Chapter 39 House Viewing
Since their current location was relatively close to the newly built villa area and Guanhai Tower was also there, they decided to go there first.
After breakfast, and waiting for Lexington to pack up, they set out, of course, all four of them.
Leaving home, taking a short detour, passing through the tree-lined path, and walking along the so-called Ring Island Highway - when Su Xia first arrived, she walked half a circle along the Ring Island Highway. It is said that the main purpose of this Ring Island Highway is for everyone's racing entertainment - immediately saw the villas built on the beach and the so-called Sea Viewing Tower.
The Guanhai Tower looked quite modern, with curtain walls like those office buildings in big cities, but it wasn't very tall, with no more than a dozen floors, and the area it occupied was barely enough. After all, there were only so many people in the garrison, a few hundred in total, and even if more people joined in the future, there wouldn't be many, so it would be useless to build something so tall.
They went to Guanhai Building first. It was equipped with an electronic door that opened automatically when approached. The first floor was not occupied, and was furnished with ivory-white European-style round tables, rattan chairs, and armchairs. There were several shops, including bookstores, cafes, and convenience stores, all of which were currently closed. Wouldn't the shops open for business at around nine o'clock?
They didn't go directly to see the house, but took a good walk around the first floor.
"When I have nothing to do, I like to come here and read a book while looking at the sea." As soon as he got closer to the tables and chairs, Xingxing left and sat down, sighing as he sat in the reclining chair.
"You can read books?" Saratoga said. She just liked to go against the stars.
"Why can't I read?" Xingxing said dissatisfiedly.
"I can read books," said Saratoga. "Reader, confidant, or storyteller?"
Even a zodiac sign could hear the undisguised sarcasm in Saratoga's words. She said loudly, "I'm currently reading Moment in Peking. It was recommended to me by Yixian. I heard it was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature."
"You also read 'Moment in Peking'?" Saratoga didn't believe it. She didn't know the book, but the title sounded great.
"I just feel sleepy after looking at it." Xingxing didn't pretend, she was always very honest. As she said this, she lay down on the table and yawned.
"I knew it...you idiot can't read."
"Can you read books?" Xingxing asked back.
"Of course I can." Saratoga counted on her fingers, "Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, The Red and the Black, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Sheffield Hall, Dead Souls..." Compared to Xingzhi who is an honest child, she prefers to pretend.
Constellation asked: "So many books, have you read them all?"
"Of course."
"What does Wuthering Heights say?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you...it must be talking about those messy things of the nobles."
Su Xia did not sit down like Saratoga and Constellation. He stood beside the tables and chairs, resting his hands on the tabletop and gazing at the boundless sea. Imagine sitting beside the tables and chairs with a book and a drink, reading in the sea breeze, occasionally looking up at the sea, taking a sip of the drink, and lying down to rest when tired. It's really nice.
"Good morning Lexington, and good morning Admiral."
"Good morning Gotland."
It wasn't until someone called out that Su Xia noticed someone passing by.
"Good morning." Since someone greeted him first, Su Xia would not be rude. He raised his hand to greet her. Then he found that the blonde girl was obviously stunned for a moment after seeing him greet her, and she staggered and almost fell down.
After the blonde girl walked away from the Guanhai Tower, Su Xia said, "Lexington, did you notice... that... Gotland was acting a little strange? I just said good morning to her and she seemed to be startled. She was walking normally, but suddenly she quickened her pace and almost bumped into the glass door when she went out."
"Of course I'd be surprised... the admiral who never looks anyone in the eye actually greets us," Lexington said.
Su Xia thought about what she had done in the game.
The game itself is a collection game, and the focus is on collecting all kinds of ship girls. There are hundreds of ship girls in the game, and how to treat them is a problem. Use the ones that can be used, and collect the ones that can't be used and ignore them. If the ship girl's equipment is good, you have to strip it in advance.
For quite a number of people, it is both strange and normal to suddenly see the admiral greeting them after being ignored by the admiral for a long time.
Think about it from another perspective. If your boss, who has always ignored you and looked on coldly, suddenly greets you, your only thought is that you are going to be fired, or there is a super difficult task waiting for you, otherwise why is he so friendly? You will really be scared.
Su Xia pursed her lips.
Lexington said: "Sometimes I really doubt that the admiral is not an admiral anymore, his personality has completely changed. But the feeling that belongs only to the admiral and the ship girl cannot be wrong, and those details have not changed." The look in his eyes when he peeked at everyone, the smile when he talked to Xiao Zhai, Xiao Hua, and Xiao Luo, the excitement when talking about the dark history of the ship girl, are exactly the same as before.
Lexington wondered, why would the admiral change?
He never lived in the garrison before, but now he is willing to stay in the garrison. Something must have happened. If that's the case, it's not surprising that his personality has changed. The admiral is not a bad guy. He just harasses everyone occasionally, gets tired of the old and loves the new, and scolds people when his attacks don't go well... He seems to have done a lot of bad things, but at least he never does anything that could cause the ship to sink.
After standing on the first floor for a while and not meeting anyone else, Su Xia suggested going to the apartment to take a look.
On the left hand side of the entrance to the single apartment is a small kitchen, the cabinets have been installed, there are range hoods and stoves, but other things such as rice cookers are missing. On the right is the bathroom, where the sink, toilet, bathtub and shower are squeezed together. Next is a very large room, which looks like a living room and bedroom connected together. There is nothing in it at the moment, but it seems that there is still plenty of space to put a sofa and a bed. Through the glass door is the balcony, with a panoramic view of the beach and the sea.
Standing on the balcony and looking at the sea, looking down, there is a golden beach. A woman with long brown hair on the roof of a villa not far away is looking over, and she waved to say hello. Su Xia looked back and found that she was the only one here. Remembering her identity as an admiral, she waved back and returned to the room.
It was really a very nice single apartment, and Su Xia wanted to decide on it almost immediately .
After seeing the one-bedroom and one-living-room apartments, they went on to look at apartments with two-bedrooms and one-living-room, three-bedrooms and two-living-rooms, four-bedrooms and two-living-rooms, super-large flats and duplexes. They hadn't seen the villas yet, and Su Xia felt she was already overwhelmed with choices.
I used to think that the facilities of a single apartment or a studio were just right, simple and clear. After looking at houses with multiple rooms , I heard that the large living room can be converted into a home bar, and the rooms other than the bedroom can be converted into a study, a small playground, a multimedia room, a small gym, a home KTV, a collection room, etc. There are many benefits to leaving a guest room for emergencies.
Then we went to see the villa, which is next to the Guanhai Tower.
The advantages of the villa are that the space is more three-dimensional, there are quite a lot of rooms, a private garden and an outdoor swimming pool, and a terrace for summer coolness and barbecue parties. There are also disadvantages. Climbing the stairs is really troublesome and the view is not that wide.
"What do you think, Admiral?" Lexington asked after walking around for a while .
"I feel that when I was looking at single apartments, they were good. When I was looking at large flats, they were good. Now I am looking at villas, and villas are also good. When I go to other places later, maybe other places are better. If I go back again, single apartments may be good again." Su Xia was really a little helpless and had difficulty making decisions.
"Let me take another look." Su Xia said, "I'll go to the garden and take a look."
Su Xia came to the garden, which was obviously lacking in maintenance. It was overgrown with weeds and fallen leaves. If she lived here, she would have to spend a lot of time taking care of the garden every day.
Su Xia walked along the green wall of shrubs, imagining what it would be like to live here in the future. Suddenly, he felt a pat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a figure walking out from the corner. The figure quickly reached out and grabbed his hand and pulled it to the corner.
Without waiting for him to ask, the woman raised her index finger to her lips.
Shh!
