This young lady is always inexplicably cute in some ways.

"Sister Burgundy, Richtofen, you guys go for a walk, I'll look after the boss." Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Republic took the initiative to speak.

"Okay." Burgundy looked at the Republic, a little surprised.

She looked down at the time.

Ah, is it December 7th already?

It seems that I haven't bought anything for the commander for a long time, and it's time to prepare a New Year's gift for him.

Burgundy glanced at Hithofen, asking if he wanted to join him.

"Well, then, Republic, the command is in your hands." How could Richthofen not understand what the other party meant, so he followed Burgundy and turned towards the commercial street.

As the two disappeared around the corner, only Lorraine and the Republic were left.

"Why don't you go for a walk by yourself?" Lorraine continued walking with Republic.

"Sir, you have to watch alone." Republic followed him.

"Otherwise, you'll do something irrational." She thought for a moment and added.

"Well, I swear I won't, okay?" Lorraine looked back at her and walked backwards.

"Be careful, sir." The Republic said helplessly, "Please walk carefully first."

"boom!"

As the Republic was speaking, someone's head collided with the metal street lamp, making a crisp sound.

The Republic quickly stepped forward to support Lorraine.

"So, how can you reassure us?" Republic said softly.

"Okay..."

She let go of Lorraine just in time.

The latter rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly, not knowing whether he felt something.

"The scenery is nice." So Mr. Luo changed the subject.

"Yes...it's pretty good." The Republic gave a fair evaluation. The terrain of the island is very good, with mountains in the north and the sea in the south, so it naturally faces north and south.

"The wise man loves water, the kind man loves mountains," Lorraine murmured.

"So what kind of commander is that?" asked the Republic.

"Me?" Lorraine was stunned.

Just a fool who wants to indulge in sweet dreams.

"Neither," he replied.

"Let me walk around with you again, sir." Republic looked at Lorraine. "It's rare that you look so energetic."

"Then...thank you, Miss Republic?"

"Sir!" Republic puffed out his cheeks.

"Hahaha." Lorraine led the Republic down the mountain.

There is still a good part of the east side that I haven’t seen yet.

I have to say that this port area is indeed quite modern.

It seems that the garrison commander has invested a lot of money in this.

It’s a square grid layout… Lorraine feels a little depressed.

After paying a little attention, he found that even the buildings here were as regular as square boxes.

From a high place, you can see machines working on the shore, probably to expand the island's area.

Lorraine knew that Donghuang had recently been planning a floating port area, which was to imitate the Siren's war fortress and build several mobile war bases.

This will expand the naval projection range.

An expansion like this is probably an early stage technology application?

"Republic, do you think it would be better for us to take a port area in the future, or..."

"It's up to the commander to decide."

"You always say that..."

The two chatted idly, although it was mostly Lorraine who was looking for topics.

But just like that, I slowly wandered around and before I knew it, I was at the beach.

"This port area is actually not that big." Lorraine muttered.

It's not even 4 o'clock yet.

However, to Lorraine's surprise, there was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard between several square concrete buildings near the coast.

He couldn't help but stop.

Republic did not expect the person in front to stop suddenly, so she also stopped in a hurry and stopped beside Lorraine.

Then he followed Lorraine's gaze and looked—

A girl sits in the sun, with many children around her.

She held a paintbrush in one hand and a large straw hat on her head shielded her from the afternoon sun.

Although the winter afternoon sun is not glaring.

The girl didn't seem to notice the travelers stopping. She lowered her head and whispered something to the children.

Then look up and forward.

Amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, a black cat lay lazily in the sun.

The black cat yawned boredly, then climbed up as if it had discovered something new.

"Concert?" The girl in the courtyard also noticed the black cat's movements. Only then did she notice that there were two more people outside the yard.

So she exclaimed softly, "Don't be rude."

However, the black cat jumped over the iron fence of the yard in two or three steps, came to Lorraine's feet, and rubbed Lorraine's ankle.

Lorraine squatted down and scratched the black cat's chin.

The girl hurriedly got up, apologized to the children, and opened the yard door.

"Sorry, kid..." She came to the two of them with some apology.

"It's okay." Lorraine picked up the black cat.

Unexpectedly, the black cat's belly was white.

"Your cat." Lorraine put the black cat in the girl's arms.

"Thank you." The girl took it carefully.

"Hello, who are you?" The girl looked at Lorraine with some curiosity - this was a traveler who most likely came to this corner by accident.

"Well... my name is Lorraine, and I'm here to visit this port area." Lorraine thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, hello, my name is Ye Yu." The girl bowed slightly with some restraint.

"This is my companion, her name is Patty." Lorraine pulled the Republic next to her.

"Hello, Miss Patty..." Ye Yu was a little surprised at the nobility of Gongxing.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Patty." Republic reacted quickly and spoke softly.

Since the commander did this, he must have his own considerations.

"Okay~" Ye Yu was very happy. This was the first time that an outsider broke into her life.

"Then, why don't you two come in and sit down?" She smiled and invited them.

Lorraine rarely acted like a child: "Of course, thank you for the treat."

Ye Yu turned around and said, "Follow me, both of you..."

The children were clinging to the iron gate of the yard, watching the conversation between the three people eagerly. When they noticed Ye Yu turned her head, they screamed and ran away in all directions.

Ye Yu smiled helplessly.

Lorraine also smiled.

He probably knew where this place was.

"It's okay, the kids are cute."

"Well, just don't be so naughty as usual..."

"Hahaha."

Chapter 169 Children

Lorraine looked at the children surrounding Ye Yu, bursting into laughter from time to time, and couldn't help but recall that long-ago afternoon.

I also grew up in an orphanage...at least in this life, with my sister.

Thinking of his sister, Lorraine sighed. He didn't know how she was doing. No matter what, he would take the three girls back with him for the New Year this year.

That is, he is not very good at handling the role of Luo Yi, who is like an "elder sister to a mother".

Gongguo supported his chin, his eyes fixed on Ye Yu's painting.

That's a cat.

Apparently, it was the black cat "Concerto".

After they came in and sat down, Xiezou jumped out of Ye Yu's arms and ran back to his original position to continue sleeping.

This also allowed Ye Yu's painting classes to continue.

Ye Yu held a pen, her strokes were very soft, just like her, a very gentle girl.

The children kept making "wow" sounds.

Republic glanced furtively at Lorraine, then looked at Ye Yu's painting.

"When the day comes that there are no more alarms, I will travel around the world!" Ye Yu drew the last stroke, and a lazy black cat appeared on the paper.

Her mother told her that once all the black steel monsters were destroyed, she would be able to travel freely and see the world.

But she thought, she had never seen the outside world, and the occasional alarm would always shatter the tranquility here...

"Beautiful scenery, interesting people, and fun things." Naturally, it became a thought.

So, she re-adjusted the color——

With one thick stroke, he painted a sky full of clouds.

"Okay, okay..." The class ended quickly. Ye Yu clapped her hands gently and went to Lorraine and Gongguo surrounded by the children.

Looks like everyone can take a break.

"Big brother, are you from the mainland?" a boy asked Lorraine.

"Yes, it's a very far place." Lorraine was surprisingly patient with the child.

"So, what kind of place is that?"

"Hmm..." Lorraine was silent.

Arguments with family members, complaints with friends, and all kinds of extremely troublesome interpersonal relationships, above and beyond these trivial matters, trouble everyone's "living" and "living".

A chaotic stream of images flooded my mind.

"Don't be in a hurry to grow up. Take your time. There is a world outside..." He patted the child's head.

Since when did we become unable to forgive others?

Perhaps, it was the time to steal the golden apple; perhaps, it was the time when the Tower of Babel collapsed.

"The world outside is probably full of love and hope."

"Wow!" the children exclaimed.
