Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

There was limited space between Xue Cheng and Essex, and the doll accidentally knocked over the paper bag while taking it over, and the contents immediately spilled out.

Xue Cheng picked up a small pink thing curiously and looked at it carefully in his hand.

What is this? Hmm, no way...

Xue Cheng suddenly fell silent.

"Admiral?" Seeing Xue Cheng suddenly stop moving, Essex looked up in confusion. When she saw what Xue Cheng was holding in his hand and the items that fell out of the paper bag that was knocked over next to her, her eyes suddenly went dark and she almost fainted.

Ticonderoga! You naughty boy! I... your sister is going to spank you! Jiaozi screamed in her heart.

In another room, Ticonderoga, who had finally changed out of her signature black tights and into a silk nightgown, seemed to sense something and sneezed twice.

"Eh?" Ticonderoga threw the tissue into the trash can, rubbed his nose and said to himself:

"Hmm, it seems that Big Sister has discovered the props I left for her. Hehe... I specially ordered this from Dr. Yubari. You can't buy it anywhere else."

"Admiral!" Essex jumped up. She hurriedly put the props that had fallen out back into the paper bag, snatched the one from Xue Cheng's hand, and said excitedly:

"That's not the case! Listen to me! These things are not mine! That troublemaker from Ticonderoga put them here with me. You, you have to believe me! They're really not mine!"

"..." Xue Cheng was silent for a moment, and seeing that Essex was about to faint, he quickly said:

"Calm down, Jiaozi. I know these things can't be yours. Come on, don't be nervous. Sit down and calm down. Look at you, you're sweating so much."

"Huh..." Essex took a few deep breaths to calm her excitement. She was about to sit back when she suddenly found that there seemed to be something red on the seat where she had just sat.

Oops!

Just as Essex was about to grab the thing, Xue Cheng had already noticed the red piece. Curiously, he pulled the object out from under the quilt, unfolded it in his hand, and then fell into silence again.

Although the fabric of the clothes looked fiery red when folded, when Xue Cheng unfolded it, it turned into a red nightgown as thin as a cicada's wing.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

This nightgown is very short. Considering Essex's height, it can only barely cover the base of her thighs. The fabric is thin and light, not only does it feel weightless in the hand, but when it is unfolded, you can even clearly see the scenery on the other side through the nightgown.

The dumplings with thin skin and big fillings are not Veneto. Her figure is already hot and proud, but she is usually wrapped tightly, so it is not very conspicuous.

Just imagine, what would it look like if Essex wore such clothes?

Even Xue Cheng, who is now a veteran of many battles, couldn't help but feel his nose getting hot after fantasizing about it. He hurriedly pressed his nostrils and tried to calm his mind. Fortunately, perhaps because of the training during this period, there was no embarrassing bloodstain.

Is this the shock of contrast? A shy, innocent girl, usually wrapped up tightly, can create an unprecedented impact when she changes into provocative clothing. It's no wonder some people love dress-up games.

Perhaps it was the telepathy between husband and wife that Essex and Xue Cheng had the same idea.

If I were to wear clothes like this, it would be...

Ouch! Essex was so ashamed and angry that she almost turned into a steamy girl. Seeing Xue Cheng still holding the nightgown, the girl almost rushed in front of Xue Cheng and reached out to grab the clothes: "Admiral! Don't look!"

Xue Cheng subconsciously stepped back, but Essex sat astride his thighs, pressing one hand on his chest and reaching out with the other to grab the nightgown in Xue Cheng's hand.

"Bang!" Xue Cheng leaned back with the help of Essex's hand pressing on his chest, lying on his back on the bed, and used both hands to throw the nightgown behind him.

Seeing this, Jiaozi was still unwilling to give up. Just as she was about to snatch it back, she felt a tightening around her waist. A hot arm, like a ferocious python, wrapped around her tightly.

"Dear Jiaozi, what are you going to do?" Xue Cheng's hot breath sprayed on the girl's face. His voice was low, like a volcano about to erupt, implying intense emotions.

"I..." Essex struggled weakly, pressing his palms weakly on Xue Cheng's chest, as if trying to push him away. However, his strength was so weak that he couldn't even kill a mosquito.

"It's very hot today." Xue Cheng looked at the beads of sweat that were quickly gathering on Essex's forehead and nose, and said with a smile: "That nightgown is very suitable for today's weather. It's light, breathable, and cool. Essex, do you want to try it on and see for yourself?"

"But..." The weak Jiaozi blushed, bit her lips lightly, and slowly shook her head.

Xue Cheng blinked and met the girl's eyes: "But I really want to see Jiaozi wearing clothes like this, is it really not possible?"

Essex bit his lower lip, his expression changing constantly.

Finally, as if she had made some important decision, she nodded with an imperceptible amplitude, and then squeezed out a soft sound from her throat: "Only, only this time."

253 Summer Night

The insects in the summer night chirped incessantly, seemingly tirelessly. From the direction of the window came the sound of tinkling metal, somewhat like wind chimes, but the sound was not crisp and pleasant, but rather a bit unpleasant.

In the darkness, Xue Cheng sat up. Through the moonlight shining through the gap in the curtains, he could vaguely see that Essex was covered with a thin blanket.

The girl's fingers tightly grasped the edge of the blanket, and her whole body curled up inside, revealing only a pair of eyes that glowed faintly red in the moonlight.

I have to say that Essex-grade dumplings have thin skin and large fillings. One bite is full of meaty aroma and delicious soup, which makes people linger on the taste.

Xue Cheng licked his lips and thought secretly.

As if realizing Xue Cheng was looking at him, Essex quickly pulled the blanket higher and shrank into it, refusing to show his face.

Do you think it's okay to hide?

Xue Cheng smiled evilly, groped his way through the gap in the blanket, and easily felt the slippery sensation on his hands.

Summer is great because the dumpling wrappers are not too thick, so you can get the meat in one bite, instead of having no filling at all in two bites.

"Admiral..." A faint sobbing voice came. Xue Cheng felt his palm being held down. Then a little head popped out from under the blanket, red eyes filled with pleading: "I really, really can't do this anymore. Can we stop here today?"

Xue Cheng gently played with the girl's delicate fingers. He lowered his eyelids, his eyes a little tired, but he still laughed and said, "I'm not full yet."

"But I..." The shy and weak Essex did not notice Xue Cheng's abnormality. Unlike his wife, the innocent and cute girl could understand the natural advantages brought by gender.

Essex was unaware of Xue Cheng's current state and pleaded in a low voice, "Admiral, if you really want to...it seems like my sisters haven't slept yet."

"..." Xue Cheng's face was full of strangeness.

He is not made of iron. Although his recovery ability and endurance have been greatly improved after his body has been strengthened, he is still a flesh and blood body after all, and his ability is not as outrageous as the blessing of the sea. For the sake of his health, he should still exercise restraint.

So he just wanted to tease Essex and had no intention of bullying her again.

But…what did Jiaozi just say? Sisters? In other words, she tacitly agreed to let me go… What a good sister!

In comparison, Lexington, who also has the image of a good sister, is far worse. She has already eaten the meat, but refuses to share it with her sister. She made a casual joke once, but was only met with a slight anger from the other party.

I suggest that all sisters in Hong Kong should learn from Essex!

Think carefully, if I continue to push the other side further, will Essex relax its tolerance further? By then...

Ahem! That's too evil! I can't think about it anymore. After all, health is important, and sustainable development is king!

Xue Cheng thought that there was a long way to go, so he smiled and pulled his hand away.

"Is this what it's like to be husband and wife?" Essex bit her lower lip and asked pretending to be indifferent, but the blush on her face had already betrayed her thoughts.

"Well, this question..." Xue Cheng frowned, thought for a moment and said, "That's not entirely true. Although it's a stage that most couples must go through, things between husband and wife are more than just that simple."

"To be honest, I don't have much experience, so if you ask me to explain it to you in detail, I can't really explain it clearly. But some things just come naturally, and you'll understand them over time."

"What? The Admiral is obviously just perfunctory..." Essex pouted and said in a low voice.

"That's right." Xue Cheng said innocently, "When Essex first came to the garrison, you were the only one in the entire Essex class. Everyone else joined later. Did Essex already know how to be a big sister back then?"

"..." Essex suddenly fell silent. She lowered her head and said weakly after a while, "Actually, even now, I don't know what it means to be a qualified sister."

"What do you mean?" Xue Cheng asked curiously.

"That is to say..." Essex sighed faintly:

"My sisters aren't children anymore. We're all mature adults. We all have our own ideas and don't need me to take care of them... Molly is an exception, but her thoughts are so hard to understand. I, I don't know how to get along with her..."

"How does Essex usually get along with everyone?" Xue Cheng asked curiously.

Essex's expression was a little conflicted. "It means giving the delicious food to my sisters first, proactively helping them solve problems, getting up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, and doing my best to protect them during battles... That's it."

Xue Cheng touched the girl's slightly damp hair and said softly, "That's enough. Essex is a qualified sister."

"But I can't even do these things well." Essex subconsciously rubbed Xue Cheng's palm and said dejectedly:

"The breakfast I make isn't as good as the one in the cafeteria, and I always struggle to handle life's problems. And yet, I need everyone to help me. Even in combat, everyone is worse than me, and I'm often protected by them..."

The girl sighed in distress, "Admiral, being a sister is so hard."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't mean I can help everyone, but I'm a qualified sister."

Xue Cheng comforted him softly, "As long as Essex has that kind of heart, it's enough. Perhaps this is the unique way you Essex-class people get along with each other."

"A sister protected by her younger sister?" Essex muttered softly.

"What's wrong with that? Am I not also an admiral who eats everyone's money?" Xue Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly, then reached out and gently scratched the tip of her nose, saying:

"Okay, don't think too much, just let it go. Sometimes worrying too much can lead to bad consequences."

Seeing the girl nodded, Xue Cheng picked up the shorts that fell on the ground and put them on. He was too lazy to put on his shoes. He walked to the window and opened the curtains.

The weather outside was very good, the sky was full of shining stars, and the silvery moonlight poured in. Without the curtains blocking the light, the chirping of insects seemed to become louder.

A breeze blew through the screen window, and the sound of metal colliding was heard again. Xue Cheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bird stand hanging under the window, with the thin iron chain on it swaying in the wind.

Bird stand? Xue Cheng blinked, as if remembering something, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Speaking of which, Jiaozi, where's McCampbell?"

"It's Bell McCann." Essex sat up wrapped in a blanket and retorted subconsciously, then froze: "Bell, Bell?! Oh no! Admiral! Bell is still hanging on the living room balcony!"

"..." Xue Cheng was speechless. Although he didn't know how long the talkative eagle had been hanging, even if he counted from when he arrived, it had been more than three hours.

After such a long time, could that chatterbox be dead?

Essex hurriedly lifted the blanket and was about to rescue the bald eagle, but a cool breeze came over her. The girl subconsciously looked down and her face suddenly turned red. She crawled back under the blanket like a nimble white snake and wrapped herself tightly.

Looking at the girl's ashamed and angry expression, Xue Cheng shook his head helplessly.

I really don't understand. I've just seen it and even done something further. Why would you still care about such a small thing?

Although he was puzzled, Xue Cheng was not stupid enough to ask this question. He put on his slippers and said directly:

"Essex is exhausted too. Let's take a rest. I'll go to the living room and check. If the mood is right, I might consider letting the bird go."

Essex's little head popped out from under the blanket. Her face flushed as she whispered, "Admiral, don't be angry with Bell. If Bell doesn't behave, you can come and talk to me."

Is the owner supposed to pay back a pet's debt? Xue Cheng raised an eyebrow, responded casually, and walked out without even bothering to put on his coat.

The corridor was pitch black, with no one running away in a panic. The doors of the surrounding rooms were tightly closed, with no light coming from under the cracks. Everyone seemed to have gone to bed.

"It's not even eleven o'clock yet, how come everyone is asleep?" Xue Cheng thought to himself, using his cell phone as a light as he walked slowly down the stairs. He thought of Tirpitz, the girl who had similar interests and hobbies as him and was also obsessed with cultivating immortals.

If it was her, she would definitely not be asleep at this time.

When he came to the living room, he found that someone had turned off the light that he had forgotten to turn off when he left. Xue Cheng looked around but couldn't find the switch.
