The more they came into contact, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help but even tilt her butt to accommodate him, just to get herself out of the sea of data and the pile of desires.
New Year's Eve? Chinese New Year? In the past, she didn't even dare to think about it, but now... she seemed to be looking forward to it a little.
"I didn't know how to do it before." The Purifier scratched his nose and smiled shamelessly, "But from now on, I will know how to do it."
Chapter 601 New and Old Friends
Since the New Year is approaching, the port area, which usually features a simple style, needs to be decorated to some extent.
There is no need to make a big fuss. You just want to celebrate the festival. According to custom, adding a little red to the house will be considered as decoration.
Su Xin was ill and not feeling well. After drinking her porridge, she sent away the outspoken Purifier. Just as she was thinking of looking for Yixian to assign tasks, she was persuaded by Ning Hai who came out.
"You, just sit down. Your face has turned pale..."
"Well... actually it's okay, I just have a stuffy nose."
Su Xin spoke in a muffled voice with a heavy nasal tone, and no matter what she said, it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
Ning Hai was reluctant to let her do it, so he called his sister Ping Hai and asked her to keep an eye on the little commander. He then left the cafeteria with a worried look on his face and went to ask for the specific arrangement plan.
After a night's rest, Su Xin was actually in pretty good spirits, but she just felt a little tired.
Pinghai was extremely dedicated and stuck closely behind the young commander, as if he was determined to follow him to the ends of the earth. Su Xin couldn't help but find it funny and was helpless about his worry.
The work has been completed, and Daiho and Akagi have not yet completed their sentences. She can only read and sleep when she returns to her room, which is really boring.
The young commander thought about it and simply brought a bench from the kitchen and sat in front of the canteen door, watching everyone.
The barbarians are very busy. The lecture hall is already being renovated, and the port area is preparing for expansion and renovation. There are so many things to do, so the task of making New Year arrangements does not fall on them.
The destroyers are still laughing and playing carefree, not knowing that the days of going to school, attending classes and doing homework are very close to them.
Su Xin is very popular among children, mainly because she is willing to spend time to please them and is very tactful when giving gifts, without being unfair.
The three Mutsuki sisters who were out for a stroll saw the little conductor and naturally came to her side, sitting close to her, looking quite affectionate.
"Point to the fat official, point to the fat official, the cat backpack you gave me is very beautiful! Mu Yue likes it very much!"
"Well, that's fine if you like it."
"Mao... Mao Yue also likes it, but is it... is it really for Mao Yue? If I take the wrong one, then... it will be bad..."
"That's right. I prepared one for everyone. That bag is for Uzuki."
Ruyue opened her mouth but couldn't get a word in. The attentive little conductor noticed and asked her with a smile: "How is Ruyue doing recently? Why didn't I see Ju Gaogao today?"
"Ah...she...she seems very sleepy. Every time I try to play with her, she's sleeping..."
Su Xin touched her head. "What about little Zeppelin? If he stays at home all the time, mushrooms will grow on his body, right?"
“0◇0 Huh?!”
The three little ones were all frightened. They patted their butts, stood up, and ran towards the dormitory in a panic, probably to bother the two little adults.
Rafi, who witnessed the whole process, silently complained, "...Commander, you are lying."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Su Xin smiled and explained in a soft voice, "One of them doesn't want to move, and the other can't let go. It's good for Mu Yue and the others to make some noise occasionally."
Lafite couldn't understand it. She just loved to drink and sleep. Unfortunately, children in Chongqing were not allowed to drink alcohol. They were very energetic every day and had nothing to do with either of them, so they couldn't play together.
Su Xin chatted casually in the warm sunshine, "Where are Nimi and Javelin? Haven't you looked for them recently?"
"...Yes." Rafi held his chin in a daze, "They are preparing for class... Don't disturb them."
"Well, it's time to prepare. According to the progress of the renovation, school should be able to start after the New Year. By then, Nimi will be your teacher, okay?"
Rafi was stunned when he heard this, "...you guys?"
"Yes, you, and the javelin. Um... Xuefeng and the others also have to go to class, so they can't escape."
"Okay, just choose what you're interested in. I'll also make a guest appearance, um... teach math or Chinese?"
"...Rafi knows."
The feeling of nasal congestion is quite uncomfortable, but fortunately my throat is not red, swollen or inflamed. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, if the symptoms are too serious, it will always affect my mood.
Calculating the time, it seems that Su Xin hasn't seen Su's father and mother for some time.
She would feel very sad occasionally. In the past, she was not very emotional and would not think too much when she went out. She was used to being alone.
Now that she knows what friendship and love are, her attachment to her family is slowly revived from the bottom of her heart, driving her to call home from time to time.
As a commander, the time you can freely dispose of is actually a lot, but also a little.
Normally, there is nothing to do during the grassy season, and you can just lie around in the port, but it is not appropriate to abandon the ship girls and go away from their posts, not to mention that the times of the summer and winter activities are quite ambiguous.
Su's parents are busy with their business, so neither of them can spare the time to visit each other. They can only video call each other every now and then to keep in touch.
Compared to before, Su Xin's change is significant. Naturally, Su's father and mother are happy about the changes in their daughter.
After all, although he was well-behaved and sensible when he was young, he was a little too independent. They always felt that
Now that she can laugh and act like a spoiled child, Su's father and mother feel relieved. When they see the ship girls around their daughter, they sometimes praise them for being a good match.
Su Xin and Wu Mu talked less. The other party was as cool as ever. Taking the young commander's age into consideration, the content of their conversations was generally healthy.
A few days ago, Su Xin told the other party that she was in love. After a moment of exclamation, the message the other party sent was a little less pure.
Most of the time he was complaining, saying that he was extremely busy after taking over the Dagang District, and that he was always tossed around by Kumano.
She looks mature, but she is so petty. She is jealous for no reason. She helps with the documents during the day, and starts to deal with her at night.
Su Xin looked at the chat interface. Every word Wu Mu sent was heart-wrenching. Later, typing seemed unable to express her inner humiliation. She accused the secretary ship of shameless behavior in each voice message.
The little commander just listened to it. After all, people cannot be generalized. She doesn't think she will be like Wu Mu. Yixian and Tiancheng don't look like they are greedy for pleasure.
Su Xin always felt that this kind of thing was far away from her, until one day when she opened the voice message sent by Wu Mu and when she was about to hear the end, she suddenly heard a soft hum from the other party, and then the voice was quickly withdrawn.
Su Xin's clever little head immediately turned and she knew where the sound came from. She quickly threw the phone far away and relied on translation for all voice messages from then on and dared not play them directly anymore.
Fang Yan seems to be graduating soon. This talkative girl took Gou Zi and Shi Yu as her ship girls and became the mediator of laughter and jokes between the sisters. She coaxed and advised here and there, and her emotional intelligence improved by leaps and bounds.
As for the others... Su Xin didn't contact them much, and she guessed they had become quite distant.
The little conductor, who was sitting on the bench, was thinking about what kind of cover to use for the New Year's money this year, when he heard the voice of Befa coming softly from not far away.
"Commander, your guest has arrived."
Su Xin was puzzled and looked up, she saw the mature woman with dyed black hair behind Beifa, and the cat-eared exorcist who was standing with his hands on his hips and looking at her angrily.
"Humph~ I knew it was you! Let me make it clear first, Harman didn't want to come to see you at all. It was only because the boss insisted that I follow him that I…I reluctantly took the bus to come here!"
"...Ah, Harman, there's also an appointment...um, Boss Cheng." Su Xin stood up, very surprised, "What are you doing...?"
York City, who had long been an ordinary person, smiled and said, "We haven't seen you for a long time. Harman and I both missed you a lot. We might as well take advantage of the New Year to temporarily close the business and bring her over to visit."
"Oh, by the way, Nelson and Rodney asked me to thank you. They said that it was thanks to your ship girl that they pointed out where to go. Now they have become my employees and are living quite happily."
Su Xin shook her head, "Well...then I should thank Sister Tiancheng."
Yorktown didn't force it and smiled gently, "Are there any rooms available? We might stay here for a few days. If not, I have to book a hotel early."
"Rooms? Yes, there are. They should be enough. I happen to have nothing to do. Why don't I take you to have a look?"
Harman snorted, "That's better. I haven't even settled the matter with you for deceiving me! If you are not satisfied with the room, then I will punish you even more severely!"
Yorktown raised his hand and patted the cat girl's head. When she calmed down, he politely declined. "We are familiar with each other. You don't have to be so polite. Besides... you have other guests."
"...?"
"You should know Kaga-sensei from Tide Caller, right? We saw her when we passed by the Military Police Station, and I think it's time for us to arrive after visiting her."
The young commander felt panic for no reason.
"Kaga-sensei's two sisters...seems like they were both in jail because of me?"
Chapter 602 It Must Have Been Bismarck's Doing! (2 in 1
Kaga went to Minato last year. Su Xin and her group came back late, so she and Ayanami prepared a New Year's Eve dinner together.
This year, [Calling Tide] was closed for vacation again. Kaga, who had a teacher's dormitory, had never thought of coming here. Staying in school would at most make him bored.
She opened the door of the refrigerator at home and inexplicably thought of the little expellee she had saved, and a certain younger generation who was awkward and talkative.
"Why don't we just go...
I heard that the expressionless little girl already has Akagi in her family. So, her two elder sisters are both in the Rengang District, so it wouldn't hurt to go and see them.
"Besides, even Yubari... well, I guess Su Xin still has some good points."
After finding a good excuse for herself, Kaga, who had claimed that a weak place could not keep her, just picked up a few clothes and turned around to book a ticket.
As a teacher of [Calling the Tide], although she teaches a slightly niche subject like [Etiquette Class], her salary is not bad. At least she will not feel bad about buying a single soft sleeper ticket.
Besides, the single soft sleeper compartment has its own toilet, which can minimize the possibility of her coming into contact with other humans.
As a ship girl, Kaga actually doesn't like humans very much, because they are weak and can't even stand on the sea to help, and Jun Jun holds her back during the battle.
Although she expressed her approval of Commander Su Xiao's character, this did not mean that she was willing to succumb to humans who would break at the slightest touch. This visit was just to see the ship girls in her own camp.
The train ran for several days, stopping and starting frequently. Kaga usually didn't have much extra social interaction, so the journey was boring. It wasn't until she got off the train and smelled the fresh air that she felt a little more energetic.
The military police work in shifts all year round. I think Ayanami is still in the bureau. She went to the port area with Ayanami last year, so naturally she has to be brought along this year as well.
After a long separation, one should have brought gifts to the visit, but Kaga didn't want to do that. He walked into the door of the gendarmerie empty-handed and asked where Ayanami was.
As the New Year approaches, human disputes increase. The gendarmerie is empty due to seconded police officers, leaving only the timid Leipzig at the forefront.
Normally, she only needed to sit at the front desk for a day, but someone suddenly came to visit her. Leipzig stood up in a panic, "Hello... Hello, is there anything I can help... help with?"
Kaga glanced at her and said directly, "I'm Kaga, is Ayanami here?"
"Eh? Captain Ayanami? She...she resigned a few days ago."
"Resign?" Kaga frowned, somewhat unexpectedly. "Then where is she now? Do you know?"
"It's... it's in the port, the port area commanded by Su. I... I have to look after the house, so I can't lead you... I'm so sorry!"
The overly nervous light cruiser reminded Kaga of the timid destroyer. Her attitude softened a lot. Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, she heard the other party continue to ask her.
"Miss Kaga, are you here to visit me? If so, please register here...
"...Whose prison are you visiting?"
Leipzig glanced at the display screen and said, "Well... Miss Amagi and Miss Akagi are very close. If you want to go, you can actually visit them together..."
Kaga felt strange and simply left his name on the visiting record, then followed Leipzig through the corridor on the other side.
After pushing open the iron door at the end, she passed Leipzig and saw the two ship girls who were imprisoned face to face, as well as the two sisters standing outside the cell.
It's outrageous, she knows them all.
"Please...please note that the visiting time is only one hour. Then...then I won't bother you. Bye, bye..."
With Leipzig's departure, the prison suddenly fell silent, as if someone had pressed the mute button and the only way for them to communicate was through eye contact.
Akagi recognized Kaga, and his slightly irritated eyes suddenly lit up. He sat on the chair and raised his hand to call Kaga over.
But Kaga didn't even look at her. He first glanced at Shokaku who was smiling brightly, and then responded to Zuikaku's gentle greeting, and then walked straight to the iron bars of Amagi's cell.
She turned her back to Akagi and asked, "...Why are you here?"
Akagi was unwilling to give in and called out to her, "Kaga! Tell me quickly that I did the right thing. Only when I control it by all means can I truly own it, right?!"
"Oh, Senior, as a sister, why are you not as steady as Kaga Senior? It seems that the only advantage you have is that you are full of energy~"
Akagi's anger was easily aroused, and he immediately forgot about Kaga who was visiting him and turned around to attack Shokaku fiercely.
Kaga was enjoying the leisure time. He stood outside and looked at Amagi who was in prison but still in good shape. "Why are you here?"
Tiancheng didn't pay attention to the farce on the other side, as if she was used to it. She drank a sip of water steadily, then smiled, "Obviously, I did something wrong."
"...Because of her?"
"Hmm... not hard to guess, right?" Tiancheng deliberately misinterpreted Kaga's meaning and took out the little conductor, "But you should call her Sister Akagi."
Just as Kaga was about to speak, Akagi's voice rang out again. After listening to a few words, he found that it was nothing more than some self-righteous and paranoid remarks, which were noisy and annoying.
Tiancheng left it alone and explained what happened in a few words and then closed his eyes to rest, obviously not intending to get involved anymore.
Shokaku and Akagi were arguing vigorously, but Kaga was annoyed by it. He simply turned his head to look at Akagi and said coldly: "I thought you would be more mature."
Akagi was not convinced, "What did I do wrong? Don't you also believe in the law of the jungle? You told me that only the strong can get everything, and only by taking it for yourself can everything go as you wish."
