Elder brother's garrison

“You can probably say something about your ship girls… but it’s best not to say anything to people outside the naval base.” Nanxing thought for a moment and said to Xiaobai, “My situation is rather special… if possible… I don’t want to attract too much attention.”

Xiao Bai swayed slightly upon hearing Nan Xing's words and fell into Nan Xing's arms.

"Sister Nanxing is going to have a secret relationship with me... That's irresponsible..." Xiaobai dragged out the words, speaking loudly in a toneless voice, "Is Sister Nanxing planning to break up with me when she gets tired of me and then abandon me after using me..."

"..." Nanxing stroked Xiaobai's head, closed his eyes, and rubbed his chin against Xiaobai's forehead.

Xiao Bai quickly became obedient.

The two of them just hugged each other like that.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious again.

Nanxing is indeed not suitable to do anything too eye-catching right now... Firstly, her personality doesn't like to show her face, and secondly, her current ship girl status makes it inconvenient for her to always be the center of attention.

If Xiaobai's relationship with her really got out and was discovered by people outside both naval bases, Xiaobai could easily imagine how explosive the reaction from the admiral's circle would be.

That's it.

Again.

So be it, a secret relationship.

It's quite interesting.

Anyway, with Super Yamato around, Shiro can stick close to Nanxing anytime she wants. As for whether their relationship is exposed outside the naval base or not, it doesn't really affect their way of getting along.

"Do you want to go back to Chapter Eight?" Nanxing asked Xiaobai after hugging her for a while, letting go of her arms.

"Hmm? Hmm... Chapter Eight..." Xiaobai nestled in Nanxing's arms, feeling Nanxing's curvaceous and soft body, and sighed, "Sigh... I'm increasingly reluctant to be the guild leader of this Admiral's Guild... Chapter Eight... Indeed, I've finished everything here, and the teleportation anchor point is set up, so it's time to go back to work... But, since I've come all this way, I'll stay a few more days before going back."

As Xiaobai finished speaking, she got up from Nanxing's arms and grinned at her.

"Anyway, Miss Yingying said she'd cover for me." Xiaobai gave Nanxing a victory sign. "Going back so early is such a waste!"

"..." Nanxing gazed gently at Xiaobai and nodded. "What are you planning to do these next few days?"

"Hmm... of course I'll accompany Sister Nanxing to work... As for after work... this is my first time in Shenzhen, I can take some time to explore." Xiaobai counted on her fingers and added, "Oh right, there's one more very important thing I haven't done!"

"?" Nanxing tilted her head.

"I haven't visited my uncle and aunt yet." Xiaobai put down her hand and said seriously to Nanxing, "My uncle and aunt haven't come back since they left that day. It would be too impolite of me to leave Shenzhen without saying goodbye to them."

"Are you going to go find them?" Nanxing asked, listening to Xiaobai's words. "Usually, they won't be able to come home for several days at times like this."

"Huh? Can I go look for it?"

"Hmm... Mom and Dad should be in the hospital." Nanxing nodded, looking out the window. "It's the Shenzhen First People's Hospital..."

"Oh..." Xiaobai followed Nanxing's gaze out the window, her eyes taking in the bustling cityscape of Shenzhen in the distance. "So, you can see them just by going to the hospital..."

Xiao Bai gazed at the distant city, lost in thought.

Since Nanxing and I have this kind of relationship now... in a sense, Nanxing's parents are also Xiaobai's parents.

Should I call her mother-in-law... or mother-in-law?

Xiao Bai thought for a while.

This is the first time Xiaobai has developed this kind of relationship with a girl who has a human family.

Xiao Bai felt quite helpless.

Or maybe we should just call her Mom.

Although Nanxing probably wouldn't want him to tell her parents about his relationship with her, it was only a matter of time before they found out.

Therefore, my current performance is more important!

Xiao Bai didn't want Nan Xing's parents to find out about their relationship and then realize they were an impolite girl.

It's unclear whether my aunt and uncle support or oppose relationships between girls...

But in any case, I need to raise my favorability rating a bit more...

The favorability rating with the uncles and aunts...

Based on last night's performance, it seems to be quite high.

But this is quite high, especially for my daughter's friends. If it's for my daughter's girlfriend... Xiaobai isn't sure if it's high enough for her right now.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly felt a little stifled. She pouted and gave Nanxing a rather resentful look.

That night, it was Sister Nanxing who made the first move to seduce me, and now she's won me over. Although my complete lack of resistance played a part in it, afterwards, she's doing just fine, now quietly enjoying her leisurely life as an admiral, while I, the one she's won over, have to run around dealing with mother-in-law relationships, worrying about this and that...

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable.

"Sister Nanxing, I need to go to the hospital," Xiaobai said to Nanxing.

"Are you going to find them?" Nanxing asked.

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

“Alright…” Nanxing thought for a while and said to Xiaobai, “Mom and Dad work very hard at the hospital, and they can only see people during their rest time, so try not to disturb their rest too much.”

"I'll remember...wait, something's not right." Xiaobai suddenly looked at Nanxing, "Sister Nanxing, aren't you taking me to the hospital?"

“There’s work at the naval base…” Nanxing lowered her head, fiddling with her hands on her thighs, “I won’t go.”

"Hasn't the work already been finished?"

"There's a possibility that a new one will come."

"It's okay, I'll do it with you."

“I…have other plans for this afternoon,” Nanxing said again.

"What's the plan?"

“…Bedroom…” Nanxing carefully looked up at the third bedroom in the house, “I want to take some time to furnish your bedroom and make it more comfortable.”

"……"noob.

Xiao Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

But Nanxing still appeared gentle and weak, yet exceptionally determined.

It seems like there's no way to persuade them otherwise.

Okay... so it seems... I'll have to go see Nanxing's parents by myself.

Xiaobai sighed, his gaze sweeping over Chaodahe, who was fast asleep on the sofa.

Should I bring a super-sized Yamato this time...?

Ok……

Xiao Bai pondered, his gaze sweeping over the top and bottom of the super-sized building.

Forget it.

The uncle and aunt seem to be very perceptive people. If they find out later that their daughter was rescued by them and start to recall their own image, they might discover that the man next to them has a close relationship with them. In that case, the situation will become increasingly complicated.

Although I feel a little bad for Super Yamato, Shiro will go out alone this time.

It's just a matter of saying hello and exchanging some parting pleasantries; it shouldn't take too long.

If all goes well, I should be back in a few hours.

"Then, Sister Nanxing, I'll set off now and come back as soon as possible," Xiaobai said to Nanxing after finishing her tea.

"Okay, have a safe trip." Nanxing sat down at the coffee table and waved to Xiaobai.

After Xiaobai asked Nanxing for the hospital's exact location and how to contact her parents, she got up and left Nanxing's house.

On the way out of Nanxing Naval Base, the ship girls' smiles turned to astonishment when they saw Xiaobai walking alone.

"Eh? Admiral Lu Lin?"

"Admiral Lu Lin, is that you?"

"Admiral Lu Lin, why are you out alone? Where are you going?"

"Didn't our admiral accompany you?"

"Oh dear... Could it be that you, Admiral, had a fight with Admiral Lu Lin?"

"No, no... I'm counting on this pair of kowtowing..."

The ship girls gathered around with worried expressions and quickly offered their condolences to Xiaobai.

"Admiral Lu Lin, um... although I don't know the situation, if my admiral has a conflict with you, you... you must forgive her!"

"Yeah, yeah, my admiral really likes you!"

"They were getting along really well at noon today!"

"Please don't leave!"

Faced with the ship girls' concern, eagerness, and even pitiful expressions as if they had witnessed the end of the world, Xiaobai could only manage a wry smile.

"I'm fine. I just went out for a walk. I didn't argue with Nanxing-neechan. We're on good terms. Nanxing-neechan just had to leave the naval base because of work..."

Xiaobai explained to the ship girls with a smile.

After hearing what Xiaobai said, the ship girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really, really?"

"Really, really." Xiaobai nodded, flashing a bright smile at the ship girls. "Our bond is unbreakable."

Xiaobai and Nanxing's relationship... is indeed as good as it gets.

Chapter 3367 Talent Scout

After leaving Nanxing Garrison, Xiaobai walked along the highway towards the city center of Shenzhen.

The last time Xiaobai went to downtown Shenzhen was last night when she went with Nanxing to visit her parents. It was nighttime then.

It's daytime now, and the vibrancy and prosperity of Shenzhen far surpass what it experiences at night.

After entering the city center, Xiaobai saw countless high-rise buildings. As far as the eye could see, there were towering overpasses and winding motorcycle tracks. On the road, luxury cars whose names he didn't know roared as they sped by, their black, orange-yellow, and bright red paint gleaming exquisitely in the sunlight, like splashes of paint on this steel city.

Xiao Bai followed the pedestrians and waited for the traffic light, quietly watching the sports cars whizz by.

Perhaps because Xiaobai had been traveling between various garrison towns and chapter sea areas for the past two years, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity as she looked at the peaceful, bustling, and fashionable urban scene around her.

It's really rare...

Xiao Bai felt this way.

After waiting for about half a minute, the green light on the main traffic artery turned on.

Cars lined up on both sides of the road, and smartly dressed urban women picked up their bags and walked toward the zebra crossing.

Xiaobai was about to walk with the pedestrians when suddenly, a voice called out from behind her.

"Excuse me, miss, may I bother you for a moment?"

The voice appeared abruptly, but was extremely polite and respectful.

Xiao Bai stopped and looked back.

The person who called out to Xiaobai was a young man dressed in a hip-hop style. He had a kind smile on his face, and when Xiaobai turned to look at him, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and his smile seemed to become even brighter and more enthusiastic.

"Excuse me...who are you?"

Xiao Bai looked at the man's face and asked with some curiosity.

Xiao Bai had no memory of this man; he was probably a stranger.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm a talent scout from Wanhe Culture Media Co., Ltd." The man pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xiaobai with a smile. "Miss, may I ask your name?"

"A talent scout?" Xiaobai was taken aback. She subconsciously looked at the business card the man handed her, and then it dawned on her.

Oh……

Xiaobai understood.

It's a talent scout... a profession that helps companies that train actors to discover promising young talents from the general public.

As for Wanhe Media...

Xiao Bai recalled that when she worked as a celebrity agent in Yuncheng, she had accumulated some industry experience.

She vaguely remembered this production team; it seemed to be quite large and well-known in the industry, but compared to the big directors she had worked with back then, it was just average.
