KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Many ship girls also laughed, but didn't take it too seriously. Pola crossed her arms and pursed her plump lips and said, "So, you dragged us into the dream just to meet?"

"Isn't just meeting each other enough?... Of course, while there is still time, you can each give me a kiss." Liu Cheng said shamelessly, "Time waits for no one, sisters, the next chance will have to wait until after the New Year to meet in Xingang District, which will take at least a month or two."

"That's different..."

Seeing that Pola was about to let the cat out of the bag, Richelieu quickly stepped forward, put her arms around Liu Cheng's neck, and her light pink lips, still scented with the fragrance of irises, just brushed lightly across Liu Cheng's face, because she knew that maybe Liu Cheng's words were a joke, but once they were spoken out loud they would no longer be a joke.

Bora also realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag, so she walked up and gave Liu Cheng a passionate kiss on the other cheek. She was a little reluctant, but there was more anticipation in her beautiful eyes.

Liu Cheng didn't have time to think about the meaning of it. He was immersed in the sweet kisses of his lovers until the dream world was about to collapse completely.

"Happy New Year, everyone. See you after the New Year... and, I love you."

"Happy New Year, Commander."

Amagi smiles with everyone

I blessed Liu Cheng, but we won’t see each other after the New Year, but the day after tomorrow. No, it’s early morning now, so we will meet tomorrow.

Chapter 68: What I Expect Is Not Snow

New Year's Eve arrives amid the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Liu Cheng changed into the brand new navy uniform prepared by Yixian early in the morning, with a golden tassel, and wore a few marshal medals symbolically. If he pinned them all on his chest, even Xunzong would be impressed.

"Aha……"

Liu Cheng yawned as he walked out, and he became a little more awake in the cold sea breeze. Last night, he and Yixian, Zhenhai and Huajia worked until midnight and finally prepared red envelopes for everyone in the port area. The three wives were wrapping the money, and Liu Cheng wrote each person's name on it. Even if he didn't have the chance to give it to them during the New Year, he would give them some when the new port area was built in the future, as a small token of his thought and sense of ritual.

After carefully writing down more than 600 names one by one, Liu Cheng felt that his arms were about to be broken and he had to rest well in the arms of his wife Zhenhai for a night.

"Hey, good morning, brother-in-law~"

Jiu Nio greeted Liu Cheng from a distance, ran over full of energy, and hugged Liu Cheng's arm very naturally. The slight ups and downs of her body showed the youthfulness and sweetness of a young girl. Of course, it was far less intoxicating than the gentle land of Zhenhai, but it had a kind of dignified and innocent beauty from another dimension.

She looked at Liu Cheng's tired face, raised her pretty face, pouted her lips and said, "Brother-in-law, take good care of yourself. Sister Agano once said that if a man has a weak waist, everything else is zero..."

"You don't know whether my waist is fine or not?" Liu Cheng scratched Jiu Niang's small nose unhappily, "How can you be so immature at such a young age?"

"Hehehe~"

Jiu Nio stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and a faint blush appeared on her fair and smooth face. After all, a few nights ago, Liu Cheng called her and Noshiro sister together, and these two girls exuding youthful and beautiful temperament blinked their pure and moving eyes with shy expressions. The youthful sisters of the Sakura Empire were like delicate flowers reflected in the water, with seemingly different but actually similar beauty.

The place where she usually acted coquettishly or shouted cold words could no longer utter stern or sweet words. However, when Liu Chengzhen had to take care of another lovely girl, she was reluctant to let him leave. In the end, both girls happily arrived at the beautiful other side, even the experienced Noshiro was no exception.

The sisters were both young and beautiful girls. That night, Liu Cheng felt as if he had returned to his youth and was full of endless energy.

Liu Cheng touched Jiu Nio's head again, but did not focus his attention on the pretty girl. Instead, he looked around absentmindedly, especially in the direction of the seaport and the runway. Logically speaking, if the other ship girls came to pay New Year's greetings, they should have arrived early in the morning. It couldn't be a sudden surprise on New Year's Eve, right?

Jiu Nio noticed that Liu Cheng was absent-minded, blinked curiously and asked, "Is brother-in-law looking forward to something?"

"No." Liu Cheng sang casually, "What I look forward to is not the snow, but the winter with you. What I look forward to is not the moon, but the meeting with you..."

While singing, Liu Cheng stopped. He looked at Jiu Niang who was looking up at him and asked, "Don't you think my singing is bad?"

"No."

Jiu Nio blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes were pretty and beautiful, "I can't say how beautiful my brother-in-law's singing is, it's definitely not bad, and the melody is great, and my brother-in-law's singing makes people feel itchy."

"Wine wine~"

Liu Cheng grabbed the girl's slender waist as she exclaimed, picked her up and spun her around in circles, "Boya Ziqi, Jiu Niang, you are my confidant!"

"Hehehe, Jiu Niang certainly knows how to appreciate his brother-in-law the best~"

After a brief intimacy with the girl, Liu Cheng had just finished his breakfast when the snow he had been looking forward to came.

A giant White Eagle C2800 Hercules transport plane gradually slowed down on the runway of Donghuang Port. After the plane stopped, Liu Cheng, Yixian and others walked under the wing and waited for the door of the plane to open. With such a giant transport plane, it is estimated that hundreds of ship girls would be needed.

Liu Cheng touched his nose, wondering what kind of expression he should use to greet everyone. Although he had already guessed it, he still had to act particularly surprised, otherwise he would be sorry for the painstaking efforts of these ship girls who loved him so much... After struggling for a moment, Liu Cheng decided to follow his heart. Even though he had already guessed the surprises the ship girls had for him, he would still be happy to simply see them.

The gangway was set up outside the cabin door, and the cabin slowly opened. Leading the way was a gorgeous British girl with her brilliant blonde hair hidden in the sea breeze. She smiled beautifully when she saw Liu Cheng.

Walking out from behind the Prince of Wales was a tall woman as graceful and elegant as the ice and snow of Northern Europe. Tirpitz pursed his thin lips, and his beautiful blue eyes were filled with Liu Cheng's image.

Then the figure that walked out was elegant and humble, her long silver hair fluttering in the sea breeze, half covering her beautiful face. Every move was so graceful. Head maid Belfast was always so perfect.

"commander!"

"commander."

"Master~"

Liu Cheng couldn't hold back his excitement.

, he took two steps at a time and went forward.

"Welsh, Grapes, Befa!"

Liu Cheng hugged the Prince of Wales, hugged Belfast, put his arms around Tirpitz's slender waist and spun her around several times, unable to stop smiling.

The Prince of Wales smiled and said, "How about it? Are you surprised to see us?"

"Surprise, of course."

Liu Cheng was full of smiles, but he was not simply satisfied. Instead, he looked back past Tirpitz's pretty face and said, "Where are the others? Come out, why are you hiding now? I have prepared gifts for you."

Belfast covered her skirt and said with a faint smile: "Master, there is no one else."

Tirpitz also blinked: "In fact, there are only three of us."

"Huh?" Liu Cheng didn't react for a moment, "You three, are you taking such a big plane?"

The Prince of Wales still smiled: "Of course it's because we have a lot of goods to transport, and we also need to bring more companions back with us on the return journey."

Liu Cheng still didn't understand the situation, and subconsciously said: "Didn't I ask you to bring some other ship girls when you come to pay New Year's greetings? I am the commander of all of you, why are there only three of you..."

"Master, we didn't say we were here to pay New Year's greetings."

"what?"

Tirpitz and the Prince of Wales looked at each other, their hearts filled with joy of surprise.

"In fact, we are here to pick you up to celebrate the New Year in our new home, which will be our forever home."

Chapter 69 A New Beginning

It had rained a little before, so the air was still a little damp, but as the sun came out, it quickly became warm again.

This is an area of ​​sea in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Originally, there were only some scattered reefs, but now a large island has been built through land reclamation. Except for the airport runway on the seashore which has been completed, most of the island is still bare, filled with various materials and equipment, and there are also 3D printing robots in the shape of yellow chickens that are constantly building foundations, flower beds, mountains and other infrastructure.

Although it can be said to be bustling and thriving, this is a construction site after all. It is dusty and messy. There are not many ship girls staying there. Instead, such an open place has become a playground for many lively little girls. Southwest Wind and Reckless are chasing each other in the rubble. Thatcher is lifting a yellow chicken robot that is bigger than her and using its cement-spraying device as a water gun. She has a chicken-eating battle with Mori and Towns. She is really naughty. Washington comes over and scolds them, and they all scatter, leaving only the yellow chicken robot that cannot get up.

On the edge of the runway are several temporary reactors and an artificial lake filled with blue light. It is a space gate temporarily deployed by August, Akashi, Reno and others, derived from Siren technology. On the other side of the gate is an equally bare base in the Atlantic Ocean, which can quickly support the Atlantic battlefield and patrol and take shifts efficiently.

"They're back! Sister Wales is back with the commander!"

Following Firefly's loud shout, many ship girls raised their heads and saw that at the end of the sky, a large transport plane had already poked its head out from the clouds, gradually lowering its altitude and preparing to land on the runway of the island.

So of course such a large transport aircraft had to be dispatched, because not only did they have to bring Egil and other ship girls and the commander over, but also the large amount of New Year's goods prepared by Yixian and the others. Even if there were tens of thousands of buns, with more than six hundred mouths to feed, they would be consumed quickly.

It was difficult for Liu Cheng to describe how excited he was as he walked down the stairs. It was not until the southwest wind shouted "Commander brother" and threw itself into his arms that he began to breathe the fresh air after the rain. Compared to the weather in Donghuang Port, the temperature here was much more pleasant. It might also be because his heart was warm and he felt warm no matter what.

“This will be our home from now on.”

Liu Cheng looked at the still desolate construction site and the many ship girls who came to greet him, and he felt even more emotional than when he defeated the Sirens and joined them in victory.

"Yes." Tirpitz stood beside Liu Cheng, lifted up her pretty short hair that danced in the sea breeze, and pursed her beautiful lips but couldn't stop the smile on her face, "We can watch our home being built bit by bit here. This is the home of all of us. When the snow melts together, everyone will be the same."

Liu Cheng thought of everything he had experienced in the past few years, and it felt like a lifetime ago. From the afternoon when he saw Tirpitz's back at the Tarento harbor, it didn't matter whether it was fate that had begun to change, or whether the commander would eventually come to his loyal Azur Lane. Even if the challenges he would face in the future would be no less than before, he had already seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

“Our goal has finally been achieved.”

"Yeah..." Tirpitz turned her head to look at Liu Cheng and blinked her left eye. Her playful expression did not reduce her dreamy temperament, but made it more vivid. "It's not fully realized yet. This is just the beginning. You will need to keep working hard in the future, Commander."

"It's useless just relying on me. We all need to work together. We did a great job this time."

Liu Cheng put down the Southwest Wind in his arms and ruffled the little girl's short hair. He took Tirpitz's slender hand and walked down the gangway together. There were only a few ship girls here to greet them.

Richelieu's brilliant golden hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and Cardinal Iris's demeanor was even more charming than in the dream.

Dong stepped forward to hug Liu Cheng, and asked playfully, "Is the commander satisfied with our surprise now?"

“It was indeed an unexpected surprise.”

Liu Cheng looked at the beautiful smiles of the ship girls around him. He really hadn't thought about it in this way before. After all, the new home had just been built, and he couldn't make the decision to let everyone leave the warm dormitory and come to this desolate land. But everyone came here spontaneously and secretly prepared such a surprise for him. How could he not be emotional.

The most surprising thing is not the fact that they celebrated the New Year together, but the fact that the ship girls gathered together spontaneously, which shows that they have completely accepted becoming a family. Maybe there will be various conflicts in the future, but those are internal matters, and family members should not have different opinions.

The biggest surprise is that what Liu Cheng has always wanted to do has been truly recognized and supported by the ship girls.

Zhen Hai blinked and said, "Since the commander is satisfied...should we reward everyone?"

Such a big plan certainly requires internal and external connections, otherwise Donghuang would not have prepared so many New Year goods, and many ship girls would not have packed their luggage in advance and waited to meet in the new home.

"You still have the nerve to ask for a reward?"

Liu Cheng said with a stern face, "Do you know what the emperor's mind is? Your behavior of colluding behind the leader's back has violated taboos. I am lucky that I don't punish you."

Hood smiled and said, "So how does the commander plan to punish us?"

"Tonight... No, tonight is New Year's Eve. Tomorrow night, the mastermind must come to my room and must be punished by family law."

"Hehehe——"

Liu Cheng spoke in a threatening manner, but the ship girls who understood the situation just smiled and said nothing. This was not a punishment at all, it was clearly the biggest reward.

The new home was still a wasteland, so the place to eat the New Year's Eve dinner was certainly not here. In fact, it was at the already built dock, where a helicopter carrier of the Sakura Empire was docked. Before the island was fully built, everyone lived there first, as a way to get used to each other in advance.

The huge tail door of the transport plane was opened, revealing mountains of New Year's goods that needed to be unloaded from the plane, loaded onto trucks, and then transported to the dock.

Liu Cheng originally wanted to help, but when he saw the thin and slender Noshiro carrying a small container with both hands, more steadily than if he had hugged his neck, Liu Cheng decided not to make trouble and just gave orders from the side.

"Hu Teng, slow down."

"If you don't want to help, don't stand in the middle of the road. Yes, I'm talking about you, Hindenburg."

"Shigure, don't run around... and Yukikaze, don't block the road."

Xuefeng still insisted on doing what she wanted and refused to listen to orders. Without Kaga's help, Liu Cheng dragged her aside. Xuefeng was still unconvinced. She put her hands on her waist and looked up at Liu Cheng, revealing her cute little fangs: "Instead of ordering others around here, why don't you go up and help move things yourself, Commander?"

Liu Cheng said very frankly: "I can't move it."

"Hmph, useless man, far worse than Lord Yukikaze."

"Oh, then I won't hug you anymore. A useless man can't hug you."

Liu Cheng's casual words immediately broke the defense of the complacent Xuefeng. His big eyes were watery and he didn't know what to say. He just made meaningless whimpers in his throat.

"I'm just kidding. I'll let you talk nonsense. Isn't it easy for a useless man to hug you?"

No matter how cold the heart is, it cannot withstand the little loli's reaction. What's more, Liu Cheng just wanted to bully Xuefeng. He quickly picked up her petite and soft body and rubbed her delicate cheeks.

"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy! Commander, you are such a bad guy! I really thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Xuefeng hugged Liu Cheng's neck tightly, but this tsundere little loli only remembered to eat and not to be beaten. Although she was very clingy now, after a while she felt that she was strong enough and continued to speak rudely to the commander, making Liu Cheng unable to help but bully her again.

But maybe this is Xuefeng's plan. How can I attract the commander's attention if I don't say these arrogant words?

"You're a perverted lolicon!"

Prince Eugen pressed tightly against Liu Cheng's back, stretched out his snow-white neck, and stuck out his smiling head. His soft and plump white breasts did not prevent the beauty's passionate heartbeat from being transmitted to Liu Cheng's body.

Like many other ship girls, she was busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. When she saw the plane land, she dropped her work and ran over. Even though she knew Liu Cheng would be there soon, she still felt relieved after seeing him first.

Liu Cheng rubbed Prince Eugen's hair and said, "I admit that I am a lolita complex, but please don't add the word pervert in front of it, thank you."

Prince Eugen blinked his eyes and pursed his lips in a naive manner: "Aren't you a pervert?"

"of course not."

"If you're not a pervert, why would you let me eat you..."

"Ahem—Xuefeng is still here."

Liu Cheng cleared his throat heavily and quickly interrupted Prince Eugen who was pretending to be coquettish. Even though he knew that Prince Eugen would not really say it, he still couldn't let the little loli hear such things. The glorious image of the commander still had to be maintained.

Xuefeng asked curiously, "What did Eugen eat, Commander?"

Prince Eugen smiled charmingly: "Of course it is delicious and hot..."

"Nothing, you'll understand when you grow up."

Liu Cheng interrupted Eugen again and used the classic

After making an excuse for Xuefeng, Xuefeng pouted and couldn't help looking Liu Cheng up and down. What was it about the commander that made this hot food so delicious?

Liu Cheng has always been very patient with the little loli. The reason he was perfunctory with Xuefeng was mainly because many other ship girls came over.
