Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty: Lin Xian's Request
Li Ran and Helena walked side by side in front, followed by Lin Xian and Galatea, and the two ship girls whispered to the backs of the two people in front.
Galatea whispered to her sister:
"Sister, what do you say is the relationship between Helena's seniors and her seniors?"
"I don't know, why do you care about this?" Lin Xian frowned, and then said in a low voice:
"Don't gossip, it's rude. ”
Galatea stuck out her tongue, then took her sister's arm and whispered coquettishly:
"I'm just curious, after all, Helena was such an excellent person, how could she choose such an ordinary-looking person as the admiral?"
Lin Xian was stunned, and wanted to reprimand her sister, but after thinking about it, it was true that Li Ran looked so-so whether it was her appearance, appearance, or military rank, but the rank of the major general was inevitably inconsistent with the strength of Helena's predecessors, and she was also a little puzzled, but she was not as open-mouthed as her sister, but reprimanded in a low voice:
"This is Helena's predecessor's choice, you can't criticize others behind your back like this in the future, maybe there is something we don't know, I don't hear today's words, you know?"
"Oh. Galatea stuck out her tongue, and then looked at Helena and Li Ran and didn't show too intimacy, which made her very confused, just now when she saw Helena and Li Ran hugging, she thought the two were lovers, so it didn't seem so.
"It's strange, sis. The fire of gossip in Galatea's heart was burning, and she saw that her sister was not really angry, and she was also curious when she thought of her sister, and she continued in a low voice:
"Senior Helena is not Senior Li's wedding ship, you see that they don't even hold hands with each other, it's so strange, doesn't Senior Li like Senior Helena?"
"Uh, this, I should like it, maybe ......" Lin Xian was asked by his sister's question for the first time, there was no way, after all, the mercenary ship girl did not have a commander, and she couldn't experience the feeling of getting along with the commander day and night, and she was very unfamiliar with emotions such as love.
"It's strange, does Senior Li have other wedding ships? I heard from the sisters in the Nanyang Theater that after some admirals have a wedding ship, some will become strict wives, as if to say that the admiral's wedding ship is very jealous or something. Galatea began to talk about the gossip she had heard.
"Ahem......" Lin Xian's face was slightly embarrassed, she pretended to be angry and reached out and flicked her sister's head:
"No gossip, this is a private matter of their predecessors, we are guests, don't be too rude. ”
"It hurts...... Galatea covered her head, and then continued to hold her sister's arm, she knew she couldn't continue, because the town guard had arrived.
"You can sit casually, Helena, you can entertain me, and I will go to the kitchen to prepare some snacks, you should be hungry too." ”
Li Ran said that hunger is a human concept, for the ship girl, in fact, diet is not particularly dependent, they are not like human beings who are in danger of dying if they don't eat or drink water for a few days.
However, in order to save the energy of the body, they usually eat some real food, after all, although their bodies can bear those seemingly small but actually weighing amazing ships, but once they are hit by the deep sea, they will still be injured.
Eating some ordinary food can help their ship outfit avoid too much unnecessary waste of resources.
"Admiral, do you need my help?" Helena looked at Li Ran and yawned, her face was a little haggard, and the bloodshot red in her eyes undoubtedly told her that her Admiral probably didn't sleep all night last night.
"It's okay, you guys sit down first, I can still carry it. ”
Li Ran waved his hand, then walked outside the kitchen, took off the apron hanging on the wall, and walked into the kitchen under Lin Xian's surprised gaze.
"Senior Helena, can Senior Li still cook?" Galatia was a little dumbfounded, the Admiral personally cooked, the four sisters had never seen it when they visited many town guards in the Nanyang War Zone, but all this in front of her subverted her cognition.
"Yes, the Admiral's cooking skills are the best in the port area, and even the skills of Pinghai and Lexington are learned from the Admiral, don't stand, you sit first, I'll go get some black tea, snacks, and the Admiral will be ready soon." ”
"Oh. Galatea's face was incredulous, but looking at her sister's color, she immediately didn't ask much.
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, her sister was usually very arrogant, and sometimes she was open-mouthed, she was very worried that her sister would ask some embarrassing topics after getting acquainted with Helena's seniors, so she dragged her sister's hand and sat down, and then said politely:
"That's hard Helena senior. ”
"It's okay, there is some chaos in our house, don't be surprised, by the way, you don't have to be too restrained, we don't have so many rules in the town's guard house, and the admiral is not the kind of person who is very rigid. ”
Helena looked at Lin Xian's somewhat restrained appearance, she smiled, then picked up the teapot and walked to the water dispenser.
"Helena, I heard what you said. Li Ran was in the kitchen, listening to Helena's words, he felt relieved, and his mood was much better, although he was choked by the deep sea raid last night, but fortunately, Mishima had also lifted the crisis, he fiddled with flour at this time, and then jokingly said to Helena outside the living room.
Helena continued while pumping water:
"You see, Admiral, he's not so serious and rigid. ”
Li Ran shrugged his shoulders, while Lin Xian and Galatia looked at the conversation between these two people without too many scruples, and the doubts in their hearts deepened.
Galatea's eyes were rolling, and while Helena had her back to them, she scanned around the living room, and then saw the rectangular dining table, with the charts and some paperwork that had not yet had time to be put away, and she was a little curious:
"Helena-senpai, what's on the dinner table?"
Lin Xian wanted to stop it too late, this question was a bit rude, after all, they were guests, and some of the things in the host's house, especially those things on the table, were all related to the military aspect of the town guard mansion, she pulled her sister's hand, and then hurriedly said:
"Don't be surprised seniors, my sister didn't have the heart to ask. ”
"It's fine. Helena filled the teapot with hot water, then looked back at the charts and mapping tools on the table, and at the scattered paperwork, and said as she walked with the teapot:
"Those should have been the places where the Admirals had their battle meeting last night, you can take a look at them, there aren't too many secrets anyway. ”
Helena said, then her voice was a little louder, and she shouted to Li Ran in the kitchen:
"Admiral, it shouldn't hurt to show Lin Xian and them the charts, right?"
Li Ran kneaded the flour into a dough at this time, and then pinched the shape of some cute little animals, the snack he wanted to make was cookies, and when he heard Helena's words, the movements in his hands did not stop, and he subconsciously replied:
"It's okay, it's okay if helena is a friend. ”
Helena got a reply, and then said to Lin Xian and Galatea:
"The Admiral has given permission, so feel free to see as you please. ”
Lin Xian watched her sister get up impatiently and walked to the dining table, she was hindered by the lady's reserve, she could only smile apologetically at Helena, who was sitting on the main seat opposite her:
"My second sister is so rude. ”
"It's okay, everyone has to fight with the deep sea, and it's inevitable to be interested in military things, especially nautical charts, I think this should be what makes my sister curious. ”
"Well, don't hide it from our predecessors, when we were hired ship girls, the commission we earned actually couldn't buy decent charts, which are strictly controlled commodities, and even if you have money, you can't buy them. ”
"I see, you told me another very important piece of information, so I'll ask the Admiral for you later, and see if I can get you some spare charts, by the way, if you come here this time, when will you return to the Nanyang Theater? Or do you want to go to other places to see?"
Helena had heard that Lin Xian wanted to come to her own port area when she left the Nanyang Theater, but after all, they should also have their own places to go, so she took advantage of this free time to express her doubts.
"Senpai, if you can, can you let us stay in your port area for a while, I want to train with my seniors, so that I can better protect my sisters in the future. Although Lin Xian felt a little embarrassed, after a battle with Helena, she knew that as light cruiser mothers, if they wanted to protect themselves on the ocean, in addition to improving their strength, they would find a commander like Helena.
However, Lin Xian didn't want to find the Admiral, and the four sisters had no intention of looking for the Admiral for the time being, so Lin Xian thought about it again and again, and could only think of such a compromise solution.
Helena thought for a while, and then thought that her port area happened to be short of manpower now, so she made Lin Xian a cup of hill black tea, and then said:
"Of course you're welcome, by the way, I can help you and the Admiral, and then you can also accept our employment as a mercenary shipwive, and it just so happens that the three islands under the jurisdiction of our port area have recently increased the number of foreign merchants, and you can also accept some commissions.
As for the supply of resources, if you don't dislike it, you can go to any dock on our Dawn Island, of course, it's not free, but it will be lower than other places, and you can use it at any time to repair the dock, just say it to me and the other sisters, what do you think?"
Lin Xian heard Helena say this, she was a little moved in her heart, after all, her request was a little too much, but she didn't expect Helena to propose such a good plan to her, she didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, she just got up and respectfully did a noble etiquette of country E:
"Then thank you Helena senior, Lin Xian is here to express my highest respect to you and your Admiral on behalf of the K Fleet. ”
Helena looked at Lin Xian who was so serious, a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, and she saw the shadow of her sister Brooklyn from Lin Xian.
I thought to myself, maybe everyone in the world is like this.
Helena got up lightly, walked to Lin Xian's side, and then motioned for her to raise her head slightly, and then pretended to be a little angry and said:
"Since you all call me senior, I have to take care of it, I'll be angry if I'm so polite. ”
"Senior......" Lin Xian muttered, and then watched Helena sit down holding her hand, she reacted, and wanted to thank Xie again.
"You're welcome, or I'll be angry. ”
Helena gently covered Lin Xian's mouth, and then looked out the window:
"You are an older sister, and if you can think so much about them, what reason do I have to refuse your request. ”
Lin Xian was stunned, and then looked at Helena's side face, she had more admiration than admiration at this time.
