"Hmm?" Huang Chen turned his head. The little girl had the light behind her, and the light passed by her, making her face a little blurry in the night, but her golden eyes were still bright.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was laughing.
"Maybe." He shook his head. The lively atmosphere almost spread over him and hit his face, but he became calmer. "But it's more because of everyone's heartfelt laughter."
"Hmm?" Z46 looked curious.
"I've always been afraid of everyone. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that everyone will wrong themselves."
Huang Chen looked into the distance, "Look, before I came back, everyone had their own things to do. Dunkirk and the others opened a dessert shop, Enterprise and the others worked at the KanColle headquarters, Amagi and the others ran a hot spring spa, and Cleveland and the others opened a freight company..."
He rambled on, looking at Z46. "For example, you and Bismarck also run a bookstore in Area C1."
"Everyone has their own things to do, whether they are hobbies or work. At least when you wake up every day, you have a goal."
"But what happens after I come back?" Huang Chen looked at his palm, as if talking to himself. "What happens after everyone follows me, on the Windward, in the harbor? Will they still find the meaning of life? Will they be muddle-headed every day, living boring and similar days one after another?"
Chapter 576 Who will save me?
"Commander?" Z46 frowned slightly, looking at Huang Chen with some concern. "The meaning of life is interpreted differently by everyone, but for everyone in the port area, reuniting with the Commander is probably a big part of it."
"Hmm?" Huang Chen was stunned. He had just felt something in his heart, but he didn't expect the girl to speak in such an artistic way, which made him a little confused.
"The sun rises in the morning and the stars shine brightly at night. The years in between are ordinary and mundane. Even if they repeat day after day, as long as I am with the Commander, it is no longer boring." Z46 said seriously.
"Ah, I know, I know." Huang Chen finally realized that the little girl was comforting himself.
He couldn't help but ruffle Z46's hair, but he didn't show any sign of relief. "This is what I call being wronged."
"commander!"
"Listen to me first!"
Z46 wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Huang Chen.
"I know, you always say that as long as you are with the commander, everything will be fine." He looked at the girl, his tone slowly becoming softer, as if he was thinking, or carrying a kind of recollection.
"But even if the Commander is very important to everyone, don't you have other important things in your heart?" Huang Chen looked at the little girl. "Just like Dunkirk likes desserts. Or like Baltimore likes sports, and you like reading."
"Even though I'm the commander, I can't possibly occupy everyone's heart. Everyone has their own life, and being able to contribute even 34% is the best I can. Even in Taiho, there are many private interests and hobbies."
"Does it mean that because of this part of the commander, the other parts are no longer important?"
"Not to mention, I'm just one person. Even if I try very hard to interact with everyone every day, it's difficult for everyone in the port area to meet me every day. Except for a few special people, everyone else always has to wait for a few days."
"So what should we do during this time? Are we all just like NPCs in a game during this waiting time?"
Huang Chen made a joke, but he wasn't laughing, not even Z46. "Commander, I know what you're thinking, but you've done very well."
"But there's always better." Huang Chen looked at Z46's serious and worried expression, then suddenly smiled and rubbed the girl's head. "Don't worry, I know the problem, and I'm not complaining about it. I just... want to remind myself."
"There's nothing on the Windward. Even though there are some functional rooms, they're still too boring to meet everyone's needs. Although no one has mentioned it, I can't pretend it doesn't exist."
Having said that, his gaze turned to the playground, to the girls who were running and jumping on the playground with smiles from the heart on their faces.
"Perhaps this is why I decided to locate the port area here so quickly. I really can't wait any longer."
Z46 didn't say anything, but followed Huang Chen's gaze, but his thoughts began to wander.
She had never thought about this question before because her hobby was reading. As long as she had a quiet place and endless books to read, she would never feel bored.
And she happened to be inside the bookstore.
But now she remembered a lot of things.
Scharnhorst originally lived with them, but later went to the front line and no one knows where he is now.
Eugen always finds various reasons to go out, just like this time when he went out to help the bookstore find a new address.
Although she never said it, she was actually a little dissatisfied with the commander for choosing this port area, but now this dissatisfaction has disappeared.
She was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say or how to comfort the commander.
In the end, he could only lean towards Huang Chen silently and rest his head on him. "Commander, the port area will become more and more lively."
"Haha." Huang Chen laughed. "You're right. The port area will always become more and more lively. Everyone will always find a place and interests that suit them in the port area!"
He stood up, patted his clothes, and held out his hand to the little girl. "Sorry, I've said too much. Let's go ahead and take a look around. There's a big garden over there. I wonder what it looks like at night."
Z46 silently held Huang Chen's hand, but shook his head, "It's almost time, I want to go back."
"Go back." Huang Chen paused, his tone somewhat inexplicable.
Z46 laughed and winked at Huang Chen playfully, "Commander, do you have any plans for the future? I just happened to borrow a few books from the library yesterday and haven't finished reading them yet."
Huang Chen's tone was complicated for a moment, "How...how did you know?"
"I know the Commander has his own plans every night," Z46 said calmly. "Even though Eugen didn't tell me, I've already guessed it. You can't just go to the Commander's room and ask for him, right? Otherwise, the whole harbor would be in chaos."
Huang Chen nodded silently. On the one hand, he was surprised at Z46's honesty, and on the other hand, he was surprised at Z46's open-mindedness.
"Let's go back slowly from this side, take a slow walk back." He took a long breath, took the girl's hand, and walked towards the path next to him.
……
Small island dormitory area, J-class destroyer dormitory building.
This is a large building that stands out among the scattered residential buildings.
From the outside, its structure does not look like the square structure of a normal building. Instead, it looks artistic, perhaps pointing out in strange places, or concave in strange places.
In Javelin's bedroom, the three girls were staring at each other.
"Actually, Z23 is tomorrow, so you don't need to prepare." Ayanami said expressionlessly.
She felt extremely regretful and just wanted to end the topic quickly. She had only wanted to keep the javelin and Z23, so how did things turn out like this?
How about asking Xuefeng to go play the arcade tomorrow? We should try to complete all the arcade machines on the second floor of the complex this month.
"No, no, didn't you say before that Z46 would go earlier because of the initiative? I, I should wait until the day after tomorrow to go, and I also need to prepare." Z23 shook his head and said.
She was originally very embarrassed about this topic, but they were both good friends. And after talking about it for so long, this topic was no longer as embarrassing as she had imagined.
"Yeah." Javelin nodded. "Even if it's a private date with the Commander, I need to prepare well."
"Well, Ayanami, you are the most experienced among us, what do you think we should do?" Z23 suddenly said.
"Eh..." Ayanami was stunned, unable to speak for a long time. How did she know? Her experience was of no use at all.
Someone come and save me!
The little girl faced the burning gazes of her two good friends and kept asking for help in her heart.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Chapter 577 Am I the only one who knows nothing?
Ayanami's expression relaxed, a look of relief flashing across her face, but she didn't rush to open the door. Instead, she cast her eyes on the javelin, "Whose could it be?"
Javelin shook his head, a hint of confusion on his face, "Who would come to me at this time?"
He jumped off the bed, put on his slippers and went to open the door.
"Wait a minute!"
Ayanami suddenly said, "Do you want us to hide for a while?"
"That's not necessary." Javelin waved his hand, while Z23 nodded in agreement. "I think it's better to hide for a while."
"No need, maybe it's the Queen and the others, just a few words will be enough." Javelin skipped to the door and gently opened it, but was stunned, "Sister Beifa."
"Befa!" Z23 and Ayanami were stunned and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide. After all, what they were discussing was so embarrassing that they naturally couldn't let Befa know.
Z23 subconsciously looked into the closet, and Ayanami slid to hide behind the curtains.
But suddenly the two of them stopped moving.
It seems... there is no need for me to hide?
We are all good friends, so is it strange that we whisper to each other?
Ayanami and Z23 looked at each other, and both showed a somewhat awkward smile on their faces, and slowly retreated back to sit on the chair or bed.
"Um... I'm sorry." At this moment, Javelin stood at the door, looking at the two people, with a somewhat apologetic expression, "I clearly agreed with Sister Beifa to learn how to make black tea, but I accidentally forgot."
"At this time? Making black tea?" Z23 looked out the window with some confusion. It was already completely dark.
It seems strange to learn to brew black tea at this time, right?
Hearing this, Javelin scratched his head awkwardly, "Since Sister Beifa is not free during the day, we made an appointment at night."
"Is that so..." Z23 nodded and looked at the javelin. If that was the case, there was nothing that could be done.
Although Ayanami didn't say anything, she was secretly happy in her heart.
Well, since Javelin is staying to learn how to make black tea with Belfa, Z23 is free now. Maybe we can invite Z23 over to play arcade games, she seemed quite interested earlier.
Beifa stood at the door, watching the various confused and odd expressions on the little ones' faces. He suddenly understood a lot and smiled lightly, "It seems that Javelin has other plans tonight? Then it's not a bad idea to postpone Hongcha's study until tomorrow. I won't need to help in the office tomorrow, so I can do it during the day or in the evening."
"Really?" Z23 stopped dead in her tracks. Her situation was dire; it would be her turn tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest, but she wasn't prepared at all.
Ayanami was stunned, feeling quite regretful, but unable to speak, so she could only turn her gaze to the javelin.
The latter hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.
Befa thought for a moment, "Why did Javelin suddenly want to learn how to make black tea? Perhaps I can help in other ways?"
Z23 and Ayanami also looked over curiously.
Indeed, it’s not the first day that Javelin has lived on the island. Why does he suddenly want to learn how to make black tea recently?
Javelin paused after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said awkwardly, "Actually, I was planning to learn how to make black tea so I can provide drinks when I make lunch boxes for the commander."
"I see." Befa nodded. "So when does Javelin plan to help the commander prepare his lunch?"
"We still have to find the right opportunity." Javelin suddenly became a little discouraged. "The commander eats in the cafeteria now. But there may be a chance when he gets busy in the future."
Beifa thought for a moment and said, "From what I understand now, the commander is probably rarely busy in the office."
"Eh? Really? Then all my preparations would be in vain." Javelin's face suddenly fell, revealing a regretful expression.
Beifa shook his head and said soothingly, "But in the future, when the port construction requires the commander to run around the island, or when the commander needs to go out, there will probably be an opportunity."
"Then I still have a chance." Javelin nodded thoughtfully.
Beifa struck while the iron was hot and continued, "In that case, it doesn't matter if we postpone the red tea study for the time being."
Javelin scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile, "I'm really sorry to trouble you, Sister Beifa."
"It's okay." Befa shook her head and was about to say hello to Ayanami and Z23 and leave, but she found that Z23's expression was a little strange.
The head maid instinctively sensed that someone in the room needed help, and she immediately slowed down. "Ms. Z23, may I ask who..."
"Javelin! You've already started preparing!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
Z23 looked at the javelin in disbelief, his lips moving slightly.
Beifa was a little confused. Preparation? What was Javelin preparing for? Why didn't he understand?
Javelin was stunned, still unable to react, "Ah."
"You, you clearly said you knew nothing before, but you have already been thinking about how to take the initiative to contact the commander!" Z23 said in a complicated tone.
The javelin had been prepared in advance, and Ayanami was also an experienced person, so was it possible that I was the only one who knew nothing?
"Ah, no, no, I didn't!" Javelin explained subconsciously, "I just, I just..."
As she spoke, she stuttered a little. She hadn't thought too much about it before. She just wanted to build a good relationship with the commander, so she didn't think about any date in the evening or anything like that.
Now after listening to Z23's mention, I found that it is indeed the case.
This made the little girl feel guilty about betraying her friend, and she didn't know how to explain it.
Ayanami watched in shock, not understanding how things had turned out this way. She could have gone back to playing arcade games.
Beifa blinked at the door, immediately understood everything, and chuckled, "Good friends shouldn't quarrel."
"I wasn't arguing, I just..." Z23 tried to explain, but after a few words of defense, he looked back at Javelin embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I was a little anxious."
"I should apologize. I'm sorry. I should have thought of it earlier." Javelin also said so.
