"Sister Nanxing... I'm fine now," Xiaobai said, enjoying the comfort emanating from Nanxing.
"Hmm? Hmm..." Nanxing lowered his head and stroked Xiaobai's head.
"Sister Nanxing, I like you!" Xiaobai said with a smile, rubbing her face against Nanxing's arm.
“…” Nanxing paused as he touched Xiaobai’s hand.
"We'll be best friends for life..." Xiaobai continued with a smile.
"..." Nanxing's hand, which had been paused, slowly began to move again.
Nanxing gently ran her fingers through Xiaobai's hair, her snow-white fingers slowly combing through the soft strands from top to bottom.
"……Um."
In the quiet room, Nanxing's voice was incredibly gentle.
Chapter 3320 Someone coming
After Xiaobai and Nanxing changed their clothes and tidied up the bedding on the floor in perfect unison, Nia on the bed finally woke up slowly.
After sleeping soundly all night, Nia groaned a few times on the bed and groggily climbed off Luo Lian.
"Um...uh..."
In the quiet dormitory, Nia's slightly childish "hmm" echoed.
Xiaobai and Nanxing, holding the neatly arranged bedding, both turned their gazes toward Nia.
Since sleeping in the same room with Nia, Xiaobai realized that Nia's sleeping posture was surprisingly clingy. Last night, she clung to Luo Lian like an octopus all night long. This morning, when she woke up, Xiaobai and Nanxing saw her sitting next to Luo Lian like a sleepy duck, her eyes still heavy with drowsiness. The straps of her loose nightgown slid down her fair and delicate shoulders, almost wetting her full chest.
Nia raised her hand to rub her eyes and looked around blankly.
"Hmm...eh?"
"No...isn't this a pajama party...?"
Nia murmured sleepily, her half-open eyes meeting Xiaobai's.
"Little...Little White? Where are your dinosaur pajamas...?"
Nia didn't seem to realize the situation yet. She looked at Xiaobai, who had finished dressing up and changed into her admiral's outfit, and asked in a somewhat bewildered tone.
At that moment, Xiaobai smiled at Nia.
"Nia, you're awake," Little White said with a smile. "It's morning now."
“…Good…morning…?” Nia stopped rubbing her eyes, looked blankly at Xiaobai, and then subconsciously turned her gaze to the window.
Outside Xiaobai's dormitory window, the sun shone brightly.
Ship girls came and went in the corridor, their laughter echoing.
Nia stared blankly out the window, her mouth slightly agape.
Then, the drowsiness in Nia's eyes faded at a visible speed, turning into surprise.
"Eh...Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh??!!!"
Nia cupped her face in her hands and screamed in near despair.
"Is it...is it already morning? Then...what about last night's pajama party..."
"Ah...we'll rest after you fall asleep," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Wh...what?!?"
Nia gasped.
Not long after, Nia's heart-wrenching wails came from Xiaobai's dormitory.
……
Luo Lian was awakened by Nia's voice.
Hmm... perhaps using the word "wake up" isn't quite accurate.
Actually, Luo Lian usually wakes up earlier than this, and she wakes up quite quickly. However, she rarely has the chance to sleep in Xiao Bai's old bed, so she really can't bear to get up so early. Therefore, she deliberately stays in a half-awake state, enjoying every minute and second in Xiao Bai's bed.
I managed to stay in bed a rare occurrence this morning.
Nia's voice served as Luo Lian's morning alarm clock, reminding her it was time to get up.
When Luo Lian opened her eyes and rubbed them as she got out of bed, she saw Nia lying on the bed with her head in her hands, looking as if she had made a terrible mistake and was filled with remorse.
"Waaaaah, it's all my fault, Xiaobai. If I had just stayed up all night, the pajama party wouldn't have ended so abruptly, waaaah..." Nia's voice was filled with regret and self-blame.
"No, Nia, we had this pajama party to have fun... It's no big deal if you're sleepy," Xiaobai comforted Nia. "Besides, we'll have other opportunities in the future, it's not like this is the only time in our lives, don't be so sad... Ah, Lianlian, you're awake?!"
As Xiaobai comforted Nia, her gaze turned to Luo Lian, who had sat up.
Luo Lian touched the tip of her nose, then gently rubbed her nostrils with her fingertips to make sure everything was in order before nodding.
"Hmm, I'm awake." Luo Lian lifted the covers.
"How did you sleep last night?"
“Very good,” Luo Lian said frankly, “to the point where I wish I could just fall asleep and die.”
"Lianlian, you're telling jokes that no one can understand again..." Xiaobai chuckled, then bent down to help Nia sit up on the bed. "Nia, let's get ready and go out for breakfast."
"Little, Little White... I'll definitely stick to it until morning next time..." Nia said to Little White with a mournful face.
Luo Lian looked at Nia, who was standing close by, and reached out to pat Nia's shoulder.
Nia, with tears streaming down her face, met Luo Lian's gaze.
Luo Lian gave Nia a thumbs up.
Regarding Nia going to bed early, although Nia herself might feel that her behavior would spoil everyone's mood, Luo Lian actually didn't feel any regret. After all, if Nia didn't go to bed early, she wouldn't have the chance to lie in Xiao Bai's bed, hug Xiao Bai's blanket and pillow, and fall asleep smelling the air filled with Xiao Bai's scent in the sheets.
Rather, from this perspective, Luo Lian might even want to kowtow to Nia a few times out of gratitude.
"No one blames you, don't worry about it," Luo Lian said.
"..." Upon hearing this, Nia looked pitifully at Xiaobai and Nanxing.
Nia's gaze shifted from Xiaobai to Nanxing.
Nanxing looked at Nia and nodded slightly to her.
Nanxing doesn't seem to feel any regret about what happened last night.
"Ok?"
Luo Lian frowned.
Looking at the intimate distance between Xiaobai and Nanxing, she suddenly felt that something was not right.
After having breakfast and dinner, Nanxing did not stay at the temporary garrison for long. After saying goodbye to Xiaobai and the other two, she left the temporary garrison alone.
It was early morning, and the streets were sparsely populated.
Nanxing walked out of the temporary garrison gate, waved goodbye to Xiaobai and the other two who came to see him off, and then headed towards the street where he would go home.
Nanxing had only taken two steps when he stopped and looked up ahead.
"Admiral——"
Several white-clad ship girls waved and greeted Nanxing with smiles on their faces.
The group of white-clad ship girls ran lightly to Nanxing's side. They quickly circled around Nanxing, constantly touching her arms and waist, checking on her condition.
"Admiral, Admiral! We just saw it! Admiral Lu Lin escorted you out!"
"How was your time with Admiral Lu Lin last night?"
"Where has the progress been made?"
"Did Admiral Lu Lin do anything to you...?"
The ship girls blinked, their eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge.
When faced with the questions from the ship girls, Nanxing slightly clenched her fist, made a gesture of encouragement, and nodded gently to everyone.
"Huh?? It really exists!"
"Admiral, hurry, tell me! How far has it progressed!"
"Yes, is it what we understand it to mean?"
Upon seeing Nanxing's apparent progress, the ship girls quickly looked around and then pulled her to a secluded corner.
Nanxing was surrounded by the ship girls, and she gently touched her chest with one hand.
“I’ve touched…this place…” Nanxing whispered.
The ship girls were speechless as they watched Nanxing's actions.
After a while.
“OO ...
A roar of celebration, as fierce as if someone had won a championship, suddenly erupted from a deserted corner of the street.
The sound startled a nearby stall owner who was still frying dough sticks, causing him to lose his grip and drop the freshly fried dough sticks into the oil with a thud, creating a small splash of oil.
……
That afternoon.
While Xiaobai, Luo Lian, and Nia were resting in the temporary garrison, the Admiral's Guild sent a timely message, summoning Nia and Luo Lian to report to the Admiral's Guild.
When Nia first heard the news, she was quite nervous.
She asked Xiaobai with great concern if the Admiral's Guild had suddenly contacted her because something bad had happened, or if they wanted to investigate her past or something.
Nia still remembers it.
She almost had her admiral's license revoked because she let a deep-sea supply ship escape. Although she was eventually spared such extreme punishment thanks to Xiaobai's connections, no one can say for sure that this dark history might prevent her from becoming a top ten admiral.
Xiao Bai simply smiled at Nia's unfounded worries.
After calming Nia down, she told her that this was probably just a procedure that should be followed after being promoted to one of the top ten admirals, and that she only needed to go to the admiral guild for a simple registration.
Even if the sky falls, the newbie naval base will hold it up...
Nia only let one deep-sea supply ship escape, while Xiaobai is the director of an entire naval base. She still sits comfortably in her position as the world's number one admiral.
After being comforted by Xiaobai, Nia finally felt relieved and went out with Luo Lian.
After Nia and Luo Lian left, Xiao Bai stayed in the temporary garrison, idly scrolling through his phone, watching the ups and downs on the admiral's forum, waiting for their return.
However, shortly after they left, there was a knock on the gates of the temporary naval base.
The ship girls responsible for receiving guests thought that the visitors would be other top ten admirals, but when they came out and saw who it was, they all looked surprised and curious.
because……
During the time that Luo Lian and Nia were away, the guest who came to visit did not seem to be the admiral.
There were two guests in total.
One of them is a blonde ship girl dressed as an office lady.
The other was an elderly man who looked to be over sixty, with gray hair and beard, but whose posture was still upright.
To be honest, the ship girls responsible for receiving the guest were a little stunned when they saw that the person who came to their door was such an old man.
Because the elderly are not frequently seen in Chapter 8.
Being an admiral is not a job suitable for older people. Most of the admirals in Chapter 8 are young and strong, and the oldest are no more than forty or fifty years old.
Furthermore, the old man who visited the temporary garrison was not wearing an admiral's uniform; he was only wearing a clean and tidy cadre uniform, and his face was adorned with a kind smile.
So... who is this person?
The ship girls were momentarily confused as they looked at the person in front of them.
Chapter 3321 You are an elder!
"Admiral! Admiral! Something terrible has happened!"
Xiao Bai was still playing on his phone in his dorm room when he heard a series of chattering sounds coming from the corridor. Then, several figures in blue and white rushed into Xiao Bai's room and blocked the wall in front of him.
For a time, Xiaobai's room was filled with the sounds of little girls groaning and calling him "Admiral, Admiral."
"Ok?"
