Elder brother's garrison

Missouri's ability to make friends...

It's really scary!

That night, the darkness was thick.

The moonlight, accompanied by the stars, illuminates the night, making it bright and clear.

Xiao Bai and his two companions did not return to the temporary garrison.

Nanxing set up a spring mattress next to her bed, combining it with her spacious double bed to create a large bed big enough for four people to lie down in.

The four of them lay on the bed, chatting amongst themselves, occasionally playing on their phones, turning over and playfully teasing each other, and tossing and turning in bed.

Xiaobai did nothing to Nanxing that night.

The four of them, like true best friends, chatted, hugged, embraced, and held hands, and gradually fell asleep contentedly.

After the lights were turned off, Xiaobai vaguely felt someone crawl up to her side, making rustling noises. The next moment, a full body pressed down on her and secretly kissed her lips.

Is it Missouri?

Is it Supermax?

Or is it Nanxing?

Xiaobai wanted to awaken her memories to identify the person who kissed her, but after thinking about it, she chose to stop her brain from working.

Sometimes, it's good not to guess.

Chapter 3404 Another vacation?

The next morning, Xiaobai arrived at the Admiral's Guild on time for work.

The Admiral's Guild opens at 8:00 AM, but the staff in each position must be in place before 6:00 AM.

When Xiaobai entered the main gate of the Admiral's Guild, he found the hall empty. A tall, slender woman with dark circles under her eyes was walking towards him, carrying a stack of documents. She was unsteady on her feet and swaying as she approached Xiaobai.

It seems this working woman didn't sleep well last night.

Xiao Bai stopped and blinked.

"Miss Yingying? So early." Xiaobai called out to the person in front of her.

"...Huh?" Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, Luo Yingying's previously hazy face suddenly froze. Then, her shoulders trembled, and she quickly clutched the documents in her arms, looking towards the door. After seeing Xiaobai's figure, Luo Yingying swallowed hard. "President? This, so early...you're here already?"

"Yes, Miss Yingying, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Xiaobai nodded, walked up to Luo Yingying, and looked at the obvious dark circles under Luo Yingying's eyes on her fair face, as well as the heavy documents in her arms, with some surprise.

what……

Miss Yingying has quite a lot of documents in her arms.

Holding so many documents in my arms, they must be quite heavy. I never expected that Miss Yingying, who looks so delicate, would be so strong.

She seemed to carry those documents without any effort.

Is she also a ship girl?

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai's eyes suddenly filled with a sense of exploration, and he subconsciously searched Luo Yingying's body.

Luo Yingying also clearly felt Xiaobai's gaze become sharp, so she quickly took two steps back and awkwardly hugged the documents in her arms.

"Yes, President, I...I'm fine...I just had a little insomnia last night..."

"Um...do you need any help?" Xiaobai asked, looking at the documents in Luo Yingying's arms.

"No, no, no, I can handle all of this by myself, really, really..." Luo Yingying quickly shook her head, "President, I've already put today's work documents in your president's office, and I've also finalized yesterday's renovation plan for the president's hall. A dedicated renovation team will be coming over at noon today..."

"Oh, oh, oh, you've really worked hard, Miss Yingying." Xiaobai's face immediately lit up with a smile upon hearing this. "You've arranged things so well, it's so nice to have you by my side."

"Uh... thank you for the compliment..." Luo Yingying quickly lowered her head, "It's just what I should do..."

Luo Yingying really didn't think she had done anything particularly good... All she did was try to minimize her meetings with Xiaobai.

It's that simple.

Xiao Bai smiled and nodded at Luo Yingying. She stepped into the elevator and disappeared into the lobby.

Luo Yingying hugged the documents and looked in the direction where Xiaobai had disappeared, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger...

Luo Yingying put the documents aside, rubbed her forehead, and felt a little dizzy.

In fact, the Admiral's Guild had a lot of work, but this workload was not a problem for Luo Yingying. After all, Luo Yingying had once fought her way out of the Inland Governor's Office, which was known as a hell of documents. She could not be said to be very good at handling business, but she was at least not too bad.

However... the reason why Luo Yingying was in such a bad state was not work, but her mindset.

Ever since Xiaobai returned to work at the Admiral's Guild, Luo Yingying felt like she had returned to that state of worrying unnecessarily, losing her appetite, and even having nightmares.

Even though Xiaobai's business skills could perfectly mobilize the entire Admiral Guild, managing everything in an orderly manner, and even making Luo Yingying's workload much lighter than before, Luo Yingying still missed the days when Xiaobai went out to play.

The thought of having to continue spending time with Admiral Lu Lin for who knows how long made Luo Yingying feel that her future was quite bleak.

Speaking of which, wasn't Admiral Lu Lin looking at me with a scrutinizing gaze just now?

Did she discover that I was disguised...?

Sigh... how long can this disguise last until Admiral Lu Lin...?

Luo sighed softly.

"Admiral Lu Lin... you might as well just keep going out..."

Luo Yingying muttered to herself.

……

For Xiaobai, the elevator had already reached the rooftop of the Admiral's Guild. The elevator doors opened, and Xiaobai walked into the Guild Hall.

On the president's desk in the lobby, there was already a huge pile of documents, as impressive as a small mountain.

The document placed at the top of the list was the lobby renovation proposal. Xiao Bai walked to the desk, glanced at the number of documents for the day, then opened the renovation proposal and scanned it a few times before nodding in satisfaction.

Xiaobai didn't sit down to work on the documents right away. After putting down the proposal, she walked to the full-length mirror, unbuttoned her collar, and looked at herself in the mirror.

In the mirror, Xiaobai's collar slowly came undone.

There were several lingering lip marks on her fair collarbone.

Some of these lip marks are thin and long, while others are full and plump. The styles do not belong to one person. The bruises on the original lip marks have healed completely, leaving only faint traces of lipstick and lip gloss.

"Ah...it's not clean yet."

Xiao Bai picked up a tissue from beside her desk and wiped the lipstick off her collarbone. Then, blushing, she tied her collar and sat back down at her desk.

Office work time is enjoyable but short.

Two hours later, the Admiral's Guild officially opened its doors.

The elevator doors in the president's lobby opened, and Luo Yingying walked in carrying a brand-new stack of documents. She lowered her head and went to Xiaobai's desk.

"President, this is the supplementary document... This is probably the last batch for today," Luo Yingying said softly, putting down the document.

"Okay, put it here." Xiaobai, who was playing on her phone, smiled and looked up, then patted the documents that had already been processed. "Miss Yingying, please take these away. I've finished them."

"..." Luo Yingying stared blankly at the processed documents, but after a few seconds of daze, she still walked forward and picked up all the processed documents. "Okay."

Luo Yingying held the documents and prepared to leave.

But Xiaobai glanced at the new documents beside her, put down her phone, and suddenly spoke to Luo Yingying's retreating figure.

"Miss Yingying, I've reviewed your renovation plan, and I'm very satisfied."

"..." Luo Yingying didn't even stop walking away, she quickly replied, "I'm glad the president is satisfied..."

"How long until the renovation team arrives?"

"Ah..." Luo Yingying stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Xiaobai, thought for a moment, and said, "As for the renovation team... they'll be here in about an hour. Does the chairman have any last-minute requests?"

"No, not at all." Xiaobai shook her head and asked Luo Yingying, "But renovations usually take quite a long time, right?"

"Hmm... The president's hall is quite large. According to the process in the proposal, even if it is expedited, it will take at least seven days to ensure quality."

"In that case, I won't be able to stay in the lobby for the next seven days," Xiaobai sighed. "It'll be quite noisy during the renovation... I'll have to rent a room downstairs temporarily..."

"The renovation will definitely be very noisy!!!" As soon as Luo Yingying heard that Xiaobai wanted to rent a room, she turned around almost reflexively and shouted at Xiaobai, "President Lu Lin! The renovation will definitely be very noisy, to the point that you will not be able to work at all!"

what?

Admiral Lu Lin wants to rent a room downstairs?

This kind of thing!

Absolutely not!

Luo Yingying is now trying every possible way to reduce her contact with Xiaobai. Xiaobai currently lives on the top floor of the guild, and the two rarely interact outside of work-related exchanges, which Luo Yingying can barely accept. But if Xiaobai rents a room downstairs, who knows when she might go down for a stroll, wouldn't that drastically increase the danger to herself and Shenying?

No!

No matter what I do, it won't work!

For my own safety, I must nip this idea of ​​Admiral Lu Lin in the bud!

It would be better for her to live on the top floor!

"Huh?!" Xiaobai was stunned by Luo Yingying's sudden outburst. She opened her mouth slightly, somewhat surprised, "Uh... then, then I'll rent a room downstairs..."

Da da da da da!

Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Luo Yingying rushed to Xiaobai's side in a few quick steps.

"Admiral Lu Lin, the renovation team will be making so much noise that it will disturb several floors!"

"Huh? Is it that serious? Well... in that case, let's forget about the renovation..."

"No, no, no! As the guild leader, how can you not renovate the hall? You'll be living here from now on!" Luo Yingying quickly added when she heard Xiaobai was about to give up on the renovation. "As the guild leader, you are the face of our guild. Showing your face too often will affect your prestige, and the luxury of your residence is also related to the reputation of our Admiral Guild! If the guild leaders of other chapters and seas knew that you lived in such an empty hall, they would look down on us!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Xiaobai was speechless.

"Ah..." Luo Ying lowered her head and panted. After thinking for a while, she tentatively said to Xiao Bai, "President Lu Lin... how about... you take another week or two off?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned. She pointed at herself and said, "I'm taking leave? That's not a good idea... I just got back a day ago."

“What’s wrong with that? Now, who in the Admiral’s Guild wouldn’t support your decision?” Luo Yingying took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, “Besides, this is also a preparation for the reputation of our Admiral’s Guild. As the top-tier guild, it’s already too late for us to have even started renovating the Guild Hall. Everything in the Eighth Chapter Sea is in good order and developing in a positive direction, so renovating the Guild Hall is our top priority! When you’re not here, Guild Leader Lu Lin, I will also help you handle every matter of the guild!”

"That's so embarrassing..."

"My heart is dedicated to the Admiral's Guild, and dedicating myself to it is my lifelong wish!" Luo Ying patted her chest repeatedly. "Admiral Lu Lin, please rest assured and enjoy your vacation!"

Chapter 3405 New Objective: 100% Exploration of the Entire Map

Luo Yingying's enthusiasm left Xiaobai nodding in response without thinking.

By the time Xiaobai realized what was happening, she had already written a new leave request and handed it to Luo Yingying, who looked like she was experiencing the first stirrings of love.

"President Lu Lin, then I'll accept your leave slip! Please enjoy your vacation!" Luo Yingying beamed, as if Xiao Bai's leave was some good thing for her. Holding Xiao Bai's leave slip, she bowed happily, skipped around, humming a cheerful tune, and quickly left with the documents in her arms. "President Lu Lin! The leave slip is effective from now on! I'll go deal with the documents now—"

The elevator door opens.

The elevator doors closed.

Luo Yingying's figure disappeared at the elevator entrance.

Xiao Bai sat behind his desk, looking in the direction where Luo Yingying had disappeared, then glanced at the remaining documents on the desk and scratched his head.

Why does it feel like... Miss Yingying is really looking forward to her vacation?

Is it an illusion?

But the expression on her face just now seemed to indicate that she was genuinely happy.

Ok……

This is...

Xiao Bai rubbed his chin, looking helpless.

Taking a vacation... is that a good thing for Miss Yingying? When I'm around, I can actually reduce her workload a lot.

Hiss... Could it be that she's going to embezzle?

Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly became alert.

But the next second, Xiaobai's furrowed brows relaxed, and she shook her head.

No, no, no...
