Elder brother's garrison

Page 2671

Xiaobai closed her eyes, pondered for a while with some hesitation and shame, until her face was almost completely red before she finally gave up struggling and spoke softly.

"...Master, it's time, it's time to get up..."

Little White murmured softly.

Nanxing's steady breathing was disturbed, and the next second, Nanxing opened her extremely sleepy eyes.

Nanxing looked at Xiaobai, who was so close to her, and slightly opened her mouth.

"Sister Nanxing, you're awake! Quick, the secretary ship is almost here, let's get ready..." Xiaobai said hurriedly, "We still have to..."

As Xiaobai was speaking, Nanxing, who had just opened her sleepy eyes, stirred slightly. She propped herself up, raised her delicate, snow-white chin, and tilted her head back like a long snake moving to the rhythm of music. She slowly reached up to Xiaobai's face and gently kissed Xiaobai's lips.

then.

Nanxing lost consciousness again, fell into Xiaobai's arms, and continued to sleep.

Xiao Bai quickly caught Nan Xing.

With a cracking sound, the other end of the iron chain that Nanxing had been holding finally slipped from his grasp and crashed to the ground.

Xiao Bai helplessly hugged Nan Xing, looked down at the iron chain dragging on the ground, and sighed.

Nothing more...

It seems that Sister Nanxing really won't be waking up anytime soon...

Fortunately, she at least loosened the chains, giving Xiaobai her freedom...

Xiao Bai carried Nan Xing from the living room to the bedroom, put her on the bed, then ran back to the living room to pick up the clothes scattered on the floor and sprayed air freshener around.

After quickly preparing the environment, Xiaobai touched the iron chain around his neck.

The key to this chain is probably in Nanxing's ship equipment space. Nanxing is currently asleep, so Xiaobai won't be able to get it out anytime soon.

Anyway, Sister Nanxing said that this would only be used once, so she might as well just tear it off...

Thinking this, Xiaobai reached out and gently grasped the connection between the collar and the chain around her neck.

However, just as Xiaobai was about to snap her fingers, she suddenly fell into deep thought.

In the quiet room, only the gentle sounds of sunlight and the serene revival of all things could be heard.

Nobody knows what Xiaobai is thinking.

After thinking for a while, Xiaobai silently wrapped the iron chain around itself.

Chapter 3752 Hu Teng

Xiao Bai ultimately failed to break the chain around his neck.

Xiaobai gently picked up the narrow iron chain around her neck, carefully coiled it into a ball, and then sat alone on the sofa in the living room, beginning to put on her clothes one by one. From the inside out, from top to bottom, the clanging of metal echoed intermittently… While dressing, she was extremely careful not to let the iron chain around her neck leave any trace. Finally, she concealed the chain under her collar, ensuring it was no longer visible.

Xiaobai's clothes are relatively loose, so they can't hide anything too big, but hiding a chain that's only as thick as a marker pen isn't a problem for her.

After properly securing the chains around her body, Xiaobai went to the mirror in the living room and carefully tidied her long hair in front of the mirror.

Sunlight shone on Xiaobai, making her snow-white hair glitter like gold.

Xiao Bai gently brushed her hair back until it all fell smoothly down, completely covering the collar around her neck, before letting go.

Looking at herself in the mirror, looking exactly the same as usual, Xiaobai nodded slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief, held her waist, and looked away from the mirror.

...In short, I managed to hide the pet collar and chain before Sister Nanxing woke up.

Regarding why Xiaobai didn't break the collar and chain around her neck... Actually, it wasn't that Xiaobai became interested in trying this unconventional method again after trying it with Nanxing for one night—after all, Xiaobai is a rather traditional girl. The kind of wild play she did last night really doesn't fit the word "traditional." Although it was indeed exciting, for Xiaobai, it was just an occasional treat in her long life, and she would probably only try it once in her lifetime.

After all, Xiaobai still prefers to hug the beautiful older women closely, immersing himself in the gentle atmosphere of mutual affection, and enjoying the deep intimacy and warmth under their gentle movements.

The reason Xiaobai didn't destroy the collar and chain is simply because the key to the collar and chain is currently in Nanxing's ship equipment space.

Xiao Bai felt that if she broke the collar and chain unilaterally before Nan Xing woke up, it would be as if she were telling Nan Xing that she hated this kind of play and hoped that she would not do it again in the future.

Nanxing must have made a lot of determination and courage to make that request of her last night. Xiaobai didn't want Nanxing's courage to lead to a lifetime of introversion, so she wanted to wait until Nanxing woke up so that she could personally unlock her collar with the key. This would be a proper ending to last night's special activity.

Correct.

That's it.

It is well-reasoned and logically sound.

It's definitely not because I want to do it again.

With her eyes closed and cheeks flushed, Xiaobai repeatedly combed her long hair by her ears with her fingertips, thinking to herself.

Just as Xiaobai was immersed in his own thoughts.

Suddenly.

"Jingle Bell--"

A clear and pleasant doorbell rang outside the dormitory room.

Xiaobai jolted awake, opened her eyes, and her mind immediately cleared. She quickly looked at the wall clock in the living room.

Xiaobai had just spent some time cleaning the dormitory and herself, and it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

According to the schedule of the Nanxing Naval Base, at this time, it is time for Nanxing's secretary ship to come to Nanxing's dormitory with today's work documents to hand over the documents for the day.

The doorbell rang a few times and then stopped.

Xiao Bai quickly checked the living room, and after confirming that there was nothing inappropriate in the living room, Xiao Bai jogged away from the living room, closed the bedroom door behind him, and finally stopped in front of the dormitory door.

Looking at the tightly closed dormitory door, Xiaobai patted her chest gently, took a deep breath, gently grabbed her collar and sniffed her own scent, then reached out to unlock the door and pushed it open.

The moment the door opened, sunlight streamed in, accompanied by birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

The fresh air, mixed with morning dew and moisture, pattered against Xiaobai's face like a gentle stream.

The first thing that caught Xiaobai's eye was a head of long, light purple hair that was flowing in the wind.

Outside the door of Nanxing's dormitory, a ship girl stood gracefully.

The ship girl visiting Nanxing's dormitory was dressed in a dark blue naval uniform. She had striking features, exquisite makeup, and a tall, slender figure. Her appearance possessed both youthful beauty and the composed elegance of a mature woman. A polite smile graced her face as she carried a large stack of heavy white paper documents in her arms. A dark blue shawl draped gently over her slender shoulders, extending from her elbows and fluttering lightly in the breeze.

The ship girl's lower body is covered with a short skirt and stockings that match her military uniform. She is fairly well covered up, but a section of flesh-colored skin is exposed between the skirt and the stockings. Her already tall and outstanding figure appears even more straight and long in this outfit.

The ship girl who came to visit was naturally the secretary ship of the Nanxing Naval Base.

This wasn't the first time Xiaobai had met this ship girl.

For example, when Xiaobai first met Nanxing, and later when Nanxing went to participate in the event in Chapter 8, Xiaobai had several encounters with this ship girl.

Although Nanxing was between them, which meant they didn't communicate much, they were still somewhat familiar with each other through Nanxing's connection.

When the secretary ship girl saw that it was Xiaobai who opened the door, instead of her own admiral, she first showed a surprised expression on her face. Then, the surprise turned into a smile, and she bowed slightly to Xiaobai.

"Commander Lu Lin, please give me your greetings."

"Ah, hello... uh... um..." Xiaobai opened her mouth to the secretary ship in front of her. She wanted to call out the other party's name and say hello, but after thinking for a while, Xiaobai suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit.

Despite the fact that she and Nanxing have had this kind of close relationship more than once or twice, Xiaobai doesn't seem to know the name of this secretary ship girl.

Nanxing rarely mentioned the secretary ship's name to Xiaobai. When she occasionally did mention the secretary ship, she always used the term "secretary ship" to make it easier for Xiaobai to understand. As for Xiaobai... the white-haired ship-collecting demon's reputation was so prominent that it didn't have a good name. To avoid suspicion, Xiaobai had deliberately not paid attention to the ship girl roster of Nanxing Naval Base. So now that she had suddenly encountered the secretary ship, Xiaobai couldn't remember her name for a while.

At this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt, as if he had been harming someone else's child behind his parents' backs.

Nanxing's secretary ship looked at Xiaobai, who was stuttering a little, and instantly understood what Xiaobai meant. She then smiled at Xiaobai.

“Commander Lu Lin, I’m so sorry, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself to you. My name is Hutten. Ulrich von Hutten.” The secretary ship of Nanxing held up the documents, a smile playing on her lips, and said to Xiaobai in a very proper manner, “I have been serving in this naval base for six years. I was personally appointed as the secretary ship by Admiral Nanxing, and I am responsible for taking care of the Admiral’s daily life and assisting him in handling various work-related matters. I hope you will take good care of me in the future.”

"Oh! Hu Teng, it's nice to meet you!" Xiao Bai nodded quickly to Hu Teng.

"I'm here to submit today's work documents to the Admiral, and by the way, the deadline for submitting last night's work documents is also..." Hu Teng said softly, her gaze lingering on Xiao Bai's fair face, smiling and tilting her head, "May I come in?"

"Ah...yes...yes, that's fine..."

Xiao Bai instinctively took a step back.

Hu Teng bowed to Xiao Bai while holding the documents, then walked in with a smile.

Just as Xiaobai was about to close the door, she heard a series of flapping sounds outside. Curious, Xiaobai looked outside and discovered that three crows had landed by the window.

"Huh... Sister Nanxing keeps crows in her garrison?" Xiaobai murmured subconsciously.

“That’s an eagle, Commander Lu Lin.”

Hu Teng's voice came from behind Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai looked at Hu Teng upon hearing the sound.

Hu Teng had already taken off his boots and was standing in the living room, smiling politely at me.

"These are my ship-mounted pets, named Zikingen, Albrecht, and Ezio. You don't need to pay special attention to them; they'll wait for me obediently outside."

"Ah...sorry."

“It’s alright, Commander Lu Lin, they do look a lot like crows,” Hu Teng explained with a smile. “However, if you look closely, you’ll find that although their feathers are black, their beaks and claws are much sharper than those of crows.”

Hu Teng, having served as the secretary ship for six years, possesses an ability to read people's expressions, avoid making them feel awkward, and always follow the flow of conversation—a truly comfortable experience.

No wonder Nanxing is clearly a severe social phobia and completely incapable of handling formal work, yet her naval base has been able to thrive for so many years... It seems that everything is inextricably linked to this secretary ship who is proficient in communication and skilled in interpersonal relationships...

Xiao Bai glanced at the crows outside the door... or rather, the eagles, then simply left the door open and turned to look at Hu Teng.

"Miss Hu Teng...may I call you that from now on?"

“Of course, Commander Lu Lin. But you can just call me by my name.”

"Hmm... you have quite a lot of ship-mounted pets, actually. There are so many."

Chapter 3753: Very Tasteful

This wasn't Hu Teng's first time visiting Nanxing's dormitory. Holding the documents, she walked into the living room without looking around, as if it were a routine matter.

Xiao Bai followed behind Hu Teng, watching her walk into the living room, skillfully approach the coffee table, then gently squat down, place the documents in her hand in the center of the coffee table, and pick up the remaining documents on the coffee table one by one, bending down to read them.

"Hmm... Has Commander Lu Lin also seen ship-mounted pets?" Hu Teng asked.

"Yes, I have quite a few ship girls too."

"As expected of a newbie naval base." Hu Teng said to Xiao Bai, "It's extremely rare for ship girls to have companion ship equipment pets. Even in our naval base, I'm the only one with such a precedent. I didn't expect it to be such a common occurrence in a newbie naval base."

"It's not that it's not surprising..."

"What do the ship-mounted pets look like on Commander Lu Lin's side?"

"Yes, most of them are cats, but there are also bald eagles and hamsters..."

"That's really interesting." Hu Teng smiled at Xiaobai. "I've heard that some extremely special ship-mounted pets can even speak human language. Does Commander Lu Lin have any similar cases?"

"Yes, there is..."

"As expected of a rookie naval base." Hu Teng sighed again, his eyes sincere. "My three friends can't speak, but fortunately they've been with me since birth. Over time, I've gradually learned to communicate with them through eye contact and gestures."

"Impressive." Xiaobai nodded to Hu Teng.

"Thank you for the compliment." Hu Teng said to Xiao Bai with a smile. She picked up the documents in her hands and continued with a smile, "The handwriting on these documents is different from that of my admiral. Were they all written by you, Commander Lu Lin?"

"Ah...yes." Xiaobai nodded subconsciously.

Xiaobai didn't think that handling Nanxing's work was something she needed to keep from the ship girls.

Xiao Bai continued speaking to Hu Teng.

“Sister Nanxing was a little tired last night, so she went to sleep and hasn’t woken up yet. Um… I heard her say that she seems to need these documents urgently, so I’m helping her process them… Why don’t you wait a bit, and we’ll give these documents to you after Sister Nanxing has finished checking them?”

“It’s alright, Commander Lu Lin.” Hu Teng smiled after hearing Xiao Bai’s words. Then she organized the documents on the table one by one and stacked them into a volume. “Your relationship with my admiral is so close that it’s no longer just a friendship. I think we don’t need to go through these formalities. Besides, as a ship girl who was saved by you, I am willing to trust you, both in terms of your character and your professional competence.”

"Did I save you?" Xiaobai asked.

“Yes,” Hu Teng said with a smile. “Our naval fleet of ship girls was once trapped in a strange space by the Abyssal Fleet using mysterious abilities. It was you who led the team to save us.”

"Ah..." Xiaobai suddenly realized. She looked at Hu Teng and thought for a while before continuing, "It seems there is such a thing."

"Okay, then I'll take the work documents here first." Hu Teng stood up with the documents in her arms and said to Xiao Bai, "Commander Lu Lin, I'll go say hello to the Admiral first, and then I'll leave."

"Oh...wait a minute!"

As soon as Xiaobai spoke, she suddenly realized something and quickly reached out to grab Hu Teng's shawl.

Hu Teng stopped in place and looked back at Xiao Bai.

"Commander Lu Lin?"

"Um... well..." Xiaobai stammered, awkwardly scratching her cheek. "Sister Nanxing is still asleep... how about... you come again next time?"
