Su Xin was stunned when she heard this outside. How painful it must be. She quickly jumped off the bed and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Dido covered her head before she could answer, Sheffield bent down and glanced at the porcelain surface of the sink, "Yeah, everything is fine."
"...I didn't ask that!"
"Toothpaste is fine."
"Sister Sheffield!"
Dido, who was being gently rubbed on the back of her head by the little commander who came over, didn't hear anything. She just buried her head in her master's arms and laughed silently.
Su Xin thought he was shaking from the pain, and she was so scared that she became more gentle on her hands.
Yixian, who was not far away, shook his head silently, and once again lamented at his child's ability to flirt with other men. It seemed that the small goal of "taking care of oneself" in the future... seemed to be quite difficult to achieve.
"...Why did you send me off today...?"
"Well... the store outside isn't that busy anymore, and Sister Beifa can handle it all by herself, so I still have time to send you to school and then go find her."
Lafite was very happy. He walked on the road holding Su Xiao's hand. For the first time, he felt that this boring journey suddenly became a lot more interesting.
Until they arrived at the school gate
"Okay, I won't go in with you, or you'll have to fight with them for a while before you can leave."
Although Lafei felt it was a pity, she was in a good mood as long as she could take a good nap after finishing her homework and not being called out by her good friends in class.
Just as she was about to say goodbye, Su Xin added, "Oh, by the way, there will be fewer customers in the store, so I will have more time. I will make irregular inspections as I said before~"
Lafite: Z(o一o)?!
"So...you have to be careful, don't drink or sleep...don't let me catch you."
The white rabbit sighed, said goodbye reluctantly, and walked into the school. He found a place in the classroom, put his things in place, handed in his homework, and finally lay on the table in a daze.
She knew that the boring days would become exciting.
"...It would be nice if there were more customers..."
Su Xin went to the bathhouse as usual, greeted Beifa, and sat opposite, chatting with the dozen or so guests waiting.
Anyway, she will have to interact with other commanders more frequently in the future, so she might as well spend more time with unfamiliar ship girls now. Besides chatting, she can also practice her speaking skills.
After spending half a day like this, it suddenly started to drizzle on the top.
The raindrops looked very fine, fluttering in the wind like hair. It wasn't uncomfortable to be wet, but Su Xin didn't feel comfortable letting him stand in the rain and talk.
So she said hello to the manager of the flower shop, the Queen, and welcomed the dozen or so ship girls in. Some admired the flowers, some chatted, and the atmosphere remained the same.
It's just that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it doesn't look like it will stop for a while.
Su Xin thought that she might have to eat lunch at a nearby store today. After all, it would not be appropriate to ask the maid to go home in the heavy rain, or to ask anyone in the port area to send her out.
Just as she picked up her phone to check the nearby shops, a disheveled man suddenly rushed into the flower shop, scaring everyone.
Su Xin looked at the other person's hair color and felt that he looked familiar. Before she could ask, the man brushed his wet hair back and smiled brightly.
"Boss, I'm here to work!"
Chapter 661 Cultural Desert
"Ah, it's Haiqi, thank you for your hard work, but it's raining so hard...you could actually come tomorrow."
Haiqi shook her head, splashing rain all over the faces of the surrounding ship girls. She quickly refreshed her status, apologized and was forgiven before explaining to the commander.
"After I found a house, of course I had to come to work, but it hadn't rained yet that morning..."
"Well, the weather changes quickly. Why don't I see you holding an umbrella?" Su Xin asked the maid to boil some water and make some tea for everyone.
Haiqi naturally had her share. She didn't care about the burn in her mouth, and blew on it twice before pouring the hot tea into her stomach. Then she let out a long sigh of relief, "Wow... I'm alive..."
"It was because the weather was nice this morning that I didn't bring an umbrella. But it suddenly started raining on the way here. I didn't have time to hide, so I had to rush over here."
"Wait a minute, it was raining... It was an hour ago, right?" Commander Su looked at the time, "Is the house you rented so far away?"
Haiqi rubbed his face, feeling a little embarrassed. "Because all the houses nearby are rented out, it seems that most of the tenants are here to... buy equipment? I have no choice but to rent a house farther away."
"Plus, I've advanced you half a month's salary. Apart from the rent and daily necessities, I have to save some money so I don't go hungry this month..."
Su Xin was stunned. "...So you walked here? And what about the oil resources? You will be hungry if you don't drink it, right?"
"Yeah... almost. I ran here." Haiqi twisted his waist and said, "Just think of it as exercise. When traveling all over the country, physical strength is very important."
"I could have arrived in an hour, but it was raining so hard today that the signal was not so good. The navigation took me a long way around. I will definitely not be late tomorrow, tomorrow!"
"As for the oil... I've done a lot of commissions when I was traveling before, so I still have enough. It's just that it tastes too bad, so I prefer to eat your food."
Speaking of traveling, Su Xin is actually quite interested in life in Haiqi.
Ninghai and Pinghai from my family used to perform on the streets to earn money a long time ago. They are not only good at boxing and kicking, but also proficient in using knives, guns, sticks and clubs.
As for Haiqi… Commander Su Xiao thought of the flag that was used as collateral last time. “Well, Haiqi, are you a dramatist?”
"Eh? Not that great, it's just a hobby. I learned some operas and practiced some flower spears. Compared with a real opera artist, I'm still far away."
"Well... I just wanted to talk to you about this." Haizhe looked a little embarrassed, "I'm at work now, can you give me back those two flags?"
Su Xin had no intention of occupying someone else's things and not returning them, so she immediately took an umbrella and went to the other side to take back the two flags that had been placed in the wild space.
Haiqi took the flag and breathed a sigh of relief. He cleaned it carefully with a clean cloth before putting it back behind his back. "Great, now I feel relieved..."
"Ah, I don't mean to default on my debt, because they are also part of the ship's equipment and are very important to me, so..."
The young commander shook his head. "It's okay. I didn't intend to take it back at that time. It's a pity that you walked too fast and I couldn't react."
"Ahahaha... traveling, I'm used to it. But you're so nice. I've been traveling for so long, and it's rare to see a kind-hearted human like you."
Haiqi took back the flag and became more interested, so he went to Su Xin to chat, "My sister Haitian always stays at home reading books. She reads novels, gossips, and even chicken soup literature."
"I don't look much like her. Well, our looks and personalities are quite different. I think that reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles, so I packed my bags and went out to travel since the year before last."
"I have been to ancient castles in the woods, slept in underground tombs, climbed frozen mountains, sailed across surging oceans, and left my footprints in many places."
"I have also met many, many people, good, bad, pitiful, respectable, and you probably... well, you probably belong to the lovely type!"
Su Xin blushed and didn't respond. Hai Qi didn't care and just talked about the interesting things he encountered during his travels. No one was repeated, as if he had endless stories to tell.
Commander Su loved to hear about these experiences because although she had read a lot of books, she was a homebody and had little chance to see the beautiful scenery in other places.
Now that someone was willing to share, she was naturally willing to listen, until Dido gently reminded her that it was time for lunch, and the little conductor came back to her senses with a lingering feeling.
"Hmm... It's almost one o'clock now. Has Haiqi eaten yet?"
Haiqi, who had drunk several cups of tea to moisten his throat, shook his head and said, "No, I ate some leftover bread from last night and went out this morning."
"Then I'll treat you to a meal, just as an employee meal." Su Xin opened the food delivery app not very skillfully, "Sister Dido, can you help me ask them what they want to eat?"
Dido nodded, took the umbrella and went across, while Sheffield stayed by her side to watch to prevent the little master of the house from being in danger.
Haiqi was so touched that he raised his beautiful orchid finger and offered a glass of tea to Su Xiaozhi, who was in a dilemma. "Thank you, young boss. You are really generous."
“Actually, meals are provided here, and normally Sister Ye is the one who should be in charge of ordering meals. Maybe because we delivered meals recently, she forgot about it.
After Su Xin explained softly, she went to ask the guests who were still waiting what they wanted to eat, but was politely declined by the blushing ship girls.
They came here to consume, so how could they ask the boss to treat them to a meal? If they were really hungry, they would have gone out to eat long ago. The reason they are still staying in the store is naturally that they want to stay longer in the relaxing atmosphere.
Although Su Xin was rich, she didn't want to rush to show her affection after being rejected. She just turned around and continued chatting with Hai Qi.
Not long after, a short man with his head covered rushed out from the shop opposite, ran into the flower shop in three or two steps in the rain, and stopped in front of the young commander in a hurry.
"Commoner, I'm hungry!"
"Well...what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Elizabeth blinked and was about to say something when she was startled by a soft handkerchief that was suddenly stuck to her. When she found out it was someone trying to wipe her face, she became even more proud.
"Hehe... you are very sensible. I want to eat authentic royal cuisine!"
Su Xin paused while wiping the rain off the water, with a strange expression on her face. "..Royal cuisine? Why do you suddenly want to eat this?"
Elizabeth put her hands on her hips and explained to the ignorant people: "On a rainy day like this, crispy fish head pie and hot tea go really well together, okay? You really don't know how to enjoy life."
"Wow..." The little commander exclaimed, turning to ask Haiqi, "Do you know fish head pie?"
Haiqi nodded and complained quietly, "Last time I passed by the Royal Restaurant, even stray cats wouldn't eat the fish heads in the trash can..."
"Hey, what bad things are you saying behind my back?"
"No, no, I was praising your beauty." Su Xin said and secretly tugged at Hai Qi's clothes.
Haizhe also spoke up, and said in a set way, "When you stand here, you can make fishes sink to the bottom of their water, geese drop to the ground, birds startle and chirp, and flowers shame the moon and tremble with sorrow."
The little conductor whispered, "She can make fishes sink to the depths, geese fall to the ground, and the moon and flowers blush?"
Haiqi snorted and laughed, "As for The Peony Pavilion, I know it very well."
Only Elizabeth stood there puzzled with a strange look on her face after hearing all this.
"What...chicken bones, wild goose...didn't I say we were having chicken in hotpot for lunch?"
Chapter 662 Reverse Operation (2 in 1
"Wow... Ruyue Ruyue, look outside, it's raining..."
The little girl who was writing her notes was stunned. She looked at her sister, then looked at the drizzling sky outside, "Ah... um."
"Your reaction is so indifferent. The next period is obviously physical education. What if I get praised for physical education? -"
"Mu~yue~"
"Alas!"
Javelin, who was halfway through a torpedo lesson on the stage, sighed, "Don't be so loud when whispering next time, and it's 'occupied', not 'liked'."
Mutsuki's eyes widened as he defended himself, "Yeah, I meant it's awesome."
Javelin was silent for a while, then turned to look at the other students in the class, "Don't you usually laugh? Why are you suddenly so quiet today?"
"Physical Education..."
“Physical education.”
“My gym class…”
"Okay, okay, I get it. Don't repeat this again..." Javelin sighed helplessly, "There are only three classes in total. How can I possibly take up one of them?"
“Oh yeah!!”
“Wuhu!!”
The Javelin teacher smiled helplessly. As a destroyer, she naturally knew what the children liked. Therefore, the classroom teaching content was not much, and it was more like preschool education than a formal course.
The first half of the class is for class, and the second half is for chatting and interaction. As long as the basic atmosphere is controlled and it is not too noisy with people running around the room, it will be fine.
Looking at the time, it was almost the middle of the class, so Javelin rubbed his face, sat back on the chair behind the podium, and looked at his classmates with his chin propped up.
The destroyers below also understood the situation. They closed their notebooks, put away their stationery, and waited eagerly for the javelin, who had turned from a teacher to a good friend, to begin.
"Well, let's talk about PE class. You guys usually play, so why do you like PE class so much?"
When it comes to this, Mutsuki is obviously the most excited, "Because I can play with everyone, and Royal Fang Zou teacher is also very gentle and patient!"
"...The gentle and patient Royal Teacher Fang Zhou would definitely feel aggrieved if she knew that you couldn't even pronounce her name correctly." Javelin complained silently.
Mutsuki was stunned, and after muttering to himself twice, he still couldn't find out what the problem was, so he had to ask his two sisters for help.
"That's a great opportunity for Lord Yukikaze to show off our prowess. We certainly can't miss it~" The white-haired girl from Sakura Empire held her head high with great pride.
Javelin Yi Yan recalled the previous physical education classes. Hmm... when throwing sandbags, there was always someone to help block the bullets, and when playing badminton, the opponent's racket was often out of line.
When playing flying chess, Xuefeng's first two planes had completed two circles, but the other three players had never seen the number "6" on the dice.
"..It's all a result of sheer luck. It seems like it's no problem to say that I'm the only one who stands out to this extent."
As a member and teammate of Yukikaze, Xiang had a lot of hardships. Not only did she fall down during the doubles match in physical education class, but she was also the one who was given special attention during drills.
"...I always feel like she sucked all my luck away..." Xiang complained quietly to his sister.
Dian is not a child. According to what she said, she had been a social animal for a long time and now she is trapped in the game and cannot go back.
No one can be sure whether it is true or not, anyway, Dian seems to have accepted the reality, and simply started to play badly and enjoy the leisurely life in the port area.
It feels quite amazing to be sitting in the classroom and taking classes with a group of children. As for the doubts raised by Xiang, she added a refutation.
