Pirate Love System

Chapter 166 'Homecoming'

[Anti-theft test, change to normal chapter after ten minutes]

The aggressive questioning took place in the morning kitchen.

"What's this?"

"Breakfast prepared for you, Commodore, fried eggs and bacon..."

"Where's the egg?"

"...swallowed by oil."

"Where's the bacon?"

"Been eaten by the pot."

"Then what is this remaining black mess?"

"Heart-shaped, does it look like my love for you, Brigadier?"

"..."

The little rabbit who just woke up suddenly became angry.

"Are all your hearts black, huh?"

She stretched out her slender fingers as white as green onions and pinched Nuo Xia's cheek, but looking at the latter's innocent eyes, her heart softened and she was reluctant to use any force.

Is it my own illusion...

Why do I feel like this guy has become so much more handsome when I wake up?

"With your cooking skills, I don't know where you get the confidence to make breakfast for me..."

She finally shook her head slightly, withdrew her right hand, took off the apron from the hook next to her, tied it on, and sighed, "I'll do it. You just have to wait by the dining table."

The apron is white, dotted with strawberry patterns, and surrounded by lace.

After Taotu put it on, she looked more like a housewife. When she turned her back, the loose skirt still couldn't cover the round and straight curves. Nuo Xia's heart palpitated when she saw it, and she inexplicably remembered the battle last night.

.

"Look at your size, idiot." Taotu kicked him in embarrassment, "If you are so free, go and clean the sheets."

"As you command, Brigadier."

Nuo Xia immediately turned around, walked in unison, and left the kitchen.

After arriving in the bedroom, he glanced at the messy mattress and suddenly felt dizzy.

Well, I thought it would be an easy job, but it turns out that the red blood stains on it have dried up in large areas. This is not something that can be done by just cleaning it up. How can I justify it if I don't clean it properly?

He picked up the bedding and quilt, went to the faucet and started rubbing it. As he rubbed it, he couldn't help but start to complain in his heart——

The technology tree of this world is really crooked. There are refrigerators, fans, and black technologies like combat robots, but there is no washing machine. You have to wash the three-piece thick bed set yourself.

Simply outrageous.

———

When the laundry was finally finished, nearly half an hour later, the kitchen table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast.

Taotu had already taken off her apron and was sitting opposite, waiting. When she saw him approaching, she stretched out her slender legs under the table, kicked out the chair opposite with her "Duang" kick, and said with a smile:

"Sit down, it's time to start."

"...That's so considerate, Brigadier. But next time, I suggest it be better to pull it apart with your hands."

The two sat down opposite each other and raised their knives and forks at the same time. The sunlight outside was screened by the lattice window into countless tiny spots of light, which fell on the table. Nuo Xia turned his head to look at the morning light, and then looked down at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him.

.

"Why are you laughing?" Taotu noticed from the corner of his eye the corners of his mouth.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Nuo Xia looked up at her and said seriously, "...it's very warm, like an old couple. I like this feeling very much, Brigadier."

"You are old."

Taotu rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head and continued eating, showing no sympathy at all.

"The omelet tastes good, and the cheese toast is also delicious... Brigadier General, why didn't I know you were such a good cook before?"

"Because you were not qualified to let me take the initiative to cook for you before."

"Is it enough to become a major general now? Brigadier General, it really makes me sad that you are so arrogant and respectful."

"...Then this is the last time, you will cook from now on."

"If you don't mind the taste, I'd be quite happy to be a cook."

A long silence.

"...If you win, I will do it from now on."

Is my cooking skill really that terrible? It's just a little bit weak at most.

"There are also desserts... Hey, where did the lemon slices come from? They are quite fresh. I don't remember seeing them in the refrigerator?"

"Kuzan sent it last night. It's a big bag with ice cubes in it to keep it fresh. I left it at the entrance and didn't bring it in."

"……oh."

It's good to have delivery people.

With such professionalism, Hema Fresh can't offer a high price and hire the frozen chicken classmate back as CEO?

After the meal was almost done, Nuo Xia took the initiative to get up and took over the dishwashing business. Tao Tu was too lazy to be polite and half-leaned in front of the sofa, leisurely sipping freshly squeezed lemonade.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"What?"

Nuo Xia, who was gritting his teeth and fighting against a stubborn oil stain, asked without raising his head.

"My new appointment seems to have come down. Sister He said that Marshal Kong has signed the warrant and issued it."

"What is the specific position?"

"I don't know yet. I'll know later by going to the staff office to confirm." Taotu put down the glass in his hand, "The detergent is in the cupboard above your head."

"You didn't tell me earlier."

The stain was finally gone. Nuo Xia breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and thought for a while, "Should I also go to Marshal Kong and ask him about his arrangements for me?"

"You have just been awarded the title. Logically speaking, if you have arrangements, it won't be that fast. The headquarters probably intends to let you rest for a while. It doesn't hurt to wait for a few days."

"That's not possible. I'm going to take a long leave to go back to the East China Sea. If I take this leave for no reason and lose the chance of returning to the East China Sea, who am I going to cry to?"

Nuo Xia clapped his hands with his fists and paid attention, "It's decided, I will follow you to the fortress building later!"

"That's okay." Taotu didn't care about this, "When we finish our work, let's meet at the gate downstairs."

"okay."

…………

About an hour later.

Headquarters fortress building, top floor.

Ganggu Kong, who had just finished processing a batch of documents, finally found time to meet with Nuo Xia who was waiting on the sofa outside the door.

"Young people are just different."

Across the table, looking at the young major general in a white suit with a calm temperament, Gang Gukong couldn't help but sigh slightly:

"You are so high-spirited and energetic every day. When I look at you, I seem to see my own shadow decades ago."

The female adjutant who was helping to sort out documents and secretly glanced at Nuo Xia from time to time, suddenly black lines appeared on her forehead.

——Marshal, can you please have a little face?

No matter how much younger you are, your appearance and that of Major General Nosha are not on the same level. How are they similar?

"I have always heard Zefa say that you are a diligent and good young man, and you have always been known as a training madman in the elite camp."

On the other end, Cyborg Kong continued to smile leisurely and said, "Now it turns out that it is indeed the case. Why, you have just finished the title award, and you can't sit still anymore. Do you want to find something to do?"

What a good kid.

It would be great if all the generals under my command had this kind of temperament.

"I am indeed here to ask you about my position arrangements, Marshal."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly and changed the topic, "But if there is an emergency combat mission, I may not be able to participate..."

He briefly talked about family leave.

Kong was a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed without any hesitation:

"I haven't been home for a year and a half. That's no problem. I'll give you forty days of leave and let you make a special trip back to the East China Sea to visit relatives. How about that? Is it enough?"

Forty days? This was much more generous than he expected. Nuo Xia felt happy and quickly stood up and saluted:

"That's enough, Marshal, thank you for your understanding."

"Hahaha, forty days is not a long time. After all, even if you take a warship across the windless zone, it will take nearly a month to go back and forth."

Kong laughed loudly, took out a document from the drawer, and threw it in front of Nuo Xia.

"Actually, I had already decided on your appointment before you were awarded the title yesterday. I originally planned to officially announce it next week. Now that you took the initiative to find it, let's see for ourselves."

"yes."

Nuo Xia took the file, opened it, and immediately raised her eyebrows slightly.

The first page is the formal appointment letter, and the position assigned to him is "Major General Deputy Base Commander" of "Xihai First Branch".

This is a little weird.

In branch bases all over the world, the highest officer is usually a colonel. For more important bases, having a brigadier general is the most important thing.

Moreover, the rank of brigadier general would be three levels lower in Marineland, which is roughly equivalent to a major in the headquarters.

When did a dignified major general from the headquarters, who was transferred to a base like this, only serve as deputy base commander?

"The situation in the West China Sea is complex, with rampant pirates and rampant underground organizations. As the largest branch in the West China Sea, the First Branch has a special situation."

Kong saw Nuo Xia's surprise, smiled and explained:

"Not only does it have a scale of more than 3,000 soldiers, it is the only one among the branches in the world, and the fifteen surrounding branches all obey the orders of the first branch."

"So according to previous years' practice, the first branch base in Xihai will have at least one major general from the headquarters."

Kong looked at Nuo Xia and said, "This is a big responsibility. Why, do you still think this position is too condescending for you?"

"I don't feel like I'm giving in. It's just that there aren't many powerful people in Xihai, so it's a bit boring to stay there..." Nuo Xia scratched his head and told the truth, "And why do I have an immediate boss? I always feel a little uncomfortable.

"

If it weren't for his lack of qualifications, with his military exploits and strength, he would be more than enough to serve as a lieutenant general in the headquarters.

Isn't the headquarters worried that the major general who serves as the base commander will be outshone in prestige and popularity and will be under a lot of pressure all day long?

"I want a strong man like you to go to the West China Sea because I hope you can show your strength and clean up the pirate groups and underground forces that are causing trouble there. There are so many things to do, how can it be boring?"

Kong seemed to think of something and shook his head, "As for your immediate boss... don't worry, I believe that once we meet, you will no longer have any objections to the arrangements of the headquarters, and maybe you will be grateful."

Where is I?"

What does this mean?

Nuo Xia was at a loss and was about to ask clearly. Kong already smiled with a mysterious look on his face and waved his hand, asking the adjutant to see the guest off.

Is it true that the higher your status, the more you like to be the Riddler? He smiled and said goodbye to the blushing female adjutant. Nuo Xia held the appointment document and walked downstairs along the corridor, muttering in his heart.

When they arrived at the door, the noon sun was shining directly, which was quite dazzling. Nuo Xia subconsciously took two steps back and decided to wait for Taotu in the corridor behind the door.

"Um?"

He looked around boredly and suddenly found a large bouquet of roses on the lid of the trash can behind the door, at least ninety-nine of them. The petals were bright red and there was still dew on them, which was quite beautiful.

Who would just throw away such a beautiful flower?

What a waste of resources.

"If you fail to pursue a girl, you can't waste it..."

Nuo Xia picked it up and walked around to look at it carefully. But just when he heard the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw Taotu, who had just come downstairs, standing at the entrance of the corridor with a look of surprise on his face.

Looking at myself.

"Okay, boy, you even know how to buy roses secretly."

She took the rose from Nuo Xia's hand, lowered her head and sniffed it gently, with a look of joy on her face, "It's of high quality and it's been done with care. I'm really touched."

"..."

Nuo Xia's eyes twitched, but in the end he didn't choose to expose it. He laughed dryly and said, "As long as you like it, Brigadier."

"Did you get the appointment letter?" Taotu accepted the bouquet with satisfaction and looked at the document in his arms.

"Yes." Nuo Xia handed it over and sighed, "The deputy base commander of the first branch of Xihai is a bit far away. I don't know when he will be transferred back to the headquarters. Brigadier General, it seems that we have to be separated for a while."

It's really hard to let go.

"Yeah?"

Taotu did not open the document, but just threw his appointment letter over, with a sly smile on his pretty face, "Why don't you take a look at mine again?"

No way, Major General Nuo Xia is just too handsome...

Probably because there was no place to trim her hair along the way, Nuo Xia's hair was much longer than when she was at the headquarters. After being simply combed, it was left hanging casually. She wore light brown sunglasses on her handsome face, giving her a free and uninhibited temperament.

If he hadn't been wearing the cloak of justice behind him, anyone looking over would have thought that he was a noble nobleman with a distinguished family background, not a navy man.
