Chapter 233: Died of no illness?
The cell phone kept ringing, and it wasn't a song, but the default ringtone of the phone system, which seemed to be asking for my life.
It’s just a call from Zuikaku, so just hang up, there’s no need to care about it at all.
But this call was from Lexington, the well-deserved wife of the garrison. In addition, she had been taken care of all along, so she dared not and could not hang up. What else? CV-16 looked to Su Xia for help, hoping that he could give her an answer.
To be honest, Su Xia didn't know what to do.
"Let's just answer it. What if something happens?" CV-16 whispered and answered the call.
"Hello." CV-16 lay on the bed, holding the phone to her ears with both hands.
Lexington's voice rang out. "Xiaoyou ?"
CV-16 responded softly: "Yes."
Others like to call her Mrs. Sixteen, but Lexington likes to call her Xiaoyou affectionately.
The Essex-class Lexington, most famously known as the "Blue Ghost", is a product of its long-term use of a blue paint scheme. At the same time, Japan has repeatedly publicized the sinking of CV-16 Lexington, but CV-16 Lexington always reappears like a ghost.
"Are you with the Admiral?"
CV-16 glanced at Su Xia while holding the phone, feeling a little guilty for some reason: "Yeah."
"Zuihe came over and said the admiral's phone was turned off and I couldn't get through. I tried it and it was the same. Then she said that she and the admiral were taking a walk on the beach, and when she left, the admiral was with you... and you hung up on her again. She was worried, and I was a little worried, so I called you... What's going on?"
CV-16 explained: "Well, the admiral fell into the water, and I was afraid that if the phone was turned on while soaked in water, it would burn the circuit board, so I turned it off. As for why I hung up Zuikaku, it was because... that was because I..."
"How did the admiral fall into the water?" CV-16 said hesitantly. Obviously there was a lot of hidden secrets. It would definitely be big news if we dig deeper. However, the anxious voice was only concerned about the admiral's safety. Zuikaku hung up the phone. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." CV-16 replied, thinking that not only was she fine, but she was also very energetic and strong.
"He's always so careless...why don't you pay more attention to him?"
"Hmm..." CV-16 didn't know what to say. It was she who caused the admiral to fall into the water.
"Forget it, I'm glad you're okay... Where are you now?"
CV-16 is not good at lying, nor does she like lying, so she said, "At the Admiral's house."
"The Admiral is taking a shower?"
"I just finished washing."
"Then let the admiral answer the phone."
CV-16 sat up from the bed, handed the phone to Su Xia, and said, "Lexington asked the admiral to answer the phone."
Su Xia took the phone. He didn't know why he felt a little guilty, so he said, "Hello, Mrs. Lie..."
"I heard from Xiaoyou that the admiral just fell into ?"
"Yeah." Su Xia said, subconsciously adjusting her clothes, and saw CV-16 also adjusting her hair.
Even after getting the answer from CV-16, Lexington still felt uneasy. "Is it okay?"
"It's okay. My clothes are all wet. I just got home, took a shower, and changed into dry clothes . I'm mainly worried that the phone won't be damaged. Even if it's repaired, I heard from Rokuta that Yubari can repair it... Fubuo should be able to repair it too. I don't know much about it, but it's troublesome, isn't it?"
"I don't know much about electronic products. I heard that if a mobile phone falls into water, you should take it out immediately, turn it off, and put it in a rice jar . I don't know if it will help."
"I've heard that, too. Whether it's useful or not, I don't have a rice jar here." Su Xia said that the single-room apartment he lives in only has half a kitchen, located at the entrance. In fact, it's just a counter with a sink, which can be used as a kitchen cabinet. Currently, there is only a kettle, and other than that, there is no rice cooker or induction cooker. After all, he didn't plan to cook here from the beginning, so he didn't prepare anything for it.
Su Xia continued, "Don't bother with that. It's just been soaked in water, so it shouldn't break that easily. Otherwise, the quality would be too poor. My old phone was fine even when it fell into water, and this new one is even more expensive and better. If it's really broken, just fix it. If not, buy a new one."
Su Xia doesn't need to worry about money at all now. To exaggerate, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
"That's right... I'm glad you're alright, Admiral. Wait a minute, Admiral, Zuikaku wants to talk to you."
Su Xia waited for a while and heard a funny sound coming from the phone.
"I heard that the admiral also fell into the water?" Zuikaku said in a cheerful voice.
Su Xia sat down on the sofa and said, "You are unlucky, and now I am unlucky with you, and you are funny."
"Of course. Isn't it funny to have someone share my bad luck?... How did you fall into the water?"
"Same as you." Su Xia said. Thinking about it, it was really the same as Zuikaku. They were both forced to retreat subconsciously by CV-16. They even made trouble for no reason and then slipped and fell into the sea. Fortunately, the water there was not deep, only soft sand, no sharp rocks.
"Similar to me... that's why Sixteen is so awesome?"
Su Xia said: "What are you talking about?"
"Ha, just kidding, just kidding...will you come over later?"
"Come here?" Su Xia asked, "Where to?"
"The cafeteria." Zuikaku's voice sounded as if it was a matter of course.
"What are you going to the cafeteria for?" Su Xia asked. He didn't want to go anywhere now.
"Play."
"It's so hard to run... I'm at home now, it takes at least ten minutes to get there from here."
"It won't take ten minutes."
"Your Japanese residential area is close to the cafeteria, but I live in Guanhai Building, which is the farthest place from the cafeteria."
"Who told you to live so far away?"
"Yes, it's my fault for living so far away. But I really don't want to leave. You know, I told you, I woke up at around four in the morning and haven't rested since then. I'm really a little tired. And I'm used to not going out after taking a shower, otherwise I'll sweat and have to take a shower again."
"Then just wash another one."
“It’s troublesome.”
"It's up to you if you don't want to come. If Mrs. Sixteen wants to come, you can ask her to come."
"Then you have to ask her if she wants to go."
Zuikaku's voice had not been heard until she knew that Su Xia was a little worried, and then it rang again.
"Admiral, you and Shishita are together, right?"
Su Xia defended: "What do you mean by getting together?"
"You can do it. You were with me just now, and in the blink of an eye, you are with Shiliuta."
"Uh..." Su Xia responded, feeling a little awkward at this moment. Yes, she had just held hands with Zuikaku and almost kissed him, and then she was mixed up with CV-16, not just kissing. If it weren't for this phone call, something wonderful could have happened.
"Give the phone to Mrs. Sixteen and I'll talk to her."
"What are you going to say to her?"
"Ask her if she wants to come and play, what else can you say?"
"All right……"
Su Xia returned the phone to CV-16. He was sure that Zuikaku's search for CV-16 was not that simple, so he reminded her, "Zuihe wants to talk to you...be prepared."
"What preparations are you making?" CV-16 answered the phone with some confusion.
Wait until CV-16 hangs up.
In fact, after that phone call, there was no more ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Su Xia was a little guilty and embarrassed for what he had just done. He was talking sweetly to this girl and then he moved on to another girl. CV-16 was expressionless.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, the stalls made of tables were completely restored to their original state and the floor was completely cleaned.
The contestants of the cooking competition, including the staff of Reputation, Counterattack, etc., who participated in the cooking competition, could not leave and had to stay to clean up the mess. Then there were Lexington, Shokaku, Zuikaku and others. It seemed that there would be a small dinner after the cooking competition.
Su Xia was somewhat glad that he came. Otherwise, he would have left before the cooking competition was over and then never been seen again. As the general commander of the cooking competition, he would have failed. At least he should have been there when the cooking competition was over, to put a perfect end to the competition.
"Admiral, didn't you say you were tired and didn't want to come?" Zuikaku said with a grin.
"Didn't you insist that I come?"
After chatting with everyone, congratulating Yixian for winning the first place in the cooking competition, drinking a little wine, and finally having a midnight snack, it was almost eleven o'clock and it was almost time to go home. Su Xia returned to Guanhai Tower alone. Instead of going upstairs to sleep, she walked through Guanhai Tower to the beach and looked out at the endless sea.
The cooking competition is really over.
The canteen reform is basically stable.
That's the admiral's job, nothing more than that.
"What are you so sad about here, Admiral?"
Su Xia turned around and saw Missouri, with her slightly wavy hair hanging lightly on her cheeks.
