Chapter 197: The Shadow Hiding Behind

Couple coffee shop in front of the door

Bismarck stood still and refused to leave, his slightly drooping face showing a shy blush, burning like an autumn maple leaf, burning fiercely in the breeze. She stirred her restless fingers vigorously, her red eyes revealing hesitation.

She now wanted to follow the plan for the next contact, which was to go hand in hand with the commander to buy New Year's gifts. This idea has been born for a long time, but until now it is still hesitant and has not been spoken.

"What's wrong, Bismarck?" Jiqi was a little puzzled, Bismarck had become very strange since he had just drunk coffee, and he seemed to have something to say to himself, but he never said it.

"Commander, because...... It's just the two of us today. Bismarck was desperately searching for words in her heart, trying to find a suitable reason for Jiqi to hold hands with her, although she didn't know what it meant, but her pounding heart seemed to be faintly expectant.

"Yes, because I believed in Bismarck, I decided to let you come out with me." Before that, Jiqi actually wanted Lexington to be with him, but his wife wanted him to be with Bismarck, because she hoped that she could take good care of the new ship's mother, so she hoped that Bismarck would be the candidate for this time instead of her.

In addition, Jiqi liked Bismarck's style of doing things, so he agreed to Lexington's request.

"And after the last deep-sea incident, I now have the responsibility of protecting the commander." Bismarck went on to say that now she had found a valid reason to say what she wanted.

"Yes, now Bismarck has the responsibility to protect me." Jiqi nodded in the affirmative.

"So in order to protect the absolute safety of the commander, I hope that the commander will have a request for further contact with me." Bismarck raised his head and said loudly, with righteous words in his tone.

"A closer touch? What is that? Jiqi looked at the girl with a serious expression and asked curiously.

"I hope the commander will be able to ...... in the rest of his journey Be able to hold my hand so that I am capable enough to protect the commander. Bismarck blushed and stretched out his hand slightly, waiting for an answer.

I hope that everything will go as smoothly as Tirbitz said, so that my relationship with the commander will be one step closer. She whispered in her heart, silently expecting what would happen next.

Jiqi smiled and looked at the girl who was too shy to close her eyes, and gently put her palm into the palm of the other's hand. "Is that okay? Bismarck? He felt the slight tremor in the girl's palm, and held her little hand hard, and each other's body temperature was conveyed to each other through the palm of his hand.

Maybe this is Bismarck's soft side, he looked at the girl who was too shy to look up, and whispered in his heart.

"Well," Bismarck nodded with a blushing face, this was the first intimate contact between her and Jiqi, although it was just holding hands and walking together, but it was also a huge breakthrough for this female man who had only known about fighting before. "That way I'll be able to better protect the Commander." She whispered, her wandering eyes staring left and right, but she didn't dare to look at Jiqi around her, she only dared to peek with the afterglow of her eyes, just like the shy girl, she didn't have the demeanor of the battlefield at all.

"Well, with Bismarck's protection, I'm relieved." Jiqi knew that Bismarck was in a shy state now, so he could only follow her words. If you say it directly, I'm afraid that this meritorious ship girl on the battlefield will be annoyed and angry, just like Wales who just started to contact him, he recalled the shy girl at the beginning, looked at Bismarck next to him who pretended not to pay attention to him, shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Such a Bismarck is the real softness under her strong appearance. Before, this ship girl who condensed the crystallization of German science and technology was made the flagship killer on the battlefield by countless admirals, and the powerful ship girl who could fight hard with the deep-sea flagship, everyone thought she was the Valkyrie on the battlefield, but Jiqi now knew that even the Valkyrie had a soft back, and she was shy.

I hope I can protect this group of lovely girls forever, he sighed slightly and said vigorously.

The girl in the shabby admiral uniform stood under the tree in a daze, looking at the young girl holding hands in front of her in a daze, her clear eyes were full of longing and a touch of sadness, like a lonely walker in the vast sea, and her figure was full of endless loneliness.

Although she said to herself that she wanted to be the shadow of Jiqi, she still couldn't suppress the expectations in her heart for that young man. Although she knew that she was still a deep sea patrol Atago, she had always had an infinite longing for Jiqi as an admiral.

Every time she sees the girls staying next to that figure, looking at the smiles on their faces, Atago always fantasizes in her heart how happy she would be if that person was herself, although she doesn't know what happiness is, but she has always heard people use this word to describe how the couple felt before, and she is just a poor bystander and crush, and she has no qualifications to appear in front of each other and become the girl who can stay by his side.

She sighed slightly, tightened the admiral uniform on her body, and continued to follow Jiqi's footsteps, like a shadow.

"Admiral......" Bismarck gradually slowed down, his red eyes full of caution and solemnity. From the moment she left the café, she felt that someone behind her had been silently peeking at her and the commander, and although there was not the slightest malice, it caught her attention. "Admiral, I think someone is following us." She felt the breath of flickering distance and nearness, and whispered in Jiqi's ear,

"Someone is following us?" Jiqi also became vigilant in an instant.

Because the avant-garde has recently severely sanctioned countless nobles, and as the admiral behind him as the secretary general, there must be people who want to get back from him, and even threaten the power of the governor's palace with this. After all, it is difficult to target the ship's mother, but the weak admiral is very easy to target.

"Yes, I've been following since the café, but I don't feel the slightest malice on the other party, and it seems that he is secretly protecting the existence of the commander." Bismarck said uncertainly.

Although she believed in her feelings, she would never use the commander's safety as a bargaining chip, so for the sake of safety, she decided to take Jiqi to the alleyway in front of her to see who had been following them.

"Commander, let's go to the alleyway in front and see who the people behind are sacred." She clenched her fists and said hard. Today was her time alone with the Commander, and it was the only chance to get closer, and Bismarck didn't want this henchman behind her to bother them.

"Okay, I'll bless you with talent when necessary." Ji Qi nodded in agreement, he also wanted to know who the other party was, after all, such a person who followed him, who would believe that he had no purpose. He squeezed Bismarck's hand, turned and slipped into the empty alleyway, waiting for the shadow behind him to appear.
