Hearing these words, Yaha's eyes moved downwards involuntarily.
A pair of thighs protruding from under the short skirt overlap each other, squeezing each other into a soft shape. The white calves are slender and straight, the calves have just the right amount of curvature, and the ankles are as delicate as works of art.
The girl's little feet swayed slightly, the skin on the instep was so white that it was almost transparent, and a few thin blue blood vessels were faintly visible. The soles of the feet were also white and tender, but with a healthy rosy color. The five delicate toes are neatly arranged in a row, four of them are curled up obediently, but the thumb moves playfully from time to time.
Sensing Yaha's gaze, the girl, instead of being shy, raised her calf and almost kicked Yaha:
"It's time to put on my socks, Ya, ha, boat, captain~" Xia Ye repeated it again.
Yaha looked at Xia Ye's arrogant yet cute expression and couldn't guess what she was thinking, but he had indeed promised her, and now he really had no reason to refuse.
It’s just a pair of socks anyway.
And there happened to be no one else in the cab.
After hesitating for a moment, Yaha reached out, grabbed the pair of long white stockings from Xia Ye's hands, and quickly rolled up one of them. She half-knelt in front of her swaying little feet, put the rolled socks on her toes, and pulled them up so that the socks passed over her heels and reached her ankles.
Then, she held Xia Ye's ankle with one hand, and grabbed the socks with the other hand and pulled them up. It didn't take a second to pull the socks to her knees.
"Hey, are you too rough?" Xia Ye swung her little foot and tried to kick Yaha, but her ankle was tightly grasped by the other party's hand and she couldn't move at all.
"Well... you scratched my feet and hurt..."
Yaha still ignored her, straightened up, and lifted her entire leg. The hand holding the sock moved down, and the sock top immediately passed over the small knee and reached the middle of the thigh.
As soon as he let go, the elasticated socks immediately snapped up, squeezing his elastic thighs into a slight dent.
"The other one." Yaha motioned for her to lift her other leg.
Xia Ye did not follow the instructions. Instead, she curled up her stockinged legs, stepped on the edge of the table with her soles, and reached out to rub her ankles.
"Hmph~ You are too strong, it hurts me so much when you catch me." She lowered her head and said.
Pure white hair hung down, blocking the corners of her upturned eyes. In an instant, the girl in Yaha's eyes became much softer, no longer the arrogant and quirky look she usually had.
Seeing that the other party still didn't move, Yaha suddenly squatted down and put the other sock in his hand on the girl's toes, then gently lifted her soles and moved the sock along the lines of her legs bit by bit. Pulled up. This time Yaha's movements were gentle, and by the time Xia Ye noticed it, his socks had already been put on.
"伱......"
She raised her head and was about to speak to the other party, but Yaha interrupted her first.
"Why are you like this again?!"
Xia Ye blinked, not understanding what she meant: "What's this like?"
"Why are you acting like Momo again?" Yaha said with a complicated expression, "Could it be that you think I'm unwilling and just want to pretend to be pitiful?"
"I didn't..."
I haven't turned into Momo. Even if I want to, I can't change now.
Xia Ye originally wanted to say this.
Because her current head is an illusion, formed based on the image in the other person's mind, even if she wants to change her appearance, she can't.
But she stopped after saying a few words.
Because she suddenly discovered the problem:
Since the appearance of the illusion head is formed based on the image in the other person's mind, then why did Yaha see Momo's face when facing him?
…If you never get a regular meal, meal replacement may become a regular meal.
Could it be that Yaha had unknowingly confused herself with Momo?
Xia Ye suddenly realized that she might have gone too far...
"I'm sleepy." She suddenly jumped down from the edge of the table, "Go back to the room and sleep for a while, bye."
"Huh? Wait, didn't you just wake up..." Yaha didn't know what Xia Ye was up to.
But the girl with white hair and red eyes had turned around and left as if running away.
…
She originally wanted to pretend to sleep, but before she knew it, she actually fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already dimly lit outside the window. Xia Ye got up from the bed, took off her pajamas, put on her sailor uniform, and then obediently put on the white stockings from last night.
After tossing herself, she leaned over the pillow and looked at Xiuji. Sure enough, Xiuji was still sleeping, but compared to the motionless sleep last night, he would now scratch himself with his paws from time to time. It seemed that he was almost digesting. It's over.
Xia Ye did not disturb it, put on her shoes, and walked out the door quietly.
In fact, she didn't sleep long. She returned to the room at two o'clock in the middle of the night last night, and now it was only six o'clock in the morning.
Walking into the cab, she found that all the "Four Heavenly Kings" on the ship were there.
Yaha's hair was messy and his eyes had dark circles, obviously he hadn't slept all night.
The first mate also had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, but there was no blood on his body at all, and his sailor suit was also put on a new one. It seemed that after working all night harvesting whales, she took the time to tidy up.
Tang Li was full of energy and seemed to have had a good rest.
As for the chief engineer... Xia Ye couldn't tell, she seemed to look like that all the time.
"Good morning, everyone~" Xia Ye smiled and greeted everyone.
"Morning." Yaha responded simply.
"Good morning, Miss Xia Ye." The first mate was still so polite.
"Good morning." Tang Li's statement was a bit retro.
"Where's the cat?" The chief engineer said two words.
Xia Ye: "?"
When a beautiful girl like me says hello to you, but you ask where my cat is, is it important that I don’t have a cat?
"It was still sleeping. I couldn't bear to wake it up, so I left it in the room." She explained with a smile.
After hearing this, the chief engineer nodded: "Okay."
"I told them all about my decision last night, and everyone is in favor of continuing to hunt the white whale." Yaha said to Xia Ye, "If your mind doesn't change, we will set off within half an hour."
"Of course I agree." Xia Ye said, "Also, Captain Yaha, don't you go and get some sleep?"
"The first mate will go to rest for three hours later," Yaha said. "Then she will come to take over from me and I will go to sleep."
Six-thirty in the morning.
The Moby Dick set sail again under the faint morning light. The ether ramjet thruster was ignited and soon entered the ramjet propulsion mode. The sharp angle of attack split the golden sea of clouds, and the huge hull dragged a long white track. Speeding towards the northwest.
…
Half an hour later.
On the flat, mirror-like sky, a depression suddenly appeared somewhere.
The depression became deeper and deeper, forming a sharp cone shape, as if something was trying to squeeze in from the outside.
Finally, at the top of the cone, the thing finally tore a small hole, revealing its body bit by bit.
It was a moth beast, not too big in size, only 3-4 meters long. After drilling into the sky, it did not fly away in a hurry, but stayed in place and made a strange chirping sound.
Soon, more depressions appeared one after another near the place where it drilled in, forming a dense cone.
After a while, hundreds of the same moth beasts gathered together like a swarm. They swooped down from an altitude of 20,000 meters and pounced on the airspace where the Moby Dick stayed not long ago.
But they found nothing, nothing was left there except dozens of cleanly harvested whale carcasses.
