After preventing the world from being destroyed, the ship girls started acting strangely.

Thinking of this, Quejie disregarded her manners and quickly finished her breakfast while trying to remain elegant. Quejie didn't know where she got the courage, but she stood up and bowed deeply. "Thank you for your hospitality. I'm done eating! Well, Commander, I'll wait for you outside. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

Immediately under the astonished gazes of the two, Quejie blushed and fled the scene as fast as he could.

"What's wrong with Quejie? Did I put too much pressure on her?"

Looking at Quejie's back, You Ran, who was focused on chewing her fried egg, was also stunned, and then said with a strange expression.

"Well... I don't know either. Perhaps it's because you were too busy with work when you left such a deep impression on the child, and now that things have changed, it's a little hard for Quejie to adapt."

Belfast was slightly surprised to be standing behind You Ran, but she quickly offered her advice.

"How about... Commander, you try being a bit more serious later? And then try giving the child some tasks to do, so that she can gradually adapt through this process."

"A mission?" Hearing Belfast's suggestion, You Ran was stunned for a moment. He was no longer working and really didn't know what mission to assign to Que Jie. But this matter was both difficult and easy. You Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."

......

Outside the lounge, Quejie, who had just run out, almost lost all his strength the moment he closed the door.

Leaning against the door, Quejie clutched her chest and gasped for breath, but she dared not rest for a moment. Instead, she immediately took out her phone and edited a message in the post.

Quejie: ​​"Everyone, something terrible has happened! I just discovered something big about the Commander while I was eating!"

Bremerton: "What's the big deal?"

Marco Polo: "Could it be that they've discovered the Commander actually has a crush on me?"

San Francisco: "Could it be that they discovered the commander was secretly looking at my photos?"

Saratoga: "Could it be that the Commander actually prefers smaller ones?"

Quejie: ​​"No, no, it's not that. I just noticed that the Commander was playing on his phone too!"

Marco Polo: "??!"

San Francisco: "!!!"

Felix: "!!!"

Bremerton: "You mean... the Commander is probably watching us chat right now?!"

Quejie: ​​"I... I don't know either, but I have a feeling it's very likely..."

Fiji: "Ah, this..."

Felix has been banned from speaking by the administrator (Bismarck) for one hour.

[San Francisco has been banned from speaking by the administrator (Bismarck) for one hour]

Bismarck: "You two are suspected of spreading rumors and making statements that are detrimental to the Commander's image and have seriously damaged the Commander's reputation. You are hereby suspended for one hour as a warning, and this will not be repeated."

Bremerton: "..."

"How intimidating: You usually lurk and spy on others, now you're pretending to be serious, huh??"

Atago: "? No, is it wrong to like the Commander? The Commander didn't say I can't express my love to him, did he?"

Taihou: "I suggest banning these two as well. I've seen them make inappropriate comments about the Commander on the forum many times. They must be eradicated."

Atago: "We're all colleagues, enough is enough."

Atago has been banned from speaking by the administrator (Bismarck) for one hour.

[The formidable one has been banned from speaking by the administrator (Bismarck) for one hour]

Bismarck: "After being reported and quickly verified, I found that this was indeed the case. I hope that everyone can have the courage to report each other like Taiho, and at the same time conduct self-examination and self-examination, learn from this, and create a good atmosphere for the forum in Hong Kong."

Saratoga: "6"

Saratoga has been banned from speaking by the administrator (Bismarck) for one hour.

Fiji: "......"

Fiji: "Can't you even speak anymore...?"

Lützow: "Alas, what's the use of you fighting amongst yourselves? Shouldn't we be more united now? I'm on Bismarck's side."

Bremerton: "You understand the importance of teamwork."

Lützow: "Ahem, I mean there's no point in us guessing now. After all, the Commander doesn't usually use his phone. He might have just happened to take it out today. There's no need for everyone to panic."

Fiji: "But if there's no definite news on this matter... cough cough, I can't say."

Lützow replied to Quetzal: "So we need a warrior! To personally verify the authenticity of this news."

Quejie: ​​"Huh? Ask me? But I don't know who I can ask for help right now..."

Lützow: "No, Quetzal, you underestimate yourself. You should know that the potential of ship girls in adversity is limitless. Any choice you make now could affect the survival of the forum. Can you bear to see Bismarck busy with a lot of work every day while also maintaining the forum?"

Taihou: "Actually, if you don't mind, I can reluctantly take over Bismarck's job for now. After all, it's a ship's responsibility to maintain the forum's atmosphere!"

Reno: "You've planned this all so well that I could hear it all from White Eagle."

Taihou: "I just wanted to do something for the Commander, please don't overinterpret it."

Reno: "Yes, yes, even if you told Santiago this, he wouldn't believe you. If you really gave him that permission, wouldn't the forum be in chaos?"

Lützow: "Alright, just ignore her. By the way, Quetzal, have you thought this through?"

Quejie: ​​"Well, okay then, I'll try my best..."

I never expected that I would be forced back in so soon after escaping. Outside the rest room, Quejie was still leaning against the door looking at her phone. She felt that things were even more difficult for her now than when she was on the battlefield...

Chapter Twenty-One: A Swift and Decisive Offensive

As Quejie turned from having his back to the door to facing it, he had just finished taking a few deep breaths and was about to knock when his phone suddenly received a message notification. Upon opening it, Quejie found that it was a message from Lüzoff.

Lützow: "Are you there? You haven't gone in yet, have you? Since we don't know what the situation is right now, I thought I'd give you some advice privately."

Lüzoff: "When you go in and ask the commander, you can make up any excuse to borrow his phone. If the commander doesn't seem to care at all, it proves he hasn't even looked at the forum. If the commander refuses... then you don't need to ask any more questions, it's probably true..."

Upon seeing the message from Lützow, Quetzal's eyes lit up. She had been wondering how to confirm the matter, but now it seemed like she had a good method.

Quejie: ​​"Okay, I understand."

Quejie: ​​"Shall I go in then?"

Lützow: "Yeah, good luck!"

After sending the message, he turned off his phone. Then, after thinking for a moment, he turned the phone off completely before clenching his fist and resolutely knocking on the door.

bang bang bang --

"The door is unlocked, please come in."

Inside, You Ran, who had just finished breakfast, was drinking the black tea that Belfast had brewed. She responded when she heard the knock on the door, and was slightly surprised when the door opened.

"Quejie? Why are you back?"

"Um, Commander... I... my phone seems to be broken. Um, could I borrow your phone to send a message? It's... it's urgent..."

Even though she had already thought about what to say, she couldn't get the words out properly and stammered. Just when she had finally relaxed, Quejie became nervous again.

"A cell phone? Of course."

Seeing Quejie's hurried and flustered appearance, You Ran subconsciously nodded. She picked up her phone from the table, intending to hand it directly to Quejie, but then You Ran quickly realized that something was wrong.

After all, besides him, Belfast was also in the kitchen washing dishes. Judging from Ke Jie's usual behavior, no matter how hard you looked, you wouldn't be able to find him. Moreover, the mobile phones used in the port area were basically products he had developed. Considering the requirements for long-term use, the materials used were top-notch. Generally speaking, unless it was hit by a torpedo or artillery shell head-on, it would be difficult to damage.

Not to mention that Quejie is now behaving like a guilty child lying to his parents, making it hard for You Ran not to be suspicious.

Nevertheless, she handed the phone to Quejie first. Seeing Quejie immediately breathe a sigh of relief, You Ran then asked, "But... what's the matter that's so urgent? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help."

"Well... I mean, yesterday... Lüzov asked me to wake her up early today, saying she had something very important to do. I was afraid of delaying her, so I was in such a hurry."

When the commander brought the phone to him, Quejie was pleasantly surprised, but when the commander asked questions, Quejie panicked. In order not to let the commander see through his act, Quejie quickly made up an excuse.

You Ran: "..."

Listening to Quejie's words, You Ran was also at a loss for words. Actually, he still wanted to try to trust Quejie, but he couldn't find a more lame reason than Quejie's at the moment...

Although it has now been confirmed that Quejie lied, You Ran still doesn't know what Quejie intends to do with his phone. After all, pranks are not something Quejie would do, and You Ran can't think of anything else.

Besides, he had been studying and thinking every day before, so much so that now You Ran was too lazy to think so much. After all, it would be easier for Que Jie to say it himself than for him to be lost in his own thoughts.

"Um, Commander, the fingerprint lock..."

Just as You Ran was about to give up thinking, Que Jie's weak voice came again, and You Ran's heart softened. Suddenly, she had the urge to bully Que Jie.

Consider it... punishment for the bad kid who lied.

Thinking of this, You Ran suddenly had an idea.

"Oh, I almost forgot, my phone is a bit special. It has a special program installed. If it's too far away from me, it will automatically lock even if it's unlocked. Come closer, Quejie."

"Is that so...?"

Hearing You Ran's words, Que Jie blushed slightly and took two steps forward, feeling quite embarrassed. "Now, what about now?"

"No, it's still too far."

"How about this then...?"

"Too far."

“Is that so?”

"Closer."

"Woo..."

Good, so close!

Step by step, as the distance between them continued to shrink, Quejie never imagined that she would be so close to the commander one day. She felt her legs go weak and her heart pounding. For a moment, her whole body was incredibly sensitive.
