Independent thought for a moment, "Does the commander need me to catch up?"

"There's no need, no need to kill them all." Huang Chen stood up and continued, "Go find a Chinese restaurant, have you found one?"

The two shook their heads.

Huang Chen also smiled and said, "I was just chatting with that person and asked him if there are any good restaurants around. This barbecue restaurant is already very good, so let's go here."

"Yes, that's pretty much what I asked." He nodded independently, but still seemed a little unhappy.

Huang Chen smiled and stroked the girl's hair. "Let's eat. I'll give you a surprise then."

Chapter 296 Do you think you can escape?

"Huh?" Duli looked at Huang Chen strangely. Huang Chen didn't explain, but just said, "Hurry up and eat. Princeton is starving."

Then he walked straight to the barbecue restaurant.

Princeton followed closely, thought about it independently, and without asking any more questions, he followed in.

As they walked in, the aroma of barbecue began to hit them. Everyone was already starving, and after being hit by such a simple and pure meat aroma, they could no longer hold back, and the only thing they thought about was eating.

Following the boss's instructions, everyone came to a corner of the room and ordered a few plates of barbecue products recommended by the boss.

Barbecue is not like other things. The boss quickly walked up with the pre-cooked meat, set up the oven, and everything was ready.

With the help of the waiter, everyone filled the grill and all that was left was to wait.

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the deliciousness of barbecue lies in the waiting time. As time goes by, the meat on the grill is gradually burned until it is cooked through, and its fat will be released, becoming crystal clear and emitting a unique aroma.

Its surface will gradually develop a burnt brown texture, as beautiful as the sunset clouds, which will make people imagine the wonderful feeling of putting it into their mouths, making people can't wait to eat it.

But you can’t eat it now because the meat is not ready yet and it needs time to mature.

So you can only wait, and during this waiting time, the expectation in your heart will give the barbecue on the grill a taste that far exceeds its original taste. It is a fusion of fantasy and reality, and a manifestation of the expectation in your heart.

Independence and Princeton also knew the secret of this delicious dish. They just sat quietly at the table, staring at the food on the table without saying anything or discussing any other ideas.

"I'm going out for a while." Huang Chen suddenly stood up and said.

Independence and Princeton waved, staring at the barbecue on the grill without blinking.

It wasn't until a few minutes after Huang Chen left that Duli finally realized what was happening, "Why did the commander go out?"

She hurriedly got up to check, but Huang Chen was nowhere to be found.

"Princeton, what did the Commander say he was going out for?" Duli shook the girl who was still staring at the barbecue. The girl raised her head and said in a daze, "Huh? When did the Commander go out?"

The girl was also startled, and subconsciously thought that the commander had suddenly disappeared again. She became panicked and looked at Duli at a loss.

The latter shook his head helplessly, "Nothing, the commander just went out. Maybe you didn't hear what I said just now."

"Is that so?" Princeton relaxed again after hearing that. He stretched out his arms in a chair, staring at the barbecue on the grill without blinking. He still tried his best to turn Lian towards Independence and said, "Independence Street, the barbecue smells so good!"

Duli sighed, without saying anything, stood up and walked outside the barbecue. He looked around and found Huang Chen walking towards him from the side of the street with his hands in his pockets.

She remained silent, neither speaking nor moving, just watching Huang Chen slowly walk towards her.

"Why did you come out?" Huang Chen asked in surprise.

"Commander..." Independence seemed to want to say something, but finally shook his head, "Commander, the meat is almost done."

"Okay!" Huang Chen nodded and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

When they walked to the dining table, they saw Princeton staring at the barbecue without blinking, muttering something to himself.

Huang Chen leaned forward curiously to listen, only to find that the girl was mumbling, "The meat is already healed, but the commander hasn't come back yet. The meat is already healed, but the commander hasn't come back yet..."

He shook his head, feeling somewhat amused and crying, and patted Princeton's shoulder. "Eat!"

The latter was startled and almost jumped up from his chair, but soon realized that it was the commander who said this. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the meat.

Huang Chen was not to be outdone. He quickly sat aside, picked up his weapon and started fighting.

Standing alone and watching the two people's actions, a strange and subtle feeling came over me.

Especially when the Commander and Princeton had their mouths full but their eyes were still staring at the food in the baking tray, she even had an illusion that if the Commander only had her and Princeton as his ship girls, this would probably be the scene every day, right?

A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, and for a moment she even forgot about the hunger in her stomach.

"Sister Duli, why are you still standing there? Come on and eat."

"Yeah, Independence, eat quickly. We're going to run out of it," the commander said. He then picked up a piece of unfamiliar meat and said with regret, "We're out of beef tongue."

Duli was stunned for a moment, but the next moment his smile became even wider. He picked up the chopsticks, put aside his reserve, and joined the battle.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour. All three of them were powerful, especially Huang Chen, who had already evolved from a glutton to the ultimate glutton. He ate almost half of the meat by himself.

After the three of them had their fill of food and drink, they paid the bill and walked along the street towards the Kancolle headquarters.

Princeton was still looking at her treasured book, the Saratoga magazine. Huang Chen walked beside her, shaking his head secretly, but couldn't help but admire it.

Although she was holding a magazine in her hand and her eyes were constantly on it, the girl was always able to mysteriously avoid any obstacles on the way. She looked like a widely distributed species in her previous life, the "phone-down tribe."

The magazine is not thick and contains mostly photos. Even if I read it over and over again in Princeton, I will eventually finish it.

She let out a sigh, put the magazine away carefully, and placed it in her bag with a satisfied expression on her face.

Huang Chen asked curiously, "Actually, I'm a little confused. Why do you admire Saratoga so much? There are a lot of powerful ship girls in the port area, right?"

"Hmm?" Princeton turned his head in confusion. "Why? Senior Saratoga is so formidable, proficient in combat and adept at improvisation. How could I not admire him?"

As she spoke, she raised a slender finger and waved it in front of Huang Chen. "Besides, there aren't many aircraft carriers in the port area that are more powerful than Senior Saratoga, right? I'm afraid only Senior Enterprise is a little more powerful."

Huang Chen didn't know what to say after hearing this. Perhaps he was just a senior corporate executive?

It seems you're really a White Eagle shipgirl, and you've overlooked the Sakura Empire girl. But that's just the White Eagle shipgirls. Have you overlooked Essex? Jiaozi is much stronger than Sarah's deck.

But he didn't say it out loud, knowing in his heart that it was probably a kind of beautification.

However, Princeton seemed to have opened his mouth and began to talk non-stop, "Senior Sarah is really amazing, not only good at fighting..."

After she talked on and on for a long time, Huang Chen felt that his ears were probably callused, but he didn't want to discourage the girl, so he just listened silently.

After speaking for more than ten minutes, Princeton finally realized that he had said too much. He smiled embarrassedly at Huang Chen, and the latter also got the opportunity to move freely.

Duli watched from the side and smiled. "She's like that. Once she gets to Saratoga, she'll talk on and on for a long time. Commander, this time is considered short."

"I know." Huang Chen said with a wry smile. He knew in his heart when he saw the girl's unsatisfied look just now. If he had shown a little interest in her topic just now, Princeton might not be so easy to finish in just ten minutes.

"I just didn't expect that she would like Saratoga so much." Huang Chen shook his head and turned to look at Princeton. He saw that the girl had taken out a magazine and was reading it with a satisfied smile on her face.

"I thought there would be some kind of reason or something, but it just sounds completely unreasonable."

Independence smiled lightly, "Isn't that so?"

"Ok?"

"Liking someone is inherently irrational. Just like I like the Commander. He's a terrible guy who likes to do ridiculous things, but I still like him."

Huang Chen was immediately dissatisfied, "What's wrong with me?"

But he regretted it the moment he said it. What was wrong with that? Didn't he have enough dark history in the port area? In the memories of the ship girls in the port area, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a big devil.

Duli just smiled and did not criticize Huang Chen for his past, which made him feel relieved.

The two continued walking along the street. The atmosphere was quiet for a while. Huang Chen suddenly said, "You're right. It's irrational to like this thing."

"Hmm?" Duli tilted her head to look at Huang Chen, with strands of hair hanging down by her ears, making her look playful and cute.

Huang Chen swallowed his saliva and almost forgot what he wanted to say. He originally just wanted to sigh, but now he only felt an emotion growing vigorously in his chest.

"You're right, just like how you like you now, it makes no sense."

Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Duli's face flushed slightly, but she remained relatively calm. However, she saw the commander reach into his pocket and pull out a small box.

Could it be... that?

I feel that my thinking is a little confused.

……

"The commander hasn't arrived yet." Algeria sat in the corner of the restaurant, looking straight at the door and said.

Dunkirk sneered at the side, "I thought you didn't care."

"I didn't know what you were doing at the time." Algeria looked a little embarrassed. "If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have said that."

Dunkirk sighed upon hearing this, "Sometimes opportunities are fleeting like this. I'm afraid the commander won't come here."

"But you clearly saw that the commander became very excited when he heard about Donghuang Restaurant." Algeria seemed unwilling to give up.

"It's already past one o'clock, it's definitely impossible." Dunkirk shook his head, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Algeria thought about it, then sighed and followed.

The two of them walked to the door and a few steps along the street when they saw a man and a woman walking towards them.

The boy is ordinary and not worth mentioning, but the girl has long red hair and a slim figure, and you can tell at first glance that she is a ship girl.

Dunkirk and Algeria nodded slightly as they passed by, which was also a greeting to their own kind.

But I didn't expect to hear an unexpected sound when I passed by.

"Huang Chen...just now..."

"Hmm?" Dunkirk looked at Algeria in confusion, and the latter nodded at her, indicating that he heard it too.

Dunkirk immediately turned around and called out to the man and woman who had just passed by, "Commander, please wait a moment."

Chen Hong stopped in confusion, looking at the ship girl who greeted him and felt a little at a loss.

Of course he recognized it as a ship girl at the first moment. As a commander, he naturally needed such intuition. Otherwise, how could he salvage the ship?

However, as a seal king who escaped unscathed, he had no intention of salvaging the ship, so he did not choose to go up and chat with her. Unexpectedly, he was chatted up by the ship girl instead.

Could it be that my luck is not only in the construction, but also in the salvage boat?

Chen Hong's heart couldn't help but become active. Even the seal kings were divided into categories. Those who built ships were one type, and those who salvaged ships were another type.

He used to think that he was just a construction seal king, but now it seems that he has the potential to develop in another direction.

Even with his many years of experience as a European emperor, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Beautiful lady, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Hong said subconsciously.

"What's the commander's name?" Dunkirk chuckled twice, polite and graceful, which made people's eyes light up. Chen Hong was the same. These two girls looked so slim, they were probably battleships. If my port could add two more ship girls, the next time I see Huang Chen, I will definitely be able to show him off.

"Chen Hong."

"Commander Chen Hong?"

"Yes." The smile on Chen Hong's face became even wider.

"That's right." Dunkirk said, "I seemed to hear Commander Chen Hong mention Huang Chen just now?"

Suddenly, Chen Hong's face changed, and as the Seal King, his alarm bells began to ring wildly, and a bad premonition spread in his heart.

He subconsciously wanted to get away from here, away from the two guys in front of him, and let his ship girl take him away from this place.

However, he was just an ordinary person after all. By the time he realized this problem, Dunkirk's words had already been spoken.

"Commander Chen Hong may not know that Huang Chen is our commander. I seem to have lost him today. I just heard your conversation and it seems that you have seen our commander before?"

Chen Hong remained silent, staring blankly at the ground, a single thought in his mind: Am I sunburned? And this kind of sunburn?

There were two girls when we first met, there were two girls at the door of the barbecue restaurant just now, and there are two girls now. How many ship girls does Huang Chen have?

How old is he? He's not even officially a commander!

The red-haired ship girl next to her noticed that something was wrong with her commander and reached out to poke him in the waist. The latter reacted quickly, but his face was still a little pale. However, he still told her about meeting Huang Chen in the barbecue restaurant before.

Dunkirk and Algeria smiled and thanked him, but Chen Hong responded stiffly.

Then he left impatiently. After walking a long way, he could still hear the two girls giggling. "That Chen Hong is a very strange person. From now on, the commander should stay away from him, otherwise he will become a bad person."

Chapter 297 Magazine Clues

In June, the climate in Silke is not too hot, but the sun at one o'clock in the afternoon is still scorching. There are not many pedestrians on the road, and most of them walk under the shade of trees on the roadside, where they can feel a comfortable coolness.

Huang Chen stood by the roadside, braving the glaring sunlight. He reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a seemingly simple small box. He looked at the girl in front of him and said softly, "You're right. Sometimes, liking someone is really an unreasonable thing."

She remained silent, brushing the hair by her ear, but her heartbeat suddenly quickened. Could the little box contain what she was thinking of?

She stared straight at the small box in Huang Chen's hand, but her fair palms couldn't help but clench into fists, and even fine veins appeared on the back of her palms.
