How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

Due to his own reasons, Zeppelin was unemployed in Hong Kong for a long time, refusing to communicate with outsiders and isolating himself.

She had never been involved in core affairs before, but suddenly she was given such an important task. Naturally, she had no idea where to start for a while.

To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. Zeppelin understood this principle before.

But for the sake of her own little remaining pride, when Zhou Xuan asked her if she could do it independently, she tried to lie for the first time.

A wrong step has led to the current predicament. I want to ask for help, but I don’t want to disturb the young man who is writing furiously.

With no other choice, Zeppelin had to suppress his desire to ask for help.

Trying to calm his turbulent heart, Zeppelin sat up and repeated himself to the blank document.

"Have patience Zeppelin, have patience."

The voice was so low that almost no one could hear it except her.

Be it self-consolation or self-hypnosis to numb the mind, Zeppelin no longer cared.

She just wanted to retain a last bit of dignity in front of Zhou Xuan.

Even though her life has been a failure...

However, based on the current situation, the effect of self-paralysis is not ideal and can be said to be minimal.

The more anxious she was, the more confused her thoughts became.

The helplessness when faced with official documents, the painful experiences of repeated failures, and the futile insistence on not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of Zhou Xuan.

The layers of pressure piled up and almost completely crushed her mentality.

Several times, he had the urge to tear up the documents and vent his emotions, but remembering Zhou Xuan's teachings, Qi Peilin ultimately failed to put his idea into action.

In desperation, he vented his emotions on the pen, pulling it up and twisting it, and soon the whole pen was separated from the end and went to separate places.

"The pen is innocent, just let it go, Zeppelin."

It’s not that he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. Zhou Xuan saw the whole dilemma displayed by Qi Peilin, feeling helpless and amused at the same time.

Zeppelin, who was in a state of confusion and had not noticed his arrival, was startled. He quickly sat up, adjusted the brim of his hat, and asked with his head tilted.

"Zhou...Zhou Xuan, when will you..."

"I just arrived. Don't worry, I didn't see what happened just now~" Zhou Xuan comforted the frightened deer, patting it.

Just like the attempt to cover up one's mistake, Zeppelin didn't know how to respond to this statement.

All I could do was remain silent and observe all his emotions through the corner of my eye.

That strange feeling came again! When I got close to him, all the irritability disappeared without a trace.

Combined with all the previous things, she looks like a weak and useless person, whose mood can be manipulated by others.

"If you ask me, there's no need to make things difficult for yourself, Zeppelin. It's tiring to keep things to yourself all the time."

"I didn't..."

Zeppelin denied it flatly, but turned his face away, constantly avoiding his wise gaze, fearing that he would see through the dark side of himself.

"really?"

Pretending to be ignorant of the situation, Zhou Xuan quickly followed her. Wherever she looked, he followed. Wherever he looked, he saw her figure.

For some reason, Qi Peilin suddenly felt a little depressed, and her words unconsciously sounded a little tearful.

"Zhou Xuan...you are so annoying..."

Her watery eyes and weak look made his heart tighten for a moment. Zhou Xuan quickly lowered his tone and spoke softly.

"You don't have to fight hard when you encounter problems. If you have any problems, come to me at any time and I will solve them for you. These are my original words, aren't they?"

"You are my secretary ship and my deputy. Could it be that I am not competent enough as the commander that makes you bother to come to me?"

Perhaps he did not agree with his point of view, Zeppelin raised his head reflexively, his lips opening and closing, as if he was about to say something.

The blood-red eyes were dark and unclear, and the question of whether to obey or not was still being fiercely struggled in them.

"If I hadn't come to see you, would you have just sat there all day and continued to destroy my pen?"

"Oh, Lord Zeppelin, please spare me. I am just a trainee commander with little salary. I cannot stand your playing tricks on me like this."

Although he was not in a good mood, Qi Peilin felt like laughing again when he saw Zhou Xuan's humorous tone.

After some persuasion, he finally saw her frown relax a little, and Zhou Xuan immediately decided to press on.

"If Master Zeppelin feels that this is not enough, why not put down the pen and come at me? I have a strong body and can handle it!"

The boy's nature is particularly adorable, watching him hammer his chest to prove whether it's real or not.

It was difficult for Zeppelin to tell whether this was an unintentional remark or a double entendre.

Although she was suspicious, she couldn't bear to see him continue to hurt himself, so she quickly stopped him.

"Stop your gorilla-like behavior, Zhou Xuan, this is not funny."

"You think playing with me is torture? But why do I always feel that it is a reward for you?"

"You don't have any special hobbies, do you?" Zeppelin changed the subject, his expression filled with a strong interest in exploration.

In just a moment, his impatient heart was easily calmed down. Without caring about admiration or surprise, Zeppelin raised the corner of his mouth and said with full of aggression.

"Stop talking nonsense, Zhou Xuan. I won't reward you so easily."

Pretending that his thoughts were seen through, Zhou Xuan scratched his head and looked shyly at the girl in front of him.

She found the pen cap, put the pen back together, and placed it steadily in her palm.

Then he stood up, faced Zhou Xuan, adjusted his mentality, and tried to slowly stretch his hands forward.

"Since I am in this position, I will do my duty."

"Please help me with the lessons I've missed over the years, Zhou Xuan. This time, I will study hard." Zeppelin's tone was pious and earnest.

She is clearly Zhou Xuan's secretary, but she asks him to worry about her. This is too much for her.

The girl thought so and found the root of the problem. Her spirits naturally rose. Invisibly, she felt full of motivation.

There was no trace of his previous impatience. With Zhou Xuan's company, Qi Peilin was as calm as water.

The white and tender back of her hand covered his warm palm. With him taking the lead, the two of them worked together, with their minds and bodies working as one, to process one document after another.

Chapter 22: Red flowers need green leaves to set them off

Since that day of personal instruction, Zeppelin's state of mind has changed greatly.

Without her initial impatience, she is now much calmer in her approach to things.

In contrast, the relationship between the two of them became more natural, and they no longer had to consider the possible impact of their words on her.

After letting go, Zhou Xuan would share with her some interesting anecdotes he knew from time to time.

Everything has its rewards. When Zeppelin was so happy that she couldn't control herself, she did not hesitate to show off her beauty.

She leaned her beautiful face against his, using his body as a temporary stop to adjust her emotions.

When the mood is right, it is common to put one's arms around another's shoulders. Compared to the vague bond in the previous life, it is a completely different experience.

Zhou Xuan accidentally treated his wife like a buddy, and he would always feel puzzled afterwards.

But when he saw her new look, Zhou Xuan was happy to see it.

For him, having a loyal wife in the future seems to be a good experience.

However, if you want to change a person, it is not enough to improve in a single aspect, in order to enhance the effect of self-cultivation.

Zhou Xuan also specially got some potted plants and a tank of goldfish, and after everything was ready, he handed over the daily care work to her.

"Is this your method? Will this really work?"

In response to her question, Zhou Xuan expressed it bluntly.

"It takes time to cultivate one's mind and character. Starting from the trivial things in daily life is more conducive to the cultivation of one's mentality. Anyway, I used to see the old man downstairs doing this."

"Old man? Me? Oh, Zhou Xuan, you are so bold to say that..."

The two of them stared at each other with unexpected looks on their faces. Although there was a hint of sarcasm in their teasing words, Zeppelin's actions were unusually honest.

As he said, I took the small pruning shears and carefully looked at the potted plants in front of me, cutting here and there.

Click, click, crisp sounds were heard from time to time in the huge room.

As the extra branches and leaves fell, the conversation between the two people continued.

"From this perspective, it doesn't seem that difficult. You guys, you're not really treating me like an old man and fooling me, are you?"

"How could that be? I just bought the potted plant, and it hasn't grown yet. When it does, you'll have your work cut out for you."

Even with this explanation, the suspicion in the girl's eyes had not subsided, and it remained fixed on him.

"is it?"

"Of course!" Zhou Xuan couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

After all, it was a method he heard from others, and he himself had not tried it. He just thought that the concept was the same and the effect should be similar, so he used it.

It should also be effective against ship girls...and when he asked himself.

Zeppelin, who had just been indifferent, soon hit her wall.

Compared with the previous one, this potted plant is thriving, with many branches and leaves crisscrossing together.

Her wild growth gave her such an image.

You are already a qualified hero (lv.1)

Your first opponent is a wild and growing Millennium Tree Spirit (lv.100)

Pick up your weapon and try to defeat it!

It's hard to describe. Zeppelin's experience at this moment is like that unlucky guy who has to face a strong enemy right after leaving the Novice Village. His face is so exciting.

"Can I use the ship suit? Zhou Xuan, such an inconvenient thing should be destroyed from the world!"

"Without any personal feelings involved," Zeppelin said coldly, and tried to cut a few more times without success, and immediately put down the scissors in his hand.

Without saying a word, he acted as if he was concentrating on thinking, as if he was really considering his proposal seriously.

Zhou Xuan was shocked. He didn't want to be crushed under the ruins because of a potted plant, so he hurried to stop it.

"Be patient, Zeppelin, be patient!"

Hearing these familiar words and feeling something tapping his shoulder, Zeppelin looked over.

At a glance, Zhou Xuan opened a book and looked at the exquisite cover, on which it was clearly written.

Plant cultivation and care

"Relax, I have a solution."

"You do this, then this, then this, then that, and finally that, and repeat it a few times."

Following his instructions, Zeppelin quickly picked up the scissors that were placed aside, followed his teachings, concentrated, and did it step by step.

After deciding on the final cutting target, the whole process was carried out with extreme caution. By the time the cutting was completed, the sky gradually darkened.

Looking at his own work, Zeppelin finally breathed a sigh of relief. As if to take credit for it, he pushed the potted plant that the two of them had carefully cared for in front of his desk.

"Are you satisfied with this? Boring!"

"Well, not bad, not worse than those professional gardeners. Keep up the good work." After careful inspection, Zhou Xuan gave his own evaluation.

No one doesn't like to hear nice words, and she enjoyed the boy's flattery very much.

While feeling proud, Qi Peilin couldn't help but think back to the past, and she suddenly realized that there was a huge difference between her before and after.

"I can't believe that I, who hates everything and wants to destroy everything, would actually follow you to do such a ridiculous thing..."

Zeppelin folded his arms, lowered his head in thought, unaware of the green above his head, and even less aware of the big hand that was quietly approaching.

It was not until the unique fragrance of the young boy approached and her soft hair began to ripple a little that Zeppelin suddenly came back to his senses.

She turned her head to avoid his big hand and reacted instinctively.

"You...what are you doing?"

Her cheeks flushed, her eyes wandered, and the sudden anxiety and shyness filled her uneasy pupils.
