"Prince of Wales, call it so." Jiqi doesn't know what to call the girl in front of him.,Call her Wales.,It seems that the intimacy hasn't reached that level.,Add the prince later.,And it seems to be raw.,So let's ask my opinion.。

"Just call me Wales, Commander." The girl replied in the affirmative.

"That, you can just call me Admiral, Commander, I'm not qualified enough, I've just graduated, and I don't have any experience in commanding operations."

"And what are we going to do next, Admiral?" Wales looked at Jiji.

"Tomorrow is the time to choose the town guard's mansion, and I don't know what to do today," Jiqi said after a moment's thought, "but it's already afternoon, or you can finish dinner in the academy's cafeteria." ”

"And you, Admiral, will you go to the cafeteria with me?" Wales asked, not adding himself to the answer.

"I," said Jiqi, who was a little at a loss, actually wanted to go back to his home in the slums to pack his belongings and take the ferry with Wales to his town guard tomorrow. But, to him, Wales is like an angel who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and the place where he lives is a filthy slum, a place where angels do not and should not go. Maybe it's the desire to show in his heart, Jiqi doesn't want the beautiful girl in front of him to know that he is poor, so poor that he may not be able to support her, just like the young man always likes to show his best side in front of the goddess, even if he has no money, he will die. The same is true of Giqi, who does not want Wales to know what kind of existence he lives in.

"Won't the Admiral go to the cafeteria with me?" Wales frowned slightly, she clearly felt that the teenager in front of her seemed to be hiding something, she didn't like to have anything hidden from each other, especially the partners who would have to fight side by side in the future. "And where is the Admiral going?" Wales pressed again.

"Go home and pack your bags." Jiqi hung his head and whispered. "I don't want you to go there, it's not where you should be."

"There? Does it refer to the Admiral's house? Why can't I go? "Wales is curious.

"It's a slum, it's dirty, and if you go there, you're going to get your clothes dirty. And it's a bad environment, and I don't want you to see that. Ji Qi whispered, he knew that Wales would not mind in the slightest, although she did not say it, Ji Qi could feel it. Still, he didn't want Wales to see such dilapidated houses and smelling ravines. How he wished that he could be like the others in the academy, with a magnificent villa and a huge house. So that he can proudly bring his shipwreck home and proudly say to her, this is my home, where we live.

However, he had nothing, only a shabby light rain that did not shelter from the wind and rain, and it was dark inside, and it looked dim with a kerosene lamp, and there was a strange musty smell, and such an environment would make anyone feel uncomfortable, let alone stay there for one night. Besides, Wales and I have known each other for less than an hour, so why should people put up with such a harsh environment for you? Thinking of this episode, Qi clenched his fists slightly, raised his head, tears flashed in his eyes, and his voice was a little choked. "Well, Wales, you're still staying at the academy for one night, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. If you eat, the cafeteria is provided to the ship's mother for free, and I will let the principal arrange it for you, so you don't have to worry about this. ”

"Why? Why should I be left here alone, why can't I go home with you, Admiral? "Wales is like a naïve child, reluctant to ask questions. She's just a ship girl who has just been built, and she can't understand the complex feelings of human beings, and even though she's a ship girl with a high rarity, she still can't understand why the Admiral made her here.

"Because he's scared as a coward." Just as Jiqi wanted to refuse, an old voice came from behind him, sonorous and powerful, faintly burning with anger.

Ji Qi turned around and found that it was the headmaster in a navy uniform who appeared behind him, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Headmaster, why are you here?"

"Come and see you coward." The old man said angrily that when he heard the conversation between the two, he was angry. He had never seen such a timid person, he didn't even have the courage to take his ship's mother home, and he wanted to let his ship's mother spend the night alone, where was there such a commander.

Bypassing the prayers, the old man walked up to Wales and made a standard English gentleman's salute, "Hello Your Excellency Prince of Wales, I am the headmaster of this college, and I want to say a few words to your admiral alone, do you think it's okay?" ”

Wales looked into the old man's eyes, not sensing any malice, and nodded in agreement with his request. Put away the ship's suit and go to the bench in the shade of a tree in the distance to sit down, to avoid the conversation between the two.

When the old man saw Wales walking away, he looked back at Jiqi and said in a serious tone, as if the commander was teaching the disobedient soldiers. "Jiqi, what are you afraid of? Afraid that she will leave you after seeing the environment you live in, or you have never regarded her as your ship's mother in your heart, your partner who will fight side by side in the future! Jiqi, now you disappoint me very much, when you walked on the stage of the ceremony, I saw in your eyes that a NO.1 should be confident, but now I see something, I see a coward who ran away, if I don't come, I think you really plan to leave Wales alone in the academy, and run back to the slums to cry bitterly! ”

"Headmaster, I'm sorry." Jiqi lowered his head, not daring to face the angry old man.

"Lift your head up and look at me like a man!" The old man pressed Jiqi's shoulders fiercely, and his eyes seemed to burn with anger. "You're not sorry to me, and you're sorry to Wales, your ship's wife! What's so bad about the slums? Is it like a prison full of heinous criminals? Or a slut with some red apricots out of the wall like a green building? No, it's just your ridiculous self-esteem. I've been following you since the first day of school, because you're the only Admiral from an ordinary background, but you didn't give up on yourself because of the ridicule of others, you took every day of class seriously, and your homework was completed on time, and even the cooking courses that the Admirals didn't want to learn were passed with perfect marks. I know that you are not as weak as you look on the outside, and you have a strong heart, strong enough that you can do everything for the purpose in your heart. But you today, you at this moment, really make me doubt my judgment. Ship girls are not the kind of girls who dislike the rich and poor, they will only admit a commander in their lives, and will not pretend to be with anyone else, whether her commander is a villain or a drunkard, it doesn't matter, as long as he is an admiral, he will not die for a day, and his ship mother will not leave for a day. This can be said to be a kind of foolish loyalty, and it is also a kind of sorrow for the ship's mother. ”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed slightly, and his tone softened, "Do you know how profoundly you will have a bearing on her if you leave Wales today?" ”

Jiqi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"She will doubt herself, wonder if she will not be treated well by the Admiral, and you and her will have a serious estrangement, just like two people with different hearts, even if they fight together, sooner or later they will be destroyed by doubt. This would be fatal for the Admiral and the Ship's Maiden, and for the foreseeable future, I can guarantee that Wales will be killed on the surface of the sea as a result of your bad decision today. "I know it's hard for you to understand what I'm saying now, but you have to remember that you should never hide your ship's wife, tell them what you think in your heart, don't hide it in your heart, that won't do you any good." ”

The old man sighed, took out a golden magnetic card from his arms, and stuffed it into Jiqi's hand.

"Headmaster, what is this?" Ji Qi was a little overwhelmed by the gold card in his hand.

"It's your resource card, the resources allocated by the government will hit your card every month, and you can also exchange money by consuming resources, the ratio is fixed at 1:1000, and this card has the five thousand resources you have allocated this month, make good use of it. By the way, I remember that your cooking skills are full marks, take out some resources from it, and cook a hearty meal for your ship's mother, the battleship likes to eat braised steel cubes the most, this is your specialty. Behave well, boy. Use your craft to firmly grasp the stomach of the shipwives and improve their combat effectiveness, which is also part of the Admiral's duty. The old man patted Jiqi's shoulder vigorously and smiled with relief. Having said all that, I should also go, or your ship's wife will be in a hurry, remember to take Wales home, my school will not take her in. ”

"Got it, Headmaster." Jiqi raised his head and solemnly bowed deeply to the old man, "I will definitely remember what you said, and I will not let you down again." ”

"It's good to know, silly boy, take good care of Wales, she is very strong, destined to shine, don't destroy her in your hands, I won't spare you then!" The old man gave his last words of advice viciously, and turned away without looking back. He knew that Jiqi really figured it out, and would do what he said, and face any difficulties with Wales. Sooner or later, he will grow into the next existence like Xu Kai, after all, he is the second student to graduate with the same full score as Xu Kai.

Jiqi stood still and looked at the back of the departing old man, he took a deep breath and turned to walk towards Wales who were waiting for him. He stretched out his hand to the girl who was sitting on the bench, a little nervous, "Wales, let's go home together!" ”

Wales looked up at the handsome young man in front of him who was still stained with tears, and for some reason, he suddenly smiled happily, and his smile was as bright as a blooming peony. She raised her hand and put it in the boy's palm, tight, not wanting to part.
