Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 323 The Origin of Essex's Obsession (2900 words)
"I really... defeated the seniors of the enterprise?"

At this time, Essex was still standing there stupidly on the track. After taking off her helmet, she looked at her name in the championship column on the big screen, and forgot to get off the car for a while.

Just now when she used this trick with all her enthusiasm, she thought that she had arrived at the end at the same time as the seniors in the company.

But knowing that she actually defeated the seniors of the company, even if it was only in the motorcycle race, she still felt like it was a dream.

"Congratulations to Essex, the move just now was very beautiful, even I didn't expect you to overtake me with this dangerous move."

At this time, the company had also taken off the windshield helmet, supported the motorcycle on the ground, and walked to Essex with a smile to congratulate.

"Ah...Senior Enterprise, that was just a fluke, you must have let the water go..."

Seeing the sassy enterprise senior with fluttering silver hair standing in front of him to congratulate him, Essex blushed instantly, turned his gaze and said in a low voice.

"No, Essex, the company is definitely going all out and will not release water. This victory is the result of your continuous efforts."

At this time, Lin Lan also took Anchorage and others off the audience stand and walked from the track.

He happened to hear the conversation between the company and Essex, and smiled and said what the company wanted to say, which made the company smile at him knowingly.

As expected of the commander who is most familiar with everyone, he said everything she wanted to say for her.

Seeing the commander coming, Essex turned over and jumped out of the car with a flash of panic on her face. She was completely unprepared for herself to win.

What's more, she just saw the commander's expectant eyes, so she didn't choose to give up, and used this overtaking method that she had silently practiced countless times.

Even she herself wasn't [-]% sure that it would be successful, she just decided to use it on a whim because she wanted to live up to the commander's expectations.

"commander……"

Hearing Lin Lan's affirmative words, the dumpling with light purple double ponytails turned red like a ripe apple, and those who didn't know thought she was the one who lost.

"Essex, sister, just now, so handsome!"

At this time, Anchorage threw himself into Essex's arms and hugged Essex tightly.

Morrie also gave Essex a thumbs up, and said with a smile:
"Stop being humble at this time, Essex, just enjoy the victory openly and squarely. Sister Enterprise is also sincerely happy for you."

Essex looked at the enterprise, then at Lin Lan, and seeing the congratulatory smiles from both of them, she blushed and nodded, then touched Anchorage's head.

"Well, Senior Enterprise...Although I won this time, I still have a lot to learn from you. In the future, I will continue to follow your example!"

"I look forward to your challenge to Essex at any time. It is because you are such an active junior that will spur me to be better."

Enterprise smiled and raised its fist to Essex. Seeing this, Essex also took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to fist bump with Enterprise.

"Come and see everyone, three, two..."

At this time, Gridley's voice suddenly came, making everyone cast their eyes.

"...one, eggplant!"

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the sound of the camera, the expressions and movements of everyone, including Lin Lan, looking sideways were captured by Gridley holding the camera, along with the name of the champion on the big screen behind him.

"Hehehe~ What about the perfect angle, Commander, this time I'm not taking a sneak shot, right?"

Gridley came bouncing up and smiled happily at Lin Lan.

For Gridley whose quality has been greatly improved compared to before, Lin Lan touched the cute little head of Gridley with a smile and praised:

"Yes, your professionalism has been significantly improved, and you are finally no longer a candid camera reporter."

Since Gridley's sneak shot in the morning almost caused Essex to actually use the firing restriction to lift, this little White Eagle reporter also learned a lot.

It is not allowed to secretly take pictures next to the commander, otherwise there is a high probability that she will not be able to get along in the White Eagle camp like the little profiteer Akashi.

After this episode, Lin Lan boldly proposed to the company and Essex whether he could take him to experience the feeling of drag racing.

He couldn't help being interested in watching the two people's extreme speed competition during the game just now.

Although he didn't dare to drive around with his three-legged cat's motorcycle level, it should be no problem to have an old driver in front of him.

"Hmm... The Commander's request naturally has to be met by the champion of this competition."

After hearing Lin Lan's request, the company couldn't help but smile, looked at Essex and smiled.

"Ah? Me, shall I bring the commander?"

Never expecting that the seniors of the company would give him this opportunity, Essex was stunned for a moment, and asked back in a cute manner.

Seeing that the always cold dumpling is almost out of brain at this time, Lin Lan joked with a smile:

"It really should be like this. After all, it's more reliable for our champion junior Essex to take me, so I will thank you."

"Since it is the commander's request... Essex is very honored."

Essex looked at Lin Lan with a shy smile on her face, and suddenly felt the corners of her eyes sore.

She couldn't remember that a few years ago, when she joined the port area, the first thing she saw was this big boy with a shy smile.

At that time, although she had already met this young commander in the simulation exercise, she didn't pay much attention to him when she actually joined his port area.

Almost all of her energy was focused on chasing the pace of the enterprise. Even if she was arranged to attack by the commander, she still had the ultimate goal of catching up with the enterprise.

After all, she is the first ship of the Essex class, a new type of aircraft carrier in the White Eagle camp, but since she was born, she has been overshadowed by the glory of the predecessors of the White Eagle Ares Enterprise.

When everyone mentions the White Eagle aircraft carrier in those years, the first thing that comes to mind is the legendary Pacific Queen Enterprise, not the Essex class that was born later.

This is Essex's biggest obsession, and it is also her lingering... knot in her heart.

She hopes that she can prove the strength of the Essex class and surpass the enterprise with dignity.

But at the same time, he was full of sincere admiration for this senior who was so shrouded in legends that he couldn't even feel jealous.

As the commander named her to serve as the secretary ship, in her daily work and life, she also gradually became familiar with this commander who likes to do things to everyone, but they have never been able to touch them.

At the same time, she was also very curious, she worked so hard to catch up with the seniors of the company, and why this commander was so conscientious at work every day.

Is it just for the hobby of treating all sisters in the port area equally, without any discrimination at all?

What an old pervert commander.

She harbored this thought until that day came.

In the aircraft carrier exercise held in the port area, she finally tied with the enterprise, but fell into the suspicion of whether the enterprise deliberately released the water to take care of her.

It was the commander who discovered her negative and entangled mentality, took her to relax in time, and called the enterprise to explain to her the truth that there was no intentional release of water during the exercise.

It was also because of this incident that she discovered that this commander, who looked like an old pervert, turned out to be extremely attentive to everyone.

Until the day when she personally put on the oath ring, Essex, who fell into sudden happiness, even thought that as long as she could accompany the commander, she would no longer need to prove anything.

It is enough for the two of you to support each other and keep going.

This naive expectation gradually changed as the commander's physical condition got worse and worse, but she couldn't do anything.

Until that day, the commander disappeared from the port area...

In the time after that, she was so devastated and desperate that she even locked herself in the dormitory and fell into autism for several days.

If it wasn't for the faint perception that the commander is still alive, and the goal of finding the commander in her heart, she would even feel that the whole world has fallen into darkness.

At the same time, a thought arose in her heart:
If you can catch up with the company's predecessors who are still extremely strong after the commander disappeared, will you be able to overcome the pain of missing the commander?

So after that, Essex once again aimed at the enterprise, and was more persistent than what he had learned before.

Until the nights of the previous few days, the comatose commander was really picked up again.

……

"Why are you in a daze, Dumpling, come here quickly? Can your motorcycle seat two people? Speaking of which, I need some protective measures. My body is not as strong as yours, hahaha!"

The brief memory in Essex's mind was interrupted by Lin Lan who had walked to her motorcycle and looked at it carefully.

At this moment, Lin Lan was taking Anchorage with him, and the two looked at Essex's motorcycle curiously.

To be honest, this well-maintained competitive motorcycle should still be funded by him.

After all, it cost him dozens of dollars—that is, hundreds of red-pointed "big money".

wrong.

Lin Lan shook his head. The motorcycle company told him that it was borrowed from Jamaica.

But it is clear that this blue streamlined car shell is a copy of the one in Lihui that he bought for Essex to change up.

It seems that Essex still can't forget the day he bought him a facelift.
