[Okay, good night, Nimi-chan~]
PS: The child's full name was written based on the answer on Zhihu. The story would have been longer, but this is the first time I've tried this type of story, so I didn't dare to write too much, fearing that you wouldn't be able to read it. Well... I'll try harder next time!
PPS: Fixed the minor bug of typing the wrong character at the end
Chapter 1008 Teacher (1
A big house, a green yard, and many magical things
Anchorage, who is temporarily living in Donghuang Dormitory, has only these simple impressions of his new home.
She still remembers the shabby courtyard where everyone used to live together. All the experiences seemed to have happened just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
Even though her sister was there, she still felt very uncomfortable.
Moreover, after becoming smaller, the elder sister is busy every day. She goes out very early and comes back very late, and they can only see each other at lunch.
The rest of the time, Anchorage would stay in his room.
Being timid was one thing, but the other was that she couldn't face so many strangers at the same time.
It’s not that other ship girls are difficult to get along with, on the contrary, Anchorage knows that these sisters are very gentle and enthusiastic, and will give her all kinds of snacks and toys.
But she came to the big family of Hong Kong halfway through, and was naturally separated from other people by a barrier. The more enthusiastic they were, the more she retreated.
Only when he is alone with his sister will he stick his tentacles out of his snail shell and say "everything is fine" obediently.
It was bustling outside every day, but Anchorage never took the initiative to blend in. He just sat by the closed window, recalling the past along with the sounds.
Until this morning.
"Tuk Tuk"
"?!"
Anchorage, who was lying on the table flipping through a picture book, raised his head but did not speak rashly for fear that he had heard it wrongly.
"Tuk Tuk"
"Yes...Excuse me...?"
[Anbao? It's my sister. Have you had breakfast?]
Anchorage kicked his legs hurriedly, and the chair moved against the floor, making a slightly harsh sound.
She heard it, stood up, took two steps hesitantly, turned back nervously, carefully moved the wooden chair, moved it under the table, and then ran to open the door.
My eyes subconsciously looked forward at the same height, but I didn't see those gentle eyes. I was stunned for a moment before I remembered to look down.
"...Sister, good morning..."
"Good morning." The youthful and beautiful miniature sister smiled at her, "Did you just get up?"
Anchorage shook his head obediently and looked at Yixian who was watering the flowers in the yard and Ninghai who was doing splits. He felt strange and a little uncomfortable.
"No...I'm...reading."
"Oh... a favorite book?"
"The painting... is beautiful..."
"I see." Anchorage saw his sister touching the tip of her nose, a familiar gesture, "Um...are you free? How about going out for a walk?"
Of course she wanted to, but she knew Su Xin was very busy and didn't want to cause trouble for others. "Sister... is working, I... can't go..."
Anchorage thought her sister would praise her for being sensible, then touch her head and leave the yard, but she didn't expect to hear her say
"Ah... I do have some documents to process, but I decided to introduce you to a new friend. You should be quite familiar with her."
Anchorage blinked, then glanced at the black-haired sister who was pruning branches in the yard. She was called the wedding ship, and asked, "Who... is it...?"
As soon as the words fell, a vibrant figure jumped out from behind the green potted plants, "Hi~ Anchorage, I'm Baltimore, do you remember me?"
"Sister Baltimore..."
"Hmm, the commander told me that you are an improved version of the Baltimore-class ship, so if you insist, we are sisters, right?"
"Um…"
"Would you like to go for a walk with me? It's meal time for the kittens outside the fence. Would you like to make friends with them?"
"...Um!"
After answering, Anchorage tilted his head, watched his sister whispering to Baltimore for a moment, and finally made an "OK" gesture.
The scientific research ship didn't understand, but she firmly believed that her sister must have her reasons for doing so.
Su Xin: "Have fun. I'll wait for you to come back home."
Anchorage: "...Yeah!"
Baltimore: "So, let's go?"
Anchorage: "...Okay."
In the commercial streets outside the port area, many store managers and employees have cats. In addition to attracting customers by acting cute and coquettish, they are also good at eating and drinking for free.
If they get tired of the cat food at home, they will go out to find food on their own.
Most of the food sold in snack bars is high in oil and salt, so people don't dare to feed them too much. Slender cats can barely be satisfied, but some orange pigs cannot.
Baltimore discovered it one morning while jogging with Bremerton.
A large orange-red mass lay on the stone platform at the junction of the harbor fences, like a warm slime.
It has shiny fur and a collar around its neck, so it is undoubtedly a domesticated cat, but for some reason it ran to the port area.
Thinking that he was already sweating, Baltimore was not in a hurry to leave. He led Bremerton a few steps forward and looked up at it.
Fatty Ju wasn't afraid of people either. He just raised his eyelids lazily without making a sound.
Bremerton found it interesting, so he dug out a palm-sized bag of dried fish snacks from the space, the kind with very little seasoning, opened it and tried to feed it to the baby.
Then you can see that noble orange pig throwing away its dignity and eating madly while snoring.
The Baltimore and Bremerton's ship equipment have no companion creatures. If you have a cat or a dog, you're afraid you won't be able to take good care of it. It's a rare opportunity to come across one from someone else, so I had a great time touching it.
They thought their fate ended there, but unexpectedly, they met the orange cat again in the same place the next morning.
Then...feeding snacks became a natural thing, and it continues to this day.
"Anchorage, give it a try? It's very well behaved." Baltimore handed over an unopened cat note, "You can pet it while you eat, okay?"
The heavy cruiser, who looked mature in appearance but childish in heart, took it and held it in his hand for a long time in confusion before he tore open the snack under the staring gaze of the orange cat and timidly reached up.
The fat orange quickly poked its head out to lick and bite. Anchorage was startled and retracted his hand, causing it to jump off the wall and rub its warm body against the heavy cruiser's legs.
Baltimore soothed him gently, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it just wants to eat. Haven't you fed small animals before?"
"Food... is expensive... and my sister won't be full..." Anchorage thought of the past, "But... I can catch insects... and feed the birds..."
So she shook her head and said, "I have fed...the birds..."
"Wow, that's amazing! Birds are very shy and don't dare to make friends with us. If you can get to know them, then you can definitely make friends with this cat."
"Yes... Little Santiago... Awesome..."
"Well... but she hasn't discovered the cat yet, so if you succeed, you will meet new friends before she does?"
Anchorage subconsciously squeezed the cat strip, and the contents came out. Fat Orange rubbed it against his legs even more happily, making coquettish cries one after another.
Anchorage plucked up her courage, squatted down and fed the cat. The cat ate with a purring sound. Its fluffy and soft body was right in front of her, as if waving at her.
Anchorage, who was somewhat unfamiliar with this creature, was nervous for a moment, but finally he mustered up the courage to stroke its fur. It felt very good, so he stroked it again. His mood changed, so he stroked it again.
The tense expression gradually relaxed, and the lips that were always pursed slowly curved up.
Baltimore secretly breathed a sigh of relief and set the route according to Su Xin's instructions. "Do you... like cats?"
Anchorage, who was immersed in petting the cat, thought briefly and nodded, "...I like it."
"Then... there is a cat in the royal family? She is very cute and likes to eat. Sweet cake is her favorite food. How about you try to feed her?"
"...cat?"
"Yeah, cat."
"But I... don't have... cake..."
"It's okay. I brought some out when I went to eat this morning. I plan to save them for later. You can eat whatever you want at home. If you want something, take it home and enjoy it slowly. Got it?"
"...Um!"
Baltimore waited for her to finish feeding the cat, and then taught her: "Although cats are cute, you can't feed them too much, otherwise they will become too fat to walk. From now on, you can only feed them once a day, okay?"
"knew…"
"Then let's go find another cute cat? Go right from here, don't turn, the house with the iron gate is the cat's home."
"...Um!"
Baltimore led the man up and said, "Let's go now. This cat will go home by itself. You have to learn from it and go home before dark. Got it?"
"...Yeah." Anchorage smiled softly, "Thank you...you, Baltimore sister..."
Thinking of the message he received in the early morning and the commander's instructions just now, Baltimore smiled and said, "Actually... well, it's okay~"
Chapter 1009 Teacher (2
"Dear, dear, you come to see me!"
"...Well, I can call you Commander, or Sister. At least change this title, okay?"
"No, my dear is my dear. I have already said that I will marry my dear and I cannot go back on my word!"
Su Xin was stunned. "Wife? Who taught you that?"
Kewei, who was drinking tea with his ears perked up not far away, suddenly coughed and added in an attempt to cover up the truth, "Did you catch a cold last night?" The little commander instantly spotted the culprit.
"...Why did you teach her this?"
Kewei wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, feeling embarrassed, "I just wanted to learn some experience from the TV series, who knew she would stand behind me for more than an hour..."
"TV series? Are you going to learn something from it?"
Kewei blushed, "Just...maintaining the relationship between husband and wife, managing the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...or something like that..."
Su Xin had no choice but to turn around and correct the little Cheshire, pinching his cheek and explaining: "You can only call me wife after you get married, and it's not you who should call me wife, understand? You are still young, don't learn this."
"Then can we get married today?" The little cat girl was so excited that she almost found a white dress to take the oath on the spot.
This kind of innocence and enthusiasm that is unique to children made Su Xin unable to say anything harsh. She thought that she would understand it when she grows up, so she had to change the subject and talk about business.
"I came here to ask you for a favor."
Little Cheshire happily hugged him and said, "Dear, you said I will definitely work hard!"
Holding back the urge to complain, Commander Su Xiao started to explain, "It's like this, An Bao hasn't gone out in the past few days since she came here, and I guess she might be a little overwhelmed socially."
Kewei put down the cup and thought for a moment, "So you're going to bring her over to play later? You want us to make good friends with her?"
"Almost, but not entirely." Su Xin checked the time. "To put it simply, she was afraid of causing trouble for me, so even though she agreed to what I said, she wouldn't do it."
"I hope you can take care of her, teach her to put aside her politeness, let her know that this is her home and you are all her family, um... something like that."
Kewei held up his chin and thought, feeling that it was very difficult, "If you just say that, we don't understand what to do."
Su Xin told her not to be nervous. "I have already talked to Sister Baltimore. She will help take An Bao around the port area and teach her how to recognize the roads and people. You just need to cooperate."
If it was just a matter of cooperation, the feasibility would be much higher. Kewei nodded in agreement and took out his cell phone to call Guanghui.
"Sister, come down quickly, come down quickly, the older friend you're curious about is coming over to play, didn't you leave a lot of desserts? This is a good opportunity for you to get close to her."
Su Xin shook her head when she heard that. Just as she was about to take the little cat girl off her lap, she heard her mutter softly, "Huh... You promised to give me something to eat before, but now you like... you like new things instead of old ones. What a terrible sister, what a bad woman..."
"Pfft... cough cough, it's okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow." Commander Su put Cheshire down on the ground, waved to Kewei and turned to leave, "Goodbye, bad woman."
Kewei: "...Huh? Sister, she said I was a bad woman!"
[Hehe…you better be brave and prove it to her.]
"Tuk Tuk"
"Hmm? Come in."
