After not being able to withstand two waves of attacks, he was dragged out of the door with a helpless look on his face by Ruyue, who was smiling happily.
Su Xin reminded him to be careful and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, in terms of age, little Zeppelin is also a child. He just experienced too many drastic changes in a short period of time. She has always hoped that he could be happier, and it is obviously more appropriate for Ruyue to take care of him.
As for Eldridge, Su Xin discovered that she seemed to have not been with Ju Gaogao for a long time.
In the past, this Pikachu would often stick to him, but he didn't know since when, the frequency of its appearance became much lower.
It wasn't that unfamiliar. After all, by raising her head high and tilting it, Su Xin adjusted her sitting position very naturally.
The sense of distance that had arisen during this period was more like Ju Gaogao deliberately leaving her space. The reason was not difficult to guess, after all, the battle for the marriage ship was still ongoing.
Su Xin didn't want to delay it too long. Although this was a very important matter, it obviously affected the other ship girls in the port to some extent.
She wanted to identify and weigh the issues, but she was always looking ahead and behind, especially afraid of losing one thing while gaining another. If she wanted to get the best outcome, she naturally had to weigh more things.
However, there is actually a vague conclusion, but the commander is afraid of causing more changes, so he dare not think about it too much.
Everything is ready, except for an opportunity. The ship girls are waiting, and Su Xin is also waiting.
"As for now..." Su Xin gently stroked the hair that was raised high on her legs, lost in thought, "I hope peace can last for a while..."
"boom-"
The young commander heard a muffled sound outside, and the board under his buttocks vibrated for a while before it barely regained stability.
Just as she was about to go out to ask, she heard Ruyue's voice mixed with joy.
"Wow... there are so many fish! Little Zeppelin you are really smart... your sister will definitely be very happy!"
The young commander had a rough guess in his mind and did not go out. After a while, he saw Ruyue walking in holding little Zeppelin's hand.
"Sister, we found a lot of fish."
Little Zeppelin glanced helplessly at his friend who had let the secret slip, then looked at the commander who had no intention of blaming him, and thought to himself, "Just spoil her."
"You'll regret it when you blow up the bathtub with thunder next time."
Su Xin really doesn't have so many thoughts. She is a selfish person, but at the same time she is an extremely altruistic person. As long as it does not affect her principles, she will do whatever makes her happy.
"Go home and let Sister Yixian cook for you."
"Uh-huh!"
Royal Ark rarely spoke, "Can you keep the fish head for me to practice with? Miss Hood has been asking me to study hard recently, saying that it is a necessary skill..."
Su Xin imagined the classic royal dishes, opened her mouth but declined.
Royal Ark had no regrets. The happiness she had gained today was beyond expectation. The injury to her ankle was obviously what made her most satisfied. Nothing else mattered.
After the noise, the children settled down and huddled around Su Xin, whispering to each other and rubbing their eyes to feel sleepy.
Not long after, a familiar voice came from outside. It was from the ship girls who had contacted them before.
Su Xin reached out and poked Eldridge's soft face. Seeing her open her eyes, she whispered, "Are you going home to eat fish?"
Eldridge stretched his waist, looked at the commander quietly for a few breaths, and then reached out his hand.
"......hug."
Su Xin couldn't laugh, but she was in a good mood.
So she readily took the initiative to embrace the child's soft body, and at Ruyue's request, "You're so cunning, I want one too," she rubbed the child's face, in return for a crisp "giggle" laugh.
Royal Ark, who was sitting opposite, covered his ankle and stared blankly.
"Is this... this the little angel? I think you should stop learning from Miss Hood, right?"
Chapter 470 Model
"Morning, little Akagi."
"Well, good morning, Dad Ke and Mom Hai." Su Xiaozhi greeted the two of them smoothly, then paused, as if thinking hard for a while, before continuing.
"...Good morning, aunt."
Phoenix, who was hugging his chest, was angry, "Hey! What are you yelling about! Don't bring me into the role so easily!"
"...Mom's sister should be called aunt."
Helena's cheeks turned slightly red and she coughed lightly, "Ahem, stop being so funny, everyone has already left. If we delay any longer, it will be time for lunch."
Phoenix glanced at his sister and muttered quietly, "The water that has been spilled not only favors the object, but also points to the object... Humph, anyway, I am at the bottom of the family, right?
"Ahaha... shall we set off first? The other ship girls are watching..." Cleveland scratched his head, looked around, and felt a little embarrassed.
Phoenix turned around and saw that there were indeed quite a few unfamiliar ship girls around, who were sorting out their equipment while quietly eating some people's food.
Although he usually behaves in a somewhat rough manner and has a carefree personality, being watched by others is never a pleasant thing, so Phoenix hurriedly led the three of them to set sail.
Since the commander's speed was much slower than theirs, they walked for a distance and discussed briefly before preparing to sail with Su Xin on their backs as before.
Cleveland took off his coat and stretched his body. "Let me do it? I mean... well, I'm not used to it. Xiao Akagi, why don't you put on your coat first? It will be windy later."
Su Xin shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary. She untied her scarf and stretched her neck to show Cleveland the clothes underneath. "I have warm clothing. It's okay."
"Is that so? Then you must wear your scarf properly, okay?" Cleveland said as he lowered his body and motioned Su Xin to jump up.
Helena chuckled and patted Cleveland on the back, "Let me do it?"
Then she smiled at Su Xin again, "After resigning from the secretary ship, I feel like I haven't talked to Su Su for a while."
Su Xin silently calculated in her mind after hearing this and found that the communication and interaction between the two of them was indeed not as much as before, but this was also the result of her deliberate efforts.
As a port treasury and a person in charge who is very generous in giving money, Commander Su Xiao naturally also provides strong support in the life and emotions of his own ship girls.
It's a rare opportunity for Ke's father and Hai's mother to finally get married. As a younger sister, she can't help in the process. She can only try to free up time for both parties after the result comes out so that they have more opportunities to spend time together.
Besides, there are quite a few ship girls in the port who are familiar with official duties. Amagi, Yixian, Miss Hood and others can all give her guidance, so her work is relatively easy.
Looking at Helena's slightly expectant eyes, Su Xin, who should have agreed in the past, shook her head this time, contrary to her usual behavior.
"Um... Sister Phoenix, can you carry me?"
Helena was stunned. Although she didn't feel disappointed, she was indeed confused. Phoenix was obviously surprised as well. He pointed at himself and asked questioningly.
"Hmm? Are you talking about me?"
Su Xin nodded under the curious gazes of the three people, "Well, is it okay?"
"Hey." Phoenix reached out and poked the little commander's cold and pale face. "What's wrong with that? It's like a piece of paper to me. It has no effect at all."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Su Xin took a small jump and Phoenix firmly hooked her legs. "Well, you still have to eat more."
The little conductor hummed twice, then quietly hugged Phoenix's neck, raised his eyes and reminded Helena and Cleveland, "Let's go? It's too late, isn't it?"
Although she was puzzled, Helena didn't want to waste time. She glanced at the commander, nodded, and walked in front side by side with Cleveland.
[Radar Scan] can accurately locate the position and even weak points of the thousand ships out of the pass, so it is obviously a better choice to let Helena go in the front row as a scout and Cleveland follow and cover.
However, having said that, given the number and strength of the Siren ships, there was no need to be on guard in advance. It would not be too late to fight when they met. Naturally, Su Xin had some selfish motives in doing this.
Phoenix found it novel and chatted with Commander Su with great interest while driving.
"Hey, why did you suddenly want me to carry you today? Are you asking me if I can be your secretary ship? I'm telling you, I can't do that."
Su Xin shrank her head to avoid the cold wind and spoke in a muffled voice, "This way I can see how they usually get along with each other."
Phoenix's smile froze and he felt terrible.
"No... you asked me to carry you on your back just so they could be together?"
"Yes."
"You...you...why should I...watch this? I've watched enough before, and I thought that with you here today, Helena would be more cautious. I didn't expect you to send me away!"
Su Xin saw through Phoenix's role as an aunt. They had talked about it on the train. It was nothing more than that she couldn't get used to the independence of the person she loved and felt empty.
This problem is easy to solve. She is already trying hard to play the role of "sister" and try to help Phoenix get out of this vicious circle as soon as possible.
Besides...she did have her own plans for doing this.
"Actually... I wanted to see how couples actually get along with each other."
Su Xin pursed her lips, a little embarrassed. "The information and descriptions found on the Internet can be summed up as 'being good to her', but this is too vague and has no reference value..."
"Oh? Oh~" Phoenix responded quickly, "So you wanted to see how they get along with each other in daily life, so you sent me out here on purpose, right?"
"...Um."
Phoenix rolled his eyes and had a new concern. "Doesn't that mean you already have a candidate? Who is it? Tell me?"
"...Not yet. I just want to learn first, in case I don't know how to do it..."
"Well, tell me now. I usually tell you everything, but I will keep this secret a secret. You have to trust me, Commander!"
Su Xin sighed, "Really not... I just have the habit of preparing a plan first... Otherwise, I won't know anything when the time comes, it would be very embarrassing, right?"
"Okay then." Phoenix pouted, "Then you watch it. I won't watch it. It makes me angry when I watch it."
Su Xin didn't force it. She just adjusted her posture and leaned the lower half of her face behind Phoenix, leaving only her bright eyes exposed, looking intently at the two people driving side by side in front of her.
Phoenix fell silent and no one spoke. For a moment, the only sound in Su Xin's ears was the sound of the wind.
She thought about it and prepared to call out the cat ears in order to eavesdrop on the daily conversation between the couple, but she didn't expect that her aunt, who was hiding her secret, spoke first.
"Tsk, really, after all this time, how come that Cleveland kid still doesn't know how to hold hands? Does he know how to do it..."
Su Xin: ....?
Chapter 471 Model 2
"call
"call-
When traveling at high speed, the wind noise in my ears is very loud, as if there are several hair dryers, making noise at the highest wind speed at the same time, which is very annoying.
In this kind of environment, let alone speaking, simply opening your mouth will fill your stomach with wind, which is really like filling your stomach with northwest wind.
Helena and Cleveland were very close to each other, and the waves generated by breaking the water surface during sailing did not cause any hindrance to them. The two of them were steady, and even the speed increased and decreased synchronously.
The wind was so strong that Cleveland's coat kept rustling, but she didn't want to zip it up, so she simply raised her hand to take it off and put it away.
Helena glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, naturally reached out and pinched the left cuff of her sleeve, then slowed down a little and moved behind Cleveland to make it easier for her to take off her clothes.
In order to avoid damage to his clothes from the strong wind, Cleveland moved quickly, twisted his body to put away his coat, and then turned his head slightly to face the wind.
"Thank you."
Helena smiled, "Always so polite."
It was unclear whether he was praising her for being polite or criticizing her for being too distant. Cleveland had never been very good at this kind of comprehension questions, so he just smiled and passed the question.
Only Helena was speechless, thinking that the other party was unromantic.
But this is not the first time that Cleveland has done this. It always gives people warmth like a little sun, but is as inflexible as the law of rising in the east and setting in the west.
Even though they have been together for a while, they still have problems communicating with each other.
Helena has a soft personality and is a bit indecisive. When she buys a towel, she always struggles with which color to choose. She is the type of person who will consider a lot.
Cleveland, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. He is confident, warm, and always cheerful. He can do anything and help with anything. He is extremely decisive when buying things and can make a decision in just a few glances without giving it too much thought.
Whenever these two were together, it always ended with Helena sighing in frustration.
In fact, before the two officially established a relationship, Helena thought that Cleveland was open-minded and spent all his time with Montpelier just to make her jealous.
Unexpectedly, when she was asked about it after they got together, Cleveland answered as a matter of course: "As the eldest sister, of course I have to be better than the younger sister."
Let’s talk about the last time I bought couple towels.
When Lafite was still living in Su Xin's room, he knew that when buying towels, he had to buy towels with matching styles and colors, and the patterns had some connection.
As a result, one day Helena took Cleveland to Mingmiao's store, and they spent almost half an hour looking around, but still couldn't pick out which set was more suitable for them.
When she turned around to ask Cleveland, he pointed to the light blue one decisively and said, "It matches your hair color better, and the texture is also very good.
Helena nodded and decided on her own model, then asked, "What about yours? Which one do you want?"
"Huh?" Cleveland looked like he was asking, "I don't need it. I bought it during a sale with Montpelier and I haven't used it for long."
Helena was embarrassed and annoyed, so she forced a towel of the same style and color on Cleveland. Later she found out that he hadn't used it yet.
