Chapter 123: Qin Ge Panicked

Belfast's words kept circling in Ou Gen Qin Wang's mind; actually, since the day after being summoned and taking a walk with Qin Ge, Ou Gen Qin Wang had developed an interest in his commander.

This interest stems from Qin Ge's mystery, or rather his concealment. His commander is truly too excellent in strategy and tactics, to the point that many strategies and tactics Ou Gen Qin Wang has never even heard of.

However, relative to his excellence in combat, his life is extremely restrained. It seems that growing up this big, he has never had deep interaction with girls; even after spending so much time together, the Banrenma or Belfast who have affection for him have not had much physical contact.

But when she saw Qin Ge taking Ling Bo out to the Academy together, playing games with Ling Bo, and buying her a game console, that gentleness made Ou Gen Qin Wang feel a bit different.

Just what kind of person is his commander? This has become what Ou Gen Qin Wang investigates during this period, and also turned into one of her pleasures.

Looking at the House Door in front of him, Ou Gen Qin Wang composed himself and knocked. Hearing a "Please come in" from inside, Ou Gen Qin Wang then slowly pushed the door open and, as an afterthought, closed it.

"Huh? Oh, it's you, Ou Gen Qin Wang. What's up? Did you come over for something?" Qin Ge looked up, saw Ou Gen Qin Wang enter and walk toward him, and asked doubtfully.

"Training's over, I came over to see what the commander is up to. How is it? Don't you welcome me?" Ou Gen Qin Wang walked to Qin Ge's side and asked him.

Qin Ge quickly waved his hands, "No way, I'm just a bit surprised that you suddenly came to my room, after all you've never come before."

"That's true." Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded, looked around, and said, "Quite a clean room, tidily kept—must be the Head Maid's work, right?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "Most of my room I tidy myself; Belfast comes every day just to do the cleaning. I originally didn't want her to help, but she said it's a maid's duty, so I couldn't refuse."

So the Head Maid used this trick, huh? No wonder Belfast—given the commander's personality of not refusing anyone, this trick really works every time.

Ou Gen Qin Wang suddenly thought of something, and gave a light nod, "Actually leaving it to Belfast isn't bad; it also frees up the commander's time for other things."

"I always feel like I'm troubling her." Qin Ge said sheepishly.

"So does that mean you've been doing all that yourself—cleaning and tidying the room?" Ou Gen Qin Wang raised an eyebrow and said.

"Yeah, I've done it since I was little; I guess it's become a habit." Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"Since you were little?" Ou Gen Qin Wang's eyes lit up, "Don't your parents help you tidy up?"

"Um… my parents passed away long ago, so basically I handle everything myself." Qin Ge said somewhat gloomily.

I see, Ou Gen Qin Wang's expression didn't change; no wonder, when the Banrenma carried out missions earlier, I heard the commander say he knew a couple in Minghai City and got along well with them.

It's because the commander lost his parents at a young age, never experiencing paternal or maternal love, so when he suddenly met someone who cared deeply for him, he unconsciously came to regard that person as his parents and love them?

That's why, over a long period, he cultivated his commander's independent, self-reliant, and strong-willed personality? That actually makes sense.

Ou Gen Qin Wang feigned doubt and asked, "Well, I think the commander is fairly good-looking among humans; why don't you get a girlfriend? That way you could share the burden."

"Girlfriend?" Qin Ge's face flushed with embarrassment, "Someone like me, without a stable home or any savings, basically doesn't deserve a girlfriend..."

After all, even if I found a girlfriend and we were together, we'd have to live these rather impoverished days; rather than let someone else suffer, it's better for me to remain alone—everything's fine.

"Oh? So the commander has never dated any girlfriend from childhood to adulthood?" Ou Gen Qin Wang raised an eyebrow and asked Song Qingge.

"Although the answer to this question makes me look like a failure, it's the fact." Qin Ge said somewhat speechlessly.

"So you, who have no girlfriend, suddenly became the commander of all these fleet girls—don't you have any thoughts about them?" Ou Gen Qin Wang continued to press.

"Huh? Thoughts..." Qin Ge said doubtfully, "Naturally it's to unite with you all, jointly resist the Sirens, and achieve greater victory."

I see, Ou Gen Qin Wang immediately grasped the crux. From beginning to end, Qin Ge has always regarded them not as girls but as comrades. That's why he continually follows his plan to train them, and thus pays close attention to their emotional changes.

What a fool, Ou Gen Qin Wang chuckled, making Qin Ge beside him seem utterly unbelievable.

"Ou Gen Qin Wang, why did you laugh?" Qin Ge said somewhat surprised to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

To be honest, since that time walking together with Ou Gen Qin Wang and telling many cold jokes, failing to make Ou Gen Qin Wang laugh. I've always doubted whether Ou Gen Qin Wang would laugh, but now he actually laughed out loud, which genuinely surprised Qin Ge.

"Huh? What's up, could my laughing out loud be what's surprising the commander?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said to Qin Ge.

"No, because you hardly ever laughed before; I thought you were like Ling Bo, not much of a laugher." Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"That's just because the commander hasn't paid much attention to me normally, but speaking of which, has the commander ever thought that your fleet girls might like you?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said to Qin Ge.

"Wait... what are you saying? You're saying you actually like me?" Qin Ge froze.

Afterwards he rubbed his face, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room. He would occasionally touch his chin, then scratch his head, his mood extremely unsettled.

Ou Gen Qin Wang saw this and was somewhat speechless: why does his commander, upon hearing this, turn into a monkey? Does he lack self-confidence that much, or are there other issues?

Meanwhile Qin Ge's emotions were already surging, uncontrollable. He had never even considered this question—would his fleet girls like him?

Thinking back to when, after completing a mission, the Banrenma who got MVP demanded that hug from him.

Thinking of how Belfast often brings him a cup of coffee or tea while he works.

Thinking of how Nengdai, although not often speaking, carries out his orders without fail, and during missions constantly guards his back.

Qin Ge panicked……
