This made Sheffield speechless. It was just going to work. Was there any need to be so fussy about it? It didn't matter what you wore. Anyway, you had to wrap yourself up tightly...
"...Wait." Sheffield had an idea.
"Isn't this a great opportunity?"
Thinking of this, Sheffield took advantage of the time when Commander Su was buried in the closet and began to slowly pack up the clothes on the bed, leaving only a knee-length skirt.
The long skirt is extremely thick, and paired with the warm inner wear and cotton jacket specially prepared by Sheffield, it looks particularly warm now that it has started to snow.
As for the bottoms...she naturally had to prepare some different clothes for the little master.
When everything was ready, Sheffield slowly took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then kindly reminded: "Master, I'm sorry to bother you. What I want to say is that it's already eight o'clock."
"Eight—huh?" Su Xin paused while rummaging through the closet, then turned her head to glance at the exquisite pocket watch in the maid's hand, and suddenly panicked, "Ah, I'm going to be late!"
"You are right, so I suggest you choose your clothes within one minute and get ready within ten minutes so that I can leave time for you to eat."
For the young commander who is very young but pays special attention to health preservation, skipping breakfast is certainly not an option, but asking her to decide what to wear within one minute is obviously an extremely difficult task.
"How about... this set!"
Sheffield shook his head. "I don't think a normal person would choose to wear a non-commissioned officer's uniform in their own home, right? The master wants to give the new secretary a warning, right?"
"Hmm. What about... tracksuit?"
"You are too relaxed, Master. It will make people feel unappreciated. I thought you understood this."
Commander Su was rejected repeatedly and was obviously a little panicked. In addition, time was passing by little by little. She had no choice but to ask the maid beside her if she had any good suggestions.
"I think..." Sheffield said with a serious face, "The dress on the bed is very good."
When Su Xin first heard that she had to wear a skirt to go out, she refused, "Skirt? No, don't we have pants or something? And a skirt would be too loose, right?"
"In fact, I don't think you have the extra time to listen to my explanation now. It's already 8:05."
The little conductor was shocked, "Ah! Then... But the skirt will be very cold?"
"coat."
"I…I'm still cold!"
"Qiu Yi."
"Well... I can't wear pants underneath, right? It would be weird to wear a skirt like this, right?"
"...Hehe." Sheffield smiled faintly and took out something from the space, "Pants, warm, all suitable. 99
Commander Su stared in disbelief, "Is this... leggings?"
"Master, it's eight nine."
“…Bring it here.”
The white rabbit with a ponytail ran very fast, but unfortunately it took too much time, so she had to skip the meal and chose to go directly to the command room on an empty stomach.
When she arrived at the door of her destination, she took out her cell phone, turned on the screen and checked the time. It was 8:27. Fortunately, she was not late.
Just as Rafi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to knock on the door, she heard a somewhat chaotic sound of footsteps approaching from behind her. She turned her head curiously and happened to meet the eyes of the person who came.
The two were stunned when they saw each other. Suddenly, they didn't know what to say to each other. As a result, they stood outside in the cold wind for a long time.
After Sheffield arrived slowly, he took out the spare key and led the two of them in.
It's a pity that even though they were blocked from the cold wind outside, the black-haired Su Xin couldn't get familiar with the white-haired Lafite. As soon as they entered, they stood silently on both sides, glancing at each other from time to time with wandering eyes.
"...Commander's legs are so thin."
"Why did Lafite suddenly wear a ponytail? I don't think I've seen it before..."
"Commander, you look good in girls' clothes, but..."
"...I'm a little uncomfortable, but it looks like he's going to be more energetic, that is..."
"...commander."
"...Rafi."
The two people who spoke in unison were both stunned. They waited silently for a few breaths, and when they found that the other party had no intention of speaking, different voices sounded at the same time again.
"The Commander is very handsome..."
“Lafite is very beautiful…”
The two paused again. In order to avoid speaking at the same time, Su Xin and Lafei could only finish their words first.
"Rafi will work hard..."
"I will work hard..."
This kind of coincidence happened three times in a row. I don’t know whether to say that there was no tacit understanding or that they were in sync. At least both parties were in a good mood.
Although the little commander was in a paralyzed state and couldn't smile, Lafite curled the corners of his lips softly.
"...Good morning...Commander."
"...Well, good morning, Secretary-ship, I...I brought breakfast."
"...Thanks."
"...You're welcome."
Chapter 420 Prologue
The work of the secretary ship is more complicated and tedious than Rafi had imagined.
At first she thought she only needed to do some simple sorting, such as separating all the received documents, commissions, letters, etc., and then stacking them in small piles on Su Xin's desk.
As a result, when Rafi really got started, she found that she couldn't even carry out the first step because she couldn't read the content of the document at all.
Lafite's eyes were dizzy from reading those long and densely packed words. Before she could read two lines, her body began to feel sleepy.
In addition, there was no chance to sleep in every morning, so Lafite, who sleeps too much, fell asleep easily. It was obvious that he was not used to this new job yet.
Fortunately, Su Xin was very efficient in handling her work. Even in the early stages when Lafite was not yet useful, she was able to finish all matters in one morning.
Rafi, who loved to doze off, was very embarrassed about this, but it was her body's instinct and it was obviously difficult for her to resist. It would probably take her some time to adapt.
It’s a pity that as the second candidate for the rotating secretary ship, Lafite’s length of service is destined not to be particularly long. Therefore, during this period of time, how to balance the time spent at work and at leisure is the first issue that Lafite has to consider.
On the first day, Lafite accidentally dozed off and wasted half a day working. When there was no work in the afternoon, Su Xin went straight back to her room, as if she had something to say to Sheffield alone.
The next day, Lafite discovered that Commander Su had changed back into her old outfit, wrapping herself tightly in loose, soft long sleeves and trousers, and had obviously given up on the leggings.
While feeling a little regretful, Lafite planned to make good use of the time to spend more time with Su Xin. After all, the other party's habit of getting nervous whenever she touched him still hadn't been corrected, and this was probably the biggest gap between them.
It’s a pity that Su Xin is always serious during working hours, and Lafite doesn’t dare to disturb her easily, but it’s difficult to make an appointment with Su Xin outside of working hours.
Coupled with Lafite's inherent "catnip" phenomenon, the little commander always subconsciously keeps his distance and avoids overly intimate actions, resulting in no substantial progress for Lafite in the past two days.
By the third day, Lafite had finally made up her mind to fully perform the duties of a secretary ship while at work, and to try to get along with Commander Su after work.
Rafi believes that the problem of "catnip" can be solved by high-frequency contact, which is similar to the effect of "desensitization therapy". We can't just keep dragging it out, right?
But the secretary never expected that not long after she made the arrangements, Su Xin suddenly put on her coat and stood up from behind the desk.
"...What's wrong?"
"Well...something happened suddenly." Su Xin looked at the gloomy sky outside and put on a scarf. "Eugen from the Military Police suddenly asked me to meet him. He said there was something important."
Rafi was stunned. She didn't understand what the two of them needed to talk about. She thought about it and didn't ask any more questions. She just asked: "...What about me?"
The young commander didn't hesitate. "Are you free? I'll take care of the work when I get back. Can you come with me first?"
"okay."
Su Xin nodded, then turned to discuss with Sheffield: "It would be fine if the two of us go. I don't know what she's going to say. I'm afraid I'll appear ostentatious if there are too many people. Is that okay, Sister Sheffield?"
The maid still believed in Lafite's character and fighting ability, so she didn't bother to argue and simply replied, "Of course."
After getting the approval, the little commander took the lead and walked out. Although she was frightened by the cold wind on her face, Eugen's appointment was close and his words were vague, so she had to speed up to avoid being late.
The two of them took some time to get a taxi, and then went straight to the meeting place Eugen mentioned. Judging from the address, it seemed to be an Internet-famous coffee shop. No idea why important things had to be discussed in a coffee shop with so many people coming and going.
Su Xin couldn't figure it out, and she was too lazy to think about it. She didn't think there would be any danger in going out this time. After all, it was quite possible that Eugen asked her out to play under the pretext of discussing something.
When they arrived at the place, Commander Su looked at the slightly crowded coffee shop and suddenly felt a little timid. However, the person inside seemed to have seen her from a distance and was half-standing and waving at her.
There was no choice. The arrow had to be shot. Su Xin could only put on the mask and then pulled the secretary ship inside.
As it was the weekend, there were many people shopping in the mall nearby, and there were also many people in the coffee shop. Commander Su had to go around left and right to get to Eugen's side in a zigzag route through the customers.
before.
This is a very simple thing for Su Xin.
After walking around and around to the seat at the back of the cafe, Su Xin realized that Eugen, who had arrived at some point in time, had put down his porcelain cup and was staring at her without blinking.
The specific reasons were still unclear, so Su Xin didn't ask too much and could only start with simple things.
"Sister Eugen, is there something you want me to do?"
"Hmm? Are you in such a hurry?" Eugen, who was dressed in casual clothes, had a curvaceous figure and her long silver hair was casually draped behind her back, looking unusually relaxed. "Don't you want to order first? I highly recommend this latte."
"No." Su Xin shook her head and pulled out the wooden chair next to her, letting Lafei sit in it. She then sat upright in her seat. "You said you had something to talk to me about... Are you going to talk to me here?"
"Don't worry, why didn't Helena come today? Isn't she your secretary ship?"
Commander Su Xiao paused and responded, "She is on vacation recently, and Lafei is temporarily acting as the secretary ship."
"Oh~Is that so..." Eugen raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised, "Well...then you brought the right person."
Eugen took out a map, spread it on the table, and began to circle the map with a pencil.
"I want to tell you that this year's winter activities will start earlier. As for the regional allocation... I just got the news that you should be assigned to... um... I'll find out where 'H City' is..."
Su Xin waited for a few moments, and seeing that Eugen hadn't found it yet, she kindly reached out and pointed to the tiny font that read "H City".
"here."
"Oh, right." Eugen quickly glanced at Su Xin, who looked calm, and continued, "I guess you'll have to go to 'H City' to provide support this time."
H City is quite far from here, and the temperature is low, which will stabilize at around minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter. It is a place that is very incompatible with the little commander who has a cold body.
However, if what Eugen said was true, it wouldn't be long before Su Xin would receive a notice from the Navy branch. Even if she was unwilling, she would have to pack enough clothes and set off there.
But if Eugen called her out today just to tell her this, it would be a little unusual, so Su Xin asked, "Anything else to say? Where's Ayanami?"
"Ayanami? Oh, I changed my shift today, so I'm taking this opportunity to come and see you. Of course, she's still at work. As for other things... I really don't have anything else. I hope you can buy me a drink?"
Su Xin shook her head. Seeing that Eugen had nothing to say further, she stood up, tightened her clothes, and said goodbye with Lafite.
Eugen stared at Su Xin as she moved through the crowd very smoothly at an unhindered speed, and then gradually disappeared.
"Hmm...are your vision and reflexes intact..."
Eugen muttered to himself, "So the blindness is fake?"
Chapter 421 Undercurrent
"I'm back~"
"Ah, Eugen, you're back. How was your half-day vacation?"
Eugen walked towards his office with a cup of coffee from a popular coffee shop and replied casually, "Not bad. I confirmed a few issues, so I'm satisfied now."
"Oh~" The ship girl who is also a member of the military police looked at Eugen and joked meaningfully, "Could it be that you are having a good chat with your crush...huh?"
Eugen took a sip of the coffee in his hand through a paper straw and walked towards the second floor. "Hmm... guess?"
Leaving his giggling colleague behind, Eugen exhaled lightly, took a deep sip of coffee, and then walked towards his office with satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, when she passed an open door, she was suddenly stopped by the person sitting inside.
"Eugen."
"...Hmm?" Eugen turned his head and looked into the room in confusion. When he saw the person who spoke, he was not surprised. "Oh, Captain Ayanami, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry to go back and change clothes. It's not good to wear casual clothes in the bureau.
Ayanami, who was wearing a uniform, had a cold face. After staring at Eugen for a few breaths, she suddenly asked her to come in, "Close the door for a moment. I have something to ask you... "
"Um...can't you wait until I change my clothes first?"
Ayanami shook her head.
"Okay." Eugen walked into the room with coffee, closed the door, and sat on the sofa without any hesitation. "Captain Ayanami, what do you want to say?"
