Chapter 993: Morning

Being inside the Sirens fortress, it's very difficult to get up at the first ray of morning sunlight.

When he opened his slightly sleepy eyes, the dim yet warm light made Qin Ge flinch. Habitually raising his hand to check the alarm clock on the bedside table, he found there was no alarm clock there, replaced instead by a red teacup.

Qin Ge suddenly realized that he hadn't spent the night in his own room; he and Guanghui had chatted until very late, and even though they were sitting on the bed, they leaned close and said many things.

So what happened next was very simple—since we were already here, why go back to my own room?

Thinking of this, Qin Ge turned his head and saw Guanghui lying beside him; although still asleep, her two arms tightly held his arm against his chest, deep in that endless cleavage.

The soft feeling and the wafting fragrance told Qin Ge what a tender haven is.

Watching this, Qin Ge chuckled and shook his head, then lifted his gaze toward the foot of the bed. He remembered that, aside from his own room, the rooms here seemed to be arranged the same way.

Back when I was in Zhenhai's room, I hadn't found an alarm clock either; after her reminder, I finally saw a hanging clock on the wall at the foot of the bed.

Sure enough, Qin Ge also saw the same hanging clock on the wall in Guanghui's room.

"Is it six o'clock?" Qin Ge glanced at the time, yawned, and said, "Time to get up."

This time is indeed when he should get up; previously he might have woken later, but since receiving the blessing, Qin Ge basically wakes at this hour every day.

He then turned sideways and kissed Guanghui deeply on the lips; this movement naturally woke her. When she opened her eyes and saw Qin Ge's face right before her, she instantly closed her eyes, released the arm that had been holding him, extended her only movable arm, and wrapped it around Qin Ge's neck.

The time spent immersed in that sweet embrace wasn't long, after all it was early morning, and Qin Ge didn't want things to go too far.

Seeing Guanghui's face flush from the kiss, he smiled and said, "Get up."

"Huh?" Lost in sweetness, Guanghui waited for Qin Ge's next move, dazed for a moment; her previously watery big eyes instantly became clear and bright.

"I thought the commander was going to launch a night raid..."

Qin Ge rolled his eyes, "It's already six in the morning; you slept so well last night, so there's no talk of a night raid."

Guanghui blushed recalling last night, then worried and wondered, "Commander, will what happened last night affect you today? Or should you rest a bit longer?"

"Hehe, now I remember—you never said anything like that back then." Qin Ge smiled; last night the two of them talked for a very long time, such pure communication. It almost feels like we're back to the honeymoon period.

"Don't worry, my body is fine now; even if we did that every day like last night, there would be no problem."

While saying this, Qin Ge reached out, grabbed Guanghui's hand, and slapped it onto his own chest.

"Hehe, hear that? This is the feeling of strength!"

Watching Qin Ge's antics, Guanghui couldn't help but laugh, "I feel that since you came back, commander, you've become more confident."

"Of course."

Qin Ge grinned, "After all, in the harbor district, without a strong body I might have become a sickly weakling by now."

Although his physique used to be very strong—strong compared to ordinary people—after the blessing, it's no longer something that can be explained merely as 'strong'.

Qin Ge felt he now truly possessed a superhuman physique, though he lacked the corresponding strength—but that was enough for him, since he never aspired to be a savior like a superman; his greatest wish now is simply to enjoy a happy, joyful life alongside his warships.

The two got up amid such laughter and chatter, quickly tidied up, left the room, walked out through the Royal passage, and headed toward the passage where the logistics supply is located.

After all, the mess hall is right there.

The early-morning mess hall didn't have many people, but it had already opened its doors early.

"Commander Qin Ge, what made you decide to eat at the mess hall today?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Ge and Guanghui turned their gaze toward a dining spot.

"Good morning, Yixian," Qin Ge said with a smile. "Before, it was always like that, a bit too troublesome, so afterwards I've been coming here to eat."

"Hehe, so it's the same as before?" Yixian asked.

"Same." Qin Ge replied readily.

"All right, Miss Guanghui?" Yixian asked with a smile.

"Same; I also haven't eaten anything made by Miss Yixian for a long time." Guanghui laughed.

"Please wait a moment, you two."

"Okay."

Qin Ge brought Guanghui to sit at a table; Guanghui watched the busy Yixian and smiled, saying, "It feels like we're back to when we were with the commander at the Commander Academy."

"Ha, when we two first arrived at the Commander Academy, every meal was brought back by Bei Fa." Qin Ge laughed.

"Mmm, although that's the case, the taste is just like back then." Guanghui said, blushing.

"Indeed, the taste is the same as it was at first." Qin Ge also turned his head to look at Yixian.

This Yixian is the same Yixian from the Commander Academy; when she heard that the Sirens fortress's rear kitchen needed staff, she signed up without hesitation at the Commander Academy.

Due to some special reasons, Donghuang quickly approved it, so she was among the first to come from Donghuang's homeland to the Sirens fortress as a logistics shipgirl.

At first, when Qin Ge saw Yixian, he was a little surprised; after learning the reason, he felt deep admiration.

Although the front-line logistics post isn't as dangerous as combat units, it still carries corresponding risks; anyone who can come here, one and all, is contributing to this war.

So even when facing some unfamiliar shipgirls from other factions, Qin Ge will show the utmost respect and communicate with them.

Doing this also improved the reputation of Qin Ge among almost all the logistics shipgirls who came, filling everyone with motivation; thus, from the day the base fortress officially began operation up to now, there have been no problems at all.

Every post is fulfilling its duties, striving to perfectly complete this combat mission.

Just as Qin Ge drifted into thought, a lively voice sounded.

"Hehe, I knew the commander gets up early every day, so coming to the mess hall I'm sure to see him."

Drawn by the sound, Qin Ge looked toward the mess hall entrance, where several silhouettes stood, all smiling.

"Eh, Hao? You guys got up this early?"

"Of course, because when we were leaving, we wanted to tell you in person, not just make a simple report."
