Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

To be honest, Yang Sikang has always been sure that he is not a thin-skinned person, and he doesn't care about some intimate behavior in public.

But everything has its limits. Even he could not bear it when Huayuan openly licked his hand in an ambiguous posture while sitting on a chair by the roadside.

On the one hand, the contrast between this and Huayuan's usual handsome and capable image was too great for him to be prepared; on the other hand, this street was not far from the home port, and as a celebrity, there were obviously many people who recognized him here, and the ambiguous and warm gazes made him very embarrassed.

"Commander, are you a little shy?"

Yang Sikang, who was in a state of running away, stopped and nodded helplessly when he heard Hua Yuan say this:

"This doesn't seem like something you came up with on your own. Who taught you to do this?"

The garden smiled slyly:

"This is the result of my special visit to the nun for advice, and you also like it, don't you?"

Nun? The image of the nun in his fleet immediately flashed through Yang Sikang's mind, and he sighed helplessly:

"Grudge... that's not surprising."

Hua Yuan was laughing happily, but Yang Sikang felt helpless. He was thinking that Da Feng and Yuan Chou were surprisingly well behaved during this period of time, and did not do anything strange at all. He did not expect that Yuan Chou did not do it, but did not do it in front of him.

"Commander, don't worry. Yuanchou has been with Miss Guanghui and the others all this time. She has been very well behaved except when I went to see her. Besides, she won't cause you any extra trouble since you are so busy."

The garden said, taking his hand again:

"But when we came here just now, there were quite a few people watching us. If we stay any longer, we will be surrounded by people."

Their date seemed a little strange. Although both of them were dressed elegantly, their actions were very casual, whether it was Huayuan's previous deliberate behavior or the two of them trotting on the street, playing around and walking into the alley without any scruples, regardless of their image.

After a while, Yang Sikang had taken off his coat, and Huayuan had a hat on her head and a pendant on the ribbon around her waist.

What’s interesting is that the pendant actually looks like the Garden’s unfolded ship outfit, just in Q version.

"Come to think of it, Taiho has been wearing the hair ornament that the commander gave her before. Alas, it's a pity that our commander is too enthusiastic about work... Ah, I'm not saying that you are bad. Haha, after all, you are different from other commanders, and your way of caring for people is also different."

As Huayuan talked, she took Yang Sikang's arm and looked at the shops on both sides of the street with great interest. They had passed many interesting shops and also passed a dessert shop that Huayuan liked on weekdays. As they walked here, Huayuan suddenly noticed a small shop on the side. The shop was not big, and the decoration was exquisite but very clean.

"Commander, shall we go over there and take a look?"

Yang Sikang looked in the direction she pointed. The small shop did look a little special here and was very new compared to other shops around it.

"Okay."

Looking at the sign of the store, Yang Sikang smiled and walked in with Huayuan. This store was an antique shop. The size of the interior was much larger than the storefront. Because it was located on a corner, the shape of the store was not very good, but the decoration made up for it a lot.

After Yang Sikang and Hua Yuan came in, the doorbell rang, and then a cheerful voice came out from inside:

"Welcome... eh?"

The owner walked quickly out of the small warehouse inside the shop, and was stunned when he met the gazes of Yang Sikang and Huayuan.

Even Yang Sikang and Hua Yuan were the same. The three of them looked at each other, and then Yang Sikang couldn't help laughing:

"Ms. Lin, why are you still doing antique business?"

Lin Shuqin sighed, scratched his head helplessly and complained:

"What a coincidence! You guys caught me right after the opening. I haven't been busy lately. It's not convenient for me to follow Shen Yue all the time, and my family won't let me go back. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I discussed it with Ding An and opened a store like this."

Lin Shuqin looked at Yang Sikang and then at Huayuan. Her eyes fell on the suit jacket in Yang Sikang's hand and Huayuan's long skirt, and she immediately understood:

"Would you like to choose something? I'll give it to you for free. Let me make it clear in advance that Ding'an helped with the store and preparations, but I paid for the goods myself!"

Yang Sikang looked around and was about to step towards an inconspicuous bottle. Lin Shuqin was startled and stood in front of him:

"Please give me some face. This is the only treasure in our store!"

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Didn't you say to just pick it randomly?"

"Can't I be polite?"

Yang Sikang shrugged and pointed to a small cabinet next to the vase:

"Then I want that one."

Lin Shuqin took a look and frowned:

"Why don't you change it? To be honest, that one is not an antique. Although I may not have as good taste as you, it is definitely not an antique."

"What if you are wrong?" Yang Sikang said casually, "Your vision is not as good as mine."

Lin Shuqin glanced at him:

"The items were tested with Ding'an first, and the ones with particularly high value were bought by Ding'an in advance."

Yang Sikang couldn't help but smile, and Huayuan, who was looking around with great interest, turned around and said:

"Isn't that the equivalent of cheating?"

"How many people who come here to buy things are looking for real antiques? Those people only care about the appearance, as long as it looks like the real thing. People who really want to buy antiques will not come to this kind of store."

As Lin Shuqin spoke, she went over and took out the things in the cabinet, then threw them directly towards Yang Sikang without pretending to cherish them at all.

"Aren't you afraid of just throwing it out and letting everyone know that you're selling fakes?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Lin Shuqin answered casually, then looked towards the garden with a smile:

"Miss New Jersey can choose whatever she wants."

Yang Sikang smiled as he watched Lin Shuqin introduce those things to Huayuan, while he himself observed the thing in his hand.

He read it over and over again, rubbing off the dirt from some scratches on the surface with his fingers, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Change it. No matter how much you look at it, it won't become a good thing. Besides, it's useless. The things in your office are older than this one."

Yang Sikang just smiled and shook his head:

"No, I think this is perfect. Maybe it's better than your vase. By the way, where did you get these?"

"There are all kinds of ways. You know, sometimes the sellers themselves can't even explain how they got the goods they sold."

Lin Shuqin helplessly spread her hands. Many people came to her to sell things, but most of them were free buyers. Although she could get a lot of cheap things, it was also troublesome. Fortunately, she had Yang Sikang's support. The store was openly set up, and the walls and glass were all from Donghuang official or Yang Sikang's development dock.

"If you come across something similar in the future, you can buy it at a higher price and I'll double the price."

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

“This thing is very useful.”
