"Commander, if you have anything to say, just say it." Independent thought for a moment and said.

"Nothing." Huang Chen shook his head nonchalantly. Just as he was about to continue walking, he suddenly found himself being pulled back by Duli. The girl was standing behind him, looking at him with a slight frown.

"what happened?"

"Commander, I'm not very good at guessing what others are thinking...so no matter what, I hope you can tell me directly."

Huang Chen chuckled after hearing this, "Actually, I don't have any ideas at all. And some things don't need to be explained so clearly, right?"

He thought of what Princeton had said before, that unintentional words are the true feelings. The girl was a little dissatisfied with him, so did she have to say it out loud?

"'Some things don't need words?' I don't quite understand. If you don't say it, then you won't know anything, right? Just like I like the Commander very much, but if I don't say it, then the Commander won't know, right?"

Independence said with a frown.

Chapter 293 You Come at the Right Time

"Ok?"

Huang Chen froze for a moment, looking at the girl, not knowing what to say. The words were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

"What's wrong, Commander? Is there something I said wrong?" Duli asked, somewhat puzzled. "If something isn't said clearly, how can others possibly know?"

"No." Huang Chen shook his head. Is the problem still here? No longer.

"No, what's the meaning of no?" Duli frowned even tighter than before. "Can't we just keep things like this to ourselves? Commander, please speak up."

"But..." Huang Chen felt anxious. You have already said that you like me. Can the focus of the topic go back to what it was before?

"Why not?" Duli said firmly. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. "Could it be that the commander doesn't want to tell me?"

She was stunned and silent, lowered her head and looked at Huang Chen without saying anything else.

"I understand. I won't ask again."

Huang Chen sighed and looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, "What are you thinking about?"

"Isn't that what you meant, Commander?"

"Of course not." Huang Chen shook his head and expressed his concerns. "I was just a little worried just now. I was worried that even though you didn't say it verbally, you still had prejudices in your hearts about me disappearing for so long."

Although he was quite hesitant before saying it, because in his opinion there was no point in saying it.

There are only two possibilities: mind or not mind. If she doesn't mind, that's fine, but what if she does mind? Can I be so eloquent and make the girl not mind?

So he never said anything, but decided to take action to improve the situation.

But after he said it, he felt a sense of peace, as if all the dust had settled.

"Hmm?" Independent frowned, looking at the commander in surprise, "Just this?"

"What do you mean it's just this?" Huang Chen was a little dissatisfied. "I've been troubled by this for a long time."

He walked to the shade of a tree nearby, and Duli followed him.

Princeton kept looking at the magazine in her hand and walking in the sun, but no one paid attention to her, so no one reminded her.

"There's no need to worry about things like this." Duli shook his head and said, "The commander is back. Nothing else matters."

"Sure enough." Huang Chen said, "Sure enough, other things are not important. In other words, you still care about them, right? You just can let them go for the time being."

"Well...you could say that." Duli nodded.

Huang Chen was a little surprised and a little dissatisfied. "You actually admitted it like that? Shouldn't you comfort me? Tell me that you don't care at all?"

"Comfort? Commander, do you need comfort?" Duli said doubtfully. "Besides, that's what I thought. The Commander has been gone for so long, I can't help but feel a little unhappy sometimes. But now that the Commander is back, I don't care anymore."

Huang Chen is silent and independent. She is a girl who speaks her mind. She is serious, sincere and rigorous, which are also her good qualities.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disappeared for so long."

"It's okay, the commander's back." Duli said seriously, "Look, isn't it better to just say it out loud?"

After saying that, she smiled at Huang Chen.

Her short black hair was draped over her shoulders, with a long strand of hair fluttering behind her. The pink hairpin made her look cute and well-behaved. Even when she smiled, she looked quite serious.

Huang Chen couldn't help laughing, "Actually, you don't have to be so serious."

"Really?" Duli was confused.

"Of course there is, but it's not important. It's better to say this." Huang Chen also smiled.

"Is this better?" Duli frowned and looked at Huang Chen. "Didn't I tell you, Commander? I'm not good at guessing what others mean. So, what exactly do you mean, Commander?"

"That's what I mean." Huang Chen stopped and turned to look at the girl.

The latter did not expect this unexpected turn and almost bumped into Huang Chen, then looked at him strangely.

Princeton, who was standing by, had no idea that the two men had stopped. He continued walking along the road holding his magazine, and unknowingly passed the two men and walked ahead.

"I just happen to like the serious look of you." Huang Chen looked into the girl's eyes and said solemnly.

"Huh?" The girl shuddered all over and almost jumped up. Even someone as serious as her couldn't control her emotions for a moment after hearing Huang Chen's words.

A hint of panic flashed in the red eyes.

But she was only in a state of panic for a short moment before she regained her composure and looked at Huang Chen calmly. However, her occasional glances elsewhere revealed that she was not at peace.

"Yeah. I get it, I get it."

"What? Didn't you want me to say it?" Huang Chen's lips curled up into a smile.

"Ah, that's right." Duli nodded, looking at a street lamp not far ahead, and said seriously, "Now I know that the commander likes me. I will remember it."

Huang Chen smiled and looked at the girl with a serious expression, wanting to say something.

But he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from behind, "That's too much! Commander, Sister Independence, you didn't even tell me when you stopped!"

Huang Chen turned around and saw Princeton standing behind him angrily, his hands on his hips, looking like he wanted to say something.

However, when her eyes swept across Duli's cheek, she was suddenly startled and said a little embarrassedly, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

"You came at the right time!" Huang Chen said.

Independence on the side looked at Huang Chen strangely, and even Princeton could not understand what Huang Chen said.

Huang Chen also realized that he had accidentally said something sarcastic, and quickly laughed it off, "Nothing, nothing."

Independence didn't care, he looked at Princeton and said, "Excuse me, let's go now."

The latter nodded, and the few of them continued walking along the street.

Although there were still three people, although it was still the same street, and although the destination had not changed, the atmosphere was somewhat different when the three people walked on the road.

Princeton probably didn't realize she was completely absorbed in her magazine.

However, Huang Chen had a strange feeling. When he walked with Duli, he would unconsciously feel the distance between himself and the girl, wondering if it was too far or too close.

The two of them walked in silence for a while, and he began to wonder if they were being too silent and whether it would be better to say a few words.

Duli seemed to have the same feeling and was a little absent-minded when he spoke.

The three of them quickly arrived near Dunkirk's dessert shop. They walked around in circles but still didn't go into any store.

Chapter 294 Small talk

It was almost noon, the sun was high in the sky, and Princeton was feeling hungry. He was a little surprised to find himself still on the street.

She turned around in confusion and saw the Commander and Independence walking side by side on the side of the street, neither talking nor communicating with each other. They just walked like that, not knowing where they were going.

"Commander! Sister Independence!"

The girl called out twice, but no one paid any attention to her. She walked up to them anxiously and grabbed their arms. Only then did they stop, but they still looked at her strangely.

"Princeton? What's wrong?" Huang Chen said.

"Yeah?" Independence said.

"What's wrong?" Princeton snorted, pointing at the sun in the sky and said loudly, "What else is wrong? Didn't we agree to go to Donghuang Restaurant? What are we doing now?"

Huang Chen was stunned. He looked around and realized that he had walked to somewhere unknown. Then he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I think I was distracted just now."

Independence beside him nodded, "It seems to be true."

Princeton said helplessly, "Then can we go eat first? I'm so hungry."

"Okay, right away!" Huang Chen said, looking around and frowning, "I seem to..."

"What's wrong?" Princeton's heart tightened, and he looked at Huang Chen eagerly, "Commander, could it be that you don't know the way?"

The latter smiled rather shyly, "Princeton, you really are a worm in my stomach! You know all this stuff."

The girl glared at Huang Chen angrily and let out a long sigh. For a moment, she couldn't say anything.

Huang Chen waved his hand, walked to a nearby store and asked the owner, then walked back with a somewhat gloomy expression, "It seems we've walked a bit far. This place is about one or two kilometers away from Baihua Road."

"So far?" Princeton frowned. "How about we just run over there?"

One or two kilometers would take about half an hour for an ordinary person, but for these three supermen, it was no different from one or two hundred meters.

Duli hesitated. "This is a city after all. Wouldn't it be bad if I ran too fast?"

"That's right." Princeton lowered his head.

Huang Chen thought for a moment, "Let's walk over there now. If we're fast, it'll take about ten to twenty minutes to get to Baihua Road. Then we'll go to the Donghuang Restaurant. I don't know how long it'll take. I've never been there before, so it might take an hour to find it."

"What should I do?" Princeton held his stomach and was indeed very hungry.

"How about we find a place nearby? They're all pretty much the same." Huang Chen looked around and said casually, "Just eat at any place."

"Is that okay?" Duli said, "I remember the Commander really wanted to eat Donghuang's food."

"But isn't it too late now?" Huang Chen said casually, "And it's the same for dinner. Let's find a place to eat first."

Huang Chen said as he walked along the street, trying to find a restaurant with more people. After all, if the restaurant was not crowded, the food would probably not be very good.

After walking along about two streets, I saw several Donghuang restaurants, but I didn't see many customers dining in, so the food probably didn't look very good.

It seems like there are quite a lot of people at this barbecue restaurant.

Huang Chen stood by the street, looking at the two girls behind him, "How about we go to this place?"

"This one?" Princeton looked over. "Could Atago be in there?"

Huang Chen recalled the address Atago had told him before and shook his head, "It's not here. Her place is quite far from here. I don't know how she found it."

Duli was still hesitant. "Commander, how about we go to Donghuang Restaurant? Didn't we just pass by a few?"

"No one was dining in those restaurants just now, so I'm afraid the food isn't very good."

"Why don't we go to other neighborhoods and have a look? What if there are some nearby?" Duli continued.

Although Princeton was so hungry that he couldn't wait, he still didn't say anything. He looked at the two of them eagerly, waiting for the final result of the discussion.

"It's not necessary." Huang Chen said casually, but seeing Duli's serious eyes, he nodded. "How about this, I'll go take a look around? You two wait here?"

Hearing this, Independence immediately shook his head and said, "How can we let the commander go? Princeton and I will go!"

After saying that, without even giving Huang Chen time to react, he hurriedly pulled Princeton, who was standing beside him with a confused look on his face, and ran away.

Huang Chen called out twice from behind, but received no response.

He shook his head helplessly, found a stone block to sit on, and rested for a while.

Standing at the door of the barbecue restaurant, the aroma of barbecue went straight into his nostrils. Huang Chen was already hungry. Since his physique became stronger, he also ate more.

It is indeed a torture to let a hungry glutton stand at the door of a barbecue restaurant, only able to watch but not eat.

Huang Chen was helpless. He lowered his head and counted the ants on the ground, trying not to think about food.

"Huang Chen?"

"Hmm?" Huang Chen raised his head and saw an ordinary young man in front of him. He looked somewhat familiar, but after thinking about it, he had no impression of him.

"It's me. We met on the mountain outside Silke Port." The young man continued.
