Elder brother's garrison

Page 819

"Ah, I understand..." Xiaobai nodded.

I'm scared...men...

Ok……

Xiaobai thought for a while.

This is not difficult to understand.

After all, that ship girl had been persecuted by the admiral before... Although she was later safely rescued by Duan Shuiliu, which was a close call, the heart is often the most vulnerable part of a ship girl. Being betrayed by an admiral she once trusted would be a very painful thing for any ship girl... It's not impossible that she would develop some psychological problems.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai recalled the scene when she and Duan Shuiliu had just entered this building.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were many male staff members. At that time, the assistant ship girl chose to cover her ears like Shiro, and even lowered her head... probably because she was afraid to look directly at those men.

Xiao Bai sighed softly.

"Sister Duan."

"exist."

"...Why do you need my help?" Xiaobai looked up, puzzled. "Well...I'm a girl..."

“Me too,” Duan Shuiliu said.

"...But I haven't studied psychology...Doesn't your military police have positions like psychological counselors, Sister Duan?"

"She subconsciously resists any form of psychotherapy, so it's ineffective."

"Um... do you have any friends among them, Sister Duan...?"

"I have no friends," Duan Shuiliu said expressionlessly.

Xiao Bai covered her mouth with a sad expression.

"...Yes, I'm sorry..."

"No need to apologize."

"...No...but...I'm still sorry..." Xiaobai covered her mouth and nodded.

"..." Duan Shuiliu looked at Xiaobai's apologetic gaze and remained silent for a while before speaking, "Your brother... has always been very good at getting along with ship girls. Among the people I know, your brother is the best in this regard. He can definitely heal her."

Xiao Bai paused for a moment after hearing Duan Shuiliu's words, then lowered her hand.

Duan Shuiliu looked at Xiaobai and said, word by word, "He is the world's number one admiral, and you are now too, so you definitely can be too."

Duan Shuiliu's expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with an almost resolute determination.

It was a gaze that completely abandoned logic and all evidence, a pure and simple belief that I could do it, that I definitely could, even if the whole world was against me.

"...Sister Duan...do you trust my brother that much?"

"Ah."

Xiao Bai sighed.

--it is good.

—No matter what.

—Those who like their older brother are not bad people.

How did Sister Duan and my brother meet?

“…If you heal her, I will tell you.”

"Uh... could this information be a reward...?"

"...The reward is something else." Duan Shuiliu lowered his head, his voice hollow.

"Sister Duan, speaking of which, since the assistant has a serious mental illness, why do you still let her be the vice-captain who is in the public eye?"

"..."

"Sister Duan...?"

"...ship girls who have had painful memories often subconsciously hold a certain degree of negative view of the admiral, making it difficult for them to be impartial."

“That is… understandable…” Xiaobai paused for a moment.

"But Convers is different. She fears men, but she has never hated them. Even when the target is a male admiral, she can still be fair... Convers' heart is still full of warm sunshine."

"..."

"..."

"Okay, leave it to me!" Xiaobai swiftly reached out her hand to Duan Shuiliu.

Chapter 1085 Convers

After saying goodbye to Duan Shuiliu inside the room, Xiaobai left the conference room.

Duan Shuiliu's meeting room was located in a corridor on one side of the second-floor lobby. At the end of the corridor were the men's and women's restrooms, and the middle passageway was mostly filled with rooms similar to Meeting Room 1 and Meeting Room 2.

Standing at the door of the conference room, Xiaobai looked at both sides of the corridor.

The end of the road near the restroom was deserted, and the other side leading to the lobby was the only way to leave the second floor.

There were water dispensers in the spacious lobby. When Xiaobai arrived, many staff members who were massaging their shoulders and stretching their backs were holding their thermos cups and lining up in front of the water dispensers, chatting with each other while waiting for the person in front of them to fill up their hot water.

The corridor exit is close to the water dispenser, and even though Xiaobai doesn't concentrate much, he can clearly hear what the staff in front of the water dispenser are talking about.

These staff members are all humans hired by the Admiral's Guild. Their hobbies are the same as those of normal people in human society, so their conversations are mostly about the plot of a popular web series, the latest gossip and scandals of a celebrity they've always disliked, the recent world ranking of a team in a game they haven't played in a long time, and whether they should go and chat up the girl who's been standing in the corner since earlier.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai looked towards the corner of the wall.

Upon seeing the scene in the corner, Xiaobai gave a wry smile, as if to say, "I knew it."

Convers, who was originally going to get water for Xiaobai and Duan Shuiliu, was now holding two empty mugs, head down, away from the crowd, silently standing in a far corner, waiting for the people in front of the water dispenser to disperse.

Comfors stood there alone, holding a mug, looking quite lonely from a distance.

Convers has a distinctively charming and cute appearance. She has a curvaceous figure, long limbs, and soft curves. Her body is well-developed. Although she looks young, her every move and glance exudes a subtle sense of maturity.

Even though she stood far away, in a secluded corner, she still seemed to attract the attention of those around her, as if she were glowing.

"Comfort!"

As Xiaobai called out the name of her assistant ship girl, she jogged towards her.

Convers looked up, slightly surprised.

Seeing Xiaobai walking towards him with a smile, Convers paused briefly before a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"...Captain, she told you my ship's name, Admiral..." Convers said to Xiaobai with a smile.

Xiaobai stopped next to Convers and turned to stand next to Convers, pressing himself against the wall with Convers.

"Just call me Lu Lin." Xiao Bai nodded to Convers.

"Sorry, there's a queue at the water dispenser... so... you'll probably have to wait a while."

"It's okay, I've already finished talking with Sister Duan."

Xiao Bai carefully examined the two mugs in Convers's hand for a while.

Both mugs were empty.

Comfors's hands, which were holding the mug, were also tender and white.

“...I see.” Convers’s voice sounded somewhat hollow.

It seems that Convers now realizes what Duan Shuiliu told Xiaobai.

Comvers' lively expression, like a burnt-out ember, gradually dimmed.

“…Um, Convers…Sister Duan just told me about your situation,” Xiaobai said to Convers.

"..." Convers lowered her head, wanting to give Xiaobai a wry smile, but this time her brows trembled and furrowed, and she couldn't manage a smile. "...That's true."

Xiaobai and Convers remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Xiaobai was silent for a while. She scratched her cheek, thought for a moment, and then slowly reached out and, in Convers's sight, took both mugs from her hands and put them into her own arms.

"Well, anyway, I'll go get some water first." To Convers's surprise, Xiaobai grabbed two mugs and ran towards the water dispenser.

Over at the water dispenser, the staff who had been chatting and secretly watching Comfors saw Xiaobai excitedly running over from Comfors carrying two large water bottles. After exchanging glances, someone took the lead and they all stepped aside to give Xiaobai their place in line.

Xiao Bai bowed deeply to thank the staff as she walked unimpeded to the water dispenser, filled two cups with hot water, and then smoothly returned to the corner amidst the staff's seemingly healed smiles and farewell cheers.

"..." Convers.

"I just came out from Sister Duan's side. She's not thirsty, so you can have this." Back beside Convers, Xiaobai smiled and handed Convers a mug.

"……Thanks."

Convers instinctively picked up the mug and tightened his grip on it.

"You're welcome, after all, we've been waiting in line for so long."

"...Um, may I ask if the captain...did she say anything else?"

"Sister Duan also said that my brother used to be a friend of women."

Xiao Bai turned his head and smiled at Convers.

Convers was stunned.

"Friend of Women?"

"Online relationship guru".

"puff."

Comfors was amused by Little White, and his brows relaxed.

"...It sounds like Admiral Lu Lin's brother must also be a very good admiral."

"So, does Convers mean that I'm great too?"

Xiao Bai asked happily.

"...Yes, Admiral Lu Lin is also great."

"Thank you!" Xiaobai chuckled.

Convers watched quietly as Xiaobai held the mug, blowing air into it. His gaze calmed slightly, and then he looked towards the water dispenser.

Over by the water dispenser.

The entire line of staff members who were originally queuing up watched as Convers and Xiaobai held hot water cups and chatted with each other with smiles, and they all nodded and gave a thumbs up.

That expression seemed to say something.

Lilies, awesome!

Similar to (one) two (two) neighboring four.

Convers's complicated gaze fell back on Xiaobai, who was blowing on his cup.

Convers took a deep breath and patted his cheek with his other hand.

"Admiral Lu Lin".

"Um?"

"Let's go to my room."

"what?"

“Since the captain asked you to give me psychological treatment, we need to find a quiet place, right? I’ll cooperate fully with you.” Convers flexed his arms, striking a determined pose towards Xiaobai. “So, please don’t mind me, feel free to order me around!”

Looking at Convers's determined expression, Xiao Bai felt a pang of emotion.

Having promised Duan Shuiliu that she would try her best to comfort Xiaobai of Convers, she was actually a little unsure how to start the conversation when she found Convers in the lobby.

Although treating the psychological problems of ship girls is also an important part of the admiral's compulsory course.

Although a psychologist who is not good at emotional counseling is not a good admiral.

Although, as soon as Xiaobai took office, he managed to get the reclusive Saratoga to accept him.

Although Xiaobai helped Chicheng, who had run away from home, resolve her inner conflicts and stop being depressed.

Although, Xiaobai told Lexington to let go and trust himself.
