"Merry Christmas, Captain!" Pearl approached and squeezed next to Ou Yue before sitting down. "Let me take a look, has your hand healed?"

"Already healed a while ago. I mean, what can you even see through the bandage?" Ou Yue laughed as she watched Pearl repeatedly flipping and inspecting her right hand.

Perle giggled and released his hand, taking out a rectangular box from her pocket. "Here you go, Captain. I've specially made this Christmas gift for you."

Ou Yue looked at his smirk at the corner of his mouth and the unhidden excitement in his eyes. Unable to help herself, she arched her eyebrows and accepted it, saying, "Can I open it and take a look now?"

"Of course!"

"Let me see what it is..."

Ou Yue pushed down the latch and opened the box.

Inside, there were three neatly arranged vials, and unbelievably, the liquid inside the glass vials was pink.

"What is this? Strawberry drink?"

The corners of Ou Yue's mouth twitched slightly. "Will you drink it or inject it?"

"This is..." Pearl mysteriously lowered her voice. "Specially designed for older single men. It can be injected, applied externally, or taken internally, and it's all very effective, oh."

"...It's just a powerful aphrodisiac, but in the eerie pink color that matches Pearl's girlish heart."

Captain, you've been single for so long, and we're all really worried about your happiness," Pearl looked concerned, "Is there something wrong with your health?"

"...I'm fine, thank you." Ou Yue's face darkened as she closed the box and took out another small velvet box that had been prepared earlier, handing it to him. "This is for you."

"Wow!" Paul eagerly took the small box and excitedly opened it. When he saw the shiny butterfly hair clip inside, he exclaimed,

"Oh my goodness, it's so adorable! Captain, you're so good to me!"

"...Why is the reaction not what I imagined! The butterfly hairpin and all just completely match Perle's girly side..."

"You liking it is enough..." Maybe only by giving him an electric shaver or something like that, can we make Perl explode with anger..."

"Captain, Perl, come over and have a drink!" Vice Captain Leio's loud voice came over.

"Let's go, Captain, let's go and have some fun." Pearl carefully packed away the small gift and excitedly stood up.

The two walked over and saw that they were gathered together playing drinking games and cards. Upon seeing Ou Yue, some of the slightly tipsy team members approached her to offer a toast.

"Come on, Captain, for the sake of the hardships we shared with our brothers, let's have a drink!"

"Captain, I raise my glass to you!"

"Merry Christmas, Captain!"

"Captain..."

So, before Ou Yue could say anything, everyone started talking all at once and bombarded him with a barrage of words.

Eu Yue had fair skin, and it was easy for him to get flushed after drinking a little. At this moment, there was a faint pink blush on his cheeks. His tolerance for alcohol was average, but the wheat beer he was drinking had a low alcohol content, so it was not intoxicating.

But Pearl, on the other hand, is different. His alcohol tolerance is surprisingly low. After just a few glasses, he becomes dizzy and disoriented, unable to find his bearings. He keeps pouring himself onto Ou Yue, so she has to support him by wrapping her arm around his shoulder to prevent him from falling.

The crowd burst into inexplicable laughter at this ambiguous gesture. However, Leo's expression turned grim without anyone noticing. Frowning, he said, "Captain, Pearl is drunk. Let me take him back."

Ouyue nodded in frustration. Leiao reached out and tried to pry Per's hand away, but Per grasped even tighter, grumbling in protest. Per swatted away Leiao's reaching hand while simultaneously wrapping their arms around Ouyue's neck, rubbing their fluffy head against Ouyue's neck.

The onlookers immediately started whistling and jeering. They never expected that Perle and their captain would have such a close relationship. No wonder this kid always loves to stick with their captain.

"Per, you..." Yue couldn't help but feel helpless towards this drunken fool. As her warm breath sprayed onto his face, he took a step back in confusion, about to push Per away.
