Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

Du Lin sipped his tea while admiring the beauty of the lady before him.

"Well, that's it. Now it's sorted."

Yixian put on the last hair accessory, and thus she became the elegant Yixian again.

"Yi-hsien's hair is like silk."

Du Lin stretched out his hand and held up a strand of hair. The silky feeling was amazing.

"Really? I haven't noticed that."

Yixian tilted his head and smiled:

"It takes some effort to keep hair this smooth and silky, and it's essential to comb your hair every morning. Oh, by the way, next time you can comb my hair for me."

Du Lin was cheered up and agreed immediately.

Being able to comb Yixian's hair is naturally a dream come true.

Just then there was a knock on the office door.

Du Lin and Yi Xian were startled, but they quickly calmed down.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the relief in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, they finished in time, otherwise they would have been hit directly.

A scene like that...it's scary just to think about it.

Yixian quickly stood up and straightened his clothes, while Du Lin cleared his throat and said loudly:

"come in."

The door was pushed open, and the person who came in was none other than Anshan, who was in charge of the secretary ship work.

"Commander... Commander!" Anshan was holding a stack of documents in his arms and looked a little nervous.

"Ah, Sister Yixian is here too, that's great." Anshan's expression relaxed a little after seeing Yixian, but then he frowned slightly again.

"Hmm?" Anshan sniffed:

"What's that smell? It's like fresh dried squid... No, it's more..."

Du Lin was shocked, but he said calmly:

"Anshan is so perceptive. I just finished eating a portion of dried squid. I have to say, it's terrible. I'm really not used to the taste."

"is it?"

Anshan was still a little skeptical because she thought the smell was very similar to dried squid, but there was some difference...more like the smell of heather.

"Commander, next time you finish eating these, please open the window immediately."

Yixian said this, walked to the bed calmly and opened the window.

Suddenly, the noisy construction sounds on the construction site outside became louder, but in contrast, the smell in the house became much lighter.

Nowadays, Yixian has become more and more accustomed to covering up for Du Lin in such matters.

Du Lin wanted to tease her, so he deliberately said:

"Yixian, you are such a fool. You ate almost all of the dried squid. How can you blame me?"

Yixian was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed.

She glared at Du Lin, then turned and walked away.

"Anshan, I...I'll go get you a cup of tea."

"Ah, thank you Sister Yixian!"

Anshan didn't notice anything unusual.

In the following time, Du Lin sat idly, watching Anshan ask Yixian for advice on some clerical matters.

Although Anshan looks small, it has already demonstrated sufficient maturity and responsibility.

Unlike her two less reliable sisters, she is already learning how to handle paperwork.

"I see, here we have to do this..."

Anshan suddenly realized and quickly wrote down the key points.

Looking at Anshan's diligence, Yixian showed admiration and affection, and gently stroked the head of the hardworking girl.

I'm so tired, so alone

"If this continues, Anshan will soon be in charge of handling the main port affairs. Well... I think you will be able to do this task well when it is Donghuang's turn next time."

"Thanks to Sister Yixian, I have made such great progress." Anshan was quite excited. Being able to share the worries of Yixian and Du Lin with her own abilities was what made her happiest.

Looking at Anshan who was working so hard, Du Lin suddenly felt a little ashamed.

As a commander, he seems like a hands-off boss.

After asking for advice, Anshan said goodbye and left, leaving Yixian and Du Lin alone in the room again.

"Commander~" Yixian smiled sweetly, stepped forward and gently poked Du Lin's forehead:

"Next time, don't act silly in front of Anshan and the others, or I'll be angry."

Even though it was a reprimand, it didn't have any deterrent effect coming from Yixian's mouth.

This is different from Frederick the Great.

Although Frederick the Great doted on Dühring, when he got serious, Dühring would shudder inside like a real child.

"Sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

Although Yixian's gentleness is a kind of indulgence, Du Lin will not really get carried away.

Yixian is not really angry now, but if he really explodes... the degree of terror will probably not be less than that of Frederick the Great.

After chatting for a while, Yixian suddenly said:

"Commander, what do you think of... Ding'an?"

"Ok?"

This sudden question left Du Lin a little overwhelmed.

"...very capable, her talent is far beyond imagination, and she is truly worthy of the title of a great investor."

Based on his experiences during these days, Du Lin gave a heartfelt evaluation.

If Mingshi is a profiteer and cunning businessman, then Ding'an is an upright actuary.

Judging from the surprises it brings, Shi may be better, but Ding'an is undoubtedly the one who can really make a lot of money.

Apart from anything else, Ding'an has earned an astronomical amount of wealth just from the improvement of the port reconstruction plan.

As for where Ding'an would use the money in the future and how he would use it, Du Lin was extremely curious.

After listening to Du Lin's sigh, Yixian shook his head:

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. Commander, as a man, what do you think of Ding'an?"

"what?"

Du Lin was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Yixian, who was always elegant and reserved, would ask such a bold question.

"...As a man...he should like Ding'an, or at least not hate him."

This is Du Lin’s true feeling.

Ding'an not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has an exaggeratedly graceful figure and a very rare breast cap outfit in Donghuang.

In addition to these superficial qualities, Du Lin also liked Ding'an's outstanding talents and his generous and outspoken personality.

Yixian was very satisfied to hear Du Lin's answer.

If that's the case, then my next plan is...

"Commander, I will prepare some home-cooked dishes the day after tomorrow evening. I hope you can come and enjoy them then."

Yixian's smile was exceptionally bright.

Du Lin had no idea of ​​the meaning behind this smile. He was just looking forward to eating the dishes cooked by Yixian himself.

"Great, I will definitely go."

Volume 90: Chapter The Banquet Begins

The construction work in the port area has entered the sixth day.

If an eagle flew over the island at this moment, it would definitely be able to see an amazing scene from the sky - there are dozens of scaffoldings rising from the ground in half of the port area.

At noon on the sixth day, the sun was shining brightly. Chkalov, wearing a white coat, was talking to a huge yellow chicken while looking at the construction drawings.

The yellow chicken wearing a safety helmet nodded repeatedly, and after receiving the latest instructions, it ran quickly to the construction site with the drawings.

Under the shade of a tree not far away, Ding'an, wearing a sun hat, was fanning himself.

“The weather is getting hotter…”

Ding'an's face was flushed and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

She kept fanning herself with her hands, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

At this time, she was a little envious of Chkalov who was not far away. The ship girls of the Northern Alliance were all wearing very thick clothes, but they all had excellent heat resistance.

"Sister Ding'an!"

Anshan was trotting towards this side with a thermos cup in her hand.

Ding'an was quite surprised:

"Anshan, what are you doing here? Does the commander have any new instructions?"

These days Anshan has been in the office, acting as a trainee secretary.

"No..." Anshan shook his head and handed over the thermos cup in his hand:

"This is the mung bean soup that Sister Yixian made. She asked me to bring it to you to cool you down."

"Wow~ As expected of Yixian, you are so thoughtful~"

Ding'an took the thermos cup, opened it, and couldn't wait to drink it.

The iced mung bean water flowed down Ding'an's throat, moistening his tongue and throat.

"Wow~"

Ding'an sighed:

"Sure enough, I have to eat this in hot weather~"

"I'm glad you're satisfied." Anshan was also happy to be able to help Ding'an. She suddenly remembered that there was something more important to convey, so she quickly said:

"By the way, please finish work early tonight. The commander is coming to visit, and Sister Yixian is going to cook for us herself."

"As expected of the commander, Yixian really favors you~"

Ding'an was a little envious. Among Donghuang's shipgirls, Yixian was the one with the best cooking skills.

However, she seldom cooks herself these days, and only teaches Shuang Hai and An Shan as a teacher.

"I understand. Today will end early."

Dingan nodded heavily.

............

As night fell, Ding'an finished his inspection and supervision work and returned to the Donghuang territory much earlier than usual.

At this time, Du Lin had already arrived.

"Haha, it seems that you have remembered Anshan's instructions very well."

Yixian was very happy that Ding'an came back in time. Wearing an apron, she urged Ding'an to go and wash himself quickly.
