The aggressive questioning took place in the morning kitchen.

"What's this?"

"Breakfast prepared for you, Commodore, fried eggs and bacon..."

"Where's the egg?"

"...swallowed by oil."

"Where's the bacon?"

"Been eaten by the pot."

"Then what is this remaining black mess?"

"Heart-shaped, does it look like my love for you, Brigadier?"

"..."

The little rabbit who just woke up suddenly became angry.

"Are all your hearts black, huh?"

She stretched out her slender fingers as white as green onions and pinched Nuo Xia's cheek, but looking at the latter's innocent eyes, her heart softened and she was reluctant to use any force.

Is it my own illusion...

Why do I feel like this guy has become so much more handsome when I wake up?

"With your cooking skills, I don't know where you get the confidence to make breakfast for me..."

She finally shook her head slightly, withdrew her right hand, took off the apron from the hook next to it and tied it on, sighing, "I'll do it. You just have to wait by the dining table."

The apron is white, dotted with strawberry patterns, and surrounded by lace.

After Taotu put it on, she looked more like a housewife. When she turned her back, the loose skirt still couldn't cover the round and straight curves. Nuo Xia's heart palpitated when she saw it, and she inexplicably remembered the battle last night.

.

"Look at your size, idiot." Taotu kicked him in embarrassment, "If you are so free, go and clean the sheets."

"As you command, Brigadier."

Nuo Xia immediately turned around, walked in unison, and left the kitchen.

After arriving in the bedroom, he glanced at the messy mattress and suddenly felt dizzy.

Well, I thought it would be an easy job, but it turns out that the red blood stains on it have dried up in large areas. This is not something that can be solved by just cleaning it up. How can I explain it without cleaning it properly?

He picked up the bedding, sheets and quilt, went to the faucet and started rubbing them. As he rubbed them, he couldn't help but start to complain in his heart——

The technology tree of this world is really crooked. There are refrigerators, fans, and black technologies like combat robots.

Unfortunately, there is no washing machine, so I have to wash the three-piece thick bed set myself.

Simply outrageous.

———

After finally finishing the washing, nearly half an hour later, the kitchen table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast.

Taotu had already taken off her apron and was sitting opposite, waiting. When she saw him approaching, she stretched out her slender legs under the table, kicked out the chair opposite, and said with a smile:

"Sit down, it's time to start."

"...That's so considerate, Brigadier. But next time, I suggest it be better to pull it apart with your hands."

The two sat down opposite each other and raised their knives and forks at the same time. The sunlight outside was screened by the lattice window into countless tiny spots of light, which fell on the table. Nuo Xia turned his head to look at the morning light, and then looked down at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him.

.

"why are you laughing?"

Taotu noticed from the corner of his eye the corners of his mouth.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Nuo Xia looked up at her and said seriously, "...it's very warm, like an old couple. I like this feeling very much, Brigadier."

"You are old."

Taotu rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head and continued eating without any sympathy.

"The omelette tastes good, and the cheese gratin is also delicious... Brigadier General, how come I didn't know you were such a good cook before?"

"Because you were not qualified to let me take the initiative to cook for you before."

"Is it enough to become a major general now? Brigadier General, it really makes me sad that you are so arrogant and respectful."

"...Then this is the last time, you will cook from now on."

"If you don't mind the taste, I'd be quite happy to be a cook."

A long silence.

"...If you win, I will do it from now on."

Is my cooking skill really that terrible? It's just a little bit weak at most.

"There are also desserts... Hey, where did the lemon slices come from? They are quite fresh. I don't remember seeing them in the refrigerator?"

"Kuzan sent it last night. It was a big package. It was said to be a celebration gift from him. It also had ice cubes in it to keep it fresh. It was left at the entrance and was not brought in."

"……oh."

It's good to have delivery people.

With such professionalism, Hema Fresh could not charge a high price and hire a frozen chicken classmate as CEO?

After eating was almost done, Nuo Xia took the initiative to get up and contracted the dishwashing business.

Taotu was too lazy to be polite, half-leaning in front of the sofa, leisurely sipping freshly squeezed lemonade.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"What?"

Nuo Xia, who was gritting his teeth and fighting against a stubborn oil stain, asked without raising his head.

"My new appointment seems to have come down. Sister He said that Marshal Kong has signed the warrant and issued it."

"What is the specific position?"

"I don't know yet. I will go to the staff office to confirm later and then I will know." Taotu put down the glass in his hand, "The detergent is in the cupboard above your head."

"You didn't tell me earlier."

The stain was finally gone. Nuo Xia breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and thought for a while, "Should I also go to Marshal Kong and ask him about his arrangements for me?"

"You have just been awarded the title. Logically speaking, if you have arrangements, it won't be that fast. The headquarters probably intends to let you rest for a while. It doesn't hurt to wait for a few days."

"That's not possible. I'm going to take a long leave to go back to the East China Sea. If I take this leave for no reason and lose the chance of returning to the East China Sea, who am I going to cry to?"

Nuo Xia clapped his hands with his fists and paid attention, "It's decided, I will follow you to the fortress building later!"

"That's okay." Taotu didn't care about this, "After finishing the work, let's meet at the gate downstairs."

"okay."

…………

About an hour later.

Headquarters fortress building, top floor.

Ganggu Kong, who had just finished processing a batch of documents, finally found time to meet with Nuo Xia who was waiting on the sofa outside the door.

"Young people are just different."

Across the table, looking at the young major general in a white suit with a calm temperament, Gang Gukong couldn't help but sigh slightly:

"You are so high-spirited and energetic every day. When I look at you, I seem to see my own shadow decades ago."

The female adjutant who was helping to sort out documents and secretly glanced at Nuo Xia from time to time, suddenly black lines appeared on her forehead.

——Marshal, can you please have a little face?

No matter how much younger you are, your appearance and the appearance of Major General Nosha are not on the same level. How are they similar?

"I have always heard from Zefa that you are a diligent and good young man, and you have always been known as a training madman in the elite camp."

On the other end, Cyborg Kong continued to smile leisurely and said, "Now it turns out that it is indeed the case. Why, you have just finished the title award, and you can't sit still anymore. Do you want to find something to do?"

What a good kid.

It would be great if all the generals under my command had this kind of temperament.

"I am indeed here to ask you about my position arrangements, Marshal."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly and changed the topic, "But if there is an emergency combat mission, I may not be able to participate..."

He briefly talked about family leave.

Kong was slightly surprised, but he still nodded and agreed without any hesitation:

"I haven't been home for a year and a half. That's no problem. I'll give you forty days of leave and let you make a special trip back to the East China Sea to visit relatives. How about that? Is it enough?"

Forty days? This was much more generous than he expected. Nuo Xia felt happy and quickly stood up and saluted:

"That's enough, Marshal, thank you for your understanding."

"Hahaha, forty days is not a long time. After all, even if you take a warship across the windless zone, it will take nearly a month to go back and forth."

Kong laughed loudly, took out a document from the drawer, and threw it in front of Nuo Xia.

"Actually, I had already decided on your appointment before you were awarded the title yesterday. I originally planned to officially announce it next week. Now that you took the initiative to find it, let's see for ourselves."
To be continued...
