Chapter 86 The Small House Collapses
A perfect end to the performance.
Xiao Zhai took the phone from the windowsill and returned it to Xiao Hua.
Yes, Xiao Zhai certainly doesn’t have that much ability, but it’s different for Xiao Hua, who is a little scholar.
Su Xia looked at Xiao Hua. It was indeed the speech you prepared. You could tell from the first sentence that it was adapted from Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But there was something else mixed in.
"What the hell are you doing..." Su Xia couldn't help herself just now, but she calmed down.
Xiao Zhai took the camera from Xiao Hua and wanted to see how the filming was going to turn out. He said, "You promised us this. This is the evidence. We filmed it all."
"So what if there is evidence?" Su Xia laughed, very happily. Shameless adults are invincible.
"You, Admiral, do you want to break your promise?" Xiao Zhai said.
"I don't keep my word." Su Xia was of course joking, "What are you going to do to me?"
"In that case," Xiao Zhai raised the camera high and pretended to drop it, "It's better not to have such an admiral."
Su Xia laughed out loud and couldn't help pinching Xiao Zhai's face.
Su Xia took the camera from Xiao Zhai's hand and sat on the chair by the window. After some trouble, he found that he had no idea how to use the camera. He had never been a photography enthusiast. He only needed a mobile phone to take pictures occasionally. This was his first time using a camera.
Of course, Su Xia would not ask the little guys how to operate the camera, otherwise it would be too uncool and damage the image of the cool and handsome admiral.
In order to cover up the embarrassment of not being able to operate the camera, Su Xia pretended to fiddle with it, then casually placed the camera on a table not far away and said , "Xiao Zhai, I remember your dream is to fill the port area with everyone's laughter, right?"
Su Xia remembered very clearly that Xiao Zhai's appearance lines in the game were exactly like that, he had a very great wish.
"Yeah." Xiao Zhai nodded repeatedly.
"So..." Su Xia paused, organizing his words in his mind. He never thought he was that smart. He was not stupid anyway, and he could see through the little Loli's tricks. "You posted the proposal mainly in the hope of..."
"Wait a minute. " Xiao Zhai interrupted, "It's not me, it's us."
" It's you, not us." Xiaohua said, first disassociating himself from the matter.
"You participated, too." Xiao Zhai said, "You revised the proposal."
"You were the one who insisted that I help you check it," Xiaohua grumbled, "There are a lot of typos, it doesn't flow smoothly, and the idioms are used incorrectly."
Xiao Hua said loudly: "And when you asked me to help you revise it, we agreed that if the truth came out, you would never betray me and take all the responsibility alone."
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Xiao Zhai recalled that incident and felt a little embarrassed. She was still a child and still had to have some dignity. "Okay, I'll treat you to ice cream."
Xiaohua said loudly: "Ten."
"Ten is ten."
Since they were all criminals anyway, Su Xia wasn't interested in who was the main criminal and who was the accomplice. Of course, those who were coerced like Xiao Luo didn't count. After the two little guys finished arguing, Su Xia leaned against the wall, crossed his legs, and said, "So you posted the proposal mainly to make me... feel oppressed?"
"That's indeed a method," Su Xia said, "but does it really work to rely on threats? Threats only get false affection, not willingness. And have you ever thought about it, relying on threats to make people become so-called good admirals is like compressing a spring with force. Once the force is gone, the spring will bounce back."
"I have thought about it. Of course I have thought about it."
"You actually thought about it..." Su Xia was surprised.
"You used to run the garrison as if you were playing a mobile game. You would come occasionally to arrange sorties, exercises, and expeditions. You never interacted properly with everyone." Xiao Zhai said, "You didn't interact properly, and then, you didn't invest your feelings. You just ran the garrison casually, and it ended up being a vicious cycle."
Su Xia thought, isn’t it just a mobile game?
"We don't expect you to manage the tutelary fort. Everyone will be able to manage it. As long as you treat everyone nicely, everything will be fine." Xiao Zhai said, "I believe it. No matter what method you use, as long as you get in touch with everyone and see their charming side, you will definitely fall in love with them and become emotionally invested in them."
Xiao Zhai continued, "Even if they use the proposal to scare you, as long as you treat everyone well, everyone will treat you ten times or a hundred times better, and you will treat everyone well again. This is a virtuous cycle."
"You are now in contact with Rokuta, Taitai, Gaga, and Xingxing... Mutsu is a bit too much, but getting the admiral drunk in order to get the admiral she likes is also cute, isn't it? What do you think of them now? Are you in love with them?"
"I don't know if I've fallen in love with them." Su Xia smiled, "Now I've fallen in love with Xiao Zhai."
Xiao Zhai suddenly became embarrassed, his face flushed, and after a while he calmed down and almost shouted: "I'm serious with you, not joking."
"I'm serious." Su Xia said. He really likes this little house which is the cutest in the world, full of action, and wishes the port area to be filled with everyone's laughter.
"Anyway," Xiao Zhai decided to ignore Su Xia. If he was a bad admiral, he would bully others. "Anyway, even if the means are a little bad, as long as the result is good, it's fine."
"Evidence obtained through irregular means cannot be used as evidence." Xiaohua interrupted, "I don't agree with Xiaozhai's doing that, but she insisted on doing it."
Su Xia narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Zhai, you think that as long as the result is good, it's fine... Can you guarantee me that I will definitely see everyone's charm and like everyone?"
"Have you ever thought that because of that letter of appeal, I might be afraid of getting hurt, and flee the tutelary fort at the first opportunity? Or that I might live in constant fear of getting hurt, and suddenly collapse one day? Or that I might suspect everyone I see is the one who posted the letter of appeal, and not only would I not like everyone, I would stay away from them..."
"I, I..." Xiao Zhai lowered her head, put her hands behind her back, and stepped on the floor repeatedly, looking uneasy. She obviously didn't think too much and just thought about the good side.
"Why don't you discuss it with the admiral? Maybe it won't be that troublesome at all." Su Xia said.
"Because, because the admiral used to..." Xiao Zhai picked his hair at the temples.
"Because the admiral behaved so badly before, I didn't dare to tell the admiral?" Su Xia said, "Is Xiao Zhai so weak? In my impression, Xiao Zhai should be braver. He would suddenly come out and say that you are in great trouble. He would insist that I call CV-16 Sixteen Tai and set up the Tirpitz Regiment to save and transform the admiral, abbreviated as ZTT Regiment..."
Xiao Zhai bit her lip, she was embarrassed to say - Xiao Zhai had never been so courageous, she just rehearsed many times in advance, thought many times about what to do, and forced herself to do it, just to fill the port area with everyone's laughter.
"No problem." Su Xia said, "There's no need to resort to any tricks. Just talk to the admiral nicely. The admiral has no way of rejecting Xiao Zhai."
Xiao Zhai sniffed, raised his head, and almost cried.
He almost burst into tears, but Xiao Zhai was very strong.
In order to make this port area full of everyone's laughter, Xiao Zhai has thought of many things.
Xiaohua will always say no, we must plan carefully before taking action, make thorough preparations, and plan perfectly.
Xiao Luo doesn't know anything at all, she's just a kid.
Obviously, just being cute is enough, and Xiao Zhai is definitely the cutest one, but cuteness cannot save the naval base.
Xiao Zhai really feels so tired, so tired.
"Admiral..." Xiao Zhai really couldn't help it, she hugged Su Xia.
Su Xia looked at Xiao Zhai and rushed over, then hugged him tightly.
Xiao Zhai was sincere, but he kept saying nice things and only cared about bullying the little loli. Even the last sentence was a joke, Su Xia felt ashamed. For this reason, his hands froze in the air, and he didn't dare to hug Xiao Zhai gently, because he was not qualified.
Finally, Su Xia hugged Xiao Zhai and gently stroked her back and her hair.
Xiao Zhai hugged him tighter, clenched his clothes with both hands, and finally burst into tears.
After all, he is just a child.
