Chapter 248: Victory's Small Classroom (Part 2)
Seeing Su Xia staring at her, Shengli felt a little guilty, as she was just talking nonsense.
Victory coughed and hesitated whether to directly enter the surrender process?
The Royal Navy will fight any enemy it encounters. The word "surrender" has never appeared in the dictionary of the Royal Navy. The Victory gritted its teeth and asked, "Admiral, why do you think everyone cares so much? Admiral, you stayed at Missouri's place last night." In short, delay time first.
"I just don't know, so I want to ask Victory." Su Xia said, he actually knew a little bit, but he was worried about saying something wrong and leaving people with the impression of arrogance. He was a person who cared a lot about what others thought.
Victory was silent for a moment, and then she had a clue. She said, "There must be some competition, just like everyone wants to be the first and don't want to fall behind. To be a big sister, not a little sister. Or maybe there is a little jealousy, jealous that Missouri is so close to the admiral."
"We just stayed overnight in Missouri, why is there such a big fuss..." Victory hesitated, trying to delay time, "It's the admiral's problem."
Su Xia sat down, put his hands on the desk, and said, "My question, what's the question?"
"Let me think about what I should say," Victory said. "Give me some time to organize my words."
"Okay." Su Xia responded without saying anything else, and looked at the Victory quietly.
With one hand across his chest and the other hand resting on his chin, Victory paced back and forth in the office. Finally, he snapped his fingers and said, "I know what I should say. Why do I say it's the admiral's problem... Compared to how much everyone likes the admiral, the admiral doesn't seem to like everyone that much."
"Why don't I like you all that much?" Su Xia retorted. How could a man not like such beautiful women with good looks, figures and nice personalities?
"Don't interrupt me, just listen to me first." Victory walked to the desk and tapped it with her hand. She was very angry and her train of thought was almost interrupted. "Understand?"
Su Xia nodded: "I understand."
Victory took a folder and said, "Compared to how much everyone likes you, you definitely don't like everyone that much. Although you keep saying it's a marriage ship, it's just words. In fact, you don't treat it as a marriage ship at all..." Victory suddenly turned around, "Admiral, do you dare to say no?"
Su Xia was silent. Even if she acknowledged everyone's marriage status within a few days, she couldn't get close to them all of a sudden.
"That's it," Victory said, "Except for those little kids, there are also the heartless fools like Constellation and King Kong. You didn't make any moves, so no one dared to get too close to you. They only dared to test you carefully to avoid any accidents and make you dislike them, Admiral."
"Really?" Su Xia said, scratching the hair on the back of his head. He actually felt something.
"I said before, everyone likes you, but you don't seem to like everyone that much." Victory asked, "What do you think we should do now?"
"I don't know." Su Xia said.
"Are you stupid?" said Victory. "Of course I tried hard to make you like her."
"Then why did you work so hard? Chat with you, play games with you, or something like that?" Victory stared at Su Xia. "I think everyone has done that a lot. The admiral should be able to notice it. The admiral is not that stupid."
Su Xia was silent, and he could certainly sense it. It seemed that Lexington was the one who asked him if he wanted to go over for dinner every day and spent a lot of money to buy him a computer. Others did similar things, deliberately creating encounters and looking for trouble. Some were tough, some were gentle.
It seems that Bei Zhai doesn't matter. And Zuikaku?
"Everyone has done so much, and what is the admiral's reaction?" Victory asked himself and answered, "The admiral didn't react at all, didn't show any expression. Even if there is a little reaction, it is far from enough."
Victory leaned against the desk.
"I may have said it in a confusing way."
" Shipgirls are elves and heroic spirits, and they are different from ordinary lives. They don't care about those things. So many admirals are girls, but that's not the case. The admirals were never at the garrison before, and they only cared about their work when they occasionally appeared, but that's not the case."
"Because the admiral cares, everyone cares. In the end, they just care about the admiral."
"Just like a parent shows his love for his child by patting his head, the child will also care about being patted on the head, mainly because he wants to be liked by his parents."
"They are not tired today because of what the admiral did when he stayed in Missouri's room last night. It's because Missouri has treatment that they don't have, and the admiral cares more about Missouri."
"Although it's just a sailing battleship and can't fight, it's still a ship girl. From my point of view, I don't care so much about who the admiral is with today and who he will be with tomorrow. What I care about most is whether the admiral cares about me."
"It's like a toy. I can choose not to play with it, but I can't live without it."
"There are so many people in the garrison, and everyone knows that the admiral can't always be with her, nor does he need to be with her all the time. But I can't just watch the admiral talking and laughing with others while I have nothing to show for it. It's like if parents are together every day, it doesn't matter. But if parents are not around one day, if they don't like her, the sky will fall on them."
Su Xia hesitated to speak.
Victory asked, "What do you want to say, Admiral?"
Su Xia said, "Victory, you are obviously a ship girl, you don't have parents. Maybe the sea is a parent, but it doesn't have a child. How can you be both a parent and a child? You talk in different ways."
"I'm taking care of you, so I'm using parents and children as an example." Victory said unhappily.
"My, don't mind it." Su Xia said, "To be honest, I seem to understand it, but I also seem not to understand it."
Victory still had a bad look on his face and asked, "Do you understand or not?"
"Please continue." Su Xia made a "please" gesture.
The Victory just snorted and didn't take it too seriously.
"Although I have never been to other garrisons, I have always heard of them."
"That's a garrison similar to ours, and it also has an admiral, with many wedding ships. The situation is like this... well, when they're working, it's one thing, but when they're resting or relaxing, a lot of shipgirls gather in the admiral's room..."
"Some people are lying on the sofa reading, some are lying on the bed playing with their phones, and some are lying in the admiral's arms, without any barriers. The admiral is resting on the sofa , and the ship girl can naturally lie in the admiral's arms. In the afternoon, everyone can invite each other to go to the big bath together..."
"Look at our garrison. In our garrison, you can say whatever you want, Admiral, but even if you are facing a wedding ship, you should still treat yourself and them as outsiders. It's obviously an admiral and a wedding ship, but you still want to peek. If you want to look, just look openly."
Su Xia smiled bitterly. He was an admiral who traveled through time and space and had so many wedding ships at once. Instead of getting to know each other slowly and falling in love, and finally being together, he couldn't just hug everyone naturally or something.
Victory feels more and more smooth.
"Anxiety... yes, it's anxiety."
"I think this word is very appropriate to describe everyone's current situation."
"Because of the admiral's behavior, everyone was worried about whether he really liked them. When they heard that Missouri was with the admiral, but they were not, they became even more anxious."
"That explains why everyone was so excited when they heard you were with Missouri last night. It's because of anxiety. I wonder if spending the night with you will make us closer, just like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline."
Victory took a deep breath and asked, "Let me ask you a question. The Admiral has been back at the garrison for so long. Has he ever actively invited everyone to a date, dinner, or walk? I'm afraid they have only passively accepted invitations."
Su Xia was silent.
He thought about it and realized that apart from work, he really hadn't taken the initiative to contact anyone, not even Lexington. It seemed that he had taken the initiative to invite Zuikaku. There should be some bits and pieces, but definitely not much.
He has a habit since he was a child. If his friends don't contact him, he can always not contact them. He is often complained about this. Those friends who have been playing with him since childhood all say that. It's not surprising that KanColle doubts whether he cares about them.
"That's why I think the situation today is all the Admiral's fault." Victory said, "I think if the Admiral had taken the initiative, everyone would know that he liked them, and they wouldn't worry even if they knew who he was with."
"Competitiveness and jealousy are common among shipgirls. Everyone will definitely care about the fact that the admiral was with Missouri last night. This situation today would never have happened. The three judges have all come out."
Victory stood in front of the desk, leaned forward, looked down at Su Xia, and said, "Admiral, how about inviting everyone more often? Try to be more proactive and let everyone know that the admiral likes them and there is no need to worry about it."
"I understand." Su Xia said.
Victory nodded with satisfaction.
Su Xia said: "I will be more proactive in the future. In fact, I am becoming more and more proactive now. Especially after hearing what you said, I seem to need to be even more proactive. Anyway, I know what I should do in the future... It still feels a little difficult, but I will try my best."
"I only have one question now." Su Xia hesitated and said, "What should I do now?"
"I've said so much, but you didn't listen to it at all." Victory said, "Think about it yourself."
The Victory is gone.
Su Xia was thoughtful.
Su Xia didn't continue looking at the documents. He leaned back in his office chair until his cell phone rang and he opened his eyes.
Su Xia picked up the phone, he already knew what to do.
bring it on.
