Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue, and wherever there is Admiral, there are always some very annoying "European White Monkeys." Even though Zhang Jianlin was no longer an Admiral, when Lexington mentioned his name, he still felt a thousand points of damage to his heart.
Back then, he was a thorough European, owning Hiyou and Guam, basking in the glory of being the center of attention. At that time, he never imagined that one day he would be overshadowed by others. Now, he sensed a strong aura of malice from Chuyang, a deep-seated hostility coming from the European side.
"Eat this!" He hurled his chopsticks straight at Chuyang. Putting feelings aside and commenting objectively, whether it was his Wedding Ship Battleship Hiyou or the battlecruiser Guam as a Firepower Role, compared to the all-around wife, they were nothing more than country bumpkins.
"Tell me how you managed to snag Lexington; I never saw it coming."
"Brother Zhang, I knew Lexington before. We just separated for certain reasons, so you know."
"I don't know anything! You damn European spy."
Chuyang's words made Zhang Jianlin feel his heart bleed. He had previously thought this kid was a complete African Admiral and had even advised him more than once not to be too obsessed with Fleet Girls; being an ordinary person wasn't bad either. But this kid? Just the day before, he had brought home a relatively rare British G-Class Shipgirl named Firefly from the Destroyer category, and today he directly brought back the perfect wife Lexington, who was among the few in the world. What else could he be but an alliance spy among the vast tribe warriors? Someone bring me my Chieftain's spear; I want to stab this guy.
"You leave, and I'll pretend I don't have you as a friend. Move out by tomorrow."
After some playful banter, Zhang Jianlin's expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at Chuyang and said earnestly, "Treasure it well."
"Yes." Chuyang nodded solemnly. He understood Zhang Jianlin's concern that he might become reckless after getting Lexington and end up with a similar fate.
However, even without Zhang Jianlin's reminder, Chuyang would not make such a mistake. For him: money doesn't need to be too much; just enough to spend is fine. The house doesn't need to be too big; just enough to live in is good. Rank doesn't have to be too high; Lieutenant Junior Grade is sufficient. Therefore, he would never let his Fleet Girls fall into danger for some worthless Merit. The most important thing for a family is harmony.
“Yamato, a kid named Ye Zhengyang came looking for you today, saying he’s your classmate.”
“Where is he?” Chuyang asked.
Ye Zhengyang was one of the few friends he had at the academy. Their relationship was the kind where “for a brother, one could take a knife to the side; for a wife, one could stab a brother twice.”
This time, Ye Zhengyang had been assigned to the Southeast Region's Nearshore Naval Base, which was quite far from his own Southwest Coast and belonged to a different Battle Zone. If they wanted to meet in the future, it would be more difficult.
Originally, after the Naval Base assignment meeting yesterday, Chuyang had planned to sit down with this guy and have a couple of drinks. But as soon as the meeting ended, Ye Zhengyang took off with his Fleet Girls, leaving him no chance.
Just when Chuyang thought about gathering with Ye Zhengyang after retrieving Lexington, he didn’t expect this guy to come looking for him first.
“He left when he saw you weren’t around.” Saying this, Zhang Jianlin picked up an Invitation from under the coffee table and tossed it to Chuyang. “He asked me to give you this Invitation and invited you to a class reunion this Thursday night.”
“A reunion?”
“Yeah! I’m not saying this just because, but you young people really know how to have fun. It’s just a simple class reunion! Why does it have to be so formal? They even made an Invitation.” Zhang Jianlin commented. However, it seemed that he was only 27 himself, not much older than Chuyang, yet he spoke like an elder lecturing a younger person.
As Zhang Jianlin said, this Invitation looked like it was written by someone skilled; the small characters were vigorous and powerful, filled with over a thousand words of classical prose, adorned with beautiful phrases and references. In summary, it invited Chuyang to attend a class reunion in Rongcheng at the Navy Holiday Hotel on Thursday night.
Chuyang remembered that during his registration at the Organization Department yesterday, someone had distributed Invitations in the conference room. However, they had completely ignored him sitting in the corner.
Now that he thought about it, it must have been because he didn’t have Fleet Girls at that time and wasn’t on the invitation list. The reason Ye Zhengyang delivered it to him today was likely due to his association with Fleet Girls. Because of Firefly, he had become an official Admiral and was now considered part of their circle, qualifying him to attend the reunion.
To be honest, if this were in his past life right after graduating from school, he would have torn the Invitation to shreds without hesitation. In short: today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you regret it.
However, after years of being tempered by society, even if he really manages to bring back all the Fleet Girls from the Naval Base and becomes a powerful figure that shakes the world, he wouldn't do that.
Leave some room for others; it makes future encounters easier. Who can say that their future life is destined to be smooth sailing? Having one more friend always means having one more way out.
Don't talk about how "the world is going downhill and people are no longer sincere," or "while everyone is muddied, I alone remain clear; while everyone is drunk, I alone stay sober." That's not called being noble; that's called being foolish.
Moreover, his classmates aren't necessarily that mercenary. Because in this world, no matter where or when, Admirals and ordinary people are always in two different circles. If they invited him when Chuyang had no Fleet Girls, it would only make Chuyang feel mocked, even if Chuyang didn't think so. But when the gathering starts, amidst the revelry and indulgence, while others embrace their own Fleet Girls and dance lightly, he would feel lonely and uncomfortable. So the fact that his classmates didn't invite him before might not be disdain; perhaps it was actually for his own good.
So there's no doubt that Chuyang would attend this gathering, and deep down he might harbor some malice. After all, this year's graduates are all "African," and Seal—it's time to show off.
Lexington's cooking was impeccable; everyone enjoyed the meal thoroughly. However, even though Lexington performed perfectly at the dining table and maintained her position as a "guest" well, Zhang Jianlin couldn't shake the feeling that he was actually the guest.
There was nothing to be done; Lexington's presence was simply too commanding when there were outsiders around.
Everything was tidied up, and outside the night was thickening; fireflies had already fallen asleep.
Chuyang watched as Lexington emerged from the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel. He suddenly felt that this would be a wonderful night, filled with endless...
