Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1562: Ke Lei's Feelings

Under Angel's vigorous leadership, Lin Lan and four other ship girls got on Angel's Rubik's Cube Energy Car.

I don’t know if it was because they took into consideration that he would be bringing several ship girls with him, so the car that Ange asked the ANTI-X system to help rent turned out to be a spacious business car with more than enough seats.

"Hey Anjie, is it really safe for you to drive in slippers? And is this considered driving while fatigued?"

Lin Lan sat in the passenger seat, looking at Anjie with dark circles under her eyes, humming a little tune and buckling her seat belt beside her, and asked worriedly.

Anjie didn't even put her hands on the steering wheel. She just snapped her fingers and the car started to automatically follow the navigation:

"Assistant, do you think it is possible that the state of Hawaii has already fully activated the intelligent autonomous driving system?"

"6..."

Seeing Anjie leaning lazily on the chair, Lin Lan didn't know how to talk to his mother-in-law for a moment.

Having regained all his memories of the original world, he feels an extremely strong sense of guilt towards Anjie.

Due to pressure from the oligarchs on the board of directors, he never told Anjie about many of his plans.

The Dawn Project was the final gift given to the Ship Girl and Anticus by him and the humans in the original world who still had good intentions, knowing that they could not escape the erosion of higher dimensions.

He has speculated that the reason why Osta asked Ling to launch the cruel and ruthless Judge Plan was most likely because Osta was completely disappointed with human nature because he lost his beloved wife Sophia.

It's just that before the destruction of the original world, Anticus's father somehow knew that he had become a high-dimensional fragment, so he provided Anticus with a final layer of protection.

This is why only he can stop Anticus's Judge Plan.

But only for Anjie...

Looking at Anjie, who for some reason was chatting harmoniously with Marco Polo sitting in the back seat about local culture and specialties, he didn't know how to respond after regaining his memory.

After all, he had never told his "mother-in-law" about the Dawn Project.

In the original plot of the game event, in the "suicide note" that Anjie sent him at the Long Island Defense Line, she revealed everywhere that she did not want to die suddenly.

But as he launched the Dawn Project, the entire original world was completely destroyed. What he did was equivalent to completely violating the extravagant hopes in Angel's "suicide note".

"Assistant, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Anjie suddenly turned her head and looked at him seriously.

Lin Lan instinctively wanted to avoid Anjie's gaze, but Anjie suddenly burst out laughing:

"Don't say anything yet, let me guess.

"Based on what I know about you, when you have this kind of expression, you must be thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, right?

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've cleaned up your mess. I've been charged with so many crimes that I don't have to worry about debts. When the military investigates, I'll take the blame for you.

"As for you, assistant, since you have decided to come here, it must mean that you have come out of the shadow of the Richard incident, right?
"Seeing you and the ships so full of energy, I feel relieved."

Angel was clearly talking about how he left NY City without permission and came here.

But for some reason, Lin Lan always felt that Anjie in front of him seemed to see the guilt in his heart.

Especially when Angel suddenly mentioned the Richard incident, it seemed like she was implying that he didn't need to feel guilty at all.

"Huh... I understand."

Even though he knew that the Anjie in front of him was most likely a bizarre existence that appeared in this high-dimensional world in the X-attachment area because of Cole's will.

But these words made him feel that the guilt and gloom in his heart disappeared, and a smile finally appeared on his face again.

"Oh yes, assistant, have you heard?"

Seeing that he finally stopped looking stern, Anjie suddenly seemed to remember something and said to him excitedly:
"To celebrate the Rubik's Cube Technology Exchange Summit being held in Hawaii, the governor invited all participating researchers to a dinner tonight!

"Although this kind of academic dinner usually provides a platform for the exchange of interests between academic and financial forces, I want to reveal an insider information to you."

When it came to the key point, Anjie deliberately stopped and looked at him with a smirk, as if waiting for his further question. Lin Lan also cooperated and asked curiously:
"What's the inside information? Tell me about it."

"You know the Royal Charlemagne family, the family of the current Prime Minister."

Anjie pushed up her glasses and smiled at him:

"The eldest son of their family plans to formally propose to Ke Lei at the dinner tonight."

"???"

After listening to Angel's mysterious words, Lin Lan and the four ship girls sitting in the back seat widened their eyes at the same time.

He had some impression of the prime minister's family of the original world's royal family, but he had no recollection of such a thing happening on the eve of the Rubik's Cube Technology Exchange Summit.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Anjie deliberately spread her hands in a helpless tone:
"Who can blame her for being a good person? She is pretty and has strong professional skills. She is different from a nerd like me who just wants to stay in the lab.

"If she hadn't always been with you in college, the people chasing after her would have lined up from the teaching building to the school gate.

"It's a pity that our research project team has been in trouble recently. Otherwise, with your relationship with Ke Lei, who would dare to be the first to try this?

“But in the final analysis, the assistant has to blame you.

"If you and Ke Lei had officially announced your relationship earlier, those forces would never have dared to target Ke Lei."

Lin Lan could clearly feel that the four ship girls on the scientific research ships behind him were looking at him, demanding an explanation.

At this moment, he finally understood why Ke Lei had sent him several emails to invite him to participate in this Rubik's Cube Technology Exchange Summit.

"So, what does Cole mean?"

"What does she mean? Assistant, you really don't know or are you pretending to be me?"

Hearing him ask this, Anjie rolled her eyes in frustration at him:

"You still remember that I asked her to help solve the Soviet alliance's ship equipment problem. To tell you the truth, she said in person that she just wanted to be with you."

Lin Lan was just asking casually. Even without Anjie telling him, he knew exactly what kind of feelings Ke Lei had for him.

Even after becoming X, he still did everything he could to control the mimics and mimic beasts in the city-state world so that they would not harm him.

After he and the ship girls entered the city-state world, they were provided with good weather throughout the journey, not wanting him to encounter bad sea conditions.

And the purple high-dimensional matter that was clearly filled with endless sorrow, but was afraid of being seen by him in its sleeping place, avoiding his sight...

All of this made his eyes gradually become firm.

"We also have an invitation for this dinner, right?"

"Of course... no, but it's not a big problem."

Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, Anjie showed a smug smile on her face:

"Ling has already arranged the invitation for us. How about we go change our clothes first?"

"No, before that, the girls and I have more important things to do."

To Anjie's surprise, Lin Lan shook her head and looked out the window at the streets of the tropical coastal city.

Although he had decided to bring his ship girls and Ange to the banquet, he still clearly remembered the root cause of Cole's subsequent tragedy.

"Angie, please go to the clothing store later to help us customize the dresses. We will find you before the dinner starts."

Hearing the barely perceptible murderous intent in his tone, Anjie did not ask further questions. Instead, she looked at him with a smirk and smiled confidently:
"Okay, okay, you want a custom dress, right? Leave it to me."
