Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

"Eh? Why is that?" Hood pouted unhappily, walked over to Xue Cheng, and tugged at his clothes in grievance: "I'm also the admiral's wedding ship. Even if the admiral really can't do it, can't he help me find a way?"

Who has the time for that?! You, a blonde, flat-chested, bespectacled girl, don't meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if it's just bean sprouts!

Seeing Hood childishly pulling at the corner of his clothes, Xue Cheng had no choice but to turn his gaze to the Prince of Wales.

222. Pest Control

"Hood, stop being unreasonable." The Prince of Wales glared at her. "The Admiral has already said there's nothing he can do. Why are you still pestering me?"

"Hmph, I don't care anyway. If the Admiral doesn't help me, I won't leave." Hood curled his lips and simply sat next to Xue Cheng, hugging his arms tightly with both arms, refusing to let go:

"What's wrong with me clinging to my husband? Even the Prince of Wales can't do anything about it, right?"

"That's right." The Prince of Wales said expressionlessly, clenching his fists.

"But don't forget, I'm also a wedding ship, and I got the ring before you. If you count it, you still have to call me sister. If it's the elder sister who disciplines the younger sister..."

"..." Hood's expression was obviously guilty. Although she was a powerful battleship at the forefront of the naval base's combat power, she was no match for the Prince of Wales in a one-on-one fight in the training ground.

"Okay, you two, stop arguing." Xue Cheng had no choice but to say, "No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't really let them fight."

"Hood, can't you just handle this little thing yourself? Spray some insecticide at home, lock the room, and go in half an hour later to clean up the dead bugs. Do you really need help with this little thing?"

Hood replied matter-of-factly, "But those bug carcasses are disgusting. I don't want to clean them up myself."

"Isn't there Anson?" the Prince of Wales couldn't help but say.

"She hates bugs even more than I do." Hood rolled his eyes and complained, "Besides, if I have to figure out everything myself, what's the point of having a husband?"

"..." What should we do? Hood's words made a lot of sense. Xue Cheng and the Prince of Wales looked at each other in silence.

Even ship girls hate bugs out of female instinct. Besides, as a boyfriend or husband, this is what he should do.

"Okay, you have a point." Xue Cheng patted his forehead and said helplessly: "Where is Hu De's home? I'll go and help you."

"Admiral!" The Prince of Wales looked a little anxious. He was about to capture the admiral, so how could he let the cooked duck fly away at this time?

"It's okay." Xue Cheng gave her a comforting look and said, "I'm just cleaning up the little bugs in the room. I'll be back soon."

The Prince of Wales hesitated. Stupid Hood really didn't seem to have anything to worry about, so he nodded and said, "Then come back soon, Admiral."

"Don't worry, I will." Xue Cheng smiled. He was more anxious than the Prince of Wales.

Xue Cheng and Hood picked up the two cats, then stood up and left the Prince of Wales's house together.

The Prince of Wales stayed alone in the living room. She went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into a set of underwear that had been piled up in the closet since she bought it and had never been worn. When she returned to the living room, the admiral still hadn't returned.

After sitting on the sofa and waiting for a while, the Prince of Wales looked at the time, went to the kitchen, and cut a plate of fruit. However, until she finished eating the fruit, there was still no sign of the admiral.

Could it be that... a bad thought arose in the Prince of Wales' mind.

……

Hood's house was not far from the Prince of Wales's house. It only took three minutes to walk there. When he arrived outside Hood's house, Xue Cheng found that he had just passed by here when he came back with the Prince of Wales.

Maybe she came to the door specifically because she was seen by Hood in the room?

After changing into a pair of brand new men's slippers, Xue Cheng was taken to her bedroom by Hood, who was even more anxious than himself. If he didn't know that this idiot didn't think so much, Xue Cheng would have thought he had encountered another juicer.

"This is my room." Hood pushed open the bedroom door, and a cool breeze blew towards him. The girl turned around subconsciously, and her golden hair fluttered in the wind.

"Meow!" Fat Orange Ginger broke free from Xue Cheng, jumped from his arms to the ground, and then quickly rushed to the window where two empty cat food bowls were placed.

Ginger meowed, poking at the food bowl with one paw, staring at Hood with his pupils shrunk into two thin dots, and making pitiful begging sounds.

"Ah, Ginger, are you hungry again? Sorry, I'll prepare the food right away! Admiral, please go in and sit for a while." Hood put down the black cat fish cake in his arms, and then walked downstairs in his slippers.

"What a greedy cat." Xue Cheng complained, then walked in and looked at the layout of Hood's room.

The decoration of the bedroom is not very luxurious. Just like Hood's elegant ladylike image, it is filled with a faint bookish atmosphere at first glance. The bookshelves on the wall are filled with famous works from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.

A cat climbing frame is placed in the corner of the wall, with many cat toys next to it. A huge cat photo is hung on the wall. Two cats are looking at the camera with their heads tilted. They are Ginger and Fish Cake.

The computer desk was placed by the window. The desktop was clean and tidy, and a movie was paused on the huge monitor. Xue Cheng walked over. The woman in the picture looked at the camera with a sweet smile and extended her hand in an invitation. She looked vaguely familiar.

"Is this... Missouri?" Xue Cheng hesitated. The woman in the picture had familiar long brown hair. She was wearing a suit and skirt. Her delicate face was lightly made up. She looked like an urban white-collar worker, mature and capable.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Hood came back playfully kicking off her slippers, holding two opened cans of beef cat food in her hands.

"Hood, it turns out that movies have actually been filmed in Missouri?" Xue Cheng asked curiously, pointing at the computer screen.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"Yes, otherwise, do you think the title of big star Missouri is fake? In fact, it's not just Missouri. We occasionally play guest roles, but our acting is far from as natural as Missouri's."

Hood looked as if it was a matter of course. She came to Xue Cheng and placed the canned food in front of the two cats that were already impatient and meowing. Then she said:

"Although this is a low-budget short film we made ourselves, Dafeng was in charge of the script, and it's received rave reviews within the tutelary fort."

"What about outside?" Xue Cheng asked.

Hood gave him a strange look and asked, "Admiral, do you really want us to put on a show for others to see?"

Xue Cheng shook his head. Maybe he was selfish, or had a strong possessiveness. Even though he had so many marriage ships and was no longer qualified to ask others to do this or that, he still hoped that his ship girl would belong to him alone.

"So," Hood spread his hands and said, "Missouri knew the Admiral would answer like that. The film will only be circulated within the garrison and won't be released outside."

"That's good." Xue Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

A greedy man. Hu De hesitated to speak. He was obviously a playboy, but he was very strict with his partner. His double standards were too obvious.

However, he didn't hate it. Being so worried about the admiral, Hood felt sweet in his heart and had a sense of happiness of being valued.

After chatting casually for a few minutes, Xue Cheng rolled up his non-existent sleeves, looking like he was about to show off his skills: "Okay, let's not waste everyone's time, let's start cleaning up the bugs now. Where is the insecticide?"

Hood quickly shook his head. "No! You can't use pesticides in the bedroom! Not only will the dead bugs fall onto the sheets and quilt, but those harmful chemicals will also harm the ginger and fish cakes!"

"You can put a dust sheet on the bed and furniture, and you can also choose a non-toxic insecticide that will not harm cats!" Xue Cheng tried to persuade.

"That won't work either!" Hood still shook his head and refused to give in.

When Hood thought about the dirty corpses of insects on his clean and tidy bed, he felt as if ants were crawling on his body and felt uncomfortable all over.

As for the so-called non-toxic pesticides that would not harm pets, Hood was even more reluctant to use them. She would not allow any possibility of hurting her beloved cats, even though these two cats were part of her ship's equipment and were not afraid of mere pesticides.

"So what do you want?" Xue Cheng crossed his arms angrily. "Do you want me to catch them one by one?"

Hood nodded.

"Goodbye." Xue Cheng turned around decisively. There were many flowers planted in Hu De's yard, which were prone to attracting mosquitoes. What's more, the screen was not drawn, and the whole window was wide open. There must be a lot of insects hiding in the corners of the cabinets and under the bed.

"Wait! Admiral, don't leave!" Hood hurriedly blocked his way, opened his arms to block the door, and said flatteringly, "I have no choice. The screen window was blown off by the wind last time and it has never been repaired. If the Admiral doesn't help me, then I will have no choice but to live on the streets."

As he spoke, Hood sniffed and put on a pitiful look: "Can you bear to let your wife sleep on the street?"

"...I really can't do anything about you." Xue Cheng said helplessly: "Prepare a towel for me, as well as a fly swatter, gloves and a plastic bag."

Hood smiled triumphantly.

It is of course impossible to eliminate all the insects in the entire room, but those that can be seen on the surface can still be removed.

The first thing Xue Cheng targeted was a large moth lying on the cabinet.

"This..." Xue Cheng looked at the motionless moth and said curiously, "Hu De obviously has a cat at home, so why is there such a big moth?"

Cats are one of the few animals that hunt for fun. Based on Xue Cheng's experience raising cats as a child, this animal is not only curious, but also has a heart as cruel as humans.

It was common to knock items off the table, and if necessary, any fly that flew past it would be slapped for no reason.

According to what Hood said just now, this moth would fly around the room at night. If Ginger and Fish Cake saw it, they should have started killing mode immediately.

"Admiral..." Hood's expression was somewhat weak. She stretched out her scallion-like fingers and pointed at the cats who had just finished their canned food and were lazily licking their paws. She complained, "Look at their size. Do you think they can catch moths?"

"..." Xue Cheng looked at the two big cats that were as fat as balls and shook his head silently.

Fat cats that can increase their milk production for a period of time have lost their flexibility, at least in terms of body shape.

After closing the windows, Xue Cheng was fully armed and cleared away all the spiders lurking in the corners, the beetles in the corners, and the motionless moths. As for under the bed or under the cabinets, Xue Cheng was helpless.

This result made Hood very dissatisfied. After inspecting Xue Cheng's work results, Hood said decisively:

"It's still no use. What do you mean by being good at pest control? The Admiral is clearly an amateur. Really, until the screen window is fixed, I'd better stay at the Admiral's place."

"As for pest control... I heard Yubari has developed a new type of pest control device that will actively attract the bugs out. I'll leave it to her when the time comes."

"You..." Xue Cheng pointed at Hood with a trembling finger. If he had said this earlier, he wouldn't have had to waste so much time and energy.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Hood's matter-of-fact expression, he decisively chose to give up negotiations.

How can I make sense of this troublesome blonde, flat-chested, bespectacled young lady?

Suddenly I began to understand the protagonists in those comics who were ordered around by the heroines.

Xue Cheng took off his headscarf and the stuffy gloves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, asked Hu De where the bathroom was, and decisively chose to take a shower first.

As the eldest daughter of the department, the bathroom in the Hu family was decorated very luxuriously. Xue Cheng filled the bathtub that could be used as a swimming pool with hot water, soaked in it, and enjoyed a moment of comfort after the hard work.

But soon, Xue Cheng's peace was broken by a knock on the door.

"Admiral? I'm coming in?" Hood's voice came from outside the door, and a slender figure was reflected in the frosted glass door.

"Wait..." Before Xue Cheng could finish his refusal, the door lock made a slight sound, and a tuft of alopecia swayed on the top of her head. The girl took off her glasses and only wrapped a bath towel around her body, walked in cautiously.

Hood's figure is a little petite, but her proportions are perfect. Although her long legs are not as good as Wisconsin and Yixian's, they are also rare and exquisite. The long hair that was originally draped over her shoulders was tied up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone.

Although her chest was a little barren, the girl put her hands on her chest and subconsciously fixed the position of the bath towel, so she could barely squeeze out some outline.

Although a little small, they are real breasts, at least much better than those fake ones disguised with pads and Veneto's solid ones.

"..." Xue Cheng stared at Hood without blinking and decisively swallowed his words of rejection.

"Admiral? Where are you?" Without waiting for Xue Cheng's reply, Hood closed the glass door behind him and slowly walked towards the bathtub: "Really? Stop playing around."

Hey! Although there's some steam in the bathroom from running the water just now, it's not enough to block your view, right?

Xue Cheng was too tired to complain. Without her glasses, Hood seemed to be extremely nearsighted. Even at a distance of only a few meters, she couldn't seem to see where she was.

In desperation, Xue Cheng swam to the edge of the bathtub and said, "I'm right here, you stupid blond girl with glasses."

"Don't call me weird names..." Hood complained with a pout, walked carefully to the bathtub, squinted his eyes and tried hard to see Xue Cheng clearly, but due to his severe myopia and the fog in the bathroom, he ultimately failed.
