Akagi didn't think there was anything bad about it. She had always been vindictive. Compared to the innocence and relief of the rag doll, she preferred the hatred that continued in the eyes.
Akagi doesn't like to forgive others. If they lied, they lied. If they did it, they did it. Even if there are many reasons afterwards, she can't erase the grudge.
It’s okay if it’s a small matter, but if it’s something she cares about, the resentment will not be easily eliminated.
But what does this have to do with Su Xin? Akagi likes her so much, and now they are even closer. Akagi believes that the little commander will never let her down.
"Commander? It's already past eleven o'clock. Are we going to eat?"
Su Xin looked up at Chicheng for a long while, as if she had something to say. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded, "Okay, let's... buy something and eat on the lawn in the rest area?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Commander."
There were a lot of people in the amusement park, but the temperature was relatively low, and there were obviously not many couples willing to stand outside in the cold wind to bask in the sun, which made Akagi and Su Xin stand out.
One has a charming face and a great figure, while the other has delicate facial features and a cool and pleasant personality. Such a combination will become the center of attention no matter where they are placed.
Seeing that the two people were dressed similarly and they were both women, the probability of them being sisters was quite high. The sight of them eating sandwiches while sitting on the tablecloth made people's appetites grow. Many passers-by who came with their friends could not wait any longer.
Passerby A: "Excuse me, miss, do you know where the road on the left leads to?"
Akagi: "Stupid bug, you're blocking the sunlight, why don't you get out of here?"
Passerby B: "Hi, everything in the store is sold out. Can I have a meal with you? I'll pay for it. Just treat it to a meal for you two sisters."
Akagi: "If you're blind, go to a haunted house and find a pair of eyes."
Passerby C: "We want to go to the water park as a group, but we are short of two people. If you are interested, can you help us?"
Akagi grinned at the man, then kicked him out.
Su Xin adapted well. She used to refuse politely, but now she just pretended not to hear and ate the sandwich in small bites, like a hamster chewing peanuts, which made people feel itchy.
She listened to the endless stream of people chatting her up around her, but she was thinking about Akagi.
Su Xin felt that she needed to talk to Akagi. How could a decent person say that he liked Sachiko, who had a large part of her tongue cut off? And considering the age of the little girl, the doll should be the key option for a good ending.
Coupled with Akagi's long-standing pathological possessiveness, it is obvious that his psychological problems have become very serious, and leaving him alone is obviously not a good idea.
"...Huh? Classmate Su?"
Su Xin heard a woman shouting, but she didn't pay attention. With her personal connections, she knew she wasn't being called out to her. Besides, she had graduated for almost two years, so how could she be a classmate?
"Uh, did I make a mistake? They do look alike... Ah! Wait for me, what if I get lost?"
Akagi, who kept giving others a bad look, could no longer bear it. Su Xin glanced at her, quickly finished her meal in a few bites, and then pulled her to a secluded place.
Before coming in, the commander looked at the map and knew that the open space around the bungee jumping project was relatively spacious and there wouldn't be many people participating, making it a perfect place for a chat.
So she took Akagi to the bungee jumping area. When they arrived, they found that there were indeed not many people. There were even quite a few wooden benches, probably for people to rest and watch the bungee jumping.
Su Xin pulled Chicheng to sit down. There was some distance between them, but their hands wrapped in talisman paper were still held together and fell in the middle of the empty seat.
Looking at the tourists jumping down from the high platform not far away with screams, Su Xin was distracted for a moment, then spoke softly.
"…Sister Akagi, can you tell me something about your past?"
"Hmm? Of course, my commander, what do you want to know? Akagi will tell you everything~"
"What happened between you and Sister Tiancheng?"
Akagi was stunned and remained silent for a long time. Then he tightened the little hands wrapped in his palms, leaned back in the chair and began to tell the past in a soft voice.
"Well, my sister and I have a very good relationship. We have had it since the beginning. I mean, when we were still just one ship."
"Before the disaster, because the construction took so long, my sister often cheered me up and told me some irrelevant stories to make that time less boring."
"Then...she lied to me."
"She lied to me and said her injury would heal soon."
"She lied to me and said that the workers were dismantling the hull to better repair the keel."
"She lied to me and said... In the future, we would go to see the ocean and sky outside the port together, keep company with the seabirds flying from different places, and sing the nursery rhymes she taught me with the whales at the bottom of the sea."
"My sister made me many, many promises and expressed many, many aspirations, but none of them could be realized."
"...because she's dead."
"My sister lied to me. I actually hate her. I really, really hate her. But she is my sister. I can't get angry with her, so I can only cry."
"I cried from day to night, and slept outside when I was tired of crying. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't see a single star in the sky, nor a single bird song on the shore, let alone the nursery rhymes sung by whales..."
"Well... I was such a loser when I was a kid. Later... Kaga came to me and... scolded me."
"She said I was childish, cowardly, and unable to shoulder the responsibilities of the Sakura Empire. She was slandering my sister."
"I had an argument with her and we almost got into a fight. But I felt that even if we did, I probably wouldn't be able to beat her, so I didn't dare to do anything. Um... pretty cowardly, huh?"
"Anyway, after she finished scolding me, she left. Then she came back the next day and scolded me for several days in a row."
"Then I figured it out. Kaga was right. Only weak people would stay where they are and wait to be eliminated. The truly strong ones would have already been at the forefront of the team."
"They enjoy fame, prestige, privileges... everything belongs to the powerful."
"So I have to become stronger and take everything I want. Whether they give it to me voluntarily or I snatch it away by force, what I get is the most real thing."
"With this belief, I did a lot of things, and that's how the 'glorious First Air Force' and the 'invincible mobile force' came about."
"...You too." Akagi leaned back in his chair, looking at the figure falling rapidly from the platform, and suddenly lost interest. "I wanted it, but no one was willing to give it to me, so I stole it."
"I don't think I've done anything wrong. Possessing something is much more important than having a reputation."
"Commander, I want you. I want you to belong to me alone, but obviously, I can't do that. I have to settle for the next best thing."
"I hope there is a place for Akagi in your heart. After all, my sister occupies half of Akagi's heart, and you fill up the rest."
"My sister always says that I am different from her and I am wrong. Let me reflect on this."
"But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I want you, and that means I like you. There's no difference between the two, and the end result is the same."
As Chicheng spoke, he turned sideways, gently tugged at Su Xin with his hand wrapped in talisman paper, and moved his face very close to hers, his clear red eyes looking directly into Su Xin's dark pupils.
"I want you, which means I like you, understand?"
As he spoke, Akagi Kyon closed his eyes and slowly leaned towards those soft pink lips. When he was about to touch them, Su Xin came to her senses and dodged them, leaving a red lip print on her fair face.
"...It's time to go home, Akagi-nee."
Akagi chuckled, but could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. She slowly retreated to her original position, looked at the man and woman who were hugging each other in fear on the platform, and sighed.
"......it is good."
Chapter 572: Betrayal (3 in 1)
Commander Su was not very happy about the invitation to the amusement park when he left the house, and on the way back, there was one more unhappy person.
Not long after they finished lunch, they lost interest in subsequent activities and simply took a taxi back to the hotel to calm down.
The driver who took them to the amusement park was a talkative one, chattering about everything on the way. But now he was replaced by a quieter one, causing the atmosphere in the car to drop to the bottom.
Su Xin leaned against the door, leaning against the back of the chair, while Akagi sat at the other end. Their tightly wrapped hands fell in the middle, looking like a young couple who were having a quarrel but were unwilling to go into a cold war.
At least that's what the taxi drivers think.
However, Su Xin, one of the parties involved, obviously did not mean that. She actually hoped that Akagi would loosen his hands as soon as possible. After clenching her fists for several hours, her fingers had become stiff.
Thinking back to what she heard while sitting on the bench, Su Xin actually believed it, because there was no need for Akagi to lie about such a thing. According to the routine of the TV series, this was obviously a good opportunity to gain sympathy and pity.
But sympathy is sympathy, and the commander still takes principles very seriously.
She did feel sorry for Akagi's experience, but if you look at it seriously, which ship girl's past is not worthy of her sympathy? Didn't Helena witness Rafi's unstoppable battle and sinking?
As for the enterprise known as "Big E", its service career can be described as "legendary", but it was retired within two years after the end of the war and was eventually sold and dismantled by the Navy.
Whose past can be said to be good? Whose ending can be described as "perfect"?
Su Xin did not deny Chicheng's tragic past, but she was very clear about it. She could show mercy and make amends in many ways, but she just could not accept compromise.
When it comes to matters of the heart, Commander Su is very sensitive and resists any deliberate approach or negotiation. She feels that such people always have ulterior motives.
Su Xin doesn't have any big ambitions. She likes to live in her own small circle. Anyone who approaches her with bad intentions will be regarded as a potential threat, and she will be on guard from the moment they meet.
In her case, Akagi is like this, Atago is like this, not to mention the newly arrived Taihou, they do not hide their desire for pleasure at all.
The three of them were the type who became close as soon as they met. Their initial favorability was so high, so high that it was inexplicably high. Su Xin subconsciously felt that this was wrong and always wanted to distance herself from these uncertain factors.
Akagi said that she liked the little commander, but she had had this thought since the first day they met. It seemed strange no matter how she thought about it. Su Xin was suspicious and didn't want to take it to heart.
The three ship girls who had gone through so much trouble to join Commander Su Xiao were the rabbit he met when he first arrived at the port, a patient who had suffered a lot, and an elder sister who was kind and gentle.
They all spent countless thoughts and time on Su Xin, working slowly step by step, and finally they were able to see her blossom. How could this be compared to the joy of seeing Su Xin at first sight like Chicheng?
"Besides...what Akagi-nee-san said just proves that she just wants to get me, right?"
"The two situations of liking something and liking someone are of course different. In the end, it's the possessive desire that's at work...
Su Xin glanced at Chicheng who was keeping silent with his eyes downcast. For no reason, she felt a surge of anger in her heart. It wasn't big, but it made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Recalling the other party's previous toughness and this time's ridiculous behavior, the little commander became even more annoyed. He always felt that all the closeness was false and Mu Lian's words were all fake. Even the clothes on his body were not so pleasing to the eye.
Seeing the taxi passing by a shopping mall, Su Xin simply asked the driver to pull over with a stern face.
Akagi was in a low mood and was completely confused after hearing this. She turned around and saw that the commander had no intention of discussing it with her. She paused and changed the destination with the driver.
Su Xin had so much supplies in her pocket that she couldn't see the limit. Just as she was about to pay, Akagi gently pushed her waist and squeezed her out of the car. "Commander, I'll do it."
The young commander did not insist and opened the door to go out. However, because his hand was held by someone, he had to stand aside and wait for Akagi to pay.
The driver handed over the payment code, thought for a moment and whispered: "If you're angry, just coax him a little. Someone has to bow his head first..."
The arrogant and conceited Chicheng sneered at this, got out of the car after paying the money, and when the car drove away, she turned around and held Su Xin's hand.
Commander~Did Akagi do something wrong?"
"......No."
"Then why do you look unhappy? If it's those pests who are bothering you... then I'm going back to them now!
Su Xin also knew that her anger was without reason. Perhaps she just felt that Akagi's kindness was as unrealistic as a castle in the air without the support of a process.
I got off the car suddenly just to go to the store to buy some clothes and return all the things that belonged to Akagi.
But of course this couldn't be said directly, so Su Xin shook her head and said, "I just suddenly wanted to wear the clothes I like."
"Then buy it. Akagi has saved up a lot of wife books. It doesn't matter if you buy dozens of them. Do you need Akagi to give the commander some advice?"
"..No need." Commander Su pretended not to hear, picked up a casual outfit, paid with paper money before Akagi paid, and then turned around and walked out, "Go back."
Akagi had no choice but to obey her.
The two of them hailed a taxi and returned to the place where they took the bus in the morning. It was not yet two o'clock in the afternoon. If they went back to sleep, they might have to lie down with Akagi, and Su Xin was not very willing to do that.
After searching for a long time, I simply headed towards the nearest milk tea shop.
Perhaps because the place wasn’t busy enough, there weren’t many couples in the store and there were still empty seats, so the little commander went to the counter and casually ordered a cup of milk tea, asking for less sugar.
Akagi had never drunk this kind of thing before, and looked at Su Xin with an inquiring look, but was rejected. He had no choice but to point to one at random and pay for it.
The two of them sat on the sofa with their hands tied together. In order not to appear abrupt, Su Xin had to pick up a book from the store and let Akagi stick to her.
"Commander... why do you want to read a book? Is it better than Akagi?"
"Ah."
"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, right? Although we didn't have a lot of fun at the amusement park, we have an agreement, right? We can discuss where to go after we get back..."
"Just stay at home."
Akagi was frustrated and had a headache. He had no idea what he had done to displease the other person. He had clearly acted weak and pitiful, but judging from the results, it seemed that the relationship was getting worse and worse.
She had limited patience and after she coaxed the little girl a few times, she didn't see her smile. So she simply put on a gloomy face and looked at the various people outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
"They are my people, so you can be angry if you want."
"As long as I get the ownership, I won't have to worry about it being snatched away by others in the future...
"It doesn't matter how you feel, the result is what matters."
"..."
F... Tsk, you said that my liking is not liking, the Commander is really nitpicking, really...
Su Xin, who was flipping through a book, suddenly let out a soft hiss and subconsciously pulled her hands away, but Chicheng tied them tightly and used quite a bit of force when squeezing them, so how could she break free?
"Ah... Commander, I'm sorry, Akagi didn't mean it... Does it hurt? Can Akagi help you rub it?"
