Chuyang always found it strange how those images suddenly appeared in his mind. If it were due to physical contact with Lexington, it wouldn't make sense! Earlier at the dock, when he tried to help Lexington with her suitcase, he had touched her hand, but nothing happened then; he even received a glare from her.
However, just now, the same contact—only switching from his right hand to his left—triggered such peculiar events. Not only did it remind him of many things from when he played games, but it also made Lexington and the fireflies recall him. What was going on?
Well! Although Lexington's skin was delicate and smooth, her long, fair fingers concealed an incredible strength. But a hand is just a hand; it couldn't be anything else. Or perhaps one could say that Lexington's hand was a magical hand that could awaken memories...
In any case, there was nothing special about Lexington's hands; they couldn't possibly be the mysterious medium causing all these events.
When Lexington waved the ring on her hand for Chuyang to see, he had a vague suspicion because that ring looked too familiar.
The exquisite craftsmanship, with facets like those of a gem, and its flawless quality seemed to emit a brilliant halo. However, it... was just a nine-dollar item from Taobao with free shipping and included a free gift. It was truly an essential tool for home travel and casual encounters.
Of course, if he wasn't mistaken, this ring on Lexington's hand was definitely worth more than nine dollars.
"Um... could you take off the ring on your hand?"
"Admiral, this is a gift from you. You don't mean to take it back, do you?" Lexington said with a look of sorrow. Suddenly biting her lip, she pretended to take off the ring and bravely said, "You are the Admiral; you can say whatever you want. I will take off the ring right now, but I wonder who the Admiral intends to give it to? Bismarck, Richelieu, or Prince of Wales?"
These few had been eyeing the ring covetously back at Naval Base. Oh right, there was also Akagi, who had been eager for the ring when she entered the First Fleet as a substitute while feeling unwell. But if one truly thought that Lexington was as easy to bully as she claimed, they were gravely mistaken.
Who is Lexington? She is someone who can navigate both social gatherings and kitchens, fight off rivals and deal with rogues. She can sell cuteness, act silly, play the girl next door, portray a queen, flaunt her limits, and blush like a new-age versatile wife—Lexington.
Do not mention those few mistresses; even the fourth one is not here. Even if they all come back in the future, Lexington has absolute confidence in firmly holding Admiral's heart and securing her position as the main wife.
The reason she is acting this way now is merely a small tactic of retreating to advance. As a wife, being virtuous is essential, but she cannot be overly accommodating to her husband in everything. Otherwise, it will only make him feel that everything is taken for granted, leading to even more reckless behavior. Such a mistake is one that the shrewd Lexington would never make. What she needs to do is let Admiral know that she is very virtuous and fully capable of being the main wife, but she is also a delicate woman who needs Admiral's affection. Through some small matters in daily life, she can firmly tie Admiral's heart to her, making him unable to leave her, even feeling guilty about her when he sleeps with other women.
So, in a way, wives can be quite formidable.
"Um." Chuyang swallowed hard. There was nothing he could do; Lexington looked too alluring at that moment.
How should he put it? Usually, Lexington exudes a sense of composed and gentle intellectual beauty. But now, just look at her mournful eyes and delicate expression, combined with that unique aura between a young girl and a mature woman; she was simply an exquisite wife.
"Admiral, am I beautiful?" Seeing Chuyang staring at her dreamily, Lexington's expression became even more delicate, and her voice grew softer and sweeter. "That ring."
"Just wear it!" Chuyang replied without thinking. After saying that, he suddenly realized and awkwardly scratched his head. "Madam, doesn't the inner side of the ring have the letters CY engraved on it?"
When he played Fleet Girls, out of curiosity, he had specially ordered a so-called "Contract Ring" online for fifty bucks, and the initials of his name were engraved on the inner side as "CY."
"Yes." Lexington nodded. This ring was given by Admiral as a wedding ring; Lexington cherished it dearly and was naturally very familiar with it. At that time, she couldn't understand why it was engraved with two unrelated letters instead of "love," but now she realized those letters represented Admiral's name! Unfortunately, when they were at Naval Base, no one knew Admiral's name; otherwise, perhaps she would have found him much earlier. Because in Dean Lexington's office at Rongcheng Naval Academy, there was a roster of all faculty and students. When she went to find Lexington back then, she had casually flipped through it, and "Chuyang" had appeared before her eyes more than once.
"So, Madam, could you take off the ring for me to have a look?" At this moment, Chuyang's heart surged with waves; he finally understood the root cause of everything happening.
He remembered that night before his crossing; he didn't know why—maybe he was drunk or just being silly—but he took this ring from Lieutenant General out of his desk drawer and put it on his finger. When he woke up the next day, he found himself in this world. Everything he carried with him was there, including his wallet, phone, keys in his pockets; however, the only thing missing was the Contract Ring on his left hand's ring finger.
"If Admiral wants to see it, then take a look!" Saying this, Lexington generously slipped the ring off her finger and handed it to Chuyang.
For Lexington, she was very clear about when to act coy and when to hold back. Therefore, there was not a trace of displeasure on her face; her smile remained gentle.
"Indeed."
When Chuyang's hand touched the ring, scenes from earlier appeared in his mind like a movie.
However, after Chuyang carefully examined the ring and confirmed that it was indeed the one he had custom ordered online, just as he was about to return the ring to Lexington, it suddenly shattered in his hand, turning into countless tiny particles that fell from his fingers.
"What...?" Chuyang stared blankly at Lexington sitting across from him.
What should he do after breaking the wedding ring in front of his wife? He felt quite anxious.
