Huang Chen turned his head and saw the girl looking a little confused. Her lake blue eyes reflected the yellow candlelight and her silver hair was shining. Perhaps because she had just come out of the shower, her face seemed slightly red.
"Your hair is messy again." Huang Chen looked for a long time and suddenly said.
"Is it messy?" Jiang Feng straightened his hair, then took out a small comb from his arms and combed it again.
Huang Chen stood up, walked behind the girl, and held her hand, "Let me do it..."
Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, and without saying anything else about going to find Guanghui quickly, he let go of his hand.
Huang Chen took the small comb and gently combed her hair with the same girlish manner. Because she had just taken a shower, her silver hair was still a little wet, but it was almost dry, causing some hair strands to stick together in clumps.
But with just a gentle comb, the hair spreads out like elastic strands, and becomes very smooth, even smoother than eating Dove.
But even with such smooth hair, Huang Chen still combed it very slowly, wishing he could comb each strand of hair one by one.
Gently picking up the hair, Huang Chen felt a piece of silk brushing against his hand, pressing between his fingers and on his palm. With his other hand, he held a small comb and gently combed the roots of the hair, then gently put it down and picked up another strand of hair.
Through the gaps between the hair, one can see the girl's slender white neck. The white yukata is not tight on her. From Huang Chen's perspective, he can also see the smooth skin hidden under the collar, going all the way down along the spine until it disappears into the darkness.
The girl didn't speak or move, and didn't seem to notice that the commander was taking an unexpectedly long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Huang Chen slowly let down the girl's hair and returned the small comb to her.
"Is it time for bed?"
Huang Chen asked softly, then took the girl's hand.
Jiang Feng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
Huang Chen immediately said, "It's nice to sit quietly with Jiang Feng for a while, but I still want to have a closer relationship with Jiang Feng..."
Hearing this, the girl lowered her eyelids, but stood up.
Huang Chen squeezed the little hand in his palm, looked towards a corner of the darkness, and then slowly walked towards the room with the girl.
Chapter 421 Active and Passive
When standing with Jiang Feng, Huang Chen vaguely felt that someone was staring at him from a distance.
He had good hearing and good eyesight, and could see his surroundings clearly even in dim light. However, when he raised his head, he still couldn't see who was standing there.
But even without seeing it clearly, he had a guess that it might be glory.
It was like a subconscious intuition. This thought made no sense at all, but he just felt that the person standing there just now was Guanghui.
If Huang Chen's feeling was correct, Guanghui should have been standing there before Huang Chen came out of the shower.
He held Jiang Feng's hand and walked slowly towards his room. The girl seemed a little nervous, but still held his hand tightly.
Although he had some guesses, Huang Chen still held the girl's hand. No matter what happened tomorrow, at least at this moment, he wanted to be with Jiang Feng.
……
Guanghui returned to his room, tidied his clothes, and lay down on the bed, ready to go to sleep.
"咚咚-"
Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door.
Who is it... Guanghui was a little confused, but still walked to the door and opened it gently, and then found a girl with long chestnut hair wearing a purple kimono.
"Tiancheng?" Guanghui opened his mouth, feeling a little regretful.
"The master took Jiang Feng back to the room." Tiancheng said.
"I know, I saw it."
Tiancheng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It seems that this was initiated by the Lord."
Guanghui pursed his lips and said nothing, but thought of what Tiancheng said before - the commander will not take the initiative, but if you take the initiative, the commander will not refuse.
"He is the commander after all..." After hesitating for a moment, Guanghui said softly.
Tiancheng, however, looked at the place not far away, his purple eyes dim as he spoke softly, "The schedule was written a long time ago. The Lord never raised any objections, so I assumed He hadn't changed. But when I think about it carefully, He has changed a lot..."
"Really?" Guanghui tilted her head. She felt that the commander had not changed at all. Wasn't he very proactive in the past? He would directly appoint the ship girls he liked as his secretary. Rubbing their heads was normal, and he even touched them quite often.
Tiancheng sighed, "A lot has changed. When he was in Area K, he could even give Baltimore a ring in the afternoon and sleep with Eugen at night."
Guanghui nodded, without any real feeling.
The commander used to give out rings frequently, and it was not strange to give out several rings a day. The only difference was that the commander would not sleep with the ship girl at night.
In fact, she had never seen the commander sleep. Usually, the commander would only come to the port area during the day and no one knew where he went at night.
Sometimes I was there at night, but I was only directing operations. I had never seen the commander rest, let alone sleep.
So when she heard Tiancheng talking about the schedule this morning, she was a little slow to react at first.
Wasn't the Commander already back? All we had to do was rebuild the port. What about schedules, sleeping with the Commander? I hadn't even considered that at first.
But after understanding Amagi's meaning, Glory also became excited. After all, it is a wedding ship, and theoretically should be the ship girl closest to the commander.
However, when it was really her turn, she hesitated a little. She saw the commander lying on a lounge chair in the square, but she was too embarrassed to go up to him.
Even though he saw the commander walking alone in the shrine, he still hid aside.
As long as he thought about his own purpose, Guanghui felt his cheeks burning, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to move forward. So, it seems that it would be better for the Commander to take the initiative?
"I hope this is a good thing." Tiancheng shook his head and nodded slightly to Guanghui. "That's it. Go to bed early."
"go to bed early."
……
The next morning, Huang Chen woke up very early. It was still light outside, and the sun might not even rise yet.
However, there was no one around him.
Huang Chen looked around in confusion and found that Jiang Feng had gotten up earlier than him. He was sitting by the bed, looking at him silently, and had been looking at him for who knows how long.
"You look a little scary like this!" Huang Chen grinned.
"Good morning." Jiang Feng said softly, still sitting there quietly.
Huang Chen felt a little strange, sat up, looked at the girl and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just woke up suddenly and didn't know what to do." Jiang Feng said lightly.
"How about going out for a walk?" Huang Chen also stood up and put on his clothes without avoiding the girl. After all, something extremely intimate had happened, so it didn't matter if he put on his clothes in front of her.
"Watching the sunrise?" Jiang Feng suddenly chuckled, then shook his head, "No, I'll have to go call Master Nagato in a little while."
"Why so early?" Huang Chen was a little surprised, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Yesterday, did you go to call Nagato yesterday?"
"Yesterday?" Jiang Feng's lips curled up slightly. "Didn't Lord Nagato and the Commander go to watch the sunrise yesterday?"
Huang Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What is sunrise? You know it, right? It's just that Nagato is embarrassed..."
"Lord Nagato is sometimes like this." Jiang Feng smiled lightly, and suddenly became serious, "Actually, Lord Nagato is very lonely. Commander, when you are free, you can spend more time with Lord Nagato..."
Huang Chen was stunned, feeling that the atmosphere had changed. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What about you?"
"It's okay." Jiang Feng shook his head. "I've always been with Lord Nagato. When the commander comes looking for Lord Nagato, he'll find me too."
Huang Chen nodded, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Jiang Feng stood up and said, "Commander, it's almost time. I'll prepare clothes for Nagato-sama today."
Huang Chen nodded, watched the girl walk over the door curtain, but suddenly turned back.
"Commander, you should go look for Guanghui today. I feel like yesterday... wasn't quite right."
Huang Chen was somewhat helpless, "Don't talk about this kind of thing at this time! Jiang Feng, at least you should check the atmosphere."
"What's that atmosphere?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised. He turned his head and left.
Huang Chen lay in bed for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy. He went to bed early at night, so he naturally woke up early in the morning.
He was originally in a good mood, but when Jiang Feng reminded him just now, he started thinking about Guanghui again.
According to Jiang Feng, last night should have been glorious, but Huang Chen was a little impulsive and had to go and see what the girl thought later.
He was worried that such behavior would give Guanghui a bad impression.
Time flies and breakfast is ready soon.
During the meal, Guanghui did not notice anything unusual, and she remained dignified and elegant.
However, after breakfast, Huang Chen just helped to carry the bowl, but when he turned around, he found that Guanghui was gone.
Chapter 422: Glory in the Heart and Beating Fast
Guanghui is hiding from me? Huang Chen wondered.
He looked around and found Newcastle standing nearby, his finger gently pointing in a direction not far away.
"I see."
Huang Chen nodded and went in the direction the girl indicated.
The shrine is really big and there are many abandoned rooms. If Nagato and the others didn't live here, Huang Chen would believe that this is a haunted house.
In short, following Newcastle's guidance, Huang Chen came to a more remote place, and indeed found Guanghui standing not far away.
"There is actually a tree here." Huang Chen walked over in amazement.
The place we are in now is probably an atrium, with wooden steps and corridors on both sides, a gravel path in the middle, overgrown with weeds, and a tree about two or three people tall.
The tree wasn't very tall, but it was lush and leafy. Guanghui was standing in the shade. Seeing Huang Chen following him, he seemed a little surprised. "Commander, why are you here?"
"Why can't you come over? Is Guanghui deliberately avoiding me?" Huang Chen walked to the girl and stood beside her.
Today, Guanghui was wearing a white dress covered with a layer of white sand. The edges were trimmed with black lace, which was a bit thin. Her white and slender thighs were faintly visible through the skirt. Her long silver hair was tied into two bunches and casually draped around her ears, and she wore a white sun hat with black lace trim.
The look reminded Huang Chen of the girl’s portrait in the game. They had somewhat similar outfits, but the light in front of him was even more alluring.
"How is that possible?" Guanghui shook his head and said softly, "I just wanted to take a walk after dinner, and then I walked here."
"Is that so..." Huang Chen nodded, "What about last night? You were hiding from me too, weren't you?"
Guanghui pursed his lips, somewhat helplessly, "Commander..."
"Okay, okay, then Guanghui, would you like to accompany me to stroll around the shrine? It just so happens that I have also eaten and want to walk around." Huang Chen stretched out his hand to the girl.
Guanghui hesitated for a moment, then gently held Huang Chen's hand.
The two walked along the outer corridor. The area ahead was even more dilapidated, but at least there was no collapsed house. Instead, some wild weeds had grown into the house.
The two of them didn't speak, as if they were just taking a walk. After a while, they reached the end of the shrine. The low wall collapsed into the mud, and beyond the wall was a lush forest.
Thick dead leaves fell on the ground, indicating that even Nagato and the others seldom came to this place. There was a well not far away. Huang Chen leaned over to take a look. It was full of stones and miscellaneous wood, as if someone had gambled on it.
"Maybe this was the kitchen before." Huang Chen looked at the abandoned rooms on both sides and finally made a judgment.
Guanghui was also a little surprised, "It seems that this place is more than just a shrine."
Indeed, Huang Chen nodded. At least compared with the shrine in Luonan City, this abandoned shrine seemed too big, even abnormally large.
Such a building is located in the mountains, and there is no road directly connecting it to the outside world. There is only a rugged mountain road that is not accessible to cars. It is conceivable how much manpower and material resources were needed to build it.
However, the huge shrine was abandoned and was occupied by Nagato and others.
According to them, the people of Luonan now seem to be unaware of the shrine in the mountain. Only the shrine in Luonan City knows that there are a dozen ship girls living in the mountain, and they will ask people to come and help when they are too busy with the sacrifices.
"I asked Nagato, and she said that when she found this place, it had been abandoned for who knows how long." Huang Chen said, finding a clean stone, sweeping off the dust and sitting down.
Then he looked up at Guanghui and said, "If, I mean if, we go to find Elizabeth and don't build the port there, but instead take the Windward to C1 together, that castle will become like this shrine..."
Guanghui looked at the mottled pillars beside him, thinking, "Perhaps this was once a commander's port area, far away from the ocean and the city, hidden in the mountains and forests, until..."
Guanghui said this with a low tone.
Huang Chen was also a little confused. Apart from the torii gate and worship hall in front, there seemed to be rows of houses behind the shrine.
It is possible that this was once a place where a commander lived in seclusion.
After the commander left, the ship girls in the port area disappeared one by one, and the shrine naturally became deserted.
Thinking of this, Huang Chen suddenly felt a chill in his heart and held the girl's hand. Guanghui seemed to sense it as well and held Huang Chen's hand tightly.
