The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

He looked at everyone, intending to put an end to the incident.

But Shenxue raised her head, a hint of timidity and confusion in her eyes. "Is this all right? I just misunderstood you. Is a simple apology enough?"

"That's enough!" Huang Chen waved his hand and spoke before the girl could speak, "If you want to say anything about offering compensation, take it back, or I'll be really angry!"

Shenxue shrank her neck, clasped her hands together, glanced at everyone, and suddenly revealed a rather healing smile. Even her tail became much more fluffy. "Commander Huang Chen, you really are a good person!"

"Yeah." Huang Chen said expressionlessly, changing the subject. "You just said that you were planning to talk to Yu Zhang about the rent?"

To be honest, the girl in front of him who was curled up like a little animal was Yubari and his friends' landlord. Huang Chen felt quite strange about this.

This girl looks even weaker than Ruoyue. Can she really avoid being at a disadvantage when facing some unreasonable tenants?

Of course, since they were not familiar with each other, Huang Chen didn't dare to ask, so he just assumed that this girl had some special methods.

"Ah, yes, that's what I originally thought. Since Yubari's business hasn't been very good in recent months, I thought...but there's no point in saying this now, right?" Miyuki nodded and said seriously.

"Yeah." Huang Chen nodded. Now that Yu Zhang was about to leave, there was no need to rent an apartment or anything like that. He was about to say something else, but suddenly saw the girl's timid expression and immediately slapped his head, "I suddenly remembered something. I might have to go out for a while. Um... Yu Zhang, you should talk to the landlord and solve the rental problem at the same time."

"Master, what's up?" Yubari asked doubtfully, but still obediently followed the commander's advice. He looked at Miyuki and said softly, "Well, it's a good thing you're here. Otherwise, let's see how to cancel the lease..."

Huang Chen ignored the girls' conversation and stood up to go to the first floor. Changchun immediately understood what the commander meant and followed him downstairs with Fushun and Harbin.

The port saboteur was still confused, not understanding what he was doing here, but Harbin had already figured it out. He looked at him in surprise, "Old Huang, you're leaving?"

"Why should I stay?" Huang Chen rolled his eyes at her. "If I stay any longer, that girl will probably tremble to the point of electrocution."

So fear is not something that can be easily resolved.

Although all the misunderstandings have been resolved, Miyuki still shivers unconsciously when she sees him. Huang Chen feels that there is no need to put pressure on others, so he lets Yubari and Ruoyue talk to her. They are all acquaintances, so there will be no accidents.

"I see that," Harbin said with an expression that said, "Of course I know." "I'm just sighing. You actually gave up such a good opportunity to salvage the boat. The child is scared now, but also a little ashamed. Right now, you just need to go up and say a few nice words..."

Huang Chen's expression suddenly became strange. "Harbin, are you really a ship girl? Why are you so skilled?"

Fushun was listening in a daze, and then it finally dawned on him, "Oh, so Miyuki is afraid of the commander!"

Chapter 630 Withdrawing Funds

Huang Chen took the girl to wait downstairs for a long time, but did not see Shenxue and the others coming down, so he simply went with Harbin and the others to ask about logistics.

However, because this happened suddenly, Huang Chen was not sure whether he would have time to pack his luggage in the evening, so he was not too anxious. He just asked casually, as if he was taking a few guys shopping.

It was almost noon when I returned to the bicycle shop that I saw Miyuki leaving.

"I'm afraid we can't finish it today." Huang Chen shook his head and sighed.

The logistics department stops accepting goods after 4 pm. If he was in a hurry, he would definitely have time to pack up by skipping lunch and working overtime, but Huang Chen didn't think it was necessary.

"It's too late, forget it. It will be the same tomorrow." Harbin said nonchalantly.

They walked into the store and saw Yubari still standing downstairs. "Hey, Master!"

"What did she say?" Huang Chen asked. Actually, when he saw Shenxue from afar just now, he wanted to say hello, but when he thought that the girl was afraid of him, he gave up.

"It's all settled." Yu Zhang nodded and ran to Huang Chen, looking as if he had put a lot of effort into being well-behaved.

Huang Chen smiled upon seeing this and rubbed the girl's head, but suddenly frowned, "By the way, I remember seeing a rental advertisement posted on the notice outside a few days ago?"

"Eh? Is that so?" Yu Zhang suddenly looked even more confused than Huang Chen.

Fushun raised his hand and echoed, "I saw it too. I saw it this morning when I was riding on a tricycle."

Huang Chen had a blank expression on his face, thinking in his heart that there was no need for you to mention the tricycle.

Although it was fun to drive the girls around, especially when we were at the KanColle headquarters, looking at the envious eyes of the commanders.

But after calming down and thinking about it, I still feel a little ashamed.

However, if there is another chance in the future, Huang Chen will do the same.

"Yes, it's right in front of those bicycles. That's why I thought you bought the house yourself. Otherwise, why would you put up a rental ad? Turns out you didn't."

"Oh, oh, I remember." Yubari closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly realized something. He said in a long tone, "I remember, I remember, that... is it still there?"

The little fox said this, then lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Changchun seemed to have discovered something interesting. Curiously, he came over and squatted down to look up at her from the side. "Hey, what's going on?"

"This..." Yubari was still a little embarrassed, and even her face turned slightly red.

When Huang Chen saw the girl's expression, he suddenly became more curious. He blinked and motioned Harbin to speak as well. Before the latter understood, he suddenly heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

Ruoyue leaned on the armrest in confusion, "Everyone?"

"We were talking about the rental advertisement outside." Huang Chen touched his chin and explained briefly. Suddenly, he felt that the scene in front of him was inexplicably familiar.

I, Harbin, Fushun, and Changchun surrounded a blushing little fox... It's not good to think about it...

"Ah, that one." Ruoyue blinked, and the next moment she started to laugh, "That was posted by my sister. She said we're leaving soon, but the contract is until the end of this month, so she wanted to rent it out for the remaining two weeks."

"Hmm?" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the little fox squatting beside him with surprise. Is your business sense so strong?

Fushun and Changchun's eyes widened instantly. Harbin commented softly, "This is even more powerful than Ninghai and Pinghai..."

"That can't be wasted." Yubari grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly.

At that time, she didn't know that she would meet the commander by such a coincidence. The port area of ​​C3 District was so far away, and she had no money, so of course she had to do everything she could to raise money for the trip.

Huang Chen was also at a loss for words at first, but after a moment he suppressed his laughter and gave the little girl a thumbs-up with a firm gaze. "Very good, it's a good way to recover the funds, not shabby at all."

"Okay, master, hurry up and pack your things." Yu Zhang was a little annoyed, especially the smirking expressions of Ruoyue and Fushun.

She puffed out her lips and waved her chubby little fists, and her furry ears trembled.

Huang Chen grabbed the little girl and said with a smile, "What are you still packing? Let's go back and eat!"

We went back to the restaurant to have lunch. There was no rush after lunch. We chatted and played around. It was almost three o'clock when we got back to the bicycle shop. After we finished cleaning up, it was almost six o'clock. The working day was over.

Although everything seemed a little leisurely, by the morning of the next day, which was the 14th, all the luggage had been sorted out.

As the small truck carrying several large cardboard boxes disappeared at the end of the path, Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. A matter was finally over. Although it was not complicated, the feeling of finality was not bad.

"Will we never come back in the future?" Ruoyue seemed a little melancholy, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"Of course you can come back. The port area is not far from here. Just treat it as a trip or going out to relax." Huang Chen rubbed the little girl's head, messed up her short blue hair, and then smoothed it out.

"No, it's okay. Ruoyue just wants to be with her sister and you." The little girl shook her head and said firmly.

Huang Chen also curled up the corners of his mouth. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the little girl Ruoyue seemed to be particularly afraid of loneliness, and often looked for Yu Zhang in a panic.

However, after I established a good relationship with Anshan and the others, this situation has become less common. When I return to the port area and get to know Liangyue and the others, I will probably be able to get rid of this strange behavior, right?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the little girl.

The latter tilted his head in confusion, "Sir?"

"Nothing, it's just..." Huang Chen suddenly had some bad taste, "Ruoyue will have two more sisters and three more sisters in the future. Are you mentally prepared?"

"Ah!" Ruoyue was stunned and looked a little flustered.

Yubari looked a little dissatisfied, "I told you so."

"But, but..." Ruoyue pursed her lips. This kind of thing could not be solved by telling her in advance.

"Don't be afraid, everyone is a very nice person." Huang Chen stroked the little girl's hair, smiled and took a step back, "Let's go to the big restaurant. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have to prepare some things today."

The girls nodded.

Huang Chen began to lose his mind: Would the girls in Hong Kong also prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival? How would they prepare?

"Master!" Xi Zhang pulled the corner of Huang Chen's clothes with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ah." Huang Chen came back to his senses, blinked, and saw that the door had been closed. He immediately shook his head and said, "Let's go back. We need to prepare some lanterns today."

Chapter 631 Lantern

For Mid-Autumn Festival, the customs in most places are similar, eating moon cakes, appreciating the moon, and family reunion.

Different places have different small details. Some places have lion dances, and some places even eat glutinous rice dumplings, making it difficult to tell whether it is Mid-Autumn Festival or Lantern Festival.

But for Huang Chen, eating mooncakes is necessary during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he only needs to eat mooncakes.

As for appreciating the moon, in his memory, he seemed to have never encountered a Mid-Autumn Night with clear sky. There was always a layer of gray clouds, or it was simply a rainy night.

In addition, primary or middle school teachers always like to take the opportunity to ask students to write essays during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival always coincides with another more important festival to verify the mathematical formula 7+3=8.

Therefore, he actually has no special impression of Mid-Autumn Festival.

The only thing I still remember is the five-nut mooncakes that were as hard as ice and the bean paste mooncakes that were so sweet that they were greasy. They were obviously not very delicious, but I kept eating them.

So when Huang Chen heard Yixian and the others talking about lanterns, he was actually confused for a moment. In his memory, weren't lanterns something exclusive to the Lantern Festival?

But it’s a festival anyway, as long as it’s lively and fun, anything goes.

Yesterday, Huang Chen brought Harbin, Changchun and Fushun to help, and the other girls were preparing materials.

After buying bamboo poles and colored paper at the market, you need to process them next. Split the bamboo poles into small strips half a centimeter wide and less than two millimeters thick. In fact, there are ready-made strips available in the market, but Zhaohe said that the fun of this kind of thing is to do it bit by bit by yourself.

Moreover, for the girls, this kind of work is not difficult. Huang Chen only learned it for about ten minutes and was able to successfully produce a usable finished product.

After getting the bamboo strips, you can make lanterns. There are no special requirements for making lanterns. It is generally based on your own preferences. There are also several traditional templates, but as a ship girl, she certainly will not follow the rules. Fushun declared that she wanted to make a particularly huge Suzaku lantern.

Perhaps because it was too huge, it unexpectedly aroused Changchun and Zhaohe's strange desire to win. In short, everyone's sketches were bigger than each other, which also led to the fact that the work of preparing bamboo strips has not been completed yet.

Huang Chen led Yu Zhang and Ruo Yue back to the food street.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the streets are filled with more festive atmosphere. In fact, some businesses started organizing activities in the name of Mid-Autumn Festival half a week ago, hanging lanterns in the shape of the moon, carrots and rabbits, and providing special moon cakes with every meal.

Compared with those bustling shops, the big restaurant seems a bit deserted. The outside still looks the same as before, ancient and somewhat monotonous.

Huang Chen did not go to the big restaurant, but walked to the jewelry store nearby.

The jewelry store is now completely empty, with only a few empty shelves and nothing else. There is not even anyone watching the store. The door is just ajar, so even if a stranger comes in, no one will notice.

However, I think ordinary thieves would not want to steal things from a store full of ship girls and commanders.

It has no other meaning except to add some fun to the dull lives of those ship girls and commanders.

There were not many people in the jewelry store, but the restaurant was quite lively. When Huang Chen and Yu Zhang walked down from the second floor, Yixian and the others were almost all sitting in the hall, tidying up bamboo strips, cutting colored paper, or studying the drawings of their own lanterns.

"You're back." Yixian noticed the footsteps on the stairs, raised her head and showed a bright smile, holding up the drawing paper and handing it over, "How is it?"

The other girls also greeted her, and Fushun pulled Yu Zhang and Ruo Yue to ask for their help.

Huang Chen walked up to Yixian and studied the drawings for a long time. He blinked, still a little confused. "Is this a lantern?"

"This is the lantern I plan to make this time." Yixian covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard it.

Huang Chen suddenly felt curious. Although a flower lantern could indeed be considered a lantern to some extent, the one prepared by Yixian looked too simple, didn't it?

"Lanterns, lanterns, some have unique shapes, some have elegant paintings. What do you think, Commander?" Yixian seemed to notice Huang Chen's confusion and explained with a chuckle.

Huang Chen was stunned at first, then shook his head with a somewhat awkward smile, "I was also bewitched by Fushun and the others. I just wanted this to be big and weird, but I forgot to focus on the content. So, can I do this?"

He looked at the picture album in Yixian's hand. There was a simple octagonal lantern in it. As a festival lantern, it certainly did not need to be made of good wood like a real lantern.

It is better to use thicker bamboo strips for weaving.

The key is that different patterns can be drawn on each side of the masking paper, such as figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, dragons and phoenixes, fish and insects, etc.

"Of course, Commander, do you have any ideas? Yixian can help and say no." The girl chuckled.

Huang Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, then strolled over to the other girls, wanting to see their work.

Zhenhai generously showed her drawing paper, as if she was planning to make a lotus lantern, Haitian was a scroll, Haiqi was what seemed to be a pipa, Yingrui was a pine tree, and Zhaohe's was not seen because the girl covered it up too quickly.

Fushun is a very big Suzaku, and it also asked Yu Zhang and Ruoyue for help. Changchun is a very big Tiger, and it asked Harbin for help. Pinghai Ninghai is a very big Baozi, and the two help each other.

The lanterns in Anshan and Taiyuan were of normal size, so we didn’t ask for help.

"Weird, all weird." Huang Chen wandered around, still undecided. He was about to make one in Yixian's style, but then he remembered the eight sides of the octagonal lantern and wondered what to draw. He hesitated again. He wanted to make a moon, a bunny, or something, but that didn't seem creative enough.

"Commander, don't be too anxious." Yixian said softly, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival, and as long as we're together, it doesn't matter what kind of lanterns we have. Simple and unadorned, or complex and ornate, they can all bring a festive atmosphere."

"I'm not anxious, I just don't know what to do." Huang Chen shook his head. He couldn't possibly be a Transformer, could he? Could the Cybertronians also bring holiday blessings?

He shook his head, sat down at the table, grabbed a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and began to draw casually, hoping that the random lines could give him inspiration.

Suddenly, he squinted his eyes, looked up at everyone in the hall, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I think the octagonal lantern is not a bad idea."
