Chapter 1249 The Resentful Lexington

After bidding farewell to the ship girls at the training ground, the little white horse, having been given guidance by Yubari, ran non-stop back to the office building of the newbie naval base.

Pushing open the door to the admiral's office, Xiaobai returned to his own office.

"I'm back!"

Xiao Bai jumped into the office and called out softly into the room.

In the Admiral's office, Head Maid Renown and Three-Star Maid Counterattack were sweeping the floor. When they heard Xiaobai's voice, they put down their cleaning tools and bowed deeply to Xiaobai.

"Welcome back, my master."

"Ah, it's Reputation and Counterattack, good morning." Little White was taken aback, then waved to Reputation and Counterattack.

"We're here to help Mrs. Lie tidy up her room." Reputation bowed slightly to Little White, then looked up and smiled gently at Little White, "Long time no see, Master."

The counterattack behind the reputation also secretly stretched out its palm towards Xiaobai, waved its slender five fingers, and revealed a charming smile.

"I see..." Xiaobai scratched his head, nodded at Reputation and Counterattack, and then looked around the room.

When Xiaobai left the office, it was filled with all sorts of posters and figurines that would make her feel ashamed. Now that Xiaobai has returned from the training ground, the office has been restored to its original state, and even the Deep Sea Maid Group that was lying on the ground has disappeared.

Lexington sat upright in her seat, a tea set in front of her. With a faint smile, she was taking out dried tea leaves from a small black jar to prepare for brewing.

"Master, the cleaning is finished, and Reputation will now step down." Reputation and Counterattack, carrying various cleaning tools, bowed slightly to Little White.

"You don't need to be in such a hurry. I just came back from outside. Let's sit down, rest, and chat."

"The Admiral just returned to the naval base with the ship girls. There's still a lot of work for Reputation to do at the plaza. If the Admiral wants to see Reputation, he can call on him anytime through the Admiral Network." Reputation said softly to Shiro, then lifted the bucket in his hand. "Then Reputation will take his leave."

"Uh... alright then... but if you have some free time, you can definitely come and rest here for a while," Xiaobai said to Shengwang.

"I understand about reputation."

Reputation smiled gently at Xiaobai, then led He and Counterattack out of the room.

Looking at the black and white silhouettes of Reputation and Counterattack, and at their maid outfits that exuded a rustic and dignified air under the sunlight, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Look.

That's professionalism.

Compared to the Abyssal Fleet maids in the newbie naval base who are good for nothing but pretty faces, the ship girl maids Renown and Counterattack give newbies the feeling that they are actually doing something...

Xiao Bai silently paid tribute to the departing figures of Shengwang and Fantai, then closed the door to the admiral's office.

The Abyssal Maids who used to be sprawled out on the floor of the Admiral's office were gone, but Saratoga had inexplicably appeared sprawled on the sofa.

"Saratoga?" Little White walked over to Saratoga and gently poked her.

"Jiajia must be tired, so she fell asleep on the sofa. Don't worry about her, Xiaobai," Lexington said with a smile, sitting in the secretary ship's seat.

"Oh, so they were sleeping..." Xiaobai nodded. "Then where did Deep Sea Musashi and the others go?"

"Since the tutoring ended with my failure, I guess I'll just have to send them back to your house." Lexington stroked his brow and sighed softly.

"Oh...I see...Hmm, but speaking of which, Saratoga's sleeping posture today is really strange..." Little White looked at Saratoga with a puzzled expression, pointing one finger forward while the other hand and two legs were pointing backward in a strange posture.

"Who knows? Sometimes Jiajia's cleverness is so unexpected, even I, her older sister, can't guess it." Lexington said to Xiaobai, raising her head slightly. "Hmm... But Xiaobai, I didn't realize you and Jiajia were so close that you even know her sleeping position!"

"Eh? No, no, no..." The fair-skinned girl blushed, quickly straightened up, and shook her head rapidly at Lexington.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Lexington looked at Xiaobai's forehead, which was so red it could boil water, and chuckled. "There seemed to be a lot of commotion over at the training ground just now. Did Xiaobai do something?"

"Yes, Yubari said she would give me test data on the ship's equipment."

"That's great. Yubari's tests are always very accurate, and she has a sharp eye. She can pinpoint the data of ship girls very accurately. It's a great opportunity for her to give you, Shiro, the chance to test your ship equipment."

"Eh...is that so..."

Xiaobai couldn't help but recall how Yubari clung to him, displaying a humble demeanor in order to get him to agree to her test request.

"Yes, Yubari is a senior researcher who studies ship equipment."

"Oh...and then, because we had to do actual combat when testing the ship equipment data, I fought with Sister Duan's ship girls and Roma and the others." Xiaobai walked to Lexington's side.

Lexington, who was sorting through tea leaves, smiled.

"No wonder there was such a commotion."

Lexington stopped talking here and instead, in front of Xiaobai, skillfully brewed a pot of tea and then poured a cup of bright green tea.

"Little White, have some tea." Lexington held up a teacup and handed it to Little White. "It's still very hot, remember to be careful."

"Oh... thank you, Lexington." Xiaobai took the teacup from Lexington, gently blew on it, and took a small sip of tea.

"How is it?" Lexington asked Little White.

"...Hmm, it's sweet and delicious." Xiaobai looked at the tea in her hand with surprise and a smile of astonishment. "It's different from the last one. I really like it."

"I see." Lexington put away the tea leaves. "I bought these tea leaves at a coffee shop near the naval base a while ago. I'm so glad you like them, Shiro."

"Huh? Tea isn't bitter?"

“It’s said that there are some special processing techniques involved.” Lexington poured herself a cup of tea, held it up to her eyes, and stared at the almost overflowing rim. “This tea doesn’t have the lingering fragrance and aftertaste of authentic tea—but it’s still a flavor in itself.”

Lexington took a small sip of her sweet tea, then looked at Little White.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked Xiaobai what you did in Chapter Six yet. We have some hot tea and snacks, Xiaobai, would you mind telling me a few interesting anecdotes?"

“Sure,” Xiaobai nodded to Lexington. “I was just about to tell you something, Lexington.”

"Judging from your expression, Xiaobai, you must have had a very exciting time in Chapter Six, right?" Lexington picked up his teacup and took another sip of sweet tea.

"Yeah, this event was amazing! I even ran into the captain of the military police, and Lianlian and the president sister have also arrived at Chapter Six."

“Hmm—that’s interesting…” Lexington heard Xiaobai’s words and her expression changed slightly. She nodded thoughtfully, put her lips to the rim of the teacup, and waited for Xiaobai’s next words.

"And I even gave Yamato-neechan a wedding ring!"

"Pfft—" Lexington's shoulder twitched, spraying a mouthful of tea all over the table.

"Eh?? Lexington, are you, are you alright..." Little White, who was standing next to Lexington, was just out of the way due to the angle and was not affected by Lexington's sudden spray. She was just startled by Lexington and quickly put down her teacup.

"Oh dear... oh dear..." Lexington, her face covered in tea, forced a smile at Xiaobai. Her hands trembled as she grabbed a towel from the table and quickly wiped the surface. As she did so, she looked at Xiaobai with a rather helpless smile. "Xiaobai, it's alright, I... I'm alright..."

Xiao Bai rarely saw the dignified, virtuous, and composed Lexington in such a disheveled state.

"But, Lexington is spraying water..."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's nothing, it's nothing..."

Lexington forced a smile, swallowed hard, and quickly wiped the tea-soaked table clean. Then, with trembling hands, he pretended to press the rag he had used to wipe the table against his face.

"No, no! That towel was used to wipe the table!" Xiaobai quickly snatched the towel from Lexington's hand. She turned around, ran to her desk, picked up a brand new towel, and handed it to the distraught Lexington.

"...Thank you, Xiaobai."

Somewhat dazed, Lexington took the towel from Little White and gently wiped her face.

Lexington put down Little White's towel.

Lexington took a deep breath.

Lexington took a deep breath.

Lexington has returned to normal.

"...Xiao Bai, you really are...you always scare me when you go out."

Lexington folded Xiaobai's towel neatly, then slowly raised her head, gazing at Xiaobai with a hint of resentment, and whispered, "Xiaobai, do you... really enjoy seeing me being bullied...?"

"Huh?? No, no, no—"

"I was just kidding, Xiaobai, don't be so nervous."

Lexington chuckled, her resentful little eyes instantly transforming into a kind smile.

"……"noob.

Lexington placed the neatly folded towel in his palm and handed it to Little White.

"I thought you were upset, Lexington..." Little White muttered softly.

“No, Yamato is actually a good girl. As for you, Xiaobai, giving her a wedding ring... I still have no objection.” Lexington smiled, but the next second, her expression turned slightly resentful. “But Xiaobai, didn’t we make an appointment after Missouri? If you have any more ideas about giving a ring, it would be best if you could tell me a little in advance. Have you forgotten, Xiaobai?”

"Uh... I... I still remember..." Xiaobai said awkwardly.

Chapter 1250 Indirect Kiss

For the ship girls, the admiral is their closest family member.

Therefore, the admiral's major life events are always the things that attract the most attention from the ship girls.

Long before Xiaobai impulsively gave Missouri a vow ring, the elders of the naval base, led by Lexington, were deeply shocked by the incident. In order to avoid having a heart attack from being frightened by Xiaobai again, they made an agreement with Xiaobai on the afternoon of the day he gave Missouri the ring. They agreed that if Xiaobai were to do something similar again in the future, they should at least give Lexington a heads-up beforehand.

Xiaobai naturally agreed to this, saying it was okay and there was no problem, and she never forgot about it.

However, sometimes things don't happen as expected.

The reasons why Xiaobai handed over the Oath Ring to Deep Sea Yamato were too complicated. From the time Xiaobai had an idea in his mind to the time he completed the oath with Deep Sea Yamato, there was only a short lunch break. During this time, Xiaobai had to run around the entire city and had no time or energy to inform Lexington, who was thousands of miles away, about this.

After all, for Xiaobai, although she never regretted giving away any of the vow rings, her actions of giving away the rings three or four times were too impulsive and, in a sense, lacked deep thought.

Extending out of the admiral's office.

Looking at Lexington's resentful expression, Xiaobai awkwardly explained to her that he had just suddenly reached a limit with his bond with Deepsea Yamato, and then, in a moment of impulsiveness, he took advantage of the incident of giving her the ship equipment bracelet to have a whirlwind marriage with her. The situation at the time was just too urgent, and he didn't have time to explain to Lexington.

After explaining, Xiaobai bowed deeply to Lexington to express his apology.

After listening to Xiaobai's explanation, Lexington also heard about the events surrounding Yamato in Chapter Six. After Xiaobai finished explaining, she sat quietly in her seat for a while before she could sort out the matter.

Lexington rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly at Little White.

"Okay... I roughly understand how things have unfolded," Lexington said helplessly. "Little White, you're right, sometimes feelings really can't be controlled by human will..."

“Lexington…” Little White looked up.

“I understand about Xiaobai and Xiang Yamato giving each other wedding rings.” Lexington nodded, but then a look of doubt appeared in her eyes. “Where is Yamato now?”

"Yamato-neechan?"

"Well, judging from Dahe's personality, once she takes your wedding ring back to the garrison, she'll probably come to me immediately to show it off and then ask me to give her a raise or better treatment." Lexington said with a wry smile.

"Ah... that's quite in line with Yamato-neechan's style..." Shiro scratched her cheek, "But Yamato-neechan... can't come over right now."

"What happened to Yamato?"

"Well, anyway... it's probably because Yamato-neechan is getting used to her new ship equipment, she's been sleeping for several days straight without waking up," Shiro said.

"Sleeping..." Lexington chuckled when she heard Xiaobai say this. "It's supposed to be your big day, Xiaobai, but Yamato has been sleeping all this time?"

"..." Xiaobai rubbed his hands, looking at the floor awkwardly.

"As expected of Yamato." Lexington laughed heartily, looking inexplicably much better. "In fact, Chapter Six is ​​as interesting as ever."

“That makes sense…” Xiaobai muttered a couple of times, following Lexington’s lead, and puffed out his chest. “That Lexington, and then, about Chapter Six, actually in Chapter Six…”

“If what you’re about to say is something as shocking as the marriage to Yamato, then let me process this for a bit first,” Lexington waved his hand at Lexington. “I can’t handle another shock like this today.”

"Uh..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly at Lexington's submissive expression. "Well, let's talk about it next time..."

Actually, Xiaobai didn't have much to say to Lexington, only three things at most.

Aside from giving Yamato a ring, the rest of the things he did were to take over the world's tenth naval base and recruit hundreds of deep-sea deans in one go.

Since Lexington said she wanted to rest today, we can leave these two things for tomorrow.

"Lexington, I got first place in this deep-sea activity, and I also brought back a lot of low-quality deep-sea dean metal." Xiaobai picked out the most insignificant thing and told Lexington.

"First place again, congratulations, Xiaobai." Lexington smiled at Xiaobai and nodded. "As expected of you, you've brought so much glory to the rookie naval base."

"Thank you, Lexington." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly, and halfway through his smile, he suddenly seemed to remember something, so he quickly lowered his arm and said to Lexington, "Oh right, Lexington, speaking of which, when I was doing exercises with Roma at the training ground just now, Yubari asked me about my carrier-based aircraft."

"Huh? Carrier-based aircraft?"

"Yes, I do have land-based shipboard equipment. Land-based shipboard equipment can also carry carrier-based aircraft."

Xiaobai nodded, then reached behind him and pulled out the carrier-based aircraft that Yubari had given him before, handing it to Lexington.

Upon seeing the white carrier-based aircraft, Lexington raised a slender eyebrow.

Lexington is, after all, a super-powerful aircraft carrier ship girl. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. She has a broad understanding and knowledge of carrier-based aircraft, and naturally has a strong interest in them. After seeing Shiro's deep-sea carrier-based aircraft, Lexington immediately switched to a serious state.

Lexington reached out and took the carrier-based aircraft from Xiaobai, then picked it up and gave it a quick look around.
