Chapter 526: Hobbies and Interests

Qin Ge sat at the table to the side, chatting with a few maids while waiting for Guanghui and the others to arrive.

Duoduo looked very happy now that Qin Ge had assigned her work, though she was muttering under her breath; however, the distance was too great, so Qin Ge couldn't hear what she was saying.

As for Tianlangxing, she had been standing beside Qin Ge all along, because since Qin Ge appeared, Tianlangxing's work condition had been unstable, so Belfast could only arrange it this way.

Fortunately, the maids soon finished preparations, and Guanghui and the others finally arrived.

"Huh, the Commander actually arrived earlier than us." As soon as Guanghui reached the mountain, she saw Qin Ge surrounded by the maids and said, somewhat surprised,

"Isn't that normal? Did sister forget that when we just arrived we saw Saint Louis in the dormitory?

"She is the Commander's secretary ship; since she could get to the dormitory, the Commander must have gotten off work early too." Victory said to Guanghui beside her.

"Gee..." Guanghui hurried over to Qin Ge's side, "Commander, I didn't expect you to come so early."

"Hello." Qin Ge stood up and smiled, "Today I had less work, so I finished it quickly; after patrolling the port area, I came over here.

"When I came, I was worried I wouldn't make it to the tea party you mentioned, Guanghui, but when I arrived I found you hadn't come yet, so I sat here waiting for you."

"I'm really sorry; as the host of the tea party, I've kept the guests waiting here for so long, Guanghui truly apologizes." Guanghui apologized to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge laughed and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter; we didn't set an exact time when we agreed, so there's no problem.

"When I just came over, I also chatted with Belfast and the others for a while, which wasn't boring. Besides, the scenery here is very nice; I like it here, so even if we weren't holding a tea party, I would still come over to take a look."

At this moment, the others also came over and all greeted Qin Ge.

"Greetings, Commander."

Qin Ge smiled and nodded at everyone, "Hehe, hello, since you're here, please take your seats quickly; Belfast and the others have already prepared everything needed for the tea party."

"Hehe, I suddenly feel that this time the host of the tea party doesn't seem to be Guanghui but rather the Commander." Hu De smiled beside her.

Hu De was summoned when Qin Ge previously summoned Xin ze xi; her elegant demeanor and ladylike appearance left a deep impression on Qin Ge.

It's a pity that there are now quite a few people in the port area, and with Qin Ge having to work every day, the time he can spend talking with them is very limited.

At this moment, Qin Ge looked at the smiling blonde beauty before him and said, "Since we're drinking tea and chatting together, why worry about you and me? No matter what, as long as we relax and enjoy ourselves, that's good."

Guanghui's emotions finally eased, and she continued Qin Ge's words, "Then let's consider this the Commander's tea party; perhaps that way we'll relax even more."

Qin Ge chuckled, "Then I won't stand on ceremony; please, everyone, have a seat."

"Thank you, Commander." Everyone smiled and then took their seats.

Soon, Belfast and the others poured the black tea, then stood to the sides.

"The scenery here is quite nice; with a glance you can see the whole base, even the distant houses are visible. I heard this place was discovered together by Guanghui and the Commander, is that right?" Hu De asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge smiled and nodded, looking at Guanghui, "Last time, when I was on a date with Guanghui, we walked all the way here, originally intending to come to the mountaintop to watch the sunset.

As it turned out, the terrain here happened to be flat, the height just right, allowing us to see the entire outline of the base, and even some of the surrounding sea can be seen.

So we decided to turn this place into a scenic spot we could visit often, and the current results look very promising."

"Thanks to the Commander reminding us to watch the sunset together, otherwise we might have missed this beautiful place now." Guanghui smiled.

"Hehe, it feels like Guanghui and the Commander have a very good relationship; I'm a little envious." Hu De smiled.

"Ah, Miss Hu De doesn't need to be envious; the Commander has a very good personality and is very easy to get along with." Guanghui smiled.

"I completely agree with what Guanghui sister said." Victory laughed beside her, "Although our time in the port area hasn't been long, everyone I've talked to shows a genuine smile whenever they mention the Commander.

"Even Tirbici, who usually doesn't like to talk, will break into a genuine smile."

"I know all that, though; since I'm also new to the port area, if possible I'd also like to learn about the Commander's hobbies to get closer." Hu De laughed and said.

"My hobbies?" Qin Ge chuckled, "Right now I myself can't even say clearly what my hobbies are.

"When I first came to this world, my biggest hobby back then was reading books—all kinds of books on military strategy, or books introducing warships; I liked them all.

"After coming here and entering the Commander Academy, on their suggestion I bought a guitar; when I have free time I pick it up and play a bit, which also counts as a hobby, although I play rather averagely.

"As the fleet grew, most of my time has been spent on sorties and keeping them company in daily life.

"Playing video games, learning Go, learning Xiangqi, and so on—I've gradually started studying them. So far I don't know what my hobbies are, or perhaps my hobby is simply being with you all, making you happier."

"Perhaps this is the Commander's duty—turning the work he must do into his own hobby." Hu De smiled.

"But getting back to the topic, what are your hobbies, Hu De? Maybe I can introduce you to some fellow enthusiasts." Qin Ge laughed and said.

"My hobbies? My biggest hobby is probably reading, such as poetry and the like." Hu De said.

"Poetry?" Qin Ge laughed, "Indeed, Hu De looks elegant all over, and even her hobbies are elegant.

"But speaking of poetry, Hai Tian of Donghuang also has very profound poetic accomplishment. Although she likes the ancient poetry of Donghuang, I believe the two of you will definitely be able to chat together."

"Hai Tian of Donghuang?" Hu De pondered a moment, then told Qin Ge, "When I have free time next, I'll chat with her."
