Journey with the Ship Girl

What's the matter with this atmosphere where only I can't do it?

What's the matter with the feeling that I don't fit in with you?

Chapter 19 Detective Birmingham

It was already very hot in the afternoon, especially in District M, which is said to be a place where people suffer from heatstroke during New Year's Day. The hot and humid air makes people drowsy.Blazing white light poured down along the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a plate of mosquito coils was lit in the corner, and the fire burned through bit by bit, and the mosquito coil ash fell into the ashtray below.

A long strip of sofas surrounds the center of the living room. There is a large pile of iced drinks on the coffee table. Tirpitz slumped comfortably on the sofa without any scruples about his image. He picked up a can of Coke and drank it. Take a sip: "Puff, comfortable, iced drinks are the most comfortable on a hot day."

The sofa is big enough for everyone to lie on it in a mess. After changing the slippers, Birmingham originally wanted to make some tea for a token, but she suddenly felt a little strange holding the kettle in her hand.

There was a voice in the kitchen: "Do you want any snacks? There are cream ice cream, strawberry ice cream, condensed milk sorbet and various popsicles. I like ice cream the most."

Tirpitz said: "I want to eat popsicles, the kind that can be broken in half at once."

"Second Sister, you forgot the best thing," Denver yelled in the living room, "Stop hiding, move out that ice cream cake, it happens to be tea time."

"No more, it seems to have been stolen and eaten by someone."

"You stole it again?"

"No, no matter what you think, it's Birmingham. You can ask her for it."

Cleveland took off her sun protection jacket and put it casually on the back of the sofa, revealing the tight vest underneath, she looked excited: "Okay, everyone settle down quickly, we will buy some meat and vegetables when we come back tonight , Yixian will be the chef."

Birmingham didn't respond. Really, what's the matter with you, why do you seem to have returned to your own home?

Just now they ran back bustlingly, and Birmingham followed back dazedly. Ye Luo was urged to take a bath immediately, which already surprised her a bit.Shouldn't we go to the upstairs guest room?

And there was no greeting. After entering the door and bringing slippers, they ran to do their own things. The sisters didn't have any hospitality at all. Is this really okay?

For hospitality, you should not make tea, sit upright, and say a few words of courtesy, and then get acquainted with each other a little bit, and finally everyone will play something together, and then have a meal, and wait until the level where you can joke casually, it will be night anyway.

You guys look really familiar. Birmingham is a little dazed. Her common sense tells her that something is wrong, but she doesn't know what's wrong, especially when she sees her sisters all look normal. I even doubted myself a little: Is it her own problem?

Is it the same process for others to catch a boat and be caught, just meet and hug, and then you can take it home?

Which free ship lady is not a big girl, even if she has seen many examples of ship girls being taken away before, it is the first time for Birmingham to receive a commander so intimately.

The company walked around the living room, probably walking dozens or hundreds of steps, and then looked at the stairs hidden next to the bathroom and the circular corridor on the second floor above the head. The kitchen is also very spacious, and the dining table under the chandelier is covered with The marble pattern, the company tapped it curiously, as if it was carved out of stone.

"You seem to live well, have you lived here all the time?"

"I didn't live there all the time, I just moved in later," Cleveland urged with a few suitcases in his hands, "Let's go clean up the room first, there are no bedrooms on the first floor, and only Birmingham lives on the second floor, so there are still rooms left." The next three rooms, one large room and two small rooms."

Tirpitz lazily responded, she didn't want to move, so she hinted at others with her eyes, Denver, Montpellier, you go and help, I'm exhausted.

Pretending not to see it, Denver whistled and ran into the kitchen. Montpellier rummaged around, took out various snacks from many boxes and cabinets and put them on a plate, and looked at Tirpitz , Why does this person look like he is waiting for others to feed him? It feels a little disgusting, so just put it on the coffee table.

It’s unreliable, Tirpitz sighed so, then slumped on the sofa and stretched his arms trying to reach the snacks on the plate, rubbing his face against the soft sofa armrests, just didn’t want to sit up, it looked like It's a bunch of big caterpillars.

Sure enough, Enterprise and Yixian were relatively calm, and followed Cleveland upstairs with their luggage. Ye Luo was urged to take a bath just now, and came out sweating.Yixian opened a box, found a clean men's pajamas from inside, put it down after thinking about it, and then asked: "Cleveland, is there anything important that needs to go out later?"

"Ah? It's fine for the commander to wear pajamas for the time being. We will go out to work later. You have been on the boat for so long, just take a good rest."

Cleveland took out extra quilts and quilts from the cabinet. The guest room looks quite big, but there are no extra decorations. The hanging air conditioner is installed above the window. It looks like an ordinary desk and dresser, next to the double bed There are light yellow floor lamps and low cabinets of the same color.

Throwing the quilt on the bed, Cleveland suddenly asked, "By the way, how many rooms do you want to sleep in? Are you sure you need to tidy up all three?"

Enterprise was stunned for a moment: "Of course there are three rooms. I, Tirpitz and Yixian should sleep separately if possible. One bed is a bit crowded."

"Then how are you going to allocate the rooms? In the guest room, only this one has a double bed, and the other two have single beds. If the three of you sleep separately, who will sleep in this one?"

The air was suddenly a little quiet, Enterprise and Yixian looked at each other in blank dismay, what should I say?Enterprise thought about whether he should be a little more reserved, but Yixian didn't have a ring yet.But along the way, Ye Luo often went out for a walk with Yixian alone, and it seemed that their relationship warmed up very quickly. At this time, it was hard to say whether it was polite or not.

Cleveland glanced at them, and said: "Maybe there is another good way. The commander can sleep with me or Mengbi, or I can sleep with Mengbi, and I can make a bed-you don't have to. No matter what, there is always a way.”

Before asking, Cleveland thought it must be the company. After all, no matter how close the relationship is, the only person who can sleep with the commander is the married ship. Unexpectedly, the company and Yixian looked at each other. It's hard to say now.

Is Yixian about to get the ring?Cleveland doesn't know what's going on with them, but it doesn't matter anyway, we're going to sleep together and talk tonight.

So all was well, and the room was quickly cleaned up. A few girls went downstairs together, and Enterprise picked up a bottle of drink: "Tirpitz, your room is the single room next to the stairs on the second floor."

"it is good."

Tirpitz agreed casually. She had already found a comfortable angle to lie on the sofa, and she could reach for the snacks. At this time, she shouted again: "Columbia, do you have a straw? It should be longer and bend. "This guy likes to push his feet."

Yixian ran to deliver clothes to Ye Luo with his pajamas in his arms. Cleveland breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of his drink, and asked a little strangely, "Birmingham, what are you doing with the kettle?"

"Ah? Ahh, I boiled water just now and wanted to make tea for everyone," Birmingham immediately pretended to be looking around for tea leaves, "I was wondering where the tea leaves and cups are, and I was in a daze."

"Oh, don't bother, they don't like this...Enterprise, do you like it?"

"Don't be so busy, my own people, don't be polite. I started to pack my luggage on the boat early this morning, and I didn't stop until I got off the boat just now, and I kept spinning," Enterprise pushed Tirpitz's shoulder hard, letting her Sit up obediently, and sit on the sofa with a sigh of relief, "Take a break. Well, I just heard what Denver said about ice cream cakes, can I have some?"

Columbia came out holding the cake with lowered eyebrows: "I'm sorry, I'm guilty, I shouldn't try to hide the cake. Denver, don't you keep staring at me, go stare at the third child, you go to her clothes closet, There must be a lot of interesting stuff in there."

Montpellier showed a flustered look for a while.

Birmingham was holding the hot water bottle, with an indescribably complicated expression on his face. Really, it's not just pretending, you seem to have a really good relationship.

In fact, a good relationship does not mean that when you are a guest, the host will serve tea and pour water, smile all over your face, and be attentive and take care of everything. Being polite is being polite.What is a really good relationship? You don’t need to bring a gift when you enter the door, you can open your refrigerator on your own, and you can just slump on the sofa casually, and you don’t care about your image.

If it's between boys, it's even easier. When you enter the door, you just shout: "Son, dad is coming to see you!"

These are usually true friends.

Obviously, these "guests" who had just been received on the pier seemed to be too familiar with the Cleveland sisters.
