Chapter 235: A Bit of Cold Light Arrives First
Su Xia didn't think much about it, there were many reasons.
Although he kept talking about marriage, he subconsciously never really regarded her as his wife, with the kind of natural relationship of holding hands, kissing, and even doing things. When they got along, they were like dealing with strangers, always remembering to be polite and maintain their image.
I experienced the Zuikaku and CV-16 incidents not long ago. Every time they failed at critical moments, I was not disheartened, but I have generally let it go.
It was mainly because of Missouri's behavior. There was no ambiguity, such as charming gaze, winking, or eyes full of tenderness. The way she held the cup and drank water, it was just that as a friend she wanted to show him around her room, that's all.
Walking up the ebony stairs, Su Xia deliberately lightened her steps.
The island where the garrison is located is not very large. It cannot be said to be small by any means. In fact, it is mainly because there are not thousands of people living there. There is probably one single house for every few people. Many people live in residential buildings. I don’t know how many people a residential building can accommodate. There are even more little girls living together, two children in one room. In this way, it can be said that there is no shortage of land in the garrison.
There is no need to worry about insufficient land. The villa can be built in any way, occupying a slightly larger area. Each room does not need to be like a commercial house, where a bed, a wardrobe and two bedside tables are placed in one room, leaving little space.
In the warm yellow light.
Missouri's room is quite large. There is a bedside table on the left side of the simple rosewood bed, a dressing table on the right side, and an ivory-white European-style cabinet at the foot of the bed. The bookshelf is placed on the wall near the corridor, and the desk is placed next to the bookshelf. Pushing open the glass door is a small balcony with a table and chairs, and then there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Su Xia made a quick assessment and concluded that the room in Missouri only lacked a bathroom and an entrance hall compared to his bachelor apartment.
"This is my room now."
Missouri sat down on the edge of the bed, the soft mattress sinking slightly.
"Of course, it's the most beautiful room I've ever seen." Su Xia said, just to be polite.
"Has the Admiral been to many people's rooms?" Missouri asked.
"Not bad." Su Xia laughed dryly. He remembered that Missouri turned on the light when he entered the room, but didn't turn on the air conditioner. The central air conditioner control panel near the door kept showing that it was 22 degrees Celsius. "By the way, don't you turn off the air conditioner when you go out?"
"Why should it be closed?" Missouri asked back.
"What a waste." Su Xia thought for a moment. Not to mention the garrison, even many ordinary people don't turn off the air conditioner when they go out. It's just that he used to live in a village in the city, and the electricity bill was quite high, several times the normal price, and it really hurt to use it. In the end, it's nothing more than poverty.
"Admiral, do you usually turn off the air conditioner when you go out?" Missouri asked, "I think it's too troublesome. Unlike lights that can be turned on directly, if the air conditioner is turned off, you have to wait a long time for it to cool down when you need it."
Su Xia wasn't such a frugal person, she was frugal only out of helplessness, and said, "I won't turn it off in the future. Anyway, the electricity bill will be reimbursed by the garrison, right?"
"Do you still have to worry about reimbursement?" Missouri fell on the bed.
"Why not?" Su Xia said, "I'm probably the poorest person in the entire tutelary fort. Probably a little better than L20, but not much."
Missouri sat up again and said, "You bought such an expensive computer just like that. Now you're complaining about being poor."
"I have nothing to be ashamed of. Lexington paid for it for me. " Su Xia laughed, "I'm just a gigolo."
"You are a capable person, Admiral, if you can just eat for free."
"Ha ha."
Missouri held his chin and asked, "Does this mean that the admiral is now supported by Lexington?"
Su Xia stood in front of the bookshelf, pressed her fingers on the book, pushed it back and took it out, held it in her hand, and joked, "Date once a week."
"Is it over?" Missouri raised her beautiful eyebrows.
"It's over." Su Xia flipped through the book in her hand. The book was brand new. I'm afraid Missouri just put it on the bookshelf and never read it. It's just for decoration. In fact, Missouri is not a person who likes reading, at least she doesn't like reading classics.
"It's too little," said Missouri.
Su Xia stuffed the book back and said, "I am the admiral. It's very expensive. What do you think?"
"I also want to support the admiral. How much does it cost per month?" There was a smile in Missouri's voice.
"One hundred thousand a month, no bargaining."
“So cheap?”
Is it because poverty has limited my imagination? I can't regret it, but there is a way to remedy it. The game itself can be given away for free, and all the DLCs can be earned back. Su Xia said: "One hundred thousand a month is just the minimum consumption, and other value-added services are charged extra."
"You are good at business. You are no worse than Santi."
Su Xia was quite interested in all kinds of books. She scanned the bookshelf and said, "I just want to say this: if you don't have money, don't try to pretend to be a rich woman."
"I am one of the richest people in the garrison, a wealthy woman." Missouri said, "I just want to ask, you live with me every day. Get up in the morning to comb my hair, choose the clothes I want to wear today. Prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner, and feed me. When I am unhappy, tell jokes to cheer me up. Carry my bags when we go shopping. How much does it cost per month?"
Su Xia turned around, stared at Missouri, and smiled, "No money."
"No money?"
"Yes, for free, because I love Missouri, so much. I want to be with her every day, watch TV, watch her favorite movies, whether they are blockbusters or niche art films. Prepare breakfast, sandwiches and milk for her. Force her to drink milk because it is very nutritious. Help her choose clothes, which is easy because she has a figure like a clothes rack..." Su Xia said, he has learned it now.
Even though Missouri was not an easy person to deal with, he was stunned at this moment.
At this moment, Su Xia found a few familiar books on the bookshelf. She took them out and looked at them. Her expression became strange and she asked, "Missouri, let me ask you, what's going on?"
Missouri was not so easy to deal with. He came to his senses and was about to fight back when he waved a book and said, "What?"
"What is this?" Su Xia said. The book in his hand was clearly a book drawn by Bei Zhai. He had seen his humiliation book in Bei Zhai's secret base. It must be mentioned that Bei Zhai was fearless. Even if it was a book drawn by him to humiliate people, he dared to ask the parties for their opinions.
Missouri looked at the man who was looking through the book and smiled, "As you can see."
Su Xia raised her head and looked at the bookshelf again. There was a whole row of books on the shelf, all neatly arranged. She said, "Wow, you have quite a lot."
"Of course. I am a loyal reader of Mr. Bei Zhai." Missouri said, "Every time a new work is published, I buy three copies at a time, and there is always one less in the supreme edition."
Su Xia didn't know what expression she had, and said, "You are amazing."
Since he had read almost everything in the secret base of Beizhai, Su Xia simply flipped through it and put the book back on the bookshelf. He didn't know how to describe his feelings for the book with himself as the protagonist. He just asked, "I just want to ask, is it okay for you to put it here so openly?"
"What else could be the problem..."
"Aren't you afraid of being seen by Iowa and Wisconsin?"
"I'm not afraid." Missouri said, "My eldest sister always asks me to buy a copy for her when I buy one. My youngest sister likes to commission works, which are not cheap. My second sister likes to draw by herself, but that's her level... and she doesn't do it for long..."
Su Xia was speechless.
After looking at the bookshelf, Su Xia came to the desk and flipped through the magazines on the table. There were pens, tablets, wallets, mobile phone chargers, snacks, and perfumes placed in a mess. She walked to the dressing table and looked at the mirror to see the perfumes and lipsticks. In front of the counter, she looked at the beautiful ornaments for a while, but she was not very interested. She could look through the books on the bookshelf, but not the cabinets and drawers. Finally, she walked to the balcony and looked at the dark sea.
There was nothing to see, so Su Xia took out her cell phone and the screen showed that it was already past twelve o'clock.
It seems that serving tea and looking at the phone is also meaningful. Missouri asked: "Admiral, are you ready to go back?"
Su Xia said, "It's almost 0:40."
"So you're going back?" Missouri asked.
"It's quite late."
Missouri sat on the bed, bent over, hugged his knees, and said, "I say, is the admiral a fool?"
"What... Of course not."
"Eunuch?"
"You are the eunuch."
"Do you still prefer men and not girls?"
"Straight."
"Or is it that Missouri is just ugly and not to your liking?"
"No, Missouri is very beautiful, very beautiful. She has good looks, a good figure, and a good temperament. Anyway, I said, I like Missouri." Su Xia asked, "What do you want to say? I don't understand, Riddler?"
Missouri looked at him, then looked away, her voice faint.
"Sometimes, I really don't understand whether the admiral is smart or stupid. It seems that his IQ fluctuates."
"I thought the Admiral knew what it meant for a girl to invite a man to her house late at night to visit her room."
"Now the admiral told me that it's too late and we have to go back."
"I think the admiral is smart, but he often pretends not to know. Or maybe he lacks confidence. He doesn't seek to achieve anything, but to avoid making mistakes."
"Does Missouri have to explain it clearly?"
"I've said it before, a ship girl is different from ordinary people. She doesn't care about the affairs of men and women at all. She just wants the admiral to love her. A hug, a word of concern, or even a smile will be enough. She will be satisfied."
"Even so, no matter what, it does not include making up my mind to invite the admiral to my room in the middle of the night, and then letting him go and let him go back."
"I like the Admiral."
"Does the Admiral like me?"
