Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

There are many destroyers in the Iron Blood camp, but they basically live independently, and Z23 is no exception.

"This is Z23's room."

The two stopped in front of a door, and Du Lin saw the name clearly marked on the doorplate.

"Then it's up to the commander."

Frederick the Great smiled slightly, and she said nothing more, but turned and left.

"Don't let me down, kid."

These were the last words left by Frederick the Great.

Durin watched Frederick the Great leave, then turned to face the door.

He knew it was his turn.

Du Lin took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the sound rang out, Z23's vague voice came from inside the house:

"Is... is it the Commander?"

Hearing this voice, Du Lin was refreshed. He raised his voice slightly and said:

"Yes, it's me. Z23, can you open the door?"

After a brief silence, Du Lin faintly heard footsteps, and then the door was finally opened.

Z23's figure appeared in front of Du Lin again.

Z23's face was still flushed at this time. She lowered her head slightly and did not dare to look directly at Du Lin. She just stepped aside and whispered:

"Commander... please, please come in."

"Yes, sorry to bother you then."

Du Lin entered Z23's room, and Z23 quickly closed the door behind him.

Is this Z23's room?

Du Lin looked around and saw that the room was generally in warm tones. Whether it was the color of the wallpaper or the bed sheets, tables and chairs, they were all soothing colors.

Du Lin even saw a few cute dolls placed on the bed.

However, although the atmosphere of the room is very girly, everything is neat and clean, revealing the owner's meticulousness.

Just like Z23's personality.

"Please...please take a seat!"

Z23 awkwardly guided Du Lin to sit on the carpet in front of him, and then served him freshly brewed coffee.

After that, Z23 sat obediently next to it.

“Oh, can you also make coffee?”

Du Lin was a little surprised.

"Hmm..." Z23, still with his head down, responded vaguely:

"A little...learned a little."

"Then I'm welcome."

Du Lin picked up the cup and took a sip, then showed a somewhat painful expression.

Hans, your coffee is really terrible.

Fortunately, Z23 lowered her head at this time, otherwise my behavior would definitely make her sad.

Putting down the cup calmly, Du Lin looked at the shy girl and said helplessly:

"Z23, please raise your head. We can't have a conversation if you're like this."

"Yes Yes!"

Z23 finally mustered up the courage to raise her head and face Du Lin. Although the girl tried her best to suppress the emotions welling up in her chest, her constantly rubbing legs and clenched hands still exposed her nervousness.

Du Lin saw all of this.

This won't work. Z23 is too nervous to communicate.

Thinking of this, Du Lin decided to fight poison with poison.

Since Z23 is nervous about my arrival, I might as well be more direct.

"Commander?"

Z23 saw Du Lin move his body to her side.

As a result, the distance between the two was less than a fist, and Z23 could even faintly feel the temperature of Du Lin's body.

"Woo!"

The girl became even more nervous, her whole body tensed up, and her heartbeat was so loud that even Du Lin could hear it.

But...Z23 did not run away. After all, this was her room and there was nowhere to escape even if she wanted to.

"Hey, hey, I'm not some big bad wolf. There's no need to be so nervous, right?"

Du Lin said with a smile, then gently placed his hand on Z23's hand.

The effect is immediate.

Z23's whole body trembled violently, as if a taut bowstring had finally broken, and he completely relaxed.

"Ha ha......"

She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.

But this state did not last long, and Z23's breathing soon calmed down.

Z23 was surprised to find that he was not as nervous as before.

She turned her head and saw Du Lin smiling at her:

"How is it, is it getting better?"

"Uh-huh!"

Z23 nodded slightly. Although she was still a little shy when facing Du Lin, she was much more stable than before.

Only then did Z23 realize how out of control he had been.

"I was shaken by what Sister Ron said, Commander, I'm very sorry!"

Z23 bowed his head again.

"You've apologized enough today." Du Lin smiled and stroked Z23's head.

"Okay, from now on you are not allowed to apologize anymore. Don't ask why, this is the commander's order."

Order......

Z23's eyes lit up. It was almost instinctive for her to obey orders.

"I understand." Z23 relaxed and gradually returned to her previous style. She asked curiously:

"Commander, are you here to comfort me?"

"Of course." Du Lin nodded:

"But it's more than just comfort. I'm here to... respond to Z23's feelings."

"what......"

Z23's face turned red again, but this time she did not escape. Instead, she stared into Du Lin's eyes.

"Frederick just reminded me, and I finally realized how bad my behavior was at the beach..."

Du Lin sighed and shook his head:

"When I think about it now, I can't help but want to punch myself in the face."

"commander......"

Z23 opened her eyes wide. Just as she was about to say something, Du Lin spoke first:

"But it's not too late now. I...decided to respond to Z23 by taking action to show my attitude."

Du Lin suddenly became serious. He stared into Z23's eyes and whispered:

"Z23, I... like you."

Volume 163: Chapter Countless "Last Times"

"I like you."

Du Lin's words were straightforward and direct, without any embellishment or sensationalism.

Z23's mind went blank, and it took him a while to react.

"Commander...is this true?"

Z23's voice was trembling:

"I don't need comfort... I just want to know your true feelings..."

"Oh, of course it's true!"

Du Lin nodded, took Z23's hand and pressed his palm against his heart.

"Listen here, the body's instinctive reaction cannot be concealed."

Z23 could feel a strong heartbeat, which was beating much faster than normal.

The commander was also nervous, just like me...

Z23 just felt dizzy and was overwhelmed by intense happiness.

Commander, I really... like myself.

"Am I dreaming?"

"Hehe~~"

Z23 laughed foolishly, without any trace of the panic he had just shown.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Du Lin stretched out his other hand and waved it in front of Z23, but the other party did not respond at all.

Du Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really unexpected that the confession he had the courage to make had such an effect.

But Du Lin can also understand Z23's feelings.

The happiest thing in the world is to receive a sincere response from the one you love.

Frederick the Great, Belfast, Yixian, etc.... When Du Lin recalled the time when he and they were in harmony with each other, his mood and state were not much better than Z23's at this moment.

"Commander..." Z23 suddenly spoke:

"Am I... dreaming?"

The girl still couldn't believe it completely because it was all too beautiful.

"Of course not. The evidence is... this is it."

Du Lin came up with an idea. He reached out and gently pinched Z23's face. The force he used was not great, but the tearing sensation was enough to make Z23 feel a little pain.

“Ouch…it hurts…”

Z23 called out vaguely, and Du Lin let go of his hand at this time.

Z23 took his hand back and gently rubbed the place where he was pinched. The remaining pain there clearly told Z23 that this was not a dream, this was real.

When her true feelings were reciprocated, Z23 did not feel too much joy, but just felt warm inside, and her whole body was filled with the feeling called "happiness".

"commander......"

Z23 felt that he needed to make a formal confession.
