Hello, Admiral Akainu
Chapter 15
"As usual, I don't have any ingredients or wine. I only have salt and pepper. Let's marinate it and roast it. Let's eat it so that it can die a meaningful death."
Since Sakaski had already prepared the chicken, I asked calmly, "By the way, are we still going to the beach to check the watch tomorrow?"
"Let's continue."
He sat down next to me and watched me prepare the chicken calmly. "What's your daily mission today?"
He touched a sore spot.
I pouted and said casually when I saw him looking at me, "You've worked hard today."
"…"
He looked at me suspiciously. His expression was like "there must be something you want to say". It made me start to reflect on whether I gave him the misconception that "I want something in return for saying nice things".
"The first daily mission is to say, 'You've worked hard.'"
I repeated with an expressionless face. I pinched the drumstick to make it taste better. "Also, I shaved your beard, fed you a mouthful of food, completed a task according to your request, and received your compliments on my appearance.
From my personal point of view, I ranked the tasks from the lowest to the highest. "
I picked up the three sticks next to me and paid for it on Taobao. Yes, A8 said that I had to pay for it. If it was less than twenty thousand Belli, it would be free of postage. Was there such a system?
When I paid for it, I bought a bag of skewers. It was the perfect time to use it.
So, I stabbed the stick into the chicken's butt and came out from the chicken's neck. Although it didn't mean anything, I could feel the atmosphere freeze.
"As for the daily missions you mentioned."
I put the cooked chicken on the bonfire and stared at him. "Come on, don't go against your will and praise me for my good looks."
"…"
For the past two days, I had taken a look at my selfies with the beauty filter turned off. It was okay, I didn't let the audience down.
Although I wasn't particularly good-looking, I felt like a fairy every day after I recovered.
I was a haggard fairy before I recovered.
Suddenly, I seemed to remember something. I wiped my hands and took out my phone. It wasn't easy to find some artistic photos and family photos that I had asked my mother to send me in the past.
Although it was much more immature than it was now, it was still refined.
Looking at this artistic photo that almost didn't look like me, I felt that Sakaski wouldn't go against her will.
I flipped through the 'family' photo album that I had specially categorized. When I scanned through the photos and looked at my parents in the photos, I suddenly missed them.
But to be honest, when I first came to America, I didn't miss them at all. It was great to be alone, but my parents weren't like that.
In the beginning, they video-chatted every day, then every other day, and now …
I feel like I miss them, but they are annoyed with me. "Why are you video-chatting again? I'm busy."
Heh, so now we only have one video a week at most.
My mother purposely chose Saturdays and Sundays when she went to my grandmother's house to do it all at once.
I stared at the phone screen for a long time before I reacted. Under Sakaski's sharp gaze, I handed the phone over and sat next to him while pointing. "That's me. Don't look like you can't believe it. It's really me, just that I've done some makeup … The sixteen or seventeen year old me?
I forgot. Anyway, it's around this time. "
Looking at the photo on the phone, I felt a little emotional.
This was taken when I was in high school. So much time had passed. In the photo, I really did look a little more mature because of the makeup and the evening gown.
"My parents are next to me. We went to the photo studio to take this.
My mother doesn't know how to smile. She just stares when she takes the photo.
My smile is the same when I take the photo. My father doesn't have presbyopia yet, and he didn't get diabetes from eating too much candy. "
Shrugging my shoulders, I saw that the chicken would be fine for a while, so I leaned on his shoulder and swiped past the picture of the evening gown. The next picture was of me wearing a cheongsam with my parents.
My father was wearing a Tang suit and holding a fan in his hand. My mother's face was stiff as usual, and her hair … Pfft, it must be a wig. I know my mother's hair. She suffers from hair loss.
"I borrowed the clothes. After all, my cheongsam isn't bright, so it won't look good in the photo.
When my Omega saw this set of photos, she said that I looked more mature in the photo, but I think I looked very young. "
"Oh right, this is a cheongsam. It's a traditional dress from where I come from. It looks pretty good."
"Mm, it looks very good."
"Hehe, I knew it."
I swiped my hand and suddenly saw a family photo that had been there for a long time.
Me, my parents, my grandparents, my maternal grandparents.
I was wearing a wig with a bob, and my smile was completely different from the previous two photos.
After being stunned for a while, I pursed my lips and tried to speak as briskly as possible: "So, this is my grandpa, grandma, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother."
When I took this photo, I was wearing a wig and a wedding dress. When I took this photo, it just so happened that my grandparents also took a wedding photo, and my parents also took a photo …
The whole family, just me, a single dog.
Ahem, but this is also very normal, isn't it?
I swiped my finger again and swiped to the next photo. I looked at the person wearing the Republic of China school uniform, holding a lantern and lowering his head. His hair was tied into a braid. I didn't explain anything and paused for two or three seconds before swiping again. I looked at the three young men wearing school uniforms and laughed. I pointed at the one at the side with a little pride: "My little brother, my cousin, my aunt's son. Isn't he super handsome?"
"Yes."
"No celebrity can compare to my little brother. My little brother is the most handsome. Ah, the next photo is the selfie I wanted with him. Hehe, I don't know if this little handsome brother has a girlfriend. If he does, I'm finished."
"Why?"
"Think about it, for example, your little brother, who is five years younger than you, already has a girlfriend, but you are still a single dog?"
I twitched my mouth and began to recall the heartbroken expressions of my grandparents when my cousins got married. Even through the phone screen, I could feel their urge to get married. "Let's not talk about it anymore. Is there anything else?"
I swiped down to the selfie I took with Omega in Orlando and Disneyland. She had the nail polish I bought on her fingernails, and she was poking my face a little angrily.
I was laughing like a flower, and there was a cup of buttered beer on the other side of my face.
"This is …"
This is the Ji You who smashed you to death in the balance of my heart with a clang.
I silently swallowed this sentence and quickly chose between "the best Omega in my life" and "if it's possible, we can get married immediately". I swiped down guiltily and saw the photo I took with Sakaski. The difference was so big that I immediately pressed the lock screen: "Okay, that's it.
Did you just say that I look good?
Or that my clothes look good? "
"… You in person."
Very good.
But the sixteen or seventeen-year-old me in the photo was indeed very different from the current me.
I looked at myself in the photo, sitting next to my dad in a cheongsam, and then looked at myself in the selfie. After comparing the two, it seemed that the me in the photo was indeed more mature than the current me …
Omega was right, I had indeed grown up in reverse.
"Then, do you want me to help you shave, Sakaski?"
I put away my phone and calmed myself down. I happened to see the stubble on his face. I wanted to touch it, but I realized that I shouldn't. I retracted my hand and smiled at him. "I haven't tried it before. Let me try it?
I definitely won't let you have a scratch. "
He looked like the Five Heroes of Wolf Fang Mountain who had cut off all means of retreat before they jumped off the cliff. He looked like Zhu Shimao, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and looked at death with awe-inspiring righteousness.
He made me feel like a female hooligan … No, I am a female hooligan.
Just as I had guessed, he bought a razor. I hadn't seen him shave either. After all, when we were taking care of our personal hygiene, we would try our best to separate as much as possible. I was a little surprised that he didn't do anything today.
Eh, I think I told him that I wanted to take a shower.
No matter what, it definitely wasn't my fault.
I fiddled with the razor in my hand and looked at his expression curiously. "Do you want to put some foam on your face or something?
I used to see advertisements that used that. "
"No need."
"Then, do you want to pay attention to anything?
My dad always uses an electric one. "
"It's okay."
"Then, then I'll start?
He was quite tall when he sat in front of me. I half-knelt and held my breath. I raised my hand and felt the razor in my hand graze his chin. It felt a little strange.
To describe it, it was like you weren't paying attention when you were driving and realized that there was a gravel road under your feet.
I was especially careful because I was afraid that I would cut him. I didn't know how I was doing. When I felt that it was about time, I put down my hand and exhaled. I felt that my back was covered in sweat.
I was nervous.
"Phew, it should be okay?"
I raised my hand and wanted to touch his chin, but I thought that it would be a little ambiguous no matter what. Although I said that I was scheming, it was only theoretical knowledge!
It was true that real knowledge came from practice, but the key was that I never had a chance to practice it!
I looked up and saw that there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. My hand was still hanging in the air, so I steeled my heart and touched it directly.
There was no tingling feeling, but it wasn't soft either. It was a little rough to the touch.
"So this is how it feels."
I didn't know why I was sighing. After touching it a little, I retracted my hand. I sniffed the fragrance in the air and put the razor aside. I stood up and fiddled with the roast chicken next to me. I flipped it over and let it continue.
"You said that you need me to ask you to do something?"
"En, what is it?"
"Then help me make lunch."
I looked at him with a little surprise. After I saw him close his eyes as if he hadn't said anything, I suddenly laughed.
