Tiancheng behaved very modestly and low-key. Although the situation was still clear judging from what the little commander said in the morning and her performance after being kissed, she still had to pass the test of her future mother-in-law.
So starting from breakfast, Su's mother made many small but very tedious requests, intending to temper Tiancheng's temper and find fault with him so that she could make some insults with a legitimate reason.
But as a ship girl, Amagi’s physical condition is almost at its best, and her inherent weakness was also cured by the Purifier last time, so there is no problem with her physical strength at all.
Patience is even less of a problem. She has been guarding this young commander since her eyesight became poor and has endured his teasing countless times. Although it was all subconscious, it was still very damaging to her.
The combination of the two made Amagi such a careful and patient ship girl that Su's mother was unable to find any problems with her behavior.
But she couldn't let go of her prejudice and accept Tiancheng in a short time.
Her original plan was to find a dedicated and motivated boy for her daughter to take care of the little commander, so that they could feel at ease and look forward to spoiling their grandchildren in the future.
But Tiancheng and Lafei are both women. Regardless of their personalities and abilities, the thought of having grandchildren has already been dashed.
Su's mother is a traditional person. She cannot yet accept the possibility that her daughter's partner is of the same sex, but she cannot bring herself to deny everything.
After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to try to understand the current situation while worrying about Tiancheng, who might become his son-in-law.
Tiancheng could obviously see that Su's mother's attitude was gradually softening. Although she felt that it was too early to talk about a son-in-law, it did not prevent her from leaving a good impression on her mother-in-law first.
So the little commander sat next to Lafite the whole day, watching Tiancheng sweep and mop the floor, wash vegetables and cook, and even wash and dry clothes.
To be honest, she had never seen Tiancheng do these trivial things before. The inherent impression of this fox in her was that of a dignified and gentle big sister, which seemed much more realistic now.
As Lafei looked young, she was not troubled much. When Su's mother saw her sitting with Su Xiaozhi, she didn't say anything. In her opinion, Tiancheng's problem was more serious.
Therefore, Lafite enjoyed completely different treatment from Tiancheng.
She could sit next to Su Xin openly, leaning on her, leaning against her, and sticking close to her. Occasionally, she could even get food from the little commander, which made her very satisfied.
Moreover, the commander seemed to have become more talkative since he went out last night. Unlike before when he always avoided Su Xin, now Su Xin was much more frank, which made Lafei very happy.
What made her even happier was that the furniture company delivered a new bed to her home in the afternoon.
Since it had been many years, the same model of wooden bed was no longer available, so Su's father and mother picked and bought the little commander a new bed that looked similar.
The bed was not big, as if it was specially chosen to match Su Xin's room which was full of stuffed toys. It was obviously a bit crowded for two people to sleep on it, but it was more than enough for two children.
Therefore, Lafite was looking forward to it the whole day, hoping that she could go back to the past and sleep in the same bed with the little conductor. Unfortunately, before going to bed at night, a word from Su's mother made her wish completely shattered.
"Tiancheng will sleep on the sofa, and Xinxin will sleep in a room by herself."
Mother Su looked at Tian Cheng who responded gently and was quite satisfied. After thinking for a while, she told Su Xiao: "Remember to lock the door at night."
The little commander responded obediently. After Su's father and mother entered the bedroom and closed the door, she quietly waved to Lafei, who was obviously disappointed, and said, "Why don't you come in?"
Lafite was stunned. She really didn't expect this to be the outcome, so she quickly abandoned Yixian, who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and followed Commander Su Xiao into the room.
She thought she might feel somewhat unfamiliar with sleeping in the same bed, but she didn't expect that when she saw the corner of the quilt lifted by the little commander, her body would naturally slip in.
The familiar body temperature of the person next to him made Lafite, who had not seen him for a long time, a little dazed, but he nestled into the little conductor's arms so skillfully and quickly.
When their skin touched, the faint sweet scent of peach lingered in his nose as usual. The familiar scene suddenly moved Lafite.
Su Xin didn't have any strange thoughts. She just held the white rabbit tightly in her arms. After her body temperature was raised by the other party's slightly higher body temperature, she asked softly:
"Well... do you feel relieved now?"
"...Yes." Lafei buried his head in Su Xiaozhi's arms again, then stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Su Xin's waist, and hugged her tightly, "...very much."
"Really? That's good."
Commander Su thought about it and felt that it was necessary to explain: "I have neglected too many things in the past... Now I want to work hard to make up for them."
"I will do my best to meet your expectations in the future. As for the relationship, it may take some time..."
"Ah, but let me make it clear first. Although I will try my best to give you feedback, it does not mean that I can do anything."
"It's just... it's too deep... that's not allowed, because it feels too weird. Um... hugs are fine anytime, but the rest... I haven't thought about it yet."
Rafi rubbed herself in the little commander's arms, feeling a softness that was different from the past. She was very happy and touched the little commander's chin with her forehead.
"That's good..."
Chapter 316...What happened?
Su Xin and her group of four stayed at home for three whole days. They did nothing every day and basically spent their time watching TV, eating, chatting, and even playing with their phones with their father and mother.
By the fourth day of the holiday, Su's father and mother could no longer sit still.
It’s not that they have begun to dislike their own children, but they themselves are more or less too idle.
In fact, Su's father and mother rarely have free time. In most cases, even if there is nothing to do, they will find something to do for themselves so that they will not feel that the day has been meaningless when they return home.
In this regard, Su's father and mother are actually a little similar to Helena, or perhaps this may be a classic phenomenon when parents get older.
It is obviously not appropriate to ask everyone to go out for travel and play, but if they are asked to stay at home to retire, they will feel that they have done nothing every day and are very tired.
After much deliberation, Su's father and mother decided to resume their usual work the next day. After all, even if they were doing business, there would be many problems that they needed to deal with.
But before leaving home to start working again, Su's father and mother felt it necessary to call everyone in the family and hold a very serious family meeting.
"Well... today it's mainly your mother who wants to say a few words to everyone." Father Su briefly explained to Su Xin as an opening remark, and then Mother Su took over the conversation.
“It’s like this, although our education level is relatively limited, as parents, we definitely hope that our children can live a happy life.
"Your situation... is really beyond my imagination. I have never heard of such a thing before, so it is difficult for me to accept it."
"But I know that my daughter is a child with her own opinions. She has always been like this since she was young, so I am very confident in her."
"Since she has chosen to forgive you in this matter, I can't blame you anymore." Mother Su looked at Tiancheng and Lafei meaningfully, then sighed, "I'm really sorry for what I did to you a few days ago.
In a rage."
Tiancheng smiled and shook her head, not feeling any grievance. After all, she did get a great deal. At the same time, she also understood Su's mother's emotions. For ordinary people, this was indeed a bit beyond the scope.
Originally, her father and I were thinking of finding someone who could take care of Xinxin and live with her for the rest of her life, so that we would feel more at ease.
"And to be honest, we haven't fulfilled our responsibilities and obligations as parents, so it's still a pity. I hope to make up for it when I have grandchildren in the future."
Mother Su looked at the four people who were suddenly stunned, and said with some regret: "But it should be impossible now, alas..."
"But these are secondary things. The most important thing is to make Xinxin happy forever.
"...So I hope you can respect Xinxin's opinions more, and...don't do anything too extreme before you turn 18."
Speaking of this, Su's mother's expression was somewhat embarrassed, but looking at the four people with blushing faces, she felt that she should be the one to talk about this matter.
"Well... these are the main things. I won't care about the other things. It depends on Xinxin's opinion. She has grown up, and it's time for her to take on her own responsibilities."
"That's all I have to say. We've had a few days off, so it's time to get back to work. Otherwise, we'll always feel bored."
"As for you, it's almost time for you to go back. Aren't the commander and the ship girl very busy? You need to do commissions or something, so you'd better go back early and don't affect your life."
Commander Su Xiao actually wanted to say that he was not busy, but then he thought about it and realized that he lived at home every day and didn't know what to do, so he decided to just go back to the port area. It would not be a good thing for the port area if the commander left for too long.
So after having a sumptuous dinner, the group set off for home at noon the next day.
The time on the train was still dull and boring. The long journey always makes people feel sleepy, at least Lafite was very sleepy.
She hadn't slept in much in the past few days. Although her sleep quality had improved a lot after sleeping with the little commander, she still felt sleepy.
Now that she had some free time and there was no one around who needed her attention, she didn't need to worry about her image, so Lafite spent a lot of time catching up on sleep.
The young commander didn't have the habit of taking a nap. He would usually wait until Rafi fell asleep, then move him out of the way, and then read a book or watch a TV series, finding something interesting to pass the time.
But today she really didn't want to watch TV series anymore. After thinking it over, she decided to take a look at the virtual port area that she hadn't observed carefully for a long time.
The main progress bar of the virtual port area remained unchanged, and it stagnated again after giving Commander Su Xiao a somewhat useless sense of smell ability.
Although the inventory of Mind Cubes was quite sufficient, the absorption process was too time-consuming and boring, causing the little commander to be reluctant to absorb it.
The progress of the Monarch in the research ship has also been stuck, because Su Xin has not participated in a battle for a long time. It seems that if she wants to really go into the water, she will have to wait until the winter.
The blueprints for the scientific research equipment were still all zero. Commander Su Xiao had thought that some would be dropped when she was gaining experience, but unexpectedly, there was not a single blueprint.
It seems that we will have to rely on other methods to obtain the blueprints of scientific research equipment.
As for the dock interface... Commander Su has already seen the shaking little red heart next to Tiancheng and Lafei's avatars, which means that their favorability towards her has reached 100.
Let’s not talk about how to quantify something like favorability. Just based on the commander’s inferiority complex and awkward personality, he can’t believe in such unfounded things, so he just skips it.
As the little commander watched, he discovered something strange: little Zeppelin's portrait and health bar were still there.
Logically speaking, since Little Zeppelin had already gone back, the avatar and status bar in the dock interface should have dimmed or disappeared, but for some reason, Su Xin could still see Little Zeppelin's health bar status.
Commander Su couldn't understand this. After all, if little Zeppelin had really returned, he would definitely contact them. How could he just keep silent?
However, she had no way to verify this, so she could only keep this doubt in her heart for the time being and wait for an opportunity to verify it.
As he was thinking, Commander Su was infected by Lafite's sleepiness and fell asleep as well.
Rafi went to bed early and woke up early, but there was nothing he wanted to do, so he simply discussed the topic of "having children" with Tiancheng.
"...Can humans and shipgirls have children?"
Tiancheng thought about it and said, "No way? Although their structures are similar, they are two different creatures after all."
"...But the commander...is becoming a ship girl, isn't he?"
Tiancheng was stunned, "...Yes."
The two were silent for a while, and then concluded in tacit understanding: "...So it's still possible?"
So when Commander Su woke up, she found that the two people in the bed opposite her were looking at her in very strange ways. Confused, she had no choice but to shrink back into the quilt, whining and scolding softly.
"...What are you looking at!"
ps: In fact, this is also a question. How do you accept this? In the future, I will release a sweet orange or a snack. I have even thought of the principle and operation. Of course, it will be in the future, but [
[Having a child] The label is a bit niche, and may even be a red flag, so I want to ask for your opinions. Can you vote? I'm so sleepy, I'll check the typos tomorrow, good night~
Chapter 317 Maid's Daily Work
When the first ray of sunlight shone through the windowsill in the early morning, Sheffield opened his eyes very punctually, then without hesitation, he threw back the quilt, stretched his legs and got out of bed.
The pure white lace nightgown was replaced by a neat maid outfit in an instant, and the bare legs were replaced with suspender stockings and shiny boots in the blink of an eye.
Sheffield, neatly dressed in high-heeled boots, walked into the bathroom. After washing up, she fastened her Katyusha in front of the mirror, braided her long ivory-gray hair, and prepared to start her day's work.
Since her little master had been away from the port for eleven days, fifteen hours and twenty-three minutes, Sheffield, who had no one to serve, had to adjust her work content slightly and began to be responsible for the basic needs of all the ship girls.
It is now 6:52, and she needs to arrive at the cafeteria before 7:10 to start her first job of the day - cleaning the kitchen.
In fact, there are always some big and small problems in the kitchen. Although the sanitary conditions in the port area are very good and there are no creatures such as rats and cockroaches, there are still mosquitoes and the like.
What she needed to do was to clean up all these annoying flying insects before Helena, Ning Hai, Ping Hai and other substitute chefs arrived.
Of course, pesticides and other chemicals cannot be used in the kitchen, so her accurate shooting skills come in handy. As for why she doesn't help with the cooking...
That's because the royal maid seems, possibly, probably... to lack talent in cooking.
Today, Sheffield arrived at the kitchen on time, and then quickly killed a few mosquitoes with his gun. After cleaning up the scene, he completed this daily task before the substitute chefs arrived.
task.
After everything was done, Sheffield opened the door to the kitchen on time and greeted Helena, Ning Hai and Ping Hai who happened to arrive at the door.
"Gui'an, the kitchen has been cleaned up. Please contact me if you need anything."
Helena was surprised that Sheffield was always so punctual, but she felt that Sheffield was still too tense and too polite to everyone, so she advised:
"Good morning, Sheffield, um...thank you for coming to help, but actually if Susu is out, you can sleep a little longer."
Pinghai yawned and nodded, “Sleeping… is very comfortable.
Ning Hai patted Ping Hai's head gently, "Okay, cheer up, don't mistake sugar for salt like you did yesterday."
Sheffield looked at the friendly eyes of the three people and shook his head. "This is my duty as a maid. Please don't worry too much. If there is nothing else, I will go to prepare for the next matter."
Helena was a little helpless, "It's okay, um...thank you for all the time, but it really is okay to take a break once in a while."
"I've been resting for a long time." Sheffield replied in an ambiguous tone, then bowed and walked towards the dormitory.
The next thing to do is to wake up the ship girls one by one, remind them of breakfast time, and do some simple tidying up of their rooms.
For the more self-disciplined ship girls or those who get up early on weekdays, Sheffield will go to clean their rooms first, thus leaving more time for the more sleepy ship girls.
People like Kisaragi, Eldridge, Hibiki, Yubari, and Vicious all prefer to sleep or are good at staying in bed, so Sheffield will knock on the door again after a while.
This job is actually quite simple because everyone is familiar with each other and nothing difficult will happen. The only thing is that it always takes a lot of time to clean up the vicious room.
This is one of the difficult problems Sheffield needs to deal with during his day's work.
