Chapter 1100 Forgotten Things
The Cleveland-class apartment is neither too big nor too small, a pure wooden structure located on a lawn by the roadside.
The dormitories of the White Eagle girls are almost all like this, a single-family villa with a small pavilion outside, and then a wide lawn outside.
"By now, my elder sister and the others should have returned."
Columbia walked in front, knocked on the key and opened the door, which made Huang Chen feel a little strange. "Isn't Cleveland coming back at this time?"
"Ahaha, that's how my sister is. She's always busy all day and I don't know what she's busy with."
Columbia muttered a few words and walked inside.
After opening the door, there is a foyer, followed by the living room.
The slightly noisy sound of the TV echoed in the living room. Huang Chen looked over and immediately noticed the red-haired girl sitting on the sofa.
The girl was holding a bowl of ice cream, eating it spoonfully. When she heard the door open, she subconsciously looked towards the door and was a little surprised. "Commander? Why are you here?"
"Well, come and have a free meal. You shouldn't be left without any food for me." Huang Chen joked.
Columbia laughed and said, "Of course I brought the Commander back. Where's my sister? Where is she..."
"The big sister hasn't come back yet." Birmingham shook his head and said, but hurriedly stood up and helped Huang Chen pour tea and drinks. Then he said with a bit of complaint, "You should have told me about this kind of thing earlier. I didn't prepare anything at all."
"It's okay, I'm not here for a big meal." Huang Chen said with a smile.
However, Birmingham was still not reassured. Instead, he pulled Denver to the kitchen again, saying that he had to prepare some things.
Huang Chen tried to persuade her, but the girl didn't listen to him at all, so he had no choice.
I could only sit on the sofa in the living room, eating the ice cream prepared by Birmingham and watching TV.
Why do we prepare ice cream when entertaining guests in the middle of winter?
Huang Chen scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth with some confusion. He subconsciously looked around and observed the structure of the living room.
This seemed to be his first time in the Cleveland-class dormitory, and it was actually not much different from what he had imagined.
The overall style is relatively simple. Apart from the sofa and TV, there are not many other furniture in the living room. The style of the wall paint and lighting is also relatively simple.
"Are you the only ones living here? What about them?"
Huang Chen took a quick look and then asked with some confusion.
"Independence, living in that small building." Columbia slumped on the sofa beside him, as if he was about to shrink, and glanced sideways at a place outside the window.
Huang Chen followed the girl's gaze, passed the large floor-to-ceiling windows and the flat lawn, and saw a two-story villa with the same wooden structure.
They actually live separately... Huang Chen thought so, but heard Columbia murmur jokingly, "Commander, don't be so greedy. You are still here now, so don't think about independence."
"Why do you always say such strange things?" Huang Chen stared at the girl in confusion, but ignored her and continued to watch TV while sitting on the sofa.
A slight noise began to sound in the distance, and Huang Chen recognized it as the voice of Cleveland Jr.
The lecture hall class has ended?
As he thought of this, he heard several footsteps stopping outside the house, followed by the sound of a lock turning.
"Sister, you're back."
Columbia sat aside and waved. She was sitting right in front of the door and saw everyone coming back at a glance.
Upon hearing this, Huang Chen also wanted to stand up and say hello to the girl who had just returned.
However, before he could get up, he heard Montpelier's usual calm voice, "I'm back. I didn't run into the commander again today."
bump into me?
What does it mean?
Huang Chen was subconsciously stunned, and his movement to stand up paused for a moment, then he heard Cleveland's chuckle, "Well, the commander is always very busy at work every day, this is also normal, let's go and check it out tomorrow."
The girl's voice was still as cheerful as ever, but Huang Chen seemed to hear the loneliness beneath her laughter.
He pursed his lips, gave up standing up, and sat back on the sofa, silently glancing at Columbia who was about to say something.
The latter looked embarrassed, but under Huang Chen's gaze, he had to pretend nothing had happened.
The sound of progress approached the living room from the doorway, accompanied by Cleveland's laughter. "That's all for today, Columbia. Why are you so quiet today?"
"Ah, yes, is there?" Columbia glanced at Huang Chen imperceptibly and said somewhat embarrassedly.
Cleveland didn't care much. Before she even answered, he turned around and looked at Montpelier who was still standing at the entrance. "Okay, let's eat. Don't think too much."
However, Montpellier remained standing at the entrance, staring at the ground silently. After a long moment, he slowly said, "I think the commander has forgotten."
Hearing this, Cleveland was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said, "...How is this possible? The Commander has just been busy lately. Okay, don't worry about it."
"Big Sister!" Montpellier shouted, the excitement in her words completely unlike the calm and composed Montpellier. "Big Sister, do you want to give up?"
"Give up..." Cleveland was silent, and this time it lasted even longer than before. "It's not that I want to give up, it's just... the commander doesn't seem to like people like us."
She spoke slowly, her words calm and indifferent, but with an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if she were in despair.
Even Columbia, who was sitting opposite Huang Chen, changed his expression and became much more gloomy.
However, this emotion only lasted for a moment. Just a moment later, Cleveland's confident laughter rang out in the living room again. "Okay, let's eat. I think today's lunch seems to be very good. Um, Columbia, is it really okay for you to eat so much ice cream?"
The girl joked as she leaned over to look at the sofa and saw Huang Chen sitting on it.
In an instant, the smile on Cleveland's face disappeared. She looked at Huang Chen silently, her mouth slightly open, wanting to speak but hesitant. After a moment, she reappeared, a little embarrassed, "Commander, you are here."
"Commander?" Montpellier, who was walking behind, was also surprised.
"Well, I've been here, Cleveland." Huang Chen said slowly, staring at the girl silently, his heart unable to calm down for a while.
Chapter 1101 You What You? You Come Too
Lunch was very sumptuous.
After Birmingham's second preparation, the girl brought out almost all of her specialties.
If time allowed for preparing barbecue dishes, the amount of food on the table would probably have to be doubled.
However, even though the dishes were so sumptuous, the atmosphere at the table was somewhat depressing.
Everyone sat around and didn't talk much. Only little Cleveland was still excited. He used his knife and fork to cut the sausage into small pieces and then stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
"Well, today's weather is very nice, the air is fresh, and the temperature is also very good..."
Columbia tried to break the silence, but after saying a few words, he made the air around him even more silent.
Even little Cleveland noticed something and tilted his head in confusion, asking, "The commander seems unhappy?"
"Really?" Huang Chen smiled and reached out to ruffle the little guy's hair. "I just suddenly thought of something."
"Oh, I see." Little Cleveland nodded in confusion and continued to deal with his meal.
The air around was still so quiet. Everyone slowly finished the food on their plates, bringing lunch to an end.
Columbia stood up first and said, "I'm done eating. I'm leaving first."
She was not used to such a depressing atmosphere, and now that she found an opportunity, she chose to leave.
Huang Chen didn't say anything, just nodded.
After Columbia, Denver and Birmingham immediately stood up and left one after another, followed by the jumping little Cleveland.
Montpellier looked up at the dining table, then pursed his lips and said, "Then I..."
She also wanted to leave, but before she could finish her words, Huang Chen interrupted her, "Montpelier, can you stay for a while after dinner? And Cleveland too."
Cleveland raised his head after hearing this and was silent for a moment. "Okay."
Montpellier said nothing more, sat aside, and waited quietly.
Soon, Huang Chen finished his lunch. He smiled, but seemed silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Several empty plates were quietly placed on the table, still retaining the aroma of food, but no one paid any attention.
Columbia and the others seemed to have completely disappeared. After they went to the kitchen, they never came out again.
After a long while, Huang Chen finally let out a long sigh, looked up at the girl in front of him, and slowly said, "Cleveland..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the girl.
"Commander, I know what you want to say."
Cleveland just looked at him silently, smiling slightly. His smile was still so confident, but it could not hide the loneliness hidden under the confidence.
"It's okay, this is normal. Some things can't be forced."
She said this with a chuckle, as if trying to pretend that she didn't care about these things at all, while Montpellier listened with a silent and even heavy expression.
"No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say that you misunderstood me." Huang Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, this matter..."
When he said this, he hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say.
This matter is indeed his fault.
It was him who forgot.
I had clearly promised Montpellier something like a date voucher, but in the end I completely forgot about it.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said with shame, "I forgot about this."
However, upon hearing this, Cleveland simply smiled and said, "It's okay, Commander, you don't have to compromise just because you're worried about us."
Montpellier was still looking at this side, his face silent and his eyes dim.
"It's really not a compromise. I really forgot. I'm sorry." Huang Chen said with a wry smile.
Actually, this can't be entirely blamed on him.
Things like date exchange vouchers are, after all, in the hands of Montpelier and Cleveland. If they hadn't come to him, he really wouldn't have been able to remember them for a while.
As for why the girl didn't find him... Huang Chen could only think it was bad luck.
"Commander, there's no need to apologize. Let's put it this way. I understand what you mean. Commander, when do you think you should use this exchange voucher..." Cleveland said with a smile, his words were relaxed, as if the matter had already passed.
However, Huang Chen couldn't laugh because the girl still didn't believe it.
It was just because he was the commander that he finally chose to compromise.
So is there still a need for compromise?
He looked up at the girl, but suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he had made a decision, and held Cleveland's little hand with one hand.
The latter was stunned and asked in surprise, "Commander, you..."
However, before the girl could finish her words, Huang Chen kissed her directly, blocking her soft little mouth.
Cleveland's eyes suddenly widened, and his orange pupils almost popped out of their sockets!
Montpellier on the other side was even more shocked, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and even couldn't speak.
After a long time, Huang Chen took a step back and let go of the limp girl, but he turned his gaze directly to Meng Bi who was standing beside him!
"Commander..." Montpellier became a little dazed, staring at Huang Chen blankly. It took him a long time to react, and he said intermittently, "Commander, you..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? Come here too!" Huang Chen said decisively. He took a step forward, hugged the girl in his arms, and kissed her without any hesitation.
Montpellier's eyes were trembling and his silver hair was shaking.
Her eyes were misty, her cheeks were blood red, but her whole body was as soft as cotton. She curled up in Huang Chen's arms, letting him do whatever he wanted.
It was not until a long time later that he let go of her hand.
Montpellier collapsed all of a sudden and lay on the dining table without moving.
Huang Chen also let out a long sigh, turned around to look at Cleveland, who had felt a little better, and asked, "Do you understand now?"
"This..." Cleveland opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Huang Chen immediately smiled and said, "I understand, but it's not enough, right?"
"Enough, enough, Commander, Columbia and the others are still here, this is not good..." Cleveland said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Huang Chen looked towards the kitchen and happened to see a few figures hiding.
He didn't care. He turned around and looked at the delicate Cleveland and Montpelier beside him, and said softly, "So, why so much speculation and compromise? I really like you guys."
"Yeah, I understand." Cleveland nodded, but Montpellier was too embarrassed to say a word.
"I'm glad to know. Let's go." Huang Chen smiled when he heard that, then stood up and stretched.
