Elder brother's garrison

It's enough that he's not a bad person.

Thinking this, Xiao Bai turned around and checked on Luo Lian's condition while she was sleeping.

He reached out and gently pried open Luo Lian's eyelids.

Luo Lian's eyes rolled upwards.

Yes, I'm sleeping soundly.

Xiao Bai withdrew her hand, covered Luo Lian with the blanket, changed into her outdoor clothes, and opened the door.

As night fell, the surroundings weren't quite dark yet under the moonlight, and the courtyard was dimly lit. On the steps in front of Xiaobai's room, Saratoga and Tirpitz lay there, embracing each other, their four white legs intertwined, fast asleep.

—I forgot about those two.

Little White carried Saratoga and Tirpitz back to bed, then closed the door and hurried towards the Admiral's Guild.

The Admiral's Guild gets off work relatively early, but Er Gou, the guild leader, and a small number of staff members stay at the Admiral's Guild at night and do not leave.

Xiao Bai is going to ask President Er Gou about that photo.

On the way, before Xiaobai even reached the Admiral's Guild, he saw the lights on inside the guild at the other end of the dark street.

As the night deepened, the Admiral's Guild, clad in golden armor, shone quietly like an empty city that never sleeps.

Tonight, the Admiral's Guild is brightly lit, and the surrounding shopkeepers dare not speak out against their anger.

The Admiral's Guild's doors were wide open, unguarded, seemingly unafraid of thieves, ostentatiously open, allowing a clear view from the outside of the empty, golden hall inside.

Little White touched the wall and curiously entered the Admiral's Guild.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the hall.

"Um...Excuse me, is anyone here?"

Little White tried calling out. No one answered; the sound echoed through the walls, reverberating in the quiet Golden City.

That sounds rather uncomfortable.

Xiao Bai gave up the idea of ​​continuing to shout. She held onto the handrail and went up to the second floor, then to the third floor, where the room was empty. Xiao Bai clenched her hands and carefully walked to the office of Chairman Er Gou.

Raise your hand and knock on the door.

With a creak, the unlocked door was knocked open by Xiaobai's hand.

Xiao Bai pushed open the door and peeked inside.

President Er Gou's office was tidy and organized. The messy bed in the corner had been folded into neat squares, the desk covered in scraps of paper was now clean, the supplementary books that were rarely used had disappeared from the desk, and even the wooden floor had been carefully mopped. A faint scent of perfume lingered in the air.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the empty office.

Despite the force of Xiaobai's knocking, the office door continued to slowly rotate inward.

It resembles a heavy millstone.

Squeak————

Chapter 867 An Extremely Useful Tool

At night, the colored seawater lapped against the shore layer by layer from the other side of the sea.

As the sand was wet, the chilling air was also brought into the shore.

Chairman Er Gou, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood quietly on the shore, his eyes wide open, silently gazing at the other side of the sea.

A pair of long, white legs crossed on the sand, like two pieces of natural white jade, reflecting a hazy light under the moonlight.

The icy seawater lapped against the ankles of Er Gou, covering her feet, and her shell-like toenails gleamed coldly in the water.

"call--"

The red dot of the cigarette butt flickered in the darkness, the woman sighed, and white smoke rose.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a fleeting sense of desolation seemed to flicker in those emotionless golden eyes.

However, the misty scene didn't last long before it was shattered by the cold air brought in by the sea. Chairman Er Gou's eyes slanted to one side before slowly closing as his eyelashes trembled.

"President Sister!"

In the distance, a little rabbit, speaking in human language, hopped and skipped toward him in the darkness.

The little rabbit walked step by step into the moonlight, only to discover that it was actually a girl.

"Hey~ Little White, what are you doing in such a dangerous place so late at night?" Guild Master Er Gou turned around, squinted at Little White, and called out with a smile, "If you get caught by the Deep Sea Ship, they'll take you back and eat you."

Xiao Bai waved as he ran to President Er Gou's side, grinning foolishly at her.

"Isn't the student council president in danger too?"

"I'm fine. I'm an old woman, my skin is too old, my flesh isn't tasty." President Er Gou curled his lips. "Little Bai's delicate skin and tender flesh are the ones that taste good."

Xiao Bai pouted and looked down at Er Gou's thigh a few times.

President Er Gou's pants were still on the beach behind him, revealing two long, well-shaped legs. At a glance, his firm legs were white and tender, without any signs of sagging or any small wounds.

If an older woman really has legs that even high school girls would envy, then being an older woman is pretty good.

"President Sister, you smoke too?" Xiaobai asked softly.

"...We're all socialites, we need to make a living." President Er Gou shrugged. "It's a skill. After all, if your boss offers you a cigarette and you don't take it, nobody cares if you can smoke or not. Not taking it means you're not giving him face."

"...Hey, Guild Master, the lights are on at the Admiral's Guild. Everyone inside is gone."

"Yes, I turned on the lights. As for the people, no one is working overtime today; they've all gone back to their accommodations."

"...Electricity is expensive." Xiaobai said to President Ergou with a frown.

"...Sorry, I've been making some extra money lately and I've gotten a little cocky." After sincerely apologizing, President Er Gou smiled at Xiao Bai.

With her red lips and white teeth, she's quite pretty.

"How did Little White know I was here?"

"I always felt this place was a good place to show off, so I came here to look for it, and I didn't expect to actually find it."

"..." President Er Gou gazed at the sea and took a sad drag on his cigarette.

"President Sister," Xiaobai called out to President Ergou, then rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a photo. "Do you remember the photo you gave me before?"

"what happened?"

Xiao Bai handed the photo with the black and white background to President Er Gou: "President, do you know this bridesmaid?"

President Er Gou glanced at Xiao Bai's photo and nodded with a smile.

"Oh, her."

"So you really do know her?!"

"She was my bridesmaid, the one who led me onto the stage. How could I be so heartless as to forget her?" President Er Gou shook his head. "She was your brother's admiral in the same class. Her name was..."

"Call?"

"..." President Er Gou pondered.

The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"...President Sister, have you...forgotten her name?"

"Little Bai, you have to understand. Sometimes, even if you're very familiar with someone, if you haven't called their name for several years, you'll always get stuck if you suddenly have to think of it." President Er Gou turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao Bai looked helplessly at President Er Gou.

He even forgot his own bridesmaid's name; President Er Gou is truly heartless.

"Anyway, names are just labels. There's no doubt she's your brother's classmate," President Er Gou nodded and said.

"My brother's classmate... does that mean she's human?"

"Well, it can't be a monkey."

"...To be able to attend your wedding, President Sister...and even be a bridesmaid and groomsman alongside Mu Yu...is this person really that amazing?"

"Not that impressive, just an ordinary girl." President Er Gou answered the question quite quickly.

"Huh? An ordinary girl?"

"That's right. Her family isn't very powerful. By commoner standards, she might be considered a rich and beautiful girl, but by the standards of the Admiral, she's just an ordinary person." President Er Gou nodded and said, "Her performance in school was average. Her tactics were so-so, and her theoretical knowledge was mediocre. Although she passed the Admiral qualification exam after graduation, she didn't get any nerve potions. Her construction skills weren't exactly lucky either; she was probably just average."

"...So ordinary?"

"correct."

"...Why did my brother want her to be his bridesmaid?"

"Because she has big breasts and a pretty face." President Er Gou said through gritted teeth, pinching his cigarette butt. "That idiot definitely did it on purpose. If I hadn't been prettier in the end, this silly bridesmaid would have stolen the spotlight from me at my wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Xiao Bai silently watched Er Gou's clenched teeth and suddenly felt that the war between women was quite terrifying.

"So what happened to that admiral later?" Xiaobai asked.

As soon as Xiaobai finished asking the question, President Er Gou, who had been gritting her teeth and wishing she could devour someone alive, slowly calmed down. She let go of the cigarette butt that had been squeezed so tightly in her palm that it was bent into a crooked shape.

"...She received a lot of help from your brother when she was studying, so after graduation she liked to come to my place whenever she had free time. As she came more often, we became familiar with each other, and after your brother left, she often came to stay with me."

"Ah, you've become friends with the president!" Xiaobai smiled.

President Er Gou smiled at Xiao Bai.

"and after?"

"Dead." Guild Master Er Gou murmured softly, gazing at the horizon of the sea.

"...How...did he die?" Xiaobai asked with some complicated feelings.

"Hmm, I think I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, the world's number one and number two are standing by her side. No one would dare to harm her. As for her... well, it's just fate."

"Life?"

"Are you ready to continue listening?" President Er Gou glanced at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai blinked, thought for a moment, and then suddenly asked a question.

Is she a good person?

"Okay."

"Oh." Xiaobai nodded, touched her belly, but didn't ask any more questions.

President Er Gou looked at Xiao Bai with some curiosity: "Aren't you going to continue listening?"

Xiao Bai smiled and shook her head at President Er Gou: "As long as she's a good older sister, that's fine."

President Er Gou smiled.

"She was walking on the beach when a seagull carrying a turtle flew over her head. The turtle fell and hit her on the head, killing her."

"……seriously?"

"Just take this as the truth." Chairman Er Gou pinched the cigarette butt between his thumb and middle finger, as if to flick it into the sea.

Xiao Bai stretched out his hand, pouting as he stared at President Er Gou.

After thinking for a while, President Er Gou placed the cigarette butt in his hand into Xiao Bai's palm.

President Er Gou reached out and ruffled Xiao Bai's hair: "Is it cold at the beach?"

"good."

"Then you should go back. You don't need to stay with me."

"...President Sister, aren't you going back?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Hmm—I want to go back too. But I made a mistake~ The police will come to arrest me as soon as it gets light," said President Er Gou.

"What's wrong?!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

"Kick a dog to death."

"Uh... well, you should apologize properly to the dog owner and beg for their forgiveness..."

“No normal person can raise a mad dog.” Chairman Er Gou pressed down on Xiao Bai’s head, bent down, and grinned at Xiao Bai. “Little Bai, you can go back now. I’m fine. At worst, I’ll be taken in by the police for a few days. I’ll be back sooner or later.”

Xiao Bai felt the hand of Guild Master Er Gou on her head. She stared at Guild Master Er Gou's face, opened her mouth, and then frowned and thought for a while.

"What's wrong? Why are you hesitating?"

"Um... if there's going to be a fine... I, I have money here..."
