The girl with long light green hair had sparkling eyes, and her triangular cat ears twitched. "It's strange that the Commander knew we were back. Is there some gossip?"
"Of course it's because I feel your longing for the commander." Huang Chen said seriously.
Gridley threw himself into the commander's arms. Aoba noticed Lexington standing behind him, and said with surprise and a hint of guilt, "We only returned yesterday afternoon, and that's when we saw the note you left."
"It's okay. I'm glad you're back." Lexington curved his eyes and spoke gently, then retreated back to sit on the bench.
In fact, it’s pretty good to just look at the commander like this... She completely relaxed in her heart and looked gently at Huang Chen and the two sisters who had just returned.
But I still feel a little regretful.
I was very surprised when I heard the news about the commander. I accidentally found the Windward while searching, and then I was even more surprised to meet the commander again.
Then he saw Yorktown's ring, Bumblebee's ring, and many other girls in the port area who, like him, had previously received little attention from the commander, but now had become wedding ships.
I clearly heard from Enterprise that the Commander wouldn't be back until March, and it's only June now, yet they've already distributed so many rings.
All in all, I can't help but feel some anticipation.
Perhaps the Commander is disappointed with my behavior just now? Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped talking to me.
Lexington shrank in his chair, feeling a little depressed.
"Lexington, let's go."
Ok?
Lexington looked up in confusion and found that Huang Chen had walked in front of him at some point and was extending a hand towards him.
The girl was a little confused, but she slowly put her hand on it.
"Don't you want to go for a walk in the city? Let's go." Huang Chen grabbed the girl's soft hand, pulled her up, and then strode along the path.
Soon they crossed the dock, walked through the path, exited the deserted KanColle branch, and strolled along the quiet and empty seaside.
The sea breeze brings a hint of coolness and blows the sea surface and the surrounding weeds
Lexington suddenly felt a chill, looking at the commander in front of him, his mind full of thoughts.
Could this be a date?
Chapter 353: Still can’t get a number in the port area
The two walked along the path by the river.
Wind City is very small. Even though the KanColle branch is located on the outskirts of the city, it is not far from the city center. The two of them walked for only ten minutes before the surrounding buildings became densely packed.
The weather today is also very good. There is no sun. Although the weather is still hot and humid, the gentle sea breeze is very comfortable.
In addition to Huang Chen and Lexington, there were also some people walking, playing and swimming on the beach, making it quite lively.
The two walked slowly, Huang Chen walked in front and Lexington followed closely behind.
"commander?"
As they walked, Lexington suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Huang Chen stopped, turned around and said nothing.
"Gridley and the others..."
"They went to rest. They sailed all night last night. They were very tired. They were a little excited when they saw me, but after we talked for a few words, fatigue showed on their faces." Huang Chen explained.
Lexington nodded, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Commander, do you think my behavior just now was excessive?"
"What happened just now?" Huang Chen was puzzled.
"Just now, I told Commander Gridley that they might be lost..." Lexington lowered his head, his voice becoming increasingly quiet. His face no longer had the confident look of a typical idol.
"This kind of thing is really despicable..." She whispered, and there seemed to be some self-blame in her tone.
Huang Chen was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked at the girl and shook his head. "You, you just think too much. With your current level, you can't even rank in the harbor."
"Can't get a number?"
Huang Chen lowered his head and began to recall, "I remember the first day I met Jiaozi, we slept together that night."
A strange look flashed in Lexington's beautiful eyes.
First day, Commander is so proactive now!?
"Later, we met up again in J District with Dunkirk, and she kept pestering me to go out with her every day."
"day by day?"
"Today, go with me to the Kancolle headquarters. Tomorrow, go visit her old friends with me. The day after tomorrow, go find her suppliers. Anyway, she has been finding reasons to get me to be with her every day for almost a week."
Huang Chen said, spreading his hands, "I didn't understand it at that time, but now that I think about it, isn't her goal obvious?"
Lexington grinned, thinking of the time when he met Dunkirk before. The girl from the Iris Church was wearing a ring on her hand, but she was still as righteous and elegant as before.
She shared the desserts she made with the children and was very happy when chatting with them.
I didn't expect that I would do something like this when I reunited with the Commander.
"Then there were Baltimore and the others..." Huang Chen chattered on and on with a smile on his face, almost repeating the names of all the girls he had met again.
Lexington listened silently, his eyes becoming more and more bright, and a smile on his face.
After a while, the girl had returned to her usual confident self.
"Logically, I should invite the commander to my concert." Lexington took Huang Chen's arm and said with a smile.
"You clearly had an opportunity today, but you just didn't want to." Huang Chen said helplessly.
"Today is the Commander's home game."
The two stopped talking and continued walking hand in hand along the beach. The distance from the Kancolle branch to the suburban park was about twenty kilometers.
The two walked along the seashore, sometimes to places where no one had walked, stepping on weeds and bushes.
Sometimes I wade through the shallow trench, holding my shoes and socks in my hands, and stepping barefoot in the shallow sea water.
Sometimes they would come across unfamiliar trees, so they would stop, walk around the unfamiliar plants, and make their own guesses.
Sometimes they would find some small creatures on the beach, such as shellfish and crabs. They also picked up a small octopus, which Huang Chen threw back into the sea amid Lexington's laughter.
Sometimes the two of them would play and chase each other, eventually rolling over on the grass, with bits of grass they didn't recognize breaking into pieces and sticking to their clothes and pants.
Sometimes a breeze from the sea would blow, lifting the girl's dress, making it flutter like a flag standing on the seashore.
The two of them walked the twenty kilometers for more than three hours, which was very slow considering their physical conditions.
The two of them walked to the vicinity of the park. Huang Chen looked at the forks in the road around him, and suddenly an idea came to him, so he walked along a small path.
Lexington was a little surprised and followed silently.
Surrounded by abandoned houses, somewhat similar to the KanColle headquarters, the two soon walked into a small alley with dilapidated brick walls on both sides with incomplete paintings on them.
The two continued walking, turned left under a big banyan tree, and a low bungalow came into view.
The house was a bit dilapidated, with the door closed tightly and cobwebs on it.
Huang Chen walked forward and looked inside through the glass. The ground was still the same as when he left, except that it was covered with a thick layer of dust.
"I've lived here for a month." Huang Chen pointed at the room and said, "It seems that no one rented this place anymore after I left."
Lexington also stood by the window and looked inside.
The room was small, sparsely furnished, and very plain. She looked at the tiles on the roof and even suspected that the sparsely cracked roof would leak when it rained.
Huang Chen stood by the window with a nostalgic expression. This was the first place he settled after coming to this world, and it was also a place that could be called home.
He paused, then waved his hand and turned around, "Let's go."
Lexington walked behind him, a thoughtful look on the girl's face. Suddenly, she took Huang Chen's hand and said, "Commander, do you want to see my personal LIVE?"
"What?" Huang Chen turned around in confusion.
"This time, I won't let the Commander suddenly disappear." Lexington looked at Huang Chen's face solemnly and smiled. "Commander, do you want to try a personal LIVE with only one seat?"
Huang Chen was still confused. This time he heard it clearly, but he didn't understand it.
The next moment, Lexington's face suddenly appeared in front of Huang Chen. It was so close that he could even see the fine hairs on his face and the slightly red blood flowing under his skin.
Huang Chen subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Lexington held his head, and then something soft came over him.
……
In a suburban park, the stage had been completely dismantled, but not yet moved.
It was almost time for dinner, still BBQ, but it was all leftovers from lunch, and we added some more food.
Some girls were still playing around, while others had already gone back in the pickup trucks that were packed with people.
The company hadn't left yet. She was standing by the oven, looking at a perfectly roasted chicken wing.
"The commander is here." Bumblebee suddenly said from the side.
Enterprise raised her head and picked up the perfectly grilled chicken wings. After she took them away, Bumblebee's hand finally arrived.
Bumblebee was stunned for a moment, but saw Enterprise already walking to the side.
Lexington and Huang Chen walked towards this side one after another. Bumblebee was stunned again. I was just talking casually.
Lexington had a smile on his face, and Enterprise was secretly surprised, "Got it?"
"Got it." Lexington said with a smile.
Huang Chen, who was behind, looked over here with a helpless expression on his face.
Chapter 354 Something’s wrong with you
After finishing the barbecue, everyone continued to clean up. Although there was a lot of debris, everyone worked together and did not feel tired.
As the last pickup truck left, the bus that had been booked long ago also shakily drove into the park.
The timing was pretty good, and the rest of the people also left on the bus, but many girls left early, resulting in the bus not being full.
After returning to the Windward, everyone packed up their things, returned the rented pickup truck, said goodbye to Minister Baltimore, and then continued sailing.
The captain of the ship's group showed great reluctance to part with Lexington and the others. In the end, she asked Lexington for a lot of autographed photos and got a promise to mail her an album. Only then did she say goodbye with satisfaction.
The Windward set sail and docked in Whitewater City to replenish supplies. It was originally planned to replenish supplies in Wind City, but the dock of the KanColle branch was too small, making it inconvenient to do anything.
Lexington also gave up the rented house. Gridley and the others, on the other hand, had already printed half of the latest magazine, but it hadn't yet been completed.
In the end, they had no choice but to take away the printed parts and sell them to some merchants who had been scheduled in advance. The remaining unprinted parts were sold to the printing department in the form of futures, and they resold them to the remaining merchants.
Although it saved the trouble of terminating the contract with the merchant, according to Gridley, this printing did not make any money at all, and at best it could only be called breaking even.
Of course, Huang Chen's unique recruitment advertisement was also released. Although Gridley and Qingye had returned, there was no guarantee that there were other ship girls in those large cities.
The advertisement was modified a little by Qingye. I have to say that the ship girls who specialize in words are really amazing. The words are more subtle than before, but as long as it is Huang Chen’s ship girl, she can definitely be recognized.
The Yingfeng docked in Baishui City for half a day, and then continued on its journey. A photo was taken before leaving. It was a family photo of the ship girl and Huang Chen on the Yingfeng.
This photo would have made more sense to be taken in a park in the Windy City, but Gridley was still asleep yesterday.
However, not all the girls from the port area have returned yet. When they all come back, we can take a big family photo in the park.
The Windward rarely stops at cities in the later areas.
Even if they wanted to post an advertisement, they would just reduce their speed from a distance, and then a girl would take the advertisement to the local Kanmusu Affairs Office at the Kanmusu headquarters and post the advertisement directly.
At first, Huang Chen thought this method might be too strenuous for a messenger shipgirl. Later, he discovered that this job was basically rushed.
After sailing on a ship for a long time, being able to leave and go somewhere else is a kind of relaxation, no matter what you do.
Just like when people are in school, everything other than attending classes in the classroom is interesting.
Along the way, a points exchange system was established in the port area. The girls all knew about it and realized the importance of points.
It also made it quick to set up the lecture hall, teachers were easily recruited, and the lecture hall got on the right track.
But the children are very unhappy. They used to have nothing to do every day, but now they have to attend classes every day and do homework. If they are disobedient, they may even be spanked.
Then one morning they went on a collective strike, blocked the door of the cab, and publicized the demonstration.
In the end, Huang Chen couldn't stand the power of the little lolis anymore. Their soft voices made him a little overwhelmed. In the end, he cancelled the homework in the lecture hall and added the content of practical classes - which was much more interesting than staying in the classroom.
