Helen tried to stand up in a panic, but the more anxious she was, the less control she had over her body.

After struggling for a while, the two of them stuck closer together. Helen could even feel that because of her messy struggles, the young and strong commander's body had reacted strongly and hard.

It's bad.

If an outsider came now, he would definitely think she was playing some kind of fitness game.

Sure enough, she messed up again.

Helen sighed deeply in her heart, closed her eyes, and wanted to accept the scolding.

But after a moment, Green, who was pressed under her, just reached out and patted her back encouragingly: "Don't be nervous, take your time, Helen, we have plenty of time."

Helen was struck by his tenderness.

She had never thought that there was someone in this world who could make a mistake and not be criticized, especially someone like her, Nikki.

She was silent for a long time before she asked with a guilty look on her face, "I'm surprised...you, don't you criticize me?"

"I didn't do the job you assigned me today. I didn't even complete something as simple as lying in the hammock. I even caused you to fall down with me. Honestly, if it were me, I would definitely scold you harshly, just like I usually do to Anke and Master."

Green smiled and comforted him, "After all, it's your first time. Isn't it always like this for the first time?"

Helen still didn't want to let herself go: "This is not an excuse. Nikki's physical fitness is superior to that of humans in every aspect, but I fell so miserably, and even fell on you. This is simply ridiculous."

"Helen, why are you so hard on yourself?"

"Because... because I absolutely cannot fail." Helen was silent for a moment, then finally spoke her mind. "Sir, we are the Ark's only navy, its only warship, and the Ark's most expensive unit to maintain. This heavy responsibility falls entirely on Master, Anke, and me, and this is the first time for us to shoulder this responsibility."

“No one ever told us that it’s okay because it’s your first time.”

"After all, everyone invested so much manpower and resources. This was a mistake, and we know we were wrong. Such pale apologies are completely meaningless. We must do everything to perfection to avoid any accidents. And this is us, the Aegis Force."

"You are too anxious, Helen. Emotions are contagious and will eventually affect your companions." Seeing that she was beginning to fall into anxiety again, Green comforted her again.

"I know, but I have too much responsibility on my shoulders. Master, Anker, La Citation, and so many people who support us... It's hard for me not to be anxious."

Helen still felt very guilty.

Until Green took her hand and clasped it tightly.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"!!"

Helen's face flushed red.

But he smiled at her and said, "Helen, I've said before that your companions are neither a burden to you nor a responsibility you should bear. You don't need to carry everything on your shoulders."

"You have to remember that they are your companions, the ones who will stand behind you and support you when you are in crisis, not burdens you have to carry on your shoulders."

"Is that so?"

"I don't think I've ever thought of it that way before."

"So starting today, try to trust the people around you. That feeling is better than you can imagine."

"......"

Helen thought silently for a while.

The hand that was being held by her also quietly clasped it tightly and held his palm.

A blushing and heart-pounding feeling suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart.

Helen felt itchy all over and her face flushed because of this inexplicable feeling. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but maybe she had known it for a long time and just didn't want to admit it.

"Sir, my heart is beating so fast all of a sudden."

"You, tell me, am I... am I sick?"

------------

I've been staying up late these past few days and I'm not feeling well.

Take a break and add two more chapters tomorrow.

Chapter 4300 Helen: Boss Yang’s goods are a bit pure ()

On the beach, Helen held his hand tightly for a long time.

She really wanted to make this ambiguous moment last longer, but when she thought about the fact that the commander in front of her was her superior after all, Helen quickly let go of her hand.

"call..."

She took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, stood up from the beach with a flushed face, and then patted the dirt and sand off her body as if nothing had happened.

It’s not that Helen doesn’t want to respond to the feelings in her heart.

However, there has never been such a precedent in the Ark.

For a soldier like her, the thought of Nikki and the commander falling in love was something she couldn't even imagine.

"Helen, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing!"

"Sir, I have benefited greatly from your guidance... The sun is setting, let's go back and have dinner together."

"Let's go together then."

The two returned to the beach together.

The Nikkis, who had finished their work, had already gathered together and started preparing for the party.

Anis and Nian had somehow managed to get a grill and a bunch of fresh frozen ingredients, and were now grilling fresh meat in full swing. Beside them, Yang Zheng was looking at the skewers of meat sizzling on the grill with a look of pain on his face.

"Those are all my precious credits! I was planning to use them to make a killing!"

"Oh, Boss Yang, it's so rare for us to come to the beach, how can you sell all that food?" Anis laughed and said shamelessly, "Besides, you see, our outpost often cooperates with you. If you even negotiate money for these barbecues, it would hurt our relationship!"

"That's right, Boss Yang, don't you want to build a good relationship with Master? If you want to build a good relationship with him, then you also have to build good relationships with us veterans of the outpost, right?" Nien also smiled and secretly followed suit, "Today's effort will be tomorrow's reward! Just think of it as an investment!"

"That's what I said..."

"But I've made a huge loss this time. I paid for your custom swimsuits and provided you with barbecue for free. I have to make some money." Yang opened her fan with a click. After thinking for a while, she happily took out a small refrigerator full of drinks from her suitcase.

"I'll just treat the barbecue as free for you."

"But these iced drinks can't be free anymore. Come on, come on, choose one!"

"I have grape, orange, and all kinds of wine here. They're on sale for a limited time now, 10 credits per glass!"

"One drink for 10? Why don't you just go and rob it?!"

"What a profiteer!"

Everyone was laughing and making noise when Green sat down and simply waved his hand to book Yang's small ice storage.

"Yang, I want all these iced drinks. Just name the amount and I'll earn the money for you later."

"Alright! As expected of the outpost's big star, you're so generous! Since your commander has booked the entire place, everyone, help yourself to a drink!"

"Great!"

"Master, I just grilled some shrimp and squid. Come and try them!"

Green took several large skewers of sizzling oil from Nian.

Although I don’t know where Nian learned the barbecue technique, the barbecue she cooked is indeed tender and delicious. The juicy and oily cumin grilled shrimp is mouth-watering just by looking at it.

"Would Helen like to eat?"

Green handed a skewer of grilled shrimp and squid to Helen, who was sitting next to him around the campfire.

She glanced at his profile with a subtle expression, but shook her head and declined.

"Sir, thank you for your kindness, but I find it difficult to eat such soft marine creatures..."

"so."

"Nian, I'll get another skewer of beef."

"Alright! Master, you can eat as much as you want, just put it on Boss Yang's bill!"

one more time.

Green handed Helen the beef kebabs.

This time, she finally did not refuse, but accepted it with pleasure, but there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

As for the reason for the confusion, it is quite clear.

No one at the Ark had ever told Helen.

What would she do if one day she fell in love with a commander at first sight?

Obviously, this is a super difficult problem.

First of all, Green is Helen's superior. As a human commander, his status is definitely higher than Nikki's. In the current Ark, there is basically no precedent of Nikki and a commander falling in love. If she confesses her feelings abruptly, she will probably be rejected, right?

Therefore, it is reasonable to deal with this issue in a more tactful way.

But she was a woman who didn't know how to socialize. Helen racked her brains for ideas but couldn't come up with any roundabout way. Who made her the kind of woman who was straightforward and didn't know how to adapt?

Helen stared blankly at the skewers in her hand. Her thoughts were like a tangled mess and she couldn't make sense of them.

So what should she do now?

Should I express my feelings, or is it necessary to keep some distance?

But by doing this, wouldn’t it make me seem too heartless?

All kinds of thoughts surged in Helen's mind like bubbles, causing her CPU to burn out a bit. She took two bites of the skewers, put down the delicious barbecue in her hand, and glanced at the happy party around her.

Almost all of the Nikkis were chatting and laughing, or had their own things to do, and had a variety of topics to talk about.

She was the only one sitting there, entangled in the thoughts in her mind.

Ugh.

Helen sighed softly.

At this moment, even if others didn't say it, she realized that the image she had in the eyes of others was actually that of a straightforward, dull, and somewhat rigid and arrogant person.

No wonder she always makes the atmosphere so bad.

But why didn’t I realize these shortcomings of mine before?

Helen moved to another corner and sat down, lost in thought.

On the other side, Yang also noticed Helen who looked troubled.

This Ark's naval admiral has been sighing ever since she arrived at the beach, making the originally happy atmosphere a little solemn. If she continues like this, how can she sell her products?

After thinking for a while, Yang took out a drink from her small refrigerator, poured it into a tall glass, and then handed it to Green.

"Hello, my dear rich commander."

"I'll sell you this drink for a little bit. Go comfort Helen. She's been so depressed all day. Even I can't stand it."

"Hmm, so what kind of drink is this?" Green took the goblet and glanced at the red liquid inside. "Juice?"

"It's the leftover watermelon juice from today's sale. Sweet juice can really make people feel better. Okay, stop asking so many questions and go."

Holding a goblet full of juice, Green looked back at Yang who was selling something to Nikki and the others again, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Boss Yang, I didn’t expect you to be such a kind person!

I'm grateful for your kindness this time, and I'll definitely repay you next time.

After a while.

Green walked over to Helen and handed her the glass of juice.

Helen raised her head and looked at him with a little surprise: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"This is juice that will make you feel better if you drink it. Take a sip and consider it a gift."

"A gift? Thank you. I'm welcome."

Helen raised her goblet, tilted her head back and gulped down the drink.

I have to say that the juice is indeed very sweet and has a delicate taste, but when you taste it carefully, it doesn't seem to be juice, and there seems to be some strange things mixed in it. After taking a sip, Helen smiled and was about to say something when a sudden itchy feeling surged from the bottom of her heart.

What, what's going on?
