159. Date on board

"It's you, I used to think you were herbivore."

Edward knocked on Lin Ao's door, and said something like this.

"Huh?"

It was the day of the Osiris's sailing, and Lin'o, who had been confined to disembarking for a week, slept soundly, yawning and his hair was unkempt.

"I don't understand what you're doing."

Edward crossed his hands on his hips: "Lieutenant Anton asked me to inform you that you will be responsible for the security of Lady Isabella in the future." ”

"Did he give permission?" Hearing this news, Lin Ao's tone was obviously much more energetic.

Edward said to him: "I saw it, it was Isabella who specifically asked Li Youde for you." Okay, you've got such a pretty girl! ”

"Don't, don't be nonsense!" Lin Ao's face turned red at once.

"How can I have a beard! If that's not the case, why do you want to name you? She already has four female guards, so she only wants you to be a man! Damn this ship is getting more and more unfriendly to single dogs, you found a HER beauty, Natasha and Bart frowned, and even Sister Sima Qian ignored me every time I pestered Lieutenant Anton! ”

"Sima Qian pestering Lieutenant Anton!?"

"These Sima Qian got off the boat to interview and pulled Anton to be her driver, Herodotus and I have a laugh! No! I'm leaving! ”

Seeing Edward disappear at the end of the hallway, Lin Ao remembered that it was time to tidy up his appearance. He hurriedly got dressed and walked to Elizabeth's room in a nervous mood, and he didn't know what excited he was.

"Wow." Lin Ao knocked on the door, and he could hear his own heartbeat as he waited for it to open. The female soldiers guarding the door looked at them with wary eyes, these female soldiers did not know Elizabeth's identity, but knew that she was from HER, so they were wary of any visitors.

"Who?"

"I, Lin Ao! I am..."

"Come in!"

Before Lin Ao was finished, he was welcomed into the room by Elizabeth. Li Youde gave Elizabeth a room for ordinary drivers, which was more modest than Lin Ao's room.

"I'm still wondering when you'll come."

Elizabeth looked delighted, and her smile was bright. Lin Ao was a little shy and didn't dare to look at her, he thought to himself: "Damn! It's all Edward's fault for some of the things that I don't, and I am blind and nervous! ”

"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? ”

"Nope! I am fine! I came here to ask if there was any assignment for me? ”

Elizabeth: "I don't know anyone on this ship, and although we've only just met, I think I can trust you." ”

Seeing Lin Ao's mechanical nod, Elizabeth smiled and continued: "Lieutenant Anton and I, you still have to take care of the task of the pilot, so I won't call you casually." I called you here to show me around the Osiris, and I'm embarrassed to let a strange female soldier do this. ”

"Did Li Youde allow you to move freely?"

"He allowed it a few years ago, but I didn't dare to run around, but it's too stuffy for me to stay in the room, there isn't even a vase of flowers in this room, do you know where there are flowers on the ship?"

"Uh..."

Lin Ao thought about it, he hadn't usually paid attention to the plants on the ship. There are fake flowers in the restaurant, but...

"There seems to be one in Sima Qian's room, I'll ask for you."

Seeing Lin Ao turn around to leave, Elizabeth shouted to him: "Wait a minute! Am I not going to take me? I want to stop by. ”

"Huh? But Sima Qian is a reporter, is it okay for you to go and see her? ”

"I'll wear sunglasses and a hat!"

Lin Ao didn't dare to let Sima Qian see Elizabeth, after all, the other party was a reporter, and if she saw any clues, it would be troublesome. But at this moment, Elizabeth was looking at herself with eyes that could not be refused, and Lin Ao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

…

Elizabeth followed closely behind Lin Ao, looking at everything on the ship with curiosity like a friend, and from time to time she would stop to touch some of the utensils on the ship, and sighed: "The specifications of Xingmei are similar to those of the Empire, but the appearance is a little different." ”

Lin Ao asked, "Is the inside of the HER similar to that of the Osiris?" ”

"The specs are about the same, but the dΓ©cor is completely different. Your ships are almost entirely white, but the walls of the Imperial ships are frescoed, and the floor and flower boards of the corridors are glued with blankets. ”

"The ship's corridors are also carpeted!? It's too extravagant! ”

"I've only ever been on my father's flagship, and maybe only that ship is like that."

"You've been on a battleship?"

"Only once, at the time of the Battle of Carthage."

Lin Ao opened his mouth wide: "You participated in the Battle of Carthage?!" ”

"My sister and I were sitting on my father's flagship."

"Isn't your dad afraid of something happening to you?"

"My father and the nobles had to lead by example, and my sister and I were both trained to drive humanoid weapons. But I drove very poorly, but my sister Mary was very rich, and my father had the Red Knight teach her. ”

"Oh... That's right. ”

During the conversation, the two had already come to Sima Qian's door, and Sima Qian generously asked Elizabeth to enter the room to choose her favorite plants. Although it was a pick, but there were only a few flowers that Lin Ao couldn't name, Elizabeth picked up one of the spherical flower pots and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

"Yes, you can take it to school."

Sima Qian's attitude was very easy-going, and Lin Aoben was relieved that she would pester Elizabeth to interview her even if she didn't see that Elizabeth was a princess. Until she was about to say goodbye, Sima Qian suddenly said: "If you have anything to say to the outside world, you can find me." ”

Lin Ao and Elizabeth were stunned, and Sima Qian immediately closed the door.

"What does sheβ€”what does she mean by that?"

Elizabeth panicked.

"Uh... Sister Sima Qian is a good person, you don't have to be afraid, then let's go to the restaurant! Lin Ao comforted.

The residential area was not far from the restaurant, and they soon arrived at the restaurant, but before they entered the door, they heard Li Youde's voice:

"Lady Fiona, don't make me a salad every time you prepare a bento! Let's bring some meat! ”

Fiona crossed her waist and asked, "What's wrong with the salad?" Vegetarian salads are nutritious. ”

"I can't get enough to eat! I'm a soldier, how can I work without egg whites! ”

"Isn't your job to sit there and direct? How tired can you be? ”

"Commanding a ship is tiring! My brain doesn't work properly just eating salad, and I don't have time to come over every time to eat! I'm begging you, don't give meat, can you give more eggs? Milk is good, too! ”

Li Youde didn't say a word before it turned into an almost pleading tone, and Fiona suddenly slammed the spoon in her hand down: "Less garlic!" I only gave you salad when I knew you were hiding and eating a burger! Also take into account your nutritional balance! ”

"Thisβ€”this is nothing."

Fiona pointed at Li Youde, who had begun to retreat, with a spoon: "I know everything!" The chef will secretly bake some meatloaf for you every time, and you always have the taste of burgers on you! ”

"This, I, this,"

Li Youde was speechless, and Elizabeth, who was hiding outside the door, asked curiously: "Is the personal diet management of the Captain of the Star Alliance so strict?" This point is far from the empire. ”

Lin Ao shook his head: "No, this is an exception, let's go somewhere else..."

…

The two walked around the ship briefly, and Elizabeth was sent back to her room just as the ship was about to leave port, and the two made an appointment to do so again next time they had time. When the door was closed, even the female soldiers guarding the door saw Lin Ao's flushed face. He had never been happier than he was now, because of his growing environment, Lin Ao had hardly played with girls of the same age for so long.

"Is this a date? No, no, no, it's certainly not like that, and no one is going to date on a battleship. ”

He felt inexplicably happy, and returned to the room with light steps.

…

"What's wrong with you? The soul is not guarded. ”

Lin Ao was woken up by Lieutenant Anton, who remembered that he was helping Anton repair the arm of the "Hundred Steps" in the hangar.

"Nothing."

"Alright, give me the wrench."

Lin Ao took out the wrench in the toolbox and handed it to Anton who was clinging to the arm of the body, and when Anton just held it steady, Lin Ao asked him:

"Lieutenant, does Sister Sima Qian know about Elizabeth?"

Anton was startled, the wrench he was holding was released, and flew back into Lin Ao's arms, and Lin Ao could see it.

"It can't be yours!"

Anton looked embarrassed: "It's not this, this I... I can't help it! She saw the clue and tortured me! ”

"She tortured you?"

"It's not torture, but she's a journalist! A few casual conversations will take me out. But! I made her swear I wouldn't reveal it, and she knew the consequences! ”

It was the first time Anton saw Lin Ao look at him with contempt, and without saying a word, the two heard an alarm sounding inside the ship:

"There is an exchange of fire on the scheduled route, please put the crew into a state of readiness."
