"Support is needed, votes are needed."
"Firefly." Speaking of which, he was already the Admiral of Firefly, so calling it "Firefly" seemed a bit distant. Since Lexington could call it that, he should be able to as well.
"Brother Chu Yang, what's wrong?" Perhaps influenced by Lexington, Firefly also appeared quite downcast at this moment. Little Kiddo sat in Chu Yang's arms with her head drooping, looking listless.
However, her overall appearance was much better than before Lexington arrived. How to describe it? Previously, such a pretty girl had been turned into a mess by Chu Yang, but Lexington had managed to style Little Kiddo's hair into two beautiful ponytails without any tools at hand.
At that time, if it weren't for the fact that their hair colors and appearances were completely different, Chu Yang would have thought they were mother and daughter.
"Lexington used to be at the same Naval Base as you?" Chu Yang felt that he was merely stating the obvious with this question. However, he wasn't sure how to steer the conversation, so he just went with it.
To be honest, Chu Yang was truly amazed by Lexington. If before he was just trying to get a ship for some ulterior motives, upon seeing Lexington, he realized his fate had arrived, just as Ye Zhengyang had said; it was like a turtle looking at a green bean—love at first sight.
He thought about it; he was already in his thirties across two lifetimes. In his previous life, he had dated several times and was even on the verge of marrying his last girlfriend when he suddenly woke up from a drunken stupor and found himself here. So he wasn't a novice in romance. Yet when he saw Lexington again, Chu Yang suddenly felt a rush of emotions akin to first love.
Yes, he decided to pursue Lexington. Even though she had been married before, according to Firefly, it was merely a nominal marriage. Besides, that Admiral had already gone missing—or saying "died" would be more accurate. Therefore, pursuing a "widow" shouldn't be considered immoral.
"Yes, Sister Lexington used to be at the same Naval Base as me; she was the Admiral's Wedding Ship and served as Secretary Ship for quite a long time."
"Do you know where she lives now?" This question was the key.
"Ah! I didn't ask about that." Loli was taken aback; she had been so focused on answering the many questions posed by Lexington Sister that she hadn't had the chance to inquire about Lexington's recent situation, and the latter left with a disappointed expression.
".........." Chuyang was truly speechless now. He could guarantee that Lexington's usual activities were definitely not around the academy; otherwise, he would have seen her before. Rongcheng was neither too big nor too small, and searching for a Fleet Girl who intentionally concealed her identity among millions of people was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Time! Fate! Luck! As an African Salty Fish, what ship could he catch? He might as well take up the spear passed down through his tribe's ancestors to go hunting...
"Did you at least tell her our address?" Chuyang still wasn't giving up.
"Lexington Sister didn't ask, so I didn't say anything." Loli also felt like she might have done something wrong and lowered her little head.
Forget it, let everything take its course! Chuyang suddenly understood a saying from that old rascal Buddha: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning. One should contemplate them like this."
However, there is another saying: "Things are in human hands." Effort may not guarantee success, but without effort, one will definitely regret it.
By the time all the 17th graduates of the academy had completed their registration at the Organization Department, it was already ten o'clock. When the awarding ceremony officially began, the clock tower in the academy pointed to ten thirty.
The awarding ceremony took place in the grand hall of the academy. Sitting in the back row of the hall, Chuyang watched as a representative from the Rongcheng City Government gesticulated passionately on stage, spitting words everywhere. He suddenly felt a bit bored. Compared to this middle-aged man's impassioned speech about guiding the nation and stirring up hormones among graduates to the point where they felt they could sacrifice themselves for humanity, he found Dean Lexington's earlier brief remarks to be more realistic and reliable.
"Cherish Life, Cherish Life, Treasure the Ship Girls; be humble and steady... do not rush or seek glory..."
Similar to his university graduation ceremony in his past life, it usually involved lengthy speeches from various representatives that provided no substantial nourishment before getting to the main event of the ceremony. Sure enough, when it reached eleven thirty, the speeches finally came to an end.
Amidst the solemn Military Ceremony Music and under the gaze of all faculty members and attending representatives, with witnesses from the World Government, Admiral Alliance, and Naval Headquarters present, 118 graduates from the 17th class of Rongcheng Naval Academy's Admiral Branch stood on stage as several high-ranking officials from Admiral Alliance awarded them their degrees.
As expected by Chuyang, his latest rank was Lieutenant Junior Grade, while Ye Zhengyang held the rank of Lieutenant. In fact, the highest rank achieved by this year's graduates was Lieutenant. There was no helping it; this batch of graduates had rather unfortunate luck. Aside from a few like Ye Zhengyang who managed to construct Heavy Cruiser Girls, the others, whether they had four Loli Destroyers, three Loli Destroyers, or even two Loli Destroyers, were all ranked Lieutenant Junior Grade just like Chuyang.
After the commissioning ceremony concluded, it was already lunchtime. In the auditorium, Chuyang chatted casually with classmates whose attitudes had somewhat changed towards him. Holding Firefly's small hand, he greeted Ye Zhengyang and turned to walk out of the auditorium.
Outside the academy's West Gate, there was a small eatery on North Road Alley known for its decent home-cooked meals. Chuyang planned to have lunch there and then take a short break in the academy library while waiting for the afternoon's Naval Base assignment memories.
However, as the two Fleet Girls reached the West Gate, they were stopped midway by someone.
Blocking their path were three young women—specifically, an Admiral and two Fleet Girls.
"Xiaoyangzi, long time no see." The woman in the middle wore a crisp white Admiral uniform and had smooth black hair cascading over her shoulders. The tips of her bangs were dyed a light purple, and her beautiful face wore a smile that felt like a breath of spring. Even in military attire, her feminine charm was hard to conceal.
"Xiaoyangzi, you're still Little Shenzi! Your whole family are eunuchs." Chuyang silently complained but maintained a neutral expression as he said, "Hello, senior."
