Xiao Bai looked up at Admiral Nanxing.
Admiral Nanxing sat in his seat, covering his mouth with one hand and beckoning to Xiaobai with the other.
Admiral Nanxing seemed to be beckon Xiaobai over.
What are you thinking about, my neighbor, the umbrella?
Did Admiral Nanxing want to see me about something?
Xiao Bai was taken aback.
Admiral Nanxing looked a little anxious, as if he really wanted to speak but didn't know where to begin.
Despite her curiosity, Xiao Bai still walked up to Admiral Nanxing.
"Admiral Nanxing, what—"
Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Admiral Nanxing took Xiaobai's hand, pulled her in front of him, gently put his arm around her waist, and lifted her onto his lap like a life-size doll.
Chapter 1520 Invitation to Be Sisters (4000 words)
Nanxing's actions naturally attracted the attention of the other admirals at the table.
After Xiaobai sat on his lap, Admiral Nanxing did not stop.
Admiral Nanxing first shifted his position, adjusting his posture to fit closer to Xiaobai. Then, he leaned forward slightly, crossed his arms and placed them on Xiaobai's stomach, gently pressed his lips against the back of Xiaobai's head, closed his eyes, and relaxedly inhaled the scent of shampoo from Xiaobai's hair.
Admiral Nanxing's expression was very peaceful and calm.
It was as if what she held in her arms was not Little White, but a human-shaped pillow, a decoration, or a well-behaved and fluffy kitten.
As Admiral Nanxing moved, Xiaobai felt a very soft and comfortable touch from Admiral Nanxing's thigh. After Admiral Nanxing leaned forward and pressed against the back of his head, Xiaobai also felt two large and undeniable soft mounds pressed against his back.
"Admiral Nanxing—huh?"
Xiao Bai's face turned red instantly.
Under Nanxing's adjustment, Xiaobai's body fit perfectly into Admiral Nanxing's arms, arms pressed against arms, thighs against thighs, and her breasts against his back. The physical sensations emanating from Admiral Nanxing's body, gently and tenderly, came from all directions, causing Xiaobai's body to stiffen instantly.
Being picked up by Admiral Nanxing and pressed tightly against his body... was just as comfortable as being picked up by Missouri.
"I have notes here." After sniffing through Xiaobai's hair for a while, Admiral Nanxing slowly opened his eyes and said to Xiaobai, whose face was burning.
"Huh? Notes?"
"Ah."
Admiral Nanxing, who had his arm around Xiaobai's belly, pointed to the table.
Xiao Bai then noticed that Admiral Nanxing had already compiled a long stack of notes on the desktop.
"Uh... I see..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around a little embarrassedly, then scratched her flushed face. "Thank you, Admiral Nanxing. Um... I'll go get a chair right now."
Xiaobai tried to get off Admiral Nanxing.
However, Admiral Nanxing tightened his grip on Xiaobai's waist, showing no intention of putting her down.
"Admiral Nan... Nanxing?" Xiaobai looked around at the admirals staring at him with a bit of embarrassment.
"You're not allowed to leave." - Admiral Nanxing.
"...No, I didn't mean to leave...it's just...there are other people watching us..." Xiaobai wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of attention-grabbing, or rather, public execution-like situation. At this moment, Xiaobai felt that the gazes of the other admirals were burning hot, stinging her face.
"..." It seems that Admiral Nanxing did not understand Xiaobai's predicament.
After thinking for a short while, Admiral Nanxing seemed to give up on the topic and started talking about other things.
"...Thank you for saving my ship girl." Admiral Nanxing whispered in Xiaobai's ear with his head down.
"Ah... um, you're welcome..." Xiaobai paused for a moment, then nodded in realization, "I promised to bring back your ship girls, Admiral Nanxing, I was just keeping our promise..."
“…You.” Admiral Nanxing tightened his grip on Little White’s belly. “…You don’t need to call me Admiral Nanxing.”
"what?"
"Nanxing is fine."
"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback, and forgot to get out of Admiral Nanxing's arms. "Is it okay?"
"Ah."
"Nanxing... Sister?"
"Mmm." Nanxing's lips curled up slightly as she gently nuzzled the back of Xiaobai's head. "Can I call you Xiaobai too? That's what they call you."
The "she" that Admiral Nanxing was referring to... if Xiaobai isn't mistaken, it should be Guild Master Er Gou and Duan Shuiliu, who are currently standing on either side of Admiral Nanxing.
Xiao Bai's gaze swept past the president, Er Gou, who was sleeping soundly on the table, and looked at Duan Shuiliu, who was quietly writing notes on the other side.
"Uh..." Xiaobai blinked.
"...Is that alright?" Admiral Nanxing asked quietly when he saw that Xiaobai didn't speak.
"Ah! Sure, of course!" Xiaobai nodded quickly, though she didn't know what was going on.
"……noob."
"I'm here!"
"Thank you, Xiaobai."
"You're welcome, Sister Nanxing."
Xiao Bai looked up at Admiral Nanxing and smiled.
Admiral Nanxing returned the smile with a faint one.
A subtle yet harmonious atmosphere formed between Xiaobai and Nanxing.
"Snapped."
Then, a few sounds came from the dining table: the sound of ballpoint pens falling onto the table.
Sitting opposite Xiaobai and Admiral Nanxing, Admirals Li Hua, Lian, and Ling, and even Admiral Zhao Kuo standing in front of the whiteboard, all gaped as they watched Admiral Nanxing pick up Xiaobai. They looked as if they had witnessed something impossible, their faces filled with disbelief.
Among the crowd, Admiral Li Hua's expression was particularly exaggerated, with his mouth wide open.
If you had to describe the thoughts of the admirals present in just two words...
Then there might only be one option left.
—Holy crap?!
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap...
Admiral Li Hua's mind was filled with a million "fucks," which turned into a stampede of alpacas across the Gobi Desert, creating wave after wave of shocking waves.
As one of the world's top ten admirals who have known each other for a long time, even if they don't have a deep relationship with each other on a regular basis, the top ten admirals are basically familiar with Admiral Nanxing's style of doing things.
Admiral Nanxing is more like a kite than an iceberg.
Although she appears to be physically present in front of you and seems ready to talk and chat, her soul has already flown off into the sky and begun to soar freely on its own.
Nanxing's two biggest hobbies in life are smoking and daydreaming. She's in a daze all day long, and when others talk to her, it usually goes in one ear and out the other. Even when they were discussing naval tactics in meetings these past two days, Admiral Nanxing remained taciturn.
Autism is a fundamental characteristic of Admiral Nanxing.
"Air person" refers to the way Admiral Nanxing interacts with others.
This is also the state of Admiral Nanxing that everyone is most used to.
But this extremely autistic child and heartless kite flyer actually... actually acted so intimately with another girl in public!
Mua!
Admiral Li Hua had considered many ways for Nanxing to thank Xiaobai for saving her ship girl, but he really, really hadn't expected that Nanxing and Xiaobai would be so intimate as to hug and embrace each other in public and acknowledge each other as sisters.
Admiral Li Hua stared in shock at Little White, who was nestled in Admiral Nan Xing's arms.
In Admiral Li Hua's eyes, Xiao Bai seemed to be surprised by Admiral Nan Xing's behavior as well. She raised her head and gave Admiral Nan Xing a well-behaved smile.
This smile was noticed by Admiral Li Hua.
do not know why.
It looks a bit scary.
—Could this be the legendary world's number one admiral... the white-haired madman whose conquest power leaves nothing but desolation in his wake, regardless of whether the ship girls are human or not...?
That's too... amazing...
Just then, in the midst of shock, Xiaobai seemed to sense Admiral Li Hua's gaze and instinctively turned her head to look at him.
Admiral Li Hua quickly lowered his head, and just a second before Xiao Bai noticed him, he slammed his head heavily onto the table, wrapped his arms tightly around his head, and went into "playing dead" mode, afraid that Xiao Bai would see him again.
A thud.
The water glass in front of Admiral Li Hua was knocked off the table by his forehead, causing the water inside to slosh around.
"..."
Xiao Bai blinked and silently watched Admiral Li Hua, who was slumped over the table just like Chairman Er Gou.
It seems the top ten admirals who stayed at Ella's house have had quite a workload these past two days; look how exhausted Admiral Li Hua is.
A hint of emotion appeared in Xiao Bai's eyes as he gazed at Admiral Li Hua.
The dinner table meeting did not last long.
To be precise, Xiaobai's dinner party didn't last very long.
Xiao Bai remained seated in Admiral Nanxing's lap, listening to Admiral Zhao Kuo's detailed explanation of his plan for about half an hour.
Zhao Kuo's plan was detailed, comprehensive, and powerful, like an encyclopedia of military strategy, giving people a great sense of security. However, its only drawback was that there was too much text, which was not only tedious but also mostly contained vocabulary that Xiaobai had not been exposed to before. It was both mentally and physically exhausting to understand. Xiaobai forced himself to listen for a while, but then felt like his head was about to explode and a trace of drowsiness flashed across his eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Bai's mental state had declined, Zhao Kuo, who was speaking eloquently, stopped his explanation. He looked at Xiao Bai for a while and then seemed to realize something, showing an embarrassed apology.
"I'm so sorry... I almost forgot, Admiral Lu Lin, you just rescued Admiral Nanxing from outside and rushed back overnight. The journey must have been arduous and exhausting, you must be exhausted by now... I'm so stupid, I didn't even realize that and dragged you into the plan..." Admiral Zhao Kuo expressed his sincere apology to Xiao Bai with a look of regret for his actions.
"Huh? No, I didn't..."
"Admiral Lu Lin, you should go and rest." Admiral Zhao Kuo looked at Xiao Bai gratefully. "You helped us save the fighting strength of Nanxing Garrison this time, which is a great contribution. As a hero of this operation, Admiral Lu Lin, you should get some rest."
"No...I didn't..."
“Admiral Lu Lin! I know you’re pushing yourself to the limit for the safety of this city, but food is essential for health. A good work-rest schedule is crucial for a healthy body. It’s not time for you to sacrifice your health to work yet. If something goes wrong with your health, that would be the worst thing that could happen!” Admiral Zhao Kuo looked at Xiao Bai with a worried expression.
"..." Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
Just at this time.
Xiao Bai felt that Admiral Nanxing had released his arms from around her waist.
Xiao Bai turned to look at Admiral Nanxing.
Nanxing Admiral seemed to agree with Zhao Kuo Admiral's words.
"Go and rest." Admiral Nanxing picked up his notebook, which was filled with meeting minutes, and handed it to Xiaobai.
“Uh…” Xiaobai stared blankly at Admiral Nanxing’s face, then glanced at Duan Shuiliu.
—These admirals seem to think that Xiaobai's mission this time is extremely difficult and arduous.
Xiao Bai scratched his cheek and looked down at the project plan, which was as thick as a dictionary.
"Well... alright." Xiaobai put away the plan, took Admiral Nanxing's notes, and jumped off Admiral Nanxing's lap.
—Although it was comfortable to sit on Admiral Nanxing's lap, Admiral Zhao Kuo's speech was too hardcore. Listening to him here would be like listening to gibberish. It was indeed quite boring. Now that these admirals were letting him rest, it was a good opportunity for Xiaobai to escape from this sea of suffering. So Xiaobai didn't need to continue.
Besides, Xiaobai does have a lot of things to do right now.
For example, explaining the Abyssal Ryujo to Hood, pleading with Tirpitz who was kneeling on a washboard in Bismarck's room, then considering the placement of the Abyssal Ryujo, and meeting with the Abyssal Yamato who came with the ship girl fleet.
Admiral, huh.
The admiral is essentially the nanny of the ship girls.
The more ship girls around you, the more things the admiral needs to do.
—After I finish these things, I'll find some time to slowly read through this "dictionary".
Xiao Bai thought to herself.
After a brief farewell to the admirals, Xiaobai left the restaurant with Saratoga.
After leaving the restaurant, Xiaobai checked the time and went to Hood's room first.
Hood seemed to have already learned about the Deepsea Ryujo from the other ship girls. When Shiro found Hood enjoying afternoon tea and explained the whole story to her, Hood apologized to Shiro, saying that she had reacted a bit too strongly.
