How do I start a romantic relationship with a ship girl?

Page 123

Then, Guanghui stood directly at the door, took the initiative to wrap her arms around the young man's neck, pressed her breasts against Xu Huan's chest, and gently pecked his lips.

"Have you missed me, Xu Huan...?"

Yes, there are..

As the two were whispering, Guanghui looked at Xu Huan's face and felt a slight stirring in his heart. Just as he was about to lean in and kiss his lover, Hu Teng, who was in the distance, finally couldn't stand it anymore and smacked his lips lightly while crossing his arms.

"This is... Miss Hu Teng?"

Looking in the direction the sound came from, Glorious was slightly surprised: "I thought I was early today... turns out there are people who arrived even earlier than me..."

"It's alright... I only arrived recently."

Hu Teng nodded slightly, which was considered a simple greeting.

The two were well aware of each other's relationship with Xu Huan, and since there were no major conflicts between them, there was no need to bring some things up in public.

"Oh, right, this is a small gift... Xu Huan, I asked Aurora before I came, and in Donghuang, moving into a new house also requires some blessings..."

Walking into the living room, Guanghui casually took out a small, beautifully packaged gift box from his pocket: "These are chocolates I made myself these past few days. They might not be the most delicious, but the sugar and milk I used were all carefully selected by me..."

"Thanks..."

Xu Huan accepted it with a smile.

Receiving a gift is naturally a happy thing.

Hu Teng, who was standing to the side, looked at Guanghui and Xu Huan and suddenly froze.

It wasn't until just now, when Guanghui mentioned that she had a gift for the young man, that she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to bring a gift.

I feel like...

It's not that it seems like... it's that I came empty-handed.

I hurriedly searched the ship's storage compartments and found that they contained only shells, ammunition, armor, and the like, which were really not useful under the circumstances.

Fortunately, neither Xu Huan nor Guanghui paid too much attention to the matter, leaving Hu Teng to struggle with it. As a result, he didn't even bother to observe the small interactions between Guanghui and Xu Huan.

After seating the two and pouring them tea, Xu Huan went to the kitchen to get busy.

In the past, he would just sit at the table and wait to be served when he visited other people's homes. Now that he's in charge, he refuses to let anyone else help him cook and entertain guests.

The kitchen was bustling with activity, while the dining room was eerily silent.

Hu Teng pondered for a moment whether it would be too 'controversial' for him to come empty-handed if Aurora also prepared a gift.

Although Xu Huan didn't care about these things, Hu Teng did care more about them in front of the other two women.

Guanghui, standing to the side, sipped his tea silently, his brow relaxed, without uttering a single word.

"Miss Hu Teng..."

Finally, after taking another sip of tea, Guanghui put down his teacup and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.

"Hmm? Miss Radiant... is there something you need?"

Hu Teng snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the ship girl sitting opposite him.

It must be said that, in terms of choosing a partner for a contract marriage, Glorious is undoubtedly one of the most suitable ship girls, a fact that even Hu Teng must objectively acknowledge.

First of all, her figure is so stunning that it puts many ship girls, including Hu Teng, to shame.

In terms of personality, she is like water, gentle yet possessing the virtue of being all-encompassing. She can take meticulous care of every corner, and is considerate and generous in her dealings with others. I have basically never seen her take the initiative to make any requests to Xu Huan.

She was a beautiful woman with striking white hair, charming and lovely, with a touch of allure often emanating from her eyes and brows.

A tough opponent, the kind that makes it hard for you to feel dissatisfied with them.

This is Hu Teng's assessment.

"Miss Aurora will be coming over in a little while..."

Guanghui said slowly, "It's still just the three of us, kind of like last time..."

Chapter 169 Baijiu (Chinese liquor)

The last time the three of them gathered in one hall was when Xu Huan had just arrived in the port area, and his relationship with everyone was not as close as it is now.

Or rather, among the three ship girls, only Hu Teng had the advantage of knowing Xu Huan first and had a close relationship with him.

Now, times have changed, and Glory has also joined in.

As for Aurora, who was the last one to arrive...

Although Hu Teng and Guanghui did not actively inquire, they guessed that they had probably already taken that final step.

After all, Xu Huan used to go to other people's houses for meals every day, so if he didn't cherish such a good opportunity, it could only be said that Aurora was indeed a bit too slow-witted.

If it were either of them, not to mention Hu Teng, who would definitely take the initiative to win him over, even Guanghui would probably have already taken good care of him.

"It's still just the three of us... Isn't that a good thing in a way?" Hu Teng smiled and said, "Or are you thinking of bringing in a few more people?"

“I don’t have that many thoughts on this, Miss Hu Teng… As long as Xu Huan is happy, the number of people doesn’t really matter to me…” Guanghui pursed her lips and replied.

"I'm not as generous as you... I'd love to have the only one sitting at the table right now..."

Hu Teng looked at the young man busy in the kitchen, propped his chin up, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We've known each other for so long... but I don't think I've had many chances to taste his cooking. This time, it's all thanks to you and Miss Aurora's good fortune..."

Although the words sound nice, the underlying sourness was as plain as it could be.

Glorious simply shook his head and explained with a smile, "Actually... Miss Huteng and I are quite similar. I usually don't have the chance to taste the Commander's cooking."

"Hmm... So I guess I'm basking in Miss Aurora's good fortune?"

Hu Teng snorted lightly, looking at the gentle ship girl in front of him with a slightly strange smile.

"No... it's because of the Commander's good fortune, Miss Huteng."

"What...?"

Seeing that Guanghui's attitude had changed again, Hu Teng lost interest and turned his attention back to the young man.

When she first heard Glorious say the exact same thing as herself, she thought that the other person also had some opinions about Aurora, just like her. But after she asked a simple question, Glorious simply stopped talking about it.

However, the information revealed during verbal exchanges can sometimes be very useful. At least now Hu Teng understands that Guanghui is not as tolerant and magnanimous as he imagined, and she also has her own selfish motives towards Xu Huan.

Understanding this is enough for her.

The two stopped chatting, and the restaurant fell silent for a short time, with only the sound of a cleaver hitting a cutting board coming from the kitchen, along with the faint aroma of rice.

Fortunately, the last remaining guest didn't keep the two ship girls waiting too long; just a short while later, the doorbell rang from outside.

The busy young man was at the most crucial moment, unable to leave, so he could only shout out, "It should be Aurora. Glorious Hutten, could you go open the door for her?"

"Okay..."

Guanghui turned around and agreed. But when she turned back to get up, she found that Hu Teng was already walking towards the door.

Although there was a sense that the pace of my steps was being deliberately suppressed, it was still noticeably faster than usual.

"Miss Hu Teng is really something... Is she even afraid I'll steal this?"

Hu Teng didn't hear Guanghui's mutterings and didn't care much. She rushed to the door and opened it cleanly and efficiently.

"Ugh?"

Outside the door, the blonde girl was holding a black jar to her chest, her expectant expression turning to astonishment the moment she saw Hu Teng.

“Miss Hu Teng...? What a coincidence..."

Aurora remained silent for a while before greeting him with a slightly bewildered smile.

Because she had been informed beforehand, she knew that Glorious would be coming today, but she didn't expect that Hu Teng would also be at the Commander's house.

"Um... I just happened to come over today and have a meal with you." Knowing that the other party wasn't particularly welcoming of his presence, Hu Teng simply explained and then stepped aside to make room for Aurora.

"Come in, Xu Huan is cooking right now..."

"Okay...."

"What is that thing you're holding in front of your chest...?"

Hu Teng watched the girl carry the jar towards the restaurant, and finally, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he asked, "It looks a little strange..."

"This? It's a gift I brought along..." Aurora smiled and patted the jar, explaining, "It's some white wine I brewed myself, so I brought it to try today..."

"Liquor?"

"Yes... it's a type of liquor from Donghuang, quite strong. People with low alcohol tolerance might not be able to handle it after just one or two cups..."

"I see..." Hu Teng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

She wasn't too concerned about strong liquor; after all, she could hold her liquor and shouldn't get drunk. However, if both Aurora and Radiant brought gifts...

Should we go and get some supplies now?

Hu Teng didn't want to be outdone by others, especially other ship girls.

It's almost lunchtime now, and if we go out now, we might not have enough time.

Never mind... I'll add it later.

Aurora placed the wine jar on the dining table, gave Radiance a brief greeting, and then eagerly went into the kitchen.
