“Okay!”
Chapter 843 Morning News (Combined)
"Good morning, is Sister Kewei home?"
The aircraft carrier who was drinking tea in the lobby on the first floor of the Royal Dormitory was stunned. She turned her head to look at the girl who was waving at her outside, "Commander?! You, what are you doing..."
"Didn't I promise to take you for a morning run every day?" Su Xin, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, said neatly, "Or should we start tomorrow?"
"Eh? Ah... I..."
Kewei was obviously a little flustered because the young conductor did not inform her in advance, and she had just attended the concert last night and cleared up the misunderstanding with her sister. She woke up this morning with the mentality of "the years are peaceful and good".
She was wearing a loose home dress and soft flat sandals, and was chatting with Guanghui and Hood while holding a cup of tea. Who would have thought that she would be greeted by the little conductor who was doing morning exercises?
Guanghui was the quickest to react and took the tea set from his sister. "In that case, let's go. Do you have sportswear? It's not convenient to wear a skirt, right?"
"Yes, there is... but isn't it tea time now...?"
Hood put the cup back on the porcelain plate with a "click", picked up a biscuit and took a bite, "It's okay, we are family, there's no need to be so restrained, just do whatever you want."
Kewei hesitated for a moment, but finally leaned towards the little conductor who waved at her, picked up her skirt and stood up from between the tables and chairs, "Then, then wait for me, I'll change my clothes and come down right away!"
"it is good."
Kewei rushed up the stairs two by two, taking steps that were much more "rough" than before. Seeing this, her sister Guanghui shook her head and complained to her friend:
"Look, he's really anxious."
"Well, it's true that he doesn't look much like you. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't be able to tell."
"What's not like?"
"Like... running fast?"
Guanghui groaned unhappily, "I'd like to, but... well, I haven't tried running at full speed in a long time."
"Mouth Click"
Sheffield, who was used to it, took the porcelain cup with a cracked handle from Hood's hand, took out a new one, filled it with hot tea, and put it back.
Guanghui just smiled when she saw this. She found that it was really fun to tease good friends occasionally.
"You should have told me in advance..."
"Well... I saw what Guanghui sister posted on WeChat Moments last night. Since she knows everything, then coming to run with you is not something we should avoid, right...?"
"Who cares about this..." Kewei pouted and pursed his lips subconsciously, "It takes time to change clothes."
"Well, you'll know tomorrow. Just get up and change into your sportswear."
It's scary and annoying. Although this guy has indeed started to pay attention to everyone's mental health, his lack of knowledge as a woman causes him to occasionally make a lot of "wooden remarks".
"You know, I only put on lipstick today! I didn't have time to touch anything else. Anyway, I won't sweat. Isn't it normal for women to dress up to please themselves?!"
"Really... If you had told me in advance, I could have gotten up half an hour earlier to put on makeup!"
Su Xin knew nothing about Kewei's slander, but even if she knew, she probably wouldn't take it too seriously. After all, in her opinion, there was not much difference between a ship girl with makeup or not.
Her facial features are impeccable, her skin is always white, and at best she can put on some lip gloss to brighten her complexion. What else can she do?
With the idea of inequality between women and girls in mind, the two of them started jogging in the port area.
"So did you guys talk it all out last night?"
"Yes, you didn't know that my sister actually followed us to the convention center!" Kewei still felt magical when talking about this, "I never knew that my sister would do such a thing!"
Su Xin thought it was normal. Two nights ago, when she took New Jersey to the Royal Palace to find Kewei, she heard the words "night attack" from Guanghui.
Although this word carries some historical factors, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that "a brilliant character is not dull, dignified and gentle", so it doesn't seem surprising that he followed suit out of concern.
"After all, although it was not her intention, Aunt Hu De was also someone who had an underground love affair." Su Xin sighed to herself while jogging.
"Hmm... can you please give me some reaction?"
"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I was distracted. So you don't have to worry about your image so much in the future, right?"
"How is that possible?" Kewei glanced at the little commander unhappily. "Although I do think that's tiring, you still have to have basic etiquette, okay? I just won't lock the door and not let you in."
"So... you still touch your lips with your handkerchief after taking a sip of tea?"
"Go! This is normal, right? Licking with your tongue is a rather subtle action, okay? Um... but you don't have to do that in private."
Su Xin blinked, "...Isn't that not much different from before?"
Kewei hummed a few times in a low voice, "Maybe, but the change in mentality is huge, isn't it? My sister is willing to accept my hobbies, so I can naturally accept those etiquette willingly."
"Well...as long as you are happy."
"Say that, it's a big minus in front of a girl, right? You should say, I will always support your decision, and sincerely hope that you can do what you like when you are with me. That's the right thing to do."
“…It’s so long.”
"Hehe... Come on, tell me. Maybe my favorability rating will go up."
"Ah, good morning."
"Eh?! Ahem...Mister Manchu, you are so...ah, no way, are you lying to me?! Stop right there!"
"Slightly
"Don't run!"
"Don't chase me!"
"Who told you to lie to me? That's so abominable!"
"The floor is vibrating. If you step on it and break it, you'll have to pay for it yourself."
"Woo~~Su! Xin!"
The sound of approaching noises in the distance brought Atago back to her senses as she rested on a bench. She straightened her sitting posture slightly, and soon she saw two people running towards her, playing and joking.
Kewei immediately restrained his movements to make himself look less "crazy", and at the same time greeted Atago with a smile, "Ms. Atago, good morning, what a coincidence."
"Good morning, it's quite a coincidence indeed."
Su Xin blinked, stopped in front of Atago, and asked curiously, "Sister Atago, why are you here?"
The big dog dug out a frisbee and a badminton racket, "As you can see, I was tired from morning exercise and took a break. I didn't expect to run into you guys."
The young commander leaned over and took the two objects from the other party's hand and looked at them. The frisbee didn't change much. It was the same as the one that Warspite had subconsciously smashed last time. It didn't seem to be very valuable.
A badminton racket is a bit more interesting, it's the kind of [self-entertainment] racket with a string tied to the top and a badminton at the other end.
"Ah... you know, if you want to play this alone you need to make some changes..."
These words were extremely sad to hear, and the young commander had a complicated expression, but he could sense something "deliberate" about it. He certainly didn't have any evidence, and all he could say was "woman's intuition."
Atago didn't add anything. As if she suddenly came to her senses and wanted to change the subject, she said, "Ah, were you guys running just now? The barbarians just cleaned up over there, it's perfect for morning exercise, let's go.
At that moment, Su Xin almost couldn't help but stay and accompany the uncared big dog. Fortunately, she remembered the wise words that Yixian had taught her in the past, and her mind suddenly became much clearer.
"Ah... that's a pity." She pulled Kewei behind her, "Sister Kewei and I have only run halfway, and we have to go to the command room to work later. Um... if I have time, I will come to play with you again, okay?"
The unexpected rejection made Atago stunned. She had never thought that she would be rejected. This moment of distraction was keenly captured by the little commander. She felt even more fortunate that she did not fall into the trap.
Although the expression "when I'm free" in most cases means "never free", it is a promise after all. Atago had no reason to delay it any longer, so she had to nod.
Su Xin was able to successfully escape from the spider web woven by Ai Da Gou with Ke Wei, and trotted away.
Atago looked at the backs of the two people, feeling somewhat melancholy. "According to the little cutie's personality, this time the ambush should be impeccable... How did he become smart...?"
"Hmm... This is difficult..."
"Hey, why didn't you decide to stay and play Frisbee with her?"
"Hmm? I'm not stupid!" The little commander who almost fell into the trap but was not caught was very confident, "How can it be such a coincidence? And let's not just the frisbee, but they actually prepared a badminton racket for one person to play with. It's weird no matter how you think about it, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Kewei nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, you've already gotten started."
Su Xin was curious and asked her, "What do you want to get started with?"
"Girls' thoughts." Kewei tucked her flying hair behind her ears. "As girls, these little thoughts are obvious to us. Only you are so stupid that you always fall for them."
"...'we'? What about me?"
"You? I'd say you're stupid... but you graduated first in the school. But I'd say you're smart... but sometimes I feel like you were born with the wrong gender, and you're just like the stupid boys."
Commander Su didn't mind being criticized like this. Instead, she was curious about a question. "So what's said on the Internet... Girls can tell the nature of the same sex at a glance... Is it true?"
"That's not accurate. It's not that I'm gifted or have a keen eye or anything like that. It's just that compared to boys who get carried away easily, as a woman, of course I'm calmer."
Su Xin nodded as if she had learned something, and then came to a conclusion, "So... the photos in your room were hung intentionally for me to see?!"
The aircraft carrier, which had been talking so eloquently just now, suddenly fell silent and gave up in the increasingly suspicious eyes of the young commander.
"I, I just put it up just in case. The big head is of course to protect my sister, but if you come to my room one day and see it, wouldn't it be good to improve your impression of me?"
"Hmm... So scheming."
"How can you say that about a beautiful girl? This happens very often. Just like when I was hooking my hair just now, I was able to show you my neck and ears. It's a lady's instinct."
"...
"What do you mean by that distrustful look? I didn't lie to you."
"I guess I have to be more careful when talking to you next time."
"Hello?!"
"Hehe... Just kidding."
Kewei rolled his eyes and puffed his lips, "If I didn't like you, who would be willing to spend so much energy on playing tricks? And you're still not satisfied, what an idiot...
"Good boy, where have you been hiding? Come out soon! You just wanted to drink some milk, why did you suddenly disappear?"
"Zeppelin~"
"U-47~"
"Come out soon. If you don't like it, I can replace it with juice, okay?"
Su Xin, who was jogging, heard a familiar voice from a distance. She looked up and saw the other person's identity revealed by the corner exposed behind the bushes on the left side of the fork in the road.
"It's the Emperor's mother... do you want to go and take a look?"
Kewei was helpless, "Why do you suddenly want to join in the fun? She is much more difficult to deal with than Atago. I will have to run back alone then."
"Not really, not really. Since I promised you to go for a morning run, I will do it. I just went to see what she was doing."
"Really? Just now someone almost played Frisbee with another big sister."
Su Xin pretended not to hear and slowly ran behind Frederick the Great. She raised her hand and tugged at his clothes. "What are you looking for here?"
"Hmm? That sound..." Frederick looked down after pushing aside the bushes and looking into the branches. "Oh... my child, how come you are here?"
"My sister Kewei and I were running and just happened to pass by, so we came to see if you needed any help."
Compared to Frederick, who nodded gracefully and looked more dignified than Frederick, Frederick the Great also nodded with a smile, and then looked at his favorite child.
"It's like this. Zeppelin and U-47 go out very early every day. I'm afraid it's bad for their health to go out on an empty stomach, so I prepared some milk, but they don't seem to like it very much?"
"Well... milk, I really didn't like drinking it when I was a kid." The little commander said, glancing at the cup that the emperor had pulled out, "Because if you drink too much you'll get sick of it, and... um? What's this black thing?"
The emperor half-knelt and handed the cup forward. "It's milk. In order to make it more nutritious, I specially added some oil. It tastes like a drink made with black sesame seeds. It tastes very good."
The smile on Su Xin's face suddenly disappeared. She turned her head expressionlessly and looked at the Royal Aircraft Carrier, which specialized in cooking. She was glared back at by the carrier with a look that said, "What's it got to do with me?"
Frederick smiled gently. Seeing that the young commander was reluctant to respond, he suddenly remembered, "Oh... yes, I forgot. You can't digest these things well..."
"Ahahaha... yeah, yeah, oil and the like... are still a bit too advanced for a human being..."
Frederick nodded and put away the [Mother's Love Sesame Paste Milk], "What a pity... um, by the way, did you see the two of them on your way here?"
"No... But I guess they won't hide that high, because you are very good at finding high places, and you will be easily found if you hide there. Why don't you try to find some bushes?"
In the area in the distance that had been searched before, a low green shrub suddenly moved, and the three of them instantly turned their eyes there.
"Thank you, my child. If you have time, you are welcome to come to Iron Blood to find me, but now... I have something important to do."
"Well, all right, come on, Great Mama, Great Mama is the best!"
Commander Su turned around and dragged Kewei to run, whispering as he ran, "Don't look back. You don't want to see the expression on the KanColle's face when she drinks that stuff."
"Well, of course I don't want to see it."
