The two waited for a long time before they got a taxi from the port area, and then it took more than 40 minutes to reach the city. The downtown commercial street is similar to the previous life. There are people coming and going, various shops, and occasionally you can see shop assistants standing at the door greeting customers. Su Xin had never been here, so Helena had to take her to the mall to shop for dresses. She said she was buying a dress for Helena, but more often it was Helena who dragged Su Xin to try on clothes. From pure and cute style to mature and cold style, they all came one after another. She found that Su Xin, whose appearance was no less than that of KanColle, could really carry off many styles of clothes. [Yes, it’s about meters tall and…] Helena looked at a certain part of Su Xin somewhat rudely. [Commander, this... is a little bit regrettable...]
Su Xin looked at Helena in confusion, lowered her head following her gaze, and then shouted softly with a little embarrassment. "Helena!" "Ah? ... Ah, Commander, this one looks great too, how about buying them together?" "...Humph, I don't need to buy clothes, go find your dress." As he said that, he took the lead and pulled Helena out of the store. Helena took two fluffy lace knee-length skirts from behind and hurriedly handed them to the salesperson while lip-syncing. 【Pack for me】 Then he was pulled out of the store by Su Xin. Afterwards, the two of them visited several clothing stores with higher average prices, and Helena tried on many dresses. Su Xin's aesthetic taste for clothing was improved by the various skins in the game in her previous life. After choosing for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable one. In the end, I chose a dress that was similar to the "Dancing with You" skin. The main body of the dress is also dark blue, with a white pleated skirt. But the accessories were changed from white flowers to a thin belt with a very light blue bow on the side. The hem of the dress was also lengthened to the calf, highlighting the plump upper body and slender waist. The soft material can well outline the waist and abdomen, and the pleated inner skirt can cover the slender and round legs to avoid appearing too exposed. Accompanying the dress were dark blue lace-up high heels of the same color as the main dress, highlighting Helena's fair and small feet. A simple white brooch is worn on the upper left chest, slightly brightening the tone of the dark blue main dress. All in all, Su Xin was very satisfied. Of course, the price is not cheap.
"Commander, is this really possible... Isn't it too expensive?" "It suits you very well. Do you want to wear it back?" Su Xin nodded. After turning around and finding out that the commander did not enjoy a discount, she quickly paid for it. Helena thought about it and simply turned around to pick out a skirt that suited Su Xin's body shape. The style and color were very similar to the one she was wearing. Apart from the overly delicate style, it looked like something that sisters would wear when going out. "Commander, why don't you try this one? It's not on sale anyway." Su Xin had already paid the money, and after thinking about it, she realized that there was really no need to keep wearing this command uniform. The style of the skirt was not fancy, so she went to the fitting room to change. When she came out of the fitting room, she was greeted by the clerk's praise and Helena's affirmative smile. Su Xin has a slender body, and even the smallest dress looks frail on her. Against the backdrop of the exquisite clothes, the child looks like a porcelain doll, fair, fragile and lovable. She seemed uncomfortable with the compliment and wanted to go back with a red face, but was stopped by Helena. "It suits you very well, Commander. No need to change it." Su Xin hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing. Helena paid for the dress, but she didn't buy high heels or anything like that. The main reason was that the child didn't cooperate and was still young, so Helena gave up. Although the dress was paired with casual clothes, The casual shoes are a bit out of place, but Su Xin's looks are enough to make people ignore everything else, so it doesn't matter what shoes she wears. After paying the bill, the two walked out of the mall together. Helena thought about it and decided to stop Su Xin. "Um... Commander, I need to go to the bathroom. Can you wait here for me?" Su Xin tilted her head, "Of course." Helena walked back to the mall happily like a butterfly. She was still obsessed with those lace dresses for girls. [Ah, those clothes that little Su Xin wore just now are so cute, they will definitely look great when I buy them back!] On the other side, Su Xin was wearing a dress and standing at the entrance of the air-conditioned shopping mall, which really attracted people's attention. People who passed by would always look at her twice, which made her feel very uncomfortable, so she had to move to the side. After searching for a long time, I finally stopped at an inconspicuous alley. I was able to avoid the sunlight and enjoy the breeze, which reduced the feeling of heat a lot. Helena didn't expect that there would suddenly be so many people in the store, and she spent a lot of time queuing up to pay. Su Xin gathered her skirt and squatted on the ground, looking down boredly and trying to find ants on the cement road. Then I heard hurried footsteps behind me. ps: Maintenance announcement: Modifications have been made to the unreasonable parts in this chapter and the next chapter.

Chapter 10 New Features Helena was anxious. The checkout line took longer than I thought. It seemed that there happened to be some kind of event, which caused the people who paid in front to scan the code and fill out the form, causing the line to stop, but I didn’t have anything urgent to do. I couldn’t say that my sixteen-year-old child was waiting outside, it was not safe and I was afraid... So Helena had to wait silently and check to see if there were any other styles she had missed.
Su Xin outside raised her head when she heard the footsteps. When she recognized that the sound came from behind her, she immediately stood up and looked back. The alley is quite long, with some debris scattered in the middle. It is passable, but it is easy to trip if you are not careful. There seemed to be a person running towards this side from the other end of the alley. His face was not clear due to the backlight, but from his body shape, I could tell that he was a male. The man approached very quickly, he seemed to be holding something in his right hand and a handbag in the other hand, and his panting sound and heavy footsteps came over here. The woman's screams followed. "Robbery...Robbery! Alley! Run through the alley!" The slightly sharp soprano voice woke up the slightly dazed Su Xin. Looking at the man who became more and more irritable because of the debris on the ground, Su Xin hurriedly stepped back two steps to make way for the alley. As a powerless child, she knew that she should not act tough at this time. Facing unknown risks, the best option was to give up the passage. Protecting herself was the most important thing. Unfortunately, accidents always seem to come unexpectedly. From the sound, the other party was getting closer and closer to the alley. Miscellaneous items were kicked over, cans were blown away, and all kinds of noises were heard all the way. The crowd outside the alley understood what was happening from the screams, but they did not disperse. Instead, start recording after a certain distance. Su Xin was closest to the alley entrance. Just as she took two steps back, the man rushed out. Because he ran so fast, he seemed to be knocked down by something and fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this, several people in the crowd rushed forward, trying to take this opportunity to suppress the gangster, so that they blocked Su Xin's retreat invisibly. As a result, the man got up very quickly. He stood up from his kneeling position, swung the bright red lady's handbag in his hand around, slightly scaring the few people who came forward, and then showed the dagger in his right hand. The bright metal reflection made people feel calm even in the scorching sun. Felt cold. The few people who came forward scattered and retreated. Su Xin was blocked by the soldiers and when she looked up, she ran into the man's sinister gaze. He took a big step, and before anyone could react, he let go of his handbag, reached out and grabbed the exquisitely dressed girl in front of him, causing her to stagger. "do not come!" He grabbed Su Xin's neck. The slightly cool body temperature and the smooth touch made him lose consciousness for a moment, then he tightened his grip and swung the dagger over Su Xin. "Don't move, or I'll kill you!" As if to increase the credibility of his words, the man exerted a little more force on his hands, and at the same time retracted the dagger and hid it behind Su Xin's back. Due to the compression of her trachea, Su Xin couldn't help coughing twice. A slight blush appeared on her pale face, making her look even more fragile. The onlookers also panicked and retreated a little, encircling the area a little larger. Some were recording videos, some were calling the police, and all sorts of voices of dissuasion were heard one after another. The man seemed very hesitant. Someone was chasing him in the alley behind him and he obviously couldn't go back. There were people everywhere around him and he couldn't run fast even if he ran with the little kid in front of him. The dilemma made him spit. "Damn... why are there so many people today..." "Because it's the weekend..." Good girl Su Xin did not forget to answer the question in this situation. Criminal: ? "Are you teaching me how to do things?" Su Xin coughed a few more times as her hands tightened. "Be honest and stop talking nonsense."
The two sides were in a stalemate. The high temperature under the scorching sun made everyone sweat profusely, which also made the man more irritable and he kept cursing. At this time, Hai Ma walked out of the mall door with her skirt lifted. She looked around and found a circle of people gathered there. She couldn't see what was going on inside from the door. Su Xin, who had agreed to wait at the door, was nowhere to be seen. She felt an ominous feeling in her heart. The feeling became stronger and stronger, so I quickly made a phone call. The ringtone rang in the crowd, and Helena turned pale with fright. The onlookers and the criminals did not expect that the hostage's cell phone would ring at this time. The scene was quiet for a moment, with only the ringtone continuing to ring. “Can I take a call?” The hostage child made the request with an expressionless face, but was rudely rejected by the criminals. "Catch the shit!" Su Xin had no choice but to wait for Helena to come over following the sound. Helena kept dialing and squeezed towards the source of the sound. In the hot summer, she passed through the crowds of people. When she broke through to the innermost, her dress was wrinkled. But she had no time to tidy up her clothes because her child was still in the middle. heart. "refer to--" Su Xin looked at her and pressed her hands slightly at her sides, preventing Helena, who was in tune with her, from shouting out. "Sister, I've been caught." Someone in the crowd complained, "This kid is so carefree," and the scene became inexplicably humorous. Helena was genuinely worried. She raised her hands to show that she was not a threat and stepped forward through the crowd. "Sir, please let my sister go. She is still young and doesn't understand anything." "You don't understand anything? She just criticized me for being on the weekend! Stop talking nonsense, back off!" Helena continued, "Can you please let me take your place? I didn't bring anything with me, and she's still young. If it's me, I can help you leave. The criminal was stunned. He had never seen a hostage's family member who cared so much about him. Which side was she on? I don't think it's right. What if this guy knows karate? Then I'm doomed. I heard that some people who practice karate can dodge bullets. If he gets close to me, I won't be defeated. So the man refused decisively. Since Su Xin was short, the man put the tip of the knife against her back. The cold and stinging sensation made Su Xin shiver involuntarily. "No, back off! Don't try to trick me, I want this little girl!" Helena was angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She had to step back a little and stand in front of the crowd, unwilling to retreat into the crowd. The man no longer cared about her, as he didn't know how to get away and was very anxious and caught in a dilemma. Just at this moment, sirens sounded from a distance. The man suddenly panicked, and Su Xin immediately gave him a look. (._.) Helena deployed her ship gear in an instant, and her small-caliber secondary guns roared and opened fire, firing a shot at the safe position beside the man. The cracked concrete floor and the violent vibration made the man lose consciousness for a moment in fear, and his movements became distorted. Su Xin immediately covered her head and crouched down to defend herself. The tip of the dagger pressed against the skin on her back and cut open her clothes. Before the gangster could react, Helena collected her weapon and rushed forward, kicking him with a whip kick, sending him flying and smashing him to the ground in front of the alley. The people in the alley took a moment to react and came to their senses. They hurriedly rode on the criminal in an attempt to control him, but found that he had lost consciousness. The police cleaned up the mess amid the cheers of the people. Helena checked Su Xin inside and out. Except for the slight redness and swelling under the clothes on her back, she was indeed unharmed. She breathed a sigh of relief and tears fell from her eyes.
But it didn't stop for long. "I'm sorry, Helena, this won't happen again..." Helena shook her head with tears in her eyes. "It's my fault. My SG was not put to good use... I almost... uh... lost Rafi again, I'm sorry... Commander... I'm sorry..." Su Xin didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hug Helena tightly and pat her back gently. Afterwards, everyone was taken back to the police station. After Su Xin and Helena proved their identities, they made a brief statement and left. Su Xin put on her coat and followed Helena back to the port. The two held a small meeting with the ship girls to discuss what had happened before.
