Pinghai, who was standing behind Ninghai, nodded obediently, "Sister made it, it's delicious.
Su Xin felt the warmth in the quilt and rubbed the pillow comfortably. Then she turned over and got up, leaning against the headboard to cover herself again. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, reached out to take the bowl and said thank you again.
Kisaragi wrung the towel for a long time. As a ship girl, she was certainly strong enough, but her hands were small. Faced with a long thick velvet towel, she had to twist it in sections to wring it dry. As a result, the other end was cold after she finished wringing one end.
Pinghai couldn't bear to watch it, so he helped her change the water, and then they each took one end and wrung the towel dry. Unfortunately, Su Xin was sipping porridge at the moment, so she couldn't put a hot towel on her forehead.
The porridge tasted very good. Even though Su Xin was not a fan of it, she had to admit that Ning Hai's cooking skills were indeed very good. The small bowl of vegetable porridge was quickly finished.
"Well... do you want more?" Ning Hai took the empty bowl, and when he saw the little commander shook his head, he put away the dishes and washed them together later. "Lie down for a while? Now... well, there are still two hours before lunch."
Su Xin, who had a headache, did not refuse. She moved her butt down and huddled back into Yixian's bed.
"...Where are Sister Yixian and the others?"
Ning Hai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and seemed to be trying to find words, "Em mm...did you go to find Tiancheng? He seemed quite angry..."
Su Xin was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Just... what happened last night?" Ning Hai seemed to be struggling whether to bring it up or not. "Well... we just wanted to joke with you, but we didn't expect you to care so much. I'm sorry..."
Su Xin was feeling drowsy and didn't have the energy to care. It was hard to say who was right or wrong in this matter. However, she was too thin-skinned, so there was no need to care too much.
"So...did Rafi go too?"
"She went there. She went with Sister Yixian, I think."
"Oh..." The little commander lay listlessly on the bed, and was chilled by the towel that Ruyue covered his forehead with. "Um, well...thank you Ruyue."
"It's okay... I mean... Commander, I hope you get better soon."
Su Xin paused, a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect it to be so sudden... I haven't been sick for a long time."
Pinghai looked at Su Xin's pale face carefully after hearing that, then he bent down and rolled up the stockings on his left leg, took off his shoes, stepped on the edge of the bed and continued to take them off.
Ning Hai was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have forgotten that she had taught Ping Hai this. Why did she start taking off her stockings in public? Fortunately, they rarely wear cheongsams now, otherwise they would definitely be exposed.
Su Xin turned her head quickly, and Ning Hai hurriedly held her back, "Ping Hai, what are you doing?"
"...Lend this to the commander."
"She...she has her own pants. She doesn't need you to borrow them. Put them back on!"
Pinghai said "Oh" and silently rolled up the stockings along her legs.
Su Xin also felt quite embarrassed and coughed lightly to change the subject, "Well... Pinghai, did you lend your other pair of stockings to anyone else? Why don't you ever wear them?"
"... on my sister's legs." Ping Hai rolled up his stockings and put on his shoes and stood back. "My sister said not to spend money on these meaningless things."
Su Xin thought that the salary and pocket money she gave to the ship girls every month were not low, so why were the two of them still at the stage of sharing socks to wear? It even sounded like they didn't even have many pairs of stockings to change into.
"Uh... I just think there's no need to buy so many of these consumables..." Ning Hai muttered uncomfortably, "They're not as strong as the ship's armor... If you accidentally hook them, they'll break..."
Su Xin seldom wears this, so she really doesn't know how many times ordinary stockings can be used, but she does have a lot of unused stock.
So Su Xin said in a soft voice in the warm bed: "I still have a lot... um, brand new ones. Fang Yan gave me a box last time. I can't use them anyway... You guys can use them?"
"Ah, how can I be so embarrassed..." Ning Hai pretended to be shy and asked in a few seconds: "How much is it? Will the material be expensive? It shouldn't be a problem if I use a washing machine, right?"
The young commander had no idea about this and just shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. However, this did not affect Ning Hai's good mood. She even wanted to serve another bowl of porridge to the young commander Su.
The Donghuang sisters, who were tired of being poor, were naturally very happy about this sudden gift, just like a squirrel that suddenly had two extra nuts in its tree hole. The overall impact was not significant, but it made them happy.
Ruyue, who had nothing to do after wringing the towel, was suddenly pushed away by Ning Hai, who was in a grateful mood. She could only take off her shoes, climb onto the opposite bunk, and lean on Eldridge, who was pecking at rice like a chicken.
Eldridge, who was extremely sleepy, was woken up immediately by this leaning. He drowsily sniffed the aroma in his arms that was not tightly covered, and then took a bite with a large spoon.
"...tasty."
"Ah, Ju Gaogao, you're cheating... Ruyue wants it too, ah..."
Chapter 441 Fever Days 3
The vegetable porridge is delicious, but the taste is definitely lighter than usual. After all, it is made for Su Xin who is not feeling well, so easy digestion is the first thing to consider.
Of course, the children would not like this very much. In comparison, they would rather eat salty and spicy snacks, or fragrant and soft desserts. Therefore, after just a few bites, Ruyue and Eldridge covered the pot again.
Ning Hai, who worked in the hospital, received the gift and wanted to repay the favor, but there were only a few things he could do when taking care of a patient. After preparing the hot water towel and checking the temperature of the hot water bottle, Ning Hai stood there in a daze.
For Su Xin, who loves cleanliness, wiping sweat is very important, but you can't let her find a chance to wipe the little commander's body, right?
It would be better to wait until the fever subsides before mentioning this matter. Just considering the depressed look on Yixian and Lafite's faces when they went out, Ning Hai instantly gave up the idea.
"..Why don't you let the commander do it himself? What if he happens to come in and misunderstands? Sister Yixian will definitely glare at me!"
It was true that Su Xin was a little confused, but having caught up on a short nap she wasn't very sleepy yet. Seeing Ning Hai standing there stupidly with a troubled look on his face, she thought that he had been delayed by something.
"Ning Hai, it's nothing to do with me, you should take a rest..."
"Eh? Ah... I'm fine. Sister Yixian asked me to take good care of you. You can tell me if you're thirsty or hungry. We prepared a lot of things before we left, and it's very convenient to have Eldridge heat them up."
Hearing this, Su Xin tilted her head and glanced at Eldridge, who was holding the rice cooker across from her with a well-behaved look on his face. She thought the scene was a little funny, but she had a facial paralysis and couldn't laugh. She could only hum twice to express that she was in a good mood.
Ruyue, who had lost interest in the porridge, was whispering to Eldridge and accidentally glanced at Pinghai's thigh. She seemed to be stunned for a moment, "Pinghai...you...your socks are torn..."
Ping Hai seemed to be used to it, and was not surprised at all. He just wanted to turn around to see where the hole was. "...Where is it?"
Ruyue blushed and said: "Under the buttocks..."
So Pinghai had to take off his socks again. Ninghai originally wanted her sister to pay attention to her image and go to the bathroom, but she didn't expect Su Xin to speak before her.
"Is it a good time to change your socks?" The little commander cast his eyes on Ning Hai politely, "Sister Sheffield should... um... definitely have brought them, so just go get them from her."
"Well... how about I pay a little? It's a bit embarrassing..."
Su Xin turned over and lay on her side. She moved her legs and gently kicked Ning Hai, who was standing beside the bed, through the quilt. "What are you talking about... Go quickly, I'm fine."
Ning Hai touched her itchy thigh, glanced at Ping Hai who rolled up her stockings, and nodded, "Okay, let's go out and find her, Commander, if you need anything, just call us, we'll be back soon.
"Just call me Susu... Go quickly."
After Ning Hai pulled Ping Hai out, the young commander looked at the two destroyers who were sitting obediently on the opposite bunk and whispering to each other. It was mainly Ruyue who was talking, while Eldridge was only responsible for listening and nodding.
Feeling Su Xin's gaze, Ruyue paused and closed her mouth silently, as if she was afraid of disturbing her commander's rest.
Su Xin could see Ruyue was reserved, but she didn't think the child was noisy, so she took the initiative to chat: "Ruyue, don't you usually have a good time with Qi... um... little Qi Peilin? Why don't I see her today...?"
The soft, slightly nasal voice eased Ruyue's anxiety and uneasiness, "She...she said there were too many people and she won't come to see you..."
After saying that, Ru Yue felt something was wrong, and hurriedly added carefully: "Little Zeppelin is also...very worried about the commander, but...just...just shy, commander, don't be angry, okay?"
"Shy?" Su Xin smiled silently in her heart, "No, then is she alone in the cubicle now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the young conductor felt a slight vibration behind her, which was different from the movement of the train. At the same time, there was a very slight knocking sound. She thought about it and understood what he meant.
"Sister Sheffield should be here soon. Why don't you go back and keep her company? Little Zeppelin might be scared if he's alone there."
"Ah... then... what should we do, Commander..."
"Me? I'm much braver than her." Su Xin said nonsense with no expression, "Because I'm older than her, I can take care of myself, and I feel a little sleepy after drinking the porridge..."
Ruyue asked hesitantly: "Then...then should we...go back first?"
"Well, go ahead. You have to help her integrate into the group, okay?"
After receiving the commander's support and encouragement, Ruyue was immediately filled with strength, "Ru... Ruyue will work hard!"
The two little ones also left, and Su Xiao was the only one left in the cubicle. However, she did not close her eyes and sleep as she said. Instead, she adjusted her sleeping position and cast her eyes on the cubicle entrance.
Sure enough, less than two minutes after Ruyue and Eldridge left, a small figure appeared at the entrance of the cubicle, and a childish voice was heard.
"...You are older than me?"
"Well, I'm almost eighteen."
The iron-blooded little aircraft carrier with white hair and red eyes walked in, tiptoed a little before successfully pressing her buttocks on the edge of the bed and sat on the bed. "How dare you say this when you come to me as soon as it gets dark."
The little conductor's attitude was very casual. After all, they had been together for several years. Although he occasionally suffered from his second year disease, the symptoms were obviously much lighter under her influence.
According to the original game character design, this should be an abominable monster with complicated lines about the destruction of the world and the coming of the end, but now it is obviously more like a young child who likes to make trouble and pretend to be mature.
Past experiences still make her dislike Tiexue very much, but at least her personality has changed a lot, and her willingness to patiently play with Ruyue is one of the manifestations.
"How are you adjusting? I haven't seen you looking for me for a long time, but we should be considered...friends of life and death?"
Little Zeppelin paused and said, "I just don't want to interfere too much. I am an outsider, whether it is to this world... or to your life."
As soon as Su Xin heard it, she knew that this person must be thinking about something nonsense again. He was better over there and would tell her everything, but here he became a silent person.
"...You were very cute when you were little."
Little Zeppelin looked at her coldly, and Su Xin looked back unwillingly. Anyway, she had no expression on her face now, and she didn't feel guilty at all. She always looked righteous.
As expected, little Zeppelin was defeated, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then asked in a baby voice: "So what you mean is... I can be a part of this place and interfere with your life with my own ideas?
"Of course." The little commander answered immediately, "You are already a member of our family. You can do whatever you want, but... it's best not to fight. You know, family harmony is everything—"
When Xiao Qibailin heard this, he stood up and interrupted Su Xin who was looking through her memory to piece together the lines of the TV series. He could only change the topic and ask, "What are you going to do?"
The little aircraft carrier glanced at her and walked out.
"Go find trouble with the fox."
Chapter 442 Fever Days 4
This morning is not as lively as usual. It is already past nine o'clock and the energetic children have slept all day, so it is time for them to get up and move around.
However, in reality, it seemed very quiet outside the compartment, with no laughter or noise. Occasionally, one could hear someone talking, vaguely and not quite clearly. The sound of the train was as regular as usual.
Tiancheng woke up very early in the morning, or rather...she didn't sleep much last night.
On the one hand, the ship girl has good energy and less sleep. Another influence may be the sweetness she tasted last night, which made her so happy that she kept savoring it for a long time.
Sometimes Tiancheng would wonder if he had gone too far. How could he be so controlled by a girl who was only half a year old and barely an adult?
It stands to reason that it is easiest to fool someone like Commander Su Xiao who knows nothing. Naturally, it is she, Tiancheng, who should be in control of all matters.
But every time she managed to get the benefits, she would become obsessed with them as if she was bewitched, which made her wonder who was the fox.
"Could this be...scarcity makes things valuable?" Tiancheng leaned lazily on the table and smiled silently, "I have to come up with different reasons every time to trick her over...I have to be happy for a while."
"I guess Susu has been ignoring me for a few days. Um... are you waiting for your face to cool down?"
"Next time...what method should I use?"
Tiancheng sighed softly, raised his hand and touched his neck, stroking the skin on the lower right side where the skin was a little broken, and the bright red color stood out against the whiteness.
This was a counterattack from a kitten last night. It couldn't even break her skin, but Tiancheng intended to let the other party leave something on his body, so the kitten's teeth broke her shell.
"Good news."
Tiancheng felt very satisfied with the intimate interaction between the two of them. He touched the scabby red mark with his index finger and scratched it, which felt a little itchy.
"Tama."
Tiancheng thought he had taken advantage of the little commander, so he would spend the next two days alone quietly. Unexpectedly, an unexpected visitor suddenly came to the compartment.
"...I think we need to talk."
"Well." Tiancheng sat up straight, lowered his hands from his neck, and smiled at the guest, "It seems that we have talked about this many times, but... please sit down, Yixian."
Yixian walked in with confidence and sat down on the opposite bunk in Tiancheng with the table between them. Facing the fox from the Sakura Empire, she did not intend to use any patience-wasting conversation methods and went straight to the point.
“I still think that your method towards Su Su… is a bit too much.
"Hmm? Did Susu ask you to tell me this?" Tiancheng held his chin up and said indifferently, "Why are you the one telling me this? I remember... we are competitors, right?"
In fact, Yixian also found it difficult. She personally preferred a relationship where love grew over time, so she didn't quite agree with Tiancheng's behavior, but she really had no right to say this.
Tiancheng on the other side was not stupid, so how could he be easily fooled by her? This trip was destined to be a fruitless conversation, but Yixian had to come. If he showed no attitude, it would be even more difficult to deal with him in the future.
only……
Yixian looked at the neck of the fox opposite him. The bright red mark was obviously just a small wound, but the other party took it as a signature and had no intention of covering it up.
"Hmm." Yixian heard Tiancheng chuckle, "This is the punishment for asking for benefits. It hurts. Yixian, you... shouldn't try it, right?"
Yixian sighed secretly. Sometimes she felt a lot of pressure facing Tiancheng, but sometimes, seeing the other party's complacent look, it was difficult for her to feel nervous.
Fortunately, Tiancheng was not that childish. After showing off casually, he changed the subject. The two chatted for a while, and Yixian got up to say goodbye, ending the useless conversation for who knows what number of times.
Tiancheng was still in a good mood, and she assured that she was not so happy just because she was showing off her bite marks in front of her rival.
Well, a little bit actually.
