late at night

Prestige pushed open the door and stood in the doorway, looking at the room that had been his own since today, the floor-to-ceiling windows were outside the dark night sky, and the fireworks were playing out in the black curtain. She walked slowly into the room, looking at the neatly arranged furniture and décor, and she didn't know how she felt.

She exhaled slightly and sat on the plain white soft bed, the fluffy pillows as white as snow. This is the first time she has such a luxurious room, when she was in Xinghai Town to suppress the deep sea, she also lived in the same room with other ship girls, and then when they wandered with fantasy after contacting the contract, being able to eat enough was their biggest expectation every day, and they never had time to think about being able to have such superior living conditions, although they did not agree to sign a contract with the young boy, but he did not treat himself differently because of this. Thinking of this, there was a warm current surging in Prestige's heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and a subtle smile appeared on her cold face.

The avant-garde really didn't choose the wrong person, and such a commander is worth entrusting. Prestige said in her heart that she had sneaked a glimpse of Jiqi's hand while playing the game tonight, but he actually had pairs of cards in his hand that he could throw into the pile to increase his chances of winning. But every time he saw that his hand was the one with the least number of people present, he would quietly pinch the pairs of cards in his hand, and accumulate little by little, making himself the last in the game, and she looked at the boy as clear as anyone's eyes, and did not debunk his deception. Ever since she discovered the secret, she had always asked herself, why did he do this? Why do you want to lose the game so much? She didn't come up with an answer until the end of the last game. It wasn't until he left Noah's Ark room that the avant-garde walking in the aisle suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked himself, "Do you know why I chose him as my admiral?" At that time, I shook my head and replied that I didn't know.

She sighed slightly, smiled and said to herself: "Because he is different from other admirals, because he is the fool who dares to do anything for his ship's mother, he is also the madman who dares to fight hard with the deep sea for his ship's mother, and he is also the idiot who doesn't understand the girl very well, and it is because of him that I made such a decision." ”

"Fools? Lunatic? Nerd? Prestige didn't understand what the avant-garde meant, but he could feel the heaviness in her tone.

"You didn't know you just came," the avant-garde wiped the corners of his slightly moist eyes, and his voice was slightly choked. "This is the story I got from Lexington, a story that didn't retreat and fought with his own ship until the last moment."

Prestige was silent for a while, and then muttered for a long time, "Are you sure you're not joking?" Because she had never heard a story like this, it was like a myth that existed only in fantasy.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Avant-garde asked rhetorically, she smiled and continued, "Maybe other people won't be like this, but he will definitely make such a stupid decision, because his eyes are shining with heavy love." ”

"So who is the ship's mother who fought with him? Is it Lexington? Prestige asked.

"Not really," Avant-garde shook his head, "she and her sister Saratoga had only arrived at the town guard house later, and before that time it had been Wales who had been with him. The Governor's original town guard house was not here, but in the Gesar Islands near the deep sea, the old town guard house that was once destroyed by the deep sea, and after the admiral took office, the town guard house once again experienced a large-scale cleansing of the deep sea, and he died under the deep sea sword in that asymmetrical battle, his body was full of wounds large and small, and in the end, perhaps because of the admiral's bravery moved the group of brutal monsters, Wales survived to the end, but he could only hold his admiral's body and cry, Touching his heart that didn't beat and being powerless, this may be the biggest pain as a ship girl, watching his admiral fall in front of his eyes, but he couldn't do anything. I heard her tell me at the time and thought it was just an exaggeration by the ship's mother to promote the greatness of her own admiral, but I was wrong, wrong. ”

"You see the evidence?" Prestige asked with a frown, she had heard the same idea as the avant-garde at the time, and felt that the truth was not so tragic.

"Yes," the avant-garde nodded, "Lexington looked at me with a puzzled look in his eyes, and took out a photograph of the white admiral's uniform that had begun to turn yellow, worn and old. And the white cloth on it was densely covered with the scratches left by the sharp long knife, and the biggest was the scratch on the heart, with mottled blood marks around it that had not been washed off, and it seemed to be the final blow of the deep sea. Although I didn't see the bloodstained admiral's uniform with my own eyes, I could feel the bloody pain and the belief in fighting to the end from the sharp wounds at the corners, and he never mentioned the past to any of us, just buried that past in his heart. ”

"And what about the dress?" Prestige asked, stunned.

"Lexington was quietly in the original town guard's house, because she didn't want Wales to see the traces of her pain, so she left it there without the admiral." The avant-garde smiled sharply when he said this, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. "And you know what? When the Admiral first came here, all the clothes added up to only a few pieces, a set of long sleeves, a set of short sleeves, and two college-issued Admiral Uniforms, which were all the things in his closet, and they were so empty that people wanted to cry. ”

"Isn't there a lot of perks every month to become an admiral? Where did he spend all that money? Prestige asked suspiciously, it stands to reason that the profession of Admiral will not be so poor no matter how poor it is, and this situation is even worse than that of some poor people.

"You know, the Admiral's allowance is divided into two parts, one is the school's allowance, and the money that is given to the Admiral is the money that can be used directly, and this part of the amount will fluctuate according to the merits of graduation, and the Admiral, as the only two Admirals who have graduated with full marks in all subjects in the Enterprise College for many years, this part of the money is the largest. The second part is the resource supply issued by the Governor's Mansion to the ship's mother, which is distributed according to the number of shipwives in the town guard's house. He never touched this part of the Admiral, and all of them were given to the secretary ship Lexington. Speaking of this, the avant-garde exhaled and said with a smile, "The only thing he will use is his part of the allowance, but he has never used that money to buy himself a dress, and the clothes that filled the wardrobe of Wales, the Lexington sisters, and Noah's Ark were all given by that money." The first time I met the Admiral in Gelst, he was wearing only a pair of white short-sleeved gray shorts and a pair of slippers on his feet, and he stayed in a steamer-like office, sweating profusely while writing a report, I thought he was abusing the ship's mother, and he didn't install air conditioning for them in such a hot weather, and his answer was so stupid that I wanted to cry, he said that there were two air conditioners in the town guard's house, one in the Lexington sisters' room, and the other in the Welsh room, and I didn't speak for a long time after hearing this answer. And he was accustomed to the heat that I could not bear, and I finally understood then what the word fool was to say, he was the utter fool, and no admiral would give everything for his own ship like he did, and although he had no other admiral who could have the superior conditions of a huge villa, he gave us everything he had, and he did not give himself anything left. After speaking, the avant-garde held his head high and blinked his eyes, and there was clear water in his eyes.

"So you bought the commandant's expensive kimono for him?" Prestige asked softly.

"Lexington secretly bought it with his resource allowance card, and he did it all without the admiral, because he was extremely harsh on himself, and if he knew the price of that dress, he wouldn't have spent that unjust amount of money that he said was a waste of money." The avant-garde smiled and nodded in reply, the corners of his mouth full of bitterness and helplessness. "That's why I've said so much about prestige, and you should understand what I mean, the ultimate destination of our ship's mother is to have a warm town guard mansion and a commander who will shush and greet herself, and it is impossible to wander forever." She sighed and finally said. "So prestige should make a decision as soon as possible, and don't let yourself regret it for the rest of your life."

Prestige looked at the avant-garde and didn't speak, but felt that her back was more calm than before, her hair neatly combed back was more dazzling than before, and even the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes were shining with happiness, everything was different from the past.

Perhaps, the current avant-garde is truly happy, Prestige clenched his fists and whispered to himself.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Prestige closed her eyes and sighed, she actually had a feeling for this gentle and handsome and lovely Admiral, although she had never been in love, but she had read about this itchy feeling in a book about love. She thought that she would find a random admiral as her helpless home in the future when she was desperate, so that they could grow up in a better environment. But when she saw the young man with a smile on her face, Prestige felt that at that moment, all the peach petals seemed to fall on her face in an instant, with the warmth of spring.

It was this strange heartbeat that made Prestige choose to stay instead of leaving with Blowing Snow, but the unreality in her heart made her hesitate to take that crucial part, she always had the feeling that all of this was like a mirror, and it could be broken at any time. She exhaled heavily, lay down on the soft bed behind her, looked at the bright incandescent light above her head, and smiled slightly.

Prestige is your only chance to be alone with him tonight, so make sure to take advantage of it. The villain in her heart was constantly cheering her on, clenching her fists and making FIGHTING gestures, like a window
