Chapter 67 Interlude
I took a walk with Shengwang in the morning and just passed by the commercial building but didn't go in. This time I finally have the chance to go in and take a look.
A supermarket is located on the ground floor.
It was called a big supermarket, but in fact it only took up a small area, after all, it only served a garrison of a few hundred people. It was unknown whether there was something fishy going on, but Su Xia was more concerned about the pretty cashier in a white and green vertical striped short-sleeved uniform lying on the cash register at the entrance of the supermarket, playing with her phone.
I heard from Reputation that this supermarket is run by Japanese, so it must be a Japanese girl. She has long smooth black hair, a pretty face, and a pretty good figure. At least the uniform makes her look bulging, so let's exclude the heavy cruiser Aoba.
As he entered the supermarket, Lexington picked up a shopping basket at the entrance.
Su Xia saw it, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Lexington, give it to me, I'll take it."
"It's okay, I'll take it..." Lexington paused and handed the shopping basket to Su Xia.
Su Xia took the shopping basket and joked, "Didn't you just say 'I can take it'?"
Lexington smiled and said, "Isn't that to satisfy the admiral's desire as a man to take care of girls?" As a good wife, she must know how to take care of her husband's feelings. A wife who only knows how to let her husband rest while she is busy is not a good wife, and she ignores her husband's psychological need to be "needed."
"I'm not that kind of gentleman." Su Xia said with a smile.
Lexington replied: "I think you are that kind of gentleman."
Su Xia always felt that there was something else behind Lexington's words. He wondered if it was because when he entered the supermarket, the first thing he saw when he looked at the cashier was her chest?
Are you that sharp-eyed? It’s just a moment’s glance.
Any boy who is open-minded will inevitably take a look at beautiful girls. That is not a "gentlemanly" behavior, it is purely subconscious behavior. It is said that someone did an experiment and found that even if you deliberately control yourself to only look at the face when looking at a girl, that line of sight is sometimes not something you can control. Or does the more you control it, the more you care?
When passing by the shelves, Su Xia found that there were all kinds of products in Chinese, Japanese, and English. However, just by looking at the pictures and packaging, you can tell what it is, whether it is luncheon meat or canned fish with black beans, the ketchup packaging must be red, and the potato chip packaging must be inflatable, but there are still some that I don't recognize.
I didn't see any shampoo I often use, and the prices were all expensive, which made Su Xia feel a bit of a headache. Most men care about their reputation, and he doesn't care about too much. Too cheap is not good, but too expensive is better. Shampoo that costs four figures doesn't seem to be for washing hair.
"Admiral, please take as much as you want. You can get reimbursed," Lexington reminded.
"Can it still be reimbursed?" Su Xia said, "Then I'll take the most expensive one. The most expensive one is definitely the best."
"sure."
"Forget it, it won't have a good impact." Su Xia didn't know which shampoo was better, so she picked up a medium-priced shampoo and asked curiously, "If I want to be reimbursed as an admiral, do I have to write a note and sign it myself?"
"Strictly speaking, the garrison does not belong to the admiral alone, but to the admiral and the ship girl." Lexington said, "According to the process, even the admiral must get the finance signature."
“Who’s the finance guy?”
"Aren't you too incompetent?" Lexington said. "The finances are mainly managed by Wisconsin."
"Wisconsin?" Su Xia muttered the name. He had a feeling that the girl was very capable of causing trouble and he would definitely be in trouble if he met her.
Lexington saw the shampoo Sushant was holding and asked, "Does the Admiral like this?"
"I just picked it up randomly. I think any shampoo would be the same."
"Admiral, can I touch your hair?"
"Sure." Su Xia said. He understood why Lexington wanted to touch his hair, to find out his hair quality, to help him choose shampoo... But a minute had passed still hadn't finished touching his hair, especially when he was petting like a pet. He couldn't help but ask, "Not done yet?"
"I'm not very good at it either, so it will take me a little longer." Lexington calmly withdrew his hand and picked up a bottle of shampoo from the shelf. It was of medium price. "I recommend this to the admiral."
"Then this one."
Then, from shampoo to facial cleanser, to shower gel, and toothbrushes and towels, all were recommended by Lexington. Su Xia was like a puppet. Daily necessities were bought, but since we were in the supermarket, it was not easy to leave. We had to check out the snack area.
They headed to the snack area, and Su Xia suddenly saw a familiar person, who said, "Lexington, you choose first, I have something to do."
Su Xia put down the shopping basket and walked towards the short-haired girl who was standing by the shelf with the shopping basket at her feet and looking at something carefully, and shouted, "Zuihe."
Zuikaku was not waiting in the supermarket, she came here purely to buy some snacks. She didn't know what this cookie tasted like, salty or sweet, and she couldn't understand whether it was in Russian or French on the package. Suddenly, she saw the person she cared about next to her, and was stunned for a moment.
Zuikaku quickly came to his senses and replied indifferently, "Admiral."
There was no other reason why Su Xia looked for Zuikaku. Of course, he liked Zuikaku very much, but the main reason was because of what happened last night - he was drunk, and Mutsu asked Zuikaku to help him go home, but he thought he was dreaming about molesting Zuikaku.
Su Xia was actually hesitating whether to apologize or just pretend nothing happened to avoid embarrassment. After thinking for a long time, she decided to apologize, but even so, she was still a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Um..."
"What's the matter?" Zuikaku put down the biscuits, picked up a box of cake and looked at the label, acting as if he didn't care.
"Just, about what happened last night..." Su Xia was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."
Zuikaku thought about what happened that night again, when someone was lying on top of her, saying nonsense and touching her. Of course, she was very concerned and didn't know how to respond. She put down the cake and picked up another kind of dessert. After thinking for a while, she said calmly: "If you weren't drunk, I would have hit you."
"Really, I was drunk and confused, and I thought it was a dream." Su Xia explained.
"Is it okay to just dream?" Zuikaku asked.
Su Xia was speechless for a moment, and stammered: "Well, if it's a dream, how can I say that Ruihe is so beautiful..."
"Okay, I got it." Zuikaku put the snack down again and squatted on the ground to look at the lower shelf.
The admiral must like me. If he doesn't like me, he wouldn't even dream of touching me. I just like the admiral. Why shouldn't I admit it? In order to get the admiral, Mutsu actually got him drunk. I can do the same. Passive waiting will lead to nothing. I must take the initiative. Zuikaku made up her mind . She is not a tsundere.
Zuikaku stood up, picked up another snack and looked at the packaging, then leaned against the shelf and said, "A verbal apology will suffice. There is no such easy thing in the world... If you really want to apologize, buy me a midnight snack later."
"It may not work later... Lexington and I are here." Su Xia said hesitantly. He was thinking that the shopping was not over yet, and it would be better to treat Zuikaku to a midnight snack alone to apologize. The relationship between Lexington and Zuikaku was not simple. At least in history, the Lexington was sunk by the Zuikaku... In fact, it was a torpedo punishment given by the destroyer Phelps.
I didn't notice it before. Zuikaku turned around and saw Lexington standing not far away. She felt embarrassed and her face turned red for a moment. Then, without waiting for Suxia to suggest that they could treat each other to a midnight snack later or another day after finishing the things at hand, she said, "That's it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Zuikaku put down the snacks in his hand and turned away, walking towards the cashier counter, ready to pay and leave quickly, when he suddenly discovered that there was no one at the cashier counter.
The black-haired girl who was the cashier tonight ran out from somewhere and said, "I had the courage to invite the goddess, but who knew she was dating her boyfriend... No, I invited the male god, but who knew he was dating his girlfriend... Poor Zuikaku."
"Shut up." Zuikaku was furious. She still felt embarrassed. "You actually eavesdropped on our conversation."
"No, I just happened to be passing by." The black-haired girl said, "Uh, Zuikaku, the admiral wants to apologize to you for what happened last night."
"Nothing happened." Zuikaku picked up the bag, "And I'm not summoning up any courage, I'm just inviting you casually... Lexington is a wedding ship, and I'm also a wedding ship, we are equals... I'm too lazy to talk to you, I have something else to do and I'm leaving."
The black-haired girl watched Zuikaku leave with the bag and she shouted, "You haven't paid yet."
"I won't pay, come and hit me." Zuikaku turned around.
"If you don't want to pay, then don't pay." The black-haired girl muttered.
At the same time, Lexington watched Zuikaku leave, walked over to Suxia, and asked, "Why did Zuikaku leave so suddenly?"
"I don't know either." Su Xia replied. He really didn't understand the situation.
Lexington thought about it, but couldn't figure it out: "Forget about her, let's continue shopping."
After this little episode, they continued shopping, buying daily necessities and some snacks.
Lexington asked as they walked out of the supermarket, "Admiral, are you going to go back now, or go shopping?"
"Whatever."
"Since we are here, let's go shopping."
"Sure." Su Xia actually wanted to go shopping, but she just answered subconsciously.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. Just walk around. You don't have to go anywhere."
"Let's go, then," Lexington said.
From the outside, the commercial building is just an ordinary building. Of course, it looks very beautiful and modern with curtain walls, which makes it not ordinary at all. But from the inside, the commercial building is an "O" shape or a "mouth" shape. They stood in the atrium, and many people on the second and third floors were holding the railings and looking at them.
