KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Chapter 138: There is more than one person who is snatching a man

Not long after Bismarck left, Tirpitz and Prince Eugen came out from the darkness.

Tirpitz and Liu Cheng looked at each other, nodded, and walked out from another direction. According to the plan, she was going to run into her sister by chance, and then ask her in a slightly resentful tone "Have you seen Liu Cheng?" This would deepen Bismarck's confusion and guilt, making her unable to calm down on this matter.

Emotions need to accumulate little by little before they can finally explode.

Liu Cheng's chest heaved twice. He had only said a few words, but he felt more tired than fighting all night. He leaned tiredly against a tree trunk and let out a long sigh.

Prince Eugen looked at Liu Cheng and bit her lower lip. Of course she heard the conversation between the two just now. At that moment, Prince Eugen wished that Liu Cheng was talking to her. She was willing to believe it even if he was lying to her. In the end, if it was herself who was forced into a corner by Liu Cheng and had her hand grabbed, she probably wouldn't be able to break free.

But the next moment, Prince Eugen raised her mischievous smile again and walked in front of Liu Cheng.

"Your acting was great just now."

Liu Cheng laughed at himself and said, "Isn't that very perverted? I thought I was using too much force."

"It's quite perverted, but you said it yourself beforehand, it's a success if you don't get beaten." Prince Eugen leaned his delicate body against the other side of the tree trunk, gently rubbing Liu Cheng's shoulder.

"Indeed, not being beaten is a success, and not being beaten to death is a victory."

"That's a great victory." Prince Eugen said with a wandering gaze, "But to be honest, your performance just now didn't seem like acting. If it was acting, then your acting skills really impressed me."

"No, I'm still not as good as you in acting."

Liu Cheng responded casually. He looked at the moonlight shining through the leaves. The desire to talk made him continue, "To be honest, even I can't tell. It must be partly my acting. This kind of toughness is not my style. But I do think so. Bismarck is very attractive, whether as a leader or a woman. After all, I am such a philandering scumbag. In fact, I have been attracted to her. It seems that

That makes sense. ”

"So you do prefer Bismarck?"

"That's not it. I will always love Tirpitz, my goddess, mine."

"Tsk." Prince Eugen sneered, then paused and said, "To be honest, based on my understanding of Bismarck, if she had no other thoughts about you, she would have taught you a lesson without hesitation. But she didn't even refute it, and it seemed more like she was trying to escape. Maybe she really has you in her heart."

Liu Chengxin jumped suddenly and said, "Is this true?"

"Of course it is..." Prince Eugen turned his head and whispered in Liu Cheng's ear, "It's fake!"

Then a silver bell-like laugh flowed out from her Danzhu's lips, sounding so light and graceful in the night.

Liu Cheng rubbed his ears and joked, "No matter what, I'll take it seriously. Next, I'm going to make the fake play real. I want Tirpitz and Bismarck. Anyway, I'm such a scumbag, I've given up on myself."

Prince Eugen said in a rising tone: "So you haven't given up on yourself yet?"

"Of course, I am a very moral person. I am polite to women, I take responsibility lightly, and I bring evil to justice..."

Liu Cheng stopped because Prince Eugen turned around and pressed him against the tree. The charming face slowly brushed past him, and Liu Cheng could feel a soft and slightly wet touch brushing his cheek. It was just a light touch, as if a spring dream left no trace.

"Since you still have morals, I will make you feel even more ashamed. You are having an affair with me behind the backs of Tirpitz and Bismarck." Prince Eugen blinked and blew gently on Liu Cheng's face, bringing hot air and fragrance. "Hehe, you look confused. This is a good reaction. I am just comforting you. Don't think too much."

Having said that, Prince Eugen patted Liu Cheng on the chest, turned around and walked out. She was afraid that if she didn't leave, it would not just be a kiss on the cheek. The urge to hug him, the urge to be possessed by him, was an urge that was becoming more and more difficult to suppress.

"Is it true or false this time?" Liu Cheng came back to his senses and asked Prince Eugen from behind.

Prince Eugen waved his hand without turning his head and said, "Of course it's fake."

Liu Cheng shook his head, looked at Prince Eugen who was walking further and further away, and murmured, "I think it's true."

“I think it’s true, too.”

Zhenhai slowly walked out from another hiding place and said, "Prince Eugen is really not frank."

Liu Cheng glanced at the beautiful strategist. The moonlight shone on her flawless face, making her look stunningly beautiful.

"You are the same, hiding somewhere else without even Eugen noticing."

"When you attack someone unexpectedly, you will always get unexpected rewards. Now I know a little bit about Miss Prince Eugen's weaknesses." Zhenhai fluttered his eyelashes with a smug smile on his face. "You performed very well just now. You have great skills."

"Of course, this is the Qiong Yao method of interpretation. As long as the voice is loud enough and the words are enough, it will appear very imposing."

Zhenhai said: "Then it will be difficult to grasp the next step. You need to be restrained, but also enthusiastic."

Liu Cheng thought about it and said, "It feels so difficult."

He asked for help, but got no response. Liu Cheng looked at the smile on Zhenhai's face and knew what he should say. He bowed to the beautiful strategist and said, "I am stupid. Please teach me, my strategist Miss Zhenhai."

Zhenhai smiled with satisfaction and stretched out three white fingers: "I have three strategies: top, middle and bottom..."

"I'll listen to the best policy."

His words were interrupted, Zhenhai glanced at Liu Cheng charmingly and said, "Nothing great can be accomplished without patience."

Liu Cheng said seriously: "It's not that I don't have patience, it's mainly because I trust you. If you think it's the best strategy, then it's definitely the best strategy."

"That's all." Zhenhai smiled and shook his head, saying, "The best strategy is to follow the kingly way. Mencius once said that those who use force to pretend to be benevolent will become hegemons, and those who practice virtue and benevolence will become kings. In simpler terms, it means that one should have a correct attitude and enthusiastic actions, for example..."

Zhenhai paused, perhaps because she was affected by Prince Eugen's behavior just now, she also wanted to take him by surprise.

So Zhenhai looked at Liu Cheng gently, she stretched out her hands, and in the moonlight, she meticulously straightened Liu Cheng's collar, with her lowered brows and a submissive look as if a newlywed wife was welcoming her beloved husband. Although it was such a serious action, done by the beautiful Zhenhai, it made Liu Cheng's heart beat more than Prince Eugen's kiss just now.

"As my partner, you must always maintain your appearance."

After saying this, Zhenhai lowered his head shyly, as if he had just mustered up the courage to do something bold.

But soon, Zhenhai raised his head again and blinked: "Now you understand, your behavior can go beyond the relationship, but your attitude should still remain reserved. It's not easy to refuse in this way."

"Oh... I think I understand."

"Hehehe."

Zhenhai saw Liu Cheng's helpless expression due to her unexpected behavior, and felt proud in his heart. This time he had won a small victory.

Chapter 139 Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing

Liu Cheng roughly understood it, and it didn't seem difficult to put it into practice.

As Zhenhai expected, after Liu Cheng's bold and passionate confession that night, although Bismarck did not have an outburst on the spot, she behaved even more coldly and distant afterwards. She tried not to show up wherever Liu Cheng was present. When she had to show up, she would have a cold face and ignore Liu Cheng no matter what happened.

It's just that guilt, regret, and confusion have affected Biss.

Mai's judgment, or rather, she would never have thought that Tirpitz and Prince Eugen, whom she trusted the most, were Liu Cheng's accomplices, so even if she deliberately avoided them, she still could not avoid meeting Liu Cheng.

In the morning, Liu Cheng knocked on the door with the prepared breakfast. Bismarck didn't open the door, so Tirpitz opened it for him.

The sandwich was paired with Bismarck's favorite garlic-flavored German sausage. With a passionate look in her eyes, she just handed the food to Bismarck reservedly. She didn't want to eat it, but Liu Cheng signaled Tirpitz to be next to her so that she wouldn't notice anything unusual, so Bismarck ate it anyway.

It tasted good, but Bismarck felt more and more guilty the more he ate. Why did he think it tasted good?

That was all. Liu Cheng didn't talk much to Bismarck, but she noticed that there were several blisters on Liu Cheng's hands, which were obviously caused by the burns just now.

Distressed? Disgusted?

Bismarck couldn't express herself, and she became more confused.

This was not Liu Cheng's self-torture, but an accident. He insisted on making breakfast by himself and only let Zhenhai guide him. He was so flustered that he was scalded by the hot oil several times. Zhenhai commented that he had enthusiasm but no talent.

To be honest, Liu Cheng thought that his culinary talent was already amazing compared to Belfast and the others, but was just a little weak compared to Zhenhai.

During the break and entertainment, Liu Cheng sat next to Tirpitz, but faced Bismarck sideways.

He took the initiative to pour water for Bismarck and gave it to her politely.

"Help Tirpitz first."

"Both. You are Tirpitz's sister, so you are half the elder. It is reasonable for me to give it to you first."

"..."

So you actually have feelings for your elders?

He openly praised the beauty of her clothing combinations, and even when Bismarck was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, he still praised her in different ways.

"Don't focus on this kind of thing."

"I just feel something in my heart, so I'm just telling the truth." Liu Cheng said, "Beautiful is beautiful, Tirpitz, don't you think so?"

Tirpitz echoed: "Bismarck certainly has enviable beauty."

"That's true." Prince Eugen said with a somewhat sly tone, "Liu Cheng, you didn't praise us at all, but only praised you, Bismarck. There must be a reason for that."

Bismarck: "..."

This kind of thing happened countless times in the past few days. Liu Cheng's words and actions clearly exceeded the relationship between a brother-in-law and an elder sister-in-law, but his attitude was correct, which prevented Bismarck from getting angry.

After the straightforward confession that night, Bismarck was treated so warmly and yet so reservedly that she had no chance to refuse. The more this happened, the more tangled she became. The confusion made it difficult for her to see clearly her own heart. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open every night and often could not sleep all night.

Hood also couldn't sleep because she realized that Liu Cheng was not only cold to her recently, but also intimate with other people. He was obviously trying to please Bismarck with an almost humble attitude. This was what she could not accept the most. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.

In fact, Liu Cheng has not been sleeping well recently. Every night, in addition to the people who hold back Hood and Bismarck, the other ship girls have to meet with him to review the script, memorize the lines, and confirm the process. The ship girls of Iron Blood and Royal have to mock each other from time to time.

"As expected of you, your acting is really good. Oh, I remember now, selling out teammates is an old tradition of the British Empire."

"Same here, same here. I remember that in history, your teammates either lost or voted. Don't hold us back this time."

Of course, no matter what they say, for the sake of their respective friends, the two groups of ship girls still have to cooperate sincerely.

It is necessary to let Hood see Liu Cheng being intimate with other ship girls, especially currying favor with Bismarck.

But Bismarck must not be allowed to see Liu Cheng's intimacy with other ship girls. She must be made to think that Liu Cheng is just being attentive to her. This will help to overcome her defenses more quickly. This also requires Tirpitz and Prince Eugen to divert Bismarck's attention in a timely manner.

As a hub, Zhenhai is responsible for collecting intelligence and directing the operations of the participating ship girls.

Liu Cheng is even more of a master of time management. One moment he was rubbing elbows with the Prince of Wales in the grove, shaking hands with them, and the next moment he might be holding a bouquet of flowers and putting them in a vase in Bismarck's room, looking at the flowers with a look of unrequited love, and then being seen by Hood...

The few people, with Liu Cheng as the center, cooperated more and more tacitly as if they were a precision instrument. Bismarck and Hood did have doubts in the process, but no matter how suspicious they were, they would not believe that their friends and enemies around them would unite to set up a trap. Naturally, they got deeper and deeper into this process and could not extricate themselves.

After three days of brewing, this emotion finally reached a critical point.

Bismarck found Liu Cheng and said to him seriously, "Do you have time? I must have a good talk with you."

"Okay, as long as it is your request, I will definitely satisfy it."

"Don't be so frivolous, I'm serious!" Bismarck said to Liu Cheng with a look of disdain, like a lion suppressing his anger, "Determine the time, I want to make it clear to you this time."

Bismarck showed off her leadership, but Liu Cheng knew that she was just a weakling. However, she still looked serious and said, "Okay, I'm free this afternoon. At 2pm, we'll have a good talk in the coconut grove southeast of the beach."

"That's pretty much it."

Confirm the time

After that, Bismarck immediately turned around, as if she didn't want to say a word to Liu Chengduo, but in fact it was just to avoid exposing her weakness.

After Bismarck left, Liu Cheng took out his cell phone and sent a message to his contact Hood on it - Sorry, I have an appointment with Bismarck to meet in the coconut grove southeast of the beach at 2:20 pm. Let's make an appointment again when we are free.

That’s right, that coconut grove was where Liu Cheng was slapped, and it was also where Hood lost his first kiss to Liu Cheng.

Zhenhai came over and nodded to Liu Cheng, indicating that everything had been arranged.

The emotions have been suppressed to the critical point, just waiting to explode.

Chapter 140: Hood sees Bismarck, Bismarck sees Tirpitz

In the afternoon, Bismarck sent Prince Eugen away and went to the place agreed with Liu Cheng alone.

During these three days, she asked herself countless times whether she really liked Liu Cheng's attitude of admiration and a little bit of dependence on him.

Bismarck felt that it should not be the case. Although Liu Cheng was really reliable, although she had been moved by this man many times, and although he seemed to have a special magic that made the Mind Cube feel peaceful and trustworthy, this should not be the love between a man and a woman.

The reason why she did not reject Liu Cheng in person that night was only because of Tirpitz, which made it difficult for her to make a decision for a while, and it was not because she was happy or touched in her heart. Bismarck believed that perhaps it was because of his hesitation that Liu Cheng had a lucky mentality and made these actions in the past few days.

So Bismarck decided to completely cut off Liu Cheng's thoughts during this conversation and leave absolutely no room for maneuver.

She is Bismarck, Tirpitz's sister, and the flagship of the Iron Blood. Even though she is no longer the invincible leader of the Iron Blood and can no longer lead everyone to victory on the battlefield, she is still the uncompromising and courageous Bismarck.

It had just rained yesterday, and the scorching sun quickly evaporated all the moisture. The moisture remaining in the soil permeated the coconut grove, making even the shady places filled with heat.

Bismarck frowned slightly, because the agreed time had come, but Liu Cheng had not arrived yet. Even though she had decided to break up, she thought that Liu Cheng was not a person who was not punctual. Could something have delayed him?

Just when Bismarck was considering whether to wait a little longer or go back to the small building to ask Liu Cheng, she saw a figure sneaking into the coconut grove. However, this person was not Liu Cheng, but a tall, beautiful woman with a sad and serious expression.

【Hood? Why is she here? 】

Bismarck was not the type to hide herself, not even when facing Hood. She just didn't want others to know that she had made an appointment with Liu Cheng, and she didn't want others to hear her conversation with Liu Cheng. So without hesitation, Bismarck hid in the shadow of a coconut tree to prevent Hood from discovering her presence.

Almost at the same time when Hood came over, Bismarck received a message on his mobile phone, a message from Liu Cheng - Sorry, I can't come because of something urgent, you don't have to wait, go first.

Bismarck frowned slightly and replied with only two words - reason?

She raised her eyes from the phone screen and saw Hood secretly hiding in a bush. Her intuition told her that something must be wrong, but this strange situation made her unable to find a clue for a while, so Bismarck decided to remain unchanged before Liu Cheng replied.

Hood didn't understand, she really didn't understand.

Why did Liu Cheng, who had been kissing her actively, suddenly become so cold recently?

If it was because of the slap, she apologized and he accepted the apology, and before Liu Cheng became cold, they spent such a plain but warm and happy time together, why did it turn out like this?

It would have been fine if he had just become cold, but Liu Cheng was still very attentive to Bismarck.
