Elder brother's garrison

"Changchun, did you use chopsticks before the renovation? How about after the renovation?"

"Ah...me, me?" Changchun blinked, glanced cautiously at Xiaobai beside her, and then smiled shyly at the ship girls. "Chopsticks...actually, when we were still destroyers, I wasn't very good at using them either, but after we were converted into missile destroyers, I inexplicably became quite proficient at using them."

"Wow, I never expected that retrofitting would come with such benefits," the ship girls said, looking at each other.

“I think it’s probably because Sister Changchun’s transformation was a cross-faction transformation.” Frank pushed up his glasses. “This kind of transformation is very rare; ordinary transformations probably wouldn’t work.”

"Oh...that's true..."

"Oh! This lion's head meatball is so delicious."

"Right, right? I specially asked someone in the cafeteria to make this for me!"

"..."

The ship girls at the dinner table chatted casually and relaxedly, without any airs. The topics of conversation drifted around like the wind, sometimes here, sometimes there.

1913 sat quietly at the dining table, surrounded by the ship girls laughing and chatting. Her gaze gently fell on the little white girl beside her.

Xiao Bai was chatting with Changchun and Chaoda when she seemed to sense 1913's gaze. As she spoke, Xiao Bai turned her head and smiled at 1913.

"1913, was the food good?" Xiaobai asked.

"very delicious."

"Okay, as long as you like it." Xiaobai nodded. She looked at the almost untouched rice and the half-eaten ribs in 1913's bowl, pondered for a moment, then picked up her chopsticks, picked up a stir-fried vegetable, and handed it to 1913's bowl. "Would you like some vegetables?"

"..." 1913 looked at Xiaobai, who didn't reply for a moment, but suddenly smiled.

"Huh? Wait a minute... Don't you like it when people serve you food...? Ah, sorry, sorry..." Xiaobai looked at 1913's smile and suddenly realized what was going on. She quickly put her chopsticks and vegetables back. "Then I'll eat by myself..."

However, just as Xiaobai's chopsticks were retracted from 1913's bowl, the next second, 1913 gently picked up the chopsticks and used the tips of the chopsticks to gently press Xiaobai's chopsticks and vegetables into his rice.

"Admiral, my apologies," 1913 said softly to Xiaobai. "I like green vegetables, please be sure to leave some for me."

"Ah... well, okay... as long as you don't hate it..." Xiaobai blinked, looking at 1913's face so close to hers, and gently pulled her chopsticks away from 1913's rice bowl.

When Xiaobai retracted her chopsticks, because 1913 deliberately didn't retract his chopsticks, the tips of her chopsticks lightly brushed against 1913's chopsticks.

Some of the stir-fried vegetable broth got on Xiaobai's chopsticks, and this broth also clung to 1913's chopsticks as they rubbed together.

After Xiaobai put her chopsticks away, 1913 picked up the greens Xiaobai had given her, put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly. After swallowing the greens, 1913 looked at the soup residue on the tip of her chopsticks, gently put the tip of the chopsticks in her mouth, twirled the chopsticks with her fingertips, pursed her moist red lips, and looked as clear as water.

Looking at 1913's actions, Xiaobai had a subtle feeling that he had been teased, but he couldn't find any evidence for the time being.

"Admiral." Just then, 1913 put down his chopsticks and spoke to Xiaobai.

"Hmm? What's up?"

“This naval base is truly peaceful,” 1913 said to Xiaobai. “The people here are also very friendly, and I can sense that they are content and happy.”

"Hmm...that seems to be the case?"

"We owe all of this to the Admiral."

"Eh? I, I didn't really do anything, it's mainly because of the legacy my brother left behind..." Xiaobai scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

“The Admiral’s existence is the greatest significance.” 1913 said to Xiaobai, her eyes suddenly becoming affectionate and gentle. “Moreover, Admiral, you are so easy to satisfy other people’s fantasies.”

"Hmm? Daydreaming?" Xiaobai looked at 1913 blankly.

1913 bent down and picked up the remaining half of the rib from the bowl.

Just before 1913 brought the ribs to her mouth, a pink figure suddenly pounced on her side, and then a small mouth appeared in front of 1913's chopsticks, biting the rib meat off the chopsticks.

Xiaobai and 1913 looked to one side.

On the other side of 1913, Jinan was pouting angrily, chewing on the half piece of pork rib that had just been snatched away, her eyes blinking as she looked at Xiaobai and 1913.

"Mmm mmm..." Jinan chewed, gently pounding 1913's body with her little cotton candy-like fists, and said in a huffy, coquettish voice, "Sister 1913 is so mean! This is my seat, right? Now Sister 1913 has taken my seat and is flirting with the Admiral while eating. I'm so unhappy!"

"Jinan, has anyone ever said that you sound like you're being coquettish when you're angry?" Xiaobai smiled at Jinan.

"I'm not being coquettish at all! I'm being very serious! I want the Admiral to serve me food too! I'm unhappy, unhappy, unhappy!" Jinan shook her body angrily, placing her two small hands on 1913's thighs, and said to 1913, "If this keeps up, 1913 will steal the wedding ring the Admiral gave to Jinan! How dangerous, the future is so dangerous—uh-pfft!"

As Jinan finished speaking, she perched on 1913's lap like a little penguin.

But at that moment, 1913 gently embraced Jinan and easily pulled her into his arms.

Jinan's face was pressed directly into 1913's embrace, facing his vast, mountain-surrounded bosom. Jinan fluttered around like a little chick in 1913's arms, waving her arms and legs wildly in the air. After a few seconds, she suddenly became quiet.

In 1913, he slowly released his arms.

Jinan, however, did not escape.

Jinan's hands hung down, her legs straddled 1913's thighs, and her whole body floated lightly in 1913's arms, motionless.

Xiao Bai watched Jinan in amazement from the side.

Xiaobai thought Jinan was asleep again. She was curious and wanted to get closer to observe Jinan's condition when she saw Jinan's little head suddenly turn on 1913's chest, and a happy face was facing Xiaobai.

"Mmm... Mmm... It's so soft and smells so good here, it feels so comfortable to lie on..."

"Sister 1913... let me lie down a little longer..."

Jinan turned her face to the side, her expression one of complete absorption, as if she had lost all strength to resist.

1913 gently touched Jinan's head. She seemed to sense Xiaobai's surprised gaze and turned her head to look at Xiaobai.

"Hey... 1913, how did you do that?" Xiaobai asked 1913.

"Would the Admiral like to give it a try?" 1913 asked with a smile.

"Um... this... this is..." Xiaobai subconsciously wanted to answer, but looking at Jinan nestled peacefully in 1913's arms like a little pet, she suddenly fell silent for a moment, "... Won't... it be too much trouble for you?"

"Admiral, please don't mind. You are welcome to come to me anytime I am available."

1913 smiled at Little White.

Chapter 3830 Pompeii Weeps

As expected of a ship girl born from a dream, 1913's body seems quite dreamlike. With just a gentle embrace, the overwhelming feeling and experience completely disarmed Jinan, who was intoxicated by her beauty and no longer resisted.

Even newbies watching this are a little envious of Jinan.

However... Xiaobai knew that 1913 was definitely joking about her invitation, so she just scratched her head awkwardly and smiled at 1913.

"Ah... well, thank you then."

"..." A flicker of emotion crossed 1913's eyes. She nodded to Xiaobai, placed one hand on Jinan's back, and picked up her chopsticks with the other, taking a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

The other ship girls at the table watched this scene with regret and sighs.

Sigh...it's too fast, too fast...

This newcomer's fighting power is simply too strong...

This is hardly the image of a refined young lady; she's clearly a fully grown vixen!

……

The meal went smoothly in the end, and everyone enjoyed the rest of the time.

Jinan nestled happily in 1913's arms, and 1913 was able to continue sitting next to Xiaobai, chatting and eating with Xiaobai from time to time with Changchun and Chao Yamato. During this time, the other ship girls at the table asked 1913 questions, and 1913 responded with impeccable manners and etiquette.

After the meal, 1913 hugged Jinan and chatted with Changchun and Chaoda.

Xiao Bai found a seat in the renovation center and began writing his 10,000-word self-criticism.

—Lexington said that the ship girls' apology letters can be written casually, but Xiaobai's apology letter cannot be missing a single word.

As for Lexington's "punishment," Xiaobai had no complaints—after all, she had indeed done something that gave Lexington a big fright.

While a 10,000-word self-criticism would be a hassle for an ordinary person, it was no problem for a commander like Xiaobai, who was extremely skilled at paperwork. So, in a sense, Lexington's "punishment" of Xiaobai was practically meaningless.

Ah, Lexington is so gentle.

Xiao Bai picked up a pen and wrote a self-criticism while sighing to himself.

But... Xiaobai's sighs soon stopped.

Because Xiaobai suddenly discovered a problem.

She doesn't seem to have much experience writing self-criticisms.

Xiaobai wrote a self-criticism that was over 10,000 words long, but she only used less than 2,000 words to write down the whole story of the mistakes she made today, her mental journey, and her promises for future behavior. She looked at the document from left to right, but for a moment she was at a loss as to what to add to the self-criticism.

There are still over 8,000 words left... How am I supposed to fill this up?

In the past, Xiaobai rarely had a word limit on the documents he wrote. Usually, he would write until he had reached the word limit, so he never worried about the word count.

But at this point, the 10,000-word self-criticism still stumped Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai scratched his head, deep in thought.

Just then, a figure appeared behind Xiaobai.

"Huh? Admiral, what are you writing?" A familiar voice rang out.

Xiaobai paused for a moment, put down her pen, and looked back.

Pompeii stood behind him, hands behind his back, looking on with curiosity.

"Ah... Pompeii." Little White smiled sheepishly at Pompeii, "I'm writing a self-criticism."

"A letter of self-criticism?"

"About Frederick..."

"Ah... I see, Lexington asked you to write it, right?" Pompeii laughed at Xiaobai. "Haha, so even the Admiral has someone he's afraid of. That's why I saw you racking your brains. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Can you write a self-criticism?

"Not at all."

"Then I probably can't help..." Xiaobai said regretfully, shaking her head. "I still have over eight thousand words left to write after I finish this self-criticism..."

“Ah…so that’s what it is. That’s easy.” After listening, Pompeii said to Xiaobai, “If you don’t have enough words, just add some emotion. Write about the blood ties and sibling feelings between you and Lexington, and resonate with other people’s emotions or something.”

"...Is this the content for a self-criticism?"

“It’s for Lexington anyway,” Pompeii said.

"Ah..." After hearing Pompeii's words, Xiaobai suddenly felt as if she had been enlightened. She picked up her pen, rested the hilt of the pen on her chin and thought for a while, then tentatively continued writing. "Then I'll give it a try..."

If it weren't for writing a self-criticism... Xiaobai has quite a lot to write about.

After all, Xiaobai's own Chinese language skills are quite good. When she was in school, her short essays often got high marks in the class. Her teachers often said that Xiaobai was a good candidate for studying humanities. In addition, Lexington has taken care of Xiaobai like an older sister and a mother over the years. Whether it is in terms of memory material or personal feelings, she does have a lot to write and express.

Basically, it's about thanking Lexington for their care and support over the years... and expressing gratitude to Lexington.

When the name Lexington is mentioned, Xiaobai has a lot to say.

I just feel... it might sound a bit cheesy if I write it down.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then picked up her pen and started writing rapidly, as if guided by divine inspiration.

As Xiaobai wrote, she became more and more enthusiastic. She felt that she was writing very fast. Before she knew it, she had written several pages neatly and completely in one go.

When Xiaobai realized that the 10,000-word self-criticism had already been completed, and even exceeded that limit, she felt that she hadn't even expressed half of her feelings for Lexington. So, looking at the few lines left, she could only regretfully end the letter hastily.

Ok.

Although I felt a little unsatisfied.

But all in all, this less-than-perfect "Letter of Apology" is finally finished!

Xiao Bai looked at the self-criticism and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to Pompeii's reminder, otherwise I would have spent the whole night working on this self-criticism.

"Pompeii, are you still there? Thank you... Uh oh?? Pompeii??? What happened to you?!"

Xiaobai turned around, just about to call Pompeii over to express her gratitude.

But when she turned around, she found that Pompeii had never left her side, and for some reason, she was holding a roll of tissues in her hand, crying her heart out, her face covered in tears, wiping her nose as she cried, and there was a thick layer of tangled tissues around her.

"Waaaaah... Admiral... Waaaaah..."

Large, pearl-like tears streamed freely from Pompeii's eyes. She grabbed a tissue from the box and covered her eyes, sobbing and trembling. The tears quickly soaked the tissue, leaving tear stains all over her fair cheeks.

"Huh? Pompeii?? You, what exactly..." Xiaobai stared blankly at Pompeii, her mouth agape. She had no idea why Pompeii was acting this way. She could only hurriedly get up and frantically reach out to Pompeii, "You you you... Hey? What's wrong? Don't, don't cry... What happened..."

"Waaaaah, Admiral... Waaaaah!!"

Pompeii shook her head, grabbed the tissue box, and ran away in a flash, disappearing into the bathroom.

Xiaobai watched Pompeii's departing figure alone, staring blankly at the tissues scattered on the ground, her face full of confusion.
