Chapter 18: Fear Stems from the Fear of Loss
Since Li Ran and the others left the port, the connection between them and himself was beyond the perception of the Admiral's personal network, and he began to worry at that time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that the rain was getting lighter and the sky was getting darker, Li Ran cooked the meal, but he still felt that the time waiting for them to return to Hong Kong was like a year.
He simply put on his coat and took a few pieces of his own clothes, although he knew that the ship mother was a magical life, but he still did not completely distinguish them from humans, even though it was summer, but the night after the rain would inevitably be a little cold, if they prepared some clothes, they would be able to return to the port and go ashore, they would be able to have more warmth.
Li Ran waited on the shore for a long time, the sea breeze was not beating the rocks on the edge of the island, and the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the leaves came from the woods behind him, he looked at the sea in the distance of the deep-water harbor, but he didn't see them come back for a long time.
Li Ran became more and more worried in his heart, his hand holding the torch tightened, the firelight was blown by the wind, he looked at the fire that seemed to be about to be extinguished in a daze, and sighed, at this moment, there was a bright light flickering on the sea in the distance.
The sea breeze became smaller at this time, the swaying firelight stabilized, and the scorching flame became vigorous again, just like Li Ran's scorching expectation.
Now this expectation finally made Li Ran a little excited, because he saw the four figures that were vaguely visible in those bright places, rushing towards his position.
Li Ran looked at the suitcase at his feet, he shook the torch, then squatted down, took the suitcase, and walked up to the highest cliff on the edge of the deep-water harbor, he knew that the people who sailed far away needed the guidance of the lighthouse when they returned to the port, and he was going to be their lighthouse now, guiding them to return to the port safely.
Bismarck watched his admiral shake his torch there, and the German cat felt a strange feeling in his heart, so warm that the resolute soldier's eyes couldn't help but feel a little astringent.
And Lexington looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer, she remembered the abandoned warehouse, her own Admiral was full of apologies and sorry, that was the first time she had been truly respected by the Admiral for so many years, although many Admirals wanted to fish her out, but as a ship girl, she was delicate, she could only see possession from the eyes of those people, and saw that they only rose to desire because the aircraft carrier was a powerful weapon, and their respect was based on reverence for their own strength.
Only Li Ran, the admiral who suddenly appeared, gave Lexington a completely different feeling, the respect and admiration in her heart, as well as his tenderness for fireflies like a brother, and his love for Pinghai like a father, these are all valuable qualities that she has been a wandering ship mother for so many years.
"Sisters, don't keep the Admiral waiting. The sea breeze ruffled Lexington's long flaxen hair, and she wiped the warmth from the corners of her eyes, her voice full of urgency.
Ping Hai watched Lexington, who was the flagship, rush out first, but she knew that the aircraft carrier had no night combat capability, although it was close to the port area, but as a frigate, she still followed as soon as possible.
Bismarck followed.
The fireflies were very happy, looking at their admirals as if they were fireflies, shiny, she was the fastest, rushed to the front, and shouted:
"Let the fireflies clear the way for everyone, target the port area!
The three girls were infected by the shouts of the fireflies, and they said in unison:
"Target port area! First Fleet advances!"
In about ten minutes, Lexington and the others sailed into the deep-water harbor, and the fireflies took the lead in going ashore and retracted the ship's load, she looked at Li Ran who came over, and a heroic head hammer crashed over, but this time she controlled the force.
Li Ran knew that the fireflies would be like this, he was ready to be hit, but this time the fireflies were surprisingly gentle, she hugged Li Ran's waist tightly, and said coquettishly:
"Admiral, Viceroy, hug. ”
Li Ran was almost half cute, she put down the suitcase and torch, hugged the firefly, and kissed her cheek dotingly:
"Are there any injuries?"
"No, fireflies are very powerful, so they won't get hurt!" The fireflies rubbed on Li Ran's cheeks, feeling that the stubble was a little prickly, and she pouted:
"It's time for the Admiral to shave. ”
Li Ran lifted her high, and then hugged her and shook her around. The fireflies let out a crisp laugh.
Seeing Lexington and the others coming, Li Ran put down the fireflies, and at this time, there were thousands of words of concern, but there was only one sentence left on his lips:
"It's good to be back, that's good, that's good. ”
Lexington instantly felt that her tear ducts were about to go out of control, but as the flagship of the Commander's First Fleet, she couldn't lose control of her emotions at such a time, she showed a charming smile, gathered her hair in her ear that was blown by the sea breeze, and said softly:
"The First Fleet has returned from its mission, worrying the Admiral. ”
Bismarck's face softened, she straightened her military uniform, straightened the Iron Cross in front of her, and saw Li Ran's concerned gaze, she returned with a slightly stiff but gentle smile.
Ping Hai was still full of vitality, she saw Li Ran, and did not throw herself into Li Ran's arms at the firefly, but said:
"Admiral, Pinghai misses you. ”
In a word, Li Ran only felt the satisfaction of being an admiral, and it exploded instantly, he looked at these battleship girls, and for the first time in his heart had a sense of identity with this world, he rubbed the head of the firefly, then squatted down, opened the suitcase, and said to the four people:
"It's just raining, I'm afraid it's going to be a little cold at night, so I've prepared some coats for you, so let's put them on first. ”
Lexington watched Li Ran take out a Governor's coat from the suitcase, and her good impression of Li Ran in her heart suddenly rose a lot.
Li Ran handed over the clothes to the hands of the four girls one by one, and when they were handed over to Lexington, Li Ran heard Lexington say mischievously in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Commander, aren't you willing to put it on for me?"
Li Ran looked at his wife's face with a charming charm, he felt that he was a fool if he didn't agree, so he hurriedly and carefully put on a coat for her.
"Admiral. Feeling Li Ran's gentle and considerate movements, Lexington said softly:
"Lexington, really, likes the Commander more and more. ”
Li Ran felt that he was almost uncontrollable, if it weren't for the presence of other ship girls, he vowed to correct his wife on the spot.
However, after the joy of returning to Hong Kong, everyone felt an indescribable happiness, Li Ran led Pinghai fireflies left and right, Lexington and Bismarck followed behind, and the four of them did not speak all the way, and returned to the town guard's mansion.
Li Ran let go of the two small hands, and he said to the four girls:
"Wait a minute, the food might be a little cold, I'll go warm it up. ”
Well, Li Ran is now simply a housewife.
After the meal was hot, Li Ran looked at the four girls but didn't move the chopsticks for the first time, he was a little strange:
"Why do you look at me like that, let's eat. ”
Lexington's face became a little lost, although their expedition this time could be regarded as repelling the deep sea, but the task given to her by Li Ran was not completed, and she said in a somewhat ashamed tone:
"Commander, mission ......"
Li Ran waved his hand, he interrupted Lexington's words, and said:
"Eat first, and then talk about what you have to say. ”
Lexington just nodded, and the four of them began to eat, the atmosphere was a little strange, and the fireflies didn't say anything, which made Li Ran feel a little irritable.
After eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Li Ran walked to the door and looked at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.
"Commander, about this mission, I ......" Lexington hesitated, she saw Bismarck and the others go to take a bath, so she simply took this opportunity to confess to Li Ran about the failure of the surprise attack mission, but unexpectedly, Li Ran turned around and hugged his wife tightly.
Li Ran's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Division...... Commander ......" Lexington's body suddenly stiffened, and she was blushed by Li Ran's bold actions.
Li Ran felt the reassuring aura on Lexington's body, sniffed the smell between her hair, and his voice revealed deep exhaustion:
"Don't talk about the mission, as long as you come back safely, it's more important than anything else. ”
Lexington could feel Li Ran's body trembling, not because of excitement, but because of fear, she could sense that Li Ran was afraid, and she sighed in her heart:
Commander, are you afraid of losing us?
Lexington gently wrapped his hand around Li Ran's back, and responded in a resolute and gentle tone:
"We're not going to leave the commander, never. ”
The moonlight fell between the two embracers, and the warm atmosphere quietly permeated.
