The scene in the living room gradually transformed into something resembling a tea party, with the ship girls chatting and laughing, eating snacks and sunflower seeds, seemingly having endless topics to discuss.
When Xiaobai and his group arrived in Nanxing, it was still morning. As it got closer to afternoon and the sunlight wasn't as glaring as it was in the morning, Xiaobai took out his phone to check the time and tugged at Nanxing's sleeve.
"Sister Nanxing, it's almost time," Xiaobai said.
“…Hmm.” Nanxing reluctantly turned her gaze away from the group of chatting ship girls and nodded to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai and Nanxing got up.
When the ship girls saw that Nanxing and Xiaobai were about to leave, they all closed their mouths, put down their snacks and drinks, and stood up.
The living room suddenly fell silent with a whoosh.
Nanxing looked at the ship girls.
"Are you guys going to come too?"
“Well… just like Miss Thirteen’s wish is to come and see human society, my wish is to stay by the Admiral’s side for a while,” Illinois said with a smile.
“We’ll go with Illinois,” the other ship girls chimed in with smiles. “And while we’re at it, we can also let 1913 satisfy her desire to observe human society on the roads of Deep City. It’s a win-win situation.”
"Hmm..." Nanxing.
Chapter 3674 Returning to the Hospital
Shenzhen is a very modern city, yet it is also a city full of human touch.
Although Kyoto is a technologically advanced, world-class metropolis, the entire city is as busy as a 24-hour high-speed machine. The streets connect to the subway, and the subway connects to the city. The city is advanced and fashionable, closely linked to various entertainment and economic industries. The city is bustling with traffic, economically developed, and towering steel and concrete structures reach into the clouds. The whole city exudes an atmosphere of extravagant spending.
Shenzhen is somewhere in between, developed yet leisurely, and each of the three cities has its own unique local customs and culture.
In the afternoon, the city reveals its unique charm.
Sunlight streamed down the street, gilding the towering buildings on both sides with a golden glow. Pedestrians thronged the street, and vehicles weaved through the middle of the road, busy yet orderly.
Shops line both sides of the street.
Among the passersby, some were dressed in suits, carrying briefcases and hurrying along while talking on the phone; others were dressed casually, gathering in twos and threes, strolling leisurely between teahouses, stopping in front of colorful shop signs, chatting and laughing; and there were also elegantly dressed human girls carrying brightly colored bags and adorned with many ornaments, gathering in front of one memorable spot after another, holding their phones, smiling at the camera on the screen, laughing and chatting, the youthful voices of "One, two, three, cheese!" echoing through the street from time to time.
Yuncheng is a city that can feel both leisurely and fast-paced.
Ahead of the street.
The sound of light, hurried footsteps approached from afar.
At the other end of the city street, a group of beautiful figures appeared amidst birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Whether it was government officials making phone calls, ordinary citizens strolling leisurely, or young men and women fiddling with their phones, everyone on the street seemed to be subconsciously drawn to the small group of people who had appeared.
"Hey, look..."
"there……"
"Wow……"
"This is……?"
"ah……"
People on the street looked at the figure in the distance with amazement.
As everyone watched, the figure in the distance gradually approached and came into view.
When people on the street got a better look, they realized it was a striking group of women.
Among that line of people were tall women who stood out even when lost in the crowd, with a cool and elegant demeanor; mature women dressed in light green dresses, gently swaying their parasols, quietly observing their surroundings; and twin white-haired girls with distinctly different temperaments, one gentle and the other free-spirited; as well as several tall sisters dressed in fashionable and trendy clothes, with extraordinary temperament, like celebrities.
A petite little girl with long hair and fox ears was running and jumping around them, her eyes fixed on the surrounding streets. She looked like she was about to climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles, but fortunately, she was pulled back by the two white-haired twin girls beside her before she could do so.
There's no shortage of beautiful women online, but interesting beauties are few and far between.
Moreover, the impact of reality is something that cannot be fully experienced through a screen.
These girls are not only stunningly beautiful, but each of them also possesses a unique elegance that makes them unforgettable at first glance.
……
"Look, this city is really lively."
"There are so many humans..."
"Sister Iowa, what are they doing?"
"That's a cell phone; they're taking pictures of you."
"I see."
Aren't you going to stop them?
“That makes sense. I should pose them in some ways that are suitable for taking pictures.”
"..."
The scenery along the way was beautiful.
The ship girls looked around at the bustling streets, chatting and laughing, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they were the center of attention.
As one of the small groups that attracted extra attention from people on the street, Shiro, who was intentionally or unintentionally surrounded by the ship girls, lowered her head and fearfully pulled down her mask.
The noisy atmosphere around him gave Xiaobai a headache for a moment.
Xiaobai regretted it.
She shouldn't have brought so many ship girls with her.
Although Xiaobai did ask the ship girls to choose low-key outfits and make some adjustments to their clothing before they went out, it seems that Xiaobai still completely underestimated the eye-catching ability of her ship girls in human society...
Iowa-class, Changchun-Anshan, 1913, and also the Super Yamato...
The beauty and charisma of these individuals would place them at the very top of the ship girl hierarchy, even within the realm of ship girls. To bring them into human society, especially when they appear together, would be like pouring water into a frying pan—a far cry from the overwhelming beauty of ship girls in human society.
Thinking about the possible consequences, Xiaobai covered his forehead with a headache.
Nanxing, who was standing nearby, noticed Xiaobai's actions. She turned her head and asked with concern.
"Head, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no..." Xiaobai gave Nanxing an awkward smile, then suddenly asked, "Sister Nanxing, can you drive?"
"……I?"
"Ah."
"As for my driver's license... I still have it." Nanxing nodded.
"Then next time we go out, let's take a car..." Xiaobai sighed.
“…Hmm.” Nanxing looked around at the streets and nodded.
Xiao Bai's suggestion seemed to be exactly what Nan Xing wanted to hear.
“Miss Thirteen, now we can be considered to be living in human society.” Behind Little White, Illinois looked at 1913 and asked her, “What do you think of this place?”
“Hmm…this is quite a big city.” 1913 said with a smile, waving his parasol at Illinois.
"..."
"..."
"Don't you have any other thoughts?" Illinois asked again.
"After all, I'm just a newcomer," 1913 said with a smile. "I'll only be able to truly understand how I feel about this place after I've explored it more thoroughly."
“Oh, conservative,” Wisconsin remarked upon hearing this.
"Judging from your appearances, it's as if you've returned to familiar territory. Do you often come to human society?" 1913 looked at Wisconsin, her gaze falling on the Iowa-class ship girls. She paused for a moment before continuing.
“I don’t come very often,” Wisconsin said, “but Missouri and the others seem to have come quite often before.”
“Oh…” 1913 looked at Missouri.
“It’s all thanks to the Admiral,” Missouri smiled. “Missouri does have some experience living in human society. If Senior Thirteen has anything you’d like to know, just ask Missouri.”
“Thank you so much.” 1913 smiled at Missouri, the parasol gently twirling on her shoulder.
As Xiaobai walked ahead, listening to the chatter of the ship girls behind her, she turned around and spoke to them.
"1913, after we finish going to the hospital and take care of things there, you can have Changchun and Missouri show you around the city."
"Is the Admiral coming too?" Illinois asked.
"Ah... I won't go." Xiaobai smiled.
"Oh……"
1913 and Illinois's gazes lingered on Xiaobai and Nanxing for a moment, and the two seemed to understand something, exchanging a glance.
"The relationship between the Admiral and Admiral Nanxing is indeed very close, just as the older sisters at the naval base said."
"Will Illinois also stay with the Admiral from now on?"
“I’m very good at reading the atmosphere…” Illinois nodded and said, “If Miss Thirteen doesn’t mind, I’d like to go for a walk around the city with you this afternoon.”
Nanxing and Xiaobai's group crossed the street and headed towards the hospital.
Along the way, the group attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding appearance, but fortunately, perhaps because of the bright sunshine, they did not encounter any trouble and Xiaobai was able to reach their destination, Shenzhen Hospital, without incident.
Although it had been a while since I'd seen it, the entrance to Shenzhen Hospital was still crowded with people holding banners.
Considering that Shenzhen Hospital has become the only place, and will remain so, capable of treating severe deep-sea aura infections due to Xiaobai, the congestion at the hospital entrance is likely to continue for months or even years. Fortunately, this group of people doesn't regard Xiaobai's pretty girl group as legendary miracle doctors, so it's even easier and more convenient for Xiaobai to enter the hospital than last time.
After entering the hospital through the back door, Xiaobai and her group arrived at an empty corridor. Just as she was about to speak to Nanxing beside her, she saw two familiar figures in white coats running down the stairs one after the other.
"Lu Lin is so cute!"
A light, airy voice, yet brimming with a strong sense of welcome, rang out.
The next second, Xiaobai saw Nanxing's mother, who was also the head nurse of the hospital, opening her arms to greet him and running towards him.
"Hey? Auntie? What's wrong with you...?"
Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, she felt herself being pulled into Nanxing's arms. Following that, a strong maternal aura washed over her, and she felt a gentle caress on her head.
"My great doctor Lu, you've come all this way, of course I have to come and welcome you."
Nanxing's mother said with a smile, affectionately patting Xiaobai's head, and then bringing Xiaobai's face close to hers with a look of delight.
"Come here, let your sister see if you've lost weight these past few days."
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie..."
Xiao Bai felt her face being held in Nanxing's mother's hands, the warmth and tenderness spreading through her skin to her flesh. She subconsciously looked at Nanxing's father beside her, only to see him standing there with a complicated expression, but also a strange sense of relief as he looked at her.
"Admiral Lu Lin, you've arrived." Nanxing's father spoke up, and he explained as if he was embarrassed, "I was so busy the last few times that I forgot everything and didn't have time to pick you up. This time, Nanxing told us in advance, so of course we had to come and welcome you."
"My dear and I originally wanted to go outside to pick you up, but after thinking about it, we realized that there were so many people watching outside, so it wasn't convenient. We'll just have to wait for you here."
Chapter 3675 Severe disease
The way Nanxing's mother acted was as if she loved Xiaobai so much that she wanted to meld her into her body in front of others, hugging and cuddling Xiaobai.
Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed and shy because of Nanxing's mother's enthusiasm. She raised her hand and gently put it on Nanxing's mother's shoulder, and said to Nanxing's mother with a blush on her face.
"Thank you, Auntie... but the pick-up and drop-off doesn't need to be so formal..."
“It has to be formal, it has to be formal, after all, you are our precious baby…” Nanxing’s mother said with a smile, but she had only said half of her sentence when she subconsciously raised her eyes and saw a large group of ship girls standing behind Xiaobai, “…Oh dear.”
Nanxing's mother's gaze became dignified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Nanxing's mother finally let go of Xiaobai, and she smiled and nodded at the ship girls.
"These girls... must be Lu Lin's ship girls, right? I'm meeting many of them for the first time."
"Auntie, my ship girls and I were on a business trip in the next city. When we heard that the hospital needed help, we came over on our way." Xiaobai said the prepared explanation to Nanxing's mother.
"I see." Nanxing's mother nodded with a smile. "No wonder they arrived so quickly."
"Hello, Auntie!" the ship girls called out in unison, bowing to Nanxing's mother.
"Hmm, hello everyone." Nanxing's mother cupped one cheek, smiled and nodded. Her gaze lingered gently on each of the ship girls, paying particular attention to Super Yamato, Missouri, and Changchun for a while. "...These days, the ship girls are growing up to be more and more beautiful, each one a lovely young lady. Compared to you girls, our ship girl companions from that era were simply pathetic."
"Auntie, you mustn't..." the ship girls quickly said.
"Come in, everyone. There are quite a few people. Let's find a room to sit down first." Nanxing's mother smiled, turned around and gave Nanxing a deep look, then took Xiaobai's hand and walked up the stairs.
The ship girls followed Nanxing's mother upstairs. As they passed by Nanxing's father, they greeted him one by one.
"Hello, uncle!"
