Helena paused, put the water bottle in her hand back, and was a little dazed. In the past, she was the one who brought the water. Cleveland only needed to take two steps to her and she would pass the water to him. Now...
"But this is normal." Helena thought with relief, "After all, I've been away for so long, it's impossible for her to not drink anything all the time, right? Why make a fuss..."
So Helena pulled herself together, walked over and said hello.
“Cleveland.”
"Pu-cough...cough cough..."
Cleveland was choking and coughing non-stop. Helena hurried over and handed him a handkerchief, but he didn't take it. After he caught his breath, he took two steps back and looked her up and down carefully.
"Ah... Helena, long time no see."
The dry tone made the atmosphere between the two people a little awkward, and the basketball court suddenly became quiet.
"It shouldn't be like this..." Helena tightened her grip on the handkerchief, "...it still feels like we are getting estranged."
She pursed her lips, took the handkerchief and tried to get closer to help her bestie wipe the water stains off her chin, but she seemed to be startled, took two steps back, and wiped it with her sleeve, looking a little panicked.
"Ah... no, no, um... I didn't make it yesterday. Welcome back."
Helena took back the handkerchief, feeling a little sad. She didn't know why this happened. It was just that they hadn't seen each other for two months. They video chatted every night and stayed up late, so why was it so awkward when they met?
"...did I do something wrong?"
When Helena asked this question, Cleveland became obviously flustered. After hesitating for a while, he stammered and said no.
"Then why is this happening...Are you afraid of me?"
Cleveland hung his head and could not speak, but every time Helena raised her foot to take a step closer, Cleveland would take a large step back as if his tail was stepped on.
Helena was completely confused, but she also realized that the other party's condition was not right, so she lost her temper and took two steps back.
"...Then I'll go back first."
Helena walked back after she finished speaking, and of course she didn't see Cleveland, who looked up suddenly when he heard her words, with an obvious blush and an astonishing heat on his face.
Helena walked back with her head down. She was feeling confused, but she could still feel that the person behind her was keeping a distance and following her closely.
But Helena just didn't want to care about these things. She was no longer in the mood to think about anything else. She didn't know why such a good relationship suddenly turned out like this.
This feeling made her feel uncomfortable, as if there was a piece of bitter gourd stuck in her throat. She could neither swallow it nor spit it out. She could only let the bitter taste spread.
They left the basketball court and walked past the restaurant, facing the curious gazes of the little yellow chickens, and ignored Ming Miao who popped his head out of the store.
Just as she saw the dormitory door from a distance, Helena heard the familiar voice behind her saying:
"Sea...Helena."
Helena stopped and didn't turn around, just stood there and listened to her.
"Well... a new amusement park has been built in the port area..."
"How about...how about I take you to...see it?"
Helena frowned and turned around, pursing her lips with tears in her eyes. She looked at Cleveland, who was blushing and scratching his head in front of her, with the word "uncomfortable" written all over his body, and said aggrievedly:
"...good."
Chapter 203: Strangeness?
Since Commander Su Xiao said that she didn't need to accompany him, Helena didn't insist. After giving some instructions, she left the command room and walked towards the basketball court in the port area.
She was going to find her good friend Cleveland.
To call them good friends is actually not very objective. In Helena's heart, she already regarded this light cruiser from the same camp as her best friend.
When they first rescued Cleveland from the sea, the two of them were not very familiar with each other. When the young commander called them "Dad C" and "Mom Cleveland", Helena felt very at a loss.
But Helena got used to this strange name after hearing it so many times. She didn't know what Cleveland felt about it, but she just silently accepted the name "Hai Ma".
The commander in the family is still young. Although he is almost an adult in age, he has always had some emotional defects. Coupled with his petite body, she always subconsciously regards the young commander as a child like Rafi.
"As the secretary ship, I am responsible for handling various official duties and taking care of the commander's daily life, so it is only natural for me to raise her like a child... right?"
Later, as she and Cleveland interacted and interacted with each other in daily life, the distance between them began to gradually narrow, and Helena gradually got to know this sister who was confident and sunny every day.
Helena knew that Cleveland knew a lot of things, but she didn't like to tidy up her room. Although she loved hygiene, a slightly messy wardrobe and bed would still make Helena feel uncomfortable. She had to do it herself.
hand.
Helena also knew that Cleveland cared about her very much and would share with her everything, big or small, as long as it was happy and interesting, but she would never talk about worries.
Helena admires people like Cleveland, who is sunny, confident and fearless. This may be one of the reasons why her relationship with Cleveland has improved.
Helena finally had some free time today, so she wanted to find Cleveland and have a good chat.
Although the two had talked a lot during the time she accompanied the young commander on a long journey, the feeling of chatting face to face when they were thousands of miles apart was always different. Thinking of this, Helena couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Is she becoming distant from me?"
Helena was a little worried. When she passed by Ming's shop, she went in and bought a bottle of water as usual. Ming Miao, who stood up from his chair, saw this and teased her while paying the bill.
"Are you going to look for Cleveland, meow?"
"Hmm? Ah... yes." Helena came back to her senses and felt a little puzzled. "Why did Boss Ming know that I was going to see Cleveland?"
"Hmm? Every time you buy water, don't you buy it for Cleveland?" Ming Miao laughed twice and added meaningfully, "You two have a really good relationship, meow~"
"Yes, she usually takes good care of me."
Helena took it for granted that Ming Miao, who was ready to watch the show, suddenly lost interest.
"Two dollars, thank you for your patronage, meow~"
Helena paid the money and took the bottle of water without putting it into the space. She just held it in her hand and walked towards the basketball court.
She is not so worried now. Boss Ming just said that they have a good relationship. So, there shouldn't be any estrangement between them.
So Helena went to the basketball court with great anticipation, and from a distance she could see the figure running with the ball on the court.
Helena actually didn't know much about basketball. She only knew that Cleveland's shooting was very accurate and his moves looked beautiful, so he must be very good.
She walked over slowly and was about to call out as usual and hand the water in her hand to the other party, but she saw Cleveland stop what he was doing, took a bottle of water and drank two sips.
Helena paused, put the water bottle in her hand back, and was a little dazed. In the past, she was the one who brought the water. Cleveland only needed to take two steps to her and she would pass the water to him. Now...
"But this is normal." Helena thought with relief, "After all, I've been away for so long, it's impossible for her to not drink anything all the time, right? Why make a fuss..."

Chapter 204 A chaotic threesome
"Have you been to the amusement park?" Helena chatted casually behind Cleveland.
"Yeah...I passed by it a few times while running."
"So you've never been in there before?" Helena felt better. "That's good. Otherwise, it would be so boring to play it again."
Cleveland listened to the slightly cheerful voice behind him and silently swallowed back the words "With you, nothing will be boring."
She seemed unable to speak as easily and casually as before, and she became more cautious unconsciously when she was with Helena.
"I seem to care more about what Helena thinks of me than ever before?"
Cleveland felt a little confused and didn't know when this change started, but it did make her feel a little uncomfortable.
However, it was impossible for her to keep a distance from Helena because of this. She had already made Helena unhappy by taking two steps back subconsciously. If she hid now, it would be difficult to appease her.
Cleveland breathed a sigh of relief and patted his cheeks gently. He planned to take Helena out for some fun and try to regain the comfortable feeling they had when they were together before.
Helena didn't think too much about it. In her impression, Cleveland was always sunny and optimistic. Even if he had some troubles, they would be solved quickly and she didn't need to worry about anything.
The two of them arrived at the amusement park one after the other. Because Lan was absent-minded and didn't see the ticket seller, Cliff took Helena straight in.
The little yellow chicken was so anxious. Even if we are family, you can't take advantage of us for free, right? Brothers should settle accounts clearly, right? So he started jumping around frantically at the ticket office.
Fortunately, Helena happened to be looking around and saw a little yellow chicken jumping at a window. She looked up and saw three big words "Ticket Office" hanging above the window.
My goodness, Cleveland almost took her out to evade the ticket.
Helena laughed, pulled Cleveland who was walking forward with his head down, dragged the would-be freeloader who didn't understand what was going on to buy a new ticket, and then walked into the amusement park.
The carousel in the center of her sight certainly did not attract Helena's attention. Although she had never ridden on it, she was indeed past the age to be interested in this project.
She was actually more interested in the pirate ship on the left. Although she was still a little scared, with Cleveland playing with her, Helena didn't feel so nervous anymore.
"Come on, let's go. I want to try that." Helena took Cleveland's hand and walked towards the pirate ship. "I've never thought about riding a pirate ship."
Of course Cleveland agreed. She didn't think there was anything scary about these projects. They were just pirate ships. To the almighty Cleveland, they were just a drop in the bucket.
So the two of them fastened their safety equipment in their seats on the pirate ship, waiting for the little yellow chicken on the console to start the pirate ship.
Helena was like an ordinary girl, holding the safety bar in front of her tightly with both hands, looking around nervously and with a little expectation.
Cleveland stared at the pretty profile of the girl beside him in a trance.
At this moment, she suddenly forgot that she was a ship girl, and also forgot that the girl next to her was quite powerful. She just felt that the two of them were like ordinary people that could be seen everywhere outside the port area, just pursuing simple happiness and enjoying this
At this moment.
“Hey hey…it’s started…it’s started…”
Helena was a little nervous. She grabbed Cleveland, who was in a daze, and shook him gently. Then she screamed softly as the swing became more and more intense.
The pirate ship swayed higher and higher, and the angle became larger and larger. Helena gradually seemed to let go, and laughed and shouted at the loudest volume she had ever made.
"ah-
Cleveland was stunned when he saw Helena being so casual, and then suddenly he seemed to let go of something and also screamed loudly.
