Chapter 13: Attack on Lexington
When Lexington went to the kitchen to busy himself, Su Xia really wanted to go over and help, but in the end she didn't do so. She sat alone in the living room looking around, or took out her mobile phone to browse the forum. She didn't expect that the forums she had visited before would also be here.
It wasn't until Lexington brought the fruit plate, which contained perfectly cut apples, cantaloupe, dragon fruit and watermelon, that Su Xia quickly stood up.
Lexington put the fruit plate on the coffee table, and while finding a toothpick holder, she said, "Admiral, there's no need to be so reserved and polite..." She was still embarrassed to say it, this is your home too, my admiral, sir, husband, my hubby.
It wasn't that they had just met, and after getting used to each other a little, Su Xia was no longer so worried and nervous. He smiled and said, "Lexington, you asked me not to be so reserved and polite, but you did the same thing, treating me as a guest and preparing a fruit plate. There was no need to be so troublesome."
"It's not a fruit plate prepared for guests." Lexington glanced at the seat next to Su Xia and wanted to sit over there, but she didn't. She sat on the bed of the 3+1 L-shaped sofa with her hands on her thighs, "It's..."
"And what?" If she could regret it, Su Xia would never ask.
"It's not the fruit plate prepared for the guests." Lexington said, "It's... Admiral, don't you remember?"
"Don't remember what?"
" The Admiral once gave me the Ring of Promise."
"Um."
"So, this is the fruit plate that a caring wife prepares for her favorite husband."
"Hmm... " Su Xia didn't dare to speak. He couldn't handle this. He chose to lower his head and eat fruits, one after another. "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I haven't eaten anything since noon. I'm really hungry." He had only had breakfast in the morning and hadn't eaten anything since he traveled to this world in the morning.
Why didn't the admiral react to her words when she had said such an important thing? Lexington had a little resentment towards Su Xia. When she heard that Su Xia was hungry, she stood up quickly and said, "Admiral, wait a moment."
Lexington left in a hurry, and came back in a hurry, putting a pile of snacks on the coffee table.
Su Xia flipped through the items briefly and found potato chips, McNuggets, chocolate, seaweed, small cakes, boneless chicken feet... everything. He then picked one up and asked, "Did you search Gaga and Xingxing's rooms?"
"How did the Admiral know?"
"I think only Gaga and Constellation like snacks. Lexington probably doesn't like them."
Lexington smiled and said without comment, "Admiral, have some snacks to fill your stomach first... Let me see what time it is now. We need to prepare dinner early today." The last sentence was spoken to himself.
Su Xia had his cell phone in his hand. He picked it up and saw that the battery was running low, but he didn't have a charger. He said, "Five o'clock." As he spoke, he looked outside. The sun was still shining brightly, with no sign of weakening as it did in the afternoon.
"Five o'clock... you can start preparing now." Lexington said, "For dinner, what would you like, steak or seafood? I recommend barbecued spareribs, red wine prawns, and cream of clam soup, which are my specialties. Don't underestimate me, I can cook Chinese food, too, such as shredded pork with fish sauce, braised chicken, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
After saying that, Lexington pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I admit that I only know some home cooking."
If I were to say something polite, it would definitely be - I just like home-cooked food, or knowing so many home-cooked dishes is already amazing. Thinking that Lexington seemed to hate being polite, Su Xia smiled and said, "No way, then he's not as good as me."
Lexington asked in surprise: "Can the Admiral cook?"
"You can do it. I can do it all. I can also make scrambled eggs with green peppers, minced eggplant with meat, minced onion with meat, steamed pork with rice flour... It seems that there is nothing to brag about. We are equally matched."
"Can I try the admiral's cooking tonight?"
“No problem.”
Lexington smiled and said, "Gaga and Constellation must be looking forward to it."
"Lexington isn't looking forward to it?"
"Of course...looking forward to it."
Su Xia casually took a snack and unwrapped it. He just opened it but didn't bring it to his mouth when he asked, "Lexington lives with Gaga and Xingxing?"
"yes."
"Sixteen...CV-16 doesn't live with you. She lives with her sister. What about Phelps?" Su Xia asked.
In the historical Battle of the Coral Sea, when the Lexington was seriously injured and could no longer hold on, in order to prevent the Lexington from falling into the hands of the enemy, the Phelps accepted the order to sink the Lexington with a torpedo. In the game, she has the same headdress as Lexington. It can also be understood that she inherited Lexington's headdress and continued Lexington's legacy? In short, she is called the Little Lady by many players.
"Of course she lives with her sister," Lexington said as a matter of course.
"Is that so?" Su Xia thought about it and decided not to mention those game memes. "Are Jiajia and Xingxing not at home?"
"Out." Lexington said, "The admiral wants to see them... aren't they here ?"
Su Xia noticed that Lexington reached out to the coffee table, then withdrew his hand with some confusion, looked around and stood up, as if he was looking for something but couldn't find it. He asked, "What are you looking for, Lexington?"
"Cellphone." Lexington said, "I remember I just put it on the coffee table...I didn't see it on the sofa."
"Didn't you just go to the kitchen to cut some fruit? Maybe you left it there? Or maybe you didn't notice that you put it in Gaga's or Xingxing's room when you got some snacks for me."
"I'll go look for it."
Lexington is gone.
Su Xia ate snacks by himself. He was really hungry, and since Lexington was not around, he could indulge himself a little, so he ate several packs. After waiting for a while, when Lexington reappeared, he asked, "How is it? Did you find it? Where did you put it?"
"I still haven't found it." Lexington said in frustration, "Where on earth did I put it?"
Su Xia suggested: "If you really can't find it, what about...what's your cell phone number? I'll call you. It will be easier to find it if there's a ring tone."
"Thank you, Admiral." Lexington said.
"You told me not to be polite, but now you are being polite."
"Yes, yes." Lexington said, "My cell phone number..."
Su Xia dialed Lexington's cell phone number and the ringing sound came from the direction of the kitchen.
Lexington went to the kitchen and Su Xia followed him. Halfway there, they saw Lexington coming back with a cell phone.
"Where is it?" Su Xia asked.
"On the windowsill." Lexington said, "I remembered that when I was washing the fruit, I found some water on the countertop, so I just put it on the windowsill next to it."
Su Xia hung up the phone and said, "It's good that you found it."
Lexington looked at the missed call on his phone and asked, "Is this the admiral's number?"
"yes."
"I saved it..." Lexington said, paused, and lowered his head, "The Admiral must have guessed it."
"What?"
"I guessed it. I did it on purpose. I deliberately made the phone impossible to find. I was just playing a trick to get the admiral's phone number." Lexington said.
"Well?"
Lexington said, "I think the Admiral must have guessed my trick. For example, before, when I wanted the Admiral to stay for dinner, I didn't ask the Admiral if he wanted to stay, but what he wanted to eat. Because I read in a book before that people like to make choices and think that choices mean freedom. But they don't know that when you make a choice, you lose resistance."
Lexington continued, "He kept playing tricks, wanting the admiral to stay, wanting the admiral's phone number, not only that, but also wanting to know what chat software the admiral uses, wanting the admiral's friends. He is so scheming and greedy, Lexington must be in a very bad mood now, right?"
"ah?"
I have never encountered this trick before.
At this moment, Su Xia just wanted to say, Xiao Zhai, Xiao Hua, Xiao Luo, where have you been, come and save me quickly, otherwise I will fall.
