Huang Chen glared at her, then turned around and looked at Zhao He with some hesitation. If the lantern was really taken out for everyone to see, the most embarrassed person at the scene would probably not be Zhao He, but him.

He originally just wanted to take a gamble because he saw the girl was timid, but he didn't expect that the girl was not afraid at all. Now it was his turn to be scared.

However, the girls around all showed very interested expressions, and even the girl who had been awakened nearby and did not come over came over curiously.

Huang Chen looked around and immediately realized that it was useless for him to say anything. There was no way to end this matter unless he showed it to everyone.

He let out a long sigh and nodded. Zhao He immediately walked forward and uncovered the black cloth covering the lantern, and the work was immediately revealed to everyone.

In an instant, the air in the hall was silent.

Harbin thought for a long time, frowned, and whispered, "Is this a character lantern?"

"The characters in the lanterns are dressed in somewhat ancient styles, and their facial shapes...are they more focused on the spirit?" Hai Tian commented hesitantly.

Fushun also stared at it for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and jumped up, "I know, this is Houyi. Zhaohe didn't prepare a bow and arrow, so it's still a little hard to guess!"

Anshan, who was standing by, looked at his sister with a complicated expression but said nothing.

Huang Chen stood silently aside, watching everyone's random guesses, and somehow he felt a lot more comfortable.

He patted Zhao He and smiled, "It's okay. Tell everyone loudly that this is actually the commander."

Chapter 639 Embarrassment

As soon as Huang Chen said this, the air fell into silence. The girls looked at each other and stared at Zhao He's work for a long time without saying a word.

To be honest, lanterns are not like sculptures. No matter how finely they are polished, some details are difficult to achieve a lifelike quality.

At most, we can only achieve a similarity in terms of some characteristic images, but it is impossible to make it exactly the same.

For example, for the head of this lantern, it is naturally impossible to use bamboo strips to build the skeleton of the eyes, nose and mouth like modeling, and then depict the details one by one.

It was just a simple piece of white paper, and the rest of the space was filled in by Zhaohe with his own painting skills.

Zhaohe was very good at painting, but his ink paintings were unique to Donghuang, focusing on spirit and valuing the spirit rather than the form. This was vividly reflected in the face that the girl painted for the lantern.

There is a nose and eyes, but that’s all there is to it.

If no one introduced it, no one would be able to tell that this was the commander's lantern.

Everyone was silent for a long time. No one knew whether they were shocked by Zhao He's imagination or surprised by the lantern work in front of them. In short, no one commented for a long time.

Zhao He couldn't help but shrink his neck, seeming to feel a little embarrassed.

Embarrassment, on the other hand, is relative.

Sometimes, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Although Zhaohe's work, in a sense, seems to be more related to another traditional festival of Donghuang.

But Huang Chen accepted it calmly, and stood aside with his hands on his hips calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Suddenly, all the doubtful and solemn eyes were focused on Zhao He.

Fushun looked around, his eyes darting back and forth between his sisters. He mainly noticed Anshan, who also looked shocked and puzzled. He immediately took the opportunity to ask his own question, "Then why is the Commander wearing this outfit?"

If we want to extract characteristics and images, then as a commander, the most important thing is the white navy uniform.

In fact, since the birth of KanColle and Sirens in this world, the navy in the old world sense has disappeared from this world.

I heard that some inland countries still have naval organizations on some large lakes, but they no longer use white naval uniforms.

Therefore, in various senses, the white naval uniform is the symbol of the commander.

If this dress is on the lantern, anyone can tell who the lantern is made for.

"Because it's Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to have a festive atmosphere." Zhaohe said in a low voice, seeming less confident.

In fact, she also felt that her work was a bit strange. She covered it with a cloth at first because she wanted to keep it secret, but later she couldn't tell whether she felt embarrassed.

But now I do feel a little embarrassed.

Huang Chen seemed quite at ease, and patted the girl's shoulder to express his encouragement, "It's okay, apart from the fact that they are a little bit different, everything else is fine."

Zhao He's face suddenly fell, and Ying Rui shook his head, "Commander, what you said is too much, actually..."

However, the girl glanced at the lantern and swallowed the rest of her words unconsciously, muttering softly, "It really doesn't look like it."

Zhao He's head suddenly lowered even more.

Harbin let out a long sigh and couldn't help but smack his lips. "Old Huang... I can only say that you have a really good attitude!"

"It's just okay." Huang Chen smiled. He always felt that he had a good mentality.

It’s just a lantern, there are so many characters outside, such as Chang’e, Jade Rabbit, Wu Gang, and Toad. In short, it’s not something we haven’t seen before.

Moreover, compared with the statues of Elizabeth and others, this lantern had much less impact on Huang Chen.

Of course, the most crucial reason is that it does not look like it, although if we evaluate it from the perspective of statues or paintings, not looking like it cannot be said to be an advantage.

But it was precisely because this lantern was not like the real thing that Huang Chen did not feel weird.

That's why he could so naturally put on an expression that said this matter has nothing to do with me. If he had put on a more realistic expression, he really wouldn't be able to be so relaxed.

Thinking of this, he comforted the girl again, making her hair, which she had just combed after getting up, a little messy.

Footsteps came from the back of the hall. Huang Chen turned around and saw Yixian wearing a black apron, with her hair casually tied up. She came out with a few plates of side dishes and looked at him puzzledly.

"What's going on here?"

"No, nothing." Huang Chen laughed and pulled the somewhat dazed Zhao He back to the table to look up. "Let's have noodles today."

"Yes, eel noodles, and a few side dishes." Yixian explained, putting down the dishes in his hands, looking at Zhaohe with a frown, "Who is she?"

"Hi." Huang Chen said nothing and turned to look at the girl's work.

Yixian looked over and pondered for a moment, "That's Zhaohe's lantern. Is it the image of the commander?"

"Hmm!" Zhao He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing.

"Wow! Such a huge lantern!" Yixian chuckled. "It's similar to the Commander's paintings. It doesn't focus on form, but on the spirit."

Huang Chen also took the opportunity to ruffle the girl's hair and whispered, "So there's no need for you to be so melancholy. You have shortcomings, but you also have advantages!"

Zhao He puffed out his lips and muttered twice, but said nothing more.

Ying Rui and the others also came over to comfort Zhao He. In fact, the girl's work was very good. Although it did not look like the real thing, from the perspective of lanterns alone, it was a very excellent character lantern.

Moreover, it is unlikely that this kind of lantern made of bamboo strips and colored paper will look exactly like a real person.

The girl seemed to have figured this out, and stopped worrying about it. She sat at the table, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and waited for dinner.

But his eyes would occasionally sweep across Huang Chen's face, then turn back to look at the lantern, as if he was planning something.

Huang Chen didn't care and looked at Yixian, "Besides watching the moon tonight, do you have any other plans?"

"Today?" Yixian tilted his head, thought for a moment, and whispered, "The lanterns and other things need to be arranged on the terrace, and then it's time to prepare the mooncakes. I'm not preparing too many this time, and the fillings and skins are already prepared, so it won't take too long. I can start preparing around four or five o'clock..."

The girl rambled on and on about today's plans before looking at Huang Chen with some confusion, "Commander, do you have any ideas?"

"My idea..." Huang Chen lowered his head, "Can the mooncakes be made in the morning? Then I can free up the afternoon..."

"In the morning?" Yixian was a little confused, but nodded. "Of course, Commander?"

Huang Chen picked up the bowl and chopsticks and prepared to eat, "Just freeing up some time to make some preparations."

Chapter 640 Do I need to teach you this?

Seeing that Huang Chen didn't seem to want to say more, Yixian didn't ask any more questions and continued to prepare breakfast.

Soon, Yubari and Wakatsuki also came over from the Kancolle headquarters to have a free meal, and everyone started to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhenhai asked Zhao Yingrui and Haitian Haiqi to prepare the space for the terrace.

As for the rooftop terrace, the girls don’t go there often, so they naturally need to clean it and take a rest, and then prepare some evening activities.

Although the evening activity is nominally about moon-viewing, if the prop is really just a moon, no matter how round and bright it is, everyone will just stare at it for ten minutes at best, study the patterns on it, and share various legends or stories they have heard from unknown places, and then it will end.

Therefore, we also need to prepare some other activities, such as small games, barbecues, etc.

In fact, these activities are generally not very complicated, and they may just be slightly different in theme. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival is about appreciating the moon, and the Lantern Festival is about guessing lantern riddles.

But when a dozen people get together, eating and drinking are inevitable, and it eventually turns into a large gathering or party.

Yixian and the others were preparing mooncakes in the kitchen.

A large stove that was usually used to process vegetables was cleared out, and on the clean table were placed a variety of fillings and doughs. The quantity of each was not large, but the variety was astonishing.

Not only are there different types of fillings, but there also seems to be a lot of skins prepared.

Yixian, Ninghai and Pinghai sat in the back. Pinghai used a small scale to divide the filling into pieces, while Ninghai did the same to separate the skin.

Finally, Yixian wrapped them together, placed them in a mold, and gently pressed and patted them, and a small mooncake was formed.

Huang Chen leaned back and watched for a long time. Staring at the various fillings, he suddenly felt a little strange, "Why don't I see any with five-nut filling?"

"Hmm?" Yixian turned his head slightly, his face tilted to the side, and glanced at the commander, but his hands did not stop moving. "Commander, do you want some mooncakes?"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Pinghai on the side immediately looked at her with anticipation. Although Ninghai did not show it so obviously, the glances she gave from time to time also showed the girl's thoughts.

"No, that." Huang Chen felt that this question was a bit puzzling, and the two little guys' gazes also made him feel a little strange. "I'm just asking, didn't you say before that you would prepare a five-nut filling?"

Ning Haipinghai immediately turned back in disappointment and continued to prepare the filling and skin.

But Huang Chen was a little confused.

Could it be that Yixian is not planning to make five-nut filling this year?

So the two little guys just wanted him to speak, and once he spoke, Yixian would have to prepare mooncakes with five-nut filling?

Huang Chen scratched his head, still feeling a little strange. He looked carefully at the fillings on the table and suddenly found that several of the fillings looked sticky, like meat fillings, which was far from mooncake fillings.

"Prepared, of course." Yixian chuckled, "The oil-skin mooncakes were prepared a few days ago. Today, these are some crispy and snowy ones."

"Eh? A few days ago? When did it happen?" Huang Chen was stunned, a little confused.

"It was two days ago, when the Commander went to help Yubari and the others pack their luggage, right?" Yixian asked softly, then explained, "Oil-skin mooncakes need to be left out for a day or two to allow the oil to absorb, so that the texture and flavor can reach their best."

The girl said as she arranged another mooncake and placed it on the baking tray, then wiped her hands with a towel beside her. "Commander, please wait a moment. Those mooncakes are at their best right now!"

After hearing these words, Pinghai and Ninghai immediately cast expectant and excited glances towards Huang Chen.

"Ah! No need." Huang Chen suddenly realized that the two little guys were just greedy and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Without Yixian's permission, Pinghai and Ninghai naturally didn't dare to eat it secretly. But if the commander wanted to eat, then they would definitely be able to have a bite.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, patting the two little guys on the head, half to comfort them, half to explain to Yixian, and said, "Let's wait until tonight and eat it at night. We just had breakfast."

Hearing this, Yixian chuckled. Ninghai seemed to have thought of something and his eyes suddenly became firm. Pinghai was still reluctant to give up, but seeing that his sister had given up, he gave up too.

Huang Chen was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Harbin waving at him at the end of the corridor. They chatted for a few words and then walked over.

"Are you ready?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you." Harbin nodded, walked in front to lead the way, and said with some dissatisfaction, "You shouldn't have said so much at breakfast just now. Now Yixian knows everything. There's no surprise at all."

"No way? She doesn't know what it is?" Huang Chen shrank his neck, "And he just asked her to free up her afternoon time."

"Of course not!" Harbin didn't look back and led Huang Chen to the door of the jewelry store. Fushun and Changchun had already been waiting there for a while. "Anyway, I'm planning to move the surprise to the evening."

"What should we do in the afternoon?" Huang Chen felt something was wrong.

"What should I do?" Harbin turned around and gave him a strange look. "It was you who asked Yixian to free up the afternoon, so why don't you take Yixian out on a date then? Do you really need me to teach you something so simple?"

Huang Chen pursed his lips and said nothing. He followed the others to the entrance of the alley before nodding, "I understand."

"Disgusting! You act like you've been wronged." Harbin scoffed, then quickly ran out. "I'll go get the car in."

Fushun followed Huang Chen, a little confused, "What happened, Commander?"
