"Admiral, can you please not tell everyone about this, especially...especially the big mackerel." Dafeng asked in a low voice with a slight blush on his face.

"Why?!"

Li Ran blinked and was confused.

"Everyone... everyone will laugh, especially the big mackerel." Twisting his body slightly, Dafeng replied softly.

"Yeah?!"

Seeing Dafeng constantly stirring the corners of his clothes, Li Ran smiled and agreed to keep it a secret.

"Admiral, let's meet in the afternoon."

Dafeng then burst into laughter and left the room with brisk steps.

"Admiral~!"

Not long after Dafeng left, the big mackerel ran in, shaking his head.

Looking at the little guy's braids swaying left and right, Li Ran patted his thigh and motioned for the big mackerel to sit up.

"Admiral, Admiral!" He climbed onto Li Ran's lap and sat down on his hands and knees. The big mackerel leaned on Li Ran's chest and asked, "What does Dafeng want from you?"

"Didn't you meet her just now?" Li Ran asked with a smile as he pinched the big mackerel's cheek fondly.

"Hmph~!"

Hearing Li Ran's question, the big mackerel folded his hands in front of his chest and pouted angrily: "What? I just said hello, but Dafeng ran away when he saw me."

"Did you call Dafeng from behind?"

Li Ran poked the big mackerel's swollen cheeks with his fingers, and Li Ran hit the nail on the head.

"Hehe, how do you know, Admiral?" The big mackerel grabbed Li Ran's finger and replied with a smile.

Lowering his head and resting his chin on the big mackerel's head, Li Ran said angrily: "You, don't always scare Dafeng."

"I didn't scare her!"

Shrinking into Li Ran's arms, the big mackerel replied aggrievedly.

After rubbing the big mackerel's head, Li Ran said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you didn't scare Dafeng."

"That's right!" The big mackerel said confidently as he twisted his body and changed his position.

He tightened his arms and held the big mackerel tightly in his arms. Li Ran asked with a smile: "Why did you come to my place today and get into trouble with your friends?"

"No!"

Playing with Li Ran's fingers, the big mackerel yawned: "I was basking in the sun, and I came here when I saw Dafeng coming to see the admiral."

"Okay, I thought you came here because you missed me." Li Ran deliberately pretended to be depressed while smelling the scent of the big mackerel.

"Actually, I miss you a little bit, Admiral." Looking up at Li Ran, the big mackerel asked, "Admiral, the sun is so bright outside right now, can I take a squint in your arms?"

"Of course!"

After looking at the window, Li Ran kicked up his feet and brought the chair into the sunlight.

"Ha~!"

Yawning, the big mackerel stretched and said, "I just want to stay in the admiral's arms and bask in the sun during the day. It's so warm."

After touching the big mackerel lovingly, Li Ran hummed a lullaby softly.

The little guy quickly fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until lunch time.

"Admiral, your singing is so unpleasant!" The big mackerel jumped out of Li Ran's arms and stuck out his tongue, looking at Li Ran with disgust: "They don't sing as well as Sister Eugen."

"Please, I'm just a business person. How can I compare with professionals?" Li Ran rolled his eyes and muttered loudly: "But I taught most of Eugen's songs."

"Anyway, your singing is terrible!"

Wrinkling his nose and making a face, the big mackerel jumped out of the office with a smile on his face.

"This little guy!" Li Ran shook his head with a smile, and complained: "You can't sing well and you still sleep like that."

After sitting on the chair for a while, Li Ran got up and walked towards the cafeteria.

…

After lunch, Li Ran explained to Lexington what happened between him and Dafeng, and then he came to the gate of the guard house.

At the door, Dafeng put his hands behind his back and kicked the stones on the ground with his head down.

"Guess who I am?"

Li Ran quietly walked behind Dafeng, and Li Ran suddenly covered her eyes.

"Yeah~!"

Dafeng screamed in surprise at first, and then pouted in aggrieved tone: "Admiral, you are bullying me!"

"Sorry~!"

Listening to Dafeng's cry, Li Ran quickly let go of his hand and apologized.

"It's okay, as long as it's the admiral, I'm not afraid."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Big Bromeliad shook her head and leaned towards Li Ran.

"Let's go!" Li Ran said while extending his right hand towards Dafeng.

Brush~!

Looking at his admiral's hand, a faint blush quickly climbed onto Dafeng's cheeks.

"Um!"

First, he looked at the governor's mansion behind him. Dafeng lowered his head, greeted him weakly, and then stretched out his hand to grab Li Ran's hand.

Hiss~!

As soon as his fingertips touched Li Ran's hand, Dafeng was startled and subconsciously retracted his hand.

"Let's go quickly, I can't wait any longer."

Suddenly reaching out and grabbing Dafeng's hand, Li Ran pulled her forward.

With her head lowered, Dafeng followed Li Ran's footsteps like a little daughter-in-law, with a flower-like smile blooming on her face.

…

"What kind of book do you want to buy? This is the largest bookstore in the city. You can find all the best-selling books here." Li Ran took Dafeng to the door of the largest bookstore and said.

"Let me consider!"

Dafeng scratched his twin ponytails and looked longingly inside the bookstore.

"Come on, let's go see if there are any of your novels in it." Li Ran rolled his eyes and pulled Dafeng towards the store.

"How can my novel have..."

Pursing his lips, Dafeng followed with complicated emotions.

The admiral said that he wanted to find his own novel. Dafeng was happy, shy, and a little uneasy.

What if I don't have my own book? The Admiral will be disappointed, but I always feel ashamed to let the Admiral read his own novel Dafeng.

Walking into the bookstore, Li Ran really started looking inside the store.

"Itsuka Kotori, Itsuka Kotori!"

Reciting Dafeng's pen name, Li Ran searched for a while and found the novel written by Dafeng on the middle bookcase.

At this time, several customers were already squatting on the ground, browsing.

"Dafeng, look!"

Picking up a book and waving to Dafeng, Li Ran greeted him softly.

Dafeng walked over coquettishly.

She didn't expect that her admiral actually found her novel.

"This novel is not well written. It is a practice work." Looking at the novel in Li Ran's hand, Dafeng explained softly.

"Yeah?"

Li Ran raised the novel in his hand and didn't believe Dafeng's words.

"Really, the writing style is very childish, and the words and sentences are not carefully chosen." Dafeng pursed his lips and said honestly.

After that, Dafeng walked to Li Ran and pointed out the things he was dissatisfied with one by one.

Although he couldn't understand, Li Ran nodded in agreement with Dafeng, and their voices became louder and louder.

"enough!"

Just as he was getting excited, a cold female voice suddenly sounded, and a beautiful woman with snow-white skin walked angrily in front of Dafeng and Li Ran holding a pile of books.

"Girl, is something wrong?"

Meeting the other party's gaze, Li Ran asked with a hint of guilt.
