"Prince of Wales, I am not very reassured if Admiral goes alone. Someone must be responsible for his safety on the way, so I trouble you to accompany Admiral on this trip!"
"Sister, I can go too."
"Prince of Wales has just returned a few days ago; let her rest well at Naval Base. I'll accompany my brother-in-law!" Saratoga would not miss any opportunity to be alone with her brother-in-law.
"No, you have other tasks today."
Lexington kicked her sister hard under the table. She was almost driven to frustration by Saratoga's lack of awareness!
"I still need to take care of..."
Lexington's meaning was clear to Prince of Wales; she could see the little gestures between the other party and Admiral clearly.
To be honest, it wasn't easy for Prince of Wales to hide her feelings. As a Wedding Ship, Lexington seemed very close to Admiral, while she only had this layer of relationship with Admiral and Fleet Girls, which even appeared more distant.
However, thinking about it, Prince of Wales managed to suppress the bitterness in her heart. As long as Admiral was alive and she could see him regularly and genuinely, that was better than anything else.
As for taking things further, Prince of Wales did not force it; she preferred to let things happen naturally.
All along, Prince of Wales felt that Firefly was not strong enough and lacked the courage to express what she wanted, but wasn't she the same? In other aspects, Prince of Wales was decisive in her actions, but when it came to emotions, she was just a coward.
But this couldn't all be blamed on Prince of Wales; how should one put it? It was probably due to her nature! Just like most traditional women in ancient times, "the husband is the wife's guide," and "all blessings and misfortunes come from the lord." In their minds, husbands were their heavens; whether right or wrong, they would choose to accept silently rather than resist anything.
So, when Lexington said those words, the Prince of Wales instinctively wanted to refuse.
"The fireflies are that big; she doesn't need your deliberate care," Lexington retorted.
"Brother Chu Yang, I'll lend you Sister of Prince of Wales for one day, just one day!" the firefly said playfully.
Loli was not oblivious; she could sense that there seemed to be some coldness between the Prince of Wales and the Admiral.
"Cheapskate, just one day!" Chu Yang teased, then turned his head toward the Prince of Wales.
"Prince of Wales, then I’ll leave my safety in your hands."
"Okay."
The Prince of Wales nodded. Since the Admiral had already spoken, she naturally would not refuse.
The off-road vehicle was still not repaired. To go to Nanan County, they could either take the newly assigned yacht from the Naval Base or drive the large Isuzu Truck; there were no other transportation options available.
The rain continued to fall. Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the brown Truck drove out of the Naval Base under a fine drizzle.
Compared to the yacht, the more enclosed cabin of the Truck was undoubtedly more suitable for deeper communication between him and the Prince of Wales.
Going to Nanan County was just an excuse, so Chu Yang drove slowly.
"At first, when I woke up on that secluded street in Rong City, I didn't even remember my name; I had forgotten everything from before, forgotten the Naval Base, forgotten everyone..."
"Before this, what had I experienced? Where had I come from? I couldn't remember anything at all."
In the enclosed driver's cabin, Chuyang was driving while recounting everything from the past to the Prince of Wales in detail. Of course, that beginning was purely fabricated. It seemed that the more he spoke, the more the lies turned into truths, and sometimes even Chuyang subconsciously believed that things should be this way.
"I have no valid identification to prove my identity, nor do I have a single penny."
"The night I just woke up, I spent it on a park bench, and by the next morning, I was awakened by hunger. You can't imagine how uncomfortable that felt."
Although the Prince of Wales had already heard a rough version of this story, it was not as detailed as it was now, especially under such circumstances. Therefore, he listened intently, not wanting to miss a single word from Admiral.
"Watching that little chubby kid casually throw away a bun he had only taken one bite of, to be honest, I really wanted to go up and give him a good beating."
"If you don't want to eat it, you could give it to me! Why throw it away?"
"If there hadn't been anyone around, I probably would have rummaged through the trash can because by then I hadn't eaten for a whole day. I was really hungry."
"Prince of Wales, do you know why I signed up for Rongcheng Naval Academy?"
"Admiral must have wanted to become an Admiral again!"
"No, at that time I didn't even know what Admiral and Fleet Girls were. It was simply because the recruitment brochure for Rongcheng Naval Academy stated that free food and accommodation would be provided; without hesitation, I signed up, even forgetting that I didn't have any valid identification."
These words from Chuyang were not fabricated; he truly thought that way at the time. As for whether a living person could die from holding in their urine, if one has no money for food, they could go work! Or even beg!
First of all, I don't know if it was her misfortune or what, but not to mention formal employers, even roadside places like Snack Stands or construction sites had no one willing to hire him as an undocumented worker.
As for begging, to be honest, if he went hungry for another day or two, Chuyang might really consider it, but at that moment, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
“...When I first entered the academy, I thought to myself, I should be considered European! So I dreamed of building many repair ships and marrying them all...”
“Admiral, aren't you doing just that now? Your dream has come true.”
“Ahem, let's continue.” Chuyang stole a glance at the expressionless Prince of Wales and coughed to cover his embarrassment.
“...For three whole years, the academy provided me with six opportunities to build ships, but all ended in failure... I couldn't salvage any ships either. To be honest, at that time I was already in despair, just thinking about finding a stable job after graduating from the Naval Academy and marrying a woman who wasn't necessarily beautiful but not ugly either, living a simple life.”
“Do you still think that way now, Admiral?”
“......”
“Well then, Prince of Wales, let's continue.”
“...Just before graduation, I met Firefly. Little Kiddo was standing in front of a window of a Children's Clothing Store...”
