Chapter 765: Go Take a Bath

If I were to take you out on a date, where would you choose to go?

Bathhouse, Commander, don't you think a date is a very relaxing thing? If you take a nice, comfortable bath now, it would be double the happiness.

This was Qin Ge chatting with Weineituo after returning to the hotel following the banquet, and Weineituo's answer led Qin Ge to ask only this one question before dropping it.

Indeed, ordinary people can't communicate with geniuses, especially someone like Weineituo who is a genius. Qin Ge ultimately decided to just think for himself; although he had already toured most of the city the previous day, being in a hurry he only gave it a quick look and didn't stop to examine anything closely.

So Qin Ge stayed up later that night, laying out the next day's plan in full. If he gave this suggestion to Weineituo, tomorrow's itinerary would likely be just bathing and sauna.

Although bathing and sauna with a great beauty like Weineituo would be very enjoyable, Qin Ge had already prepared the Oath Ring, and obviously in a bathhouse like that it would be impossible to produce it.

Better to go to a more proper place; at least that would ensure pulling out the Oath Ring wouldn't be embarrassing.

The next morning the sun arrived as well; the further one walked toward the Sardinian Empire, the more warmth one felt. The Sardinian Empire, with its Mediterranean climate, was no longer very cold—although not as warm as eternally spring-like Guandao, it was much better than the Northern Union.

The two walked down Talun tuo's main street, but Qin Ge didn't feel they were like a couple; instead, they felt more like patrol personnel.

"Commander, do you like the Sardinian Empire's architectural style? I always feel our Gangqu needs a building in that style, preferably a bathhouse—what do you think?" Weineituo said, observing the street buildings while speaking to Qin Ge beside her.

"How can you be so obsessed with bathhouses?" Qin Ge said helplessly. "Besides, today is our date—why not visit a nearby attraction?"

"Haven't we already seen all the attractions? Besides, I was born here according to my memory, so this place is quite familiar to me; I went around yesterday and already know pretty much everything." Weineituo said indifferently.

"And Commander, don't you think a bath is very comfortable? In the past, whenever I invited you to bathe, you always made excuses; this time you specially invited me out, so you should go along with my preference."

Hearing Weineituo's words, Qin Ge startled: "Weineituo, when did you get so smart? You even learned this line!"

"Huh? Commander, are you doubting my intelligence?" Weineituo asked doubtfully.

"No, I suddenly feel you've gotten all serious all of a sudden—I can't quite accept it; I still like the you who always says you want to take a bath and always says you want to go to the beach to build sandcastles." Qin Ge nodded.

"Ha, that's just part of my interests; I have many other interests, Commander—do you want to hear about them in detail?" Weineituo laughed, gesturing as if about to list her interests.

Qin Ge quickly waved his hands: "Let's talk about that later; how about we first go get something to drink and chat?"

"Drinking is only pleasant when bathing; moreover, when the occasion calls for it, it's especially suitable to drink alcohol, then lie lazily in warm water—how pleasant that is."

"Today we're together, with so much time we might as well go together. Commander, I asked Weineituo yesterday which bathhouse in Talun tuo is better; she already told me, so let's just go try it today." Weineituo said.

"Cough, but is it appropriate for a man and a woman to go bathing together?" Qin Ge said helplessly.

"Eh, Commander, you were actually worried about that?" Weineituo laughed. "The mist in the bathhouse is very thick; even up close you can't see anything—or are you really hoping to see me?"

"Cough, it's just that there's an old Eastern saying: men and women should not be intimate. So I feel it's not good for us to go bathing now; better to stroll nearby, and after we establish our relationship, wouldn't it be fine to go together?" Qin Ge said embarrassedly.

"Why go through all that trouble? Commander, I actually understand your feelings completely; after going through so many factions, every shipgirl who got on good terms with you received an Oath Ring, and since you asked me out today, how could I not feel your fervent affection?" Weineituo laughed.

"Moreover, in Gangqu, by Commander's side, I have obtained many things I once dreamed of—such as strength, trustworthy companions, and a sense of security I never had before."

Furthermore, Commander helped fulfill my past promises, spreading our fleet's glory across the entire sea; we rescued the difficulties of the Nine Major Factions, and the medal on Commander's chest is the best proof.

So now my feelings toward Commander are sincere; Commander, I have gained so much from you—tell me, if it were you, what would you want to gain from me?

"What to gain?" Qin Ge startled, then suddenly laughed: "I never thought about this question; if I must say I have some pursuit, it's just hoping you can be happy every day, full of smiles—likewise that's what I expect from everyone."

You've been fighting hard on the battlefield, so I hope you can relax during your leisure time and spend each day happily—this is my wish, and also what I hope to gain from you.

"Commander, such a simple wish, I can fulfill it for you now." Weineituo said with a smile. "Moreover, I am willing to spend my lifetime fulfilling this wish of yours."

"Thank you." Qin Ge laughed.

"Eh? Shouldn't Commander, at this moment, smoothly take out the Oath Ring? Why just a simple thank you?" Weineituo asked doubtfully.

"But this is the main street, and we're standing by the roadside?" Qin Ge said.

"This place is great, the scenery is also great—you see everyone's faces smiling, what a wonderful place." Weineituo laughed. "Moreover, after I accept Commander's ring, am I Commander's marriage ship? Then the two of us going to bathe together would pose no problem, right?"

Qin Ge's face darkened: "After saying all those moving words, is it still just about going to bathe?"

"Could it be that Commander intends to give me the Oath Ring in the bathhouse?" Weineituo laughed.

"Tsk, you're ruthless."

"Hehe, hurry up, Commander. The bathhouse Weineituo mentioned earlier is nearby; we'll get there soon."

"Well..."
