Chapter 452 Family
"Admiral, Yixian, you are here..."
Chongqing was holding a half-eaten grilled chicken wing and carefully lifted her skirt to the reef area.
Yixian turned his head when he heard the sound and saw Chongqing climbing up the reef, and the white-haired girl Changchun following behind Chongqing. He put his slender finger on his lips. "Shh!" Then he pointed at Su Xia who was sleeping on his thigh, meaning that the admiral was asleep.
Chongqing shut up immediately.
Changchun ran to Yixian's side and asked quietly, "Is the admiral asleep?"
"Yeah." Yixian looked at the man sleeping on her thighs and nodded gently.
Changchun squatted on the reef and looked at Su Xia who was sleeping soundly. She wanted to reach out and touch his eyelashes, his short eyelashes, or pinch his nose. It was just a thought. She knew what she could do and what she couldn't do.
"Are you tired after a busy day?" Chongqing asked in a low voice.
Yixian explained it briefly in a low voice.
"Homesick?" Chongqing repeated, thinking that the admiral and the shipgirl were different. The shipgirl was the heroic spirit and elf of the battleship. She was awakened from the sea and joined the naval base for various reasons, or was awakened from the steel by the admiral. From then on, she and the admiral became a family. The admiral was a human being with parents and brothers. "If you miss home, just go back."
Yixian shook his head slightly.
Chongqing thought about it and realized that the admiral either never stayed in the garrison or never left after arriving . There must be a lot of secrets behind it.
She went to bed too late last night, got up too early in the morning, didn't get a good rest at noon, was busy from the afternoon to the evening, drank a lot of wine at dinner, and was homesick and unwilling to face reality. All these factors made Su Xia lie on Yixian's thighs, close her eyes, and fall asleep almost immediately.
Su Xia didn't know when she fell asleep or how long she slept. She woke up in a daze, stared at the sea for a long time, then sat up and found Yixian looking at her gently. She remembered what had just happened.
After a good night's sleep, she felt much better. After enjoying the sea breeze, Su Xia asked, "How long did I sleep?"
"Not long." Yixian replied, "About half an hour."
"Your legs must have been numb from sleeping."
Yixian smiled and said, "A little bit."
"So," Su Xia touched the back of his neck. He didn't want to appear so depressed anymore. "Do you need me to massage you?"
"Okay." Yixian smiled.
This time it was Su Xia's turn not to know how to answer. He was just trying to make a joke.
"Admiral, wake up."
A pair of hands hugged his neck from behind, and the soft body pressed against him.
That familiar voice belonged to Changchun. Su Xia grabbed the arms and pulled Changchun in front of her, hugging her tightly. She liked the little girl with white hair and red eyes who was obsessed with the admiral too much. She said, "Changchun, my little Changchun." She wanted to bite Changchun's ears.
Changchun sat in Su Xia's arms and said, "Changchun is not small at all."
"Yes. Changchun is not small at all." Su Xia said perfunctorily, resting his chin on the girl's head.
Changchun was not as restless as usual today. He behaved exceptionally quietly. He sat obediently in Su Xia's arms without twisting and turning, touching and pinching here and there, or making any movements. He said, "I heard from Sister Yixian that the Admiral is homesick?"
Su Xia looked at Yixian, without any intention of blaming or reproaching him. It was just a subconscious action. Today's behavior was just a reminder of his feelings, not a scar that could not be opened. She said, "Yes."
"Well," Changchun said after a moment's thought, "we are your family. This is your home."
Su Xia didn’t know what Yixian and Changchun said. Everyone might have misunderstood him, but that was it.
"Um."
He will never forget those family members, but he does have another home now, with many more family members who love him and regard him as the world and everything to the ship girl. Su Xia gently stroked the girl's soft long hair and smiled, "We are a , but what kind of family are we?"
"Husband and wife." Changchun said.
"Uh..." Su Xia looked at Yixian, hoping she could give some answers.
"Isn't it?" Changchun raised her hand high, and she was wearing a shining wedding ring on her left ring finger. "I am the admiral's wedding ship, so I am the admiral's wife."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Xia rubbed Changchun's cute face. It must be said that although Changchun is a missile destroyer, no matter how you look at it, it is not small, but the idea is really childish. "Yixian, have you really taught Changchun that men and women should not touch each other?"
"I've said that." Yixian asked, "But whoever gave Changchun the ring never knew to avoid hugging Changchun...even now he's still hugging her."
Su Xia looked at the white-haired girl sitting in his arms, speechless, and said, "Okay."
Still don't let go.
Chongqing left and now is back, walking over with four cans of drinks.
"Admiral, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Su Xia took the drink handed over by Chongqing, a can of Coke, and said, "Thank you." Because people often say that family members don't like to be so polite, he hasn't said "thank you" for a long time, but this is not a sign that he has not fully recovered.
"You're welcome." Chongqing didn't care.
Su Xia opened the ring pull of the can and looked around, not knowing where to throw it, until Yixian stretched out his hand and said, "Admiral, give it to me," and without any pretense, he put the ring pull of the can in her hand.
Su Xia took a sip of Coke, took the can in her hand, was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's okay." Yixian said.
"Yeah." Su Xia responded, looking towards the busy beach, "Let's go back after finishing our drinks. It's not good to hide outside all the time."
"Okay." Yixian said.
"I've noticed a long time ago that Yixian doesn't seem to participate in the barbecue party." Su Xia said, becoming an admiral gradually developed a bit of an occupational disease, "That won't do. We must actively participate in various activities of the garrison."
"I see. So," Yixian thought for a moment and said, "I saw the admiral helping everyone with the barbecue earlier?"
"Yeah." Su Xia picked up the Coke, "I'm not bragging, I'm a barbecue master now."
"Really?" Yixian said, "I want to eat it."
"Of course it's real." Su Xia said, "I guarantee it's so delicious that you'll swallow it all."
"I want to eat too." Changchun shouted.
"Okay." Su Xia bit the girl's ear, and was a little impatient to show off, "Let's go back."
"Sit down for a while. Didn't the admiral say that we should finish our drinks before leaving?" Yixian looked down, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to cover Su Xia's palm. They are family.
Su Xia grabbed Yixian's hand and said, "Well, sit for a while."
Chongqing watched as Su Xia grabbed Yixian's hand and clenched her fist.
