Chapter 79: Mentality
Missouri did not pursue the victory, as the old saying goes, don't pursue a desperate enemy.
Of course, there are also great men who say that it is better to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy, but that is another matter.
They lay on the beach for a while.
Missouri stood up first and said, "Admiral, let's go. It's not over yet."
"It's not over yet... where to go?"
"Just ahead."
Missouri strode forward, and her sandals had long been thrown away. Su Xia looked back and saw that the beach, which was originally filled with sand castles, walls, towers, etc., was now a mess. He flattened the last bit of the foundation of the sand castle and turned to catch up with Missouri.
Missouri walked to a small house, lifted the shutter, pushed open the glass door, and turned on the light. Su Xia could see clearly that it was a barbecue house. It was more like a combination of a barbecue house and a convenience store, and it seemed to sell a variety of goods.
"Coke, Sprite or beer." Missouri found the refrigerator.
Su Xia didn't like alcohol , she only drank it when she was drinking with others, and she said at that time: "Coke."
"Beer, only beer." Missouri reached out and touched the gray can without even looking at the Coke.
Su Xia took the beer that was flying over. It was icy cold and still emitting white cool air.
He felt a little helpless and said, "I don't believe it's just beer."
"Only beer is served tonight," Missouri said. "Barbecue must be paired with beer... How do you turn on this barbecue?"
Su Xia didn't change the beer in the end. He pulled the pull ring and took a sip of beer. He walked to the barbecue grill and saw that no matter how Missouri fiddled with the switch, the red indicator light on the barbecue grill didn't respond at all. He squatted down to take a look and complained, "The power supply is not plugged in. You definitely can't turn it on."
Missouri looked a little embarrassed. She squatted down to plug in the power cord. While waiting for the grill to heat up, she pushed open the glass door of the freezer next to the grill and asked, "What do you want to eat, Admiral?"
Su Xia asked: "Are you sure you can grill?"
"No." Missouri said without hiding anything. "So I'll leave it to you, Admiral. I want a large chicken wing and a squid... I'm covered in sand and salt from dried seawater. I can't stand it. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first."
Missouri ran away, leaving Su Xia standing in front of the grill. He looked around and walked to the freezer. He first took a large chicken wing, then five skewers of squid. He wanted to eat grilled oysters, but he had never grilled them before, so he finally decided on leeks, chicken legs, and lamb skewers.
Su Xia is not a professional, but barbecue doesn't require expertise, as long as it doesn't burn. Oil, honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cumin powder, chili powder... He always uses all the seasonings and never wastes them.
Missouri wasn’t gone for long.
Su Xia turned around when she heard footsteps, and saw Missouri coming out in a swimsuit. The "eight"-shaped swimsuit top was fixed by a ring hanging from the neck strap, and it seemed that only two straps covered the chest, and the exposed area was really a bit exaggerated. There were not many better swimming trunks.
"Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking..." Missouri noticed Su Xia's gaze, but smiled the next second, "Yes, I did it on purpose, what do you think, Admiral?"
As she spoke, she put one hand on her waist and the other behind her head, and said, "I always think that if you like someone, you should say it openly. Show your charm instead of hiding it. I am very confident about my figure and my taste..."
"I still feel a little pressured by the 'V' bikini worn by the Prince of Wales," Missouri said, thinking that such a swimsuit cannot be managed without rich capital. So why did Veneto dare to challenge?
"Yours is no worse than hers." Su Xia said, continue grilling, sister, are you too bold?
Missouri said disdainfully, "Admiral, is this all you can say after you saw my swimsuit?"
"What else?"
"Nosebleed."
"That kind of plot only happens in anime."
"Can't control your animal instincts?"
"I don't think I can beat you." Su Xia smiled.
Missouri was given the task of grilling meat, and Su Xia was going to take a shower. The sand and salt on his body really made him uncomfortable. Then he found a problem. There were no men's swimming trunks in this store, only girls'. However, he found a pair of shorts that looked like they were unisex.
When Su Xia was ready and came out of the shower, she found that Missouri had set up a table on the beach, with all the barbecues on plates on the table. He had added some other food to the grill and was sitting at the table eating grilled squid.
Her movements were not graceful, but in any case, as long as such a beautiful woman in a swimsuit did not move in an ugly way, she would at least be pleasing to the eye.
Missouri stared at Su Xia and said, "The admiral's figure is not good."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Not disappointed. I was prepared and now it looks much better than expected, it's a pleasant surprise."
"I used to have abdominal muscles too."
“Why not?”
"Ask what you have in your hand."
Missouri glanced at the remaining bamboo sticks in his hand, then looked at Su Xia and said, "The Admiral needs to exercise."
"Lexington said I had the perfect size and was the perfect fit."
Missouri waved the bamboo stick and asked, "What do you think?"
Su Xia laughed, sat down at the table, reached out and picked up the roasted leeks, which were a little burnt.
"Where's your beer?" Missouri asked.
Su Xia looked around and ran to the barbecue grill to find his can of beer.
"cheers."
Missouri raised his beer and they clinked it.
They ate barbecue, drank, and chatted about the garrison and their respective preferences.
Missouri complained about her sister New Jersey because she couldn't stand her elder sister Iowa's nagging about running away from home. She stayed in Indiana for two days, in the North for two days, in New Mexico for two days, and in Maryland for two days. She just didn't want to go home. She hadn't been home for a long time and didn't have a fixed place to live.
And her sister Wisconsin, who always stirs up trouble, will eventually get into trouble. Just laugh at her laughter, she has a strong desire for revenge.
Lian Lian suggested that everyone should make an appointment to go and bully Hindenburg together. Bullying Hindenburg is the most interesting thing. The girl who looks crazy is actually a fool.
Su Xia said that you can only know a person's face but not his heart. You can only draw the skin of a tiger but not its bones. Mu Ao had such a sinister intention. He trusted her so much, but he didn't expect to encounter such an ending. The most hateful thing was that someone actually discovered the clues. He was actually looking forward to it.
It was repeatedly emphasized that the secretary ship L20 was not seen all day, and it was so irresponsible as a secretary ship.
The barbecue was almost finished, and there was still a plate left that no one touched. It was completely cold, regardless of the several skewers of charred beef placed next to the barbecue grill. Everyone drank several cans of beer. In the end, they also cut a watermelon. Su Xia looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning, close to three o'clock.
"It's almost three o'clock." Su Xia said, and it was obvious whether everyone should go home.
Missouri said, "As long as the admiral feels he has fun, that's all."
"It's okay." Su Xia sincerely felt that it was okay.
They cleaned up briefly, turned off the lights, closed the rolling door, and when everything was over, they left in their swimsuits, carrying their changed clothes.
Passing by the beach where the motorboat was moored, Su Xia went to get her shoes and some daily necessities from the supermarket nearby.
Missouri lives in a nearby villa, while Suxia lives a little further away.
At the entrance of the villa, Missouri faced the sea breeze, which made her long hair dance. She said, "Admiral, next time you have troubles, just look for Missouri. Missouri won't ask you why you are troubled. We can just do it like tonight, drive a motorboat, do some damage, eat something, drink something, and finally take a walk."
"Okay." Su Xia said.
"That's it. The Guanhai Tower is just ahead. Admiral, take care... Admiral, do you have anything to say?"
Su Xia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Um, what's Missouri's cell phone number?"
Missouri smiled, gave her mobile number, and this time took the initiative to ask: "Is there a chat app? Let's add it..."
Missouri walked into the garden of the villa, clutching her cell phone tightly.
Lexington asked if he got home safely, but he didn't reply. He pretended not to notice. Su Xia looked through the photos of Missouri in the chat software. There were still many things to see.
Su Xia took a look and put away her phone, thinking that she would have to take a shower and brush her teeth when she got home, and wash and . She played so late today and didn't know if she could get up properly every day. Then, she didn't know what to do... She slowly walked towards the Guanhai Tower.
Su Xia finally stood in front of the Guanhai Tower, in front of the brightly lit first-floor lobby, looking at the sea. It seemed that the future was not so scary after all.
