"Less than two months? So soon?"
Huang Chen's eyes widened immediately and he counted on his fingers.
He left the academy around September 10th, and now it's mid-October...
That is to say, not just less than two months, but even just over a month?
Thinking of this, a rather strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
In his impression, a lot of things had happened after his training at the academy, such as finding Bismarck and the others and returning to the port area to organize activities.
Even the agricultural project in the port area and the four teams that went out to look for clues about the girl have been sent out.
How come when I look back, it’s only been a little over a month?
He shook his head in confusion, his eyes falling on the royal wealth not far away that was looking around excitedly, as if it had not been seen for hundreds of years, and he immediately smiled again.
"Luckily, I'm not the only one who thinks this counts as a revisit to an old place."
New Jersey scooped another large spoonful into his mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, shuddered, and then muttered, "Less than two months. I've had more vacation time than this before."
Huang Chen reached out and patted the other person's head, somewhat dissatisfied, "I know, I know you used to be a teacher, New Jersey teacher!"
"Hey, student Huang Chen, shout again?"
Huang Chen ignored her and walked to the dormitory area in front, stepping on the leaves of the ginkgo tree.
New Jersey's previous dormitory was on the second floor of Building No. 5. You can see the side of Building No. 5 from outside the dormitory area, and you can see the dormitory balcony by slightly turning your perspective.
Huang Chen once lived there for half a month, while New Jersey lived there for decades.
He looked from afar and saw that the windows of the dormitory were closed, the light blue curtains had turned grass-green, and a petite figure was looming on the curtains.
"What are you looking at?" New Jersey curiously leaned over, squeezed together with Huang Chen, and looked over there with his face close to his.
However, because the girl's movements were a bit big, Huang Chen's sight shifted slightly, so he didn't know what he was looking at.
"Is it the previous dormitory? Or is he spying on other people?"
New Jersey asked with a smile, suddenly lowering his voice and leaning close to his ear, "If it's someone else, Commander, you can tell me. I can ask for you."
"Enough of that nonsense." Huang Chen pushed the girl helplessly, then raised his chin and pointed to Building No. 5 in the distance, "Looking at the previous dormitory."
"What's so good about this..." New Jersey touched his chin and suddenly nudged Huang Chen, "Someone has moved in."
"What else? Should I keep it for you?" The latter glanced at her and chuckled, "Aren't you unhappy? You've only been gone for over a month and someone else is already living in the dormitory."
"I thought I could revisit the place this time, but I found that everything and everyone has changed..."
New Jersey frowned, a little confused, "Honey, why is your speech so strange today?"
"Really?" Huang Chen asked himself and felt that it might be because of hatred that the girl spoke strangely.
Maybe it's because I've been in contact with enemies more often during this period?
Huang Chen touched his chin and looked at the time. "Okay, it's almost time. Let's go find Musashi."
"Alright!" New Jersey nodded, no longer bothering with the attitude of the dormitory or the commander. He waved his hand and shouted into the distance, "Royal Fortune, let's go! Let's go find Musashi!"
"I see!"
A noisy sound was immediately heard from not far away, and soon a girl with dark brown hair came running over.
He ran to Huang Chen like he was offering a treasure, and then stretched out his hand, "Boss, this is a good thing!"
Royal Wealth smiled brilliantly and stared at Huang Chen with an eager and expectant look.
The latter felt quite pressured by her gaze, and without caring what she was holding, he reached out and touched her head before asking, "What good stuff?"
"I found these white fruits under the leaves." Royal Fortune came over and said mysteriously, stretching out his little hand to reveal a few fruits on it.
Huang Chen was speechless for a moment, but he said helplessly, "Ginkgo, and isn't it normal for fruits to grow on trees?"
"Is this normal? But those trees in the port area..." Royal Wealth was stunned, showing a look of surprise and confusion.
"The trees in the port area are all ornamental, but there are also many new fruit trees planted. They should start to bear fruit next year."
Huang Chen said while shaking his head.
Royal Fortune suddenly understood something, still holding the ginkgo nuts in his hands, "Is that so? Will fruits like this grow?"
"Of course not, those are fruit trees, apples, pears, loquats, mangoes and so on." Huang Chen shook his head.
Royal Fortune's face showed an even more shocked expression, "Those fruits, they actually grew on fruit trees?"
She muttered to herself, but then looked at the ginkgo in her hand, "In other words, this is also a kind of fruit."
As she spoke, she pinched a ginkgo nut with her slender fingers, as if she wanted to put it in her mouth.
New Jersey looked surprised and asked, "Is this edible? I never knew that."
"Of course not!" Huang Chen knocked the ginkgo nuts out of the girl's hand and pinched Royal Wealth's little face helplessly.
Then he explained, "This is similar to a walnut. The outer layer is inedible."
Royal Fortune was embarrassed at first, but after hearing Huang Chen's explanation, he suddenly understood, "Walnuts. The kernel inside is edible."
"Not really. The nuts inside are usually used as medicinal ingredients or ingredients for stewing soup. They are rarely eaten directly." Huang Chen explained helplessly.
He spread his hands and said, "If Yixian was still in the port area, you could bring some back and ask her to help you deal with it. But she's not here now, so there's nothing I can do."
"Oh, I see." Royal Fortune immediately revealed a look of great regret.
Huang Chen smiled and rubbed the girl's head. "Alright, let's go find Musashi quickly. At this time, maybe the dean will treat us to lunch."
Hearing this, Royal Fortune's eyes lit up immediately. He threw away the white fruit in his hand and took Huang Chen's arm with a smile, "Woohoo! Let's get going quickly, Boss!"
Chapter 938 Dean
Royal Fortune was jumping in front, and Huang Chen and New Jersey's pace unconsciously quickened.
In less than ten minutes, we walked from the dormitory area lined with ginkgo trees to the vicinity of the teaching building.
It was almost time for the get out of class to end when groups of commanders came out of the classroom with their ship girls, making a lot of noise.
New Jersey had only been away for over a month, so naturally, many of the ship girls still knew this former deputy director of the battleship department.
Some pretty girls blinked in surprise, then came forward to greet them, and New Jersey naturally responded with a smile.
What Huang Chen didn't expect was that Royal Fortune actually had some ship girl friends.
Moreover, from the way they came forward to greet him, they seemed well-behaved and quiet, and did not seem like the bad friends that Huang Chen had expected.
As for Huang Chen, he naturally didn't have any familiar friends, but he still received admiring and envious glances from many commander trainees along the way.
The three of them quickly walked to the agreed location and soon saw the tall Musashi sitting on a bench by the gate, listening to a blue-haired girl saying something.
Huang Chen showed a curious look. Could that be the dean?
"Musashi-sensei!"
Even from a distance, Royal Wealth greeted him excitedly.
Hearing this, Musashi, who was sitting on the bench, naturally turned around and nodded slightly, and the blue-haired girl also waved with a smile on her face.
New Jersey also smiled and greeted, but suddenly looked at the blue-haired girl in surprise, "St. Louis!"
"Who? Your dean?" Huang Chen asked curiously.
New Jersey immediately shook his head. "How could Honey forget about St. Louis? The St. Louis who still has connections with our port area? Wasn't she invited to the last event? But she didn't come."
After hearing what the girl said, Huang Chen suddenly remembered. It was not that he was forgetful, but that St. Louis’ presence was indeed too low.
I helped the port area a lot in the beginning, but it was of no use, and we almost lost contact afterwards.
I had planned to take advantage of the event invitation to go to the port to express my gratitude, but I didn’t know that the other party was out for something and didn’t go.
Due to various coincidences, Huang Chen and this girl, who was said to be an old friend from Hong Kong, had never met each other.
It's normal not to recognize it.
He did not recognize St. Louis, but St. Louis recognized him. The blue-haired girl, wearing a simple dress with her hair tied around her shoulders, came forward with a smile, stretched out her hand and said:
"Hello, Commander Huang Chen! It's been a long time since we last met."
"Yeah." Huang Chen shook the girl's hand. Although he didn't have any real feelings for this old friend, he was deeply impressed by the other party's initial help.
Cross-regional communications, whether by fax or telegram, are not cheap and are quite troublesome. St. Louis has helped us many times. Even if we were not friends before, we are friends now.
"I didn't get the invitation last time, but I finally got to meet you this time. I must treat you to a meal to thank you later."
He chuckled and said, Royal Wealth's face suddenly changed. He leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Boss, didn't you say that Mr. Musashi would treat us?"
The girl probably thought her whisper was discreet enough, but in this situation, who among the people present could not hear it?
An awkward smile suddenly appeared on Huang Chen's face, but Musashi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Alright, I'll treat you later. I just hope Commander Huang Chen doesn't take St. Louis back after the event."
The smile on Huang Chen's face suddenly became even more awkward, but St. Louis nodded with a rather inexplicable meaning, "Qianwei has been working at the headquarters for a long time, but it is indeed a bit unexpected that she would join your port district so soon."
"This, actually, I didn't expect it either." Huang Chen spread his hands.
Musashi chuckled, stood up and adjusted the hem of her skirt, then said with a smile, "Let's not talk too much. The dean is still waiting upstairs. Commander Huang Chen, please follow me."
Hearing this, Huang Chen was suddenly alert. After waiting for so long, the key point finally came.
He looked back at New Jersey and Royal Fortune, then followed Musashi.
This is a simple office building with no decorations inside, but it is quite quiet, with only the sound of a few people's footsteps, some fast and some slow, echoing.
After climbing to the third floor, Musashi quickly walked to a reception room and stopped. Without knocking on the door, he pushed it open and walked in.
The reception room is not big, but its layout and decoration are quite gentle, giving people a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
On the left was a row of black leather sofas. A girl with long silver hair was sitting on one of them. She raised her cup towards Huang Chen and said, "Long time no see, Huang Chen."
Hearing this, Huang Chen immediately looked at New Jersey beside him, only to see that the girl also had a confused look on her face.
"Well, hello, Dean."
He didn't hesitate too much. He wasn't here to be tortured, so there was no need to hesitate too much. He just walked up and sat opposite the dean.
The latter chuckled and slowly pushed a cup of black tea over. "I'm so sorry to bother you. I specially invited Commander Huang Chen to come here."
"It's okay, Dean." Huang Chen took it, but he was a little confused. What kind of ship's name is this Dean's ship girl?
In fact, he had been wondering about this question from the very beginning. Huang Chen now is not as ignorant as he was in the past.
At least from the perspective of identifying ship names, Huang Chen can be considered outstanding and very powerful.
Walking down the street, he could accurately recognize the name of any ten ship girls he picked, but when facing the academy president, he had no idea at all.
Judging from her figure, she is a little petite, with silver hair, blue eyes, and waist-length hair. She looks a bit like a destroyer or a light cruiser, but she could also be a loli like Nagato.
Huang Chen was confused, but suddenly heard the other party chuckle and say, "There's no need to call me Dean, just call me Perret."
"Peret..." Huang Chenmo pondered the name.
This is undoubtedly the name the academy president gave herself, and as a ship girl, she certainly has this right.
However, when he introduced himself for the first time, he did not mention the name of his ship, which means that the dean did not seem to want to talk about this topic.
Huang Chen nodded slightly. Since the other party didn't want to talk, there was no need for him to continue to worry about it. It was not an important matter.
Perret also smiled and took a sip of her tea, a smile on her delicate face. "Then, let's get straight to the point."
"Commander Huang Chen, could you please go to the front line for a while?"
Hearing this, Huang Chen subconsciously cast his gaze towards Musashi. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean it's related to my disappearance?
Chapter 939 Wormhole? Cooperating with the experiment
Going to the front line. If Huang Chen had known that he was going to talk to the dean about this topic, he would not have come at all.
He stared at Musashi for a while with some resentment, but saw that the latter's expression was also quite strange, as if he was a little surprised.
What happened? She didn’t know before?
Huang Chen turned around and looked at the dean, thinking about how to refuse.
The silver-haired girl at the other end of the coffee table smiled, as if she could see what he was thinking, and said softly, "Commander Huang Chen, don't rush to refuse. It's not too late to make a decision after you hear what I have to say."
After hearing this, Huang Chen decided to wait until the other party finished speaking before refusing.
The dean put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, as if weighing his words, and then slowly said, "I don't mean that I want Commander Huang Chen to go to the front line to fight, but... to visit the front line?"
