KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

"Don't ridicule me, it's useless."

"That's not sarcasm, it's compliment. I always compliment people sincerely."

Suruga's calm appearance is very intimidating, but Liu Cheng has the ability to sense the fluctuations of the mind cube. In his eyes, the girl sitting next to him is like a jar of raging waves. He doesn't know what's going on in her heart. Her hypocritical appearance is somewhat cute.

So when Liu Cheng was reviewing the game with Mikasa, he deliberately asked Suruga several more times.

"What do you think, Suruga?"

"Suruga, where do you think this subordinate is good?"

"If Suruga were you, which way would you go?"

Seeing that Suruga seemed calm on the surface but was actually in turmoil inside, Liu Cheng almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He felt that since Toriumi, he had become more and more fond of bullying others.

"Please ask other people instead of me! You don't have to ask me so often. I won't point out the problem to help you!"

Although Suruga said so, he was provoked by Liu Cheng's few words and expressed some aggressive opinions at the instruction of Mikasa's senior.

"I remember you just said that you would give up this battle and move to the small tip in the lower right corner under the 187th move. How come you think it's better to rob in the upper left corner now?" Liu Cheng pointed at the chessboard and asked calmly, "Suruga, why do I feel that your level is erratic? Are you trying to bluff me?"

[Nonsense, now that everyone is paying attention to me like this, my mind is in a mess and I can't think at all! ]

"Really? The situation changes rapidly, and it's normal to have different ideas... Besides, I'm not a master like Tiancheng. It's your problem to take me as the standard."

Liu Cheng said: "How about we play the next game?"

"I am no match for you in this trial..."

"That's even better. It won't expose your companions' abilities, and you can test my abilities. It has all the benefits and no harm. There's no reason for you not to accept it, right?"

"Well--"

Suruga looked at the handsome yet hateful face of the man in front of him. He could still remain a little tough on the surface, but even in his panic, he still controlled the rhythm.

There was no way to refuse, so Suruga had to play a game with Liu Cheng.

In fact, Suruga's Go level is quite good, but it's just on paper. When it comes to actual play, he often makes bad moves because of nervousness. However, Liu Cheng's level is just so-so. After a thrilling battle of mutual crime, Suruga still won with a half-point advantage.

[Wow, I actually won! My heart was beating out of my chest when I counted the numbers!]

Liu Cheng praised: "I didn't expect your level is quite good."

"I didn't expect that... ahem..." Suruga was so excited that she almost told the truth. She quickly cleared her throat and said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "Idiot! Don't underestimate any opponent. This is my victory, no, it is our Sakura Empire's victory!"

"You are awesome, Suruga." Agatsuma has a delicate mind, so Mikasa didn't quite understand that Suruga seemed calm on the surface but was actually panicking on the inside. She knew a thing or two about it, so she encouraged him gently, "You are so good that you can beat Lord Liu Cheng."

"Indeed." Liu Cheng nodded, "In fact, as long as you are more confident, you can still do it well."

"Yes, as long as I believe in myself, I can..."

For some reason, under Liu Cheng's deep black eyes, Junhe almost said what he was thinking. Fortunately, he braked in time and quickly made amends, "What's there to say? Losing is losing. It's not graceful to say such things after losing!"

Liu Cheng now understood the character of the girl next to him. Rather than saying that she was insincere, it would be better to say that she was not confident enough in the areas she was not good at, so she simply tried to escape. But why would such a character get involved in the current incident?

Logically speaking, someone with Suruga's personality would try his best to avoid falling into such a situation. If something is abnormal, it is a demon. He can only understand that this girl wants to attract his attention. Being too lovable is also a kind of trouble.

"That's right, if you lose, you lose."

Liu Cheng admitted openly, "Anyway, I haven't won against my wife and the others in the past two days."

Suruga was in a complicated mood, pursed his lips and asked: "Are you reserving your strength?"

"No, that's it."

"Then aren't you afraid of failing the test?"

"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if you fail."

"what?"

Suruga was a little confused. It doesn’t matter if you can’t pass the trial. How can I interfere with you?

Chapter 139 Mikasa's Counterattack

The young man asked the Zen master: "I have high aspirations and I am not stained by the mud. I cannot fit in with this filthy world. What should I do?"

The Zen master took out a bag and asked the young man to put all the garbage in the house into it. The young man soon filled it up, and the Zen master took out another bag.

The young man suddenly realized: "You mean as long as I have a broad enough mind, I can accommodate the whole world?"

The Zen master shook his head, pointed at the bag and said, "Put it in, keep putting it in."

……

After Liu Cheng told this joke, Suruga and Hiei both reacted at once, the difference was that Suruga quickly covered his mouth, while Hiei smiled brightly, Agatsuma's reaction was a little slower, and Mikasa paused for a long time before realizing the meaning of it and laughed out loud.

"Interesting, keep pretending! Hahaha."

Junhe was a little sensitive now, and always felt that Liu Cheng was talking about her, so she simply took the initiative and said, "Does your joke mean that you have been pretending to be weak?"

"That's not the case. I'm really weak." Liu Cheng waved his finger and said, "In fact, I'm also very conflicted. If I tell the truth, I'm afraid you will think I don't respect the game and my opponent. If I don't tell the truth, I'm worried that you will be nervous against such a strong opponent like me, and I'm worried that I will disappoint the expectations of the Sakura Empire and my companions. Now that everyone is familiar with each other, I can tell the truth."

Mikasa snorted, still immersed in the joke just now. Suddenly she felt that it was very appropriate in the current situation, so she narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Pretend, keep pretending."

"I'm not pretending, I'm telling the truth." Liu Cheng said, "I don't care about winning or losing the trial. Attacking the city is second to conquering the heart. No one can be perfect in every field, not even me, so I just need to convince you and make you agree with my ideals."

Junhe's heart trembled, and she still felt that Liu Cheng was talking about her, but this time she pursed her lips tightly, her eyes wandered a little, and her long and beautiful legs covered with black stockings couldn't help but rub the plumpness of her legs.

[Is the old saying really true, that the one who knows you best is your enemy? Then why did you say that, to pretend to be gentle to gain favor? Low level! ]

Mikasa shook her finger and continued, "Keep pretending."

"Amagi and Shinano both agree with my ideals. Mikasa, you are just resisting stubbornly."

"Just keep pretending."

Facing Mikasa's one-trick pony, Liu Cheng said unhappily, "Mikasa, do you know that you look like a kid who just learned a buzzword and can't help showing off? You don't know that you are just a repeater."

"Just keep pretending."

"Mikasa, please marry me."

"Just keep pretending."

"I will marry you right now. The groom will kiss the bride, and then we will have the wedding night."

"Just keep pretending."

"Okay, okay, you win, okay."

Liu Cheng smiled helplessly, while Mikasa laughed happily. Finally, to some extent, she defeated Liu Cheng once, and she felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. Hiei and Agatsuma also smiled with their hands covering their lips. Suruga's mouth twitched a few times, and he turned his face away. Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up exaggeratedly, and then he quickly pressed them down. He repeated this several times, and it felt like his delicate face was about to be distorted.

"Although I don't care about winning or losing the trial, I will still try my best. After all, winning is always better than losing. Anyway, this is my level. You better be careful not to fall into my hands."

Liu Cheng was so frank, and Mikasa also told the truth: "If I want to embarrass you on purpose, I don't have to do it myself. Isn't it better to send Amagi and Avatar?"

"I am actually more stable in Tiancheng."

"Do you think Tiancheng will be impartial?"

"No need to guess. Don't I know my Tiancheng? It's already in my shape."

Hearing Liu Cheng's firm tone, Mikasa had no way to refute anything. Amagi's character was gentle but resolute. Her recent deliberate reclusiveness had already shown her attitude. Amagi completely trusted this man and also believed that this man could bring a future to Sakura Empire.

Mikasa twisted the chess piece and put it back into the chess cage, asking both a question and a question to herself: "I really don't know what Amagi likes about you, such a philandering and hateful man."

Liu Cheng deliberately said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's because I love someone else, but I can also love her broad mind."

"cheeky."

"I can't help it." Liu Cheng smiled and said, "In fact, I wasn't so shameless before, but now I have to be thick-skinned."

"Really? I guess that's just your nature."

"Of course it's true. People are also changed by the environment."

"Then tell me what you were like before."

"Before...I only wanted to marry three wives."

"Isn't that cheeky enough?"

"Relatively speaking, there are more than 30 now...but I love them all the same. This is my

Life creed. "

"You are so shameless. You are really beyond help."

Mikasa said unhappily, but the expression on her face was not contempt or helplessness, but a relaxed and casual smile. Suruga also realized that the atmosphere was completely different from what she had imagined. It was neither tense nor a struggle. It was just a scene of good friends chatting casually. It was even more relaxed and pleasant than being with good friends. Why was it so?

"Don't jump to conclusions. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Perhaps because he was used to joking with Mikasa, Liu Cheng didn't even need to be thick-skinned and could just say it casually, "You can try being my wife for a few days. You will definitely fall in love with this feeling like Shinano."

"Okay, I get it now."

Mikasa also waved her hand and responded casually.

"You agreed?"

"Oh, it's just a noise. I didn't say I agreed."

Liu Cheng did not continue to pester him, but said, "What about Suruga, do you want to try it?"

"Ah? What am I trying?"

Suruga actually understood what Liu Cheng meant by the context, but she was not like Mikasa who was used to Liu Cheng's jokes. When she suddenly heard such a question, her heart was naturally beating fast. She could only use rhetorical questions to hide her inner panic.

"Help Mikasa try being my wife, maybe it will be a brand new experience."

Suruga's heart was beating like a rocket. He couldn't keep calm and could only say with a stiff expression, "Is this a question of whether I can help you? Please don't ask me stupid questions like this again."

"Well, it's really a stupid question. It's something we both agreed to, so there's no point in trying or not trying."

Liu Cheng subconsciously glanced at Hiei and Agatsuma, but still did not say any further jokes. It was just a slightly excessive test, so he let it go.

However, Mikasa held her chin, looked at Liu Cheng thoughtfully and said, "I found out."

Liu Cheng picked up the teacup and said, "What did you find?"

"You guys either tease me or you add Suruga now that Suruga is here, but you never make any jokes about Hiei and Azuma." Mikasa clapped her hands, looked at Liu Cheng with burning eyes, and said confidently, "You guys, actually have intentions towards them, right?"

Chapter 140 Sincerity is always the ultimate skill

"Cough cough cough..."

Mikasa's words made Liu Cheng choke while he was drinking water. For a moment, he really couldn't react and didn't know whether to admit it or deny it. Of course, denying it was wrong, but if he admitted it, he really didn't have any intentions towards the two of them. There were obviously three of them, and you, Mikasa, had to be included.

Hiei's cheeks suddenly turned slightly red. The gentle Azuma subconsciously wanted to stand up and pat Liu Cheng on the back, but after hearing what Mikasa had just said, she was a little at a loss as her beautiful eyes moved.

"Haha, it seems I was right."

Mikasa's beautiful eyes were smiling, and she had enough room to lean forward and stretch out her hand to pat Liu Cheng's back. This was not gentle care, but a winner's show-off. After spending these few days together, she was finally able to gain the upper hand. Mikasa felt a kind of joy that the clouds had finally cleared and the moon was visible.

After Liu Cheng stopped coughing, he straightened up and looked at Mikasa's beautiful amber eyes that looked like gems as she retracted her right hand. The complacent smile in her eyes gave him a lively feeling.

"I'm curious, how did you come to this conclusion?"

Mikasa shook her index finger and said with a bright smile: "You admit it?"

Liu Cheng said: "It's not a question of whether or not to admit it. I should have always shown that I have intentions towards you, right? Isn't it obvious enough?"

"No, it's already obvious." Mikasa crossed her chest with her left hand and held her smooth chin with her right hand, looking like a famous British detective. "Xiang is a good child, but she still often uses pranks to attract the attention of adults. This is the little thought of a child who wants more attention and love. If you think about it this way, you are the same. You act so frivolously and often make some tasteless jokes, isn't it just to attract my attention... Well, I admit that your method is really effective. Even though I was offended by your joke, I still feel relaxed and happy to be with you. Maybe it's because this is a new experience that I have never had before."

There was a hint of tsundere in Mikasa's words, which were both derogatory and implicit praise. Liu Cheng couldn't help but clear his throat and said, "Ahem, is there a possibility that this is my charm?"

Mikasa glanced at Liu Cheng and ignored him, but continued to speak according to her own logic: "You also joked with Suruga when she came, because she, like me, is concerned about you in the opposite direction, but Hiei and Azuma are different. You rarely joke with them, which means that you subconsciously feel that you should not put such jokes on them. Isn't this intentional? What is intentional?"

Listening to Mikasa's logic, Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile. He also saw that Hiei and Azuma's pretty faces on both sides were slightly blushing. Occasionally, their eyes turned over to look at him, but they immediately looked away embarrassedly, like two water lotuses, shy in the cool breeze. If he had any intentions, it was that they were in love with each other.

As for Mikasa, she is indeed not an old-fashioned person, but she is still a little clumsy in interpersonal relationships.

But this is true for many ship girls. They are the first and only member of the opposite sex they can really interact with. How can they suddenly become

The heart is like a mirror.

"What you said makes sense and doesn't make sense."

"What's wrong with that?"

"The simplest point is, why would I joke with Hiei and Azuma?" Liu Cheng sat upright and smiled tenderly at the two ship girls. "Hiei and Azuma are both beautiful and kind people. They speak gently and never say anything bad. They help me pass water and pour tea. I like them so much that I certainly won't make any excessive jokes. Respect is mutual."

Hiei crossed her legs, her pretty face flushed, and Agatsuma slightly opened her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately kept herself reserved and didn't say it. She was just very happy in her heart, because at least she was sure that it wasn't the goddess who had any feelings for the king.

A smile appeared on Azuma's face, but gradually disappeared on Mikasa's. She frowned slightly, and after realizing that there was nothing wrong with the logic of Liu Cheng's words, she asked, "What about me and Suruga?"

"It's the same reason. You and Suruga were not so friendly to me at the beginning, and I'm not the type to be nice to people who don't like me. But after a few heated arguments, we got to know each other better, and our relationship has gotten a little better. That's the charm of interpersonal communication. I don't say whether we can end up being husband and wife, but I think we can still be friends."

Mikasa was silent for a moment. If she was told to marry Liu Cheng, she still found it a little hard to accept. But in fact, she had already regarded this somewhat hateful man as a friend, a good friend with whom she could speak without restraint, without having to consider their status, and even joking with each other was fine.
