Elder brother's garrison

Page 2658

Xiaobai will only use the "color scheme" to name her closest people. These are people she has only met briefly and may never have the chance to meet again in the rest of her life. They are definitely not fortunate enough to enjoy it.

……

But then again.

Although Xiaobai had no trouble dealing with the guests, she simply couldn't handle the endless stream of visitors. Even if she could manage, Nanxing, a severe socially anxious person, probably wouldn't be able to keep up.

So for the past two days, Xiao Bai simply left the Nanxing Garrison and went to the Shenzhen Hospital alone, only returning at night.

When guests heading to the Nanxing Garrison see that Xiaobai is not there, they immediately lose interest in staying. After making up some polite and respectable remarks, they quickly say goodbye to Nanxing and leave.

Xiao Bai thus began to live a leisurely life.

Several days later.

That noon, Xiaobai was resting on the sofa in Nanxing's mother's office.

Little White rested her head on Missouri's lap, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, her eyes wide open, staring upwards.

Missouri smiled and lowered her head slightly. She held her phone up to her chest, the screen hovering in the air towards Xiaobai, playing a currently popular online drama.

In the quiet room, the sounds of male and female characters competing in their delivery of lines from the web series echoed all around.

The harmonious atmosphere in the room was quickly shattered.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open with a whoosh.

"Little Lu Lin, are you there?" Nanxing's mother pushed open the door. She looked at the two people who were intimately snuggling together on the sofa. Her eyes widened for a moment, then turned into a smile. "Oh dear... I'm sorry, I seem to have come at the wrong time. You two were busy."

"Oh! No rush, no rush! Auntie, we were just testing out how to use a phone..." Xiaobai quickly stood up, blushing as she patted her cheeks and gently smoothed her long hair, which was tangled with Missouri's. "Auntie, I'm free. What's up?"

Missouri turned off her phone, smiled, and stood up with Xiaobai, her legs straight and pressed together, and politely bowed to Nanxing's mother.

"Good afternoon, Auntie."

Good afternoon...

Nanxing's mother responded, her gaze sweeping over Missouri, and after a long while, she sighed for some unknown reason.

Even with a mother-in-law's discerning eye, it would be difficult to find any fault with Missouri's appearance, figure, demeanor, etiquette, or even the curve of her smile.

Even Nanxing's mother couldn't help but exclaim that this was such a perfect ship girl.

Compared to Missouri, my daughter is practically a blockhead... Sigh...

Nanxing's mother didn't dwell too much on the "other people's children" thoughts. She quickly regained her composure and started talking to Xiaobai and Missouri.

"Little Lu Lin, if you have some free time, why don't you come out with me? I have a surprise for you."

"Surprise? What is it?" Xiaobai asked curiously, exchanging a glance with Missouri beside her, before getting up and walking towards Nanxing's mother.

"Auntie, may I go to Missouri too?" Missouri followed with a smile, poised and confident.

“Okay, everyone come on over.” Nanxing’s mother smiled at Missouri, nodded and turned around. “Don’t be too surprised when you see it later.”

"Oh?"

Xiao Bai blinked as she listened to Nanxing's mother's words.

Nanxing's mother led Xiaobai and Missouri out of the office, and then walked to the entrance of another room on the same floor.

The room's entrance sign was blank, but the door was tightly closed, and there was no sound from inside.

Xiao Bai looked curiously at Nanxing's mother, only to see Nanxing's mother take out a bunch of keys from her body and hand them to Xiao Bai with a smile.

"Give."

"Huh? For me?"

"Yes."

"Auntie, this is..." Xiaobai reached out and took the keys. She looked at the keychain in her hands with curiosity and asked softly.

There were three keys on the keychain that Nanxing's mother handed over.

Xiaobai recognized the groove shape on one of the keys; it was the key to Nanxing's mother's office. However, this one was brand new, with no wear on the gear grooves, making it shiny.

“This key is for my office, and this one is for your uncle’s clinic.” Nanxing’s mother reached out and fiddled with the two keys on the keychain, then said with a smile, “As for this last key… just like you see now, this is yours.”

Chapter 3732 A Date in Wisconsin

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at the last key on the keychain in surprise, then looked up at the closed door in front of her, and suddenly seemed to realize something, "Could it be... that the door this key opens is..."

“That’s right, this is the door.” Nanxing’s mother reached out and touched Xiaobai’s head, and said with a smile, “This room in front of you will be your private office from now on.”

"For me?"

"Yes, open it and take a look." Nanxing's mother smiled and put down her hand, gesturing to Xiaobai to open the door.

Xiaobai took her own key from the keychain, inserted it into the lock, and opened the door.

With a creak, the door opened smoothly.

After the door opened, there was a room with a layout almost identical to Nanxing's mother's office, except that the furniture in this office looked much more high-end.

"Wow," Xiaobai exclaimed.

"Are you satisfied?" Nanxing's mother asked from the side.

"Such a nice office, is it alright if I have it?" Xiaobai turned her head and asked Nanxing's mother.

Strictly speaking, this office, in terms of its size, luxury, and even the price of its furniture, is far inferior to Xiaobai's admiral's office... But Xiaobai is not the kind of person who "doesn't know what's good for others." She knows perfectly well what a normal hospital office should look like, and she certainly knows that the condition of this office is already the best resource that Shenzhen Hospital can utilize.

"Little Lu Lin, don't talk nonsense. You're the backbone of our Shenzhen Hospital now." Nanxing's mother covered her mouth and laughed as she listened to Xiaobai's words. "You're the only doctor in the whole world who can cure severe deep-sea infections. Don't even mention a mere office. It wouldn't be too much for you to have me come and serve you tea and water every day. If someone has an office and better treatment than you, they'd feel like they're sitting on pins and needles without you even having to ask."

"Forehead……"

"Besides, it's quite strange that you, as the top doctor in our hospital, never had your own office. Since you've been staying at the hospital for a while, I'll get you a room too," Nanxing's mother explained to Xiaobai. "I've noticed you enjoy spending time with me, so I arranged the room layout according to my own. As for the furniture... I chose some more upscale pieces, but I don't know if they'll suit your taste."

"Actually, I won't be staying at the hospital for very long..." Xiaobai scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Won't that be a waste?"

“It won’t be a waste to have your name on the wall,” Nanxing’s mother smiled. “Actually, I prepared this room a couple of days ago, but I haven’t told you about it until now, mainly because I’ve been waiting for an opportunity.”

"Chance?"

"Yes." Nanxing's mother pointed to the office wall.

Following Nanxing's mother's gaze, Xiaobai looked towards the office and saw three brocade banners hanging on the wall.

"Wonderful rejuvenation!"

"A living Hua Tuo!"

"Your kindness is like a second life!"

The three brocade banners, with red backgrounds and yellow characters, resembled surging, burning flames, making them exceptionally vibrant and eye-catching.

"This is..." Xiaobai opened his mouth.

"These are from the critically ill patients you saved before, brought by Ba (San) Lin Jiu Ling Qi Jiu Shan. Oh, by the way, Xiao Si Yu's family is among them." Nan Xing's mother walked to the banners and smiled as she gently raised the third banner, which read "Gratitude Like Rebirth." "This is the one. I was thinking of calling you over to see it after all the banners were collected. What do you think?"

Xiao Bai gently stroked her chest, her gaze falling on the banner hanging on the wall.

"I feel... how should I put it... very relaxed."

"Healing the sick and saving lives, prolonging life—that's the meaning of practicing medicine." Nanxing's mother put down her hand, smiled, walked up to Xiaobai, and said to Xiaobai.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiaobai looked at Nanxing's mother.

"Alright, the office is all set up, so you can all enjoy yourselves," Nanxing's mother said with a smile. "I still have some things to do, so I'll go back to work."

After finishing her speech, Nanxing's mother waved to Xiaobai and Missouri and left the office.

Xiao Bai walked to the guest sofa in the office, sat down gently, and stroked the texture of the sofa cushion with her palm.

"I feel like I have more and more offices. There's one at the naval base, one in Chapter 8, and now there's one at Shenzhen Hospital..." Xiaobai murmured to himself, his eyes constantly scanning the office layout.

“This is also proof of the admiral’s ability, isn’t it?” Missouri smiled and sat down next to Xiaobai. “Oh dear, this sofa is more spacious than the previous one. It seems like two people can lie down side by side now.”

"..."

"..."

"Then...would you like to give it a try?"

Xiao Bai clutched his chest and cautiously asked Missouri.

“…” Missouri opened her eyes slightly, her eyes as clear as water. “If it’s worth a try, then so be it.”

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Missouri leaned closer to Little White, bending down slightly and gently bringing her lips to Little White's mouth.

Little White gently leaned towards Missouri, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a thud.

"Admiral! I heard we have a new office at the hospital!!!" Wisconsin excitedly pressed the office door and jumped in. She exclaimed in surprise to Xiaobai inside, but halfway through her sentence, she saw Xiaobai covering her mouth, turning her head to the side, bending over, her face burning red like red wine. "Yay! Now we finally don't have to hide in the screening room and... uh, Admiral? What are you and Missouri doing?"

"Cough cough... No, it's nothing..." Xiaobai rubbed her slightly sore lips and gave Wisconsin a wry smile. "Wisconsin, you came so fast."

"Yes, I just saw Admiral Nanxing's mother downstairs. She told me you have a new office, and she even gave me the address, so I came up to find you!" Wisconsin said with a smug smile, hands on her hips. "See? My information network is super sharp, isn't it! You came at just the right time!"

"It really is quite timely..." Xiaobai said with mixed feelings.

Wisconsin walked into the office, put her hands behind her back, walked around the room, stood in front of the three banners and nodded, then sat down in her office chair and walked around again. Afterwards, she went to the water dispenser, filled a glass of water, and gulped it down.

"This room is so boring, Admiral," Wisconsin said to Shiro, holding an empty water glass. "Isn't there any entertainment center, swimming pool, or internet cafe?"

"There wasn't an office to begin with..."

"But you had it in the office in Chapter Eight."

“That’s different after all…” Xiaobai scratched his cheek and smiled.

Missouri, who was next to Xiaobai, wiped her lips with a handkerchief. She slowly got up, went to Wisconsin's side, and then reached out to pinch Wisconsin's waist.

"Ouch—!" Wisconsin suddenly screamed as her soft flesh was pinched. Her eyes widened immediately, she clutched her lower back, and took several steps back. "Missouri, what are you doing! It hurts and it tickles!"

"Sigh, I guess this is karma." Missouri sighed, a rare occurrence for her. "It's alright now, Wisconsin."

"What retribution?" Wisconsin looked blankly at the smiling Xiaobai, then at Missouri's profile. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Oh! That's right! I'd forgotten!"

Wisconsin seemed to suddenly remember something important. She clutched her lower back and said to Xiaobai.

"Admiral! Speaking of which, don't you still owe me a date?"

"A date... oh, you mean the exercise you did with Veneto and the others last time?" Xiaobai nodded. "Yes, that's right."

"Sister Iowa said last time that she had already asked you, Admiral, to claim her prize. How annoying! We clearly agreed to go together." Wisconsin muttered to herself, but as she spoke, she stopped in front of Xiaobai and gave him a bright, spirited smile. "Admiral, are you free today? How about we go on a date later to fulfill our promise?"

"Huh? Today?"

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity to come to Shenzhen, and there are so many fun places here."

"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just..."

Xiaobai was a little dazed, and she glanced at Missouri.

Missouri wiped her mouth and sat to the side. She felt Xiaobai's gaze and then looked over, revealing a faint smile.

Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze and looked towards Wisconsin.

Wisconsin was unaware of the eye contact between Little White and Missouri.

She remained engrossed in her own enjoyment.

"Admiral, didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal when we went to the human trafficker village last time? Since we're going to do both trips together, let's go out and have some fun!"

"Should we use both chances together?" Missouri asked from the side.

"correct."

"As expected of you," Missouri said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Wisconsin said to Missouri, "Let me make this clear, this date is only for the Admiral and me! Even if you and Iowa come, it's not allowed!"

“Alright, alright.” Missouri nodded with a smile, and said to Wisconsin with a smile, “Missouri will stay here obediently and wait for you and the Admiral to return, Wisconsin.”

"This is right!"

Wisconsin immediately came to Xiaobai's side and reached out to pull Xiaobai up from the sofa.

Xiao Bai felt herself being pulled into the air in an instant, her buttocks and feet dangling in the air for a moment, and then a pair of slender and flexible arms wrapped around her.

Refreshing, cool, with smooth curves and spaciousness.

Little White unknowingly snuggled into Wisconsin's arms, where she hooked her legs and lifted her up.
