"Sister Nanxing, you're welcome..."
"You've been a great help," Nanxing said.
"Ah... um..." Xiaobai's gaze wandered a little, "Ben, it was because of me that you got up so late, Sister Nanxing..."
“…?” Nanxing looked at Xiaobai with a mixture of innocence and confusion.
"Haha..." Xiaobai didn't linger on the topic. She scratched her cheek and slowly got off Nanxing. "Sister Nanxing, let's go get something to eat."
"Ah."
Nanxing responded.
After Nanxing changed her clothes, the two went to the living room.
Nanxing casually picked up a piece of bread from the coffee table in the living room. As she took a small bite of the bread, she looked down to check her work progress for the day.
"How's the work going?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
“…Perfect.” Nanxing put down the bread she had only taken a few bites of and whispered to Xiaobai, “You are more suitable to be the admiral here than I am.”
"Um... well, let's forget about it then. Miss Hu Teng and the others definitely prefer you."
"..." Nanxing lowered her head and bit into her bread, chewing it in small bites. She was quiet for a while, then suddenly glanced sideways at Xiaobai's neck.
Although her snow-white, smooth hair was covering Xiaobai's neck, one could still see the collar around her neck and the iron chain hanging down to her body through a few gaps in her hair.
"Aren't you going to take it off?" Nanxing asked.
"The key is with Sister Nanxing..."
"You can just tear it off."
"Sigh, this is..."
"?"
"It's a memento, after all..." Xiaobai smiled sheepishly.
Nanxing held up the bread and met Xiaobai's gaze for a moment. Xiaobai nodded as if she understood, then reached into her pocket, opened the ship's equipment space, and took out an exquisite silver key.
Nanxing put the bread aside, moved closer to Xiaobai, and reached out to pinch Xiaobai's iron chain.
Xiao Bai turned to the side towards Nan Xing and raised her chin.
Nanxing slowly followed the chain upwards, reaching into Xiaobai's hair to touch Xiaobai's collar. Then, Nanxing took out the key, gently inserted it into the collar's keyhole, and gave it a gentle twist.
There was a crisp sound.
The collar around Xiaobai's neck popped open.
Nanxing smoothed Xiaobai's long hair, placed Xiaobai's collar on the coffee table, then bent down and rolled the long iron chain into a bundle. Under Xiaobai's gaze, she sent it into her ship equipment space.
"In the future... let's not use this anymore," Nanxing said softly.
"Hmm...that's fine too." Xiaobai nodded from the side.
"When I used this yesterday, I felt... weird," Nanxing muttered to herself, looking down and touching her chest. "It's like I did a lot of things that aren't things I would normally do..."
Chapter 3755 The Blonde Maid
Nanxing is indeed quiet and reserved in her daily life, and this personality trait remains unchanged after she and Xiaobai develop a deeper relationship.
It's like a period of reflection or sanity.
After a day of rest and adjustment, Nanxing began to wonder if she had gone too far the night before.
Xiaobai could only smile helplessly at Nanxing's thoughts.
"Sister Nanxing, give me a kiss." Xiaobai reached out her hand and said to Nanxing.
"Mmm." Nanxing nodded, interrupting her thoughts, she reached out and hugged Xiaobai's waist, then leaned in and kissed Xiaobai.
After kissing for a while, Nanxing's gaze became somewhat hazy.
After their lips parted and they caught their breath, Nanxing was about to lean in again when Xiaobai stepped back a little.
"Sister Nanxing, I have to go back today," Xiaobai said. "I've stayed in Shenzhen for too long. I came in a hurry before, and now I have to go back and take a look."
“…Hmm…” Nanxing was silent for a while, then nodded and withdrew her lips.
As a farewell kiss, that one was enough to satisfy Nanxing.
Nanxing thought for a while, then reached out and covered her rosy lips, her eyes lowered.
"Hmm? Sister Nanxing, what's wrong?"
"...Is there still bread crumbs in my mouth?" Nanxing looked up and asked Xiaobai in a low voice.
"……what……"
Xiao Bai understood and smiled knowingly.
Nanxing's mouth is very clean. Although the taste is that of a normal girl's mouth, not as overly fragrant as Akagi's, the feeling of kissing her, the experience of touching a flame burning quietly beneath the ice, still made Xiaobai very satisfied.
……
After making a phone call to Chao Dahe, Chao Dahe quickly appeared in the teleportation anchor room.
When Chaoda watched as Xiaobai and Nanxing finished dressing and acted as if nothing had happened, a vivid look of speechlessness appeared in her red eyes, as if to say that Xiaobai and Nanxing had gone to unnecessary trouble.
After saying goodbye to Nanxing, Xiaobai followed Chaodahe into the teleportation anchor room.
Nanxing waved to Xiaobai and Chaodahe from outside the door. After Chaodahe waved back to Nanxing, Nanxing stepped forward and slowly closed the door.
"Admiral, shall we return to Chapter 8 first, or to the naval base?" Super Yamato asked Shiro.
“I called Lexington yesterday, so let’s head back to Chapter 8 today,” Shiro said with a smile to Yamato. “Ah… speaking of which, Missouri and the others have also gone back to Chapter 8, right?”
"Hmm..." Chao Da nodded.
"Sorry... I seem to be returning a little later than I said I would yesterday..."
“It’s alright, Admiral. Missouri and Iowa have already told you that you’ll be back by noon the next day at the very least,” said Chao Yamato.
"..." Xiaobai blushed.
Super Yamato summoned a teleportation vortex leading to Chapter 8. Shiro and Super Yamato stepped into the vortex, and after a dizzying spin, Shiro returned to the familiar Chapter 8.
This trip to Shenzhen was a truly unexpected experience for Xiaobai.
She originally just wanted to stay in Shenzhen with the ship girls for two or three days, but one strange thing after another happened, and before she knew it, more than a week had passed.
—I wonder if Miss Yingying in Chapter Eight managed to hold on while I was away…
"Super Yamato, when you came back yesterday, did you arrange everything here?" As the two walked out of the underground garage of the teleportation anchor point and onto the sunny playground, Shiro turned to Super Yamato and asked.
"Yes, everything is arranged." Chao Dahe thought for a moment and said to Xiaobai, "After we came back yesterday, we ran into Veneto."
"Oh? Veneto?"
"She took 1913 and Illinois away, saying that she would personally arrange special training for them today."
"In person? Veneto is really that interested."
Xiaobai was a little surprised. She remembered that when she asked Veneto to train Hancock, Veneto simply handed Hancock over to the Veneto-class ship girls from Nia's family.
Unexpectedly, Veneto was so enthusiastic this time. Before I could even ask her for help, she took the initiative to pull people to the special training.
Xiao Bai thought for a while. Although he wasn't quite sure what Veneto was thinking, he guessed that the reason Veneto was so interested was probably because 1913 and Illinois were respectively Changchun and Missouri's "close sisters".
After all, Veneto is usually close to the Changchun and Iowa-class ship girls, so it's quite reasonable that she would be more attentive when needed.
"Um……"
Thinking of this, Xiaobai nodded and smiled at Chaoda.
"With such a super Yamato, the training ground must be especially lively today."
"Hmm... does the Admiral want to go see it?" Chao Yamato asked.
"I'll go to the Chapter 8 guild first."
"Ah...then let's go back and use the teleportation vortex..."
"No, no, no, we'll walk this time." Xiaobai reached out and grabbed Chao Yahe, saying to her.
"?"
“Our president, who disappeared for over a week, suddenly reappeared at work. How terrifying!” Xiaobai said to Chaodahe. “Let’s just walk over normally, so everyone can be prepared.”
"Oh……"
Chao Da nodded, seemingly understanding, and then followed Xiao Bai towards the outside of the garrison.
Along the way, all the ship girls from Nia's family and the newbie naval base that he encountered greeted him very warmly as soon as they spotted him.
Xiaobai smiled and waved to the ship girls.
As she and Chao Da were passing by the ship girl dormitory, they saw a familiar maid figure carrying a broom, sweeping the floor at the entrance of the dormitory building with her head down. She would occasionally look up and look around, as if searching for someone.
The maid had cascading blonde hair, and her slender figure, elegant and noble, was covered by a long black and white dress. She was as tall as a swan. She seemed a little absent-minded while working, and her blue eyes kept glancing around, with a hint of worry in their depths.
Xiao Bai stopped and looked at it curiously for a few more moments.
This maid... is none other than Richelieu, who recently became a full-fledged member of the novice garrison.
Xiao Bai clearly remembered that she had already given her freedom and that she no longer had to work as a maid every day. Why was she wearing this outfit and coming here to clean again?
And it looks like they're waiting for someone.
Waiting for whom...
Jean Bart?
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai looked around and soon spotted Jean Bart, who was yawning with his cheek resting on his hand and legs crossed, on a bench a few steps away from Richelieu.
Isn't Jeanbart right here...?
As Xiaobai was wondering, he saw Richelieu in the distance holding a broom, his gaze finally sweeping over Xiaobai and Chao Yamato.
The moment Richelieu saw Shiro and Yamato, her expression blossomed like a white flower, revealing an expectant smile. She immediately grabbed her broom, lifted her feet, and ran towards Shiro.
"Admiral Lu Lin, Admiral Lu Lin..."
Richelieu jogged up to Little White, panting slightly, her blonde hair appearing a bit fluffy in the sunlight from her movements.
Little White smiled at Richelieu.
“Richelieu, good morning… oh no, good afternoon,” Little White said. “Why are you still working as a maid here?”
“Ah…this is…the work clothes that calm me down when I’m panicking…” Richelieu opened her mouth, then pushed up her long skirt a little shyly and spoke to Xiaobai respectfully.
"Okay..." Xiaobai smiled, "I just saw you looking for something, were you looking for me?"
“Yes, yes!” Richelieu nodded quickly.
"Oh? What's up? Do you want a raise?" Xiaobai joked. "You can email Lexington to request a raise."
“No, it’s not about the money…” Richelieu shook her head, lowered the broom in her hand, and her tone became sincere, “Admiral Lu Lin… please help me…”
"What kind of help?"
When Xiaobai heard Richelieu's voice sound serious, he immediately put away his playful expression and focused on asking the question.
“…Admiral Lu Lin, please…” Richelieu whispered, “please…please fill me up…”
"……"noob.
"..." Chao Da turned his head and looked at Xiao Bai.
"Huh? You think that way about me?" Xiaobai immediately raised her hands towards Chaodahe, "No, no, Richelieu and I are just a normal admiral and ship girl..."
“Admiral, I haven’t said anything yet…” Chao Yamato said.
"Um... well, I was just afraid you'd misunderstand..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly, then looked at Richelieu, "Riccieu, what did you just say, 'fill up'... say it again, so you don't misunderstand."
“I, I mean…” Richelieu nodded hurriedly, one hand on her chest, “Admiral Lu Lin, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, please use your spiritual power to fill me up again!”
"...Huh? Replenishing mental energy?"
Xiao Bai was surprised. She first looked at Richelieu's expression, then subconsciously looked away and looked at Jean Bart on a bench not far away.
Jean Bart saw Xiao Bai and her group from a distance. She raised her hand and waved, then placed both hands on the bench and stretched out her long legs to swing on the ground.
"Oh...so it's about mental energy...are you going to replenish your mental energy so soon?" Xiaobai understood Richelieu's meaning and asked him, "I remember that after I replenished your mental energy before, I could see Jean Bart for at least a month, right? I've been keeping an eye on things concerning you, and there should still be more than a week left."
“Yes…” Richelieu said to Little White, “That’s how it was before…”
