"Indeed, we should." Akagi showed no sign of refutation or resistance.

"But there's no need to thank me. I cured Tiancheng. Even if she is your sister, it has nothing to do with you. How to thank me is Tiancheng's business, not yours."

"But……"

"No buts, I think I've made it clear."

As he spoke, Liu Cheng ignored Chi Cheng who was still standing there, and found a piece of grass, lying down with his hands on his head, looking at the barely round moon in the sky, and said, "Don't think too much. Since Tian Cheng has been cured by me, go and enjoy family happiness with your sister. Tian Cheng has been bedridden for so many years, you must have many regrets in your heart, so do what you want to do."

After hearing Liu Cheng's words, Chi Cheng stood in the moonlight in confusion, her mind churning. At this moment, even she herself couldn't tell what her attitude was towards Liu Cheng. Was she grateful for the fulfillment of her long-cherished wish? Or was she puzzled that he had offered her a bed but treated her like a piece of trash? Was she admiring him with an ambiguous attitude? Or did she regard his kindness as a burden...

Chi Cheng suddenly found that he still had a trace of resentment towards Liu Cheng. He resented that he didn't tell him earlier that he could definitely cure Tian Cheng. He resented that he didn't show up until now. He resented that he deprived him of his direction and made him confused... Why did he have such resentment? What a despicable emotion!

So Akagi adjusted the collar of his kimono, hugged his knees with his hands, and sat next to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng looked at the beautiful red fox and said, "As for apology, I prefer special local products. I heard that the matcha and seafood in Sakura are good. Of course, it would be even better if I had a real estate by the sea in Sakura. The area doesn't need to be too big, 1,800 square meters per floor will be fine. If it's bigger, I can't afford the property fee."

Akagi pursed his lips: "What a real request."

"The main point is the truth." Liu Cheng said bluntly, "I don't think you like to be hypocritical with me."

Akagi smiled and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking about now?"

"what?"

"I was thinking...it would be nice if you were a liar."

Liu Cheng didn't say anything. Experience told her that this was the time for him to be a listener.

Chapter 85 The Best Target

"I am very conceited because I am Akagi, a famous First Fleet Warrior in the history of the Sakura Empire. My sister Kaga is a powerful warrior, and my elder sister Amagi is an outstanding military strategist who is no less than Takenaka Hanbei. I am also very strong. So I am very conceited. I believe I can do everything. Even the Sirens can be completely annihilated by me. It's just a matter of time."

"But I am indeed conceited, not confident, because the reality is like this. When faced with something like Amagi-san, I can't do what I imagined. I can't get to the battlefield even if I rush, and the carrier-based aircraft can't fly further. I can't do anything about Amagi-san's injuries. No matter how conceited I am, this is still incompetence."

"I hate those shipgirls who hold me back, I hate those human politicians who argue all the time.

I hate White Eagle for not knowing the difference between the important and the unimportant. If there was less wrangling and the general attack was launched earlier, if the other ship girls were stronger and they didn't have to provide support everywhere, if Enterprise didn't put the cart before the horse and rescue humans first, things would never be like this. But what I hate most is myself. I can't make excuses for my incompetence."

"I can't do anything about Sister Amagi's injuries. The only thing I can do is to find various ways to help her heal. If the technical level of the Sakura Empire can't do it, then I'll ask for help from other forces. If other forces can't do it, then I'll turn to humans for help. But even a famous doctor can't explain Sister Amagi's CT report, and there are also scammers who fish in troubled waters."

"Miko, monk, qigong master, every time I get a little hope, I see these people and scare them with the power of the ship girl, but they reveal their true nature as liars. I no longer have any hope."

Akagi finished speaking in a calm and soothing tone. She was talking and also examining her own mental journey over the past few years. After a slight pause, Akagi turned to look at Liu Cheng: "So I dare not have any more expectations for unexpected hopes. I am afraid of being hit by despair again, so my attitude towards you is very excessive. I am very sorry."

Liu Cheng just smiled and said, "I can understand your mentality. After all, I am not someone who does not have empathy. But it is just understanding, which does not mean that I have to tolerate you. So I said that I am very unhappy with your attitude, but it is just unhappy. There is no big like or dislike. I will accept your sincere apology. Isn't this the end."

"Is it that simple?" Akagi tilted her head.

"It's that simple."

"No, it's not that simple." Akagi suddenly said to Liu Cheng in a serious tone, "I am not apologizing to you sincerely. I realize my mistake and I am very grateful to you for healing Sister Tiancheng, but in addition to gratitude and guilt, I also have some resentment towards you."

"Oh."

Liu Cheng responded indifferently. Now he just wanted to rest and was too lazy to use his brain.

"what do you mean?"

Chi Cheng frowned slightly. Seeing Liu Cheng's calm expression, she suddenly became a little excited. She moved closer to Liu Cheng, grabbed his collar with her slender hands and said, "I resent you. You have been so kind to me, and I have done something wrong to you. But I still resent you. How unbearable is that you just said oh?"

"What else should I do?"

Liu Cheng shrugged and looked at Akagi's pretty face close to him in the moonlight. Her nose was small and tall, and her eyebrows were as thin as smoke. She always had a cold expression, but Akagi's upturned eyes and plump lips made her whole face look charming. No wonder Tiancheng said that Akagi actually had a very passionate personality, but she was a little stubborn and easily stuck to her own opinions.

"You've honestly told me that you resent me, isn't that being honest? Do you still want me to not forgive you? The key is that I have indeed forgiven you in my heart, and I don't want to make any changes."

After hearing what Liu Cheng said, Akagi stared at the man's face in a daze, and his hands that were grabbing Liu Cheng's collar loosened.

"So why do you care about what I think? You have self-knowledge because you can recognize yourself. All I want is your apology and forgiveness. I have forgiven you, so why don't you forgive yourself?"

Liu Cheng's words were like thunder in Chi Cheng's ears, causing her body to tremble. Did I not forgive myself? Because of my incompetence, because I was not strong enough, because I suddenly lost my goal, I was blaming myself and could not forgive myself, and I put such resentment on Liu Cheng?

Just as Amagi said, Akagi is a proud and courageous ship girl, but she is a bit stubborn most of the time. Without anyone to guide her, she will get stuck in a dead end and unable to escape.

In the past, Tiancheng would guide her, but this time, Tiancheng only told her some other things.

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Chi Cheng looked into Liu Cheng's eyes and said word by word: "I know what your purpose is."

"What purpose?"

"You want to bridge the contradictions among the ship girls and don't want Azur Lane to split. After all, you are a human being, and your thoughts are understandable from a human perspective." Akagi narrowed his eyes and said excitedly, "So I can meet your requirements. I can terminate the alliance with Iron-Blooded Soldier, and I can also announce that the Sakura Empire will not withdraw from Azur Lane..."

"unnecessary."

"Right, I knew this was your purpose. I am still the leader of the Sakura Empire..." Akagi reacted and frowned, "What did you say?"

Liu Cheng stretched and said, "I don't need it."

"Then what do you want?"

"I don't need anything. You just need to be yourself." Liu Cheng reached out and touched Akagi's fox ears. The soft touch was very good. "Isn't this quite normal? It's not like you can't hear me. What you did in the Sakura Empire is not just for yourself. Otherwise, the other Sakura Empire shipgirls wouldn't support you."

"So you just need to continue to work hard to be a leader. For the sake of the Sakura Empire and the Kanmusu, it is the best goal to truly grow up to be able to protect your companions in your heart."

Akagi was stunned. All the unexpected words seemed to be expected. She was just making her last struggle.

With trembling lips, Akagi murmured, "Is this the best goal?"

"Of course, you are devoted to your fellow Sakura Empire members, and I am devoted to the ship girls.

As long as we keep our original intention, we will all end up in the same place. I have this confidence. "Liu Cheng looked at the beauty under the moon and smiled, "You should have this confidence, too, right?"

Akagi stood there in a daze, looking at the man in front of him, who seemed to be shrouded in holy light under the moonlight. His every word and action, his every move, had actually already marked out his future. This must be fate.

A tear flowed from Akagi's eyes, but they were tears of relief.

Chapter 86 What Dafeng doesn't understand, I, Chicheng, understand

"Liu Cheng, I'm sorry."

"Akagi, you've apologized many times."

"That was an apology for what happened before, this time it's for the present."

Liu Cheng was still a little confused, but Chicheng had already hugged Liu Cheng's waist, her beautiful and smooth brown hair spread on the man's chest. She buried her whole face in Liu Cheng's lower abdomen, sobbing softly.

He raised his hand and finally placed it gently on Akagi's head. Although Liu Cheng had always been very businesslike in his attitude towards Akagi, he did not dislike this serious and strong ship girl. Even if what Akagi did went against Liu Cheng's ideas, wasn't it the same for Bismarck and Frederick the Great? They did it not for themselves, but for the interests of their companions and to respond to their expectations.

Liu Cheng now only felt pity for Chi Cheng. He stroked the red fox's ears and smooth hair and said softly, "Cry, just cry it all out, then look forward and don't look back."

After hearing what Liu Cheng said, Chi Cheng hugged the man's waist even tighter, and said with a choked voice: "Can I? Go forward with you."

"Of course, I told you, what we are doing is the same thing, just trust me."

"Yes, I believe you, I believe you..."

Akagi now finally understood what Amagi said to her - Akagi, you can also learn to believe.

She found the direction of her life again, and Liu Cheng who helped her find the direction became the light in her heart. The boiling love was burning in Chicheng's chest. Tears flowed, but there was a smile on Chicheng's lips. She knew that this must be fate. It was definitely fate that guided Liu Cheng to her side. From now on, her life would bloom for him. As long as she was with him, she could absolutely, absolutely do anything.

"Damn it, I didn't believe you at first. From the first moment I saw you, I should have known that you were the one I was looking for."

“Diode thinking is not advisable.”

"That's my fault too."

"If there is something wrong, correct it. If there is nothing wrong, try to improve it. If you really feel bad, just compensate me for the real estate and add another floor."

"Okay, anything I can give you is yours."

"So is your sister okay?"

"No, Sister Tiancheng can't..."

"Where's Kaga?"

"No, you have bad intentions~"

Liu Cheng hugged Chicheng's body and chatted with her casually. Chicheng's voice gradually became lower, and no sound was heard for a long time.

Gently pushing aside the loose hair, Liu Cheng saw Chicheng's peaceful sleeping face. The tears that had not yet dried up were dripping from the corners of her eyes, running across the satin-like skin of her cheeks. The smile on the corners of her mouth was so beautiful, it was a smile that came from having her heart untied and no longer confused.

Reaching out and wiping away the tears on Chicheng's face, and seeing that the beauty was still asleep, Liu Cheng knew that Chicheng had been carrying too much in the past three years. Perhaps this was the first time in such a long time that she could get a good night's sleep. After hesitating for just a moment, Liu Cheng gave up the idea of ​​standing up, hugged the back of his head with both hands again, and slowly closed his eyes in the evening breeze.

It's just one night, so let Akagi have a good sleep. Anyway, he is in good health and the weather is not too cold, so he won't catch a cold in one night. Maybe Akagi will wake up after a while.

The night sky was as cool as water, and the chirping of insects rang in the ears. Not far away, the waves were beating against the embankment, and the sound of water droplets splashing and falling on the rocks could be heard. It was a tranquility that seemed like the unity of nature and man, which made Liu Cheng feel completely empty, as if he and Akagi were the only two people left between heaven and earth.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Cheng suddenly felt a strand of hair brushing against his cheek, which made him feel itchy. Then, two pieces of moist, hot and warm touches gently touched his forehead. After a brief taste, they licked and kissed his cheek even more greedily.

"Akagi, stop making trouble."

Liu Cheng dazedly stretched out his hand to block it, and suddenly felt something was wrong. The weight of Chicheng Chi's first month fee group 694936135 was still pressing on his chest, how could he still appear in front of him.

I struggled to open my eyes, and saw a pair of beautiful red eyes with misty tears in front of me. Her already beautiful face was even more breathtakingly beautiful under the moonlight with her tearful expression. Even if it was a poisoned apple, I couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"Da Feng? Why are you here?"

"Master Liu Cheng!" Dafeng's eyes were filled with tears. She gritted her teeth and looked at Chicheng who was lying on Liu Cheng's belly. She said, "I want to ask you, do you like Dafeng?"

"I……"

"Just don't tell lies to Dafeng, otherwise..."

Dafeng bit her lip and pressed her hands on Liu Cheng's neck. There was a flash of intense madness in her eyes, as if she could do anything.

Liu Cheng felt a bit of a headache. He didn't dare to make any big moves in this situation. His intuition told him that if Akagi woke up and confronted Dafeng, it would not only be of no help, but would also add fuel to the fire.

"Dafeng." Liu Cheng stretched out his hand and took the girl

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Yes, Dafeng wants to know everything!"

Liu Cheng said truthfully: "I like it, but it's just like. Not as much as you like me."

Dafeng was stunned for a moment. Liu Cheng's words were a bit confusing, which made the girl unable to understand for a while.

"I don't understand. If you like someone, you just like him or her, right?" Dafeng murmured. "I like you. You are the only one in my eyes. I think about you all the time. I want to know everything about you. Dafeng will always belong to you alone..."

The more he spoke like this, the more possessiveness flashed in Dafeng's eyes. Although Akagi was the leader and the senior, she could not possess Liu Cheng at this time. He belonged to Dafeng, and belonged to Dafeng alone!

Then Liu Cheng's words shattered Dafeng's fantasy.

"But I am not yours alone. I told you at the beginning that I have many lovers, more than you know."

Dafeng was now kneeling beside him. Liu Cheng tucked her long black hair behind her ears, looked at her dull and beautiful face and said, "Love or like is a very subjective thing. I like you, your warm and innocent personality, your kindness towards humans, and your beautiful and pure appearance. But if it's not suitable and something unpleasant happens, I can also dislike you."

"Da Feng, it's the same for you. You can like me telling you what love is, like my inner toughness, like my handsome appearance, but after finding out that I'm a scumbag, a philandering scumbag, you can also stop liking me. It is precisely because of free will that there is free love."

"Da Feng, do you understand?"

Dafeng pursed her lips tightly. She seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

She opened her mouth, but another voice came from below.

"If Dafeng doesn't understand, I do."

Chi Cheng, who had woken up at some point, came forward, held Liu Cheng's face, and said affectionately and passionately: "Lord Liu Cheng, Chi Cheng loves you~"

Chapter 87: Both of them are losers

Akagi's action pushed Dafeng aside in an instant. Her slender body entangled Liu Cheng's body like a beautiful snake. There were traces of dried tears on her charming face, making her look as charming as a peony emerging from water.

"Akagi and you must be destined to be together... From the beginning, I knew that you were the one I was looking for. I will love you forever and ever. Please believe me, Akagi will always be your Akagi."

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..."

Liu Cheng was a little confused for a moment. Although Tiancheng also said that Chicheng's coldness was just a shell to protect herself during this period, in fact, Chicheng's heart was extremely passionate and stubborn. Once she set her mind on something, she would go all out to complete it. Originally, Liu Cheng thought that maybe the words just now would plant a seed in Chicheng's heart, which would grow into a towering tree under the watering of time, but this change came too fast.

"Don't believe her, Lord Liu Cheng!"

Dafeng forcibly inserted her hand between Liu Cheng and Chicheng, squeezed her head in a little bit with force, and held Liu Cheng's head tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.

Chicheng narrowed his eyes and said unhappily: "Dafeng, there is nothing for you to do here, you leave first."

"No, I will never leave Lord Liu Cheng." Even in front of Akagi, the leader and senior, Taiho would never give in. "I am the ship girl who fell in love with Lord Liu Cheng at first sight, and you, Senior Akagi, spoke harshly to Lord Liu Cheng from the beginning, and even beat him up without knowing right or wrong. Now you say you love him, this is really despicable!"

"This is my fault, so what? I, Chicheng, will spend my whole life making up for it. Lord Liu Cheng has already said that I can move forward with him, and no one can separate me from him."

"Lord Liu Cheng is mine! Da Feng can give him everything!"

"Not anymore."

"That's right, I'm the only ship girl in the Sakura Empire who likes Lord Liu Cheng!"

"Want to compete with me? My love is absolutely invincible!"
