Alone in a foreign land, as a stranger, she feels an even stronger longing for her family during the festive season.
For the company, she is not a native Asian; in terms of background, she has no connection to the ancient civilizations of the Old World. Logically, traditional Asian festivals like Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Duanwu Festival should have nothing to do with her. However, as the Year-End approaches, the entire Rongcheng is immersed in a festive atmosphere, with even the air seeming to carry a strong sense of celebration. Being in such an environment inevitably affects her.
After sending Chen Dong away, at the moment the door closed, the whole world seemed to quiet down.
The distant sounds of firecrackers and children's laughter faded away, leaving an eerie silence in the room, broken only by the faint ticking of the clock on the wall.
An iron door isolated her from the external noise and chaos, making her suddenly feel a sense of loneliness.
To be honest, she is not someone who wallows in melancholy; she is not as sentimental as Lin Daiyu. On the contrary, she dislikes such emotions.
"Those two little kids only know how to come over to mooch food and drinks. With New Year approaching, they don't even think to check on me—those ungrateful little brats." After cursing Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish to vent her frustration, she was about to go upstairs to continue reading when there was another knock at the door.
"Is this ever going to end?"
Since school started winter break, Chen Dong has been the first one to knock on her door every morning. And as long as she stays home, there are always visitors—without exception, they are all her suitors.
There's no helping it; for eligible young single men, this period before the Spring Festival is also tough. What parents aren't urging their children to marry? So during this time, there are even more people trying to get close to her.
Irritated, she ruffled her hair and pulled open the door. When she saw a young man standing outside, without thinking she said, "I'm already married and have two daughters. Could you please stop... bothering..."
"You’re married?" Chuyang was taken aback.
Well, why shouldn't she get married? Thinking this way, Chuyang awkwardly smiled and turned away while saying, "Then congratulations! I won't disturb you any longer."
"What kind of play is this?" Lexington standing nearby looked both amused and bewildered.
"Admiral?" Upon seeing Chuyang's face clearly, she froze and suddenly reacted by sharply saying, "Come back."
"Uh, that might not be convenient!" Chuyang instinctively replied without fully grasping the situation.
This guy still hasn't figured things out! He doesn't realize that Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish just left the company three months ago, and they clearly told him that the company hasn't been taken away by anyone and is still single.
However, when he suddenly heard that statement from the company, he was completely stunned. One thing he did understand clearly was that since the person was already married, his visit as a former Admiral could easily lead to misunderstandings with the company's husband, which is why Chuyang said such a thing.
"Not convenient? Nonsense, come in!" The company pulled Chuyang inside and then turned to greet Lexington. "Madam, please come in and have a seat."
"You’re married now, and you’re also a mother of two," Lexington teased.
"Admiral, are you out of your mind? Are you saying you're out of your mind too?" The company shot Lexington a glare and casually closed the door.
"Admiral, would you like something to drink?" After inviting both to sit on the sofa in the living room, the company walked toward the kitchen while asking, "Coffee, tea, or cola?"
"No need to be so troublesome; I’ll just have plain water," Chuyang replied, appearing slightly reserved compared to the easygoing company.
There was no helping it; for Chuyang, meeting the company for the first time felt no different than meeting a stranger.
"We don’t have plain water, Admiral; let me brew you some tea!"
"I want coffee, with extra milk and sugar," Lexington said.
"Do it yourself; take care of yourself," the company's voice came from the kitchen.
Although the company arrived at Naval Base quite late, she had a good relationship with Lexington since they were both Fleet Girls and Aircraft Carriers, so they felt quite familiar with each other.
"That's unfair treatment; who treats guests like this?" Even though Lexington said that, she still got up to head toward the kitchen, leaving Chuyang alone in the living room.
"Tell me! What’s going on?" The company lowered her voice as she walked into the kitchen with Lexington.
"What’s going on?" Lexington played dumb.
"Naval Base! You little brat, stop pretending." Saying this, the company shoved a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee into Lexington's hands.
"Now that's more like it!"
"Stop wasting time, just say it," the Enterprise urged.
The Admiral suddenly showed up. Despite the Enterprise's calm demeanor, she felt somewhat at a loss, unsure of how to face the Admiral.
"There's not much to say. Our previous Naval Base mysteriously vanished for some unknown reason, and everyone was simultaneously transported to various parts of the world by some mysterious force at the moment the Naval Base disappeared."
"That sounds like a myth."
"Do you not believe me?"
"I do."
The Enterprise had no choice but to believe it. Just her experiences with Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish were enough to illustrate this point.
Before going to sleep, they were all comfortably lying in their respective rooms in the Naval Base. When she woke up, she found herself in Rongcheng, while Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish were in South America. Although according to the calendar, she left the Naval Base a day earlier than the two Submarine girls, in reality, it was just due to time zone differences. Essentially, they all left the Naval Base on the same day.
But one must understand that Asia and South America are separated by thousands of miles. Even if the Naval Base were located at the midpoint of a straight line between the two, and they all departed from the Naval Base at the same time—heading towards Asia and South America—there's no way they could reach their destinations in just one night. Even half a month wouldn't be enough. Thus, only Lexington's vague explanation could account for everything that had happened.
"What about the Admiral? Wasn't he never present at the Naval Base before? Where did you find him?"
"It wasn't me who found the Admiral; it was the Admiral who found me. Never mind, I can't explain it all right now. Let's go out first, and later the Admiral can explain everything to you."
