Elder brother's garrison

A police officer carrying a notebook came up to Xiaobai, saluted him, took a brief statement, and then left.

"Wow... Admiral, you're ruthless..." After the crowd dispersed, Ooi turned around and looked at Shiro with admiration. "When did you call the police?"

"After chatting with the company... I saw that I still had some time, so I called the police on a whim..." Xiaobai said embarrassedly.

"...In every sense, Admiral, you are too strong," Ooi exclaimed.

“However… Admiral, even if you send them to the police station… these crimes aren’t very serious. All together, they’ll only be detained for a few months. Their organizations can bail them out in a few days,” Kitakami said to Shiro.

"There's no other way... It would be so awkward if I met with the mastermind tonight and found them around too." Xiaobai scratched his head. "At least they can't come out tonight, right?"

"Hmm... I can't get out."

"That's good." Xiaobai nodded.

Xiao Bai and the others looked at each other, and finally their gazes drifted to what was behind them.

Behind the crowd.

A man with a somewhat withered face was holding Xiaoyu's hand, looking at everyone with gratitude.

"This must be Xiaoyu's father, right?" Xiaobai asked Xiaoyu's father.

“Beautiful lady… thank you so much for your help…” Xiaoyu’s father bowed deeply to Xiaobai, sobbing uncontrollably, “I really, really thank you!”

"Ah, no need to thank me. What I said before was the truth. The reason we're helping you now is because you and your wife have been taking care of my friend these past few years, haven't you?" Xiaobai smiled at Xiaoyu's father. "That's called good deeds being rewarded."

"..." Xiaoyu's father grinned bitterly, revealing an expression that was hard to tell whether to laugh or cry.

"But in short, my brother once said that loan sharks are all bad people, and once you get involved, you're bound to have a lifelong entanglement with them," Xiaobai said to Xiaoyu's father. "So even though you're fine now, I'm afraid there's something wrong here..."

"Yes, I know... I'll leave Fish City with Xiaoyu tonight..." Xiaoyu's father swallowed hard and nodded earnestly.

"Um... speaking of your job..."

“Two weeks ago, this group of loan sharks caused trouble at the company… I was fired long ago.”

"..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

"It's alright, I can keep looking for work! Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to earn more money and try to get the 170,000 yuan back to you!" Xiaoyu's father said emotionally. "I...I definitely will..."

"I see. Okay, sure." Xiaobai nodded with a smile, then took out a business card from her wallet. "In short, this is my contact information. If you have saved enough money, you can contact me through this method... Oh, by the way, if you encounter any problems in life that are beyond your control, you can also contact me through this business card. I will do my best to help you solve your problems."

Xiaobai handed the business card to Xiaoyu's father.

Xiaoyu's father accepted Xiaobai's business card and glanced at it.

The five large characters "Newbie Town Guard" on the gold-inlaid business card exude an elegant and antique charm.

"Naval Base... Naval Base..." The man looked up blankly, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Admiral... Ah! You're the Admiral!!"

"Hehe." Xiaobai chuckled.

"No wonder...no wonder." The man looked at Oi and Kitakami in surprise, muttering to himself for a while.

The man carefully put away Xiaobai's business card, and bowed three times to Xiaobai with emotion: "I will keep this business card safe, and I will definitely return your money as soon as possible!"

"Okay, remember, never touch loan sharks again."

“…Yes. I would never touch it again, even if it meant death!” Xiaoyu’s father nodded solemnly.

"Keep being a good person." Xiaobai waved her hand. "Although the dead cannot be brought back to life... as long as you are a good person, no matter what kind of trouble you encounter, even if it is very rare, there will always be people like me in the world who are willing to help you."

"..." Xiaoyu's father felt a lump in his throat, gripped Xiaoyu's arm tightly, and nodded to Xiaobai.

time is limited.

Xiao Bai did not continue chatting with Xiao Yu.

After Xiaoyu's father packed his belongings, Xiaobai and the others accompanied Xiaoyu's father and Xiaoyu to the train station. After buying them train tickets to other cities, they saw the two off as they left Fish City.

"Hmm...that puts a weight on my mind!"

As he squeezed out of the crowded train station, Ooi stretched and sighed to Xiaobai behind him.

"Oi, don't relax yet. Next, we need to pack our belongings," Kitakami said to Oi.

"Going back to the naval base, huh? I understand, I understand." Ooi smiled at Kitakami, then turned to Shiro. "Oh, by the way, Admiral, you were really good at playing mahjong just now! Did you really memorize all the mahjong tiles?"

"Well... my memory... is still pretty good..." Xiaobai said.

"Then Admiral, aren't you just pretending to be weak while actually being strong? With such a good memory, you must be amazing at mahjong!"

"...I really don't know how to play mahjong..." Xiaobai replied shyly, head down.

"Hahaha." Dai-jing laughed with a knowing look on his face.

"On the contrary, Ooi, you seem to be quite adept at cheating with your ship's equipment space... When we first met, you even said you didn't cheat..."

"One thing at a time, Admiral," Ooi laughed. "As long as no one notices, it's not considered cheating."

"……"noob.

We returned to the neighborhood north of Dajing.

Ooi and Kitakami returned to their home and began packing their belongings.

After connecting with both Ooi and Kitakami through the Admiral Network, Xiaobai left the neighborhood with Iowa and Pompeii and headed to the hotel he had booked.

At the hotel, the staff kindly led Xiaobai and her two companions to the private room they had reserved.

The private room was too big; it couldn't fit three people.

Suddenly remembered.

I haven't showered for several days.

Although after acquiring the ship equipment, Xiaobai's body seemed to be fixed in its peak condition, and it wouldn't get dirty or smelly from not washing, it was still a lifestyle habit that had lasted for more than ten years.

Xiaobai still felt very uncomfortable after not taking a shower for a long time.

Xiao Bai put down his luggage, said a few words to Pompeii and Iowa, and then went into the bathroom alone.

No wonder it's a five-star hotel bathroom.

Even though the hotel has a public hot spring, the bathroom is still incredibly luxurious and opulent.

Xiao Bai took off his clothes, brought over a small stool, sat under the shower, turned on the showerhead, and took a shower amidst the rushing water.

"Wow...that feels so good."

Xiao Bai sighed.

The luxurious baths all seemed to be equipped with a special device that could generate steam, much like a sauna, which not only raised the room temperature but also created a dreamlike, misty atmosphere.

Xiaobai likes it quite a bit.

Turn on the spray device, and patches of white water mist quickly rise from the scorching stones.

With a hissing sound, the steam quickly filled the entire bathroom.

Steaming, swirling.

Xiao Bai sat under the shower, carefully washing his arms.

The feeling of water washing over its body made Xiaobai feel incredibly comfortable, and it even unconsciously hummed a soft hum.

Just now.

Amidst the rushing sound of water.

A faint creaking sound was heard.

The door to the bathhouse.

A sliver of it quietly opened.

It's almost time to collect those free razor blades every month!

Does it?!

Do you have any razor blades that are about to expire?

Hurry up and throw it at me!

Autumn pear cream! ! !

Chapter 1340 My Favorite Admiral

The showerhead continuously sprayed water onto the bathroom floor tiles, making a series of splashing sounds.

Xiao Bai squeezed some shampoo onto her head and had just lathered it up when she heard footsteps as someone opened the bathroom door and entered, amidst the sound of the shower running.

"Hmm?" Xiaobai raised her head and glanced at the mirror.

Because of the surrounding misty white fog, the mirror was also shrouded in fog. All that could be seen in the mirror was a blurry figure, and the scene behind him was not visible.

--Um.

this person.

It's probably Iowa, right?

Little White, with her head covered in snow-white foam, didn't turn around, thinking to herself.

Xiao Bai said that he had been through this before and had gradually gotten used to this kind of plot development.

Ship girls, you know.

Iowa and her two sisters act in such an outgoing and casual manner. It's not surprising that Iowa-style women would sneak in for a stroll while I'm taking a shower.

Anyway, they're all my own ship girls.

We're all girls, so there's nothing wrong with taking a shower together.

At least Xiaobai doesn't mind.

"Is that Iowa?" Xiaobai asked with a smile while rubbing the foam off her head. "Did you suddenly come into the bathroom to take a shower with me?"

The figure who walked up behind Xiaobai stood there dumbfounded like a wooden statue after Xiaobai spoke, and didn't reply for a long time.

This reaction.

Something seems off.

"Iowa?" Xiaobai was a little surprised by Iowa's reaction. She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, opened her eyes, turned around, and looked behind her. "What's wrong? You've been standing behind me for so long without saying anything... Wow!"

After seeing the person behind him.

Xiao Bai was dumbfounded.

The person standing behind Xiaobai was not Iowa.

It was the great Pompeii.

The great Pompeii, dressed in his clothes, stood dumbfounded behind Little White, clutching a towel and a bar of soap, his face showing the embarrassment of a primary school student caught cheating by the teacher.

"Uh... Pompeii?" Little White murmured, looking at the magnificent Pompeii.

“Hmm…um…” Great Pompeii nodded, looking at Little White with an embarrassed expression.

"Pompeii, you...uh...you...it's you?" Little White stared blankly at Pompeii, momentarily forgetting how to speak.

Iowa is a ship girl who lives under the same roof as her, and Iowa's sister is also a ship girl she is married to. So if Iowa enters the bathroom and says she wants to take a bath with her to relax, Shiro won't feel awkward at all.

But Pompeii was different.

Although Xiaobai had a very good first impression of Pompeii, no matter what, she had only known her for a short time and was not her ship girl. The shock of such a living girl running into her bathroom was something that ten Iowa could not match.

to be frank.

Upon seeing Pompeii behind him, Xiaobai was so shocked that his face and body froze.

"Uh... well, the hotel staff just asked us to customize our accommodation schedule. Admiral Xiaobai, you were in the bathroom, so Iowa... went out to help out." Pompeii stammered as he held a towel and soap.

“Oh…” Xiaobai blinked, “Then… Pompeii, you are…”

"Before Iowa left, she was going to bring you, Admiral Xiaobai, your personal towel and soap... She said this would be more suitable for your skin..." Pompeii said awkwardly, handing over the towel and soap, "...Here you go."

"Ah, I see..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. She stretched out her foamy hands and took the toiletries from Pompeii's hands. She looked at Pompeii shyly and said, "Well... thank you, Pompeii."

"Um...you're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll be going then..." Pompeii muttered softly, head down.

"Thank you, Pompeii." Little White smiled and waved to Pompeii.

Pompeo turned around silently.

But they haven't taken the first step yet.
