"Well... when Susu comes back later, we should apologize." Tiancheng made a decision, "By the way... it's time to talk to her about the relevant matters..."
What's going on?
The ship girls blushed after they figured it out, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was indeed necessary. They felt that their commander knew too little in this area, and according to his age, there should be someone to explain it to her.
Commander Su came back very quickly, and after Miss Hood's scolding came to a temporary halt, she walked into the restaurant with Lafite by the hand, and sat down on an empty seat with a pale face and a wooden expression.
After Lafite made a misunderstanding, she didn't want to talk much. At the moment, she was immersed in inexplicable sadness and joy. As for what was sad and what was happy, she couldn't tell it clearly for a while, but it was true that she didn't dare to get too close to Su Xin.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little tense. As soon as Commander Su came back, he hung his head and said nothing, causing the other ship girls to not dare to breathe heavily, for fear of making the young commander cry again.
Commander Su was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at Lafite on the left. Lafite was stunned, and before she could think of what to say, she heard Su Xin say to her:
"...Sit closer."
Lafite silently moved her chair after hearing this. Su Xin was still not satisfied and asked her to come closer. Lafite had no choice but to do so. Su Xin during her menstrual period was like a volcano that she didn't know if or when it would erupt. She was very nervous.
Timid.
Commander Su couldn't stand it anymore when he saw Lafite was hesitating for a long time, so he reached out and pulled Lafite and the chair over to him until their bodies were pressed tightly together.
The ship girls didn't know what the commander was going to do, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only watch Su Xin's actions silently.
Su Xin leaned close to Lafei's ear with a pale face and whispered, "I... my stomach feels uncomfortable, but my hands are cold, you... you help me cover it..."
Lafite, who was experienced in heating stoves, blushed quietly, stretched out her warm hand, and in full view of everyone, reached into Su Xiaozhi's clothes.
Su Xin was very thin, her body temperature was a little low, and she didn't have much muscle in her abdomen, but it wasn't overly soft. Lafite just felt that it was very smooth and elastic to the touch.
Su Xin pursed her lips, as if she was not very satisfied, and then she leaned over and added in a low voice, "Move a little, help me rub it..."
Lafite's face flushed red, and she felt the gazes of many sisters, but she had to do as she was told and gently rub Su Xiao's belly.
The person involved seemed to be enjoying it very much. He leaned back in his chair, humming with his eyes half closed. The heat source helped warm his stomach, which made Su Xiaozhizhi feel a lot more comfortable.
Yixian came out with the brown sugar ginger soup and smiled when he saw Su Xin coming back. "What a coincidence, I came back just after I finished it. Su Su, have some, it should make you feel better."
Su Xin nodded, obediently took the not-so-pleasant-smelling brown sugar ginger soup, and sipped it in small sips with a frown.
As Lafite was rubbing, his attention was drawn to the slippery feeling on his hands. When he touched his belly button, he hadn't reacted to what it was and subconsciously scratched it.
Su Xiaozhi, who was drinking soup, shuddered, and with a red face, sprayed the ginger soup in his mouth all over Changdao's face. He then slapped Lafite's rabbit paw lightly, and then hurriedly handed Changdao a handkerchief to apologize.
Nagashima took the handkerchief and wiped his face, "What kind of weird play is this..."
Upon hearing this, Lafite silently withdrew his hand, lowered his head and said nothing.
Tiancheng saw that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, so he started talking: "We all misunderstood what happened this morning. Lafei, Susu, I'm really sorry... I hope you won't be too angry..."
Rafi shook her head to say that it was okay. In fact, she herself had misunderstood and was sent to the police station first. How could she expect others to see the truth?
Su Xin seemed a little surprised when she heard this, "Huh? I'm not angry, I'm just... a little embarrassed..."
The ship girls all breathed a sigh of relief, then frantically winked at the elder of the port area, Miss Hood.
Ms. Hood asked Shokaku to take Kisaragi and Eldridge out. She then coughed lightly and tried to find the right words with a red face. "Ahem... Susu, how much do you know about the mating and reproduction of living things?"
"Huh?" Su Xin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Miss Hu De asked that, but she still answered honestly, "It's for the purpose of reproductive cell combination and fertilization, so as to achieve the purpose of reproduction."
"So what do you know about... the process...?"
Su Xin looked at the sisters who were blushing and silent, feeling a little puzzled. "Haven't you watched Animal World? There are often process shots in it.
Miss Hu De couldn't continue, and kicked Tian Cheng who was sitting next to her under the table, "You... your sister Tian Cheng has something to tell you..."
Tiancheng was also very embarrassed, but for the sake of her commander's physiological education, she could only bite the bullet and ask, "Susu, do you... do you know how you were born?"
"Of course." Su Xin grabbed Lafite's paw and asked her to continue rubbing it. "After my father and mother combined, their reproductive cells came into contact with each other to form a fertilized egg, which then entered the womb—"
"Wait wait wait…not this."
Tiancheng's original intention of asking the question was not to listen to his commander's biology popularization, "Do you... understand the process of bonding?"
Commander Su answered as a matter of course, "Yes, the biology teacher has explained it. Do you need me to repeat it again?"
Tian Cheng was dumbfounded. "Well... since you know everything, you should also understand that our misunderstanding... is not unreasonable, right?"
"Hmm? I don't quite understand." Su Xin asked with a curious attitude, "Why do you misunderstand? Will Lafite do anything to me? Reproduction can only be carried out between females and males."
“That…that’s…that’s different…” Amagi thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out what to say, so he could only look to the other ship girls for help.
Unfortunately, no one could stand up as far as the eye could see. The ship girls who had looked at Amagi all blushed and lowered their heads, indicating that they were powerless. It was our Nagashima who stood up at the critical moment.
"Commander... don't be so rigid about gender..."
Su Xin was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Girls can get married to other girls now, and it's not just for having children, right?"
Miss Hood was very pleased with Long Island's behavior and decided to extend the days of educating Long Island. It was really inappropriate for a lady to say these words in public.
Su Xin didn't think so much about it. She was quite surprised after hearing Changdao's point of view. In her previous life in the game, she had never married a ship girl. Now that she was in the real world, she felt that it was nonsense.
Su Xin had only seen the concept of yuri in foreign books. In most cases, it was just briefly mentioned in the plot and the author did not explain it in detail.
She has never seen such a thing in real life. Her interpersonal relationships are already bad, and her parents would never tell her this specifically. Besides, she doesn't know many commanders.
Wu Mu does meet the requirements, but people won't specifically tell you, "I am always bullied by Kumano in the port area", right?
Therefore, Commander Su began to think about the problem from the perspective of a seeker of knowledge, "You mean... women also have desires for other women?"
Nagashima: “Yes.”
"Doesn't that violate the law of biological reproduction? What can we gain from that?"
Nagashima was stunned for a moment, "Peace and love."
Su Xin was stunned for a while after hearing the unexpected answer. She was not satisfied with this somewhat ridiculous answer that had no data support. "This is just your personal opinion, right? There is no data or scientific proof."
"This cannot be explained by data or science. It is emotion, liking, and love." Tiancheng sighed and looked at the little commander dimly. "These are things that can never be expressed in words or numbers. They can only be expressed in words.
Feel it for yourself.”
"...So you misunderstood because you thought Lafite loved me and had physical desire for me?" Su Xin glanced at Lafite who retracted his hand and remained silent again, "I don't understand.
"Emotions are like this. Whether you understand it or not, they are there and affect you all the time." Tiancheng smiled, "You should grow up, Susu."
Su Xin was silent for a while, then turned to ask Lafei, "So when you said you would be 'responsible' for me just now, it was because... you felt that you loved me, so you had desires for me, and under the influence of desire, you... united with me?"
Rafi's face was pale, and she didn't know what to say under everyone's gaze. The little commander's probing eyes were free of any impurities, indicating that before this, the commander had no desire for her, which made her feel very panicked.
"If Rafi tells this...will the commander continue to allow Rafi to get close to her?"
"If Rafi nods...will the Commander start to keep his distance from Rafi?"
T... Can the Commander really accept this?"
"Can the Commander really... accept Laffite?"
"If not...what should Rafi do?"
"...You'll die."
"I'll be so upset."
"Rather than betting on this uncertain option, it's better to... reject it."
"...At least Rafi can stay with the commander."
"...That's good."
"..."
"That's good."
So, under the gaze of Commander Su Xiao and the other ship girls, Lafite forced out an extremely awkward smile, "...No."
"Lafei... just thought that I accidentally hurt the commander..."
"What can Rafi...know?"
"Rafi... wu... Rafi is just a child... just a child..."
"Rafi likes the Commander... like a sister... a sister..."
"Lafite...Lafite... oooh..."
Everyone looked silently at the destroyer who was choking and forcing himself to say things against his will, not knowing what to do now.
Lafite didn't want to cry. It was just a few words. What was there to cry about? Is it difficult to lie to people? Especially, lying to someone like Su Xin who knew nothing, it was easy.
But for some reason, the lies she forced herself to tell made Lafite feel distressed. Every time she said more, she felt more pain. In the end, she was in so much pain that she couldn't cry, but she still couldn't stop her intermittent words.
"Rafi doesn't have...that kind of thought..."
"Commander...don't...wu...don't leave me..."
"Just like now..."
"Command—"
Su Xin leaned over and took the sobbing Lafite into her arms, not caring whether her snot and tears had dried or whether her chest hurt.
"Don't cry," she said.
"Even if it's true, it's nothing."
"This is my problem, not your fault."
"I don't understand these things, so I need to confirm them over and over again before I choose to believe them."
"I know I have always been stupid and never understood the inner meaning of what you said and did."
"I just need some time to try to accept it all."
"I won't leave you." She touched Rafi's head, "We will always be together, right?"
"So stop crying and give me some time, okay?"
Rafi sobbed and nodded in the little conductor's arms.
Su Xiao's tone became gentler, "So, tell me clearly... You like me, right? Do you love me?"
"...like."
"Is that so..." Su Xin smiled, and when she looked up, her confused and helpless eyes looked at the silent sisters around her, but she muttered softly:
"So good..."
Chapter 226 Commander Su Xiao can’t figure it out
What is love?
Su Xin's understanding of this word has always been conceptual. She knows that this is a kind of emotion that can be divided into many types and categories.
She has received all-round care and love from her parents. There are no additional conditions for this preferential treatment. Just because she is their child, Su Xin can understand and experience what love between relatives is like.
She had read many books and observed many people, so she could roughly understand the determination of the protagonist in the book to go through fire and water for his friends, or the action of writing answers for the classmate who couldn't answer the questions in real life.
These are all friendship.
But Su Xin didn't understand what love between partners was.
She has seen in many places how all kinds of people define and describe love. Some people are happy and proud of it, and can gain incomparable happiness and satisfaction from a simple interaction with the other person.
sense.
She has also seen some people worrying and hurting themselves for the so-called love, or feeling dull after the passion faded, or realizing too late that they were happy, which led to the collapse of the relationship.
Many people sing praises of love, believing that their significant other is the last piece of the puzzle that fills their lives. However, many people also despise it, believing that it only brings them one painful memory after another.
But Su Xin knew that these were not absolute. People who cheered in the last second might change their mind in the next second, and people who usually looked down on it might fall in love in the next second.
Su Xin had always been just an observer, trying to understand it objectively, but it was not until the end that she discovered that this illusory feeling seemed to be just a scam against the authorities.
Love produces a variety of chemicals that will make your heart beat faster and your face flush, as if all the blood in your body is concentrated in your brain, making it impossible for you to think seriously and just immerse yourself in this emotional carnival brought about by hormones.
Inextricable.
But Commander Su Xiao believes that these are just illusions, which exist among most people who claim to fall in love at first sight.
Or maybe you are attracted by the other person's beautiful appearance, or some words and actions that suit your hobbies. These simple points trigger the secretion of hormones, making you blush, your heart beat fast, and you can't breathe. Do you think this
is love.
But hormones will not always be there. The strangeness and emptiness after the emotions subside often brings about the end of a relationship. This is also the reason why Su Xin does not believe in love at first sight.
