Dido shrank her head, "No, I don't want to disturb the master..."
The little commander sighed, pulled his arm free, and took the maid to the mess. "I never bothered you. If you continue to be so polite, I will complain to Sister Beifa, right?"
"Eh?! Yes, I'm sorry! Dido will try her best! As long as the master still needs Dido! Dido, Dido will definitely give her everything for the master!!!"
The panicked words came out in a slightly higher volume, causing several members of the Sleepy Club to move their heads subconsciously.
The maid was startled and quickly closed her mouth and shrank back to the little commander, huddled up in a limp ball and followed him timidly.
Su Xin was accustomed to her maid's behavior. Her overly sensitive and cowardly character could easily generate a lot of negative energy, causing her to sink into the quagmire.
This situation cannot be changed in a short time. What is needed is long-term companionship and comfort, giving the other person more self-confidence and making the other person feel that he or she is needed all the time.
Today she was busy running around the camp and didn't pay much attention to Dido's situation. She should have called to ask earlier.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you next time." Su Xin said as she sat down on the ground and glanced at the instructions. "The tubes are wrong. This is a bracket and that is a strut, so they can't be connected."
"S-Sorry... Dido is too stupid..."
"No, you even considered setting up tents for everyone, doesn't that mean you're very considerate? Everyone has things they're not good at... Oh, by the way, how much did this cost?"
"Two, two thousand..."
Su Xin paused while taking the pipe, "...How much?"
Dido's expression fell, and she repeated pitifully, "Two thousand... Because, because it is nano-grade...? Um, nano-grade fabric can block all... purple lines? So it's a little more expensive... but the quality is very good.
"Mouth Click"
Su Xin glanced at the plastic nut that suddenly cracked at the joint, then turned her head to look at the stunned maid, "...two hundred is too expensive."
Dido: QA Q woo…
Fortunately, it doesn't need to look good to be a temporary awning. If the bracket breaks, it breaks. At most, the height can be lowered from two meters to one meter. Anyway, these people will have to climb out after waking up.
As for waking everyone up... forget it. I've already bought this two thousand dollar tent. Wouldn't it be a shame if I don't use it?
Su Xin sat cross-legged and quickly assembled the steel frame. When she looked up, she inadvertently saw a shadow on the sand in front of her. It was a huge circle, like an umbrella.
She found it strange that since Dido had an umbrella, why didn't she open it to block the sun when assembling it? Instead, she wore a full set of maid clothes and basked in the sun for two hours.
The little commander thought more and more puzzled, so he simply tilted his head back and asked, "Sister Dido, don't you have an umbrella? Why didn't you - eh?!"
The blushing maid closed her eyes tightly, pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands and tremblingly pulled it up, flattening the skirt that hung to the middle of her thighs, creating a small shadow for her master at noon when the sun was high in the sky.
Perhaps she was too nervous, so she didn't hear the question from the little commander. She just prayed silently that no one would pass by, so as not to cause trouble to her master again.
Su Xin saw the white all around and the pants that were almost the same style as her own. She lowered her head silently and her ears blushed.
"...What should I do now? Pretend I didn't see it?"
"Even if you didn't bring an umbrella, don't you have a tarp worth 1,800 yuan next to you? Why do you have to use a skirt..."
"Is it my fault or hers?"
"........."
"Wait, in this situation, shouldn't we just find something for her to do? Is she supposed to stay in this position forever? What if someone sees us..."
Su Xin kept a tense expression as she tried to think clearly about the key point. Just as she was about to ask the maid if there were any drinks, she met the gaze of Da Feng, who had a big bump on his head and had fallen into a physical sleep but was now waking up.
Little Commander: "...
Dafeng: “.........”
Little Commander: "Ahem... Sister Dido, do you have a shovel?"
Dido heard it this time, blushing and putting down her skirt, took out the deformed shovel, "It, it was broken by Miss Dafeng, I'm afraid someone will step on it if I put it here... this... is it okay?"
Su Xin's ears were red and hot, but she kept a straight face. She stood up, took the shovel, and prepared to look at the aircraft carrier with wide eyes.
Dafeng used her gluey brain to review the scene she had just seen, and finally came to her senses. She jumped out of the sand pile with a big leap.
"Commander! This kind of play can also be-
"Bang!"
"ah--!!!"
"puff"
Su Xin clapped her hands, pulled over the tarpaulin worth eighteen thousand yuan, and covered Dafeng, who was not wearing a bra, with it while Dido was in a panic.
She picked up the shovel that was even more deformed, glanced at the others who were awakened by the loud noise, and smiled.
"Did you get enough sleep? It's almost noon. Let's get up and eat."
Yubari & Shinano & Nicholas: ... ... well behaved (⊙·v·o)
Chapter 918 Inside Story
The lunch was pretty ordinary, with no special dishes, but because it was freshly cooked, it tasted much better than those that had been cooked and then heated in the microwave.
But what was strange was that Su Xin did not see other roommates at the dinner table, including Yixian and Tiancheng.
Only Ning Hai, who was using the kitchen to cook a big pot of rice, was at home. After finishing the meal, he left with a few lunch boxes. Judging from the quantity, it was only enough for a few people.
Su Xin sat alone with her rice bowl in her hand, staring at the steaming vegetables for a long time before coming to a conclusion.
"Hmm, it's a rare holiday, but you didn't even eat...? I guess I need to reduce my workload...
The timid maid Dido stood behind her and didn't respond, mainly because she didn't know how to respond.
Promise it... Doesn't that mean you agree that the workload is too heavy?
But she could deny it... She really didn't know what everyone was doing, and there was no point in denying it because she had no valid reasons.
Coupled with her clumsy performance when putting up the awning just now, Dido thought about it and decided to stay quiet to avoid worrying her owner.
No one responded to Su Xin's words. It was as if she was talking to herself, so she gave up the conversation and turned around to eat her meal.
This is good. If she finishes eating earlier, she can go to other houses earlier. She hopes that Weiyan, Evil and the others will go home on time for dinner, otherwise she will probably make another wasted trip.
Su Xin eats very quickly out of personal habit and is not picky about food. She is the type of person who can finish a whole bowl of rice with just a small dish of vegetables.
Since there was no one else at the table, she didn't waste any more time. She finished her meal quickly in a few bites and ran into the kitchen with the plate before Dido could stop her.
Ning Hai had washed the chopping board and kitchen utensils before leaving, so Su Xin only had to wash a few plates and a bowl.
Dido was as anxious as ever and didn't want her master to work, but unfortunately she couldn't hold her ground, so after being coaxed by the little commander, she obediently took the rag and went out to wipe the table.
After a few minutes, everything was ready. Su Xin glanced at her phone. It was just past twelve o'clock. The tea party would be held around three in the afternoon, so she still had more than two hours of free time.
She thought about it and decided to follow the plan. She would first go out to the port to find the ship girls who had not yet met the above, and then turn around to visit Ono An's house.
Unfortunately, no matter how high her execution ability was, she couldn't stop the ship girls who didn't want to go home at all. She spent thirty minutes running around the map, but in the end, no one was in the house.
In desperation, Su Xin had to turn around and knock on Xiao Ye Xing's door.
Perhaps it was because the place was too small so that sound could be easily transmitted, or perhaps the person inside was just waiting, the conductor was immediately welcomed in by the girl with a happy face after knocking on the door twice.
"Xin-chan, please take a seat. What would you like to drink? Tea, please?"
"Um...thank you, no thanks, would you please sit down first?"
Su Xin waited for the other party to sit down opposite her, then glanced at the maid who was standing obediently beside her, silently swallowed the words that advised her to come over and rest, and turned to inquire about the news.
"Lunch, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes! Yes!" Ono Xing clenched her hands, stretched her arms and supported them on her knees, with her waist straight. "Thank you very much for your help, Xin-chan. I thought I could only eat rice balls..."
"Well, you're welcome. After all, I wasn't the one who cooked or delivered the food. You should thank Ning Hai and Sister Sheffield."
These words sounded a bit difficult, but Ono An remained calm and quickly changed her tone to thank the several ship girls who were not present. Her smile was still bright and she didn't look like she had a bad temper.
Su Xin glanced at her. She was dressed quite coolly in a belly-baring camisole and hot pants, but she was also wearing a pair of black stockings that covered half of her calves.
"What's wrong? Xin-chan? You're looking at me like that..." Ono-chan tilted her head, showing an innocent and curious expression.
Most normal people would feel embarrassed if they were exposed like this, but Su Xin had never learned these things, and no one at home would specifically bring it up. It would be better to say... those people in Sakura Empire wish she saw it this way.
So Commander Su didn't feel any psychological pressure at all. He shook his head leisurely, "Nothing, I'm just curious, why do you wear such long socks at home?"
"Ah, this? It's a habit, huh?" Xiao Ye Xing lifted her leg and pulled the socks in front of Su Xin, making a soft "snap" sound. "If you wear socks, your feet will be cleaner. The length... because it's used so often."
The unfavorable angle created a gap between the pants and the leg flesh, which was a very easy posture to expose herself. Su Xin politely looked away, thinking that she seemed to have seen this situation somewhere before.
Seeing her suddenly turn her head away, Ono Xing, who was sitting opposite her, seemed to finally realize something. She quickly put down her legs and sat up straight again, blushing and lowering her head, "Excuse me, Excuse me!"
"...It's okay. Speaking of which... for this volunteer activity, didn't your... school set any indicators or assessments?" Su Xin asked casually.
Xiao Ye Xing has not yet recovered from the slightly ambiguous atmosphere just now, and her two delicate ears are completely red. "No, no... I may need Xin-chan to help me evaluate the grade at that time... That's it..."
"Hmm? Should I comment?"
"Yes, yes, to be precise, it was the commander who got my help, although... although I didn't help Xin-chan at all..."
Su Xin sniffed and found that she was not lying, but this might be because the school did not give any assessment. As for whether the family had it... that was not certain.
This situation was quite tricky. She couldn't directly ask the other party about the details related to the family, so she had no way of judging whether the other party's words were true or false.
And given her level, it's not realistic to use clichés.
She is not as shrewd as Tiancheng and Yixian, who can chat about this and that and get the information they want from the conversation in just a few cups of tea.
But if even communication and lie detection don't work, Su Xin really has no way to dig out the secret, and this visit is equivalent to a waste of time.
Ono Xing sat there quietly, and whenever Su Xin looked up, she would respond with a cute and bright smile.
"It's like... you're looking at me with all your heart..."
"..........
"etc…"
"This look and this expression..."
Su Xin frowned, and spoke hesitantly and intermittently, "...Xingzi, could it be that you are...?"
"Hmm? What is it? Xin-chan? You can ask me any questions you have. I will do my best to answer them for you!"
Xingzi's smile was unusually beautiful and pure, but the little commander's brows were getting deeper and deeper into frown.
"Are you...are you too unguarded towards me? It's not because of...friendship, right?"
Ono An was stunned, as if she realized something, and suddenly lowered her head. Pink spread from the tips of her ears to her face, making her look like a freshly baked bun, steaming, soft and hot.
"I, I, I... I'm so sorry!"
Ono Xing clenched her hands on her knees into fists. After a long while, she hesitated and raised her head. She looked timidly at the cold-looking girl opposite with her big tearful eyes, and then lowered her head.
"I don't know when, Xin-chan..."
"But, but I know! I also...know that I am just daydreaming..."
"So... don't hate me, okay? When the volunteer activity is over, we... we will never meet again..."
The sobbing was intermittent, shattering the originally pleasant voice. Crystal tears kept dripping down the eyelashes, hitting the white thighs and shattering them.
Su Xin looked coldly at the girl who was crying and hiccuping, and handed her a handkerchief politely. After she took it and thanked her, she suddenly said:
"It doesn't matter what, but I don't really like people lying to me."
Ono An's sobbing stopped for a moment, and her pink fingers subconsciously clenched the soft handkerchief. Tears were still flowing, and her physiological hiccups had not stopped, but there was no sadness in the look in her eyes when she looked up.
"Wu... yeah, I'm sorry... Xin-chan..." Ono Xing said with a cold face, innocently apologizing, as if she wasn't the one speaking, "It's all my fault... Wuwuwu..."
Su Xin did not respond. She watched the other party whimpering while silently unbuttoning her hot pants. She did not mind the exposure of the black lace at all. She only turned out the fabric on the left side of the hot pants.
There was a round patch on it, black and button-shaped, which looked like a repair replacement specially prepared by the merchant.
Ono Xing raised her finger and pointed at the patch, then pointed at the coffee table in front of her, and finally pointed at her throat which was still making a faint crying sound. She looked at Su Xin coldly and curled the corners of her lips, which was very different from her timid appearance just now.
Su Xin also understood, and said in a gentle voice, "Calm down, I will visit you next time." Then she stood up, looked at the other person seriously, turned around and left with the maid.
"As expected, there is something behind this..."
Chapter 919: Preparing for childbirth?
It was one o'clock in the afternoon. Su Xin, who should have been relieved after figuring out the problem that had been bothering her for a long time, did not feel the slightest bit of joy.
The matter seemed to be over. The girl, whose name was not Ono Xing at all, was forced to come here by her family. She was carrying the interests of others.
That button is most likely a device for eavesdropping or recording. And judging from Ono An's appearance, she not only has it on her body, but she probably has it in her house too.
