Elder brother's garrison

Page 1809

In Veneto's bedroom, a lazy atmosphere permeated the air.

Suddenly, a crisp telephone ring sounded.

A flurry of frantic movements echoed from the bed.

The call was answered a few seconds later.

"Hello? It's me... um... um... Ah? No, it's nothing... It took a little time... um... Okay... Bye then..." Xiaobai sat up in bed, holding her phone tightly to her ear, her face flushed as she spoke into the other end of the line, "I... Veneto and I didn't run into any trouble... um... um..."

The phone call lasted for several minutes.

With Xiaobai feeling nervous, the phone call finally ended.

Xiao Bai put down the phone, looked at the screen, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open.

With her hair styled in a simple white ponytail and wearing only a white shirt with a red bow on her chest, Veneto curiously peered into the room, holding the doorknob in one hand.

"Admiral? I think I just heard the phone ringing..."

Veneto's white shirt was long, and beneath the loose hem, her slender, fair legs were exposed to the air, clad in a pair of black cartoon slippers.

"Ah, no, it's nothing, it's just... cough cough." Little White on the bed looked at Veneto as he entered the room, and as if remembering something, she coughed twice, blushing, before explaining to Veneto, "Well... because we didn't go back to the villa too late, the people there were a little worried that we might have run into some trouble, and they asked if we were going back for dinner..."

"Oh...I see." Veneto listened thoughtfully to Xiaobai's words from the doorway. She entered the room, leaned gently against the door, and lightly braced her right foot against the door behind her. "So, Admiral, what did you tell them?"

"I told the people at the villa... that you and I have already had dinner," Xiaobai said cautiously to Veneto, holding her phone. "Also, we might be staying out tonight..."

Upon hearing this, Veneto's lips curled up, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Veneto walked to the bedside with her hands behind her back. She used her knees to push herself up onto the bed, and finally crawled up to Xiaobai, hugging Xiaobai's waist and lying down.

Xiao Bai reached out and stroked Veneto's soft white hair, just like he would stroke Oscar's head.

"I see." Veneto felt the white dog's touch and said with her eyes closed in relaxation, "It seems the people at the villa are very concerned about our situation."

"Well... after all, it seems like the people over there don't know you have a home in Yuncheng."

“Yes, it’s so good that the Admiral and I cleaned this house thoroughly before.” Veneto sighed with his eyes closed. “For the first time, I genuinely believe that buying this house was a worthwhile investment.”

Xiaobai and Veneto got tired of each other for a while.

Veneto propped herself up on the bed, tidied her single ponytail, and went to the door of the room.

"Admiral, I'll go prepare dinner. Hmm... since we don't have many ingredients here, we might have to eat some fast food tonight, is that alright?" Veneto turned his head to look at Little White on the bed.

"It's okay, I can eat instant noodles too." Xiaobai gave Veneto an OK sign.

Veneto smiled at Little White and left the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Xiaobai leaned against the headboard and sighed. Her face was slightly flushed as she raised her head, staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, seemingly not knowing where she was looking.

Xiao Bai patted her slightly flushed cheeks, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed.

As Xiaobai stepped out of the bedroom and approached the kitchen, she smelled a wonderful aroma of instant noodles.

Xiao Bai secretly peeked into the kitchen through the tiles and saw Veneto standing on a stool in front of the stove, wearing an apron and holding a pair of long chopsticks, stirring the instant noodle soup in the pot.

Veneto was still wearing that white shirt, and her white legs extended out from inside the shirt. From Xiaobai's angle, one could see the graceful curves of Veneto's hips, the extended curves of her thighs, and a pair of very delicate and cute hollows on the inside of her knees.

The moment Xiaobai's gaze fell upon her, Veneto, who was cooking instant noodles, sensed it and turned around to look at Xiaobai.

"Admiral? You're up?"

"Ah... I, I'll come down and take a look." Little White scratched his cheek and smiled at Veneto, "Let's see if there's anything I can do to help you."

“It’s just instant noodles, nothing much to do. Admiral, you’ve come at the perfect time. You should change your clothes and wait in the living room.” Veneto smiled at Little White. “I’ll be able to have dinner in a few minutes.”

"Um... Veneto, you didn't add anything to the pot, did you?" Xiaobai asked.

"Hmm? I was just thinking of adding a little of my own creation..." Veneto put down his chopsticks and said with a bit of helplessness, "Unfortunately, no one has come to my house for more than a year, so I didn't keep any meat, eggs, vegetables, or seasonings, so I can only cook the original noodles."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Xiaobai nodded, relieved, and looked away. "Then I'll go wait for you in the living room."

"Go ahead." Veneto smiled and waved to Little White like a newlywed wife.

Xiaobai went back to her bedroom to change her clothes, then returned to the living room and sat on the sofa for a while.

Soon, Veneto walked into the living room carrying two steaming bowls of instant noodles.

"Admiral, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Veneto bent down and placed the instant noodles in front of Xiaobai, then turned on the living room lights, grabbed the remote control from the coffee table, pressed a button on the TV, and the TV turned on, with the sound of a television program echoing in the living room.

"Huh? Is the electricity still working in this house?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.

“Yes, it works,” Veneto replied. “I used to find it too much trouble, so I just topped up tens of thousands of dollars for water and electricity, and I’ve also renewed my gas bill for five or six years, so I can use it whenever I come back here.”

"Eh... I see." Xiaobai blinked.

Veneto handed a pair of chopsticks to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai caught it with both hands.

Veneto made no attempt to hide anything from Xiaobai. After handing Xiaobai chopsticks, she picked up the clothes lying on the sofa and changed in front of Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai blushed as she watched Veneto change his clothes and then sit down next to her.

"This is a rare vacation, isn't it?" Veneto sighed and turned to Xiaobai with a slightly apologetic smile. "It's a rare vacation, but I can only feed the Admiral this kind of thing tonight. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, instant noodles are fine too." Xiaobai quickly picked up the instant noodle bowl, took a sip of the soup, and said, "Mmm, delicious... Veneto, how did you solve your meal problem when you were working in the human world?"

“Well… I was quite busy with work back then, so I mostly ordered takeout or ate out,” Veneto said regretfully. “I didn’t cook for Camicia and the others very often, which I’ve always regretted.”

"Ha, haha..." Xiaobai chuckled.

When I visited Veneto's home before, I witnessed Veneto's culinary skills firsthand. Veneto's skills... well, not terrible, but for human palates, it's too early to comprehend them. Perhaps only beings of the Roman caliber could eat them without batting an eye and then loudly proclaim how delicious they were.

Compared to Veneto's cuisine, this bowl of instant noodles is much more reassuring.

Xiao Bai picked up a noodle, lowered his head, and prepared to eat.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Huh? Someone's knocking on the door?"

"Is that Granny Yu? She sometimes comes over to visit around mealtimes when we're here... I'll go check."

"Oh that's fine."

Veneto walked out of the living room.

Soon, the sound of a door opening came from outside the living room.

Xiao Bai was holding a bowl of instant noodles, about to eat, when he was suddenly startled by the sound that followed and almost dropped the bowl.

"Yo Veneto!"

"Yo Veneto!"

"Yo Veneto!"

"..."

"Boss Veneto!!! Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you! We knew you'd be here, so we brought everyone along!!!"

Camicia's joyful shouts rang out from outside the door.

Chapter 2493 A Series of Events

The moment Veneto pushed open the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is Camicia's bright, smiling face, followed by a large group of ship girls standing in a dense crowd.

"Wow, boss lady, I never knew you owned a house like this in Cloud City! I've never heard you mention it before!" Roma stood behind Camicia, constantly tiptoeing and peering into the house. With her excited movements, her ample bosom swayed up and down like two rattles, drawing Veneto's attention. "Wow—what a big house! It's almost as big as our house in the garrison..."

"Big Sister, we're here too!" Antonio and the other two destroyers, including Ugolini, raised their pink hands to greet Veneto as she opened the door.

"Hey, Veneto, we're here!" Yorktown smiled and raised his hand.

"Hey, Veneto!" the company exclaimed, waving its arms happily.

"Hey, Veneto!" Bumblebee waved happily at Veneto.

……

"Senior Veneto, please forgive me for disturbing you." Missouri, carrying a bag of eggs and meat, bowed to Veneto with a smile.

"Sister Veneto, sorry to bother you..." Changchun was holding a case of drinks, her face flushed.

"What a cozy home! Can we come in and have a look?" Akagi said with a big bag of vegetables and a big smile on her face. "Speaking of which, on the way here, I saw a stall selling very fresh vegetables and fruits, so I couldn't resist buying some."

"Good evening, Miss Veneto." Akagi Fukami lowered her head and bowed respectfully to Veneto.

"Crunch crunch crunch..." Deep Sea Kaga held half a green onion in his hand, his mouth bulging like a hamster's, his eyes blinking as he looked at Veneto.

"..." Empire stood quietly by the crowd, his head drooping, as if he might fall asleep in the corridor if he wasn't careful.

……

A large number of ship girls crowded into the narrow corridor, seemingly filling the entire floor.

Veneto glanced around the corridor.

Good guy.

There were at least a dozen people standing at the door at this time; most of the ship girls in the villa were here.

“You…you are…” Veneto swallowed hard, his gaze strange. “How did you…”

"Ta-da!" Camicia jumped up and down, flashing a bright smile at Veneto. "Hehehe! As soon as I heard the older sisters say that you and the Admiral weren't coming back tonight, I guessed you must have come here to spend the night! To give you and the Admiral a surprise, I brought all the sisters who came from out of town with me! How about that! Surprised? Unexpected!"

“…” Veneto.

“Big Sister? Huh? Big Sister, why aren’t you saying anything?” Camicia lowered her hands and looked at Veneto curiously.

“…I see.” Veneto nodded knowingly, looked up at Camicchia with a smile, and then beckoned to him, “Camicchia, come here.”

"Oh, oh, oh!" Camicchia skipped over to Veneto. "What are your orders, Boss? Are you going to praise me?"

Veneto reached out and patted Camicchia's head.

Camicia felt Veneto's touch and smiled at him.

But the next second.

Camicia, who was in a good mood, suddenly felt the hand pressing down on his head tighten. Veneto's hand was like five steel bars, gripping Camicia's head tightly and tightening it inch by inch.

Camicia immediately felt like a monkey that had just sprung from the Five Finger Mountain, suffering terribly under his master's tight headband.

"Huh? Big, Big Sister? It hurts, it hurts a little... Ouch, ouch, no, no, it hurts more and more, ouch!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch... My head! My head is going to explode, all this red and white stuff is coming out—" Camicia burst into tears of pain. She clutched Veneto's hand on her head, jumping up and down and screaming, "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Big Sister, no—"

Veneto completely ignored Camicia's struggles, raised her head, and smiled at the ship girls in front of her.

"I really didn't expect you guys to come knocking on our door," Veneto said with a smile.

"Did we disturb Veneto and the Admiral's private time?" Yorktown asked curiously.

“No, not at all.” Veneto lifted Camicia off the ground as if he were a chick, then smiled and turned to the side to the crowd. “…Since you’re here, come in and have a seat. The room is a bit small, I hope you don’t mind.”

"Oh! Then I'll have to bother you!"

Upon hearing this, the ship girls smiled and filed in one after another.

The ship girls walked into the house as if they were visiting an amusement park. They came to the living room with excited expressions and immediately saw Shiro sitting on the sofa holding a bowl of instant noodles.

"Ah! Admiral!" The ship girls all pointed over, "We've found you!"

"Eh? You...cough cough cough!" Xiaobai, who was eating instant noodles, choked and coughed several times. She covered her mouth and patted her back for a while before finally calming down. Then, she put down her bowl and looked at the ship girls who had appeared in the living room with a surprised expression. "You...how did you all..."

"Hehe, Camicia brought us here."

"Admiral! We've come to visit you!"

"Admiral, you're watching TV! Miss Luming's drama is about to start, want to watch it together?"

The ship girls raised their hands, showing off the snacks and drinks they had.

Faced with the enthusiastic gazes of the ship girls, Xiaobai subconsciously nodded. Then, the ship girls cheered and ran to the sofa, filling the spacious sofa with their seats.

The living room was filled with the laughter of the ship girls.

"Veneto, why are you eating instant noodles? Can we use the kitchen?"

"The family kitchen is really well-equipped."

Let's cook dinner here tonight!

"What would you like to eat, Senior Veneto?"
