“This is not a glorious thing…”
"But family members should talk about everything. If you don't tell me, how can I know what you are thinking? How can I understand that you are just being upset?"
Phoenix was embarrassed and annoyed by what he said. He glared at Helena in a limp manner because he was reluctant to do so. "Why didn't I realize that you are so good at talking before?"
"Because I found my sun."
Helena held Cleveland's arm and leaned against him, smiling brightly and contentedly. Phoenix, who was very jealous, glanced at Cleveland and snorted coldly.
"The sun, huh? Please warm me too?"
Cleveland blushed and coughed lightly, "I...I will try my best, sister..."
"It's too early. I haven't agreed yet. Don't think I don't know you're trying to get close to me!"
"Okay... don't disturb Susu's rest here, someone else is going to go in." Helena nodded towards the aisle and persuaded Phoenix to come out, "Let's go back and talk, Susu, have a good rest? Yixian will take care of me.
I feel relieved.”
"Yeah, I understand."
Su Xin stretched out half of her arm and waved at the three people, then immediately shrank back into the quilt, curious about who the "other person" standing at the door was.
Chapter 447 Family Affairs 2
"......morning."
Su Xin was stunned when she heard the voice, as if she didn't expect the other party to come and see her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, her face was expressionless and she didn't show any surprise, but she seemed very calm.
"It's almost noon, Spey."
"...Yeah." Spey was wearing a cotton coat and long pants, and his dressing style was a bit like a little commander. "I heard that you were sick, so I... came to see you..."
"Thank you. You don't have to stand there. You can come in and sit down."
Si Pei walked in and sat on the bunk opposite Su Xin as he was told. He put his legs together, his back straight, and looked very embarrassed. But the problem was that Su Xin had no idea what he was so nervous about.
In this situation, Su Xin knew that if she didn't say something, the other party would probably remain in this state, so the little commander tried hard to use his brain to find a topic.
"Hmm...Is Spey living with Xiao and Xiang now?"
"Well, yes, we are... more familiar with each other."
"Well...thank you for coming to see me today. Actually, my illness is not that serious. I just feel a little dizzy, and I don't have a cough or a stuffy nose. I will be fine after drinking some water."
Spey nodded seriously, "That's good..."
"..."
"..."
To be honest, as a person who likes quietness, Su Xin still felt the atmosphere of "awkwardness" spreading in the cubicle at this moment.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had not had a serious conversation with Si Pei for some time. Both of them were people of few words, and Su Xin had eye problems some time ago, which led to a certain degree of estrangement between them now.
The young commander was racking his brains to say something when Spey suddenly moved his butt, summoned out two small mechanical sharks, and gently kicked their tails with his feet.
"...They...miss you."
The two mechanical sharks twisted their bodies and jumped towards Su Xin's bed with a "click, click" sound. They were small and cute, and resembled some dogs except that they were not furry.
Facing the two bionic ship suits, Su Xin seemed to have found the feeling she had when she was studying the connection between ship suits and ship girls. She reached out and touched the shark head that was leaning on the bed, and the corners of her lips were no longer pursed because of the distressing topic.
Seeing this, Spee, who had been observing the little conductor in silence, breathed a sigh of relief and his tense waist relaxed a little. Although he was still well-behaved, he looked much more natural.
With the two little ones to adjust the atmosphere, Su Xin naturally brought up the topic that interested her, "When you don't let them out, where are they? In the ship's space?"
Spey was stunned for a moment, then after thinking carefully, he shook his head, "It's either... or... put away."
"I see... Are there any special features about them? For example... do they need to drink oil? If they are broken, do they need to be repaired by soaking in spring water?"
"Well... they are the same as the ship's equipment, I can just drink them. As for the hot springs... the effect is the same for me and them." Spee answered seriously, then took off the cotton glove on his left hand and threw it towards one of the mechanical sharks.
The little shark reacted quickly, did a backflip, opened its mouth and swallowed the glove. After landing, it opened its jagged mouth as if to ask for credit, but there was nothing inside.
"Oh~" Su Xin became interested. "So you usually take things from its mouth? Can I try it?"
Spey pursed his lips and nodded, "...Okay."
Su Xin touched the head of the other little shark, and after it opened its mouth obediently, she reached her hand gently into the hole, trying to take out the glove. After fumbling for a long time, she ended up taking out an orange.
What can be taken out from the ship's space naturally depends on the owner's wishes. Therefore, Su Xin, who got an orange, was not surprised why it was different from what she had just imagined, and started peeling it.
Spey didn't want to explain, but he remembered that the commander had asked him to talk more before, so he hesitated for a few seconds and explained: "I... um... oranges are very nutritious and delicious, so... I give them to you."
"Hmm, oranges seem to be warm fruits? Eating too much might cause internal heat."
Su Xin mentioned it casually, just wanting to talk. Seeing the other party frowning, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly handed half of it to him, "But it's okay to eat one, and it will be fine if you help me eat half."
Spey paused, pursed his lips and took it, and thanked her very seriously, which made Su Xin feel a little embarrassed, "This is a gift from you...Why are you thanking me?"
Seeing that Si Pei had no intention of explaining, Su Xin had to turn her attention to the two little ones beside the bed. When she found that they were both wagging their tails at her, she was sure that they were in a good mood.
After eating this slightly sweet orange that was neither sour nor bitter, the two of them became more familiar with each other, and the original sense of distance was reduced a lot. Su Xin no longer had to deliberately find topics to talk about, and what she wanted to say came out naturally.
"How are you getting along with everyone? It seems like quite a while has passed..."
Speaking of this, Si Pei felt as nervous as if his teacher was checking his homework. He took out his phone, turned on the screen, and handed it over.
"...can I see?"
Seeing Spee nod, the young commander leaned over to take it and found that it was a WeChat message interface. The scroll down list was full, and she had made notes on the camp name for each ship girl.
The messages basically stopped at greetings, which was predictable. After all, Si Pei was not very good at finding topics to talk to people. However, the person he was chatting with recently turned out to be vicious, which surprised Su Xin.
"Um...are you and Vicious already familiar with each other?"
Si Pei thought about it and nodded. Su Xin was quite pleased to see this and asked her, "So what do you usually talk about?"
"...She asked me to borrow a large membership."
Su Xin:?
"There is also a music membership, which sometimes reminds me to renew..."
Su Xin:???
The young commander didn't understand how things were going. "She doesn't have any... herself? I remember that her monthly allowance could last for hundreds of years..."
Spey seemed to recall it carefully, and then explained seriously: "She seemed to... use it to draw a card?"
"...all?"
"Well... it's said that full life and full essence are very expensive, and I have to pay for a part-time job to wash... the spaceship deck? So I don't have much money..."
Su Xin had no interest in these things, but having helped Chang Dao draw cards a few times, she at least knew what they meant, so she earnestly instructed: "Next time she asks you to borrow money, just say... I won't let you give it to her."
"...Why, I think...it doesn't matter, I saved all my pocket money..."
After calculating Si Pei's salary and realizing that it wouldn't make much difference whether she paid him or not, Su Xin immediately changed her words, "Well... I want to correct her spending concept, so you have to help me cooperate."
"Okay, I know."
Su Xin sighed and decided when to bring the other extreme - Ning Hai to see her. Otherwise, if this continues, the good destroyer will probably be ruined by Changdao.
"What about the others? Z23 and Little Zeppelin, how are you getting along with them?"
"Z23...very seriously, she will recommend some books to me, Little Zeppelin..." Spee looked a little discouraged, "seems not to like me."
Su Xin felt that this was probably not Spey's problem, but the negative influence of the Iron Blood camp. However, there was still a way out. After all, the two worlds had little connection, and...
"Next time you visit her, remember to bring some small cakes, um... bring more chocolate ones, and that should improve the situation."
"...good."
ps: Double update!
Chapter 448: The Story of the Tomb 3
After chatting with Spee for a while, the Iron Blood heavy cruiser, who was not very sociable, remembered that his commander was ill. So even though he was reluctant to part with this rare conversation, Spee still stood up and said goodbye.
The two little sharks were clinging to the edge of the bed and wagging their tails. After receiving Su Xin's head pat as a reward, they opened their mouths and spit out a bottle of pure milk each.
Spey, who was standing at the entrance of the compartment, nodded to the young commander, "...replenish nutrition."
Su Xin, who drank countless bottles of milk in order to grow, did not refuse. She placed the two bottles of milk on the table beside the bed, then thanked and said goodbye to Si Pei, ending the chat.
The young commander, who had spoken a lot, always felt his throat itchy. After thinking for a while, he drank some hot water to warm his stomach, and then he took a bottle of milk and drank it slowly.
Before she finished drinking, Ninghai and Pinghai, who had disappeared for a while, returned with her.
As soon as she entered the room, Su Xin saw the sisters' legs wrapped in black stockings. She glanced at Ning Hai, who had a bright expression, and thought that the two of them should be satisfied with this.
"Hmm... very suitable."
"Really? Changdao said so too." Ning Hai looked very happy. He took Ping Hai's hand and sat on the opposite bunk. Then he took off his shoes and gently swung his legs.
Su Xin is not good at complimenting people. After thinking about it, she decided not to praise them too much. She just asked casually, "Why did you take so long... Is it because you met Changdao?"
"Well, I don't know what happened to her today. Instead of lying in her room watching anime or playing games, she sat on a chair in the hallway and was in a daze... We chatted for a while after we met."
This was quite new. Su Xin wanted to ask in more detail, but she couldn't help coughing twice as soon as she opened her mouth. She drank two more sips of milk while Ning Hai's gaze changed from joy to worry.
"Yeah...it's nothing, I'm just thirsty."
"Really? If you have any new symptoms, please remember to tell us. We have cold medicine, cough syrup and other things prepared."
"Yeah, I know." Su Xin took another sip, moistened her throat, and then asked, "Besides not being in bed and not playing with his phone, is there anything else strange about Changdao?"
"Let me think about it..." Ning Hai recalled for a while, then shook his head, "No more... I think this is enough to explain the problem, but she said it was okay."
With just this little information, Commander Su couldn't come up with any conclusions. Fortunately, Ping Hai added at the critical moment: "...She has been asking her sister about your situation."
Ning Hai seemed to have remembered, "Oh, yes, she asked me if your illness was serious, why you suddenly caught a cold and had a fever, if it was because you were wearing pajamas, etc. What happened to her?"
"Maybe... I feel angry because she made me sick?" Su Xin made a simple guess, "But I'm not angry with her, um... not anymore."
"Oh, so that's what happened just now?"
Commander Su didn't say anything. At first, she was indeed a little angry and embarrassed, but after talking with Yixian, she realized that they didn't communicate enough on a daily basis, so there was no reason to be angry.
Ning Hai could naturally see what the little commander's silence meant. After thinking for a while, she moved closer and asked, "How about I pull her over?"
Su Xin thought for a while and shook her head. "Let's not do that for now. It's her fault for leading the evil and chaotic Jin... Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
"You can talk, don't be so polite." Ning Hai shook his long legs, "We got paid in advance, um... suddenly wearing both legs, I always feel a little uncomfortable."
Ping Hai also nodded, "Sister is right, but it is very comfortable, so Ping Hai will help."
"Well...it's not a big deal. I just heard that Evil spends all her salary on games...so I want to see if you can help her correct her spending concept?"
"Games?!" Ning Hai, who had barely been able to eat in the past, widened his eyes, "All?!"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Su Xin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said a few good words for Evil, "Actually... it's not a big problem. The family can afford it. She usually stays at home very well..."
"I don't allow it!"
After Ning Hai finished speaking, she swung her legs and bounced up from the edge of the bed, and ended up hitting her head against the bottom of the middle bunk. However, she seemed to be completely unaware of it, and quickly put on her shoes and prepared to go out.
“This concept is not advisable! We should plan and use every penny well. This is the best respect for them!!”
"...Ah, sister, wait Ping Hai!"
"..."
Su Xin was silent for a while, drank up the little remaining milk, and sincerely hoped that her actions would not cause too much trouble to Evil.
After praying silently, she stopped worrying about it and took out her phone to see that it was almost noon. Su Xin didn't expect that after such a long time, she really didn't have much time to rest. Instead, her throat began to itch.
"...Did I really talk too much?"
Commander Su pursed her lips and decided to stay quietly. She hoped that Yixian, who had delivered the clothes, would come back and tell her that maybe her throat would be better. Unfortunately, bedridden Su Xin finally welcomed the third wave of visitors of the day.
"Commander-in-Chief 99
Su Xin, leaning against the head of the bed, sniffed, pressed down the quilt that was not covering her tightly, and then pulled out a piece of paper, and got the answer to the identity of the visitor.
"Portland...sister."
"Ah... I feel like the Commander is being called 'sister' rather reluctantly!"
After seeing how Portland transformed into Spider-Man just to steal a rag doll, and how he was eventually caught and had to go on bail himself out, Su Xin found it really hard to regard this ship girl who was a few centimeters taller than her as her sister.
But of course she would not say this openly, what if the other party really attaches great importance to the title? Therefore, Commander Su shook his head tactfully, cleared his throat and asked Portland's purpose of coming.
