Elder brother's garrison

In fact, if people look down and examine these new pieces of jewelry closely, they can easily see that the carving craftsmanship on these pieces is exceptionally exquisite, in no way inferior to the jewelry in other counters. It was not easy to see before because most of these openwork engravings were not in a luxurious style, but rather a low-key and meaningful type.

“Some ladies choose to wear jewelry simply to balance their outfits, so they don’t need overly flashy pieces,” the shopkeeper said with a smile. “I believe these pieces will be the kind your friends would like.”

After saying this, the shopkeeper ship girl looked at Nanxing with a smile.

Everyone's gaze slowly turned to Nanxing.

"Sister Nanxing, do you like this style of jewelry?" Xiaobai asked Nanxing, clenching her hands and holding them to her chest.

“…Hmm.” Nanxing didn’t even look at the counter; she just stared into Xiaobai’s eyes and nodded intently.

"Ah...that's great, it seems this trip wasn't in vain."

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

The ship girls behind Nanxing clenched their fists, tears of victory streaming down their faces.

"Well done, manager!"

"She truly is a professional sales clerk!"

"We'll definitely invite you to our admiral's wedding banquet someday!"

"..."

The ship girls were speaking in a noisy, hushed manner, which the three people in front of the counter naturally did not hear.

Xiao Bai placed her hands on the counter, her eyes scanning the jewelry in front of her.

To be honest, from a personal perspective, I also really like this kind of understated jewelry.

"Sister Nanxing, let me give you a piece of jewelry. Which one do you want?" Xiaobai asked Nanxing with a smile.

"I……"

Nanxing lowered her head, her hands clasped together somewhat nervously. Her gaze lingered on the counter, sweeping over the rings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, rings, earrings, rings, and more rings...

After a while, Nanxing put down his hand and shook his head at Xiaobai.

"...I'm fine with anything, you choose."

"Huh? Should I choose?" Xiaobai pointed to himself.

"Boss, generally speaking, it's very ungentlemanly to let ladies choose the jewelry in the display case themselves, especially when the jewelry has price tags," the shopkeeper, a ship girl, joked to Xiaobai.

"Ah... I see." Xiaobai nodded, blushing. "I understand. I'll choose then."

Xiao Bai leaned on the counter, staring intently at the jewelry inside, examining it carefully for quite a while.

Xiao Bai would occasionally turn around and look at Nan Xing, his gaze lingering on Nan Xing's face, seemingly lost in thought.

Not far behind the ship girls, Nanxing, a man with an expression of excitement, watching Xiaobai intently, looked like he had just reached the climax of a movie.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiaobai made her decision.

"Well...that's it."

Xiaobai reached out and pointed to a piece of jewelry in the display case.

The store manager lowered his head, his gaze flickering slightly.

"Boss, are you sure you want this?"

"Well, can't you?"

"Of course, I'll take it out for you right away."

The shopkeeper, a ship girl, bent down and took out the jewelry style that Xiaobai had chosen from the counter.

Under everyone's gaze, the shopkeeper ship girl held a red-and-black leather jewelry box in both hands and took out a delicate and exquisite platinum necklace.

"Ouch"

Behind Nanxing, the ship girls collapsed to the ground with thuds.

"Why is it a necklace?!"

"The ring, where's the ring..."

"The admiral definitely wants the ring that Admiral Lu Lin gives her—"

"Admiral Lu Lin, I hate that you're such a blockhead—"

The ship girls covered their heads, silently roaring in their hearts.

Xiaobai took the necklace from the shopkeeper ship girl. With a smile, she held the jewelry box in her hands, lifted the necklace, spread her arms, and smiled at Nanxing.

"Sister Nanxing, come on, give it a try."

"..."

Nanxing silently looked at Xiaobai's smiling face. She slowly nodded, then placed her hands on her thighs, bent her long legs, and slowly lowered herself towards Xiaobai, revealing her fair and slender neck as she approached him.

As Nanxing lowered her head, a faint scent of shampoo with a refreshing floral fragrance wafted from her hair, wafting towards you.

Chapter 2981 Chess

That's why people say Nanxing has half-ship girl blood in her body; her figure is truly dreamlike.

Even on her neck and shoulders, every inch of her skin was snow-white and flawless. Her neck was perfectly slender, and her collarbones were delicate and well-defined, making her look as beautiful as a painting.

Xiao Bai tiptoed closer, pressed against Nan Xing's body, and tied the necklace around Nan Xing's neck.

"Sister Nanxing, it's done!"

Xiaobai let go and retreated with satisfaction.

"Sister Nanxing, what do you think? Do you like it?" Xiaobai clasped her hands together, looking at Nanxing with some anticipation. "I was thinking before, what kind of jewelry would be more suitable for a beauty like you, Sister Nanxing? I think you are already very beautiful in both appearance and figure, and you don't need any adornment at all. So after thinking it over, I chose this necklace, which looks the most understated. On your neck, Sister Nanxing, it won't attract too much attention, and it can also balance the overly monotonous color of this area, making people's eyes linger!"

Nanxing straightened up again, raised her slender hand, and gently rubbed the pendant of the necklace with her ring and index fingers, looking down at the jewelry that was so close to her.

The exquisite and understated yet meaningful pendant truly complements and balances the beauty of Nanxing's neck.

Not far away, the ship girls of the Nanxing family bit their palms and watched Nanxing nervously.

"Admiral, quickly say you don't like it, quickly say you don't like it—"

"If you say you don't like it, Admiral Lu Lin can change it to a ring for you—"

"Admiral, this ring is practically delivered to our doorstep!"

"You wanted the ring more just now, didn't you?"

"Now's your chance! Now's your chance!"

"Just one more sentence, just one more sentence—"

"..."

The ship girls seemed to want to transmit their thoughts into Nanxing's head, staring intently at Nanxing's back and twisting their bodies.

however.

The ship girls' hopes ultimately dashed.

Under Xiaobai's gaze, Nanxing picked up the necklace pendant around her neck and gave Xiaobai a faint smile.

"I really like...this...thank you."

There was no trace of reluctance or dissatisfaction on Nanxing's face.

At this moment, Nanxing seemed to be the happiest girl in the world.

Pfft!

Plop plop plop!

A noise came from behind them.

When Xiaobai and the other two turned around, they saw that all the ship girls of the Nanxing family were lying on the ground, piled up like a human pyramid and no longer moving.

"Sister Nanxing, you like this too! That's wonderful!"

Xiao Bai turned around and happily opened her arms to Nan Xing.

Nanxing squatted down, hugged Xiaobai, and pressed her face against Xiaobai's shoulder.

"Yes, I will wear this all the time."

"Ah... you don't have to wear it all the time."

Xiao Bai smiled at Nan Xing and then turned to look at the shop manager.

"Thank you so much, Manager!" Xiaobai gave the manager a thumbs up with great satisfaction and said with a big smile, "As expected of a manager who can be entrusted with important tasks by Lianlian, I feel very relieved with you here."

"Boss, you flatter me." The shop manager pursed his lips.

"How much does this necklace cost?"

"It's not expensive at all. The material is just ordinary platinum. Although it is indeed a bit heavier, the cost is basically all in the processing fee." The shop manager shook his head. "Boss, you don't need to go through any procedures. If you want it, you can just take it away."

"I'll pay." Xiaobai turned to the side, took out his wallet, pulled out his admiral's ID and handed it to the shopkeeper. "Even if it's my shop, you still have to pay for things. It's a matter of one thing at a time... Besides, it feels weird to take something that's meant to be given away for free."

"...as you command."

Xiaobai eventually paid the money.

It's worth mentioning that although the shopkeeper said the platinum necklace wasn't worth much, Xiaobai looked at the receipt and found that the necklace, which clearly had no jewelry decorations, was priced at an astonishing six figures.

Perhaps... this is the cost of the manufacturing process.

After leaving the jewelry store, Xiaobai looked up at the exquisite necklace around Nanxing's neck and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

However, before Xiaobai could finish laughing, she saw Nanxing gently pick up the necklace pendant, then open her collar and tuck the necklace inside.

All of a sudden.

Like sinking into a snow-white desert, the necklace vanished from Xiaobai's sight in an instant.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned.

“…?” Nanxing lowered his hand and looked at Xiaobai.

"Sister Nanxing, why did you put the necklace inside your clothes?" Xiaobai pointed at Nanxing's chest. "...Uh, isn't it uncomfortable?"

“…A little…” Nanxing touched his chest, felt it for a while, and said to Xiaobai, “It’s a little rough, but it’s okay.”

"...So why do you want to stuff it in?"

“No.” Nanxing shook her head. After thinking for a while, she said to Xiaobai, “...I don’t like... strangers staring at me.”

"?"

“When I went out just now, three passersby secretly looked at me,” Nanxing said to Xiaobai, touching his chest. “It’s probably because of the necklace.”

"what……"

Xiao Bai sighed, looking at Nan Xing with a complicated expression. In the end, he had nothing to say and could only smile bitterly.

Ok……

Ok.

This was something Xiaobai hadn't considered at all.

Xiaobai thought that giving Nanxing a bracelet, earrings, or even a hairpin, brooch, pendant, or something like that might be better?

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai's gaze quietly shifted to Nan Xing's slender fingers, and she pondered for a while.

Nanxing's fingers are beautiful and slender. Such delicate fingers, which are just the right amount of thinness without being too bony, would look very nice if they wore a ring.

Xiaobai did consider giving Nanxing a ring as a gift...

However, giving a ring would be too direct. Even if Xiaobai doesn't have any romantic feelings for Nanxing right now, Nanxing is still human. If she were to give her a ring, Nanxing would probably be startled by human customs and start thinking all sorts of strange things. In order not to frighten Nanxing, Xiaobai decided to give up on this option after thinking it over three times.

It's a pity.

We won't be able to see Nanxing wearing a ring for a while.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai sighed inwardly, but still reached out and took Nanxing's hand, gently rubbing her knuckles against Nanxing's ring finger.

Nanxing felt Xiaobai's touch, and she subconsciously shook hands with Xiaobai, their fingers intertwined.

Nanxing lowered his head and looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai smiled broadly.

An inexplicable, unspoken understanding slowly formed between the two as their eyes met.
