"I've almost finished what I did in Chapter 8. From now on, I can go back to the newbie naval base more often," Xiaobai said to Lexington, making a peace sign. "We can see each other more often now."

"I see... That's really good news." Lexington listened to Xiaobai's words, her gentle eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she reached out to rub Xiaobai's head. "I remember you made a few friends in Chapter 8, right? One of them seems to be quite close to you, almost as close as Admiral Luo Lian... I think her name is Nia? I talked to President Naige on the phone before, and she said that Nia should know about the Super Yamato, so if you have time, you can let her come and have some fun too."

"Huh? Really? Great! Nia will be so happy to hear that."

Xiaobai nodded immediately, hugged Lexington's waist tightly, and rubbed happily against Lexington's full body.

For a moment, Xiaobai felt as if she were rubbing against a soft cotton candy mountain, a feeling that was fragrant, soft, and sweet.

"Thank you, Lexington!"

Chapter 3769 Lexington's Interrogation

When Shiro brought the ship girls to see Lexington, it wasn't anything important.

She just felt that since she had nothing else to do urgently after returning to the newbie naval base, the first thing she had to do was to see Lexington.

Lexington welcomed the ship girls who came to visit her with her unique gentleness and inclusiveness, and she and the ship girls quickly became very happy to chat.

Whether they were veteran ship girls or new ship girls, everyone started talking about what had happened around Shiro recently. They talked for several hours, and the entire admiral's office was filled with the ship girls' continuous laughter.

During this time, Prestige and Counterattack also came to the office several times, bringing snacks and refreshments.

Xiao Bai waved to the reputation and greeted them.

A slight smile played on Shengwang's lips as she bowed slightly to Xiaobai. Behind her, Counterattack couldn't contain his joy, grinning at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai actually wanted to keep the reputation and counterattack characters so he could chat with everyone.

However, as the head maid and chief maid of the naval base, Prestige and Counterattack possess exceptionally high service qualities. At least during working hours, there is no situation in the world that would make them take off their maid outfits to rest.

After Reputation and Counterattack left, Lexington told everyone about what had happened at the naval base during that time.

Compared to the situation around Xiaobai, the situation at Mengxin Town Hall has become much less intense recently.

Most of what Lexington said were interesting stories passed around among the ship girls.

For example, a while ago, Akashi secretly developed a set of "underwear that the Admiral will definitely like". The outfits were flamboyant and extremely sexy and revealing. Many ship girls would cover their eyes and run out as soon as they entered Akashi's shop. However, compared to the ship girls' initial shock, the anonymous sales of the outfits were exceptionally hot. For a time, they were sold out in the naval base. In the end, Lexington intervened and stopped this absurd sales operation.

In the end… Akashi could not escape Lexington's punishment. Her inventory was completely destroyed, and she herself was sentenced by Lexington to a week of community service, cleaning Frederick the Great's prison quarters, on charges of "damaging the Admiral's reputation" and "invading the Admiral's privacy."

Besides these incidents, there was also Quincy and Aoba's second idol singing competition at the naval base. Aoba narrowly lost to Quincy's 371 votes by 362 in the popularity poll, and was so upset that she bit her handkerchief and cried on the spot... Or Akagi won the naval base's eating contest, achieving the superhuman record of eating 132 bowls of ramen in one hour... There was even London, for some unknown reason, going to the cafeteria to help Renown, resulting in two-thirds of the ship girls who ate at the cafeteria that day ending up in the ship girl hospital, which was completely full. The remaining third performed less than half of their usual training volume, and the ship girl cafeteria at the newbie naval base suffered an unprecedented crisis of trust...

……

Even newbies have to work at the naval base.

After chatting into the afternoon, Lexington glanced at the small stack of work piled on his desk, and Xiaobai immediately understood and spoke to Lexington.

"Lexington, let the ship girls go back to their dormitories to rest first. I'll go to work with you and take care of some work-related issues, okay?"

"Yes, that's fine." Lexington nodded with a smile, then looked up at the ship girls and smiled, "Well then, everyone, let's stop here for today. I'll treat you all to a proper meal next time."

"Oh oh oh..."

The ship girls stood up and bowed politely to Lexington in farewell.

"Sister Lexington, let's go back now!"

"Well, let's assign dorm rooms before we go back... Anshan and Illinois will stay with Xiaobai, and as for Jeanbart... since you and your sister are so close, you can stay with your sister for now... As for Jinan..."

"I want to live with the Admiral too! Live together!" Jinan raised his hand with a pitiful expression, jumping up and down.

"Then I'll assign you a dorm room that's close to Xiaobai's."

"Waaaah..." Jinan pitifully lowered her hands.

After quickly settling the ship girls' accommodations, Lexington and Shiro smiled and waved, watching the ship girls leave the office.

The office quickly quieted down, and Xiaobai returned to her desk, pulled out her chair, and sat down.

The familiar softness and the comfortable feeling of her feet leaving the ground made Xiaobai breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sigh, home is still the best," Xiaobai said softly, touching the chair.

"You haven't done any work at the naval base for so long, can you still handle it?" Lexington asked with a smile as she approached Little White.

"Don't underestimate me! I wasn't idle when I was the student council president!"

"Oh dear, the phrase 'never idle'... refers to something like spending a week indulging in a romantic relationship with Admiral Nanxing and incidentally uncovering a human trafficking base?"

"Uh... well... things will work themselves out..." Xiaobai blushed and smiled shyly. She leaned on the table, picked up a page of work documents, and quickly began to review them.

For a newbie, there's absolutely no way they'll be unfamiliar with the work at the naval base.

After all, this is Xiaobai's old profession.

Xiao Bai placed the documents he was reviewing one by one on his desk, quickly piling them up to a noticeable thickness.

Lexington, on the other hand, was in no hurry. She stood beside Xiaobai, brewed a cup of sweet tea for him, placed it beside him, and then tilted her head, gazing warmly at Xiaobai's profile.

Lexington's long hair fell into Xiaobai's field of vision. Xiaobai turned his head and looked up at Lexington.

Lexington tucked her long hair behind her ear and smiled at Little White.

"noob."

"Ok?"

How's Jiajia doing over there lately?

“Very good, very good, she plays video games with Tirpitz every day.”

"Oh?"

"Ah! Of course! She's resting! Her biological clock is very healthy. She definitely doesn't stay up all night playing games, doesn't eat instant noodles with Tirpitz, doesn't skip meals, and doesn't stay cooped up in her room all day..."

"Sigh, I didn't realize the situation was this serious. I guess I'll have to make time to go check on it," Lexington sighed.

"..."

As Xiaobai sensed the laughter in Lexington's words, although the voice still sounded as gentle and warm as a spring breeze, Xiaobai inexplicably felt a pang of sadness for Saratoga's future.

Where does this sorrow come from?

Xiao Bai didn't dare to think about it too much and just focused on dealing with her work.

"Um... Lexington, is Henry doing alright here?" Xiaobai asked.

Regarding the invincible submarine Henry, in order to satisfy her desire for battle, Xiaobai had previously brought her back to the newbie naval base and had Lexington arrange training programs for Henry.

Xiao Bai, of course, believed in Lexington.

In response to Xiaobai's question, Lexington answered crisply.

“Ah…you mean Henry?” Lexington smiled and said, “Henry should be doing well now, but your timing for coming back is a bit off; you probably won’t be able to see her for a while.”

"Huh? What's wrong?"

“Henry is currently away participating in naval exercises,” Lexington said. “He went with U47, U81, Fantasy, and Blackjack. He won’t be back for a while.”

"……Well……"

"Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing..." Xiaobai silently mourned for the ship girls who were doing drills with the newbie naval base for a few seconds, then continued with her work. "Sigh... I hope Henry had fun..."

“Hmm…Speaking of Henry.” Lexington pulled up a chair and sat down next to Xiaobai. She crossed her legs with a smile and gently tapped her fair cheek with her finger. “Xiaobai…you’ve become quite bold lately.”

"Huh? What do you mean?"

“During this time, your relationship with several ship girls in the naval base has progressed rapidly, hasn’t it? If we count Admiral Nanxing, let me count…” Lexington lowered her head and counted on her fingers, “Oh dear… you really have been quite lenient with them.”

"Sigh..." Xiaobai stopped writing. "Wh...what's wrong..."

Why isn't Iowa wearing her ring?

"..." Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Lexington cautiously, "...Lexington...you know about him?"

“I’ve been there, after all,” Lexington said with a smile, cupping her cheeks. “I know better than anyone how a married ship looks at an admiral.”

"Was it really that obvious...?"

"So, Xiaobai, when did you and Iowa become like this?"

"Uh... it was when you, Hood, and Bismarck came to play in Chapter Eight..." Xiaobai put down his pen and turned to Lexington somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh... I see. It seems the three of us were used by Iowa.” Lexington understood, but she wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she nodded with full appreciation. “Hmm... Love and the admiral have to be actively pursued. As expected of the first ship of the Iowa class, I didn’t misjudge her.”

"..." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly.

"So, you made progress that very night?" Lexington asked, unusually curious.

"..." Xiaobai turned her head and nodded awkwardly.

"Hmm? Not that night?" Lexington looked at Xiaobai, raised an eyebrow, then seemed to understand something, covered her mouth and laughed, "Ah... no wonder you disappeared for a while during the movie. Young people these days seem to be having a lot of fun."

"Don't...don't say it..." Xiaobai blushed and awkwardly waved her hand at Lexington.

Little White couldn't hide any secrets from Lexington at all.

This was the first time Xiaobai had realized that having his secrets exposed by Lexington, word by word, was such a shameful thing.

Chapter 3770 Jinan Conference

Xiao Bai suddenly had the illusion that he was being gently tortured by Lexington.

"Lexington, let's not talk about me right now..." Little White said awkwardly to Lexington, wiping his cheek. "Let's talk about something else..."

"Hmm, that's fine too." Lexington nodded with a light laugh. "So, Little White, what else would you like to talk about?"

"Hmm... let's just talk about anything else..." Xiaobai turned her head, rubbed her fingers on the work documents in front of her, and then said, "For example... oh, right, Lexington, actually there's one more thing we need to do when we come back this time."

"So you really do have something to do. I saw you all rushing around like you were on a mission." Lexington rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at Little White. "Well, tell me, what else do you want to do this time you're back?"

"It's not a big deal... Actually, it's because of Jinan." Xiaobai put down his pen and introduced to Lexington, "I've mentioned Jinan's abilities before... She can unlock the missile equipment potential of ship girls. This time, I brought her back to the newbie naval base because I felt there were more excellent ship girls here than in Chapter 8, and I wanted her to find a place to unleash her power."

"Uncovering the potential of missile-equipped ship girls..." Lexington nodded upon hearing this. "I understand. After you finish your work, Xiaobai, are you going to go with Jinan to find ship girls with missile talent?"

“Yes…” Xiaobai said, looking at Lexington cautiously, “…Is it okay?”

Lexington Wan'er.

"What, is it a rare opportunity to make the girls in the naval base even more powerful? Do you really think I would refuse, Xiaobai?" Lexington covered her mouth and chuckled. "Besides, I'm just a secretary ship. What right do I have to refuse you, Xiaobai? The scheduling of ship girls in this naval base... in the end, it's all up to you, Xiaobai, the admiral."

"I won't do anything that Lexington doesn't agree with..."

“There are so many things I disagreed with, and you did just as much of them.” Lexington crossed her legs, smiled, and started counting on her fingers, “For example, wearing ship armor as a human, releasing the Deep Sea Yamato from prison, keeping Pachina, Deep Sea Bismarck, Deep Sea Tirpitz and other Deep Sea directors at home, leaving a terrifying being like Frederick the Great in the naval base, and finally, giving rings to the Deep Sea directors and so on…”

As Lexington was speaking, he suddenly realized that Little White had fallen silent.

Lexington looked up and saw Little White holding his head, lying on the table with an embarrassed expression.

"Lexington, I'm sorry..."

Xiaobai lay on the table, with an embarrassed expression that said, "I am a sinner of the naval base, and I am very sorry."

Lexington's gaze lingered on Little White for a moment, then she smiled and covered her mouth.

"puff."

Lexington let out a crisp laugh, then patted Little White on the shoulder.

"Alright, alright... Xiaobai, get up. I'm not blaming you."

"Really...really?" Xiaobai carefully straightened up, supporting herself on the table.

Lexington gazed at Little White, his eyes filled with warmth and profound meaning.

"Xiaobai, even I can't guarantee that every decision I make is correct. I used to object to your getting too close to the Abyssal Commanders, but now I must admit that Yamato is an outstanding partner. Her abilities are no less than any other ship girl, and she possesses a touching tolerance and gentleness in her bones. Our naval base should be grateful for her contributions. As for Pachina and the other Abyssal Commanders... some of them may be lazy and idle, but their nature is far from the cruelty described by humans. And as for your ship equipment... without your extraordinary strength, our naval base might be facing an insurmountable predicament right now. It has been proven that in matters of great importance, your intuition is often more accurate than mine. As an admiral, this is a remarkably excellent ability."

As Lexington spoke, she smiled and reached out to pat Little White on the head.

"I've gone a bit off-topic... but Xiaobai, what I'm trying to say is that you've done very well in the past, and you will definitely do very well in the future, it's that simple."

"Waaah... Lexington, you're so kind." Little White looked at Lexington with emotion.

"If you want to thank me, what should I do?" Lexington smiled and opened his arms to Little White.

"Hug me!!!" Little White understood immediately and jumped into Lexington's reassuring embrace, nuzzling against him.

Little White rubbed against Lexington's chest.

Lexington also bent down slightly and put her arm around Xiaobai's shoulder. Strands of Lexington's hair fell to the tip of Xiaobai's nose and brushed against Xiaobai's cheek, bringing a touch of Lexington's mature charm.

Being in Lexington's arms...it's truly reassuring.

Soft, fragrant, warm, and spacious, it's like a haven specially designed for a little white rabbit.
