Hello, Admiral Akainu
Chapter 14
What did Sakaski say to me that made me angry? It was like a pangolin saying something about why pigeons are so big. It made my Virgo OCD act up.
Yes, I'm a Virgo.
Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to ask him that. Wouldn't it be worse if I didn't get an answer?
After the mission was completed, there was no mystery package this time. As usual, A8 came out to sprinkle some flowers and disappeared. I didn't know what he was doing.
I guessed that he was going to deliver a package for me …
See, after delivering a package, A8 changed from "it" to "him". It could be seen that I was a kind person.
Although I knew that I wasn't kind at all.
Most of the urgent things had arrived. I looked at the water in the bottle. When it was a little bit, I threw a bubble flake into the bowl and watched it boil with anticipation.
Speaking of which, the best Effervescent Tablets I've ever drunk, and because it's really delicious, I drink it every day. It's the same as Fanta, and it doesn't have that strange taste at all.
Then, I took a bite of Tai Nuo.
While I was taking the medicine, I suddenly remembered something. Now, on this island, a single man and a single woman, in a room … Although it couldn't be considered a "room", and I was sick too. If nothing happened, I would feel sorry for myself. Whoa?
Hugging the newly arrived down sleeping bag, I blinked at Sakaski. I instantly thought of an emoji patting the bed. But Sakaski's bottom line seemed to be a bit high …
Rubbing my chin, I didn't think too much and just let nature take its course.
Yesterday, I was hugged to sleep by him. Hehehe, hehehe.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Did I laugh?"
I looked at him innocently. I guessed that there was still a trace of a smile on my face. "I was laughing the whole time."
"Why?"
"Why else would I cry?"
I asked back and patted the area beside me naturally. "If Sakaski wants to, he can sleep here too."
"You …"
"Didn't you hug me to sleep yesterday?"
I blinked my eyes on purpose. After he changed his clothes, he was only wearing a Navy cap. Even if he wanted to cover his expression with the cap, he couldn't.
An old man of 40 +, hmph.
I lay down and continued to sleep. However, perhaps it was because I had slept a little too much earlier, so I couldn't fall asleep immediately. I closed my eyes and didn't think about anything, so I couldn't feel sleepy.
After a while, I could feel another person beside me. He didn't lie down but leaned against the wall of the cave. But at least he was beside me.
'Ah, I'm instantly relieved.'
My breathing became long and steady. It was as if I had just confirmed something, and I instantly relaxed.
I could feel his helplessness. Nestled in my sleeping bag, I couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, I remembered the way Silkworm Baby used to eat mulberry leaves. My mother told me that Silkworm Baby didn't seem to change much when eating mulberry leaves. You could tell that it was slowly eating the leaves.
Nibbling.
I was nibbling away at Sakaski's bottom line bit by bit. Then, I would slowly mix my own bottom line with his. I would do my best to enter his range and let him get used to my existence.
A habit can be formed in 21 days, or even less.
For example, Ah Jin and I only knew each other for three days, but we already felt that we were close friends and couldn't bear to part ways. (Cough cough). Then, I think Sakaski should be able to do the same.
"Goodnight, Sakaski."
I suddenly spoke in the silence. It didn't matter if I didn't hear a response.
"Your daily routine?"
"Yes, my daily routine."
I chuckled. Sleepiness came slowly.
'Daily routine' was a good excuse. It wasn't just for me, it was also for him.
"Goodnight, Qiu Hua."
·
The third day passed just like that. I finally fully recovered on the fourth and fifth day. Every morning, I would go to the beach with Sakaski at ten o 'clock to check the watch.
The news still couldn't get out, but the two of us made this deserted island …
It wasn't exactly a deserted island. This island was pretty good. There were all kinds of resources and it wasn't dangerous.
There was also a freshwater lake on the island. I guessed that it was a marine lake. It was formed when the island's tectonic plates moved and the bay gradually lost contact with the ocean. It was similar to Hangzhou's West Lake.
I briefly introduced it to him. At the same time, I was surprised that I still remembered my high school geography knowledge.
Daily routine seemed to have become a tacit understanding between us. I don't know if it was an excuse or something else. It was as if Daily could take the blame for any slightly intimate actions.
Thank you for your hard work, A8.
Three days later, we still didn't send out the news at the beach. I stared at Sakaski. Sakaski looked at me silently. After preparing myself mentally, I said calmly, "I want to take a shower."
"…"
"So, I want to borrow the lava."
"…"
"I just recovered from a serious illness."
I held my chin and looked at him with the same attitude as when I asked him what he wanted to eat the other day. It was filled with a righteous and scientific attitude. There wasn't any …
I couldn't continue.
To be honest, it was already the sixth day since I came. Other than changing my clothes and wiping my body with a towel when I kicked him out of the cave, I didn't even take a shower. I felt terrible too, okay?
Huh?
Couple's shower?
Stop joking. Am I that kind of person?
[You are.]
Shut up, A8. Go get the goods for me!
A8 ran away crying. However, I still gave him a good review and praised A8's work attitude and packing skills. After praising him fiercely, I stared at Sakaski and continued.
"I don't have high expectations. Hot water is fine."
He looked at me stiffly. In the end, he didn't compromise.
I had already developed a hundred ways to use the lava. Sakaski Brand Heater, Sakaski Brand Water Heater, Sakaski Brand Dryer, Sakaski Brand Lava Stove …
In short, I was impressed by myself.
I silently followed him to a small stream that extended to the ocean. I first rolled up my jeans and took off my shoes. I stood in the water and calmly watched him with his back facing me as he placed two pieces of lava upstream.
It was obvious that the water was starting to warm up and become comfortable.
I watched him add two more pieces. I thought for a moment and said, "Thanks, Sakaski."
I seemed to be getting more casual with him.
After he left, I didn't care. I took off my clothes and buried myself in the water. I even used soap to wash my hair.
Ah, it was so warm. It felt almost like a hot spring.
However, I couldn't wash for too long. I struggled to sit up and used a towel to dry my wrists. I put on my watch and rubbed my hair dry as much as I could while wearing my clothes. Finally, I draped the towel over my shoulders to prevent the water droplets from sliding down my hair.
It wasn't that I didn't want to buy that kind of headscarf. Although Taobao was an official app, there weren't many things I could buy. It was already good enough to have a towel.
It was fine if my hair wasn't dry. I didn't catch a cold even when I went out with wet hair in the winter of high school.
It was just that I wanted to do something else.
My hair seemed to be a bit long.
Although it only reached my collarbone, I still felt that it was a bit long.
It would be a bit troublesome if I really wanted to cut it, but if I didn't cut it … it didn't seem to make any difference other than it being more inconvenient to wash my hair.
After washing, I felt that my entire body was comfortable. It felt like I was alive again.
I also washed all the clothes I brought over. Don't ask me where I hung Fat-Two and bras to dry. I'll cut ties with anyone who asks!
I touched the jade pendant hanging around my neck and pursed my lips. I looked at my washed clothes and my inexplicably rosy face in the stream. I suddenly felt …
Wait a minute, am I a newlywed?
【Madam, do you want to do it again? Do you want to eat bread or …】
Shut up.
I expressionlessly picked up my clean clothes and glanced at the five daily quests I picked out today.
Feeding the mission target. Originally it was to feed fruits, but because we didn't even have fruits here, we had to rely on bubble tablets to ingest Vitamin C, so A8 considerately changed it to feeding.
Saying "Thank you for your hard work" to the mission target, shaving the mission target's beard, receiving praise from the mission target for your appearance, and completing one thing according to the mission target's request …
This is what newlyweds are like!
Although I do have a ring on my hand, it's on my right hand!
Right hand!
It's definitely not a human wife!
【Aiya, it's a madam after all.】
A8 was still acting cute. I could feel it blinking its girlish eyes as it looked at me. It made me feel disgusted.
But after looking at these, I felt that I could do an experiment on "How to complete daily quests in the shortest time possible".
For example, if I said "Thank you for your hard work" while feeding, then I would complete two at the same time.
Then, if I asked Sakaski to say "Help me shave", then I would complete two at the same time.
Every day, I would test the boundaries of the system. In a state of deep thought, I walked all the way back to the cave. To be honest, I didn't want to call it a cave, I wanted to call it "home".
It felt more human and more "home" than my apartment.
"I'm back."
See, even if I came back, I would still subconsciously say "I'm back".
Even if there was no one inside, even if I was the only one.
I hung the clothes on a tree branch to dry them and placed them next to a piece of dark lava to carefully roast them. Halfway through, I heard footsteps. When I turned around, I saw Sakaski coming back.
He was holding a processed chicken in his hand …
Yep, very homely.
"Welcome back."
He was stunned for a moment, then he pulled on his Navy cap and nodded slightly.
"Ah, yes."
I smiled when I heard his response and nodded when I saw him start to roast the chicken.
