Elder brother's garrison

Then, President Er Gou looked at the bandaged man on the bed with a gaze that seemed to say "it's been ages since we last met," and raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly: "...Hmm, speaking of which, isn't this state of barely surviving quite painful?"

"This..." The nurse looked extremely embarrassed. "If we contact this gentleman's family or colleagues, we should be able to offer him the option of euthanasia..."

It seems the nurse has tacitly agreed.

"Meeting him is fate, and life is incredibly precious. As the guild leader, it's only right and proper for me to help out when such a tragic figure appears in my territory." Guild Leader Er Gou nodded. "Here's what we'll do. I'll cover his medical expenses. Even if we know he can't be saved, we should do our best to keep him alive and conscious, so he can experience the beauty of life before he dies. Every extra breath he takes is a blessing."

"...This..." The nurse looked at Chairman Er Gou with difficulty, and hesitated.

"Can't you?"

"President, given the patient's current injuries, remaining conscious would cause him immense suffering..."

"Brilliant! That's exactly right, the more painful the better. You don't understand, how can he know the hardships of life if he doesn't experience enough pain? In the process of enduring pain, he creates medical miracles, doesn't he? Guan Yu's bone-scraping treatment has a successor."

"……understood."

The nurse, head down, slipped out of the room with the tray in her hand. A moment later, several doctors from the clinic, their faces strange, came in and pushed the bandaged figure by the door away.

President Er Gou hummed as he walked to Mu Chenglin's bedside, which was not far away.

Mu Chenglin remained conscious throughout the surgery. He lay in a supine position and gave Chairman Er Gou a weak smile.

"As expected of Aunt Naige... she is so considerate of others," Mu Chenglin said admiringly.

"Hmm? That guy from earlier? You should thank him; the anesthetic you used was probably saved from him."

"Cheng Lin will definitely pay a visit to express his gratitude in the future..."

President Er Gou shrugged indifferently, then glanced at Mu Chenglin's face a few times.

"Hey, let me tell you first, the ship girl who hit you is from my family." President Er Gou crossed his arms, plopped down on the nearby bed, and looked down at Mu Chenglin. "Hit me or scold me as you please."

The fact that President Er Gou would take the blame for thousands of people without warning really surprised Xiao Bai.

Just as she was about to step forward to explain, her second aunt, the association president, gave Xiaobai a look that said, "Take it easy."

Mu Chenglin, lying on the bed, quietly watched Chairman Er Gou. Even after Chairman Er Gou offered to take the blame, there was no intense emotional fluctuation in his expression.

"Aunt Naige, that white-haired ship girl... she shouldn't be yours, but rather a ship girl from the newbie naval base, right?" Mu Chenglin asked.

"We're family. His ship girls are mine, and my ship girls are still mine."

"That makes sense. I was being presumptuous."

"You don't seem that angry about getting beaten up?" Guild Master Er Gou asked. "I told you you could hit and scold me as you pleased, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"...Before leaving, my elders instructed me that if my aunt refused to come home, I would forcibly take her away on trumped-up charges of murder. This is unkind, unjust, and unfilial, and it is an insult to elders by a junior like myself, so I deserve to be beaten. My aunt and Senior Lu are husband and wife, and my actions are even worse than the Queen Mother of the West splitting the Milky Way in the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Senior Lu Yun's ship girl to give me a beating on his behalf. It is only natural for a husband to stand up for his wife. This is how the world should be. I dare not have any complaints, let alone any desire for revenge."

Mu Chenglin said this.

It makes perfect sense.

President Er Gou crossed his arms, looked at Mu Chenglin on the bed, thought for a long time, and then shook his head helplessly.

"It would be so much better if you were a jerk. I hate reasoning with people the most." President Er Gou crossed his legs, looking like he was looking down on all the trouble.

"Although Aunt Naige has severed ties with her hometown, the family has never treated her as an outsider..."

"Understood." President Er Gou shrugged and jumped off the bed. "We'll talk about it tomorrow. You go to sleep. I'm going back now."

"Junior, I obey."

"Oh, by the way, if you're worried about safety, you can call your ship girl over to your side."

"As for the ship girls, after informing them that I was alright, I told them to go and rest. If they were here, things would be much more complicated," Mu Chenglin said with a smile to everyone.

"You're quite clever." President Er Gou snorted, walked to Xiao Bai's side, took Xiao Bai's hand, and left.

Guild Master Er Gou returned to the Admiral's Guild in a whirlwind.

As soon as he returned to the familiar third floor, President Er Gou collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, and rolled around on it like a caterpillar.

President Er Gou is a bit irritable today.

"This is so troublesome—" President Er Gou muttered while rubbing against the sofa cushion, "Damn it, these old bastards are such a nuisance. If only they could just send some rude juniors over so I could make a run for it..."

“Well, it’s about holistic education… After all, we’re here to pick you up from school, so the people we choose have to be reliable…” Mu Yu trembled beside her.

"Sigh... If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft one... These old bastards may not know how to do anything else disgusting, but they have a whole repertoire of disgusting methods..." President Er Gou muttered to himself.

Xiao Bai sat down next to President Er Gou.

After thinking for a while, President Er Gou slowly sat up from the sofa.

President Er Gou stared at the window of the hall, looking at the sky outside, and pondered for a long time.

“Little White Sister.” President Er Gou suddenly spoke up.

"Ah."

"The weather is so nice."

"Uh……"

"What reason will I have to come back after I go back..." President Er Gou muttered to himself, "Sigh... What will I do if I can't see this sky again..."

There was a hint of confusion in President Er Gou's voice.

Hearing this, Xiaobai panicked a little.

Has the president really run out of ideas...?

"President Sister!" Xiaobai quickly grabbed President Ergou's arm. "Um... how about you hide in my naval base, okay..."

"Hmm, harboring hostages is no small crime. You're really willing to risk your life for me..."

"...If the student council president is forced to remarry...that would be terrible! I must help the student council president!"

"Alright, that's what I was waiting for." The sadness in Er Gou's voice vanished instantly. She raised her hand. "Xiao Yu! Here's a pen!!"

"Yes, sir!" Mu Yu knelt down beside President Er Gou in a flash, took out two contracts that looked like they had been printed in advance and a pen from her clothes, and slapped them on the coffee table in front of President Er Gou. "Auntie, please take a look at the contracts."

Ok?

Uh-huh? ?

A black man with a question mark on his face... Hmm...?

What contract? What's going on? What's the situation?

Have I been tricked again?

"Contract???" Xiaobai looked at President Ergou with a blank expression, then looked at Muyu.

Mu Yu didn't dare look Xiao Bai in the eye: "Little Bai... you have to know... I was forced into this too..."

Xiao Bai stared at Mu Yu, about to say something, when he saw President Er Gou suddenly grab the contract on the table and look at the bewildered Xiao Bai with a sorrowful expression.

"Little White Sister, you just said you were willing to take a risk for me."

"I'll tell you now," Er Gou's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. "Little White Sister, I've run into trouble this time."

"Actually, last night, when you told me we were family, I thought of a way to get back safely even if I went back!"

"Yes! That's how we create a reason to come back!"

"Let's forge a great bond! The flower of hope connects each and every one of us!"

"Little White Sister! This plan was originally intended to cause heavy losses to both sides! I didn't want to carry it out..."

"But the enemy is too cunning this time, so we have no choice but to use our ultimate move!"

As he spoke, President Er Gou handed the contract to Xiao Bai, looking at her with a shy and embarrassed expression.

"I hereby announce that, effective immediately, I, the president of the Second Naval Base and the Second Chapter Admiral Guild of this world, am officially retiring!"

"My naval base is yours from this day forward!!!"

Chapter 878 looks so auspicious!

In the early morning, thin white clouds could not block the sun's increasingly bright light. A ray of sunlight, accompanied by the approaching chill of winter, unknowingly illuminated the window of the admiral's office.

Inside, the admiral's office was dimly lit.

Small patches of frost remained on the transparent glass. Inside, heavy curtains hung on either side of the window, allowing sunlight to stream in unobstructed rays, like wisps of smoke, gradually seeping into the office through the frosted glass.

The office door was locked, and the clock above the door had just reached the two o'clock position.

On the desk, heavy stacks of documents, exuding the scent of printer ink, were piled up haphazardly, forming several small mounds. There was no one on the desk, only a half-cold white coffee cup and two pens lying flat on the rim.

Opposite the desk, on a sofa wider than a person, a brown blanket wrapped around a figure, outlining a curled-up silhouette that formed an extremely curvaceous line.

Her long, flaxen hair flowed like water from the top of the blanket, spreading in all directions. The woman's quiet breathing, like the aroma of fine wine, wafted out of the blanket, blending into the surroundings, and continued to ferment and develop in the slow, languid air.

On the sofa, the woman's even breathing suddenly became a little heavier.

"Um……"

The murmuring sound was like a drop of water, falling into the still pond after the rain.

As the ripples subsided, a cluster of green lotus blossoms appeared.

Wrapped tightly in a thin blanket, the beautiful body curled up on the sofa swayed a few times, accompanied by the soft creaking of the textiles and leather. A slender, pale hand slowly emerged from under the blanket, pulling it down to reveal the plump fruit inside.

Lexington, under the blanket, had one eye half-open, one hand dangling in the air, and lingering drowsiness at the corner of her eye.

Her long hair slipped from between her fingers, like silk fabric piled up to her chest, and then slid down her high breasts into the deep cleavage between her smooth skin.

Lexington lay on the sofa, half-closing her eyes, enjoying a moment of morning drowsiness.

A few minutes later, Lexington withdrew her hand, rubbed her eyes, and sat up from the sofa.

The ship's power, deliberately guided, instantly dispelled the lingering drowsiness like a candle flame. Lexington shook her head, patted her face, and then looked up at the clock.

"It's already so late." Lexington smiled helplessly, folded the thin blanket in her hands, placed it next to the sofa, tidied her disheveled long hair, and walked to the door to turn on the light.

Lexington stretched and walked back to his desk only after the incandescent light illuminated the dim room.

Beside the desk, there was a complete set of toiletries and two cups of water. Lexington picked up the water and quickly washed up before sitting back down at the desk, feeling refreshed, and pulled out a stack of documents.

"work!"

The spirit of Lexington echoed in the room.

Lexington, pen in hand, wrote and calculated at his desk. Time passed slowly in quiet peace. Two hours later, the sky, aided by the sun, was bright as the sun rose, and faint sounds of people could be heard outside the office window.

The sounds of laughter and chatter outside drifted through the floors and into the house, the volume of which was just right.

Lexington, who was copying paragraphs from the document, smiled slightly, a hint of amusement creeping onto her rosy lips.

The office door was pushed open.

Reputation walked in, turned off the light that no longer needed to be lit, and then bowed to Lexington in the office.

Good morning, Lexington.

Lexington narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Good morning, Reputation. I've said it many times, we're sisters, family, no need for such formalities like bowing."

As usual, Shengwang nodded slightly and walked towards her desk. Behind her, the meticulous counterattack and newly promoted maid, Fukami Yamato, walked in one after the other.

Deep Sea Yamato, carrying a broom, yawned and stretched, looking like he hadn't slept well again.

Good morning, Mrs. Lie.

"Hey, good morning."

Counterattack and Deep Sea Yamato greeted each other.

Only after Counterattack and Deep Sea Yamato began cleaning the office did a long, slender white leg cautiously peek in from outside the door once again.

With a blush on her face, Richelieu, dressed in a specially made revealing maid outfit, carefully entered the house, carrying the unconscious Deep Sea Musashi and Deep Sea Pachina in each hand, and stood in a corner that she tried to avoid attracting attention.

“…Good morning…” Richelieu’s otherwise slightly arrogant and clear voice contained a sense of humiliation that was hard to resist.

Richelieu, the shy female knight, was still awkward and unaccustomed to life at the naval base, despite undergoing labor reform day and night.

Lexington expressed some concern.

And he rarely showed such a bright and understanding smile.

"Is the master coming back today?" Reputation, who was sitting by the desk, noticed Lexington's expression and asked.

"Hmm? How did you know about Reputation?" Lexington asked curiously.

You seem very happy today.

"Ah, is that so?" Lexington put down her pen, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, Xiaobai and the others said yesterday that they would be back at noon today."
