"I know, it's okay." Huang Chen comforted softly, but also a little helplessly, "Don't act like I'm angry. It makes me look like a pervert who gets angry when others don't like me."

"Isn't that so?" Shengli laughed.

Huang Chen didn't care and continued to explain, "Love is actually a very delicate matter. Forcing it won't bring happiness. If you don't love each other, the ring is meaningless."

Shengli nodded, his eyes flickering. "Some of these words don't seem like something a commander would say."

"Why not?" Huang Chen raised his head. "Anyway, don't worry. I'll go explain to Guanghui."

As he said this, he was about to get up and walk towards the kitchen, intending to discuss this issue with Guanghui immediately.

Shengli blinked, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the commander's hand, "Wait."

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just want to wait." Shengli held Huang Chen's hand and said softly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't tell my sister. I'm used to her nagging."

Huang Chen nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say yes. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the kitchen. Guanghui came out with a pile of dishes and chopsticks. "Commander, Shengli, can you help set the table?"

Huang Chen and Shengli looked at each other, then suddenly nodded and said in unison, "Okay."

……

It was approaching evening, and Enterprise stood on the deck of the boat, watching Reputation steer the vessel forward.

"Wow, we haven't seen the coastline yet. How long do we have to wait?" Bumblebee, who was controlling the carrier-based aircraft, said with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"Soon, before dark," Hood said. "I've made this voyage many times."

The company was standing aside, quietly planning its next itinerary.

After arriving in Ningyang City, we will stay at the KanColle headquarters for one night, and then go to find New Jersey first.

Chapter 568: Ning Yang's Corner

In the dim night, the boat gradually approached the dock of the Ningyang City Ship Girl Headquarters.

Although it was already late, the port was still as busy as it was during the day, with ships of all sizes docking and setting sail, coming in and out of the route.

There were also people coming and going on the dock. The flow of people seemed endless, appearing along the path and walking towards the ships docked in the port.

Most of them are ship girls, but there are also many commanders in white uniforms. This scene is rarely seen in other ship girl headquarters.

Except for reporting, commanders generally do not go to the KanColle headquarters.

Even if you accept a commissioned mission, you only need to go once a month or several months. You can even completely hand it over to your own ship girl, letting her pick up the mission, carry out the mission, and then submit the mission.

Of course, this situation will only exist in port areas with abundant ship girls. Many port areas and naval bases are even struggling to be responsible for regional security and patrols, and do not have extra power to carry out commissions.

Therefore, a large number of commanders in the Ningyang City Ship Girl Headquarters stand out.

"They're probably students from the Command Academy." Hood leaned out of the cab window. "Today happens to be a holiday."

"Holiday." Enterprise looked at the boat and suddenly smiled. "I wonder if New Jersey will have a holiday too."

"I haven't been here for a long time. Everything has changed." Bumblebee sat on the railing of the deck, watched the boat gradually approaching the shore, and jumped down to tie the rope.

Essex, still leaning against the guardrail, nodded.

It was completely different from before. She looked into the distance and seemed to see several magnificent skyscrapers breaking through the sky and reaching into the clouds.

"This is Ning Yang." Hood laughed and called on Reputation and Counterattack who were resting in the cabin below.

Everyone packed up their things and slowly walked off the ship. Enterprise walked in front. "Let's eat first. After dinner, everyone can rest as much as they want. We will go to the Commander Academy early tomorrow morning."

No one had any objection, as this was the process that had been arranged before it came out.

Although another main purpose is to find a construction team that can build the port area, there is no rush. You can easily find a suitable construction team by just going to the KanColle headquarters.

Therefore, it is placed at the end of the process.

It’s not exactly the end, it’s the end of everyone’s journey around Ningyang City.

After finding New Jersey and selecting the construction team, Hood will lead the construction team back to the port area, while Enterprise will go to meet Bismarck and others.

Everyone left the dock and walked aimlessly along the street. Compared to headquarters in other places, this place was ridiculously large.

It has gone beyond being just a small headquarters and has become almost as big as a city, while completely blurring the boundaries between it and Ningyang City.

Enterprise and his group walked to an unknown place. Seeing that there were more people on both sides of the road who obviously did not look like shipgirls or commanders, they suddenly realized, "We have already walked into the city."

"Strictly speaking, not yet. These places are probably where ship girls and ordinary people live together." Hood explained.

Qiye nodded. This was not her first time in Ningyang, but the scenes she saw were very different from the city she remembered.

The wide streets are bustling with traffic. The tall trees on both sides of the road cannot block the lights from the street lamps and buildings. Even after dark, the shops along the street are still crowded with people.

The place is bustling with people, and the atmosphere is lively and vibrant. The noise is so loud that it can make your ears dizzy, and you unconsciously raise your voices.

This is an experience that is not available in other cities and KanColle headquarters.

The company was a little dazed for a moment. It had only been more than ten years since it had been to Ningyang, and it had become like this?

The first city in the C1 area in her memory was similar to Yongyang City where she had lived for a long time, but she didn't expect that it looked completely different now.

Yongyang City also has many tall buildings and a constant flow of traffic, but it is not as lively as here.

"Hello, and welcome to Mayonnaise's Confused Restaurant."

Suddenly, a flyer was handed to the company. The girl blinked and saw a girl with short blue hair, cat ears, and bright clothes standing in front of her. "It's okay if you just take a look. We have the most authentic Donghuang cuisine in Ningyang."

All Ningyang?

Enterprise subconsciously looked up and saw the "Mayonnaise Confused Restaurant" that the girl mentioned not far away.

It's just a newly opened shop, with quite a few people sitting around, but it's far fewer than other shops.

This made her laugh.

"It's obviously just a newly opened store." Bumblebee came over, looked at the store and smiled.

The girl who was handing out the advertisement seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said, "Although it's only just opened, the food will definitely not disappoint you."

"How do you feel?" Enterprise handed the menu in his hand to Hood, who looked at it and handed it to Bumblebee, who then handed it to Reputation.

"Let's go here." After a brief discussion, everyone made a decision. There was no need to queue in a place with fewer people, and as a newly opened store, having so many customers was not a small number.

The cat-eared girl smiled and led everyone into the store. She immediately called out, "Sister, sister, there are six customers here."

The girl called sister raised her head and smiled, "Please follow me."

Bumblebee followed the crowd and was suddenly stunned. He looked at his sister and then turned back to look at the girl who was handing out the advertisement.

She tugged at Essex's clothes with a puzzled look and asked in a low voice, "Jiaozi, have you noticed that this sister seems to be just an ordinary person?"

"Oh! Really!" Essex opened his mouth in surprise.

"It's not just this sister. The girl who just posted the advertisement is also an ordinary person." Enterprise turned around and she just discovered that the girl was just wearing a cat ear-shaped hair accessory, just like Cheshire.

"An ordinary person actually opened a store in the KanColle headquarters." Bumblebee exclaimed. This was a scene that could never be seen anywhere else.

"That's why this place is also called the City of Shipgirls." Hood slowed down his pace, turned around and smiled, "It's the most suitable place for free shipgirls to live. Every year, many shipgirls come from other places and settle here."

Enterprise smiled, "The Commander will definitely like this place."

"Of course Commander likes it, after all, there are so many ship girls here." Bumblebee complained.

Qiye didn't say anything, but followed the boss's instructions to a table by the window, but his eyes were looking out the window through the glass.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be a city I will visit often in the future, right?

As she thought this, she found that her vision suddenly darkened. A tall girl with long light purple hair was standing outside the window, staring at her with a confused look on her face.

Chapter 569 You don’t know either?

"It's a holiday! What a rare weekend! I haven't had a holiday for three weekends in a row."

"The students are on summer vacation, but the teachers aren't, and many of them are staying on campus. This class built a ton of battleships, and it just so happens that several teachers resigned. I'm practically slogging away, with classes every day."

"Today is my day off. I sailed to Ningyang City overnight last night. This morning, I went to the Yunxiao Amusement Park in the suburbs. This afternoon, I visited three shopping malls in a row. I was just about to go to the barbecue restaurant I'd been thinking about for a long time when I saw you guys."

New Jersey sat on the chair, scooped a large piece of vanilla ice cream with an iron spoon and put it into his mouth, then closed his eyes half out of happiness and half out of stimulation by the cold.

"So cold!"

The girl shuddered.

Beside her, there were many brown paper shopping bags on the floor and on the table, stacked up in a rather random manner.

Probably some clothes or jewelry.

"You've eaten too much in one bite." Enterprise also held a cup of ice cream, but compared to New Jersey, he looked much more elegant.

"Well, that's how you eat ice cream." New Jersey waved his hand nonchalantly and took another big bite. At first he wanted to pretend to be expressionless, but in the end he couldn't hold it in anymore. He grinned, tapped his forehead and gasped.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the air was filled with joy.

After eating ice cream, the ordered dishes were served one by one, and everyone ate and chatted.

"I was planning to go to the academy to find you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to run into you like this. You know about the commander's return, right?" Enterprise said.

New Jersey nodded. "Of course I know. Glory came here specifically to tell us... Wait, Enterprise, you're with the Commander. Has he already arrived on Elizabeth and the others' island? So soon?"

"We're here. It's been three or four days." Qiye said with a smile, and then briefly explained the current situation. In fact, it was mainly a problem of port area construction.

"Three or four days!" New Jersey put down the chopsticks in her hand, with an expression of shock and regret in her eyes. Judging from her little movements, it seemed that she was planning to sail towards the island now.

The girl gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head fiercely, "But I really can't get away from the academy right now..."

It happens to be my busiest time recently. In addition to the reasons I complained about before, it is also because it is already mid-to-late July, and there is less than a month left until the entrance examination of Nanyang Commanders College on August 15th.

All arrangements regarding the examination have also been put on the agenda.

The entrance examination is the most important exam for the Commander Academy. Not to mention strict requirements, at least the examination must be fair and just, eliminating any possibility of favoritism and fraud. At the same time, the test questions also need to be carefully crafted and repeatedly discussed.

Therefore, most of the teaching staff were also transferred to set questions.

That keeps New Jersey even busier.

As for why she didn't set the questions... I can only say that everyone has different preferences.

Moreover, at such a critical moment, as the deputy director of the Battle Series Department, she certainly couldn't just resign and leave. She had to at least wait until this busy period was over.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but lie down on the table in a somewhat discouraged manner, and glanced at Hood who was eating elegantly beside her.

If I had known this earlier, I should have used this as an excuse to ask for leave when Hood invited me to attend the opening ceremony of Elizabeth's castle.

It wasn't this busy before, so it was easier to take time off...

"Don't worry, the port area has been confirmed, so the commander won't disappear." Enterprise said with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject, "And..."

"and?"

"Yesterday, two other guys from Z46 arrived at the port area. They said Bismarck and the others..." Enterprise repeated Bismarck and the others' plans.

New Jersey blinked, somewhat understanding Enterprise's idea. "You mean I should wait for the commander at the Command Academy?"

Bumblebee, who was holding a large chicken drumstick, suddenly widened his eyes, "Is this what Sister Enterprise meant?"

New Jersey also stared at the blonde girl not far away with wide eyes, "Isn't it?"

"is it?"

"Okay, Bumblebee, eat quietly." Enterprise waved his hand helplessly. "That's what I mean. The commander will definitely come to Area C1 in a while, whether it's because of the port area, the commander training, or Benson and the others."

After these words were spoken, not only New Jersey, but even Hood looked at Enterprise with some confusion, "Benson and the others? Benson and the others are also in Zone C1?"

"You didn't know?" Enterprise was surprised. "I always thought Guanghui wasn't going there, so I didn't go to where Benson and the others were."

"I really don't know, and I haven't heard New Jersey mention it..." Hood said awkwardly, but saw New Jersey's expression of even greater surprise, even horror. "Benson and the others are also in Area C1!"

The girl's voice was so loud, and since there weren't many people in this newly opened restaurant, it immediately attracted the attention of all the diners.

The apron-wearing sister boss came over with some trepidation, "Sir, is there something wrong with the dishes?"

New Jersey shook his head awkwardly and explained to the boss that there was indeed no problem with the food. He smiled awkwardly at everyone and said, "I didn't expect Benson and the others to be in Area C1."

"This is normal." Enterprise shook his head, not particularly surprised.

Even neighbors who lived just across the wall might not have seen each other for decades, not to mention that everyone had been separated for so long and New Jersey had no contact with Benson and the others.

It was natural that she didn't know. If Bumblebee and Essex hadn't liked traveling around in the past, she wouldn't have known about Benson and the others.

It's just that now there's one more place on the itinerary.
