Chapter 352: Tenderness of Night
Although it was already past two in the morning, the lights in Qin Ge's room had not dimmed, and he was still bent over the desk, writing furiously.
Suddenly, the door opened and Belfast walked into the room with a cup of hot tea. She glanced at Qin Ge, who was still writing at the desk, and shook her head.
Closing the door gently, Belfast walked to Qin Ge's desk and placed the brewed hot tea next to his hand.
"Ah, it's you, Belfast. Why haven't you slept yet? Didn't I tell you before that I don't need your service tonight? I told you to go to bed early. After all, we still have a mission tomorrow." Qin Ge looked up and saw Belfast, and said with some confusion and reproach.
"As the master, you haven't even rested while waiting for you. How can I, as a maid, rest?" Belfast smiled.
"You take everything too seriously. Don't worry, I won't stay up late tonight. I will just finish writing this combat report and then I will take a rest." Qin Ge said with a smile and pointed to what he was writing in front of him.
The combat report, this is what Guanghui said before, after handing it in to the Maritime Bureau, you will get some reward materials. Now the Xinghai Fleet is in the development period, so these materials are particularly important for the development of the fleet.
Adhering to this concept, Qin Ge would naturally not throw away this opportunity in vain. For him, it was just a night of rest, but for the Xinghai Fleet, it might be war supplies that could arm 1 to 2 ship girls.
"Then I wonder how much the master has written? How long will it take to finish?" Belfast came to Qin Ge's side and looked at the things on his desk.
"We came back to have dinner at around twelve o'clock. We have been writing since almost one o'clock until now. We have finished most of it. The rest should be finished before three o'clock." Qin Ge replied to Belfast.
Because Belfast was quite close to Qin Ge at the moment, Qin Ge could smell a faint fragrance from Belfast. So when Qin Ge finished speaking to Belfast, he couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Can you finish writing before three o'clock?" Belfast nodded slightly, then smiled and said to Qin Ge, "Then the master continues to write, and I will stay here with you."
"We don't need this, do we? It's already so late. You've been through a battle today, so you should rest early." Qin Ge said to Belfast.
"It's not too late. For us ship girls, it's normal to not rest for several days and nights, so Master, don't worry about me." Belfast smiled, "Instead of having this time to say these things to me, you might as well take advantage of this time to write something quickly. This way, after you finish writing early, can't I rest early too?"
Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You, okay, then I will sincerely finish writing these, but if you feel tired, just sit on the bed, you don't have to stand by my side all the time."
"Yes, sir." Belfast replied with a slight smile, but as to whether she sat on the bed as Qin Ge said instead of standing behind Qin Ge, only she knew.
Seeing that Belfast had already answered, Qin Ge stopped talking, just shook his head and smiled, then refocused his attention on the document in front of him.
The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper sounded again. Although there were two people in the room at this moment, the sound could be heard very clearly at this time.
Just as Qin Ge said, less than twenty minutes later, he stopped writing again, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and then checked the report he had written.
"Master, have you finished writing?" At this time, Belfast, who was standing behind Qin Ge, asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's finished. But I still have to check it again to prevent some small mistakes." Qin Ge didn't raise his head, he kept staring at the combat report in front of him.
After checking it once and finding no problems, Qin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it's over now."
"Then master, please take a rest quickly. There is still some time now. I will come to call you on time at 7:00 tomorrow morning." Belfast said to Qin Ge.
"Well, it's true. I have been in a highly tense state all day today and I do feel a little tired now." Qin Ge stood up and after reading the battle report in front of him, his eyes fell on the bottle on the desk.
There is a rose in the vase, but it is a little withered now.
"Uh, I didn't notice that the roses were withered, it's really..." Qin Ge said while looking at the bottle.
"This is a rose. It should be given to the master by Miss Aurora, right?" Belfast said as he looked at the withered rose.
" Yes, she picked them herself when she went to the rose garden with Chongqing. Although they were very bright in the first few days, they withered quickly once they left her body." Qin Ge said.
"It's okay. I'll go find Miss Ola tomorrow and get another one for the master." Belfast said with a smile.
"That's not what I meant. In fact, roses can just grow in the garden. It doesn't matter whether I put them here or not." Qin Ge quickly waved his hand and said.
"I understand, Master." Belfast smiled slightly, "Then let me help you take off your clothes and wash up."
Qin Ge nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help, Belfast."
"It's okay." Belfast smiled.
Then, she walked to Qin Ge's side and gently took off his coat and clothes.
Qin Ge was suddenly moved when he saw this scene. He reached out and held Belfast's hand, put it on his lips, and kissed it gently, "It's great to have you here."
"It is Belfast's greatest honor to receive the master's praise." Belfast looked at Qin Ge who was showing some true feelings and said, feeling very sweet in his heart.
Although he usually likes to see his master embarrassed, what Belfast really wants to see is Qin Ge's gentleness towards him.
After all, there are many ship girls in Qin Ge's entire fleet who have a good impression of Qin Ge, but there are relatively few people who really respond to Qin Ge. Now facing such feelings, Belfast is naturally very happy.
Belfast served Qin Ge in a gentle voice, took off his clothes, and then washed him up. After watching Qin Ge fall asleep on the bed, she left Qin Ge's room with a smile.
Walking in the dimly lit corridor, although the surroundings were silent, Belfast was in an especially joyful mood...
