Chapter 774

Hmm, the weather is nice and sunny, it's a day suitable for sailing.

Standing on the command ship's deck, Qin Ge spread his arms; he was no longer in the tight state he had after New York Port, but wore only swim trunks, revealing his fit physique.

Hehe, that's right, the feeling of being back at sea is still the best. Weineituo said with a smile.

And most importantly, I don't have to wear heavy coats anymore. Qin Ge said with a smile.

I thought the commander would say the most important thing is that we can go home. Guanghui said with a smile.

Qin Ge chuckled, "Indeed, we're about to go home; it's been almost four months since we left the port area, although we went back once in between, we didn't stay long before leaving again, this time we can finally return home steadily."

Yes, after staying nearly a week with White Eagle, Qin Ge and his fleet finally embarked on the journey home. Besides Enterprise, Bumblebee, Hai Lun Na, and Saint Louis, Qin Ge, keeping his previous promise, also gave rings to North Carolina and Lie Ke Xing Dun, making them happy for several days.

After that, Qin Ge stopped giving out rings, happily spending a few days playing with the shipgirls at White Eagle, then after Bisimai and the others finished discussing cooperation, he bade farewell to the White Eagle camp and left New York Port.

Commander, the sun here is still quite strong; could you help me apply some sunscreen? Ou Gen Qin Wang, lying on the beach chair, said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge blinked his eyes, "You shipgirls don't get tan, right? I'm the one who really should be applying sunscreen, look at me—compared to when I first summoned you, how dark have I become?"

Ou Gen Qin Wang chuckled, "Oh? I think the commander looks more resolute this way, like a true commander who has fought on the battlefield."

After Ou Gen Qin Wang said that, Guanghui and Weineituo beside her couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Ge rolled his eyes, "Although what you say is quite right, but wouldn't it look better if I were paler? My skin tone is now almost the same as Gu Tianluo's..."

"Who is Gu Tianluo?" Guanghui beside her asked doubtfully.

Qin Ge embarrassedly waved his hand, "Cough, that's a star from my world, you can think of him as an idol. Originally he was a fresh-faced, pale pretty boy, but he loved bronzed skin, so he basked on the beach and ended up extremely dark."

"Do you also follow stars, Commander? I can't see it at all in your life; I've never heard you discuss this. If Listek Star Dun knew, I estimate she'd be very happy." Guanghui said with a smile.

Qin Ge shook his head, "Actually I don't really follow stars anymore; I just happened to watch a TV drama he starred in, and given the era I was in, information was extremely explosive—you could see related info everywhere—so I just paid a bit of attention."

"But if it were Listek Star Dun, I believe I would really like her."

"Hehe, if you didn't like her, you wouldn't give her a ring, would you?" Weineituo chuckled, "Besides, I'm curious—who do you plan to give rings to when you return to Gangqu?"

Qin Ge thought, "As for the Sakura Empire, there might be quite a few—for example, Nengdai, who has been with me the longest, the first shipgirl I summoned; no matter what, I should give her a ring."

"Hmm, that's true. Miss Nengdai may not be good at expressing herself, but she really likes the commander; the data she showed during testing in the Sakura Empire clearly expressed the issue." Guanghui said, "So who else?"

"Tiancheng." Qin Ge smiled, "She's also someone who has always silently supported me behind the scenes; she participates in every command operation, and if I don't give her a ring, I'd always feel somewhat indebted to her."

"Of course, there's also Atago, Shinano, and Hiei—they're veterans of our fleet and have been with me for a long time, so they'd be priority candidates."

"And what about Donghuang? Although our fleet has few Donghuang shipgirls, they are still indispensable. Who do you plan to give a ring to, Commander?" Ou Gen Qin Wang asked.

"Zhenhai and Hai Tian." Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Hehe, I think the commander had planned this all along, arranging things so meticulously." Ou Gen Qin Wang chuckled.

Qin Ge rubbed his nose, "It's not that I had planned it early; it's just that when I thought about giving rings, I unconsciously recalled those I've spent the most time with—perhaps that's just inertia."

"Hehe." The three of them couldn't help but laugh, because they all had rings, and they were also among the people Qin Ge had just mentioned.

"That said, Commander, will you apply sunscreen on me?" Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

"Apply, of course I'll apply—such a bargain, I'm not a blockhead." Qin Ge laughed.

"Ha, but you used to refuse whenever I asked you to apply sunscreen back then—does that mean the commander admits you were a blockhead back then?" Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

Qin Ge gave an embarrassed laugh, "Back then I just wasn't open about it; now our relationship is what it is, and I don't care about those things anymore."

"Hehe, if the commander is going to apply sunscreen, could I get in line? I haven't yet experienced the feeling of the commander applying sunscreen, so I'm a bit curious." Guanghui smiled.

"Me too." Weineituo said, raising her hand.

Qin Ge gave a helpless smile, "Okay, okay, sure, sure—anyway we have plenty of time today; if we can't finish, there's tomorrow, or after we return to Gangqu I could apply sunscreen to you every day, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

"How could that be? Even if it were a lifetime, I'm afraid I wouldn't find it bothersome." Guanghui laughed.

"Wow, Guanghui, you're so cheesy—indeed, the commander prefers this kind of cheesy talk, huh?" Ou Gen Qin Wang teased.

"Hah, this isn't cheesy; it's just expressing my true thoughts—does Miss Ou Gen Qin Wang not want that?" Guanghui retorted.

"Expectations are nothing more than wishful thinking; I'm more of a realist, so I only cherish the time I spend with the commander, and when we're apart, I simply stop thinking about it." Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

"All right, maybe it's just because of our personalities." Guanghui smiled.

She hadn't even thought of arguing with Ou Gen Qin Wang, after all Qin Ge was here, and moreover their two identities would make Qin Ge rather awkward.

"Well, whether it's cheesy or sincere, anyway you're all people I like, so today everyone just lie down nicely—I'll apply it to you one by one, don't rush." Qin Ge looked at the scene before him and smiled; Guanghui indeed was increasingly having the air of a mistress.

Cough, what nonsense are you thinking?

Qin Ge shook his head, immediately clearing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, took the sunscreen Ou Gen Qin Wang handed over, and began applying it to the three of them.
