Chapter 555: Straight Ball

"Guanghui?"

Qin Ge looked somewhat surprised at the beautiful woman lying on the bed, and said in astonishment.

You should know that Guanghui is usually a very elegant lady; a beautiful and charming woman could be said to be someone like her.

Whenever she spent time with Qin Ge, her manners were myriad, making Qin Ge feel very comfortable. After all, everyone wants to be with such a woman, especially since she likes you from the bottom of her heart.

However, Qin Ge found it strange: why is Guanghui now in his room, and even lying asleep on his bed?

So he took off his commander's cap, placed it on the nearby hanger, then walked to Guanghui's side and gently patted her shoulder.

Different from how he wakes Xinong, because Qin Ge thinks that if he used his finger to poke Guanghui, it would be very rude. But when facing Xinong, he can gently poke her awake; perhaps this is because the two give him different feelings.

Indeed, after the gentle pat, Guanghui slowly opened her somewhat tired eyes, and then saw Qin Ge standing beside her.

"Yah, Commander!?" Guanghui sat up straight away, hurriedly tidied her appearance, and finally looked at Qin Ge with an apologetic face.

"Sorry, Commander. Perhaps I was too tired, so I fell asleep here without your permission, and I didn't even know when you would come back."

Seeing Guanghui's apologetic expression, Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's fine if you fell asleep; I don't blame you at all. But how did you come here? Is there something you need?"

Guanghui got up from the bedside and said to Qin Ge, "There is a matter I need to consult the Commander about; I should have asked earlier, but because we went into battle first and were delayed for a few days, I came over as soon as I returned."

However, it seems that even though you just returned today, the Commander's affairs are still quite busy; it's already this late, and you only just came back.

Qin Ge chuckled and said, "This is also unavoidable; although our battle in the previous sea area has ended, we still have to deal with the Nine Major Factions upon returning, and we need to fight for our fleet's interests, so there may be more matters."

However, getting back to the point, Guanghui, what is your matter? Do you need my help to consult?

Qin Ge said while unbuttoning his commander's uniform, but just as he had undone half of them, Guanghui came over and took over the task from his hands.

As soon as he saw someone helping, Qin Ge naturally straightened his body and let Guanghui help him undo the buttons.

"Isn't it almost New Year? Before, I always wore ship equipment or my usual casual clothes to attend the Spring Festival gala, which always felt weird, so I hope this year I can wear some Donghuang-style clothing."

"Actually, I could have gone to ask Zhenhai, but I'm not that familiar with her usually, so it's still hard to bring up such a question; that's why I came to ask the Commander." Guanghui said while unbuttoning her clothes, speaking to Qin Ge.

"Oh, I see." Qin Ge nodded, and then, with Guanghui's help, took off his commander's uniform.

"Do you have any suggestions, Commander?" Guanghui asked.

Qin Ge chuckled and said, "Speaking of Donghuang clothing, I believe you have seen many Donghuang shipgirls before. For example, Yixian, Ninghai, Ping Hai, and Zhenhai wear cheongsams."

Such clothing was one of the most common attires for them in that era; its style is somewhat similar to a dress, but also differs in many ways. Anyway, there are many details, and I only know this from hearsay.

Going further back, it should be the Ming Dynasty era, which is also the period when your Royal Fleet first defeated Spain's Invincible Fleet; the popular styles then were the joyful China skirt, phoenix-tail skirt, and similar skirts.

Also there were the Tang dynasty's exposed-chest skirts, pomegranate skirts, and so on; Donghuang's history has seen many popular clothes. One reason is that Donghuang's history is very long, with continual integration of other civilizations, causing evolution in attire.

Guanghui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Commander, the more you say this, the more torn I feel; I don't know how to choose. What do you think would look good on me?"

Qin Ge startled, then said, "Whatever you wear looks good."

"Ah la, today the Commander is unexpectedly gentlemanly." Guanghui said with a smile; obviously Qin Ge's answer made her very happy, "but this is not the answer to my question."

"Cough." Qin Ge came to his senses and then said to Guanghui, "Actually I think you look great in a cheongsam or hanfu, because you already have a superb figure and are beautiful; no matter what you wear, it will surely suit you."

"If that's the case, then let's wear a cheongsam." Guanghui smiled and said, "After all, most Donghuang shipgirls in the port area wear cheongsams, so dressing this way wouldn't make you stand out, right?"

Qin Ge chuckled and said, "Alright, besides this matter, is there anything else?"

Guanghui held Qin Ge's commander's uniform, smiled and asked, "Are you in a hurry to rest, Commander?"

Qin Ge quickly waved his hand, "No, it's just that I saw you lying here asleep earlier, so I want you to go back and rest early."

Guanghui's face turned red, "Um, it's just that your bed is too comfortable, so I sat here waiting and waiting, and unknowingly fell asleep."

Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle, "Really?"

"Yes." Guanghui grabbed Qin Ge's clothes and said, "So Commander, would you mind letting me also experience staying overnight?"

"Cough..." Qin Ge coughed a few times from being choked by Guanghui's words, "Sorry, I didn't hear you just now, what were you saying? Could you say it again?"

Seeing Qin Ge's state, Guanghui couldn't help but smile and said, "I've heard that Xinong often stays overnight here to sleep, and besides, today I also feel that your bed is extremely comfortable, so could I also spend a night here?"

"This..." Qin Ge is indeed a bit dazed now, looking at Guanghui's smiling face, he is at a loss for words.

Guanghui saw Qin Ge's troubled expression and thus teased, "Ah la, could it be that the Commander is unwilling?"

Qin Ge hastily waved his hand, "Not that meaning, just..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Guanghui smiled and said, "Then, if you say it this way, have you already agreed?"

Qin Ge again flusteredly waved his hand, "No, just..."

Unexpectedly, Guanghui interrupted his words again, with a somewhat dejected expression, saying, "It seems the Commander dislikes Guanghui..."

"Well, I really don't mean that..." Qin Ge was momentarily speechless, feeling that this matter is becoming increasingly difficult to resolve today.
