"Master, welcome back!"

She pinched both sides of her skirt and made a maid salute with a smile on her face.

"Well, I'm back!"

Looking at the head maid's heterochromatic eyes, Li Ran nodded: "Sorry, I...!"

"Owner!"

Covering Li Ran's mouth with his hand, Sheng Sheng slowly shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize or explain anything, just come back!"

Li Ran pursed his lips and had nothing to say.

"Master, you don't look good. Are you tired from the journey?" He touched Li Ran's cheek, and a trace of distress flashed across his face.

"It's okay, just take a rest!"

Gently pressing the palm of Shengsheng, Li Ran was particularly moved at this moment.

"Reputation, don't you blame me?"

After a moment of silence, Li Ran took Shengsheng's hand and asked softly.

Shaking her head, she replied with a prestige smile: "I am a maid. No matter what actions the master makes, I will not blame the master. I will only serve the master wholeheartedly!"

At this point, Shengsheng paused and became a little more serious: "Of course, if the master wants to leave us next time, please take me with you. At least I can take care of the master."

Cough! Cough!

Bismarck immediately coughed twice and said with a smile: "No, if the admiral still wants to escape, I will break his legs and tie him to my side."

Hiss~!

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but take a breath of air.

"Master, don't be afraid, I know Bismarck said all angry words!" He patted the back of Li Ran's hand and said confidently: "Even if it is not angry words, no one can hurt you as long as I am here!"

Feeling the maid's overflowing confidence, Bismarck just pursed his lips.

What she said was indeed angry. No matter what, the ship girl would not do anything to hurt her admiral, so breaking his legs was pure nonsense, but it was possible to tie him to her side.

"ah!"

At this time, Firefly patted his forehead and hurried towards the backyard without saying hello to everyone.

"What happened to the fireflies?"

Seeing this, Li Ran scratched his head and looked at the reputation in confusion.

Shaking her head, the head maid said softly: "Maybe it's to inform everyone that the admiral is back."

"I still want to give you a surprise?" Li Ran hammered his palm, feeling quite regretful.

"Everyone, sit down wherever you want!" After tidying up the pieces in an orderly manner, Shengsheng said softly: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen first to see if there's anything else to eat?"

While talking, the head maid had already cleared the table on the left.

"I'm quite hungry!"

After rubbing his belly, Li Ran sat down unceremoniously.

"Sit down!"

Seeing Bismarck standing still, Li Ran smiled and waved his hand and said jokingly: "Don't be anxious yet!"

"What do I have to worry about?!"

Rolling his eyes, Bismarck sat down absentmindedly.

"I know I know!"

With a chuckle, Li Ran glanced towards the backyard with a playful smile.

"Sister Sheng Sheng, let me help in the kitchen too!"

Seeing the reputation and preparing to leave, London hurriedly stood up and stopped him.

"The visitor is a guest, there is no reason to let the guest do it on his own!" Before Li Ran could say anything to remind him, Shengsheng rejected London with a smile.

Phew~!

Seeing this, Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid of his reputation and agreed to London's request for help because he was a partner in the same department.

"Hey, we are all friends of the same department, and we are all a family. If you say you are a guest, you will be ignored!" Rolling up his sleeves, London shamelessly hugged him.

She hasn't entered the kitchen for a long time.

"Just because we are a family, that's why I won't let you enter the kitchen!" Shen Sheng thought in his heart as he glanced at London without any trace.

"Sister Sheng Sheng, you don't know that I returned to the town hall very early and learned a lot of cooking skills from Yixian and Lexington."

Holding the arm of prestige, London showed off proudly.

"My cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I have a lot of interesting ideas. I'll cook them for everyone, okay?"

"talk later!"

He responded perfunctorily, pointed at Li Ran and said, "Aren't you going to stay and protect the admiral?"

"It's okay!" Waving his hand, London said nonchalantly: "With Constellation and Bismarck here, the Admiral will not be in danger. Besides, if you are not here, there will be no danger!"

Hearing this, Sheng Sheng had no choice but to look at Li Ran for help. As a maid, the thing she was not good at was rejecting people.

"London, come and sit!"

Thinking that the reputation was for himself, Li Ran put aside his interest in watching the show and motioned for London to sit over.

"oh!"

After puckering his lips in grievance, London finally sat back obediently.

Phew~!

Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Yeah~!

Not long after Sheng Sheng left, Li Ran heard a crackling sound coming from the back kitchen, and then, a woman also wearing a maid outfit ran out of the back kitchen.

"Wow, it's really the Admiral. I thought my sister was kidding me!" After clapping her hands, the visitor quickly rushed over.

"Fight back, I'm back!"

Standing up with a smile, Li Ran opened his hands to fight back.

"Admiral~!"

His steps suddenly stopped, and he lowered his head shyly.

Seeing this, Li Ran didn't force himself, and wiped off the foam on the tip of his nose with his backhand: "How did you get yourself like this?"

Compared with his perfect and chic reputation, his counterattack was obviously a bit embarrassing. The maid uniform on his body was full of traces of being splashed with water, and there was some white foam stuck to his face.

"Hey, I'm washing the dishes in the back!" He wiped his hands on his apron and hurriedly straightened his appearance before replying with a smile.

She poked her head out and took a look, and Sheng Sheng shook her head in confusion. She didn't call for a counterattack, and went into the kitchen alone to get busy.

"By the way, where are the others?"

Signing to sit down, Li Ran looked towards the backyard curiously.

"Hood is taking a nap, and the other little guys are receiving training from Nelson and Rodney!" Sitting on the chair obediently, he counterattacked and told the news about his companions.

"train?!"

Li Ran blinked and looked curious.

"Yeah, training!"

He nodded and replied: "Everyone feels that it is their lack of strength that made the admiral disappear, so we train every day."

"Admiral~!"

After a pause in his tone, he looked at Li Ran pitifully and asked, "You won't leave this time, will you?"

"I won't leave, I won't leave. If I dare to leave, some people will break my legs~!" Li Ran waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Who dares to break the admiral's legs?!"

In counterattack, he slammed the table and stood up with a red face.

Apparently the news made her angry.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a joke!" Li Ran explained with a smile, then raised his head and glanced at Bismarck.

Bismarck sighed helplessly.
