Azur Lane: I Took the Graduation Port Area Through Time

Chapter 323 The Origin of Essex's Obsession (2900 Words)

"Did I really... beat the corporate seniors?"

At this time, Essex was still standing there dumbly on the track. After taking off her helmet, she looked at her name in the championship column on the big screen and forgot to get off the car for a moment.

She had just used this move with passion, and she thought she had arrived at the finish line at the same time as the company's seniors.

But when she learned that she actually defeated her corporate seniors, even if it was just in the motorcycle competition, she still felt like she was dreaming.

"Congratulations Essex, that move just now was beautiful. Even I didn't expect you to overtake me with such a dangerous move."

At this time, Enterprise had also taken off his windshield helmet, supported the motorcycle on the ground, and walked to Essex with a smile to congratulate him.

"Ah... Senior Enterprise, that was just a fluke, you must have let it slip..."

Seeing the sassy corporate senior with long silver hair flying in front of him standing in front of him to congratulate him, Essex's face instantly blushed, and he turned his gaze and whispered.

"No, Essex, the company will definitely go all out and not give up. This victory is the result of your hard work."

At this time, Lin Lan also led Anchorage and others down to the audience stand and walked from the track.

He just happened to hear the conversation between the enterprise and Essex, and smiled and said what he wanted to say for the enterprise, which made the enterprise smile knowingly at him.

As expected of the commander who knows everyone best, he said everything she wanted to say for her.

Seeing the commander arriving, Essex jumped out of the car with a flash of panic on her face. She was completely unprepared for the fact that she could actually win.

What's more, she just saw the commander's expectant eyes, so she didn't choose to give up and used this counter-attack method that she had silently practiced countless times.

Even she herself was not 100% sure that it would be successful. She just decided to use it because she wanted to live up to the commander's expectations.

"commander……"

Hearing Lin Lan's words of affirmation, the light purple twin-tailed dumpling's face turned as red as a ripe apple. Those who didn't know it thought she was the loser.

"Essex, sister, you were so handsome just now!"

At this time, Anchorage jumped into Essex's arms and hugged Essex tightly.

Morrie also gave Essex a thumbs up and said with a smile:

"Stop being modest at this time, Essex, just enjoy the victory openly and openly. Sister Enterprise is also sincerely happy for you."

Essex looked at the enterprise and then at Lin Lan. When she saw both of them giving her congratulatory smiles, she blushed and nodded, then touched Anchorage's head.

"Well, Senior Enterprise... Although I won this time, there are still many things I need to learn from you. I will continue to follow your example in the future!"

"I'm always waiting for your challenge Essex. It's because of active juniors like you that will push me to be better."

Enterprise smiled and raised his fist at Essex. When Essex saw this, he took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to bump fists with Enterprise.

"Come and look at everyone, three, two..."

At this time, Gridley's voice suddenly came, making everyone look away.

"...One, eggplant!"

"Crack!"

Along with the sound of the camera, the expressions and movements of everyone, including Lin Lan, turned their heads and were captured by Gridley, who was holding a camera, along with the name of the champion on the big screen behind him.

"Hey hey~ It's a perfect angle, Commander, I'm not taking a candid photo this time, right?"

Gridley came bounding over and smiled happily at Lin Lan.

For Gridley, whose quality has improved significantly compared to before, Lin Lan smiled, patted the cute little Gridley's head and praised:

"Okay, your professionalism has been significantly improved, and you are finally no longer a candid reporter."

Since Gridley's candid shot in the morning almost caused Essex to actually use the firing restriction, this little White Eagle reporter also learned a lot.

She was not allowed to secretly take photos next to the commander, otherwise there was a high chance that she would be unable to survive in the White Eagle camp like the little profiteer Akashi.

After this episode, Lin Lan boldly proposed to the company and Essex whether they could take him to experience the feeling of racing on the track.

Watching the two people's extreme speed competition during the game just now made him interested in it.

Although he didn't dare to drive a lap with his three-legged motorcycle skills, it should be no problem with an experienced driver driving him in front.

"Well...Commander's request must be fulfilled by the winner of this competition."

After hearing Lin Lan's request, the company couldn't help but look at Essex and smiled.

"Ah? Shall I take care of the commander?"

Unexpectedly, Essex was stunned that the company senior would actually give this opportunity to him, and actually asked in a cute voice.

Seeing that the always aloof Dumpling was running out of brains, Lin Lan smiled and joked:

"This is indeed the way it should be. After all, it would be more reliable for our junior champion Essex to lead me, so I'll do it for you."

"Since it is the Commander's request... Essex is honored."

Essex looked at Lin Lan with a shy smile on her face, and suddenly felt the corners of her eyes sore.

She couldn't remember that when she joined Minato a few years ago, the first person she saw was this big boy with a shy smile.

At that time, although she had seen this young commander in the simulation exercise, she did not pay much attention to him when she actually joined the port.

She put almost all her energy on catching up with the Enterprise. Even if she was ordered to attack by the commander, her ultimate goal was still to catch up with the Enterprise.

After all, she was the first ship of the Essex-class, a new type of aircraft carrier in the White Eagle camp, but since her birth, she has been overshadowed by the glory of her predecessor, the White Eagle God of War Enterprise.

When people mention the White Eagle aircraft carrier of that period, the first thing they think of is the legendary Pacific Queen Enterprise, not the Essex-class that was born later.

This is Essex's biggest obsession, and it is also her lingering... knot.

She hopes that she can prove the strength of the Essex-class and surpass the Enterprise in an upright manner.

But at the same time, she is full of sincere admiration for this predecessor who is shrouded in all kinds of legendary halos and cannot feel jealous at all.

As the commander named her as the secretary ship, in her daily work life, she gradually became familiar with this commander who liked to play with everyone, but they could never touch him.

At the same time, she was also very curious. She worked so hard to catch up with Enterprise's predecessors, but why was this commander so conscientious at work every day?

Is it just for the hobby of playing with all the sisters in the port area equally and not making any distinctions at all?

What a perverted commander.

She held this idea until that day came.

In the aircraft carrier exercise held in the port area, she finally tied with Enterprise, but she fell into suspicion whether Enterprise deliberately let her go to tie in order to take care of her.

It was the commander who discovered her negative and tangled mentality, took her to relax in time, and called Enterprise to explain to her the truth that he did not deliberately let her go in the exercise.

It was because of this incident that she discovered that this commander who looked like an old pervert was actually very careful to take care of everyone.

Until the day when the promise ring was put on her by her own hand, Essex, who was in sudden happiness, even thought that as long as she could accompany the commander, she would not need to prove anything in the future.

It was enough for the two of them to support each other and keep going.

This naive expectation gradually changed as the commander's physical condition became worse and worse, but she could not do anything.

Until that day, the commander disappeared from the port area...

In the time after that, she was so broken and desperate that she even locked herself in the dormitory and fell into autism for several days.

If she could not still vaguely sense that the commander was still alive and had the goal of finding the commander in her heart, she would even feel that the whole world was in darkness.

At the same time, an idea also arose in her heart:

If she could catch up with the pace of the enterprise predecessors who were still extremely strong after the commander disappeared, would she be able to overcome the pain of missing the commander?

So after that, Essex once again took the enterprise as her goal, and was more persistent than before.

Until the night a few days ago, she really took the unconscious commander back.

"What are you daydreaming about, Jiaozi? Come here quickly. Can your motorcycle seat two people? Speaking of which, do I need some protective measures? My body is not as strong as yours, hahaha!"

The brief recollection in Essex's mind was interrupted by Lin Lan, who had already walked to the side of her motorcycle and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Lin Lan was taking Anchorage with him, and the two of them looked at Essex's motorcycle curiously.

To be honest, this perfectly maintained racing motorcycle should be considered as funded by him.

After all, it cost him dozens of dollars - that is, hundreds of red-pointed "huge sums".

No.

Lin Lan shook his head. The company told him this morning that this motorcycle was borrowed from Jamaica.

But it was obvious that this blue streamlined car shell was still a copy of the one in the portrait when he bought Essex this outfit.

It seems that Essex still can't forget the day when he bought her the outfit.
