Elder brother's garrison

"Huh!? It's that far??"

"I never knew your eyesight was this good!"

"What should we do now? We've been discovered. Should we run away?"

The ship girls grabbed Shiro's arms and asked her questions.

Xiao Bai was also stunned.

Looking at Bai's mother's smiling face in the distance, Xiao Bai's expression suddenly became complicated and conflicted. After thinking for a few seconds, she sighed and shook her head.

"Sigh, forget it..."

Xiao Bai hasn't completely cut off contact with her family; at least she still contacts her parents by phone quite often. Now that her mother has found out, if she tries to escape on the spot, her mother will probably call and personally interrogate her within minutes.

Since I've already been discovered, I might as well just go with the flow.

Thinking about this, Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of Zen-like peace in her heart.

Seeing Xiaobai's resigned expression, the ship girls, after a few seconds of daze, quickly tidied their appearance.

Of all the ship girls, Changchun put the most effort into organizing them.

Compared to Hancock, who simply adjusted the angle of his clothes and hair, Changchun even turned her back, took out a small mirror, and carefully checked her facial features. While fixing her hair and clothes, she kept curving her lips at her reflection in the mirror, trying to find the most suitable smile.

Two minutes later, Mother Bai ran from the small house in the distance to stand in front of Xiao Bai and his group.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai!"

As she jogged, Mrs. Bai raised her arms slightly towards the crowd, panting happily as she called out. Two rosy blushes rose on her fair cheeks from the sprint.

"mom!"

Xiao Bai quickly stepped forward and took his mother's arms with both hands.

"It really is you!" Bai's mother gently pulled Xiaobai into her arms, laughing as she rubbed against him with one hand and patted his back with the other. "Oh dear, it's rare for you to come back. Why didn't you call us before you came back? Were you planning to surprise your father and me?"

"Haha..." Little Bai nestled in her mother's arms, unsure of what to say.

Behind Xiaobai, the ship girls stepped forward one after another, bowing and greeting Bai's mother.

"Hello, aunt!"

"Hello Auntie!"

"Hello sister!"

Mama Bai shifted her gentle gaze from Xiao Bai to the other ship girls present, and smiled at them.

"Oh my, what beautiful girls! You must be the ship girls, right?"

"Yes!" the ship girls responded in unison.

White Mother hugged Little White and smiled as she looked at each and every ship girl.

"Alright, alright, these are all girls I've never seen before," said Mrs. Bai. "Didn't Lexington and Missouri come this time?"

"Ah...they...have jobs."

"Weren't you on holiday? Why are you still working?"

"Well..." Xiaobai awkwardly raised her head and said, "Actually, I sneaked over here this time. I just wanted to take a few glances at you from afar and then leave, but I didn't expect you to find out... Ouch!"

Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, his mother raised her slender fingers and flicked Xiaobai's forehead with a sharp sound.

Little White let out a mournful cry, covered its forehead, and looked pitifully at its mother.

"You silly child, do you think you're some legendary figure who passed by your home three times without entering? Now that you're home, how can you not come in and take a look?" Mother Bai said to Xiao Bai with a smile. "Xiao Bai, what are you saying? Did you think you were going to sneak away if I hadn't noticed you? That would have made Mommy very sad."

"Ugh... Mom, I'm sorry..." Little Bai immediately looked like a child who had done something wrong, nestled in his mother's arms, and buried his head in the valley of maternal love.

Mother Bai smiled as she hugged Little Bai, closed her eyes, and patted her back.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

The ship girls standing nearby looked at the loving and filial scene between Xiaobai and her mother, and then exchanged glances.

"Um... Auntie... speaking of which, how did you find us just now...?"

"Yeah, yeah...we were quite far apart just now..."

The ship girls cautiously interjected.

White Mother opened her eyes upon hearing the sound and gave the ship girls a kind smile.

"You young girls, don't underestimate a mother's love."

"Eh……"

Looking at Mother White's smile, the ship girls felt for a moment that they were being brushed off, but they couldn't come up with any rebuttal for the time being.

After deflecting the topic, Mrs. Bai tried to lead everyone back inside.

Of course, no one refused.

Mrs. Bai is a classic full-time housewife, while Mr. Bai is a classic corporate slave. On this weekday afternoon, of course, there is no trace of Mr. Bai in the house.

"Xiao Bai, how long can you stay at home this time?" After arranging everyone to sit on the sofa in the living room, Bai's mother brought out a plate of cookies and a few glasses of milk, and asked with a smile.

"Ah... um... probably... two or three days." Xiaobai rubbed his hands together and answered with his head down.

"Oh dear, it's rare for you to be back for so long," said Madam Bai. "And these girls too?"

“Yes…” the ship girls answered.

"Aren't you planning to come in for the next three days?" Mrs. Bai asked, supporting her slender waist with one hand.

"No, no, no..." Xiaobai lowered her head awkwardly.

The ship girls sat upright beside Shiro, not saying a word, but their eyes darted cautiously between Shiro and Shiro's mother who were chatting.

The ship girls' gazes first fell on Xiaobai's face, then on the face of Bai's mother, who bore a resemblance to Xiaobai but was more mature and gentle. Their gazes then returned to Xiaobai's youthful chest, and finally lingered on Bai's mother's loving chest for a long, long time.

Chapter 3459 Same and Different

"Speaking of which, Mom, were you just about to go out to buy groceries?" Xiaobai asked his mother.

"Yes, that's why I ran into you all," Mama Bai said with a smile. "I'll settle you in first, then I'll head out. Little Bai, what do your ship girls like to eat?"

"Oh, I'll go grocery shopping with my mom."

"Huh? Didn't you sneak back? Isn't it bad to show your face in public?"

"It's just buying groceries...and I've already been found out anyway...at worst I'll just have to write a self-criticism when I get back..." Xiaobai turned her head and spoke somewhat listlessly, her whole demeanor exuding an air of "what's the use of trying?"

Hearing this, Bai's mother smiled and reached out to pat Xiao Bai's head.

"Then let's go out."

“Auntie, auntie, we also…” The ship girls stood up one after another.

"Please sit here," Mama Bai said with a smile to the ship girls, gently urging them back onto the sofa one by one. "With so many beautiful girls out together, it'll cause quite a stir in our market. Besides, you're our guests now. In human society, there's no reason for guests to go out to buy groceries."

"Ah..." The ship girls remained seated and looked at Shiro.

"You should all rest at home for a while," Xiaobai said to the ship girls.

"..." The ship girls nodded in agreement.

After arranging the ship girls, Xiaobai went out with her mother.

The mother and daughter quickly left the house, leaving only the ship girls sitting upright on the sofa, looking utterly helpless.

After the surroundings cleared up, the ship girls subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced at each other, then their eyes fell on the biscuits and milk that had been carefully prepared for everyone on the table.

“So that’s what the Admiral’s mother is like.” The female hearth goddess spoke first, reaching for the biscuit in front of her and taking a few bites like a hamster. “Hmm… I didn’t expect her to be so different from the Admiral…”

"As for the face, they are quite similar, aren't they?" Changchun asked, turning his head. "Auntie's appearance is just as beautiful as the Admiral's."

“That’s something the Admiral and Auntie say, right… and Changchun, you should know I’m not talking about looks,” the Kitchen Goddess replied.

"Uh..." Changchun lowered his head awkwardly, instinctively covering his chest. "The admiral... the admiral is probably just young..."

"..." Chao Da and Mo Mo picked up the milk and took a few sips.

“Strange,” Hancock said at this moment.

All the ship girls looked at Hancock.

"What's wrong, Hancock?"

“The Admiral’s mother doesn’t seem human,” Hancock said.

"..." The ship girls were stunned for a moment. Hancock's words seemed to directly express the confusion in their hearts that they dared not say, causing the ship girls present to have complicated expressions.

The ship girls all lowered their heads and started eating cookies and drinking milk.

“No normal human could see things that far away so quickly,” Hancock continued to say to the ship girls.

"This... Guinness World Records also has people who can see things more than a thousand meters away..." The ship girls changed the subject.

"Is it possible that the chance of one in hundreds of thousands falling on the Admiral's mother's head?" Hancock asked.

"Hancock, do you mean... the Admiral's mother is a ship girl?" the ship girls said. "But Hancock, as long as a ship girl has ship equipment, she cannot get pregnant... but after removing the ship equipment, the ship girl will lose her ship girl power and be no different from an ordinary person, so what you just said is contradictory."

"..." Hancock was silent for a moment, then looked at Super Yamato, "What do you think?"

“…?” Chao Da pointed blankly at himself.

"As the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy, you should have a better sense of ship girls, right? How do you feel about them?"

“…I, I don’t know…” Chao Dahe shook his head hurriedly.

Seeing the huge and flustered look on the other side, Hancock gave up on asking any more questions and silently lowered his head.

"Hancock, no matter what, she is our admiral's biological mother." The ship girls looked at Hancock and placed their hands on the back of her hands, saying, "No matter what, she is a gentle, considerate, and respectable elder to us... Actually, whether she is a ship girl or not makes no difference to us."

"..." Hancock nodded silently.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was rather quiet, the female Kitchen Goddess thought for a moment, then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

The TV series is turned on.

"Welcome to our channel's annual blockbuster, top-rated drama series, 'My Ship Girl Mom'!"

"..."

The ship girls all looked toward the goddess of the hearth.

The goddess of the hearth hurriedly switched TV channels, and only after switching to a song and dance channel did she cough awkwardly a few times.

"Let's watch... watch TV... let's watch TV..."

The goddess of the hearth put down the remote control, awkwardly picked up the cookies on the table, and started showing them off wildly.

With the sound of the television acting as background music, the quiet living room became a bit more lively.

……

An hour later, Xiaobai and her mother returned home carrying large bags of vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

"We're back!" Xiaobai called out to the living room after returning home.

Mrs. Bai bought a lot of ingredients, which looked quite heavy, not like the weight that two girls could lift.

But Bai's mother was responsible for carrying only the light, small bags; Xiao Bai carried most of the groceries back in her arms.

"After being away for so many years, Xiaobai, you're almost stronger than your dad now." After returning home, Xiaobai's mother looked at her with a smile. "Thanks to you, you bought a lot of things at once. We can have a big meal tonight."

"Hehe." Little White smiled at White Mother.

"Admiral, Auntie!" The ship girls all stood up to greet them.

"What would you like to eat tonight? Chicken, duck, fish, meat—I know how to cook quite a few dishes," Mama Bai said with a smile to the ship girls.

"Just, just do some normal things..." the ship girls replied one after another.

"Okay, okay, I'll just make something simple then." Mrs. Bai bent down and picked up a bag of beef. She was about to walk through the living room to the kitchen when she heard the voices in the living room. She looked over curiously and asked, "Hey, do you guys still like watching this kind of show?"

"Uh..." The ship girls turned to look at the rather dated music and dance channel on TV, awkwardly unsure of what to say, "It's...it's alright..."

"Oh, let me tell you, there's a really good TV drama on our channel lately, you should check it out." Seeing the ship girls' awkward expressions, Bai's mother seemed to understand something. She then walked into the living room, bent down, and picked up the remote control from the coffee table with a smile, pressing a few buttons on the TV. "I've been following this drama for a long time, it's really interesting."

The TV switched channels a few times, eventually returning to the channel it had been on before.

On the television screen, a mature woman with meticulously applied makeup is crying and pleading with a child.

"I am a ship girl, but I am also your mother!"
