Thinking of this, the chestnut-haired woman walked to the closet in her pajamas, looked at the various clothes hanging inside, and without much hesitation, reached out and took out a red wide-sleeved robe and a matching corset, then walked into the bathroom.
She first adjusted the water temperature, then took off her pajamas, and began to clean herself carefully under the hot water from the shower.
After everything was done, the woman put on her robe, tightened her waist, hung the accessories around her waist, took out a piece of [Saratoga], and carefully polished her nails.
After making sure that her polished nails were not harmful at all, she smiled with satisfaction, took out a pure silver frosted ring from the ship's space, and carefully and firmly put it on her ring finger.
"Hmm... I wonder if it will be possible today?"
She used the key to open the door of the command room. As she expected, there was no suspicious person inside. Taihou of Sakura Empire was a good and obedient child today.
The decoration in the command room has not changed much, and the style is still serious, but it seems that a lot of items have been added without people noticing.
There is the small cherry blossom bonsai on the desk, the jade fox ornament in the middle of the coffee table, the suspense novels on the bookshelf, and even the wooden comb that was thrown on the sofa and forgotten to be put away.
Looking at the comb with one or two strands of brown hair remaining between the teeth, she pondered for a moment and murmured, "It actually sheds hair. It seems... I still need to pay attention to the maintenance of my tail."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him was pushed open, and a slightly shorter figure stood at the door and paused before greeting, "Sister Tiancheng, good morning."
Tiancheng turned around, raised his hand with the white ring on it, and greeted the visitor with a smile: "Good morning, Susu, I've turned on the heating for you, but even so, you can't take off your clothes, okay?"
"I know." Commander Su Xin closed the door and walked to her familiar seat a little embarrassedly. "Today's work... well... not much, it's just right to finish it quickly, so I can go help Sister Yixian later."
Small matters like work have never been difficult for the experienced Tiancheng. Compared with this, she is more concerned about the young commander's evening arrangements.
"Help? I remember that on Donghuang's New Year's Eve, we just get together to have a meal... Do we have to perform lion dances and set off firecrackers in the port area?"
"Eh? No, I just need to prepare some delicious food, and... some red envelopes to be distributed to the destroyers in the port area, so I have to prepare the red envelopes in advance."
Tiancheng nodded in understanding, and then lifted his hair with the hand wearing a white ring, ready to start working. However, the young commander opposite seemed a little out of shape, with a red face, as if he was shy.
Tian Cheng, who knew the reason, asked maliciously, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
"Um... No, sister, you know I'm shy, why do you always show me the ring on purpose..."
"Because I'm very proud." Tiancheng simply opened his palm and showed Commander Su Xiao a picture of the ring in his hand. "This is what I treasure most, of course I have to show it off."
Su Xin has always been tolerant of the occasional childish behavior of the wedding ship, so she nodded randomly and stopped interfering, intending to start today's work.
Unexpectedly, the other party refused to accept the offer and immediately asked, "Susu, what about you? Didn't you wear it? Am I so shameful to be seen...?"
Commander Su sighed as if he was used to it, and stretched out his hand that was tucked into his sleeve. There was also a ring on the cold white skin of his ring finger.
"You know I'm wearing it, but you still ask me again every time..."
Tiancheng didn't explain much, just smiled with unusual satisfaction, and then reminded: "It's time to work, Susu."
"...good."
The food eaten on New Year's Eve was naturally carefully prepared by Yixian, Ninghai and Pinghai. There was nothing wrong with its appearance or taste, and everyone in the port area enjoyed the meal very much.
I had thought that this year we would just greet each other and give out red envelopes, but I didn’t expect that Tashkent, who had just arrived, was so touched after receiving the red envelopes that he insisted on having a drink with the young commander.
Everyone in Hong Kong knew that Su Xin had a low tolerance for alcohol, so no one planned to let her drink. However, Tian Cheng saw the hesitation of the commander and suggested:
"Susu, you are an adult after all. You can drink if you want in the future. Just a little bit will be fine. If you get drunk, I will send you back."
Hearing the words from the wedding ship, the young commander felt relieved. He immediately took out some beer, poured a shallow layer of it into the glass, and then clinked glasses with Tashkent and drank it.
And then... there was no more.
The little commander only knew that when she woke up, she was already in the room. Judging from the sky outside, she probably didn't sleep for long, and it should still be the middle of the night, but she didn't know the exact time.
Just as I was thinking of checking the time on my phone, Su Xin's door was pushed open.
As if he had thought of something, the young commander became nervous for a moment, but after seeing the person coming, he quietly relaxed.
"Sister Tiancheng? Did you send me back?"
"Well, your drinking capacity has not improved at all, Susu.
"Hmm... I'd better not drink it in the future. I feel like the KanColle transformation can't help me in this regard." Su Xin covered her still dizzy head and sighed, then asked: "Then why are you back, sister? It should be very late, no
Sleeping?"
"If I don't give some stubborn little fool some hangover soup, she'll have a headache tomorrow."
"Ah...thank you, sister."
Tiancheng smiled, sat down beside the bed, handed the bowl of sobering soup to the half-sitting little commander, and urged her to drink it all.
Commander Su was also not vague. He gulped down the soup in the bowl in a few big mouthfuls. After thinking for a while, he advised Tiancheng: "I'm going to wash up and go to bed. Sister, go to bed early too, right? It seems very late."
"Well, no hurry." Tiancheng put down the bowl and stretched out his hand with a silver ring. "There is soup stain at the corner of your mouth, don't move."
After hearing this, Su Xin looked up obediently and waited for Tiancheng to come and help her wipe it. Tiancheng also spoiled her, or had always spoiled her like this, and took a handkerchief to wipe the soup from the corner of her lips.
"...Um, thank you, sis."
Tian Cheng smiled dotingly, and replied with a bit of helplessness: "You keep saying 'thank you sister' and 'thank you sister' all day long, but I haven't seen you show any substantial response."
Su Xin pretended not to understand, put the empty bowl back in her hand, and covered her lips with her hands to let out a small burp, a thin sound like a kitten acting coquettishly.
The fox knew that it was useless to wait for such an ungrateful little bastard. She had to do it herself in the end. So she took advantage of the kitten being embarrassed because of "acting like a spoiled child" and pointed her finger at him.
On the lower lip.
The lips touched by the fingertips are soft and extremely elastic, as juicy as jelly, and it is quite fun to press and release them.
Tiancheng didn't want anything. He just did what he wanted for a few moments and then stopped.
The crystals on her fingertips reflected the light, looking like countless tiny diamonds, dazzling Su Xin's eyes.
"It's past midnight, it's New Year... Happy New Year, Susu. You woke up just now, so I'm the first one to wake up. What happened just now... is a New Year's gift to me. Thank you for being so generous, Susu. Have a good sleep?"
The young commander remained silent. When Tiancheng approached in confusion, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the other's saliva-stained hand. After closing the distance, he raised his head and kissed the lips that were asking for benefits.
The taste of the hangover soup still lingers in the mouth, mellow and delicious, worthy of the good intentions of the wedding ship who had spent so much time brewing it.
The cherry blossom petals separated at the touch. Su Xin, who was sober, pursed her lips and swallowed it. She blushed and retorted: "This is a New Year's gift, and also... a thank-you gift. Don't say I'm heartless anymore..."
Tiancheng smiled very gently when he heard that. He lowered his head and clasped the hand that the little commander had just held his hand with. The two identical frosted silver rings pressed tightly together.
When they let go, a thin thread was formed between the rings, which seemed crystal clear and fragile, but was actually eternal and strong.
This is a beautiful bond that belongs only to them.
ps: I drank some red wine when I was greeting people for the new year, and I was dizzy for a while, so I am a little late today. I wish you all a happy new year, em mm...good luck and may all your wishes come true!o(=·w<=) p
Chapter 429 Family Life 7
On a dark, windy night, I had to wake up because I drank too many iced drinks during the day...
It was quiet all around, with no other sound except the sound of the train moving forward.
I looked at the empty bed next to me and felt a little scared. I wanted to reach out to find my phone, but after searching for a long time, I didn’t know where it had fallen and couldn’t find it no matter how hard I looked.
There are three urgent things to do. There is really no other way. I can only go out in the dark in my slippers.
There were small lights under the aisle outside, but they could only illuminate a small area around me. I stuck my head out and looked around, and found that because of these small lights, I could not see the things around me clearly.
As you know, there are two toilets in the carriage, one on the left and one on the right. The place where I sleep is closer to the toilet on the right.
But when I looked over, I saw the indicator light above the door indicating that there was someone in the bathroom.
I felt that I would feel safer if I went to the side where there were people, but I was in such a hurry that I probably wouldn't be able to wait for her to come out, so I could only choose the other side which was longer.
The aisle is very long, really long, and with those small lights, it is even more scary. If I hadn't kept my head down, I would probably have been scared by my own reflection in the glass.
In short, I had no choice but to walk slowly to the left.
You all seemed to be asleep at that time, sleeping very soundly. I didn't feel safe at all, and I couldn't wake you up for such a small matter, so I had to bite the bullet and go.
After walking halfway, I started to get used to the silence, so I felt relieved, but then!
I saw something in a compartment up ahead...light up.
I thought one of you woke up and wanted to go to the bathroom, so I could go with her. But before I could walk over, I heard a very strange sound.
Goo...
whee…
将…
Love to eat…
But... delicious or something?
That voice was very strange, winding and sharp, and sounded very, very weird. I'm really not kidding, you would be scared if you heard it!
What are you laughing at?
I repeat, I am not kidding!
It's not a question of whether it sounds good or not, it really is that kind of... its tone is like a siren singing, with a bit of madness in its voice, very weird and scary. Fortunately, it was too dark that day and it probably didn't notice me.
I was so scared at that time, and thought that if it really didn't work, I would go back to my room first. Unexpectedly, when I was about to reach my own cubicle, I heard a strange sound from the other side which was a shorter distance away.
I'm not doubting you. I've always been honest and trustworthy and I speak my mind. The sound I heard at that time was really... strange. I even forgot the fear I felt when I heard the strange sound.
Tell me, was there anyone who messed around at night a few days ago?
Still not admitting it? I heard those voices.
Something like um...ah...hum...hurts.
If you dare to do it, you must take responsibility for it. Don't you believe in my reputation as a great journalist? How could I write anything casually? I'm just curious. It's not shameful. We are all adults. There's nothing wrong with speaking out.
Su Xin, who was not yet an adult, silently raised her hand and said, "I still have half a year to go before I become an adult."
Ruyue, who will never reach adulthood, nestled in the arms of Commander Su Xiao, and curiously asked Little Zeppelin, "Little Zeppelin, when can we become adults...?"
Little Zeppelin glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "I may still have hope, but you probably don't have much of a chance."
"Eh...so from now on, Ruyue can... ask you for New Year's money, right?"
Phoenix, leaning against the wall of the aisle carriage, only wanted to ask one thing: "So how did you handle it that day? Did you bring diapers?"
Qingye retorted angrily: "What diapers! Can you be a little more cultured and decent! Of course I held it in for half an hour, and finally went to the right side!"
Phoenix raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then your shoulder--
"Sister!" Helena covered Phoenix who kept talking, her face slightly red, "Pay attention to your image! There are children here."
"Hey! Isn't your focus too off? I've told you so much, you should be curious about at least one of the two things!" Aoba collapsed and shouted.
"Ah... Mainly... We don't think what you said is likely to happen." Phoenix said nonchalantly, "I'm keeping a close eye on Helena. Don't let someone try to do anything to you."
Helena glanced at Cleveland who shrank his head, then she blushed and angrily stepped on Phoenix.
"As for the others..." Yixian looked at Sheffield, hinting at something. After seeing him shake his head, he continued, "It's safe for now."
The person being pointed out was stunned, tilted his head and asked, "Besides Daddy Ke and Mommy Hai, is there anyone else? Um... Sister Portland?"
Portland was obviously startled when his name was suddenly called. He waved his hands in panic and said, "No...no, no, Commander, please don't...don't say anything nonsense, she, she, she, I, I..."
Changdao always felt that something was wrong with Portland. After thinking for a while, he suddenly found the problem: "Where's Indy? Aren't you always circling around her and never leaving the house?"
"Ah...she...she's angry. I made her unhappy..." Portland seemed unwilling to say more. He said goodbye in a hurry and left.
"Not as good as Hood's tea party," Nagashima commented succinctly.
She just came out to get water to make instant drinks and passed by. She thought she could hear some interesting gossip from Qingye, but she didn't expect it to be just these nonsense. She immediately went back with the mug.
With someone taking the lead, everyone stopped staying and left Qingye's cubicle to do their own things.
It was night, it was pitch black outside and it was raining. The sound of the raindrops was very small and was drowned out by the noise of the moving train.
Su Xin reached her hand out from under the quilt, rubbed her dazed eyes, then tried to move as quietly as possible and sat up from the bed.
Tonight, the maid gave her too much milk before she went to bed, causing her to suddenly get up at night and go to the bathroom.
The temperature in the carriage was not high, and Su Xin still felt cold in her pajamas. But if she took a new piece of clothing at this moment, the noise she made when putting it on might wake up the maid sleeping in the next bed.
He had been taking care of her all day and she finally had a good night's sleep. Su Xin didn't want to disturb him, so she got out of bed lightly and walked into the corridor.
After waiting for the little commander for an hour, Sheffield, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her golden eyes, propped herself up slightly and looked towards the entrance of the compartment, her expression more serious than ever before.
"...She still understands this?
Chapter 430 Family Life 8
Tonight, it was pitch dark, and the small lights in the aisle were really useless and could not help people who were afraid of the dark.
