"Hmm?" Xiaobai stopped and turned to look at Nanxing.
Nanxing silently stepped forward and took Xiaobai's hand in her right hand.
In front of Xiaobai, Nanxing pulled open his clothes and pressed Xiaobai's hand onto his body.
Xiao Bai was stunned.
"Huh? Sister Nanxing, what's wrong...?"
"A parting gift." Nanxing pressed Xiaobai's hand through her clothes, looking at her with pure and honest eyes, "because you seem to really like this..."
"……"noob.
So this is how Nanxing sees me now?
A sense of sorrow welled up in Xiaobai's heart.
Although Xiaobai felt that Nanxing's judgment was absolutely correct.
After Nanxing let go, Xiaobai slowly withdrew his hand from her bosom.
"If only it were nighttime now." Xiaobai held the hand that still held Nanxing's warmth and sighed suddenly. "Then I could stay another day."
“…” Nanxing silently buttoned up her coat, and then she said, “…Going home was the right thing to do.”
"Mmm..." Xiaobai hugged Nanxing reluctantly, "Goodbye, Sister Nanxing."
"Goodbye." Nanxing lowered her head and gently kissed Xiaobai's forehead.
The two separated, and Xiaobai waved to Nanxing before opening the door to the teleportation room and going inside.
Nanxing stood in front of the teleportation room door and waited for a while. After a few minutes, Nanxing walked forward and reached out to open the teleportation room door.
The door opened, revealing a spacious room covered in metal.
Inside the room, Shiro and Yamato had vanished without a trace.
Nanxing stood silently in front of the empty room for a while, then slowly left the room, closed the door, returned to the living room, and sat on the sofa to work on her documents.
rustling...
The sound of a fountain pen scratching on paper echoed in the living room.
Nanxing wrote some documents for a while, then looked up at the clock in the living room.
It's a little past 10 a.m. now, the sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the ship girls are laughing and chatting.
Nanxing touched his chest.
The sensation of Xiaobai's fingers still lingers here.
Nanxing silently pressed her chest.
Nanxing had never felt such anticipation for the night to fall as she did now.
……
A teleportation vortex appeared in the cold food warehouse.
As the vortex expanded, Shiro and Super Yamato emerged from it one after another.
"Phew...back to Chapter 8."
After Xiaobai stepped out of the vortex, she took a deep breath. The aroma mixed with the scent of fruits and vegetables wafted into her nose, instantly giving her a feeling of nostalgia.
Unbeknownst to her, Chapter 8 had actually begun to bring a sense of home to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai glanced back at Chao Yamato.
He pulled back the teleportation vortex, caught up with Xiaobai, and exchanged a glance with her.
"Admiral?" Chao Da asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's so good to have you by my side!" Xiaobai said with a smile.
"..." Chao Dahe was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head slightly, and her snow-white cheeks immediately turned slightly red. "...Thank you, Admiral."
As the two left the warehouse, they bumped into several ship girls from Nia's family.
The ship girls of Nia's family immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight when they saw Xiaobai return.
"Hey! Admiral Lu Lin, you're back!"
"Hello everyone." Xiaobai smiled and waved to the ship girls. "I just got back. Are Nia and Lianlian still at the naval base?"
"Ah... Commander, she should be setting sail in the 8-4 sea area right now..." The ship girls looked at each other, then said to Xiaobai, "As for Admiral Luo Lian, she's been staying at the training ground these past two days, training the ship girls at home."
"Oh...I see, thank you."
"You're welcome, Admiral Lu Lin!"
The ship girls, all dressed up and smiling, greeted Xiaobai warmly.
"Admiral Lu Lin, remember to come visit us when you have time!"
"I'll definitely go if I have the chance!"
Xiaobai smiled and nodded, watching the ship girls from Nia's family leave with beaming smiles.
After the ship girls left, Shiro smiled and spoke to the super-dashian behind her.
"Chao Yamato, you should go find Yamato-neechan and the others too. I'll go check on Rei first, and then I'll go say hello to Yamato-neechan later."
"Okay!" Super Yamato nodded quickly when he heard that he could go find Deep Sea Yamato.
Xiaobai and Chaoda split up and went to the training ground first.
The atmosphere on the training field was as lively as ever.
When Xiaobai arrived at the training ground, she saw rows of ship girls fiercely battling with the training ship girls from the newbie naval base.
—However, even though it's called a battle, it's quite obvious that the ship girls in the newbie naval base were holding back to a large extent.
With the help of the novice naval commander, Luo Lian's ship girls dodged the raging artillery fire in rows on the water, searching for opportunities to launch counterattacks in the almost unsolvable gaps. The scene was extremely tense and deadlocked for a time.
Luo Lian's figure... was sitting in the audience at this moment.
Luo Lian had her back to Xiao Bai, occasionally glancing up at the training ground before scribbling away in her notebook.
Xiao Bai walked onto the stands of the training field.
The ship girls who were organizing training supplies around the audience area immediately lit up when they saw Shiro, and wanted to call out Shiro's name.
Xiao Bai quickly made a shushing gesture to the ship girls, then smiled and pointed at Luo Lian.
The ship girls covered their mouths knowingly, staring wide-eyed at Xiaobai and Luolian.
Xiao Bai tiptoed closer to Luo Lian, then suddenly pounced on her and reached out to cover her eyes.
"Guess who I am?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"Oh, it's Xiaobai," Luo Lian replied, her voice showing no surprise.
Xiaobai let go of her hand.
Luo Lian turned around, a slight smile on her lips.
“Lianlian, you’re not surprised at all. Did you already know I was coming?” Xiaobai said.
“Yes.” Luo Lian nodded.
"Sigh, I thought I could give Lianlian a surprise." Xiaobai sighed.
Xiao Bai didn't ask Luo Lian how she discovered her arrival... Anyway, with Luo Lian's intelligence, she had plenty of ways to find Xiao Bai's trail.
"You can come over while I'm sleeping next time," Luo Lian said, her gaze lingering briefly on Xiao Bai's hand before adding, "Did you just get back from Admiral Nanxing's place?"
"Yes."
“It seems you two get along very well,” Luo Lian said.
"Um... Sister Nanxing and I..." Xiaobai opened her mouth, but she closed it halfway through and smiled shyly.
Nanxing once told Xiaobai that it was best not to tell anyone outside the naval base about their relationship...
Although the essence of this statement is that Nanxing doesn't want to bring too much attention and trouble into her life, considering this need, Luo Lian should also be among the options for being informed.
However, Luo Lian wasn't exactly a newbie garrison member in the strictest sense. Even though Xiao Bai trusted Luo Lian and believed in her ability to keep her mouth shut, out of respect for Nan Xing's wishes, Xiao Bai kept the matter to herself.
I'll ask Sister Nanxing later if I can tell Lianlian about this...
The four of them—Nanxing, Nia, and I—have at least gone to a pajama party together. As for Nanxing… Xiaobai thinks she shouldn’t be too resistant to telling them about this.
However, it's probably okay to not say anything about this kind of thing.
Luo Lian's intelligence is something that, even if it's not explicitly stated, she will eventually be able to sense from the way the two of them interact.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai looked at Luo Lian, whose eyes were burning with desire, and shook her head.
"Ah...it's alright, we really do get along very well."
Xiao Bai smiled slightly at Luo Lian and said mysteriously.
Chapter 3383 Research Group
"Hmm...we get along very well."
Luo Lian turned her gaze away from Xiao Bai, murmured softly, and opened her notebook to flip through it.
"Lianlian, are you still using the same method to train the ship girls?" Xiaobai leaned closer and asked curiously.
“Yes.” Luo Lian nodded. “Having rookie naval base ship girls as sparring partners is the best option for improving the ship girls’ combat skills. This high-intensity training also makes it easier for me to formulate training plans for the ship girls and shorten the time it takes for the naval base’s combat power to take shape.”
"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded.
Just then, the training combat came to an end.
The ship girls of Luo Lian Naval Base seemed to have been completely drained. They first forced themselves to bow to the new ship girls of the naval base, and then dragged their tired bodies ashore, collapsing haphazardly on the floor and panting heavily.
A figure staggered up to the stands, crawling like a caterpillar to Xiaobai and Luo Lian.
"Admiral... I... I can't take it anymore... You... you should let me go back..."
Red dress and blonde hair.
He was soaked to the bone, as if all his strength had been drained.
Warspite lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly pathetic in front of Shiro for the first time.
Luo Lian closed her notebook.
"You can't even handle this little bit of hardship? You're the secretary ship of our naval base." Luo Lian said to Warspite on the ground, "If you don't put in more effort, how will you catch up with everyone's progress?"
"Waaaaah... I don't want to be a secretary ship anymore... Admiral, waaaah... Being a ship girl isn't fun at all..." Warspite lay on the ground, not even lifting her head, filled with sorrow and despair. "How about you assign me to logistics, Admiral..."
"What are you talking about? You are my only secretary ship." Luo Lian crossed her legs, propped her chin on one hand, and looked down at Warspite on the ground. "No one else can serve as the secretary ship of this naval base except you."
"No—" came the mournful cry of war-weariness.
Little White covered her mouth and watched Warspite on the ground.
"Lianlian, Miss Warspite looks very tired. Should we let her rest for a while?" Xiaobai asked softly.
"Hey? Admiral Lu Lin, when did you get back?!" Warspite looked up sharply and stared at Xiaobai as soon as he heard Xiaobai's voice.
"Good morning, Warspite." Little White smiled and waved to Warspite.
"Admiral Lu...Admiral Lu Lin...I miss you so much..." Warspite bit her lip, her whole body trembling with sobs, her eyes immediately filled with tears.
Warspite is now really missing those carefree days when she was on vacation at the newbie naval base...
Since returning to Luo Lian's side, Yan Zhan feels like he's no longer living a human life...
Being the secretary ship of a top ten naval base is really tough...
Training, training, training—it's training that never ends.
Fighting a group of smiling, invincible enemies, and getting utterly crushed, is a torment for a war-weary mind and body.
Admiral Lu Lin, take me back...
I want to go back to the newbie naval base and enjoy myself...
Warspite opened its mouth pitifully, really wanting to tell Xiaobai what was on its mind.
Little White squatted down next to Warspite, smiling as he reached out and patted her head.
"Don't worry, the training plan I devised for Warspite has taken into account rest arrangements," Luo Lian said from the side. "I believe that Warspite will be completely transformed after the training ends."
