"I saw it." Zhenhai glanced over, nodded slightly and chuckled.
"Did you see it?" Zhao He looked in the direction Zhen Hai was looking at, and just in time he saw Huang Chen standing at the stairs, holding the handrail. He was immediately surprised, "The commander is going out again."
"Well, let's go out and buy some things." Huang Chen nodded, chatted with the girls for a while, and then left the jewelry store.
In just five minutes, he returned to the place where he had just seen Harbin, but he didn't see anyone.
"Old Huang, here!"
Huang Chen turned around and found that the three people from Harbin, Fushun and Changchun were hiding behind a transformer box like playing hide-and-seek, giving people a sneaky feeling.
"What's going on? Did you commit a crime?" Huang Chen grinned, unable to resist the urge to laugh. "Harbin, confess and you'll be treated leniently. Hiding won't help. No matter what you've done, you can tell us. After all, you're a shipgirl, so you can try to get leniency."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just afraid that Yixian would follow..." Harbin rolled his eyes at him, "Did you run into Yixian just now?"
"Yeah. Fushun and Changchun told you." Huang Chen lowered his head and pressed the heads of the two little guys.
"You didn't say anything unnecessary, did you?"
"No...no." Huang Chen wanted to say how could he make such a low-level mistake, but when he thought of what happened in the morning, he was speechless.
Harbin seemed to notice what he was thinking, chuckled twice, but didn't say much.
Fushun came out and explained, "This time I'm looking for the Commander to discuss the gift for Sister Yixian."
"Did you find out that you can't buy osmanthus wine?" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows.
Harbin's eyes widened, as if he looked down on you. "Did Changchun tell you that?"
"No, the commander didn't ask me!" The big brain tiger on the side said dissatisfiedly. Harbin glared at the little guy. What do you mean the commander didn't ask you? If he asked you, you should say yes, right? It was clearly agreed that such things cannot be told to Lao Huang.
"That's right. We originally planned to give her some other gifts besides the osmanthus tree." Harbin feigned anger, then scratched his head and said, "One of them was osmanthus wine, but Yixian has already bought it, so we're considering other things as a substitute."
"Why do we need to replace it? Isn't the osmanthus tree enough?" Huang Chen asked in confusion.
"But the osmanthus tree is just a tree. It used to have some practical value, but because of you, it has no practical value at all now," said Harbin.
"What do you mean? Why are you blaming me for everything?" Huang Chen was immediately dissatisfied.
"Why not blame you?" Harbin rolled his eyes. "The practical value of the osmanthus tree lies in its flowers. We were supposed to give them to Yixian in the afternoon, so she would have time to process them. There's definitely not enough time to make osmanthus wine, but osmanthus cake or other dishes are all fine. But now..."
Hearing this, Huang Chen immediately understood.
In order to ensure the surprise effect, the time of gift delivery has been moved to the evening, but this also means that Yixian has no time to deal with the osmanthus flowers on the osmanthus tree, resulting in little practical value left.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, "Giving gifts doesn't necessarily have to be of practical value."
"If a gift has no practical value, what's the point of giving it?" Harbin said. "And I don't mean it has to have only practical value. I mean it has to have both. It has to be meaningful and have practical value."
"Anyway, osmanthus wine won't do. We need to think of another gift with practical value."
Huang Chen was suddenly embarrassed. He never knew how to give gifts. He had the impression that when visiting relatives, he would basically give fruits and milk. For the elderly, he would give some health supplements, or some cigarettes and alcohol.
These do have practical value, but Huang Chen guaranteed that as long as he said it, Harbin would definitely go out and fight with him, and Fushun might also be eager to try. Changchun would not participate, but would not stop it either.
Besides, he himself was too embarrassed to say it out loud, as it would make him look foolish.
Which one should I prepare better?
Huang Chen was thinking, and suddenly remembered what Yixian had said just now, "Um... I just had a chat with Yixian and cleared up the misunderstanding about what we said this morning, so the osmanthus tree can be delivered in the afternoon."
"Clear the misunderstanding? Didn't I ask you to go on a date with Yixian?" Harbin was stunned.
"Yixian said that dating in a big restaurant is also considered a date." Huang Chen said seriously, "Anyway, she and I won't go out this afternoon, so you can find a chance to send the osmanthus tree out."
Chapter 646 My Brain is Frozen
Hearing this, Harbin was stunned.
After a moment's reaction, I realized that what Huang Chen said made sense.
Originally, moving the gift-giving to the evening was a helpless move, because Huang Chen's unnecessary words would make the gift-giving in the afternoon lose the surprise effect.
But if Huang Chen and Yixian go out on a date in the afternoon and that person is no longer around, who will you give the gift to?
Now that he is not going out, and Huang Chen has also explained his words in the morning through some methods, then continuing to send gifts can achieve the same effect as before.
It is even possible to achieve better results because of the "crying wolf" effect.
only--
"Old Huang, are you missing something in your brain?" Harbin glanced at Huang Chen with disdain and confusion on his face, and a hint of anger.
Fushun and Changchun also stood beside her with their arms folded, like door gods, glancing at him sideways.
Although this posture was quite disdainful, and the three guys' identical movements did add some oppression, unfortunately, the two little guys Fushun and Changchun were too cute. Huang Chen not only did not feel any oppression, but also wanted to laugh.
Just as he was about to curl up the corners of his mouth, he saw a dark mass coming towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Huang Chen turned his head away, only to see Harbin with a look of disappointment on his face. "Old Huang, are you missing a trick? Why didn't you go on a date that we agreed on?"
"Yixian said..."
"If Yixian says no, then no, then no. When did you become so honest?" Harbin poked Huang Chen's head with his hand and uttered a few words through gritted teeth, "I thought you were quite capable before, why are you pretending to be a good person now?"
"Pretend to be a good person!" Fushun and Changchun imitated Harbin and reached out to poke.
"When did I learn it? Don't slander me." Huang Chen retorted with bulging eyes. He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, reached out with his big hand, and reached directly towards Fushun Changchun.
The Big Brain Tiger dodged carefully, but Fushun was a step slower and was directly caught by Huang Chen.
Just when he thought he was caught by the big devil, he saw Harbin hit Huang Chen's hand with one hand.
The latter loosened his grip in pain, and Fushun took the opportunity to slip away. He hid behind Harbin and stuck out his tongue at Huang Chen, "Lululu!"
Huang Chen just grinned and didn't care. He looked at the slightly red back of his hand and couldn't help but gasp, "Hey, are you serious?"
"Don't interrupt me. I'm asking you, what are you going to do?" Harbin didn't answer, but asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What should we do? Just do as Yixian said..." Huang Chen said.
"What about the date? Is that really the end of it?"
"What do you think?"
Harbin fell silent for a moment. She actually didn't know much about this kind of thing.
I just wanted to prepare a gift for Yixian at the beginning, how come it gradually turned into this?
The girl narrowed her eyes and looked at the culprit opposite her. She wanted to slap him twice, kick him a few times, tie him up, and send him directly to Yixian's room.
You were so powerful before, but now you pretend to be pure?
Huang Chen sighed, "Dating is definitely not going to work... Don't move, just listen to me continue."
He calmed down Harbin who was about to take action and continued.
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. There's no point in rushing about this kind of thing. Yixian is a bit reserved, and it's not like I haven't dated her before. Is this the only thing that matters? Instead of arguing with me, why don't you go and persuade Yixian?"
Huang Chen certainly understood what Harbin meant. He probably saw that Harbin had been in C2 area for such a long time but his relationship with Yixian had not made any progress, so he exploded. The date was just a fuse.
But this kind of thing cannot be solved in a hurry.
Logically speaking, Yixian is his wedding ship, and the only one among so many girls in Area C2. Without any obstacles, this should go smoothly.
But in fact, it was not the case. Instead, Huang Chen procrastinated and still sleeps in the room converted from the small warehouse.
If I had to describe it, it would be a bit lukewarm. If I had to say there was progress, there was indeed some, but it wasn't like an old married couple. Instead, it was more like a relationship that was slowly warming up.
Maybe Yixian didn't care about these things at all. In any case, many times when they were alone together, Huang Chen always wanted to proceed to the final step, but was interrupted by strange accidents.
It can’t be said that it was interrupted. What I was going to say is that when the emotions were escalating, they would always get stuck inexplicably and then gradually cool down.
Huang Chen initially thought that he was unlucky and had made the wrong choice, but eventually he gradually discovered that the key to the problem lay in his attitude towards Yixian.
The girl's view on that kind of thing is completely different from Hood and the others. She values emotional communication more and doesn't care about anything else.
Therefore, every time they go on a date or at other times, they appear to be gentle and calm, with neither waves nor depression.
In fact, in Huang Chen's opinion, this is not a big deal.
There will be plenty of time in the future, and there will be opportunities for communication at all levels, so there is no need to rush. But now it seems that Harbin is the first to rush?
"Persuading Yixian, if persuading Yixian would be useful, I would have said it long ago." Harbin rolled his eyes, "Can't you be a little tougher and more proactive?"
"Is it necessary? What if Yixian doesn't like it?" Huang Chen shook his head.
Harbin breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little discouraged.
This kind of thing cannot be resolved overnight. Today, it was because of the previous trigger that she couldn't help but say so much.
She shook her head and was about to get up, but suddenly her vision darkened, followed by a puzzled voice, "What are you all confused about?"
"Hmm?" Huang Chen raised his head blankly, but saw some scattered black hair. His heart skipped a beat immediately. After a closer look, he found that it was Zhenhai.
"Zhenhai! Why are you here?" Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I saw the commander coming out before, there was something strange going on, so I paid a little more attention to him." Zhenhai explained briefly.
Huang Chen grinned, and Harbin immediately laughed disdainfully, "I told you that Old Huang Chen is not reliable at all."
Zhenhai smiled slightly and said nothing more, "I heard you guys talking about Yixian before?"
"Hmm..." Harbin hesitated for a moment, looked at Fushun and Changchun, and explained the whole story. As long as it was not Yixian, there was no need to cover up such a thing.
I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid that I would let the cat out of the bag in front of so many people. I didn't expect Huang Chen to be so unreliable.
"But it doesn't matter now, the problem has been solved. We'll just deliver the osmanthus tree in the afternoon." Harbin concluded.
"What about the commander's date with Yixian?" Zhenhai chuckled.
But without waiting for anyone to answer, he said to himself, "Actually, I have an idea about this matter. What do you think?"
Chapter 647 Gaze
Fenggu City is about 400 kilometers away from Ningyang City. Compared with the great miracle known as the City of Ship Girls, this place can only be regarded as a small city.
But it is only compared with Ningyang City.
In fact, whether from the perspective of urban area, urban population, economic level, etc., it has exceeded the scale of the largest cities in some regions.
There are also quite a few ship girls living in this city. The scale of the local ship girl branch and the ship girl headquarters in some areas are not much different. They cover an area of nearly two million square meters and even include commercial streets and residences, as well as an office complex consisting of three five-story office buildings.
In addition to the Ship Girl Affairs Office, the Military Police also has an administrative department. Each ship girl has an agency, and there is even a commission hall here.
You can imagine how many ship girls live in Fenggu City - if there are too few ship girls, it will not be able to support the basic needs of the commission hall.
Let’s not talk about whether anyone will come to place a commission. If there are not enough ship girls, it is likely that no one will be able to place the commission.
Despite having such a large population of ship girls, Fenggu City still has the characteristics of a regional secondary city.
That is, the ship girls tend to live separately.
In the largest city in the region, such as Ningyang City, the vast majority of ship girls live in the ship girl headquarters, and only a small number live in other areas.
However, this phenomenon is completely opposite in other smaller cities. Although there will still be a large number of free ship girls gathered in the ship girl divisions, a larger proportion of ship girls will live in the city like ordinary people.
If it were another city, the few shipgirls scattered across the city would be like a drop in the ocean, with only one or two shipgirls per block on average.
In Fenggu City, this number could rise to ten, or even twenty. The number might not be impressive, but in terms of proportion, it is equivalent to a tenfold increase.
This means that even ordinary people, if they go out for a day in any corner of this city, will always pass by ship girls as long as they pay a little attention.
Therefore, the city's attitude towards ship girls has become more tolerant and harmonious. You must know that in other coastal areas, even if people have good intentions towards ship girls, they tend to keep their distance.
It is hard to talk about comfort when living in such a place. How can it compare to the common life of the people in Fenggu City?
Such effects are everywhere in the C1 area, so it is not unreasonable to say that the C1 area is the most suitable for the Freedom Ship Girls to live in and is also the area with the largest number of Freedom Ship Girls.
Quanjing Street in the southern district of Fenggucheng is not long, only about 60 meters. There are about 20 shops on each side of the street. They are all ordinary shops that sell almost everything from hardware to clothing to glasses.
No. 37 is located on the south side of Quanjing Street. It is a bookstore, or to be more precise, the entrance to a bookstore.
The bookstore is located on the second floor. The second floors of more than 20 shops on the south side are connected together and are all part of this bookstore.
When it was bustling in the past, standing at the street entrance, you could see the brown panoramic glass windows decorated with various signs on the south side, as well as rows of bookshelves through the glass windows, and many children sitting casually on the stools next to the bookshelves or even on the ground reading.
Brown glass windows covered the entire street horizontally, and only the two words "Yuelan" written on the sign of shop No. 37 indicated the name of the bookstore.
This is a bookstore that has been open for a long time. Many regular customers here can't remember when it opened here.
I only remember that when I was a child, I would often go to this bookstore with my friends to read books. Now I have grown up unknowingly, and my children, like me in the past, would retreat to the bookstore after class and read those strange extracurricular books intently.
But everyone knows that the owner of this bookstore is a Kancolle, or rather, the owners of this bookstore are Kancolle.
