After listening to this, Zeppelin no longer cared to feel the presence of the little conductor. After taking two steps back, he looked up at the little conductor Su's facial features with some discomfort and found that his eyes did seem strange.
Su Xin closed her eyes, her expression showing hatred towards Ning He, but her eyelids did not curve outwards. Instead, they were slightly sunken inwards, which looked weird and uncoordinated.
"It's okay." Su Xin reached out and gently poked her eyelids. "It will be fine after repairing it, but it will take a little longer."
Zeppelin didn't dare to touch it, and could only stand there with his fists clenched and watched, "You... you lost the right to observe the world because of me?"
"Yes, yes, it's the best if you know." The Purifier rolled his eyes quietly, then turned to the commander and advised: "Stay here for a few days. If it doesn't work, just lie in the incubator for a day and you'll be fine."
"Well... no." Commander Su was still poking her eyelids gently, her expression very calm, as if she didn't care at all. "I've been away for a while, and I haven't replied to the sisters. I can't lose contact again."
"Although I might get scolded if I go back, but... I still want to go back. I think Xiao... um... Zeppelin does too. After all, Ping Hai and the others are still waiting for you in the port area."
"...Just call me Little Zeppelin." Little Zeppelin paused, "I... can't wait to return to them and experience a world that is completely different from over there, but your situation is more urgent, so I-"
"Since you want to go back, there's no problem. Let's go back." Su Xin paused, as if stunned for a moment, then moved her fingertips down to the corner of her lips and raised them slightly, "Well... I'm smiling?"
Although the plot is very warm, the Purifier looks so desolate no matter how you look at it, especially with the slightly awkward expression on the young Zeppelin's tender face, as if the big paralyzed one is teaching the little paralyzed one how to maintain the paralyzed state, which is really annoying.
Tears fell.
The Purifier was also really tired. She was urged by the commander to work overtime, and was forced to give a gift by the other party. Now she also had to worry about Su Xin's health, so her mood was extremely complicated.
"Okay, okay, if you want to go back, go ahead. I won't stop you." The Purifier waved his hand impatiently, "I hope you can think about what I told you before.
"I won't ask about the things you've hidden. It's up to you to lose your expression and become expressionless, or lose your emotions and become wooden. Just go back to your home. Go, go, go, go quickly."
Commander Su was caught off guard when she heard this. She held the silent little Zeppelin with a little embarrassment. She paused for a long time before asking in a low voice:
"...Are you angry?"
The Purifier turned on the transporter and replied coldly, "No."
Commander Su stood there for a while before muttering "OK" silently. He then let little Zeppelin lead him into the already activated transmission device.
The Purifier had a wooden expression on his face until the two figures completely disappeared and the transporter was shut down, then his expression gradually relaxed.
"... idiot." She muttered softly, "If you say a few more words, I will calm down soon..."
"...It's good to be idle for a while, so you don't have to worry about this and that all day long."
"Since you've hurt yourself like this, it's time for your ship girls to worry about you for a while."
"..."
"...and you didn't even invite me to play for two days."
"Stinky girl!"
"Are we there yet?"
"...Um."
Commander Su breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and lowered his head, concentrating on listening to the sounds around him. He found that except for the slight sound of wind blowing through the leaves, the port was unusually quiet.
"...No one's here?"
Little Zeppelin looked at the group of ship girls standing still not far ahead. In the end, he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to choose to remain silent.
Commander Su misunderstood what he meant and felt relieved. "Can you take me to find a pair of sunglasses first? Ming Miao should be in the equipment store at this time, right? Just pick me a pair. Um... remember to pay for it."
Little Zeppelin paused and didn't dare to move. Although she had matured a lot and her personality had changed a little, she still couldn't act calmly when facing the ship girls she used to live with day and night.
Su Xin felt the hand in her palm without any movement, and was a little confused, so she tilted her head and asked softly: "...What's wrong? Is it because I don't know the way for too long or something? I remember it should be on the right..."
"...My Lord."
Upon hearing this, Commander Su's body stiffened and he shivered unconsciously before he remembered to reply.
"Sister Tiancheng? Why are you here..."
Amagi didn't say anything, just looked at Su Xin with a serious expression. The ship girls beside him were also silent, like a row of sculptures, making the atmosphere somewhat depressing.
"...Sister Tiancheng, you..." Commander Su Xiao listened quietly for a while, "You are all here..."
"I'm really sorry for leaving without saying goodbye... But I didn't have time to tell you at that time, and I couldn't contact you after I was taken away..."
"I didn't mean to make you worry, really, but I have things I have to do..."
"Oh, by the way, did I bring little Zeppelin back? This way, our big family has one more member, which is a cause for celebration!"
"..."
The young commander was suddenly ignored and didn't know what to say. Just as she was trying to muster up the courage to continue apologizing, Tiancheng sighed and gave up first.
"...Susu, we are still angry. You have to think about what to do."
"but……"
"Welcome home, Susu."
. I’m sorry for posting so late. Starting today, I will update twice a week (approximately) and strive for full attendance. I will make up for the chapters I owe during the days I was away. Good night!
Chapter 374 The Days of Blindness 1
Although the ship girls said they were still angry, they still showed the necessary care and concern. After all, they were the ones they loved most in their hearts, so how could they just ignore them?
In addition, they actually knew very well what kind of person their little commander was, so most of the ship girls had already anticipated Su Xin's actions.
It was just that he lost his eyes while going out to pick someone up. The ship girls really didn't expect this kind of development. They were planning to be angry for a while, but in the blink of an eye, they were frightened by the tragic situation described by the little commander and their faces turned pale.
"What, what, what, what, what's going on?" Ming Miao, who was not as tall as Tian Cheng, wanted to go back to the store, but he froze after hearing the commander's summary. "What does 'no, no, no, no' mean, meow!?"
"Hmm?" Commander Su looked quite calm. He thought that since he had been caught, he might as well stop hiding it. So he raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and pursed his lips, "It just... disappeared."
Upon hearing this, the ship girls hurried forward, leaning out with frowns on their faces, surrounding the little commander with a slightly warm atmosphere. The slightly chaotic questioning also made Su Xin feel a little flustered.
"Eyes? Susu, open your eyes so I can see what's going on."
"Something seems to be wrong... Why is it so serious?"
"Can damage control be used? Let me try... but it doesn't work!"
"We can't go to the hospital, and the repair pool is not effective. How about...how about finding a purifier?"
“#*!@…”
Commander Su Xiao, who had lost her eyes, was already uneasy, and after hearing everyone's commotion, she became even more panicked. However, she had no ability to "express emotions" and could not make a nervous expression, so she could only stand there.
On the contrary, the worried ship girls were gradually calmed down by seeing Su Xin's calm and composed appearance. They just surrounded the little commander, waiting for her explanation.
"Well...can we go back first?" Commander Su tightened his clothes. "And little Zeppelin is back too. He's a little different...so I think we should get to know each other again."
The ship girls then realized that the little Zeppelin who was standing silently beside them had also returned to the port with the little commander.
In fact, when it comes to Led Zeppelin, everyone has somewhat complicated feelings.
Although they did get along very happily before, after all, the little conductor's sudden departure and return blind were all related to little Zeppelin. It was impossible for her not to vent her anger on him.
But they also understood that little Zeppelin had done nothing wrong. She was one of the victims, but her commander was too fond of "drawing a sword to help".
The group was silent for a few moments before Tiancheng finally made the decision.
"...Okay, let's go back to the room."
Su Xin sat cross-legged on her bed. The soft mattress and warm quilt under her butt made her feel a little dazed, but the many gazes she could feel even though she couldn't see brought her back to her senses.
After reaching out and touching Ruyue, who was too timid to come forward, the little conductor held the hand of the child who kept dropping beads and whispered a general description of his situation.
"I just can't see for a while, it's not serious, I can use my own 'little wrench' to treat it for a while, don't worry too much."
"Well... the more troublesome thing is something else. I can't seem to make any expressions."
After saying this, Su Xin paused for a moment without knowing what was going on. Then, amid everyone's solemn expressions, she said, "Well... I can't laugh."
"That's basically the situation, but it's not all bad." Su Xin said as she summoned the short sword. "At least I can activate my abilities freely now, and I don't have to worry about being exposed anymore."
"...This is not good news." Phoenix whispered, "The good news is that you are safe..."
"Sister!" Helena frowned and said angrily, but was comforted by Cleveland again.
Commander Su didn't care much. She felt that the problem was not serious and the eyes could be cured. She didn't have much expression before, and the most important thing now was that little Zeppelin was back.
“I went there this time to pick up Zeppelin, um…something unexpected happened on the way, so I ended up like this, but fortunately my goal was achieved.
"Zeppelin... um... went through a lot over there, so there have been some changes, but I still hope that everyone can get along just as well as before."
The ship girls were silent for a while after hearing this, then they sighed and nodded towards little Zeppelin, indicating that they were willing to accept her for the time being.
Only after everything was explained did Su Xin finally relax. She carefully wiped Ruyue's tears with her sleeve, then handed her over to the gentle Yixian to help coax her, while she herself fell back on the bed as if exhausted.
"...Ugh, so tired..."
The bed beneath her was so warm and comfortable that Su Xin's tense nerves relaxed at once. In an instant she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
The ship girls who were talking in low voices stopped talking, looked at each other, opened the door and walked out quietly, and the last one, Little Zeppelin, closed the door.
The little conductor needs to rest now, but they still have a lot of questions to ask and need to get them clearly from little Zeppelin.
"Um…"
In the simple and warm bed, the black-haired girl stretched gently, but was shocked by the cold air and retracted her hand. She only dared to stick her head out and yawn slightly.
The curved and upward eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly about to spread its wings and dance, but suddenly stopped at the last moment and held the movement tightly.
"...I almost forgot."
Commander Su pursed his lips, kept his eyes closed, and tried hard to restrain his habitual movements and not think about opening his eyes.
Although she had never seen anyone without an eyeball, she could probably imagine that her hollow appearance might scare others, so it was better for her not to open her eyes (Note 1).
The slightly warm sunlight seemed to fall on her body. Su Xin could feel the slight warmth on the back of her hand, but she could not see anything, including light or shadow.
Originally, he only wanted to bring Zeppelin back and go home together, but he didn't pay much attention to the changes in himself. Now that everything is over, Commander Su suddenly has spare energy and has to face his present self.
"...How strange."
Commander Su Xiao reached out to touch his eye sockets, but paused in mid-air and finally landed on his delicate nose.
"...Sometimes I feel like it's still there, and sometimes I feel like it's really gone..."
"...So, is this how Sister Amagi felt at that time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiancheng's slightly helpless voice rang out in the room: "...I'm not as serious as you."
"...Huh?"
"What..." Tiancheng's shoes scraped against the carpet, making a slight sound, "Are you surprised?"
The slightly cool fingertips touched the expressionless face of Commander Su, and the scent of Tiancheng came to his face, making the young commander feel a lot more at ease.
"A fox repaying a favor... should be common, right?"
ps: Note 1: I don’t mean to discriminate or imply anything to anyone. The description and plot are just for writing a book. The desire to survive makes me too cautious. I haven’t written for a long time and I’m stuck for a while. There is still one chapter tonight. I’m coding!
Chapter 375 The Days of Blindness 2
"...What are you withdrawing from?"
"Hmm..." Commander Su shrank back, moved his little butt and lay down in the quilt again, then answered with his eyes closed, "...too close."
Tiancheng found it a little funny. They had done more intimate things before (referring to kissing, I don’t think you guys are thinking wrong), and now they were just getting closer, but why did the little commander look a little uncomfortable?
After not seeing each other for a few days, Commander Su's attitude towards her seemed to have suddenly returned to an earlier time. His thin-skinned, expressionless and silly look made Tiancheng feel quite fresh.
Unfortunately, the most urgent task is not to amuse Su Xin. She needs to help the little commander calm down and adapt to this inconvenient life first. This is why the ship girls are willing to let her come first.
"Well...but it should be okay for me to charge some interest, right?"
Thinking of this, Tiancheng no longer suppressed his desire to get close to her. He leaned forward on the mattress, but he didn't expect Su Xiaozhi to shrink into the quilt.
Tian Cheng had no choice but to reach out and pat the small bulge under the quilt, "What's wrong? Aren't you stuffy in there?"
"...You come over and I'll come out later."
"Why do you want to keep your distance all of a sudden?" Tiancheng pondered for a moment, "Well... because you haven't washed up this morning?"
"No." The little commander's words sounded inexplicably soft and cute, "...I forgot about it last night..."
Tiancheng laughed, reached into the quilt, took out the little commander who was startled by the cold, put him carefully on the edge of the bed, and helped Su Xin, who refused to speak, to tidy up her hair.
"Okay." Tiancheng touched Su Xin's drooping head, "Go wash up first, we'll go have breakfast later."
Commander Su nodded, got out of bed, and walked forward step by step according to the layout of the rooms he remembered.
