With a cry of an eagle, a bald eagle appeared circling overhead, and a white-haired girl in a black coat and white military cap came into view. She brushed her white hair back from her ears, and the eagle circled her twice before landing on her shoulder. Finally, upon seeing Lin Dong, the girl smiled confidently and calmly.

"commander."

USS Enterprise, a legendary aircraft carrier with countless nicknames. She is also one of the most powerful carriers in the Azur Lane game, and Lin Dong's wife...

"Hello, company."

"The commander seems different than before."

The company observed Lin Dong carefully for a while before speaking.

"Before? What was I like before?"

Hearing this, Lin Dong felt a chill run down his spine.

"The previous commanders would just stay in the office and issue various orders, which seemed a bit... a bit cold and impersonal."

The company recalled and organized its thoughts as it went.

"The current commander feels more real."

People always change over time.

After hearing Lin Dong's explanation, the company smiled slightly and then greeted his former colleagues one by one.

Lin Dong knew that the ship girls weren't just cold, hard data; they all had memories from their time in the game. For example, Cleveland often talked about Helena and Wichita, who had fought alongside her, while Spence's memories were all about oil field development and sea patrols.

The company was surrounded by a crowd, making it quite lively. Meanwhile, Raffi stood behind Lin Dong, seemingly oblivious, and continued to tug at his sleeve. Perhaps it was because he had been away from the Commander for too long and missed him, as he had a good impression of him.

Raffi wasn't clingy; she just stood there sleepily, not saying much. Looking at Raffi, Lin Dong couldn't help but grin, remembering a scene from a game where someone hid behind a wall.

"I have a feeling the commander is thinking something bad," Laffey said bluntly.

"Thinking that Lafite gave me good luck in building the company," Lin Dong said, patting Lafite's head forcefully to try and bring her back to her senses.

"Stop shaking me... I'm so sleepy."

"Drinking less alcohol will make you less sleepy."

"Hiccup~~~"

Lafite answered Lin Dong with an extremely long burp.

"……………………"

Chapter 24 Dinner

Cleveland seemed pleased with the arrival of the company and Lafite, so he volunteered to be the chef for the dinner.

The group was gathered around the barbecue grill at the building entrance, waiting for Daddy to feed them.

Lin Dong, holding the sleeping Raffi in his arms, looked around at everyone present. Spence drooled the whole time, his hand holding a fork, his eyes following Cleveland's barbecue tongs. Ford obediently acted as Cleveland's little assistant, busy running around. Ollie and Zibuli sat on the side, chattering as if discussing tomorrow's itinerary.

Meanwhile, Nelson frowned as he intently looked at the renderings submitted by the design company that afternoon. Rodney, standing next to Nelson, seemed to sense Lin Dong's gaze and then looked at Lin Dong, giving him a gentle smile.

The company also noticed Rodney's actions and then glanced at Lin Dong. Based on Lin Dong's observations over the past half-day, the company wasn't the type to initiate conversations, but when you did, she would engage in very serious discussions and wasn't quiet at all. Even when she wasn't speaking, she was usually noticeable; in short, she was a person with a strong presence.

Lin Dong wasn't quite sure how to treat Enterprise, his wife whom he'd only met for the first time. Enterprise wasn't like Nelson, who constantly watched over him to prevent mistakes, nor was she like Rodney, showering him with tenderness and care. Even the boisterous Cleveland had occasional flirtatious and intimate gestures with Lin Dong. Enterprise, on the other hand, was serious and reserved, giving off a stern and unsmiling vibe. She wasn't overly proactive with Lin Dong, treating him more like an old friend she'd known for many years.

Lin Dong then realized that he had been daydreaming. He quickly smiled and nodded at the company that was looking at him. Then Lin Dong realized that his behavior was just like how he used to act when facing a stern-faced leader.

Raffi, who was sleeping in Lin Dong's arms, seemed to be awakened by the aroma of roasted meat. Raffi rubbed his eyes, jumped off Lin Dong's lap, took a plate from the table, and walked over to Cleveland.

"Give me a piece that's medium-rare, please."

Cleveland wasn't bothered by Lafite's impolite behavior. He smiled, gave an 'OK' sign, and placed a steak on the plate Lafite offered.

"Ohhhhhh!" Amid Spence's exclamation, Lafite devoured the steak in two or three bites. After finishing the steak, Lafite pulled out a bottle of red wine from his coat pocket and took a big gulp.

"Hiccup~~~~~~"

"Oh!!!" Spence exclaimed again, his voice filled with admiration.

Raffi glanced at Spence, who was looking at her with adoration, and gave her a forced smile. Then she returned to Lin Dong's lap, pressed her face against his chest, and slowly fell asleep.

Since Lin Dong was holding Raffi and couldn't eat with his hands free, Cleveland kindly stopped what he was doing and cut the whole steak into small pieces to feed his son.

Just then, Nelson's "husband's infidelity alarm" went off. Nelson put down the renderings in her hand and looked at Cleveland's actions, preparing to put down this increasingly outrageous vixen. However, Nelson then remembered the company she had just arrived at. It would be more worthwhile for the company to handle this kind of thing that would reduce goodwill by breaking up the couple.

"Aren't you going to take care of Enterprise, Cleveland, and the Commander's affairs?"

Nelson glanced at the direction the company was heading towards, specifically in the direction Lin Dong and his companion were.

"The commander will handle it."

"whispering sound."

After Nelson's little scheme failed, she looked at the renderings again. "My husband isn't just mine. It was fine when I was the only one going through things, but now that you're not going to care about this, I'm not going to bother either," Nelson thought.

“Enterprise, the Commander seems a little afraid of you,” Rodney chimed in.

"Afraid of me? I've fought alongside the commander for a long time, how could he possibly be afraid of me?"

The company said in bewilderment, recalling the days when it first followed Lin Dong. Back then, the Maritime Bureau had no Nelson Rodney; it was all up to them and Radiance to fight off the Sirens.

Rodney smiled but didn't reply. Seeing that the company's emotional intelligence was still as low as ever, she felt relieved.

………………

After dinner

"Enterprise, this will be your room from now on. If you have any complaints, just let me know." After settling Lafite in, Lin Dong escorted Enterprise to the door of his new room.

"Thank you for your help, Commander."

"Haha...cough cough, no trouble at all. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You get some rest."

Just as Lin Dong was about to make a joke, he remembered the person he was chatting with.

As the company watched Lin Dong leave, Rodney's words came to mind.

"Commander... are you afraid of me?"

……

Chapter 25 Selection of Assisting Defenders

When Lin Dong returned to his room, he saw Nelson sitting on his bed. The scene seemed familiar; she had just finished showering and was fixing her hair.

Lin Dong naturally took the hairdryer from Nelson and dried her hair. They had grown much closer during this time together. However, Nelson hadn't come to Lin Dong's room since the very first day after the building was completed, when she stayed overnight. After all, this proud and aloof girl was still quite shy; she wouldn't have come if she hadn't been so thoroughly provoked by her sister and Cleveland on the first day.

"I plan to take my sister and Cleveland with me to help defend the outpost. Once you build the new ship girls, you can switch roles with us. We can take turns from now on." Nelson was worried that if she let her sister and Cleveland continue like this, her husband would definitely fall for them, so she decided to use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to perish together with them.

"Oh…………"

"What? You're not happy? Or you can't bear to part with your two little lovers?" Nelson turned his head and glared at Lin Dong.

"I can't bear to part with you."

Lin Dong, feigning innocence, leaned closer to Rodney and inhaled the scent of her blonde hair, which smelled of shampoo.

"Humph!"

After styling my hair.

“I’m going back to my room.” Nelson looked at Lin Dong with a look that said, ‘If you don’t stop me, I’ll kill you.’

"My dear wife, don't go."

"Go take a shower!"

"I won't wash, I won't wash, I just won't wash."

"You... um..."

Many things just happened naturally like that...

…………

every other day

Upon waking, Lin Dong looked at Nelson, who was resting his head on his chest, and couldn't help but smile smugly. Recalling his previous behavior of acting like a baby, he felt a sense of exhilaration, like a serf who had finally been liberated.

A smug Lin Dong planted another heavy kiss on the forehead of Nelson, who was still fast asleep. How satisfying!

To everyone's surprise, Nelson suddenly opened his eyes right after being kissed, his bright and alert eyes showing no signs of just waking up.

"Honey, you're awake?"

Lin Dong stared at Nelson in his arms with his innocent, wide eyes.

Nelson didn't answer, but simply placed his hand on Lin Dong's face and gently rubbed it. Lin Dong wasn't surprised by Nelson's unusually gentle behavior every morning when he woke up; he simply tightened his grip on Nelson.

"My wife, you're so good to me."

……

"If I come back and find that you've made a mess of the Security Bureau, you know what will happen."

"...Don't worry, wife."

Lin Dong smiled and dealt with Nelson, who had returned to normal.

"hope so."

Lin Dong and Nelson stepped out of the room after Nelson's warning and saw the businesses in the corridor.

"Enterprise, good morning." Lin Dong, who had been smiling obsequiously at Nelson, straightened up when he saw Enterprise.

Nelson nodded slightly to the company and then left on his own.

After Nelson left, only Lin Dong and Enterprise remained in the corridor.

"Hey, let me take you to the cafeteria for breakfast."

"Thank you for your help, Commander."

"It's no trouble at all."

Seeing Lin Dong's cautious attitude, Enterprise stopped talking. She also felt that she and the commander seemed to have become somewhat distant after meeting again, which made her feel depressed. She also remembered what Rodney had said at dinner.

Are you scared?

The company, having made up its mind, decided to make some changes and immediately reached out its small hand to shake Lin Dong's.
