Jiqi opened his eyes, and the tip of his nose was filled with the unique fragrance of a familiar girl, as light as a lotus.

He sat up and looked around, the bright sunlight shining through the room. Surrounded by a large space, in front of you is a simple long table, with a closed mahogany door on the right and a window on the other, light gauze and curtains on both sides rippling in the morning breeze. And he was sitting on a huge double bed, covered with a white and soft sheet, and the owner of the delicate face on the side was Wales, who vaguely remembered leaning on her shoulder before closing his eyes last night. The girl muttered softly, and in a daze, she opened her eyes and emerged from the bed, as if she had been woken up by the movements of Jiqi.

"Admiral, did you wake up so early?" The girl rubbed her eyes lazily, and her loose blonde hair hung down on her shoulders like a curtain of rain. She leaned over and stretched out her soft arms, gently wrapping them around Jiqi's waist and abdomen.

"Where is this? Is it the new Castle Guard? Jiqi took Wales' wrist and looked around, he had a rough guess of where he was.

"Yes, the avant-garde brought us here last night, saying that this is our new town guard mansion in the future, and the name seems to be Jiqi, which is the name of the Admiral." Wales explained quietly from memory. When they came here last night, their heads were numb with shock from the luxurious spaciousness here, they never thought that the new town guard mansion would be such a luxurious existence, and every room seemed to have been carefully prepared, and each one corresponded to the corresponding ship lady. For example, when you push open the room of Noah's Ark, there is a retractable curtain hanging on the side wall, a small projector opposite, a prepared computer on the long table next to it, a bookcase full of her favorite hand-made comics and novels, a huge monitor on the side wall next to the window, and an expensive PS4 console below, the whole room seems to have been built for her, everything makes the short-haired girl who is not very talkative scream in horror, like a barking dog pounces on it. The biggest feature of my room is the wind chimes hanging overhead, when the wind blows through the window at night, the whole room will ring a crisp bell, and the tactful sound is like a piano music, which makes people fall asleep with the sound of nature.

"This town guard is called...... Gather prayers to guard the town? Jiqi's tone was a little uncertain.

"yes, it was the avant-garde who named it after you."

No way? Ji Qi still couldn't believe it in his heart, he didn't think he had any ability to make this luxurious town guard mansion named after him, there were only a handful of such privileges in history, and he was a little flattered that a newcomer who didn't have any merits could be awarded this honor.

"And what about Lexington?" Jiqi then asked.

"In the next room, Saratoga seems to be with her sister too, and it seems that she also has a room of her own." Wales replied in a whisper. Last night, she carried the sleeping Admiral into the room with the name of the prayer written on it, and Lexington originally wanted to compete for the right to sleep at night, but when she looked up at the clock hanging in the aisle, she found that it was already twelve o'clock, which was the next day, and today happened to be an odd-numbered day, so Lexington snorted and pulled his sister to push the door open. As soon as he remembered the deflated appearance of the proud secretary ship, Wales couldn't help but laugh.

"Really?" Jiqi nodded, gently parted the girl's hands, and got out of bed to put on her slippers. "I'll go down first and see what I have to eat, and you can sleep for a while." He knew the bad habits of young girls, no matter how early he went to bed, he had the habit of being lazy the next day.

"Go ahead and bring me one." Wales waved goodbye unconcernedly, and a thrust slipped into the admiral-scented bed, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Jiqi shook his head and smiled bitterly, pulled the wooden door on the switch, and the corridor outside was covered with plush carpets, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on it like raindrops, heralding a new day.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Ground floor hall

Jiqi helped the downstairs slowly down, crossed the fence and saw a familiar figure on the log table in the center, a girl with loose blond hair wearing a white pleated skirt, with a left fork and a right knife, cutting the steaming steak on the plate little by little. Hearing the crisp footsteps behind her, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the teenager who was walking down the solid wood stairs step by step.

"You're awake, interesting Admiral, I thought you'd only get up when the sun was on your ass." The avant-garde took a small bite of beef from his fork, and his tone was full of teasing.

"Well, I was a little tired last night and slept a little long." Jiqi nodded and walked over to her, pulled out the wooden chair under the round table, and sat down unceremoniously, in front of him was a plate of untouched steak, which seemed to have been prepared for him. "Is this for me?" He asked, pointing to the breakfast, tilting his head.

"Yes, there are two more servings in the kitchen, which Lexington made in the morning." The avant-garde nodded in reply.

"What about her?" Set of prayers.

"She took Saratoga out for breakfast last night and seemed to be going to buy you some clothes."

"Buying clothes? Isn't it in my room? Jiqi didn't understand why his secretary ship was spending all that unjust money.

"Just a few?" The avant-garde laughed and seemed to hear a very funny joke. "I've seen your closet, and there are only three sets of clothes, two sets of white short-sleeved shirts and big pants plus a new set of admiral's clothes. You're too saving, I see that each of your ship's wardrobes is full of them, only yours is empty. And I also heard Lexington say that the last set of Admiral's uniform was worn in tatters, and you still didn't want to lose it, and wore it like a baby all day long, if she hadn't secretly thrown that dress in the original town guard mansion while you weren't paying attention, you would still want to bring it over. At this, her smile gradually froze and her tone became solemn. She stared blankly at the sauce on her plate, not seeming to find it funny. As the secretary general, she has seen countless admirals, each of them wearing the most gorgeous clothes, and every day she will change into a new set, the kind that does not wear the same three hundred and sixty-five days a year. However, when I arrived at Jiqi, in addition to the two sets of Admiral Navy uniforms issued by the graduates of the academy, there were only two sets of summer clothes left in the entire big closet, and the white fabric was washed and yellowed a little, and there were not even winter long sleeves and coats in it, and the avant-garde really didn't know how his thin body survived the cold and biting winter. Is it because there is no money? No way, as long as the government's allowance after becoming the admiral is not very rich, it is more than enough to buy a few wardrobes, and it can be seen from the wardrobe of each of them in Lexington that he is not short of money, what long skirts and short skirts, what evening dresses and pleated gauze skirts, basically there should be. Although those are not high-end brands with a lot of value, they are not cheap goods on the stalls, and they are considered mid-range goods at the petty bourgeois level. But that should be the best he can give them in his own range. As an admiral with no background, this is already his limit.

Perhaps, as he said, he put the ship girls in a more important position than himself. At that time, it could be felt in the stuffy office, in such a hot weather, there was not a single air conditioner in the admiral's own room or even in the office to ward off the heat, but everyone in the room of the ship under his command had one. Thinking of this, the avant-garde felt a little blocked in his heart, and felt that this fool was so stupid that it was distressing. She took a deep breath and suppressed the heaviness in her heart.

"You're stupid, you know?" The avant-garde hung his head, a little envious of the girls with happy smiles on their faces, how lucky they were to meet such a commander and enjoy such love.

"Am I stupid?" Jiqi swallowed a bite of beef and looked at the avant-garde with puzzled eyes, "This is ...... What do you mean? ”

"That's what it means," Avant-garde smiled silently, "you know what? You're the poorest of all the admirals I've ever met, not one. As a commander, what they pay attention to is their face, and clothes are their best labels, whose clothes are good-looking and handsome, whose clothes are made by a certain handicraft master, these can become the talk of their banquet, and those who do not wear well will be ridiculed as a laughing stock. And you are a freak in their eyes, everyone is dressed in suits and leather shoes, and you have a pair of wooden slippers and a white-washed admiral jacket, and you just push the door in, no matter how handsome and good-looking you are, in the eyes of those people you are synonymous with poverty, and you will be excluded by everyone. ”

"Exclusion is exclusion, I grew up in the eyes of countless people since I was a child, and I have experienced countless ridicule and sarcasm, to put it bluntly, I think of them as a dog farting, is the dog barking at you, do you still bite it?" Ji Qi continued to wipe out the breakfast on his plate nonchalantly, he didn't care about anything now but wanted to fill his stomach, and the cynicism of those people was worse than a drop of sauce on the plate.

"It's exactly what you say." Qianwei nodded helplessly, she had already guessed that according to Jiqi's nonchalant character, what those people said was like farting to him, without any nutrition and value. "They're just a bunch of hypocrites with the name of Admiral, dressed up in a high-sounding manner, and they don't know what they look like behind their backs."

"So you hate them?" Jiqi stuffed the last bite of steak into his mouth and wiped his mouth with the cloth on the side of the knife and fork.

"Yes, I always bring a gun with me every time I go to search the Governor's Castle, because then I can at least put the muzzle of a gun to their heads after finding evidence of the crime, and watch them pee their pants with fright." Speaking of this, the avant-garde couldn't stop chuckling, his eyes full of mockery and contempt. She had the impression that most of the people were so weak that they knelt down, and only a few of the cowardly ones were so scared by her that their pants were wet, and the floor was dripping with a fishy yellow liquid. Every time she saw the faces of these people, she only felt deep disgust and disgust in her heart, she thought that all the admirals were the same, until she met the big fool in front of her, she knew that the crows were also white, and she also had a heartbeat day. She looked away at Jiqi, her eyes curled like crescent moons.

"So you're so ...... That's amazing. Ji Qi scratched his head and smiled, he wanted to say that you are so cruel, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he held back, for fear that what he said would be a black gun against his head.

"yes, do you hate me like this?" The avant-garde whispered, the fingers at the corners of your clothes are whitened with force, and she is waiting for an answer, an answer that will determine her life.

"Hate?" Jiqi tilted his head and thought for a while, "I don't hate it, I don't feel like that." It feels like talking to you like a friend who smells like you, you can say anything, and you can talk about anything. ”

"Is that so?" The avant-garde whispered. She seemed to get the courage to continue, taking a deep breath and brewing emotions. "So...... You...... Willing...... Be My ...... Admiral? She hung her head, her voice getting quieter.

The avant-garde has never said a word like today four times, and each time he dared to say it with great courage, like a child who has made a mistake and meets his parents, and there is only cowardice when he comes out of cowardice. She bit her lip, not daring to look at the fool's expression in front of her, glancing at the corner of her clothes and waiting uneasily for an answer.

These few seconds seem like a lifetime of time, and the avant-garde can even hear his own breathing and heartbeat clearly. The majestic secretary general in front of people is like a humble knight at this moment, waiting for the canonization of the monarch, whether to accept or reject it is all in the other party's thoughts. She couldn't imagine how her expression would be when she heard the word rejection, and how heavy her heart would be, because all she prayed for was consent.

I don't know how long it took, but she was almost on the edge of the cliff of despair and closed her eyes in fear, when suddenly a voice like a holy voice sounded in her ears.

"Avant-garde, you are ...... Seriously? You also see, I'm a poor admiral, almost nothing, even so, you are still willing to be my ship's wife? Ji Qi was stunned for a long time before muttering that he initially thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, and that his ears were a little difficult to make after eating too much. After that, I kept replaying what the girl whispered just now in my mind.,Repeat it again and again to confirm that what you just heard was true.,The avant-garde did say that she wanted to be her own ship.。 Because of repeated times, Jiqi still decided to give her the choice, after all, it was the will of the ship girls to join the town guard mansion, and he couldn't force it even if he was the admiral.

"So, are you sure you want to...... Join my town guard and become my ship's mother? Jiqi repeated again, looking at the girl in front of him who was covered by blonde forehead hair with confused eyes.

The avant-garde clenched the corners of his long skirt, and the heart in his chest was pounding. She slowly raised her head, looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief, and repeated in an unbelievable tone, "You mean...... You can be mine for as long as I want...... Admiral? She looked at Jiqi, her pupils beating with a longing light.

Ji Qi turned his head and scratched his head, and whispered, "That's the case, as long as you ...... If you want to, you can do it. ”

"Well, I do!" The avant-garde replied without hesitation, and she trembled and took Jiqi's hand and put it in her palm, her eyes as firm as a sharp goshawk.
