People are full of pirates

Chapter 20

It was ten o'clock in the middle of the night after taking a shower. Nuoxia changed into the clothes that Taotu had prepared for him, and finally the cloth was untied.

He was still dressed in a white brigadier general's uniform, with pale pink epaulets and cuffs, looking heroic.

Lying on the bed and saying good night to Taotu on the floor, he pretended to close his eyes and fell asleep, but secretly tried to open the system panel with his thoughts.

The dark blue panel appeared in front of him, and it was as smooth as usual. It seemed that the system was indeed as he expected. It was bound to his soul, and it followed the transfer of consciousness and did not stay in the body.

Nuo Xia calmed down, and when she turned her head to look, Taotu had already fallen asleep, breathing steadily and long.

good night.

He murmured another sentence silently, and after watching it quietly for a long time, he lay down and retracted his gaze.

Listening to the breathing in the silent night, sleepiness gradually came like a tide, and finally I fell asleep unknowingly.

Outside the porthole, the sky is full of stars and the moonlight is cold.

……

The next morning, Nuoxia was awakened by a rustling movement.

Sitting up from the bed in a daze, Nuo Xia turned her head and found that Taotu was staring blankly at the ceiling, her face full of doubts about life.

"What's the matter, Commodore Gion?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

Hearing his voice, Taotu turned his head sharply, gritted his teeth and asked, "You, yes, body, body! What's wrong, eh?"

"Why do you wake up automatically at [-]:[-] in the morning, and then you can't fall asleep?"

She looked annoyed, a little crazy, with a hint of... grievance?
Nuo Xia wasn't sure, but she knew very well that the culprit of Taotu's insomnia—obviously, it was her biological clock that was accurate to the second.

"For many years, I have always woken up at this point, and my body has formed muscle memory, sorry."

He smiled shyly, glanced at the bright sky outside the window, and began to think about a question.

Do you still want to go out to exercise in the morning according to your usual habit?

If you don’t exercise in the morning, you always feel that something is missing, and you feel exhausted. Exercise in the morning. It’s not your body that you exercise.

Nuoxia murmured, and after struggling for a while, decided to ask Taotu's opinion.

"Don't go."

This is Taotu's original words. She used an unrelenting attitude to directly smother Nuoxia's thoughts in her mind.

The reason is also very simple. With so many acquaintances on the ship, what is it like to have Nuoxia hold her body and run around the deck foolishly or do some basic physical training in front of everyone's eyes?

The flower of Gao Ling of the dignified naval headquarters, the new generation of heaven's favorite, don't you lose face?
"Then these few days, I can't just do nothing and keep holding it in the room, right?" Nuoxia followed closely behind Taotu, expressing her dissatisfaction with a bitter face, "We have a saying in Donghai, an inch of time One inch of gold, Brigadier General Gion!"

"Nonsense, how can your time be so valuable."

Taotu was brushing her teeth, when she heard the words, she snorted coldly, and said indistinctly, "It's only three days, hold it for me."

After brushing her teeth, she simply washed her face, and when she wiped off the water with a towel, her eyes lifted slightly, and she just happened to meet the handsome young man in the mirror who was easy to make people like.

Under the half-length black hair, the clear and deep black pupils, the firm face with clear lines, the temperament is clean, full of vigor and vitality that only young people have.

Taotu stopped wiping her face, her expression slightly startled.

At this moment, even she, who has always had a high self-esteem, has to admit that the charm of the guy in front of her is almost comparable to her own.

Especially when laughing, the eyes are curved into crescents and the white teeth are exposed. The infectious power seems to make people forget their worries and feel happy all day.

Maybe this is also the reason why he can allow the other party to live on his own body for more than a week, or even go to sea alone to perform tasks for her?
If you change someone else, such as the extra plan, I guess I have already made a bad hand, just knock the other party unconscious, and get through these days in the simplest and most rude way?

"Brigadier General Gion?"

In the back, Nuo Xia watched Taotu staring at the mirror for a while without saying a word, then tentatively asked in confusion.

"Ok?"

Taotu woke up with a start. She turned her head as if nothing had happened, and while continuing to wipe with the towel, she asked Nuoxia casually:

"Before I left Marin Fando, I heard someone mention that among the freshmen of this year's headquarters elite camp, there was a training madman who was desperate to train. He basically spent the whole day on the training ground."

"It now looks like the rumored freak might be you, right?"

My reputation in this area, has it been rumored that the boot camp?

"It should be." Nuoxia scratched her head and answered honestly, "If you refer to this year in particular, it seems that there is indeed no one who trains harder than me."

"No wonder you look uncomfortable when you don't train for a day."

Taotu put the towel back where it was, and after thinking about it, he said, "If that's the case, then I'll go to Kuzan to open a small training room specially, and I'll have a pair with you in the past few days. Give me a guide."

"Eh?"

Nuoxia was originally in a low mood, but instantly climbed to a high point with overjoyed expression on her face, "Really?"

Not only did he provide one-on-one guidance for several days in a row, but he also opened a training room on the warship alone. This is an incredible treatment. When he first saw Taotu two days ago, he didn't even think about it.

"Well, it's a compensation for your inability to participate in this actual combat assessment."

Taotu's expression was flat, as if he had done something trivial, "According to my understanding, Mr. Zefa only started teaching you the Six Forms some time ago, right? Do you want me to specifically guide you in this area, or something else?"

"It will be all right!"

Nuoxia nodded hurriedly, and suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up:
"Oh yes, there is also swordsmanship, I forgot to mention, I am a swordsman of the double-sword style, I hope I can get your guidance on the swordsmanship!"

He could remember very clearly that the future Taotu, in addition to his status as a naval admiral candidate, was also a great swordsman with superb swordsmanship. In terms of swordsmanship alone, almost no one in the entire navy could surpass him.

Everyone has their own strengths, at least Zefa-sensei, who specializes in physical art, is difficult to compare with Taotu in this regard.

"can."

Taotu still had an indifferent attitude. After nodding slightly and agreeing, he took Nuoxia back to the bedroom, took out a sword from behind the table, and threw it to him.

"Take it. After breakfast, I'll go to arrange a training room for you and start today's instruction."

"Oh, oh good."

Nuoxia hurriedly took the sword. He didn't take it seriously at first. After he took over, he felt the heavy touch before realizing it was wrong.

He lowered his head and looked at it carefully, and found that what Peach Rabbit threw to him was the long and narrow saber that he had been carrying before.

He lifted his thumb upwards, and the blade shot out in half. Under the light, it shone with a cold light, the texture was hard, and the fingertips touched it, like ice for ten thousand years.

"Good sword..."

Nuoxia watched fascinatedly for a long time before she regained her senses and couldn't help muttering to herself.

As a swordsman, of course he knew what he was doing, and he was sure that since he practiced kendo, he had never seen any sword that could compare to the one in front of him.

"The famous sword Jin Piluo is one of the twenty-one great swordsmen."

Taotu's faint voice came, "For the sake of your eyesight, I will lend it to you temporarily, but only for these three days, cherish it, I will take it back before you leave the warship and go out to perform tasks. Understand?"
