappeared from sight before returning to the restaurant.

Looking at the nearly empty table of food, and recalling the praise everyone had given her cooking, Aurora, as the chef, should have been extremely happy...

But for some reason, I couldn't feel happy at all.

Is it because there are too many people...?

Aurora thought.

In her mind, this meal was supposed to be just for her and Xu Huan, where they could eat and drink, chat about everyday things, and that there would be enough food for the two of them to eat for the whole night.

This way, time will feel like it's passing slowly, and you can quietly enjoy the cozy atmosphere of being alone together...

But I didn't expect so many people to show up later.

It was much livelier than just the two of us... but it didn't feel quite the same as I had initially imagined.

and....

Aurora looked at Glorious, who was still sitting in the restaurant chair.

Although Radiant's face was still flushed, her hazy eyes had become much clearer than before. Noticing the girl's gaze, she looked back.

"Do you need my help, Aurora...?"

"You're not drunk, are you, Glorious...?"

The girl remained silent for a long time before sighing.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Purple Brim (Revised)

Judging from Guanghui's actions just now, Aurora felt that something was not right.
