A short skirt, bare legs, and a shawl that has little ability to keep out the cold. The cold wind blows and the shawl rustles like a small cape.
It was Cleveland's turn to be on duty today. He was supposed to go with Helena, but now that Helena was out, Cleveland had to go alone.
In fact, Su Xin did suggest that Hood or Laffite go together, but Cleveland felt that it was unnecessary. It was okay to do it by themselves, so as to save multiple people running back and forth in the middle of winter.
Su Xin evaluated Dad Ke's current combat capability and thought it would be foolproof to deal with some scattered Sirens, so she agreed.
The main reason is that Su Xin is not very busy right now. Eldridge is much clingier than expected. Normally, Su Xin would go there in person and discuss the shift change with other ship girls. After all, the dormitory is not far away.
But it was difficult to move with a small weight, so Cleveland could only discuss it himself. Cleveland felt that he could do it and there was no need to cause trouble for others.
Watching his little commander being thrown onto the sofa by Eldridge, his hair became fluffy due to static electricity, looking lazy and cute.
Lafite hasn't woken up yet, otherwise he should be here now. After all, Lafite often stays with Su Xin. Now the white hair has been replaced by golden hair, and he is not quite used to it.
Cleveland said hello and left. In winter, the frequency of Sirens' activities actually decreased a lot, and it didn't seem like they needed to hibernate. However, the reduction in the number of Sirens' invasions was a good thing, as it reduced the workload of the ship girls.
A lot less.
It was very cold at sea, mainly because of the strong wind, which took away the heat very quickly. Cleveland's shawl was kept straight almost the entire time due to the continuous wind.
Cleveland thought aimlessly as he moved.
"Ah... the temperature has dropped again."
"It looks like it's going to snow soon..."
"Although the possibility of the ship girl getting sick is small, it is not impossible..."
"Should I put on some more clothes when I get home..."
"Ah... buy a scarf?"
"Hmm... maybe you need a pair of pants too?"
"..."
"Ha..." Cleveland stopped and exhaled a puff of white mist.
"Helena...hasn't come back yet..."
On the returning merchant ship.
"Helena!"
"Hmm? Sister, have you figured out how to ask me this time?"
“I I I…I…”
"Take your time, don't rush."
"I...I think it might snow soon, Helena, you should put on more clothes..."
Helena smiled helplessly, "Sister, you are almost the same as me." After saying that, she took out two coats, handed one to her sister, and only let her leave after seeing that her sister had put it on properly.
Phoenix failed to ask for the nth time, ran away humming for the nth time, and stood in the corner for the nth time, making the n+1th resolution while preventing inexplicable people from approaching his sister.
Helena waved towards Portland who was patrolling on the distant sea, indicating that they were invincible and there was no need to come back. She exhaled gently and the white mist spread forward and disappeared.
"It's going to snow..."
"Did Cleveland remember to wear more clothes..."
After the sea patrol, Cleveland returned just in time to arrive at the restaurant, where a large group of people were sitting around a round table thinking about what to eat.
Lately, I feel like all the takeout places are the same, either maocai malatang or noodle bowls with rice. There are small hotpots but everyone thinks they are no different from malatang, so they are crossed out.
Cleveland didn't participate much in the discussion. For some reason, he always felt that he was not motivated.
"Looks like I have to go play basketball this afternoon." Cleveland was lost in thought.
"Sister Cleveland, Sister Cleveland?"
"Ah...ah?" Cleveland came back to her senses and found that it was Su Xin who was calling her, "What's wrong, Commander?"
"Well... can we have spicy hot pot for lunch?" Although Su Xin wanted to eat spicy food, she still asked for everyone's opinion. Although they could order separately, the rich woman Su Xin still maintained the good habit of thriftiness (not willing to spend money on the soup).
delivery fee).
"Uh, of course. I'm not picky."
Su Xin stared at Cleveland. Cleveland began to feel uncomfortable for some unknown reason. "What...what happened?"
Su Xin shook her head. "It seems that Sister Cleveland is not in good spirits. She should wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."
"I see." Cleveland touched the back of her head. She felt a little embarrassed by the little sister's concern, but she suddenly had a question.
"Commander, why don't you call me Daddy?"
Among the people who were looking at the set meal, Changdao popped up and asked, "What's the matter? Are you not used to not calling me dad?"
Cleveland was extremely embarrassed. His face turned red in the air-conditioned room, and hesitantly denied it.
"No...nothing, I just got curious all of a sudden."
Su Xin thought for a moment and said, "Because Sister Helena is not here."
Cleveland paused, blushing again as he snickered, and had no choice but to grab his phone and scroll through the messages.
Cleveland went to play basketball in the afternoon. He felt much more energetic after exercising for a while. He even sweated after playing for a long time. Cleveland was very happy and turned around and said, "Helena, pass me the water..."
There was no one behind him, no towels and drinks that had been prepared, and no pretty girl with smooth blue hair.
"....
"When will you be back..."
"Should I give you a call and ask..."
"Hmm..." Cleveland glanced at the time on his phone, "It's half past four... Will it disturb her from performing her mission?"
“…Forget it, let’s not bother her.
Cleveland put away his phone and turned to walk towards the dormitory building. He was sweating and needed to take a shower. The cold wind blew and Cleveland shivered.
"Hiss... It's so cold."
After taking a shower, Cleveland didn't even blow-dry his hair. He just wiped it roughly with a towel and left it alone. He put on his clothes casually and went to the cafeteria.
"Hmm...what are we having for dinner...I've already had spicy hotpot for lunch."
Cleveland pushed the door open, expecting to see his friends sitting around the table, but instead he saw the familiar girl with long blue hair.
The other party seemed to have noticed her and smiled, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you come in and help me serve the food?"
Cleveland came back to his senses, reached out and scratched his messy hair, and replied, "Come right in."
The people sitting nearby and waiting for their meals and boats were silently complaining.
Hood: "Looks a lot more energetic."
Nagashima: "Of course, the little sun of the sunflower is back, so it must be standing up."
Su Xin: “?”
Phoenix lay on the table and refused to comment.
"Whose niece should I choose?
ps: It’s so short, gkd!
Chapter
Fang Yan had a very fulfilling time during this period. Thanks to teachers Kaga and Yubari, she was able to audit various other courses.
You have to buy the textbooks yourself, but there are a lot of seniors here, so buying second-hand textbooks is very easy.
Fang Yan was the type who got on the bus midway and didn't even buy a ticket, so it was no problem to say that she got the ride for free. However, the two teachers were famous, and the instructors didn't say anything. Anyway, they didn't make the money, so Fang Yan
I take classes every day
Fang Yan's schedule was very full. She didn't go to morning self-study. She wanted to help Tiancheng go to Teacher Yubari's department and help clean and tidy up the room. After all, when Yubari was studying, he couldn't take care of the dirty room.
After I finished tidying up the room and chatting with Tiancheng, the morning self-study course was over. Then Fang Yan left for the class, and Tiancheng continued to sense the ship equipment.
The course of "Calling the Tide" is divided into three parts, with classes in the morning, afternoon and evening. There are two large classes in the morning, and each large class is divided into two small classes, each 45 minutes long. There is a 20-minute break between the large classes, so students don't have to worry about the class time.
I go back to the dormitory when I don’t have classes, and go to the new classroom when I have classes.
The afternoon is the same as the morning, and there are only three small classes in the evening. It is already 9:35 when the classes are over.
When Fang Yan goes to the department with some midnight snacks, she will meet Kaga and Kisaragi who are accompanying Amagi, as well as Mr. Yubari who is asking about the data progress so as to modify the ship equipment data.
After they had a midnight snack, Fang Yan followed Kaga and Ruyue to protect Amagi back.
At night, Fang Yan lived in Kaga's dormitory. There were two bedrooms, one for Kaga, one for Ruyue and one for Amagi, and Fang Yan slept on the sofa in the living room.
In fact, Tiancheng had suggested that he sleep with Kaga and let Fang Yan sleep with Ruyue, but Ruyue strongly resisted. Fang Yan did not dare to sleep with the usually cold-faced teacher Kaga, so she gave up.
The sofa was very soft, or rather too soft. Fang Yan felt very tired after sleeping on it. She felt weak all over when she woke up the next day, but she couldn't stay in bed any longer, so she had to get up early.
Fortunately, Fang Yan had also experienced hardships, so she adapted quickly. Every night on her way home, she would play a teasing game on Ruyue, lying to her that she was a werewolf and would transform and eat her when she saw the moon.
The key point is that little Ruyue believed it. She sobbed every day and hugged Tiancheng's arm and refused to let go, which made Tiancheng unable to stop laughing.
There are many courses, which are not much different from university courses, except that there are no very professional courses. Most of them are very comprehensive, such as English, mathematics, modern history, ideological and political subjects, plus some courses related to KanColle, which is full.
Paved all day
Fang Yan is very smart. Although she is not as abnormal as Su Xin, she has always been among the top students since she was a child. It is very hard to start learning from the middle and late stages of the course. After all, if she really wants to enter in March next year, it will be the second half of the year.
It's the end of the semester. I have to take all the classes in the first half of the semester by myself.
Fang Yan's temperament has become more and more calm. In fact, she has always been like this. If she can do something herself, she is unwilling to ask others for help even if it may be troublesome.
When Fang Yan is alone, she either reads and studies or listens to music. She is very quiet and doesn't cause trouble for herself or others.
She understands when she needs to be cheerful and when she needs to be a little silly. When she is with the necessary people, she is lively, cheerful and carefree. She will only be truly quiet when she is alone.
“This is normal,” she thought. “This is how people are.”
Her ability to laugh anytime and anywhere makes her, an auditor, very popular in every class.
Everyone thinks Fang Yan is an optimistic, confident, sunny and cheerful girl, who is occasionally confused. She will not refuse to help with anything. She is simply perfect.
Fang Yan believes that this is a necessary means of social interaction and regards changing forms at any time as a daily routine.
"It's very fulfilling." Fang Yan walked to the department with a book and a midnight snack in her arms, "It's normal to be a little tired."
Fang Yan turned her wrist and saw the time and date on her electronic watch.
"December 12th..." Fang Yan breathed, "It's getting cold."
She shrank her head, hoping the scarf could bring her more warmth.
The message alert on the phone rang a few times, but Fang Yan didn't have her hands to hold it, so she could only wait until she got there.
I knocked on the door of the department, but Ruyue didn't come to open it. The room was dark, as if no one was there. Fang Yan felt puzzled, so she put down her midnight snack and went to open the door. The moment she pushed the door, the lights came on, and with the explosion, colorful ribbons fell down.
"Happy birthday!!"
Fang Yan looked at Kaga, who was pulling the ribbon gun with a cold face in the room, Kisaragi, who was jogging over to bring her a paper crown, Amagi, who was sitting at the table and smiling gently, and Yubari, who pressed the light switch next to her.
"Ah... I have to clean the room again." Fang Yan wanted to laugh out of habit, but she didn't. Her eyes were red and her mouth corners were pulled, with a strange expression.
"I'm actually following the lunar calendar..." Fang Yan muttered softly. She bent down and let Ruyue, who looked unhappy, put a small crown on her head. She stood up and messed up Ruyue's hair, which earned her an unhappy glare.
"Thank you!" Fang Yan rubbed her eyes and finally curled her lips, "So hypocritical..."
The cake was a single layer, two palms wide, decorated with various fruits and chocolate chips, and had the words "Happy Birthday, Fang Yan" written on it in red jam. It was nothing original, but quite heartwarming.
It is essential to spread cream on cake. Fang Yan did not dare to do anything with the elders, so she could only do it with little Ruyue.
When Ruyue was eating the cake, Fang Yan went up and grabbed her with her claws. Before Ruyue could react, Fang Yan turned around and ran away, laughing as she ran. Ruyue was furious and chased after her with the half-eaten plate in her hand.
After the play, it was time to clean up. The cake was not easy to clean, so after cleaning up, they had to take turns taking a shower. Fang Yan and Ruyue both had some cream on their bodies, with their faces being the worst affected.
It was already eleven o'clock when she finished washing. Fang Yan said goodnight to the children and two elders, and lay on the sofa. She felt her cell phone vibrate, and then she remembered that she had not read the messages.
The latest message was addressed to "Stinky Dad" and contained a simple message: "Happy birthday, stay safe."
Fang Yan groaned for a long time, "Dad, I've always been following the lunar calendar."
After staring at her phone for a while, she finally remembered to reply. Fang Yan thought for a while before starting to type.
"I have read it, don't read it."
