Elder brother's garrison

Sunlight streamed into the room through the window sill.

As Nanxing examined her palm, she was completely unaware that at the same time, deep within her pupils, a subtle glimmer of light, like the sun hidden by clouds, appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Chapter 3011 used it

Steam rises from the restored bathhouse of the temporary garrison.

Xiaobai was lying on the water, letting her long hair spread out with the water. She stared at the ceiling, bored out of her mind, killing the time.

Finally, footsteps could be heard outside the smoke.

"Admiral, immersing your beautiful hair in boiling water is a very damaging thing to your hair."

A familiar voice then rang out.

Missouri emerged from the white steam carrying a wooden tray of breakfast. She smiled as she approached the restoration pool, placed the breakfast on the steps, and looked at Little White floating in the water.

Every time Missouri sees Little White in the bathhouse, this is usually the first thing she says.

Ah... Missouri!

Upon hearing this, Little White in the restoration pool turned over, swam to the front of Missouri, pressed her arms against the steps of the restoration pool, and poked her head out of the water like a fish, smiling at her.

"It's alright, my hair is protected by the ship's equipment."

"Admiral, this is today's breakfast." Missouri pushed the wooden tray in her hand toward Little White. "Recently, the Admiral said he didn't want to eat too much, so Missouri only picked out some steamed buns and pickled vegetables."

"Thank you, Missouri!" Xiaobai took the wooden tray with both hands. She picked up a palm-sized steamed bun, took a bite, and then looked at Missouri. "Missouri... Where's Sister Nanxing? Is she awake?"

"Reporting to the Admiral, Admiral Nanxing has woken up and is having lunch in the canteen." Missouri covered her mouth slightly and smiled at Xiaobai. "The seniors who were in charge of receiving Admiral Nanxing have already told her that the Admiral is taking a bath. Perhaps after a while, when she has finished breakfast and is ready, she will come to find you."

"Ah... okay, okay..."

Xiao Bai blushed as she listened to Missouri's words and couldn't help but take a big bite of the steamed bun in her hand.

The steamed buns from the temporary garrison are made with exquisite craftsmanship.

It's big and soft, fragrant and white.

It's piping hot and tastes delicious.

Under Missouri's watchful gaze, Little White ate his steamed bun like a white hamster stuffing nuts into its mouth, its cheeks bulging out.

"Did you sleep well last night, Sister Nanxing?" Xiaobai asked Missouri while chewing on a steamed bun.

"The veteran night patrollers said that Admiral Nanxing's room is always very quiet," Missouri replied with her eyes closed. "It seems Admiral Nanxing slept soundly until dawn...but..."

"but?"

"This morning, someone heard some strange noises coming from Admiral Nanxing's room."

"What's that noise?"

“It seems that Admiral Nanxing accidentally broke his drinking cup this morning.” Missouri smiled at Xiaobai. “Fortunately, Admiral Nanxing was not injured. The seniors have collected and disposed of all the broken pieces of the cup and the carpet that were splattered with shards.”

"Oh...that's good, that's good." Xiaobai felt relieved after hearing Missouri's words and said to Missouri with emotion, "Missouri, thank you for your help."

"Missouri didn't do anything, though."

"You know so much about Sister Nanxing's affairs, so you must have secretly helped, right?" Xiaobai said to Missouri, holding the remaining half of the steamed bun.

"The admiral is indeed very perceptive."

"I'm not that amazing, I just know you too well."

"So, the photos Missouri took for you yesterday were also within the Admiral's expectations?"

"Zhao—cough cough cough cough." Xiaobai's breath hitched, her face turning bright red. She quickly raised her arm to cover her mouth and coughed, "Missouri, please...please don't say this suddenly during a meal, cough cough cough cough...ah..."

Missouri watched Xiaobai's flustered appearance with a smile on her face.

Missouri squatted on the ground, cupping one cheek in her hands, looking at the little white creature in the water with a playful gaze.

"It seems... the Admiral is quite satisfied with the photos of Missouri from yesterday."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Should Missouri film some more exciting scenes for the Admiral today?"

"Cough cough cough cough————"

Missouri's only response was Little White's increasingly violent coughing.

Given Xiaobai's physical condition, he only choked on his food; there's no need for him to cough for so long.

It was obvious that Xiaobai was just using coughing to cover up her shyness.

Missouri smiled as she looked at Little White's bright red ears and slowly stood up.

"Sigh... With so many seniors watching, Missouri can't accompany the Admiral to bathe and relieve boredom for the sake of his reputation." Missouri sighed, feigning worry, then lowered her hand and smiled at Xiaobai. "However, Admiral Nanxing is also a top ten admiral, and she is the Admiral's close friend, so bathing with her would be perfectly legitimate and wouldn't be subject to gossip from the seniors. With her by his side, the Admiral can hold out in the repair pool a little longer, right?"

After saying this, Missouri didn't wait for Xiaobai's reply, and then raised a finger to her red lips.

“But…Admiral, do you remember?” Missouri said with a smile, “Although it’s about companionship, Missouri won’t let Admiral Nanxing steal you away.”

"Huh... Missouri?"

"Admiral." Missouri lowered his voice, his eyes filled with a strangely distant look, and leaned into the pool, murmuring slowly to Xiaobai, "So, please look forward to the night after the ship's equipment repairs are completed these next few days. Missouri promises that you will never forget Missouri then."

Xiao Bai, holding a half-eaten steamed bun, stared at Missouri with a flushed face.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, this is the cell phone that the admiral gave to Missouri last night. Missouri has already charged it for you."

Missouri shrank back, smiling as she placed her phone on the edge of the bathtub.

Xiao Bai blushed and finished eating the breakfast that Missouri had brought, with her head down.

Missouri, holding the wooden tray, bowed to Little White and then slowly left.

Little White, submerged in the repair fluid, stared blushing in the direction Missouri had gone.

The tall, curvaceous figure was slowly swallowed up by the surrounding white vapor and gradually disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Bai cupped her cheeks and felt the temperature of her face.

—It's terribly hot.

Perhaps because they've chatted so much, Missouri now really knows how to arouse Xiaobai's anticipation while simultaneously stirring up her sense of shame. In this respect, Xiaobai feels she could never beat Missouri in her entire life.

After thinking it over, Xiaobai secretly peeked out and looked at the phone placed on the edge of the bathtub.

She looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was around, she quickly swam to the edge of the bathtub and nervously picked up her phone.

Will there be any more photos of Missouri today?

With a mix of anticipation and nervousness, Xiaobai tapped on her phone screen.

However, Xiaobai's expectations were dashed the next second.

After tapping the screen, there was nothing Xiaobai had expected; her phone wallpaper was still just an ordinary landscape photo.

"Sigh...that's true."

Xiao Bai placed her phone back on the edge of the bathtub with a hint of disappointment, then looked up and muttered to herself.

Despite Missouri's constant enthusiasm for Shiro and her willingness to do anything with him in private, she is actually quite restrained with other ship girls. While she is not so conservative as to forbid anyone other than the admiral from seeing any part of her skin, she is certainly not the type to casually leave behind too many private photos.

Taking a close-up photo of Xiaobai like yesterday is actually quite rare in Missouri.

Especially since Nanxing saw yesterday's photos...

Missouri is even less likely to repeat the same trick today.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Looking at the phone she had thrown by the pool, she felt a sense of loss and loneliness.

at this time.

Beyond the steam, a crisp sound of footsteps rang out.

Wearing a bath towel and holding a bathtub, Nanxing raised one hand and gently waved away the mist in front of her eyes as she walked in from outside the white fog.

"Ah! Sister Nanxing! Have you finished eating?"

As soon as Xiaobai saw Nanxing, she smiled contentedly and waved her arm at her.

"Hmm..." Nanxing stood a short distance away, holding the bathtub. She nodded slightly to Xiaobai, then pointed to the shower stall not far away, "I'm going to take a shower..."

"it is good--"

Little White, drawing out the last syllable, looked expectantly from the edge of the bathtub.

Nanxing walked into the shower room, took off her towel, turned on the shower head, and simply washed her body with shower gel.

After rinsing, Nanxing wrapped her hair in a towel and, under Xiaobai's watchful gaze, walked to the edge of the repair pool and dipped her leg into the warm repair solution.

The water surface undulates.

Nanxing slowly sat down next to Xiaobai. She wiped the water droplets from her chin, parted her red lips slightly, and exhaled a long breath.

"Sister Nanxing, you're just... oh?"

Just as Xiaobai was about to speak to Nanxing, she was suddenly surprised to find a familiar necklace around Nanxing's neck.

Except for the pendant, the necklace was entirely made of fine, thread-like pieces and was white gold in color. Combined with Nanxing's already fair skin, Xiaobai hadn't noticed it until Nanxing sat down next to her. Only then did Xiaobai see the pendant, which looked like it had sunk into an abyss, on Nanxing's chest.

Isn't this the one I gave to Sister Nanxing before?

"This...?" Nanxing noticed Xiaobai's gaze fixed on her chest. She reached out a little shyly and picked up the pendant on her chest. "...This is...this was given to me by my ship girls this morning...they insisted that I wear this with you."

Nanxing looked down, her gaze gleaming with a warm light as she looked at the pendant.

The exquisite necklace, perfectly complementing the curves of the star, shimmers beautifully in the mist, its brilliance reflecting off the surrounding light.

"Do you... like it?" Nanxing put down the pendant and looked at Xiaobai somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at Nan Xing's necklace, remaining rooted to the spot for a few seconds.

Seeing that Xiaobai didn't speak, Nanxing's expression immediately became somewhat tense.

"If you... if you don't like it, I'll go pick it..." Nanxing quickly lowered her head, making a move to stand up from the repair pool.

"Sister Nanxing!!" Just then, Xiaobai suddenly raised her hand, interrupting Nanxing's words, and then jumped into Nanxing's arms again. "I love this so much!"

Chapter 3012, but not yet.

What would it feel like to have a beautiful, graceful, and fair-skinned older sister wearing the necklace you gave her, and then bathing together with her in complete honesty?

As someone who has experienced this firsthand, I can finally speak up.

The answer is... both visually and psychologically, they received almost limitless satisfaction.

This is truly a kind of happiness that is hard to describe.

Such behavior, like a ritual of recognition in some sense, is unforgettable.

Pfft! !

As Nanxing was about to leave the repair pool, Xiaobai tackled her, causing her to fall into the water. The two of them floated on the surface of the water, one above the other.

"Sister Nanxing, your ship girls are absolutely geniuses! How did they come up with such a brilliant idea?" Xiaobai hugged Nanxing, looking at the necklace pendant so close to her, her face full of smiles.

"...I...I don't know..." Nanxing subconsciously hugged Xiaobai, feeling Xiaobai's unusually excited emotions in her arms, and fell into deep thought for a moment, "...Do you like this necklace that was given to me?"

"Yes, I really like it." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

“…Then, I’ll give it back to you.”

"...Sister Nanxing, how did you come up with the idea to say something like that?"

"?"

"I like this necklace because I like seeing you wearing it..."

"..."

Nanxing stared blankly at the water, his mind momentarily drifting.

Nanxing wasn't particularly interested in jewelry, but because this necklace was a gift from Xiaobai, she cherished it far more than she would any other type of jewelry. She treasured it so much that she was terrified of losing it, which is why she didn't wear it but hid it away instead.

In fact, on the very first day after receiving it, Nanxing returned to her temporary garrison and immediately put the necklace away safely in a secure vault.

Only Nanxing and her ship girls knew the safe's combination.

Nanxing was prepared to keep this necklace for the rest of her life.

But today, after seeing Xiaobai's happy smile, Nanxing's plan to cherish the necklace for a lifetime gradually wavered.

So, she was actually this happy to see herself wearing this necklace?
