128. Talk after night
As a ship's mother, meeting the admiral who takes care of her and getting acquainted with the gentle and generous secretary ship are two happy things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's just that Xianghe's heart doesn't feel happy at this moment, and the blanket on his shoulders still seems to have the breath of a commander, but the pair of vague figures kissing fiercely by the lake not far away make this breath also have a little mockery.
It turned out that she was never the luckiest, it turned out that the scene in front of her was the honeymoon he wanted, and the little fantasy he had always grasped was just a fantasy after all. "Like is like, dislike is dislike?" Shozuru muttered to himself and buried her head in the little world with her arms enclosed on the table, where she could cry without fear that the Admiral would see it.
Tears flowed, and in the darkness, Xianghe remembered all the things Sun Wen had done for himself, from the initial meeting to the later bits and pieces, all the memories of getting along with the admiral slowly came up.
I was once the lucky one, right? Shohe remembered the image of the first time he saw him, waking up from a nightmare in the Admiral's arms, half-kneeling on the reef beach, holding his shoulders and letting himself sit on his lap. At that time, I didn't know why, Xianghe recognized him, just like fate, and he didn't need words to know where the future road was.
"The Battle of the Five Voyages - Xianghe. Huh? Is this the Admiral? We hope to help you in a variety of places. She remembered the smell ever since, a soothing warm smell with a hint of something special.
"Hug" Xianghe muttered to himself, his right hand turned his back, trying to grab Sun Wen's hand like in his memory, but it turned out to be just the blanket with the temperature of his body. "Is it all fake? Admiral. ”
Over there, Sun Wen and Lexington's figures disappeared into the grass under the trees, and Xianghe knew what they were doing, but her sadness was not better, but was calmed down by the crying just now and the happiness that was recalled in her memory. Sun Wen is her admiral, and Lexington is everyone's recognized wife, maybe only the time they spend together is a honeymoon, right?
"If it's fake, then why give me those hesitant gentleness?" Xianghe withdrew her gaze, tears on her face, but a smile on the corner of her mouth. Miss Tachibana from the clothing store said something similar when she helped her change her clothes, right? But the person she said hesitated was not the Admiral, but herself.
That's one of Shozuru's most cherished memories, even if he is submerged in the sea or transformed into the deep sea, he won't forget it, right? The Admiral's warm palms, the scorching gaze he looked at him, and the dress.
"Am I the one who hesitates?" Shozuru stroked her cheek, and the tears were gently wiped away by her, and then she stood up, and just took off her yukata by the window and replaced it with the skirt that hung on the side.
Sun Wen likes her like that, so Xianghe likes to dress like that, otherwise maybe she will be like a family woman in the old days, and devote herself wholeheartedly to her own affairs, right? Just like before, everything was done, until the Admiral disappeared and realized that he had forgotten to apply for reform, the ring of oaths that symbolized everything.
Even if she changes the sea area, even after the Admiral becomes so active, there is still no progress for Xianghe, even if she gets the ring, when she sees the Admiral busy, she will forget about her own affairs, and the Admiral is in her eyes.
"Maybe it's not that I don't care about my own affairs, but like Zuihe said, I'm just a cowardly and hesitant bad ship girl, right?" Xianghe muttered to herself and sat back in the window seat, her mood calmed down, probably no longer able to see the scene of passion, so the cold night gave her more space to think quietly.
Perhaps, as Zuizuru said, if on the day of Minato, he in pajamas did not accompany him to that curry with him, but pressed him down on the refrigerator in the kitchen or on the sofa in the living room to propose to him, maybe he was rejected by the admiral and came back again, or maybe he accepted it wholeheartedly...... No matter what the outcome is, this scene today won't happen to her eyes, right?
Although Shohe has always told himself that cowardice is not a reason to escape. But really when she faced Sun Wen, who was like everything to herself, she faced the pain of failure, the taste that was difficult to erase lightly. She didn't want to and didn't dare to try again!
"This could be my fate, right? Entwined with misfortune but like a fool in pursuit of happiness. Xianghe sighed again, she never thought of asking her admiral for something, but the admiral's kindness to her made her can't help but fantasize about it, and gradually even her heart has to be inched in.
Maybe even Xianghe himself didn't expect that he would feel sad because of Lexington and Sun Wen's affairs, right? "Why, why is this happening? Obviously, I already knew, everyone in the town guard mansion knew, my wife and him would always be the first to get together, but why was it so sad? He muttered to himself, his eyes moistening again.
Raising his hand and rubbing his eyes with his arm without any image, Xianghe forced himself not to think about what had happened these days, not to think about the soft forced marriage in the garden, not to think about Sun Wen's smile at him when he shook the hem of his skirt, and not to think about the "master" that the ghost envoy said in the kitchen with his head down......
Everything in my memory goes back to the original day, after the end of the routine exercise, Xianghe walked alone to the central square of the port area, but saw the person who had been thinking about it for a long time - her admiral.
Although he looked a little embarrassed as he sat on the edge of the pool and looked around, he smiled when he saw himself, a smile that was rare in his memory. She walked up quickly and greeted her admiral, who at once recognized herself, whom she had not seen much before, and who had undergone a remodel.
She couldn't tell which of the conversations she remembered were her fantasies and which were real. She only vividly remembered his gentleness, his kindness, and the way he munched on his food and vaguely complimented him on his cooking...... All of this made her feel as if she was in a dream, and the Admiral, who was no longer cold, made her reluctant to wake up from this dream again. That's why all these extravagant hopes and fantasies have germinated now.
"Maybe I'm asking for too much, right?" Xianghe seemed to have dried up her tears, and the table was wet, but she didn't let the dress on her body be stained in the slightest. Wearing a skirt, he found the glass on the side again, "Admiral, do you like this kind of Xianghe?" She muttered and swung the hem of her skirt and smiled again, "Don't lie to my Admiral, as long as I can stay by your side, it will be my greatest luck, so don't use those things to fool yourself again, you know?" Xianghe! She didn't know if she was saying it to Sun Wen, or to herself in the mirror, but her gentle smile was even bigger, just like when she was holding a bowl in both hands and watching her admiral help her serve curry.
After standing for a while, Shozuru changed into a yukata again, hung his skirt on the hanger, and sat back in his place. Her admiral was sometimes dull, but sometimes very attentive, and Shotsuru didn't want to disturb his honeymoon with Lexington because of his own affairs. After wiping the marks off the table and draping the blanket over her body, she could no longer find the sweet smile she had just now, so she had to bury her face in her arms again and sleep quietly.
……
"Xianghe wake up, wash his face and get ready for breakfast." Sun Wen called softly to wake up Xianghe, there was some insomnia last night, and it was really not very comfortable to sleep on her stomach, so when she got up in the morning, she seemed to have some low blood pressure, and she didn't even hear Sun Wen's voice.
"Ruihe, my sister didn't sleep well, can I go to the refrigerator to find something to eat when I'm hungry?" While scratching his hair with a big grin, Xianghe didn't care about the collar that only the right half was still hanging on his shoulder, and he stepped on his slippers and was about to go out but saw Sun Wen with a smile on his face, "Admiral? Are you back? ”
"I've always been there!" Sun Wen replied weakly, and then reached out to help Xianghe, who walked in front of him, tidy up the messy yukata and said, "Eat out in the morning, I'll wash my face after everything is ready." After saying that, he left, he accompanied Lexington for most of the night yesterday, and now his satisfied wife is still making up for beauty sleep in the carriage, so Sun Wen is also very weak about Xianghe's dream words for no reason.
In the small camp near the lake, Sun Wen had just prepared the fried egg and the bread drizzled with heavy oil, when Xianghe, wearing the long dress he had given him, appeared.
"Admiral, I didn't fall asleep just now, I'm sorry," Xianghe's smile was still soft and weak, and he seemed very affinity, she said that at Sun Wen's invitation, she naturally gathered her skirt and sat on the chair on the side, watching Sun Wen fry those aluminum strips while chewing on the breakfast in her hand.
Sun Wen's hands and feet were very fast, and after a while, he walked to Xianghe's side and sat down with a small plate with fragrant fried aluminum strips, "How is my craftsmanship?" He asked, and Shohe found a relaxed smile.
"Your craftsmanship has always been good, Admiral." Xianghe responded, and then asked with some concern, "It's just that why don't you eat it yourself, Admiral?" As she spoke, she put down her bread and tried to stand up, "If you feel tired, you can cook for me first." Apparently she was thinking about the events of the previous night again.
"That's a real trouble for you." Sun Wen looked at Xianghe who cared about him and didn't refuse, he liked this kind of Xianghe very much, just like he liked everything to his Richelieu, this feeling of being loved by himself would never get tired, "Xianghe, it's good to have you, if I leave you, I don't know what to do." ”
"No, Admiral, I'll always be with you."
"Xianghe, you're too selfless, but sometimes I think it's good!" Sun Wen said and remembered Xianghe's appearance in the clothing store with a red face, and couldn't help laughing.
"Really?" Xianghe froze in place after hearing Sun Wen's words, and after a while, she turned to look at Sun Wen with a smile on her face, and nodded with a soft smile, "Yes, that's fine." ”
"For the sake of being with you, it doesn't hurt to take all of me. Because, you're still there. You're my luck. ”
