Elder brother's garrison

Jinan started slapping the sofa cushions, admitting defeat, and his stammering grew louder and louder.

Then, as the ship girls watched Jinan finally lose her strength, her eyelids rolled back, her hands fell limply, and she collapsed into Changchun's arms, losing consciousness.

"..." The ship girls looked at Changchun and subconsciously swallowed.

"Huh...huh..."

Changchun slowly released Jinan, head bowed, panting.

Jinan slumped weakly onto the sofa, remaining silent except for pointing ahead with her finger.

"..." The ship girls looked at each other, then cautiously asked Changchun, "...Changchun...are you alright?"

“Jinan, Jinan, she…she was just saying it casually!! Her words, no, can’t be taken seriously…” Changchun immediately looked up at the crowd, trying to explain with considerable trembling, “I…I didn’t…”

"Ah...we understand,we understand..."

The ship girls immediately responded.

Only after Changchun's expression finally calmed down did the ship girls breathe a slight sigh of relief.

suddenly.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the ship girls seemed to sense something and looked up in one direction.

Wherever the ship girls' gazes fell, Shiro was smiling and waving as she walked towards them.

"Everyone's here—" Xiaobai called out as she walked.

"Ah, Admiral..." The ship girls had just shown a surprised expression when they turned their heads to look at Changchun as if they remembered something.

Chapter 3807 Taking a Walk in Changchun

The timing of Xiaobai's appearance seems a bit too crucial.

The ship girls present secretly watched Changchun, who, ever since Xiaobai appeared, was hissing and spitting out words like a steaming kettle, her mouth opening and closing erratically, her hands waving haphazardly in the air. They all put away their pity and greeted Xiaobai in the distance.

"Admiral! You've arrived."

"Good morning, Admiral!"

"Admiral, have you eaten yet?"

The ship girls' enthusiastic greetings led Xiaobai to them.

"Good morning, everyone." Xiaobai said with a smile, her hands behind her back. "What were you all talking about just now? It was so lively. I could hear your voices from far away."

"Uh... well..." Everyone looked at Changchun, and the ship girls began to scratch their heads.

Gearing glanced at the ship girls around her, all of whom seemed to understand each other perfectly in silence. She blinked, a little confused, but still turned to Shiro and said, "Admiral, actually, Jinan was just telling us that Changchun likes you the most..."

Thump. Thump. Boom!

The ship girls present immediately felt a jolt in their hearts.

Before Keeling could finish speaking, Baltimore, sitting next to her, quickly covered her mouth.

“Keeling, shh, Keeling, shh…” Baltimore moved closer to Keeling and quickly raised his hand to make him be quiet.

"Huh??!" Killin stared wide-eyed at Baltimore in bewilderment.

"Hmm? So you were talking about me? What did you talk about?" Xiaobai looked at everyone with some curiosity after hearing Jilin's words, then stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Tell me about it."

"..."

The ship girls present looked awkwardly at the smiling Xiaobai, and for a moment felt quite pressured.

Everyone silently looked at Changchun, and at Jinan, who lay beside Changchun, his life hanging in the balance.

When it comes to matters concerning the admiral, especially in front of him, how could they dare to speak up?

After a few seconds of silence, the scene fell silent.

at last.

Pompeii took a deep breath and spoke to Little White.

"Admiral, you've come to the modification factory so early today... are you here to visit the ship girls who are undergoing modifications?"

"Ah, yes." As expected, Xiaobai's attention was diverted by Pompeii's words. She looked at Pompeii with a very interested expression. "Speaking of which, I don't seem to see any of the ship girls who were supposed to undergo modification yesterday. Alaska, Guam, Kiat, Garibaldi, Chicago, and Anshan, aren't they here?"

"Hey! If the Admiral is looking for those six, they're currently undergoing pre-modification medical examinations in Dr. Yubari's lab." The ship girls breathed a sigh of relief as the conversation finally started to steer in a normal direction, and spoke to Shiro.

"Oh...I see. When will their medical examinations be finished?"

"I don't know... But Dr. Yubari said it will probably take a long time. The ship girls' physical examination will also test the adaptability of many ship equipment components..." The ship girls chatted, and all looked at Gearing, whose mouth was covered. "Gearing, you are one of the few ship girls here who have undergone modification. Do you have any impressions of her?"

"Mmm..." Baltimore finally released the hand covering Keeling's mouth, and Keeling breathed a sigh of relief. She cautiously looked around at the people, then nodded to everyone, "Hmm... Yes, yes... The pre-modification physical examination involves checking a lot of things... In order to determine the direction of the subsequent modification, it usually takes a whole day to check."

"So, it seems we won't be seeing them today," Xiaobai said.

"Dr. Yubari probably won't see this either. She was doing all the work of designing and modifying six ship girls all by herself, which must have been exhausting."

"Um……"

The ship girls chatted amongst themselves, and Xiaobai, hearing this, glanced regretfully at the interior of the modification factory.

"Hey Admiral, how's work going? It's rare for you to come all this way, how about playing a game of Ludo with us?" The ship girls immediately extended an invitation to Shiro.

"Hmm... I've finished my work, so we can definitely play a game." Xiaobai looked at the ship girls' enthusiastic invitation, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the admiral's job is to accompany the ship girls...

Although Xiaobai initially came to the modification factory just to check on the ship girls who underwent modifications yesterday, things progressed smoothly all the way here, so it wasn't a problem for her to spend some time with the ship girls she was looking after.

Upon hearing that Xiaobai could play with them, the ship girls immediately cheered.

Xiaobai was warmly led to the sofa by the ship girls and sat between Changchun and Jinan.

"Hey? Changchun, your face is very red." Xiaobai said to Changchun as she sat down next to her.

"Ah...is that so..." Changchun cupped her cheeks, her bright eyes turning away awkwardly, her blush growing even hotter.

Xiaobai looked at Changchun, and her other hand subconsciously went to Jinan on the other side, but found that Jinan suddenly did not react at all.

Xiao Bai turned to look at Jinan and gently pushed it, but there was still no response.

"Huh? Jinan has fallen asleep?" Xiaobai said.

"Hahaha, young people are so good, they fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow!" The ship girls immediately smiled ingratiatingly. They didn't let Xiaobai continue to check the status of Jinan, and directly brought the flying chessboard in front of Xiaobai. "Admiral, let's play chess!"

"Hmm..." Xiaobai looked around at the ship girls, then finally focused her gaze on the chessboard and nodded.

I'm a beginner at Ludo... but I know a little bit about it.

This game of Ludo can be distributed among the several "families" present. Alaska and Guam are not present, so the pieces will be played by the three colors: Gearing from the Gearing class, Pompeii from Garibaldi's side, and Baltimore. As for Xiaobai's pieces... it seems that Changchun played before Xiaobai arrived, but now Changchun doesn't seem to be interested in playing chess, so it's perfect for Xiaobai to take over.

Ludo is not a very difficult game; it's mostly about luck and rarely requires much strategic thinking.

Xiaobai also played a few rounds of Ludo with the ship girls. Her rankings in these games were mixed, but since she was playing Ludo, winning or losing wasn't really that important. Instead, she and the ship girls could chat, joke, and talk about their daily lives while playing, which made the time pass in a leisurely and pleasant way.

After a few simple rounds of Ludo, while the ship girls were tidying up the board and placing new pieces, Xiaobai began to investigate Jinan, who was lying motionless on the sofa.

The ship girls just said that Jinan was sleeping... but in my memory, although Jinan's sleeping posture has never been very particular, it doesn't seem like this.

So Xiaobai reached out and poked Jinan's butt, but Jinan didn't react at all.

Xiao Bai, slightly curious, pinched her chin and thought for a while. She placed her hands on Jinan's hips, then grabbed her waist and turned her body over.

Although Jinan's body is well-developed, it is still very light, like a perfectly fried, soft, and fragrant pancake.

wow——

After a brief, sharp scraping sound, Jinan turned towards the sky.

"—Hiss!!" Then, as if she had come back to life, Jinan suddenly opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and quickly sat up from the sofa.

With a whoosh, her pink hair flew up and then fell back down as if it had stood on end.

"Huh? So Jinan, you really were sleeping."

Xiao Bai looked at the awakening Jinan with some surprise.

"Uh... I think I just saw the Bridge of Helplessness..." Jinan muttered to herself, still shaken, clutching her neck. She looked up at Xiaobai, who was right in front of her, and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise. "Hey! Comrade Admiral!"

"Good morning!" Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Good morning, Admiral!" Jinan jumped into Xiaobai's arms, hugging him and nuzzling his cheek. "Mwah! Mwah!"

"Jinan, it's so itchy." Xiaobai said with a smile, rubbing Jinan's hair.

"Admiral, Changchun and I missed you so much yesterday—" Jinan said with a smile, holding Xiaobai's head. "Did you miss us yesterday, Admiral?"

"Think about it."

"Really, let me sniff..." Jinan, like a little fox, lay on Xiaobai's body, closed her eyes, and sniffed. Then she widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Wow! The Admiral smells so much like the ship girl sisters!"

“Yeah, after all, she lives in the same house with so many ship girls…” Xiaobai smiled at Jinan, gently covered Jinan’s nose with her hand, and then turned to look at Changchun on the other side, “Changchun, if Anshan doesn’t come out these next few days, you should take some time to go home and visit her. I’m waiting for you at home.”

"Ah... um..." Changchun nodded, her face flushed. She lowered her head, playing with her fingers, her head steaming. "Okay... okay... Admiral..."

The ship girls looked at each other, then at Xiaobai and Changchun. They sighed and put away the Flying Chess board they had set up.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Want to play a different game?" Xiaobai asked the ship girls.

"Sigh, Admiral, since those people who are undergoing modification medical examinations won't be out for a while anyway, why don't you go out with Changchun for a stroll and get some fresh air?" the ship girls said helplessly.

"Now?"

"Yes, let's take Changchun out for some fresh air..."

The ship girls looked at Changchun and spoke, their voices filled with complex emotions.

Since it's a rare occasion for the admiral to visit, the ship girls definitely want to spend more time with him.

It's just...

Seeing Changchun like this, the ship girls felt that after what had just happened, if Changchun stayed here in front of everyone any longer, her brain would probably get suffocated...

Chapter 3808 The Gatekeeper and the Model Worker Prisoner

Although it's not entirely clear why the ship girls suddenly urged me to go for a walk with Changchun... well, Xiaobai really had no reason to refuse.

After all, who would mind going out for a walk and chatting with their beloved wedding ship?

So, under the watchful eyes of the ship girls, Xiaobai and Changchun greeted everyone and left the modification factory.

As the two gradually moved away from the factory undergoing renovation, the situation in Changchun improved significantly.

She held her chest and kept breathing throughout the journey, and her rosy cheeks finally returned to their snow-white and serene state. The heat that had been emanating from her head ever since she met Xiaobai gradually subsided.

Xiao Bai stared at Changchun with some curiosity.

"Changchun, you seem a bit strange today," Xiaobai reminded her.

"Ah...yes..." Changchun patted his chest, looking at Xiaobai's other side with a hint of resentment, "That's right...Admiral...who's to blame for this..."

Xiaobai paused for a moment, then followed Changchun's gaze to the other side of her body.

On Xiaobai's other side, Jinan was whistling and skipping along beside the two, holding the back of her head. When she noticed that Xiaobai and Changchun were looking at her, she immediately gave them a grin.

"They told Changchun and me to come out for a walk and get some fresh air, and you ended up coming along too?" Xiaobai said to Jinan with a smile.

"Admiral, Changchun and I are family. How can you leave me behind when you take Changchun away!" Jinan said, immediately sticking to Xiaobai's side, grabbing Xiaobai's sleeve and hopping and rubbing against Xiaobai's body, saying, "Admiral, I'll be very obedient, I definitely won't disturb your date with Changchun, please take me with you!"

After Jinan finished speaking, he raised Xiaobai's hand, placed it on his hair, and nudged it upwards with his little head.

Xiao Bai casually touched Jinan's hair and turned his head to look at Changchun.

"Changchun, what's your opinion?"

"Admiral, having more people won't be a problem," Changchun said.

“Since Changchun has said so…” Xiaobai said to Jinan with a slight smile, “Then let’s go together.”

"Yay! Thank you, Admiral! Thank you, Sister Changchun!"

"Don't say anything yet." Xiaobai pushed Jinan's head to the other side and continued to ask Changchun, "Where were we? We were talking about how you weren't feeling well today. Could it be related to Jinan?"

"Ah... this is..." Changchun covered her mouth and thought for a while. She looked at Xiaobai and Jinan for a while, her expression fluctuating. Finally, she sighed in a moment of hesitation, "... Forget it, Admiral. Anyway, we've all come out for some fresh air. That's all in the past."

"Oh... okay." Xiaobai looked at Changchun, then pressed the other side of Jinan's head down. "Hmm... Changchun, is there anywhere you want to go now?"

"Me?" Changchun pointed to himself.

“Yeah… Anshan probably won’t be able to come out today, so we’ll have a lot of time together.” Xiaobai smiled at Changchun. “It would be good to take advantage of this free time to think about where to go and make some travel plans.”

“Oh… if I’m with the Admiral, we can go anywhere…” Changchun answered instinctively after hearing Xiaobai’s words, but soon her eyes lit up and she stopped in her tracks. “Ah… right.”
