"Commander, are we going back to the room today?" asked Little Ruyue, who was following Eldridge, wanting to know where the two of them would spend the day.
Su Xin shook her head. "I have something to discuss with Sister Helena. Can you guys go... go play with Lafite first?"
The two little ones looked at each other, nodded, and left together. Su Xin thought about it and decided to go find Helena. She hoped to solve the problem as soon as possible. It was not a good idea to avoid her all the time. Lafite seemed unhappy just now.
If the situation continues like this, the worst outcome will come before it even starts to get worse.
Helena was packing up her things in the command room. As a secretary ship, she had not fulfilled her corresponding duties for a long time. The long idle period was too hard for someone who liked to have something to do.
"Sister Helena."
"Hmm?" Helena put down the pile of files in her hand and turned around to look, "Ah... Su Su, what's wrong?"
"I have something...I want to hear your opinion..."
Su Xin in front of him was hesitant, which was not like her usual style. It seemed that she would only show this fragile and hesitant look for a while before a battle or after a crisis. At other times, she looked very confident.
She looked like an adult, but her behavior at this moment showed some sensibility that a girl of this age should have.
Helena clapped her hands, shook her clothes, pulled Su Xin to sit on the sofa, and looked at her quietly with her chin in her hand.
"You said."
"I..." Su Xin opened her mouth and chose her words, "Lafite kissed me that day... Although it was on the chin and there was cream... But I was worried whether it was 59
Su Xin thought about it, lowered her head under Helena's gaze, and whispered, "Yes... like me."
"Yeah... I like her." Helena said softly, her words carrying the magic of soothing people's hearts, "Everyone in our port area likes Su Su very much."
"It's different..." Su Xin thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it's... that kind of love."
"What are you afraid of?"
“…fear of change.”
"What are you afraid of changing?"
"...relation?"
Helena smiled, very calm and composed, without any of the shyness and panic she had when she was called "little princess" by a ship girl with full boyfriend power.
"Didn't our relationship start with change?"
"At first you're just a stranger, and no one is willing to accept you."
"But as we got along, everyone gradually began to like you, and now we are living a peaceful life. Isn't that also a change in the relationship?"
"So why are you afraid of change? Everyone has been changing, but the fact that I like you has never changed."
Su Xin blushed a little, but still raised an objection, "Because they are sisters, the family relationship is very strong, right?"
"Why are you afraid of your relationship changing from family to partners? Your lifestyle and the way you get along won't change much, right?" Helena strategically skipped the topic.
Su Xin hesitated. She actually had the answer in her heart. The answer was simple and obvious, but she was afraid to say it out loud, because saying it out loud would mean that she would face this answer, receive Helena's care and advice, and accept
Suggest and correct it, but this is a development she doesn't want to see, which seems a bit like she is afraid to seek medical treatment.
Helena hugged Su Xin, touched her head and spoke softly.
"Susu... has low self-esteem..."
Su Xin's body trembled. Although the movement was small, Helena who was hugging her still felt it.
"Obviously Susu has done a good job."
"Susu is obviously better than most people."
"What are you feeling inferior about?"
Su Xin was silent for a while, "I'm not good enough..."
"I am very naive and only know how to read books..."
"I'm stupid and can't understand what everyone is saying..."
"I just feel that..."
"...I was afraid I wasn't good enough."
Helena touched her head, and then stroked her like a cat, from her head to her tailbone, and finally stopped on her back and patted her gently.
"Be more confident, Susu...be more confident."
"You're always improving and getting better. It's okay."
"Even if you are not good enough, we will be by your side, always supervising you and watching you grow up."
"You have to believe in us, and believe in yourself, huh?"
Su Xin said nothing, nestling in Helena's arms without moving, as if she was thinking, or in a daze. Helena just kept holding her, patting her back gently, repeating the actions patiently and gently as if coaxing a child.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xin rubbed against Helena's arms and raised her head, "I know."
Helena was about to nod, but she heard her ask, "So Rafi... is that the kind of person she likes?"
Helena was stunned. Su Xin's head was resting on her shoulder. She lowered her head and couldn't see the other person's expression, so she thought about it and asked tentatively.
"Still scared?"
"..."
"Why do you have to worry about this?" Helena gently pushed Su Xin, asking her to leave his arms and face herself.
"Susu, you have to know that love always develops naturally. You don't need to worry about it. Just go along with it."
"...I don't like things that are fickle." Su Xin muttered. After all, she had no expectations for something like love.
"Actually..." Helena rolled her eyes, "There's no evidence that Rafi likes you that much, right?"
"But online--
"That's different." Helena said seriously, "That's different. You are the commander and we are the ship girls. The bond between us is deeper than that of ordinary people. You can't compare yourself with the situation of ordinary people, right?"
Su Xin seemed to be thinking about something. Helena increased her strength and kissed Su Xin on the forehead, deliberately making some noise. A crisp "mua!" echoed in the quiet room.
Su Xin was stunned and blushed. Helena smiled and asked, "Look, it's normal. Will Su Su be unhappy if I do this?"
Su Xin thought about it and shook her head.
"Yes." Helena lowered her head, pried Su Xin's chin, and kissed her on the tip of her chin. "Look, these are all normal interactions. There's no need to dwell on them. Just let it go. If you hate it, stop it.
If you don’t hate it, just bear with it, that’s good.”
Su Xiaobendan thought about it for a long time and inexplicably felt that it made sense. After the focus of the problem shifted, Lafite's kiss didn't seem to be something worth making a fuss about.
"Love is the same. When you get along with each other, if you feel it's right for you, then you can be together. If it's not right, then you can just stay together. Just let it go. You don't have to resist anything deliberately." Helena rubbed Su Xiaobendan's head and said softly.
Persuade.
Su Xin was led by this train of thought. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "So... am I making a big deal out of nothing?"
Helena smiled and nodded.
"Ah... Rafi seems angry..."
"Well...So Susu, you have to figure out how to coax her quickly, okay?"
"...It's so hard. I'm so stupid."
Helena laughed, "This is also part of our daily life, think about it carefully, okay?"
"Well……"
The atmosphere in the command room returned to normal. The petite figure leaning against the door outside breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her coat that had slipped off, stood up straight, and left.

Um... so do you think Su Su is a scumbag? Because of low self-esteem and zero experience, she is a coward. If you think there are problems, I will take a look and change it. It's my first time writing, so I'm not very good...
Chapter 122 Progress
After talking and confiding in Helena, Su Xin walked out of the command room, feeling much better and less depressed.
Indeed, it is too early to consider these issues at this stage. What's more, the way the commander and the ship girl get along is different from that of ordinary people. It is not certain whether Laffy has feelings for him in that aspect. If he is wrong, wouldn't he be
It's useless to be nervous here.
"Let it be...ah..." Su Xin muttered to herself as she looked at the sky outside, recalling the content of the conversation.
It seems normal for girls to cuddle with each other, and with the bond they already have, being kissed doesn't seem to be something that's worth taking seriously?
"So... is this really normal?"
After thinking it over, Su Xin decided to find someone else to ask.
There seemed to be only a few reliable elders in the family. As for Miss Hu De, she usually attached great importance to the status of a lady. Su Xin felt that if she asked her, the opinions she would get might be mixed with some influence of dignity and self-restraint.
It is not very valuable for reference. After much thought, I decided to look for Tiancheng.
Kaga was dragged by Shokaku to the exercise and was not in the room to chat with Amagi, so Amagi was "listening" to TV in the room at this time. The dignified look of kneeling on the bed made him look like a shrine maiden worshiping the gods.
When Su Xin came and saw her like this, she inexplicably retreated. She always felt that it was not a wise move to ask this strategist lady. After entering the door, she stopped not far away.
"Susu?" Tiancheng cast his gaze towards the blurry figure, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you coming over?"
Su Xin swallowed subconsciously, "...coming soon."
Tiancheng smiled gently, patted the soft bed beside him, and motioned for her to sit over. Su Xin couldn't refuse, so she went over, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged next to Tiancheng, with their arms touching.
With something hidden in my heart, I always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when sitting so close to Miss Fox. However, her smile was as gentle as ever, and her voice was full of tolerance and pampering. She looked gentle and amiable no matter how I looked at her.
Su Xin really couldn't figure out where the oppressive feeling of the big sister next door came from.
Tiancheng waited for her to sit down before slowly changing his sitting position, sitting with his legs sideways, with his slender calf with body temperature pressed against Su Xin's thigh.
"So Susu...did you encounter something that you couldn't figure out?"
Su Xin was startled and looked up, only to meet Tian Cheng's lavender eyes. Although she knew that the other person had poor eyesight, she still felt like she was seen through. Only then did Su Xin know where the feeling of oppression came from.
But after all, she was her own sister. Su Xin was surprised for only a moment, and then she turned her head and forgot about it. Anyway, she could never guess what this elder sister was thinking. They were not at the same level at all. What else could she say?
What is more practical.
"It's like this." Su Xin looked calm, "I have a question that I have never understood and I want to ask my sister."
Tiancheng didn't show it on his face, but he made a note in his little notebook.
"So far, physical contact doesn't seem to work on Susu... Hmm... Which one is it?"
"Susu, just ask."
“Is it normal for girls to hug and kiss each other?”
Tiancheng was stunned and smiled more gently.
"Yes, but it may be less common among humans. It may be more common between ship girls and ship girls, or between ship girls and commanders. After all, the relationship between them is better than that between ordinary people."
"Hmm...Do you and Mr. Kaga go to the bathroom together?"
Tiancheng was stunned, thinking of his commander's miserable interpersonal situation, and narrowed his eyes.
"Hmm... no? Because we are all ship girls, our physiological needs are much lower."
"They go to the bathroom together, mostly because they just happen to have that need, which usually happens between humans. Shipgirls rarely need to go to the bathroom together, so they generally can't get together. Is this also a difference?"
"I heard that some people would wait outside the toilet..." Su Xin hesitated a little, because she knew the special nature of the ship girls, and actually believed Amagi's words 80%.
"Yeah, maybe. Some people who are close to each other will do this." Tiancheng touched Su Xin's head and smiled playfully, "If Su Su wants, we can go together, okay?"
"Um..." Su Xin blushed and waved her hands, "No, no, no."
Tiancheng was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and pinched Su Xin's cheek. It was soft and elastic, and felt very good, which made her mood cheerful as well.
"Is this what you came to me to ask?"
Su Xin was also a little embarrassed. Her face was pinched, causing her to speak vaguely. "I think I'm thinking too much... Maybe it's because I haven't experienced it before..."
Tiancheng smiled, loosened his hand, leaned closer, and kissed the slightly red cheek that he had just pinched in front of Su Xin's wide eyes.
"You have to know that kissing is just a way to express love. Apart from lips..." Tiancheng stepped back and gently touched Su Xin's lower lip with his index finger. "Other places only represent intimacy, understand?"
Su Xin got goosebumps all over her body, and she felt like she was being watched by a dangerous creature. The itch on her lips made her scalp tingle, and she couldn't help but shiver and tilted her head back.
"I...I know..."
Tiancheng blinked, put away the desire that he had accidentally revealed, and returned to his usual calm and dignified state. After the unknown sense of oppression and prying faded away, the silly roe deer Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, licked her lower lip and leaned forward.
