Chapter 19: The Lexington Trial

Lexington stood in front of some old buildings, her long flaxen hair ruffled by the cool evening breeze, and the green silk rippled in the wind.

The town guard in front of her was the last of her plans, and the end of her search journey. Everything needs an end, and so does she. Having been to countless places, seen all kinds of people, and seen countless tragedies and the ugliness of human nature, she seems to have seen through the essence of this world, as if she has seen through the red dust and is ready to escape into the empty door, and make her last trip in the world. Just like Boya and the child, if he hadn't met the child, who was in touch with his heart, Boya would probably have to stay sad until he was old. And now what she is looking for is the so-called bosom friend, if this is not the case, she can only break the strings, stop playing the piano, find a small island, and set up her own door. Build your own town guard mansion, you don't need any admirals, and you can live well.

Lexington straightened his shirt, straightened his hat, and pulled his slender hair to his ears and draped it over his shoulders. The white uniform lined with long flaxen hair showed off her mature temperament.

Tidying up her image was what she had to do before meeting each admiral, just as in ancient times courtiers who wanted to be used to meet the king, she always showed her best side in order to win the king's favor. The same is true for Lexington, whether the other party is the candidate in her mind or not, she will still smile and treat each other politely, so that people can't find the slightest fault in etiquette.

With such a rigorous and serious style, she is also nicknamed by many admirals as the most suitable candidate to become a secretary ship, of course, there are many imaginary people, calling her the "perfect wife", and she is the best candidate for the marriage ship.

And the younger sister Saratoga behind her is the complete opposite of her sister, with a lazy look, like a kitten basking in the afternoon sun. She tugged at the corner of her sister's clothes and whispered, "Sister, sister, remember to ask for more supplies when you go in, we haven't eaten for a long time, it's best to order more aluminum strips, it just so happens that the snacks in my bag are not enough." ”

It is difficult for the wandering independent ship maidens to have sufficient food sources before signing a contract with the Admiral, and the resources decomposed from the corpses of the deep sea are not enough for them to consume in the attack. Therefore, the two sisters wandered in the sea, and they did not starve to death by constantly asking for supplies. Whenever she goes to a town guard's mansion, Lexington, as her sister, will always take the lead, cheekily ask the other party for resources, and in exchange, she will also include the other party in her candidate for the governor.

This is a tacit exchange between each other, and most of the people who can become admirals are the children of rich families who are either rich or noble, some good family backgrounds and huge families as support, they almost lack nothing, only the powerful ship girl. With a little resource in exchange for the favor of the powerful ship girl, no one will refuse such a profitable deal. After all, who can guarantee that she won't wander enough one day to come back to you and make you her admiral?

As a result, every admiral of the town guard will try his best to meet their requests, showing the temperament of a local tyrant in front of the sisters, so as to win a smile from the beauty. If they encounter those with deep pockets, they will be supplied enough to fill their empty space.

And this time will not be an exception, even if it is the last one. Lexington smiled slightly, touched his sister's head, and motioned to reassure her. She looked at the gate of the town guard mansion in front of her, and the corners of her mouth were filled with a polite smile, which made people feel good. After countless attempts, she found that it was difficult for the admirals to refuse the smiling herself, just like Daji, who could charm all beings, even the monarch had to kneel under her pomegranate skirt, let alone ordinary people.

Lexington's eyes were full of confidence, like a witch playing with others.

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

"Are you the Admiral here?" A voice as crisp as a thrush appeared in the doorway, and Jiqi raised his head and saw a throbbing figure. It was a beauty unlike Wales, as if through the chest and straight into the heart. It easily pinched the beating heart, making it difficult to escape.

"Yes, it's me." Jiqi stood up and replied a little nervously, he didn't dare to look at the other party directly, just raised his eyes slightly, and through the girl's slender and delicate figure, he noticed that there was a slightly timid girl behind her, pulling the corners of her clothes, hiding under her long hair, poking her head out from time to time, like an animal that was only afraid of life, carefully observing the surroundings. This should be her sister, Jiqi said as she looked at the girl's petite body.

"I'm sorry to bother you, I'm a shipwreck who has wandered here, and the supplies on my body have been exhausted, I don't know if you can give us some." Lexington hung his head and read the lines according to the script, intending to do as perfunctory as ever. The reason for her preparation did not change every time, and even Saratoga, who hid behind and never spoke, knew what her sister would say next, and in what tone she would say, clearly and without the slightest deviation.

At first, he bowed his head to create a sad atmosphere, and then he raised his head to let the other party be shocked by his beauty, leading him step by step to the trap he had laid by himself. Just like fishing, the best bait is hooked up and waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

After reading the lines, Lexington raised his head slightly according to the script, revealing his beautiful side. Only then did she notice the figure in front of her, it was a slightly emaciated young man, he was wearing a white uniform, the medal on his chest shone in the sun, and his young face was like a white piece of paper, unstained with dust. The eyes under the black forehead were as clear as water, as if a mirror illuminated the hearts of others, and through this mirror without the slightest impurity, Lexington saw himself clearly in his pupils. She was a little stunned, she had never seen such a look in anyone's eyes, clean and translucent, like a mountain stream, and she could see the bottom at a glance. Under the washing of this Wang Qingquan, her heart that was dyed with the breath of the world gradually woke up and faded away from all lead.

She looked at each other in a daze, like an actor who had forgotten her words, not knowing what to say next, and was cramped and uneasy on the stage.

This should be the admiral he is destined for, an existence that can make his heart move, so how should he face him? Is it the same as treating everyone else, pretending to be a pretense? Or open up to him and show who you really are? Lexington dilemma.

is like a prostitute who has performed on stage countless times, performing every day with his own charming posture, facing an audience with different appearances and the same essence offstage.

Every time at the closing ceremony at the end of the performance, they would look at themselves with lustful eyes, wishing that they would walk off the stage and go home with them like a young lady in a custom shop. And he has long seen through their rotten hearts, endured the stench of rot, and used their coveting of their beauty in exchange for profit. However, no matter how dedicated the drama is, there will be a tired day. Every time I perform with great expectations, I hope to see different people and different eyes in the audience. But it's the same, the people who come are still filthy, and the rancid stench is suffocating. After countless repetitions, she got tired and decided to leave this dirty place and live alone in the unseen darkness.

On the last day of her despair, the audience suddenly changed, replaced by someone who really understands you, and the entire audience seemed to be open only for him. He sat upright in the audience, and the clothes on his body were carefully ironed and meticulous. His eyes are clear, and he looks at you with pure appreciation, without any other selfish desires, which is completely different from the perverts before him.

At this time, the performer who ended the performance began to be at a loss, and at the closing of the show, she didn't know what to do, did she rush off the stage to hug this bosom friend and spend her life with him? Or do you silently go behind the scenes, end it all and let him miss it?

Lexington bit his cherry lip slightly, and quickly made his choice. If you encounter it, you won't miss it. She took a deep breath, her eyes as determined as a tiger seeing its prey.

Saratoga, who was secretly observing behind her, also sensed that something was wrong, and her sister did not continue to perform according to the written script at all, but trembled slightly like an electric shock. She looked slightly, and through her sister's long hair, she saw a good-looking boy.

She didn't know how to describe him, but Saratoga could clearly feel that he had a very different aura from those people, clean and refreshing, as if he were back in his own home, even though she had never been home. However, this did not affect Saratoga's rating of Jiji, which was close to full score. If only he could cook, she thought innocently.

"Since it's a shipwreck who wandered here, I think you shouldn't have had lunch yet." Ji Qi said, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and looked at the girl with hope in his eyes. "I don't know what you like to eat? It just so happens that there are some ingredients in the kitchen and I can cook some meals for you. ”

"Admiral, do you know how to cook?" Lexington was a little curious, few of the Admirals she had ever seen could cook, and even if they could, the things on the table were scorched, smoky ones. I want to vomit when I look at it, let alone eat it. Every time Lexington encounters this situation, she will smile and say that she has been full of the "malice" of the back and forth, and in her heart she has already scolded the other party for a bloody head, complaining that he is a waste of ingredients, it is better to give herself a few aluminum bars directly.

But Lexington felt that this Admiral was different, and she saw a strong confidence in Jiqi's eyes, which is the kind of look that only a confident person can have. And the other two ship ladies at the table were also tasting the delicious food with relish, without showing any displeasure, it stands to reason that his cooking skills should not be bad, at least to the standard of being able to eat.

Hopefully he'll surprise me, but even if he's not as good at cooking, I'll still choose to stay. After all, he is the only admiral who makes him tempted, and if he misses it, he will never meet him again.

If only he were as perfect as he had dreamed, Lexington thought greedily in his heart.

"yes," Jiqi replied affirmatively, "I wonder what you and your sister like to eat?" ”

"So, let's have two stir-fried aluminum strips, my sister and I like it very much." Lexington tilted his head and thought for a long time, then gave an answer. She was going to put him to the test if he was really a cook, as he said. And this dish is the best exam question, it is a home-cooked dish that is easy to make and difficult to cook, and the requirements for grasping the heat are very high, if there is a slight deviation, the taste will be completely different.

And Wales and Noah's Ark on the side watched each other's troubles, and they didn't make a sound, just silently enjoyed the delicious food, watching everything happen. They knew that this was a test for the Admiral, and that they had entered the final stage.

Naturally, the wandering ship mother doesn't want to wander everywhere, and she doesn't have a home. What they wanted most was to have a commander and a small town guard. The town guard is secondary, and they are not willing to compromise at all when it comes to the admiral. They have their own strict criteria for choosing an admiral, and if they don't meet their requirements, they'd rather stay wandering than stay put.

And the two sisters were very satisfied with the image of the Admiral, and even if the food they cooked was not to their liking, they would most likely choose to stay in Gelster Town and become one of the Admiral's wives. Wales looked at Lexington, who looked happy and his face was slightly red, and he was even more convinced of his speculation. Turning his head and smiling at Noah's Ark next to him, the two tacitly prepared to leave, leaving them plenty of space.
