[This is the Qixi Festival, I'm a single dog, I envy Li Ran......]

Xiguang guarded the mansion, the sun was shining, Li Ran had just woken up and looked at the rabbit alarm clock next to the bed, it was already half past nine.
"Today is the Qixi Festival, right? I don't know if there is a Qixi Festival in this world. β
Li Ran got dressed, and before going out, he glanced at the wall calendar on the wall, which was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in this world, but it didn't seem to be marked with the Qixi Festival.
"How long have you been in this world? I wonder if they're okay on Earth?"
Li Ran was a little sad, but then cheered up, although he couldn't go back to Earth, but in this world, he was not too lonely with the ship girls to accompany him.
I went downstairs and found it a little quiet today.
"I forgot that everyone won't be back until tomorrow, so I went out with them to buy if I knew about it. β
Li Ran muttered, and wanted to walk into the kitchen, but when he passed by the dining table, he saw a small note:
"Admiral, breakfast is ready. β
The handwriting of Pinghai is very legible, and there is a smiling face painted on the back, which makes Li Ran feel a little warm.
"However, why didn't this little girl call me today?"
Li Ran scratched his head, it was the first time he slept so late, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The town guard mansion was now empty, and his heart was a little empty, and Bismarck was also far away, and he suddenly felt that he would feel so lonely when the ship's girls were not there.
After breakfast, he put away the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to go out for a walk, and as soon as he went out, he saw some beautiful ribbons hanging everywhere.
"Huh?"
Li Ran looked at the colorful flags hanging on the Xiguang Triumph Avenue, but he didn't see the ship's girls.
For the first time, he experienced walking around the town guard house alone, and it felt a little strange.
Along the way, I also saw some speakers that were placed on both sides of the street from time to time, and I don't know what they were used for.
As he walked, he unconsciously came to the base of the abandoned tower on the east coast.
The sun wasn't too bright today, and he squinted his eyes and sat on the base of the tower looking at the sea in the distance.
If this is the time in normal times, the eastern wharf exercise ground opposite Taki should be the destroyers training.
However, today everyone went out, and he suddenly regretted that he had agreed to let them go out yesterday to buy.
"It turns out that a person is so difficult, I really don't know if I hadn't met fireflies and Pinghai at the beginning, what would have happened to me now, I should have been taken away by wild beasts. β
Li Ran thought so, and then Yang Tang was on the base of the tower, squinting at the blue sky, and a few white clouds drifted by.
It was the first time he had enjoyed himself alone, and he felt as if he were still on Earth.
"I really hope it's a dream, but I really don't want it to be just a dream. β
Li Ran muttered to himself, stretched out his hand as if to grasp the blue sky in the palm of his hand, through the gap between his fingers, the scenes of getting along with the ship girls appeared in his mind, and then he smiled:
"It's a blessing to meet them. β
At this moment, a melodious and melodious song came from the depths of the forest.
"The sound of the water is clear, and there are people singing wherever they flow
It's just a song, and only Jiang Feng responds to it
From here, I watched the fishing fires on the water
A little swaying, but you can't touch it
Sink in the twinkling pupils of the ......"
"This "Haiyan River Qing"? This voice doesn't look like Quincy, I don't seem to have taught anyone else except for the song given to Quincy, so who is it?"
Li Ran was a little strange, but he had no intention of getting up, his singing voice was clear, which made him feel very comfortable, he had always liked this song, so he memorized the lyrics.
The singing came from far to near, Li Ran was about to fall asleep in a daze, I have to say that occasionally a person would be so stunned quietly, not thinking about how to fight against the deep sea, not thinking about how to mediate with the maritime merchants, not thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the governors, just staying quietly for a while, which made him feel sincerely rare.
Although he is very happy to be with the ship's mother, he always has a trace of guilt about his identity as a traverser.
This is a secret in Li Ran's heart, a secret that no one can share.
This feeling made Li Ran really feel that he was alive, and sometimes made him feel that maybe when he opened his eyes again, all this was a dream.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the singing stop, and only then did he react, the other party should have finished singing.
"But who is it? Didn't they all say that it was a holiday, and there shouldn't be anyone on the island. β
Li Ran frowned, yesterday he gave an order, today all the shipwives must have a holiday, don't worry about the safety on the island for the time being, the goblins' shore defense facilities are ready, so it is easy to say that Lexington and the others agreed to come down, but there are still people who don't listen to the order?
Li Ran reacted immediately, showing a self-deprecating smile, why would he deliberately support everyone so deliberately?
Sure enough, I'm still very concerned about this day.
The seventh day of the seventh month of July is not only the Qixi Festival, but also my birthday.
"Hey......"
Li Ran felt a little lonely, he sat up, and then looked at the sea in the distance, a few seagulls skimmed the ocean at low altitude.
"Guess who I am?"
Li Ran felt that his eyes were gently covered by a pair of small hands, and the voice was soft and soft, he was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.
"Pinghai?"
"Admiral, what do you want?"
Ping Hai let go of his hand, and then sat down beside Li Ran.
"How do you ......"
Li Ran wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Pinghai showed a slightly lonely expression, he swallowed back the accusatory words.
"Now, Admiral, you're homesick, I know. β
Ping Hai's words made Li Ran feel a slight tremor in his heart.
"Ah, I'm a little homesick, today is the seventh day of the seventh month of July, probably they didn't even notice it. β
"Stupid Admiral, if it weren't for Sister Yixian's words, I wouldn't know. β
"Yixian?" Li Ran was stunned, then looked at Ping Hai's side face, and found that Ping Hai today was wearing the ship girl dress before her transformation, he felt a little nostalgic, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone:
"It's been almost two years. β
"Admiral, you deliberately let everyone have a holiday last night, otherwise we don't have a holiday, and we don't need a holiday, and we don't usually have too many things in the port area, and we don't need a holiday on weekends. β
"Is it seen?" Li Ran smiled wryly, and he looked at the sea in a daze.
"Now, Admiral, did you like that song?"
"yes, I like it. β
"Oh, she gave it to me, she said it, this song was written to us by the Admiral, is that right?"
Pinghai's voice weakened, and she said in a voice like a mosquito.
"Yes, "Haiyan River Qing", this song is written for you. β
Li Ran could only admit it a little cheekily, although it was a bit shameless to plagiarize other people's lyrics when he arrived in another world, but at this time, he couldn't say that he was a traverser, that would scare Pinghai.
"Is Haiyan River Qing"?" Pinghai showed a trace of sadness in the depths of her eyes, and she murmured:
"Admiral, do you know? The Yangtze River in my memory is a nightmare. β
Ping Hai felt a little frightened, the memory of the warship is not only a kind of wealth they are born with, but also a burden for them, because not all the memories of the warship are accompanied by glory.
"Pinghai, I remember what I told you, I will definitely help you realize your naval dream, I will!"
"Admiral, are you going to leave us one day? β
Ping Hai's words seemed to have a deep meaning, which made Li Ran's body stiffen slightly, and he asked with a slightly weak heart:
"Why do you say that?"
"I know that Sister Helena and the Admiral seem to have known each other for a long time, but Sister Helena doesn't know it, she sometimes says things about the Admiral, some very strange things. β
"Helena?" Li Ran smiled bitterly, his feelings for this ship girl were complicated, but when Ping Hai said these words at this time, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Do you want to confess?
At this moment, Pinghai continued to say to himself:
"It's okay, Admiral, I know everyone has little secrets, it's just ...... Just ......"
As Ping Hai spoke, he felt his tears running out of his eyes.
"Pinghai, don't cry......"
Pinghai raised his head, and looked at Li Ran with a rainy face:
"Admiral, don't go, okay? Everyone said that the Admiral had separated everyone because the Admiral was going to another world, and I didn't believe it, so I sneaked back, and I knew the Admiral wouldn't abandon us, right?"
Li Ran was stunned, he felt a slight pain in his heart, could it be that they all noticed something from Helena?
Or are you acting too deliberately?
It's just that the decision she made last night was just to give her ship girls a holiday, and on her birthday, he wanted everyone to be happy, no need to be extravagant, and didn't want them to worry, that's all.
As for going back to the original world, he did have illusions before, but now that it has been nearly two years, he has slowly realized that he may not be able to go back, so he has lightened his mind.
It's just that he didn't expect Pinghai's mind to be so delicate, he smiled bitterly, and then reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes:
"Don't cry, I won't leave, don't think about it. β
Ping Hai choked, then looked at Li Ran pitifully, and asked again:
"Really?"
"Really, pull the hook, I just wanted to give you a holiday, after all, today is my birthday, I don't want everyone to care too much about this day, so I found a reason to let you go out and have fun, I didn't expect it to cause you such trouble, I'm sorry. β
"Why, Admiral? Isn't it good for everyone to celebrate their birthdays together?"
"Today is Tanabata, Bismarck is not here, I always feel weird, it's obviously that kind of relationship, but, well, don't talk about it, she's busy. β
Pinghai heard Li Ran mention Bismarck's name again, she felt a little lost in her heart, and said in a low tone:
"Admiral, can't Pinghai accompany you?"
"That's not what I mean, in fact, I've thought about telling you, but aren't you all busy with the expedition to the unknown sea lately? β
"Stupid Admiral, who do you think got the decoration of the town guard's mansion?"
"Huh?" Li Ran was stunned, and then looked at Ping Hai and hugged himself tightly in a huff.
Immediately afterward, he saw two little heads poking out on the sea not far away, U47 and U81, each with a video camera in their hands, and then grimacing at himself:
"Come out, everyone, today is really a very important day. β
The submariners' words made Li Ran stunned, and then he watched Ping Hai raise his head from his arms and kiss him lightly on the face:
"Admiral, happy birthday, happy Tanabata, you're not alone, so don't find such a lame reason to support everyone in the future. β
Ping Hai said, his cheeks flushed, and then he left as if he had fled.
Li Ran touched his cheeks, and then looked at the song "Haiyan River Qing" that came from the forest, he turned around and watched Pinghai run back into the formation, all the ship girls were dressed up, looking at themselves with a smile.
The melodious singing floated in every corner of Twilight Island, everyone sang in unison, Yixian wore a red cheongsam, fluttered forward, and then said softly but firmly:
"Admiral, welcome home!"
Li Ran was stunned, this sentence made his heart warm slightly, he stood up, and then felt that he was no longer alone.
This is the first Qixi Festival in another world, and it is also my first birthday, so I really spent it with everyone.
Li Ran thought, he walked down from under the tower, and then watched the fireflies fly over, he picked up the little one, and couldn't help but sing along with the girls' songs.
Yixian unconsciously walked to Li Ran's side, and she said softly to Li Ran:
"Admiral, may this ocean be cleared as soon as possible. β
"Well, there will be a day, aren't we working towards that day?" Li Ran nodded, he showed a confident smile, raised his head to look at the blue sky, and muttered:
"There will be a day when ......"
