Why are there so many guests today? Besides Radiance, did Aurora invite anyone else?
The girl was equally puzzled.
She thought for a long time, and after confirming again that she had not invited anyone, she shook her head at Xu Huan.
Then, the two of them simultaneously turned their gazes toward the radiance opposite them.
Guanghui put down his chopsticks, tilted his head, met their gazes, and asked with equal confusion:
"Hmm? So you two didn't invite anyone else? I thought you had other guests... After all, you made such a big meal, one or two people couldn't finish it..."
After speaking, the two ship girls were silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Huan together.
They suddenly had a strong feeling that the people who came this time were probably after Xu Huan.
"Uh...is it me...?"
Chapter 54 Can't Get Fat
The facts were just as the two ship girls had guessed.
The uninvited new guest standing outside the door at this moment was Hu Teng, who had come specifically for Xu Huan.
After nearly two days of rest, Hu Teng gradually recovered from the initial excitement of receiving the rain and dew. Unable to bear missing him, he took advantage of a quiet evening and, without informing the Royal Wealth, went alone to Xu Huan's residence.
However, Xu Huan had just left the house, so she naturally missed him.
Returning home directly wasn't her style, and as a ship girl from Ironblood, she couldn't very well ask the Royal Navy ship girls to help her find Xu Huan's location, so she could only figure out his possible whereabouts on her own.
Xu Huan spent significantly less time in Royal Port than she did, and didn't know many familiar ship girls.
After ruling out several unlikely places like the Royal Command Center, Hutten thought of Glorious and Aurora, whom he had met in the supermarket that day.
Judging from the various signs that emerged at the time, the relationship between the two men and Xu Huan was definitely not ordinary. Therefore, at that point in time, the probability that Xu Huan was at their home was the highest.
It's not easy to find out where Xu Huan is, but it's possible to find out directly where Aurora and Guanghui live.
Among them, Aurora's residence was the closest to Xu Huan's location, so she rushed over as soon as she learned the address.
As for the method used to find someone in person's home, it is definitely the most direct one—
The door was gently opened, and the aroma of food wafted out. The blonde girl's bright face looked incredibly soft and lovely under the warm yellow light of the room. Even her golden hair seemed to shine even brighter under the light, making her pale green eyes appear like sparkling gems.
Aurora was a little surprised to see that the visitor was Hu Teng, but she still greeted her politely: "Miss Hu Teng... good evening, may I ask what brings you here?"
"Good evening. I have something important to tell the commander."
Hu Teng continued without changing his expression:
"I just went to his house, but he wasn't home. Did you see him today?"
"Is there something important you need to discuss with the Commander...?"
Aurora's eyelashes fluttered, and she nodded. "He's here with me right now, getting ready for dinner... Is it really that urgent? Why don't you come and have dinner with us, Miss Huteng?"
"Things are actually fine. As for the meal... thank you." Hu Teng nodded.
Regardless of whether it's awkward or not, as long as Xu Huan is there, I have to get involved.
As for urgent matters, although they were just made up on the spot, they were indeed quite urgent in a certain sense.
Anything related to the commander is the most urgent.
When Aurora led Hu Teng into the restaurant, not only Guanghui, but even Xu Huan himself was somewhat surprised.
I never expected Hu Teng to be able to find his way here...
He had just thought Belfast wanted to talk to him about something.
Hu Teng was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that there was another ship girl in the restaurant besides Aurora.
I wasn't wrong, Xu Huan was indeed spending time with the ship girls he was close to, and it was the two of them together.
Hu Teng glanced around and said, "I didn't expect it to be so lively..."
"It just so happens that we've all arrived at this meal... Miss Hutten can also try Aurora's cooking. The Commander guarantees it's delicious," Glorious said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Hu Teng glanced at Xu Huan without leaving a trace.
She had been really looking forward to taking Xu Huan to a barbecue stall she thought was delicious, but he just said it wasn't as good as canned starfish...
Why are you making such a promise now?
Thinking of this, Hu Teng asked, "This... tastes even better than canned starfish?"
The young man nodded naturally.
The ship girl pouted.
After everyone exchanged brief greetings, Aurora, as the hostess, invited Hu Teng to sit down while she went to serve the rice.
At this moment, Hu Teng noticed that all the seats around Xu Huan had been taken by others, and only the seat directly opposite him was available. Although he was slightly annoyed, he didn't say anything.
Next time, I'll definitely come a little earlier if I have the chance...
After many minor hiccups, the dinner finally got on track. The dishes that were originally a bit too much for two people felt just right for four.
Hu Teng initially approached the Aurora dishes with skepticism, but when the fresh and spicy flavors of the ingredients exploded on her taste buds, she finally admitted that Xu Huan's claim that it was even better than canned starfish was a very high standard.
From this perspective... Aurora and many of the ship girls from the Eastern Empire seem to be potential major enemies.
The ship girl recalled her Ironblood faction.
Aside from Roon, there doesn't seem to be any ship girl who can excel in cooking... but Roon herself is the type who is particularly prone to losing control of herself.
But then again... does Ironblood really have its own unique competitive advantage?
Never mind, let's eat first.
Hu Teng sighed, then shoveled another mouthful of rice into his mouth.
The dining table is the best place for people to become familiar with each other. As time goes by, the atmosphere at the dining table in the house gradually becomes more familiar, and the initial awkwardness and politeness completely disappear.
After tasting a piece of braised pork, Guanghui's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately picked up a small piece and put it directly into Xu Huan's bowl.
"Commander, try this, it tastes great..."
As the ship girl was serving food, her large, white, and soft breasts had nowhere to rest due to her posture, and she unintentionally brushed against the young man's arm.
This action was noticed by Hu Tengjing, who had been silently watching from the side.
The Ironblood ship girl, feeling somewhat annoyed, took another bite of rice.
“And this too, it’s delicious. It seems the Commander hasn’t tried it yet…” Glorious picked up another small piece of rib and put it in the young man’s bowl, and the soft chest armor was gently scraped again.
"Mmm... thank you..."
Xu Huan nodded his thanks, but then noticed that Hu Teng, who was sitting directly opposite him, was looking at him with a subtle expression, and a dangerous glint flashed in his contemptuous yellow vertical pupils.
'stare--'
"Hmm? Hu Teng, would you like to try some too?" the young man blinked and asked.
"No...eating too much will make you fat."
Hu Teng shook his head, his voice indifferent.
"Actually, it's not that bad... You won't gain weight from eating one or two meals a day..." Aurora laughed, unaware of the situation.
Chapter Fifty-Five: The War Under the Dinner Table
Hu Teng was somewhat depressed.
What frustrated her was not only not getting a good spot, but also that the two Royal Navy ship girls next to her had a significant advantage in terms of size compared to her.
Putting aside the already famous armored aircraft carrier Illustrious, the light cruiser on the right also seems to have much more to offer.
Hu Teng had previously read a popular science book called "A Study of Human Emotions," which clearly stated that most people tend to prefer "bigger" in terms of aesthetics. Although he didn't know if Xu Huan thought the same way, it was highly likely based on his previous behavior.
The ship girl sullenly shoveled another mouthful of rice into her mouth, then glanced at her chest.
It's not bad, but compared to Radiance...
If she had given up her spot to Guanghui and helped Xu Huan pick up a bite of food, would the accidental scrape have happened? She would have had to be so leaning and close to him...
There's no such thing as an effect that can be achieved unintentionally like Radiance...
Perhaps it would be better if Frederick and the others came.
Hu Teng looked at the other three people at the table, who were having a lively conversation, and began to think.
While Aurora's cooking was indeed delicious, her real purpose in coming here was not the dishes on the table, but the young man sitting directly opposite her.
That's the real feast tonight, the kind of delicious food that needs to be savored slowly and enjoyed to the fullest.
The ship girl glanced at the general layout of the restaurant.
The very traditional arrangement, seemingly to prevent the floor and furniture from getting dirty, features a large tablecloth covering the dining table, which hangs almost to the ground. As long as no loud noise is made, it can effectively cover everything under the table.
In addition, the table wasn't very big to begin with...
She suddenly remembered something interesting.
Does that seem feasible?
