Chapter 355 Lion Queen
We all went to the cafeteria together, and of course we talked about the Conquerors during lunch.
How strong is the Conqueror? Besides the fact that Lion is the Conqueror's sister, who else could possibly be related to the Conqueror in history? If you want to salvage the boat, you can use it a little.
It was already late when they went to the cafeteria, and after a short chat and rest, it was already two o'clock by the time lunch was over. Su Xia left the cafeteria and went directly to the British residential area.
As she often stayed here these days, Su Xia was very familiar with the place. She found Shi's room easily. The door was open. She was wearing casual clothes, dressed in an ordinary way, and sitting by the window reading a book.
Su Xia wanted to knock on the door to alert the lion that he was coming. He just raised his hand, but thought twice and didn't knock. On a whim, he wanted to scare the lion.
Su Xia tiptoed over and walked behind Shi, wanting to see what book she was reading, whether it was a novel. Xiaohua was a good example, reading seriously every day, saying that he knew that all of them were novels. Then, he saw the dense English words, which made him feel bored.
"Admiral, you're here." Shi lowered his head.
"How did you find me..." Su Xia asked. He remembered that Shi was looking at the book from beginning to end and never raised his head.
"Shadow," said the Lion.
Su Xia suddenly realized and said, "I was careless."
Shi asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Admiral?"
"Is there nothing I can do to find you?"
Su Xia talked nonsense, then remembered that he came here for something, and didn't want to slap himself in the face later.
Su Xia hesitated for a moment. By now, he must have known how important he was in everyone's mind. He also understood that he had to take the initiative. At that time, he reached out and hugged the lion from behind. He could feel the lion's body stiffened for a moment, and said, "What book are you reading, lion?"
Shi was stunned for a moment by the admiral's sudden hug, but of course she would not object or resist, and her heart was beating fast. She did not speak, but closed the book so that Su Xia could see the title on the cover.
"No... My English is terrible." Su Xia said. His English was really terrible. If he had just graduated, it would be fine. But after being a social worker for so long, he had no chance to use it. He had forgotten English for who knows how long. "Why don't you read Chinese books?"
Shi said: "It's originally an English book. It's easier to understand the author's ideas by reading the original version than by reading a Chinese book translated by someone else."
"That's right." Su Xia said, "Looking at the books that have been translated by others depends entirely on the level of the translator. For the same book or masterpiece, some publishing houses translate it better and more faithfully, while some publishing houses translate books that are completely garbage."
Su Xia couldn't help but smile. He thought of the game he played before, where a line was translated as "You are courting death" or "You are not ready yet."
Su Xia said: "If possible, it is better to read the original book. However, there are some translators with higher levels, and the books they translate may be better than the originals... Anyway, my English is too bad, so I can only read books translated by others."
Lion asked, "Is the Admiral not good at English?"
"Ordinary reading should be no problem," Su Xia said, "It's a little more complicated and difficult."
Shi said, "It's nothing anyway. I can teach the admiral."
"Sure." Su Xia said, but it was just a perfunctory answer. He let go of the lion and looked around, "Why can't I see the vanguard?"
“Why should we see the avant-garde?”
"Isn't she your follower?" Su Xia said, "I remember she always follows you."
"We are together often, but she is not my follower." Shi said. She never believed that Su Xia would look for her for no reason . "Are you looking for Qianwei? She is not here. I don't know where she went."
Su Xia said: "I'm not looking for her, I'm just asking."
Su Xia didn't want to give the impression that she was looking for him because she had something to do, so she said, "I just heard about a conqueror, and I thought he would be interested, so I came over to talk to him." He smiled, as if he had practiced it, "Finally I have a reason to look for him... I don't want to work, I just want to come over to see him and talk to him."
Even though he knew that someone was just saying sweet things, the lion couldn't help but smile a little and said, "What conqueror?"
Su Xia explained: "It is the third ship of the Lion class. Lion's sister."
The lion said: "You can only say she is the lion's sister, not my sister."
"I know." Su Xia said. Of course he knew. A battleship is a battleship, and a ship girl is a ship girl. Only a ship girl from a garrison is a sister. "Even so, Conquerors are rare. It's better to say that this is the first time they appear. Isn't Lion interested?"
"Somewhat interesting." Lion said, "When did it appear and who built it?"
"I also saw it in the admiral group." Su Xia said, "After looking at the photo, I felt that he didn't look too much like Shi." Anyway, the body shape is very similar.
"Let me see." Lion said, "Does the Admiral have a photo of the Conqueror?"
"I'll look for it." Su Xia said. He took out his mobile phone, opened the chat app, turned to the conversation with Ella, and then handed the phone over.
Shi took the phone, looked at it, and said, "The photo Ella sent you."
"yes."
"Why would Ella send you a photo for no reason... And there was only one photo, and no other conversation."
Shi continued, " She must have sent you a photo because you called her before. Think about it, the fact that the admiral had to mobilize a large force to call Ella means that this conqueror doesn't have an admiral yet... Otherwise, I don't think the admiral would be curious enough to call Ella to ask for photos of other admirals' ship girls."
Shi handed the phone to Su Xia and said, "The Conqueror is the third ship of the Lion class. Think about it, the admiral suddenly came to me today, it must be because of this Conqueror. Do you want me to help you salvage the ship?"
Su Xia really couldn't think of it. He just showed the lion a photo, and the lion immediately guessed the purpose of his visit. He said, "It's both... I hope the lion can help salvage the boat, and I want to come and see the lion, there is no conflict."
"No conflict." Shi said. Only she knew what he was thinking.
Su Xia asked, "Don't you want a sister, Lion?"
"The vanguard is my sister."
Su Xia looked at Shi and thought to herself, do you really treat Vanguard as your sister? She really didn't dare to say it out loud, so she said, "At first, I saw someone in the admiral group mention Conqueror, so I asked Ella out of curiosity. Ella asked me to try to salvage the boat, and Victory advised me to do the same. Of course, as an admiral..."
Su Xia felt more and more guilty as he spoke. He gave up his high-sounding excuse and said, "I want Lion to help me. I plan to go to the KanColle headquarters tomorrow and hope that Lion will accompany me. If Lion is here, it will definitely be easier to salvage the ship."
There are so many people in the garrison, so many wedding ships, and many of them are not wedding ships, but they are eyeing them covetously. If they don't take the initiative, it will take at least a month for the admiral to think of them. Who doesn't want to spend more time with the admiral? There is no rule that everyone takes turns. If they don't take the initiative, it may take several months.
Even that Hu De, who stood firm in the face of the Prince of Wales for the sake of the admiral, was she not even as good as Hu De?
Shi turned his head and looked at Su Xia. After a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't the Admiral just say that he wanted to learn English? Otherwise, come over tonight and I will teach you English."
Not just for the conqueror, Su Xia certainly likes the lion, such a gorgeous queen.
Of course Su Xia would not refuse, she just asked: "Can Lion take a helicopter? If not, we can go there by yacht."
"No problem." The lion replied, with a slight smile on his face.
They chatted for the afternoon. Wait till tomorrow to see what the Conqueror will do.
Su Xia left quickly.
He had something else to do. He had to learn about the Conqueror first. Even though it was only a blueprint ship in history, there was still a lot of information. He had to be fully prepared in case of emergency. He also had to contact Ella. Not everyone could drive a Chinook. He needed a pilot, which meant he had to contact Indomitable.
I ran to several places but couldn't find anyone in the mechanical workshop. I thought it was afternoon and Bu Niang must be enjoying afternoon tea with everyone. I also heard that she went for a walk in the garden after afternoon tea. Finally, I found Bu Niang in the garden with great difficulty.
Su Xia stated her purpose.
Bu Die was squatting beside the flower bed, admiring the flowers.
"Admiral, do you really think I'm a driver?" It was difficult to speak that day.
"No." Su Xia accompanied Bu Nie to appreciate the flowers and naturally denied it.
"I think so. The admiral has never contacted me except when he has something to ask me."
“Isn’t that a job?”
"Do you have work all day?"
Su Xia was speechless, thought for a moment and said, "Next time, for sure."
"I don't believe it."
"I promise." Su Xia smiled, "I can write a document."
"Computer." Bu Niu said, "My computer is a little stuck... Admiral, help me clean up the computer tonight, and I will be your pilot to take you to the KanColle headquarters tomorrow."
"Do you still need my help with the computer?"
"Admiral, are you stupid?"
Su Xia was certainly not stupid, and said, "I'm going to learn English with Shi tonight."
"I can also teach you English."
"I've already promised her."
"tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Xia responded. He felt that there was something wrong because he was obviously the hunter.
No matter what, that night, Su Xia came to Shi's room again, and seeing Shi standing in front of the French window, he gently walked behind her, hugged her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. He found that he no longer had any psychological burden when facing everyone.
"We should have arrived a long time ago... I met Firefly and the others on the way here, and they kept pestering me."
“Just coming here is enough.”
"Also... I ran into the vanguard on the way, in the corridor outside... I noticed that she kept looking at me with strange eyes..."
"She was originally with me... but because the Admiral wanted to come over to learn English, I had no choice but to persuade her to leave..."
"I understand."
They certainly didn't learn English.
How could a lion teach English? There were no textbooks. A man and a woman were alone in a room, and Su Xia had no intention of learning English. However, it was still early, not yet time to go to bed, so they played several games of chess together until eleven o'clock.
Su Xia knew what the ship girls were thinking. They just wanted the admiral's love and care.
The problem is that the ship girl also knows what he is thinking.
After some ups and downs, they hugged each other and talked.
"The lion's hair is really beautiful and thick."
"Um."
"As expected of a lion... Kanmusu comes from people's thoughts and wishes. When you think of a lion, you know that it has a thick mane, so it must have long, thick hair. But among animals, only male lions have thick manes, not female lions. So, people don't care about the details at all."
“Not really.”
"A lion wouldn't not know that only male lions have manes. Even if you don't like animals... this is common sense." Su Xia was very excited. He loved the animal world the most. "Speaking of which, it is common sense that only male lions have manes, but female hyenas also have manes. Most people definitely don't know that."
“No way…”
"Yes. Of course not." Su Xia said, "Of course it's not real, it just looks like it."
"Also, hyena, although its name contains the word 'dog', is not a real dog. It is not Canidae, but Hyenaidae in the Feliformes superfamily. Many people don't understand this." Su Xia finally realized, "I got a little excited and didn't pay attention. You probably don't like to hear this... I felt a little stupid."
"I like to listen to it." Lion paused, "As long as it's what the admiral says."
"Really?" Su Xia said, "If you don't like it, just say so. Let's change the topic, otherwise I will take it seriously."
"I like it." Shio said. She had no interest in animals, but she liked the admiral's excitement in sharing his little-known trivia with her. She could feel the admiral's sincerity.
Su Xia was not polite and said a lot of things. The Komodo dragon mainly kills with venom, and its saliva can infect prey with sepsis. What is the difference between a cheetah and a leopard? Cheetahs are weaklings, they just run fast and are bigger cats. Leopards are large beasts.
Su Xia didn't know how long he had been talking. Isn't this a beautiful woman in his arms? He didn't want to...
Su Xia stopped showing off and whispered in the lion's ear, making a small request.
"Admiral, please say it again. What did you just say?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to... But I really like the way you look in a dress, a crown, and a scepter... Anyway, it's the way Her Majesty the Queen dresses. I've liked it for a long time. By the way, I remember that you always called yourself a concubine. Why do you call yourself me now?"
"You pervert."
"I don't deny it anymore."
Su Xia didn't know how she got up the next day.
As expected, she is the Lion Queen.
Bu Nie had been prepared for a long time. Seeing Su Xia's unsteady steps, he said, "Admiral, don't you know that we have something to do today? Are you going to salvage the boat like this?"
"No problem. Just take a bath."
All in all, after some bumps and bruises, they set off for the KanColle headquarters.
