Chapter 229 I, Lexington, am back again
Su Xia admitted that he was moved.
For the girl who was walking in front of him with her hands behind her back, and suddenly turned around while talking. Her beautiful short chestnut hair fluttered as she turned around. Her eyes were clear and crystal, and her slightly moving eyeballs seemed to be flowing with a layer of dreamy light. She was such a bright and lovely girl.
Su Xia had a lot to say, but in the end he said nothing and just stretched out his hand towards the girl.
Zuikaku grabbed that hand.
They stood side by side at the railing.
In front of them was the boundless sea, which looked like a velvet carpet under the moonlight. Above them was a bright moon, with stars sparsely visible. Zuikaku thought of her good friend, the literary girl Taiho, and the strange knowledge she had heard from Taiho, and said, "The moonlight is so beautiful."
Su Xia turned her head and looked at Ruihe, with a smile on her face.
"The moon tonight is so beautiful. I have watched the moon with you before. Whenever I think of the happy and sad times we spent together in the past, I will inexplicably shed tears for the passing of time. From now on, everything with you will become a beautiful memory that comforts my life. In the rest of my life, I will miss watching the moon with you tonight."
Su Xia was a little surprised that he could recite it by heart, but was he pretending?
"Ah?" Zuikaku was a little stunned. What was the admiral talking about? He seemed so impressive. Nothing else. In the end, the girl only heard about it from other people, but she knew the reason.
Su Xia was not that naive, so of course he would not laugh at Zuikaku and show off. He just smiled slightly, bathed in the sea breeze, and said with a bit of evil humor: "The wind tonight is quite noisy."
There is a joke circulating on the Internet, which says that when Natsume Soseki was teaching English at school, he gave students a short article to translate. In the article, the male and female protagonists were taking a walk under the moon, and the male protagonist said "I love you", and some students translated it directly into "I love you".
Natsume Soseki said that the Japanese would not say it like this, and it should be more tactful and implicit, and it would be enough to translate it as "今夜は月が绮丽ですね", which means the moonlight tonight is really beautiful.
It doesn't have to be a beautiful moonlight, otherwise it's no different from saying I love you directly. When you want to share all your feelings with the person you like, every sentence is a subtle way of saying I love you. It doesn't matter if the sun is really bright today, let's go play in the snow together, or let's go eat ice cream.
Zuikaku didn't understand why, but she had a vague feeling, but she didn't know how to say it. She combed her short hair in the sea breeze and said, "Yes, the wind is so strong."
Su Xia chuckled. This girl really doesn’t understand anything.
Zuikaku noticed that Suxia was smiling and asked, "What's the problem?"
"No problem." Su Xia said.
Zuikaku was still concerned and said, "I know, I don't have much education..."
"It's the same, all the same." Su Xia interrupted Zuikaku, "Let's go for a walk, don't stand here."
"Where are we going?" Zuikaku asked.
Su Xia had no idea either, and said, "I don't know, but don't stand here and don't let anyone see you."
"You are so afraid of being seen together."
"I just don't want to be disturbed. I just want to be with Zuikaku."
“Hmm…”
Zuikaku said nothing more.
They walked hand in hand on the embankment by the sea.
There are quite a lot of street lights inside the garrison, but far fewer on the embankment by the sea, but this is just right.
Su Xia looked at the sky and said, "To be honest, the moon is really beautiful tonight."
"Yes. It's very round." Zuikaku responded without giving it much thought, such as how beautiful the moonlight was.
"Because it's close to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th." Su Xia said, speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when families reunite, he felt a little homesick. But after so much time, he has completely accepted his current life and is not so depressed immediately. Of course, he still cares a little , but that's all.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In most cases, the shipgirls celebrate festivals with the admiral. Otherwise, the shipgirls of different departments in a naval base all celebrate different festivals, which would be endless. Mid-Autumn Festival, not the 15th night. Zuikaku tilted his head and said, "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is later."
"It's almost October."
"Not long."
"About a month."
"Admiral, please stay in the tutelary fort to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."
"I said I won't leave again." Su Xia said, thinking that she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
"Um."
"Does Zuikaku like mooncakes?"
"It's okay... I haven't eaten it many times." Zuikaku said, "We Japanese are still used to eating Tsukimi dango. The main reason is that everyone only knows how to make Tsukimi dango, not moon cakes." It seems that Yixian doesn't know much about Japanese food, and the Japanese people also have a vague understanding of Chinese dim sum.
Su Xia knew that Yuejian Dango was a kind of white dango made of glutinous rice, but that was all he knew. He said, "I've never eaten it."
"Admiral, you can come to our pub this year. You can enjoy the moon while you eat."
"No."
"Admiral, are you going to the Chinese restaurant to accompany Yixian and the others?"
"No, you misunderstood me." Su Xia said, "My idea is that everyone in the entire garrison should go to the cafeteria or the rooftop of the cafeteria to enjoy the moon, eat moon cakes, eat moon dumplings, and have a barbecue."
"I understand." Zuikaku thought, now that the admiral has returned, the tutelage will be united.
Su Xia smiled and said, "Zuihe has eaten mooncakes a few times before, so you can try them this year. I recommend the five-nut mooncake."
"You don't think I don't know anything, do you? I know five-nut mooncakes. Are five-nut mooncakes for people to eat?" Zuikaku lowered his head and looked at their clasped hands. He thought, even so, the admiral still wants to bully people. It's really too much.
"Are you looking down on five-nut mooncakes?" Su Xia said. Since Ruihe couldn't be coaxed, it seemed that L20 could only be coaxed.
Zuikaku wrinkled his nose and said, "I just look down on five-nut mooncakes."
"You don't know how many five-nut mooncake lovers there are. If you look down on five-nut mooncakes, you are looking down on them."
"So what? It's none of my business. I just despise and don't eat five-nut mooncakes."
"In fact, as long as you remove the green and red silk and winter melon sugar, even the five-nut mooncake is still edible."
"Even if I remove it...will you eat it if I give it to you?"
"Of course I don't eat it." Su Xia laughed.
Zuikaku looked disgusted.
There were steps on the seaside embankment leading down to the beach, and they walked down.
As her white sandals stepped on the beach, Zuikaku suddenly asked, "Do you like sweet or salty rice dumplings, Admiral?"
"That must be a salty rice dumpling, a meat rice dumpling. Sweet rice dumplings are some kind of monster."
"Where's the tofu pudding?"
"It must be sweet tofu." Su Xia shook her head and said, "Salty tofu, I've only eaten it once, one bite... I don't know how to describe the taste, it's unforgettable. But it's still a little better than the food made in London."
There is a tall sand castle on the beach. I wonder who built it.
Su Xia wanted to knock down the sand castle, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it. One should not be so heartless.
The beach was only so big, and outside the beach were the seaside reefs. Walking on the reefs, sitting on the reef closest to the sea, searching for a small stone, throwing it into the sea with force, the sound of the stone falling into the water could not be heard at all, hidden in the sound of the waves, Su Xia asked: "Zuihe, do you like the sea?"
"I like it." Zuikaku said, " What ship girl hates the sea?"
"Is it because of the ship girl that you like the sea?"
"I don't know. I just like it." Zuikaku asked, "Admiral, do you like the sea?"
"As for me..." Su Xia said, lying on the flat rock, "I should like it. I don't hate it anyway."
"As an admiral, you don't like the sea?" Zuikaku asked back.
"Even if you're an admiral, why would you like the sea?" Su Xia said, "It's enough to just like the ship girls."
Su Xia paused and said, "I like Zuikaku."
Zuikaku opened his mouth, about to speak, but stopped himself, and changed the subject: "Don't you think the stone is dirty?"
"Not dirty." Su Xia said. He had specifically checked the reef before lying down.
"Lie down for a while." Su Xia added, "You don't know what time I got up this morning. I got up at 4:30 this morning when it was still dark, and I have been busy until now without a break. Speaking of which, I went to bed late last night too. Counting it up, I only slept for a few hours."
"Why are you up so early?"
"Aren't you participating in a cooking competition?"
Zuikaku knew.
"I'm really a little tired." Su Xia narrowed her eyes, "I'll just sleep here for a while."
"Go back to sleep." Zuikaku kicked Su Xia's arm.
"Let's sleep together."
Zuikaku subconsciously wanted to refuse but didn't say anything.
Su Xia looked at the sky and said, "It's really beautiful lying down and looking at the sky like this."
With an excuse , Zuikaku hesitated for a moment, then slowly lay down and said, "No, it's not like that."
"Ha. I lied to you. I tricked you into lying down." Su Xia said, he turned his head and saw Zuikaku's face as if covered with a layer of fluorescence in the moonlight. He climbed up and looked down at Zuikaku who was sleeping beside him. It was not because of Shokaku's instructions , hoping that he could take the initiative, but because he wanted to bully Zuikaku.
Su Xia did not lean down directly, and Ruihe did not say anything. The two of them looked at each other for a long time.
Without any particular thoughts, Su Xia slowly lowered her head. Zuikaku's eyelashes trembled and she lowered her eyelids.
Zuikaku was ready and waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
What's going on? Is this a joke? Zuikaku opened his eyes and saw a playful smile, and found that Su Xia was looking into the distance with a frown on her face.
Su Xia found that Zuikaku had opened his eyes, and then he remembered that the girl was waiting for him. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he was willing to do it a hundred times, a thousand times, and he definitely had no intention of bullying anyone, but was just a little surprised. He explained: "It seems that someone is watching us."
"Someone, who is it!?" Zuikaku struggled to get up and saw a figure standing in the darkness not far away.
There were no street lights on the beach, and because the distance was quite far, I couldn't see who the figure was clearly with only the moonlight.
"Which one, where is that one?" Zuikaku shouted in a panic.
"Me." A girl's voice sounded. Su Xia felt very familiar with it.
"I... who am I?" Zuikaku said, thinking to himself, if you only say "I", who will know who you are.
The blue light came on, and a miserable woman's face appeared.
"I, Lexington."
Zuikaku shuddered. That was indeed Lexington's face. What was going on?
