"Like it?"
like
"......Hmm?" The curved eyelashes trembled and slowly opened. The watery and hazy pupils revealed a hint of confusion, but it also meant that the owner had woken up.
Yixian was startled, thinking that the other party had heard what he said.
She blushed and lowered her head. She was about to withdraw quietly, but the man beneath her wrapped his snake-like arms around her neck and dragged her into the soft water.
Two soft petals gently pressed against the corners of her lips, and the little commander, who was not yet fully awake, gave her a good morning kiss and a response.
"...I like it."
"...Ah, I haven't brushed my teeth yet. Um...do you want me to wipe them for you?" Su Xin raised her hand to wipe them, but found that her sister was in a daze and didn't react at all.
"...Sister Yixian?"
"Are you okay? Could it be... is it because... I, I'll get you some wet wipes!"
Yixian came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and held the little hand that had just been stretched out from the quilt, which was rarely warm.
"I'm fine. I've never been so...well."
Chapter 640 Gugu! (2 in 1
Su Xin was an overly introverted person, although she looks much better now. She can act coquettishly and cutely, and knows what to say and when.
But deep down, she is still the same awkward girl who is not good at speaking, keeps everything to herself and intends to digest it all by herself.
If [sweet talk] is a skill, and [honey talk] represents a higher level of proficiency, then she would probably only stay at [] in her entire life.
Su Xin has never liked corny words, or rather, she is not good at corny words. Even when they were establishing a relationship, she used words like "I'll try" and "I'll work hard".
She seemed to be used to being cautious and didn't dare to make promises casually. On weekdays, when facing Yixian and others, she used "thank you" more often than "like you". Even if she was very happy in her heart, she would only say "I'm very happy".
Such a piece of wood, when suddenly saying the word "like", can give people an extraordinary sense of happiness and security.
At least Yixian himself couldn't help it and held the little hand for a long time without letting go.
It was not until Lafite came out of the bathroom, Dido came home with breakfast, and Su Xin had to go wash up that she let go with a little regret.
The little commander who had been freed walked into the door with a stern face and locked it. When he was alone, a bright red blush began to spread from his ears to his face and eyes. He felt hot and embarrassed.
She was just half asleep, and in a half-awake state she kept hearing Yixian's voice asking questions in her ear. With her mind unclear, she had no defense and what was in her mind just came out of her mouth.
Even... my body started to move automatically following my thoughts.
Only after she came to her senses did she manage to calm down and try to let go, but she didn't expect Yixian to hold her hand for a long time. It seemed that the other party must have heard it.
"...I am so embarrassed."
Su Xin scooped a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face. When the heat subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly washed up, composed herself, and opened the door to go out.
Her facial features are relaxed, her expression is extremely natural, the arc of her smile is perfectly controlled, and her body movements are very smooth, which is simply impeccable.
But unfortunately, this impeccable state lasted less than ten seconds before it was broken by the soft and fragrant body that pounced on him.
Lafite hummed and moaned as he came over and hugged Su Xiaozhi's waist, rubbing his fleshy chest, and said strange words in a flat tone.
"...I want to hear what the commander says... Well, I like it..."
Su Xin couldn't hold it in and her defense broke down on the spot. All her facial features, expressions, and curved movements turned into fuel to help others warm herself up.
"You you you...what are you talking about...?!"
"Sister Yixian said... Although Lafite is not envious... Well, if you envy me, you have to listen..."
"I... I wasn't fully awake yet, so I just said what she said, so..."
Not far away, Yixian, with a smile on his face, said "hmm" softly, "So...what you just said to me doesn't count?"
"Drink? No...no..." Su Xin's pretty face flushed. She glanced at the maid who was staring at her toes, and then looked at Yixian who was holding his chin up and waiting for her explanation, "...it counts."
"That's good. Hmm... it's a pity that I didn't record it at that time. If I want to listen to it next time... I guess I'll have to wait until the end of time, right?"
Commander Su silently accepted the teasing and did not dare to refute. Now when she was asked to say it again, she really couldn't say it and could only coax Lafite.
"Next...next time for sure."
Lafite also knew that he had no chance this time, so he backed off, but secretly thought about putting the red wine cork under Su Xin's pillow. The slight smell of alcohol should be able to confuse her, right?
The "carrot" that the rabbit was thinking about gradually lost its color after it calmed down and returned to its former fair appearance, but it looked a lot more stiff.
Yixian understood that the man was just shy and thin-skinned, so he simply let him go for a walk to avoid prolonging the awkward situation.
She also thought it through. Instead of worrying about trivial things, she might as well spend some time to pry open Su Xiaozhi's soft and sweet mouth.
Su Xin naturally wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible. If she stayed any longer, she would definitely melt into the air here.
"Sister Dido."
"..."
"Sister Dido?"
"..."
Su Xin sighed, stopped walking, and tensed her body. As expected, she bumped into the daydreaming maid behind her.
"?!" Dido came back to her senses and bowed repeatedly in fear to apologize, "Yes... yes, I'm sorry! Master, it's... it's Dido who overestimated her own abilities! How dare she have physical contact with the master..."
Su Xin was confused. What was the point of touching or not? It was just a light touch. Why was there such a big reaction? "Sister, you seem very nervous today?"
"Huh?! No...no! I...I...I was just...just distracted!"
"Didn't you sleep well either?"
The maid was startled, then followed suit, lowering her head and waiting for punishment. As a result, she heard the commander urging her to go back and rest, "You can come later next time. Today is Sunday, how about taking a day off?"
"......Huh?"
"Well... I troubled you to help out in the store before. You must be tired. Go back and rest today. You can attend the tea party or something. I'm in the harbor. It's safe."
Dido opened her mouth, but her eyes unconsciously drifted to the opening and closing lips of her little master. After being stunned for a few breaths, she quickly closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"I, I, I...I'm sorry, I...I think I should...please forgive me, I...I may really need to take a day off, I'm sorry..."
Su Xin was also panicked. She hadn't said anything yet, but her maid started apologizing frantically, as if she had committed some big mistake.
There was really no point in wasting time like this, so Su Xin simply said that she wanted to go check on Guanghui and send the maid back at the same time.
Dido was flattered and nodded with red eyes. Then she followed the little commander with her doll in her arms, her head down, following a ghost all the way to the dormitory.
At that time, Guanghui was chatting with his sister Kewei.
I don’t know why, but Kewei hasn’t allowed her to visit his home recently, saying that the room is too messy and the tea set is not prepared.
Guanghui felt that something was not right, but her sister often came to her place to drink tea, and she thought the result would be the same anyway, so she didn't worry about it anymore.
Today was the same. Kewei came to visit on time and we drank tea and chatted as usual, but he didn't expect to receive an unexpected guest.
"What's going on?" Guanghui looked at the little commander, then at the crying maid behind him, "What happened?"
"Um... no?"
Su Xin was not too sure either. After thinking about it, she decided to hand the maid over to the intimate elder sister in the royal camp to see if she could find out anything.
"Sister Dido has been quite tired recently, so I planned to give her a holiday, but I was afraid that she would be alone... so I came to see you, Sister Guanghui."
"So that's how it is... It just so happens that Kewei and I have nothing to talk about. Does Susu want to join us? How about Dido come too? The black tea is delicious~"
"Ah... I can't go in. I still want to go shopping. Besides..." Su Xin hesitated for a moment, "If I go in, Sister Hu De will definitely let me attend the afternoon tea party... Forget it."
"Hehehe...really, I know you are young and not interested in these things. Go and get busy. I will take good care of Dido."
"Sister is not that old..." Commander Su muttered a few words, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dido quietly walk behind Guanghui, "Then I'll go first. Just call me if you need anything."
"Well, don't worry."
[Click], Guanghui closed the door, took Dido's hand with a gentle expression, led her to sit at the table, and personally poured a cup of tea for the maid.
"Okay, we're all family here, tell me, have you encountered any problems that you can't solve?"
Dido bit her lower lip lightly, her pretty cheeks slowly turning red, like a ripe apple, but she was admitting her fault when she spoke, "I'm sorry, Dido seems... seems to have fallen in love with the master..."
"Silly child, why is it so difficult to apologize? Everyone likes her, right?"
"But...but...I I I..."
"Tell me slowly, it's rare to see you blushing like this. We have a lot of time to listen to you today. How about some cake first?"
Kewei had been bored the whole morning, and now she had gotten her chance. She quickly stood up without making a sound, afraid to miss any word, and secretly sighed in her heart.
"Great, I was wondering how she knew I liked rock music... So that's how she knew it?"
After Su Xin handed the maid who was behaving strangely and in a bad mood to the royal elder sister, she felt a little relieved. After all, she could only listen, and it was very difficult to coax people to talk.
Although I am not used to the absence of a maid, I am much freer now. At least I don’t have to worry about where to go or what to do.
She touched the pendant on her chest and asked softly, "【Ling】? Are you there?"
Suddenly, a breeze blew around her body for no reason. Something cold poked her cheek, and the soft and elastic flesh sank for a few seconds before returning to its original shape.
"Well, you're here, so I feel relieved. Do I need to trouble you today?"
The other cheek was also poked. Su Xin knew that the other party agreed. The depressed mood infected by Dido recovered a lot. She pursed her lips slightly, picked a direction at random and started shopping.
The port area has changed a lot. Compared with its original size, its area is now nearly twice as large.
In theory, buying land is actually very expensive, especially land that has been officially developed, which can be said to be worth every inch of land. However, if it is land that has not yet been developed, the price will be cheaper.
Ming Miao lived up to his reputation as a profiteer, as he contracted the construction of the camp dormitory, and then turned around and bought only shops and small plots of land from the person in charge of the commercial street.
The lack of land for reconstruction will be directly borne by the mountains behind the port area where there are few roads. Given the same area, buying land is cheaper than buying a street, which means another profit.
In addition, Su Xin paid the barbarians' salaries monthly, and Ming Miao directed them to rebuild the port area without spending a penny, making a huge profit.
Ever since Su Xin banned him from cheating people by brushing boxes, Ming Miao has been absolutely a conscientious merchant to the outside world. He sells equipment at low prices and even offers a guarantee. He is truly a kind person.
But he is a bit stingy towards his own family. I guess he wants to make back the money he lost from Su Xiaofu.
Su Xin knew it, but didn't care much. She had a lot of money anyway. Besides, compared to expanding towards the city, she really preferred to keep a low profile. Ming Miao also completed the task perfectly.
The back mountain is quite large, a small hill about 100 meters above sea level, the foot of the hill is flat, not much of a slope, the barbarians are now clearing the bushes, and the dormitory will probably be built here in the future.
Unable to bear the loneliness, the Brie sisters were still present today. One wore a hat and used an exaggeratedly large chainsaw to weed, while the other sat in the middle of the construction site with her hands on her hips, acting as a lucky cat.
[Calling the Tide] There was no news from the other side. Su Xin thought that this kind of research result would not stay in the port area for too long. She did not expect that these two were still working as laborers at home.
"...Could it be that Yubari-sensei has already greeted them?"
Su Xin couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to ask. Since the two sisters helped her ship girl break through the boundaries, she should treat them well and let them stay as long as they wanted.
As for labor... She did stop them twice, but she couldn't bear the Brie sisters' desire to find something to do, so she had to let them do it. After all, even if the building exploded, she could afford the loss.
While she was lost in thought, something round seemed to fly over from a distance. Before Su Xin could react, it was slapped away by an invisible guard.
"Gu~~~~~Plop."
"..."
"It's Gugu?!"
Su Xin hurriedly ran to the beach at her feet and saw the owl, which had lost a lot of weight after getting wet, fluttering in the shallows. She hurried over and picked it up.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
"Gu... Ugh! (X_X)"
"Gugu?!" Su Xin exclaimed with her eyes wide open, and then she heard a female voice from behind.
"... Stop pretending." Perseus came over with something in his hand and glanced at the wet owl, "... Your acting is as bad as Wolf pretending to be a sheep."
Gugu immediately turned over in Su Xin's arms upon hearing this, buried his head in Su Xin's coat, and raised his butt towards Perseus, "Gugu!"
Su Xin was stunned, and the [Spirit] quietly poked her cheek. She raised her hand and pinched the cold finger inconspicuously as a consolation, and then asked.
"Sister Perseus? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, gugu, I'm sorry, does it still hurt?"
"Goo."
Perseus shook his head and reached out to Su Xin, "It doesn't matter, it will run away on its own."
Gugu seemed to be angry. All the feathers that were originally attached to its body exploded, and it looked like a small ball. It jumped from the little conductor's arms to his shoulders and kept barking, as if it was confronting him.
Su Xin didn't understand a word he said, so she could only use her index finger to gently stroke his fur, then turned to ask Perseus, "Are you guys...having a fight?"
