"Eh?"
"I asked Z31 to mention the security guard issue when he goes to the property management office this afternoon," Xiaobai said with a smile. "It would be good if we could organize some special training to improve the quality of the security guards in the community. If we can't improve them, we can replace them with a new batch."
"Admiral! You really are protecting Miss Yu Gan in your own way!" York said, his face full of emotion.
"It was just a small favor. Besides, those security guards are really not professional. They are so dedicated to their work that they can remember all the owners' names, but their behavior is not professional at all. It's really strange."
Chapter 2344 Three-person game
"Exactly! How can there be such an unreasonable person!" York nodded angrily upon hearing Xiaobai's comment.
"Humans are divided into good people and bad people too," Xiaobai said after thinking for a while. "Since there are good people like Miss Yu Gan in the world, there will naturally be bad people like those men. I guess that's what balance is."
"It's so hard to understand..." York stretched his neck out of the bed and nuzzled his head close to Little White like a kitten.
Little White reached out and patted York's head.
York squinted, letting Xiaobai's fingers run through his soft hair and brush against his snow-white chin.
York, who is usually full of energy, is often as obedient as a little animal when he is with Xiaobai. This contrast is quite touching.
Xiao Bai withdrew his palm.
York seemed a little unsatisfied, blinking her bright eyes and gazing expectantly at Little White.
Little White smiled at York.
"York, wanna play a game?"
"Is that okay? Can we play cards?" York quickly sat up, his face beaming with joy.
"Sure, is Baltimore coming too? Three people would be perfect for playing cards."
"Huh? The Admiral plays this game too?"
"Actually, I'm quite strong."
"Great! I won't go out this afternoon!"
York rolled over on the bed, hugged Little White's waist, and said happily.
After giving Yu Gan a day off, Xiao Bai really didn't have anything to do in Pei City. Going out on her own would only increase the risk of exposing her identity. Since she was just idling at home anyway, she might as well spend the day with the ship girls.
Ship girls, you know.
Cute and pretty, who wouldn't like her?
Xiao Bai pulled out a deck of cards from the ship's equipment space and placed it on the bedside table, amidst the longing gazes of Baltimore and York.
Xiaobai spent a leisurely yet fulfilling afternoon.
……
Time passed quickly, and evening arrived.
The hotel rooms were filled with the sound of rushing water.
The shower room door was tightly closed, and the bathroom was filled with steam, through which three slender figures could be seen appearing and disappearing.
"Whoosh—that feels so good!" The shower door was pushed open with a whoosh. "There really is nothing in this world more comfortable than taking a shower before bed!"
York, wearing only a bath towel and covered in water droplets, skipped out of the bathroom, leaving water stains on the floor behind her as she walked.
"York, wipe your body, wipe your body!"
Two figures followed York out.
Baltimore, while drying Little White's hair, looked up at York with a troubled expression and called out, "How many times have I told you? You have to dry yourself properly after your shower before coming out!"
"It's alright, we're all on the same side." York turned around and grinned at Little White and Baltimore, then ran to the bedside, bent over and picked up the playing cards on the bed. "Speaking of which, we still have a lot of time today, want to continue playing cards?"
"You hit the head! Put the cards down, they'll get wet!" Baltimore tidied Little White's hair, then grabbed a towel and ran towards York. "Stand still! I'll dry you!"
"Hey, I can do it myself..."
"No, you just rub your body with a towel every time. How can that get you clean? Stand up straight—wipe your legs first, and stick your right foot out."
Baltimore, like an old mother, squatted down in front of York, nagging and carefully wiping the water droplets off York's body with a towel. York had no choice but to cooperate with Baltimore and was forced to change into various positions under Baltimore's command.
Little White couldn't help but smile as he watched York and Baltimore get along harmoniously.
After changing into her pajamas, Xiaobai approached the window and looked out through the glass. The night sky was clear and bright, with a silvery-white dot of light appearing faintly in the night.
Xiaobai stared at the silvery-white light for a while, then walked to the window and gently opened it.
The hotel where Xiaobai was staying was on a very high floor. After opening the window, a strong cold wind immediately blew in, making Xiaobai's newly styled white hair fly in all directions.
"Wow, it's so cold!"
"Don't move. Turn around. There's still some dirt to be wiped off behind you."
"it is good--"
York and Baltimore's voices came from behind Little White.
Hearing the voice behind him, Xiaobai raised his hand and waved to the night sky outside the window. As if summoned, the faint silver-white light in the night sky transformed into a hidden stream of light and flew rapidly toward Xiaobai's location.
In the blink of an eye, the silvery-white light spot flew precisely through the open window into the guest room and landed in Xiaobai's hand.
Xiaobai closed the window with his other hand.
The cold wind stopped, and the white hair that had been blown about fell neatly back behind Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai reached out and pressed down on the white carrier-based aircraft in his hand, then closed his eyes and felt it for a while.
"Huh? Is this the carrier-based aircraft that the admiral launched today?" York, who had dried himself off, popped out from behind Xiaobai, walked around Xiaobai's shoulder, and looked at the carrier-based aircraft in her hand.
"Yes."
Has it completed its mission?
"Yes, we already know where Miss Yu Gan lives. We also checked around to see if there were any deep-sea signs there." Xiao Bai opened her eyes, retracted the carrier-based aircraft into its ship equipment, and then smiled at York beside her. "Hmm, it seems my worries were unnecessary. There were no deep-sea signs at Miss Yu Gan's place."
"Better safe than sorry. That way, we can go see Miss Yu Gan tomorrow morning!" York said as he put on his pajamas, then climbed into bed, grabbed the playing cards on the bed, and said to Xiaobai with great fighting spirit, "Admiral! So, want to play one more game before going to sleep? I'm sure I can beat you this time!"
Little White smiled as he looked at York, then glanced at Baltimore beside him.
After wiping York's body, Baltimore finally began to take care of herself. She was facing the coat rack, changing into her pajamas, with her back to everyone. Baltimore's pajamas were a pure white one-piece dress, the length of which only reached her thighs. Her rather impressive bust, which was quite impressive for a heavy cruiser ship girl, swayed slightly with her movements. Her pair of long, straight, snow-white legs were accentuated by the lace of the dress, and her white knees looked pink and tender, particularly eye-catching.
Seemingly sensing Xiaobai's gaze, Baltimore stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Xiaobai.
“If the admiral wants to fight, I can come too.” Baltimore nodded, blushing.
"Come on, come on, come on!" York, huddled under the sheets, patted the bed. "Baltimore, get in bed! We're going to have a big battle with the Admiral all night!"
"One night won't do. Even if we don't sleep, the admiral still needs to sleep."
Baltimore said, bending down and climbing into bed.
Chapter 2345 Reason
The next morning, the cries of seagulls could be heard from outside the window from time to time.
Xiao Bai woke up from her sleep and opened her eyes to find herself on the hotel ceiling.
He felt two soft bodies nestled against his sides.
Little White groggily raised his head and looked to both sides. He saw Baltimore and York lying on either side of him, each holding one of his arms and fast asleep.
Xiaobai looked at the faces of the two ship girls beside her and thought for a while.
Last night, Shiro and the ship girls played poker all night long. By the time dawn broke, York still hadn't won a single game against Shiro. Fortunately, after Baltimore's persuasion, York finally gave up her idea of playing until dawn and was finally able to go to sleep peacefully.
Xiaobai gently pulled her arms out of the two ship girls' arms.
Perhaps because they were asleep next to the admiral, York and Baltimore appeared completely unguarded. Even when there were noises around them, the two ship girls did not seem to wake up. However, after losing the object they could hug, they were still somewhat dissatisfied and reached towards the middle of the bed, trying to pull Shiro back into their arms.
Little White gently jumped off the bed, and York and Baltimore, still half asleep, embraced each other, their limbs tightly intertwined.
"Admiral... you've gotten bigger..."
"Admiral, you're limp..."
The two ship girls on the bed murmured softly, half-asleep.
Xiaobai glanced helplessly at the ship girl on the bed, then grabbed her phone from the bedside table and checked the time.
The current time is 10:40 AM.
"hiss……"
Xiao Bai glanced at the time and took a deep breath.
Sure enough, I played cards for too long and ended up sleeping in.
Playing cards can lead to trouble...
Miss Yu Gan is probably waiting for me in the lobby until she's about to explode. The ship girls can sleep a little longer in their rooms, but I need to hurry downstairs and apologize to her…
After changing her clothes, Xiaobai quickly left the guest room and headed down to the hotel lobby.
Xiao Bai rushed back to the hotel lobby and immediately began searching for Yu Gan. He first looked for the spot where Yu Gan had been sitting the previous morning, but it was empty, just a bare seat. Xiao Bai then searched the rest of the lobby, but still couldn't find Yu Gan.
"Huh?" Xiaobai scratched his head, standing in the center of the hall, somewhat puzzled.
"Good morning."
Just then, a polite voice came from the receptionist behind Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai turned her head and saw the male clerk at the counter smiling at her.
This male clerk was quite persistent. Ever since York broke his promise to Yu Gan and gave the suite to other tourists without permission, York had ignored him. Although Xiao Bai and Baltimore did not reject him as much as York, their attitude towards him was still quite indifferent. Even so, he would still greet Xiao Bai and his group warmly every time he saw them, time after time.
"Um...you know Miss Yu Gan, right?" Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then walked to the front desk and asked the clerk.
"Little Sister Yu Gan?"
"Yes, I made plans with her to go out today, but I accidentally overslept. Has she already gone home?" Xiaobai asked.
"No, she hasn't come today." After hearing Xiaobai's words, the shop assistant glanced at the shop door, gave a wry smile, and said, "Of course, it's also possible that she doesn't want to see me right now, so she's staying outside the hotel."
"Uh..." Xiaobai didn't know how to respond to the shop assistant's answer. She awkwardly scratched her cheek, then nodded and said, "Well... thank you. I'll go outside and look for Miss Yu Gan."
"Yes." The shop assistant nodded.
Xiao Bai said goodbye to the shop assistant and walked to the hotel entrance.
The area outside the hotel was bustling with people, and there were many stalls selling toys related to the Deep Sea Academy on both sides of the street.
Xiao Bai held onto the doorknob and searched both sides for a while, but still couldn't find Yu Gan.
"Hmm...that's strange..."
Xiaobai frowned. Just as she was about to turn around and enter the hotel, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards her with a clear purpose.
Xiao Bai stopped what he was doing and looked over.
A middle-aged woman, dressed in a black mink coat, black leather boots, a pearl necklace, and bright red lipstick, was carrying a black handbag and approaching aggressively. Each step she took made a loud thud with her boots.
Ding Ding Deng
The woman walked up to the hotel and looked down at the little white dog at the hotel entrance.
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go of her hand, making way for the hotel entrance.
Ding Ding Deng
The woman picked up her black handbag and walked into the hotel.
A short while after the woman entered the hotel, she could faintly hear voices coming from inside. Xiao Bai noticed that the voices seemed to include those of the hotel staff, which piqued her curiosity. She then returned to the hotel lobby.
Inside the hotel lobby, the middle-aged woman from before was standing at the front desk, arrogantly lecturing the staff.
"Over the past month, the profits of my other stores have been soaring, so why is it that your store's performance hasn't changed at all? Let me be blunt: are you slacking off, or are you lining your own pockets?"
"You've misunderstood. Our store's profits are also increasing..." the clerk apologized meekly to the woman. "As for my work attitude, please investigate further. I absolutely did not do anything shady..."
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't dare." The woman seemed quite satisfied with the clerk's reaction. Her prominent lips curled slightly, and she lightly tapped the table with her hand. "Give me this month's allowance."
"Here it is." The clerk took out a neatly arranged stack of money from under the counter and respectfully handed it to the woman.
The woman took the money, weighed it in her hand with practiced ease, and then stuffed it into her bag.
"I only let you continue as manager because you're honest, understand? You should be grateful." After taking the money, the woman's tone seemed to soften a bit. "Speaking of which, have you dealt with those two unused rooms in the shop that were prepared for those unlicensed tour guides? I told you about them last time."
"It's all taken care of. Now we just need to prepare one room for her."
"One room?" The woman's eyes immediately lit up with displeasure upon hearing the man's words. "Didn't you understand what I meant? I told you to use both rooms! With such a large flow of people in Peicheng right now, do we really need a few more customers?"
