Elder brother's garrison

"So... Admiral, do you want to fight?"

"..." Xiaobai shook his head.

Xiao Bai wouldn't dare play mahjong with a company anymore.

Xiaobai is still young, and I don't want him to become withdrawn at such a young age.

Mu Chenglin was pulled away by the elders of the Mu family. Judging from their expressions as they left, they seemed quite satisfied with Mu Chenglin now.

Xiaobai stayed in the living room and cleaned up the messy floor with Munai.

"Did Shiro think of this from the beginning and send her ship girl?" Konohana suddenly asked Shiro as she squatted by the coffee table picking up fruit peels from the floor.

Little White on the other side shook its head.

Although it might be a bit much to say that to Mu Chenglin, who had always treated him with courtesy, Xiaobai did call the company over with the intention of driving Mu Chenglin, who was so addicted to mahjong that he was almost becoming a useless person, into a state of depression.

—Who knew that the companies would actually turn the situation around and transform the forest into a forest?

That company is awesome.

"White Sister is indeed interesting." Muna chuckled. "But this is the first time I've known that there's such a mahjong master among the ship girls."

"Huh? What?"

"I have witnessed the skills of those experts in the martial arts world who wield knives, but no matter how I observe this one today, I cannot find any flaws in her."

What does it mean to have a knife in your hand?

“You’re a cheater.” Muna Hana stretched out her fair hand in front of Shiro, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a green mahjong tile appeared from her fingertips as if by magic. “That’s it.”

Munaihua actually mistook the company for a mahjong cheat in a movie.

"So it was cheating..." Xiaobai laughed. "Sister Naihua, you misunderstood. Enterprise really doesn't know how to play mahjong."

"Can't she?"

"Then why does she always get a perfect hand every time..." Muna Hana wondered.

"Hmm... how should I explain this?" Xiaobai pondered for a moment, then got up, went to the coffee table, found a clean cup, and poured a cup of hot tea into the glass.

The aroma of tea rises in the white steam, and a few pointed tea leaves slowly swirl and float in the brownish-red tea.

Holding a teacup, Xiaobai waved to the company that was tending to potted plants not far away, calling her over, and then handed the teacup she had poured to the company.

"Businesses, have some tea."

"Oh, thank you, Admiral!" Enterprise took the teacup from Shiro's hand.

As the company held the teacup, several dark green tea leaves stood up, and auspicious tea pillars floated on the surface.

"Here. This is it." Shiro pointed to the teacup in Enterprise's hand and explained to Monica, "Enterprise is incredibly lucky."

"..." Muna Hana stared blankly at the company.

"Naihana-neechan?"

"Little Sister Bai... this ship girl... may I ask how much her monthly salary is? I'll offer ten times that amount, could she stay with the Mu family for a month..."

"I'll get angry if you say that again," Shiro said, pointing a finger at Muna.

After being rejected by Shiro, Muna looked quite disappointed.

After spending considerable effort explaining to Munao the ineffectiveness of the "utilitarian milk" and the mystical concepts that relying on the company might deplete one's luck for the rest of their life, Shiro finally comforted the disappointed Munao and then walked out of the living room with the company.

At the corner of the corridor, Kaga was still standing there, watching them with extreme vigilance.

"Ah! It's Kaga!" Enterprise, pushed out of the living room by Shiro, sensed Kaga's presence even before Shiro did. Smiling happily, she waved and ran quickly towards the end of the corridor, "Kaga—!"

Kaga shuddered and transformed into a white bolt of lightning, fleeing upstairs. Enterprise seemed completely oblivious to Kaga's hostility; seeing Kaga leave, she happily chased after her.

For a moment, the entire second floor of the Mu family villa echoed with the laughter of the company and the footsteps of Kaga, creating a chaotic and lively scene.

Shiro, standing at the very back, watched Kaga, who had previously appeared lonely, now display such an active and fierce expression as he was pursued by the company, and felt somewhat gratified.

—Kaga is so energetic.

Xiaobai opened the door to her room and went inside.

At this moment, President Er Gou was lying on Xiao Bai's bed, quietly reading a book.

President Er Gou had no intention of engaging in any more commotion with the Mu family. All she wanted to do was wait for the Mu family head to take office, then have these people escort her to her wedding, and then legitimately slip away to go home.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" President Er Gou asked Xiao Bai as he walked in, while reading a book.

"Ah, Kaga and Enterprise are playing a game."

"Hmm, so that's the company you were looking for." President Er Gou revealed a knowing smile.

"Does the president also know any companies?"

"I was your sister-in-law, you know. Everyone knows who that 'Tang Monk' is next to your brother." President Er Gou rolled over on the bed. "Hmm, so Mu Chenglin was so badly beaten by Tianhu that he became depressed?"

"He put down the mahjong tiles and instantly became a Buddha."

"Awesome!" President Er Gou laughed twice.

As Xiaobai spoke, she climbed onto the bed.

The beds in the Mu Family Villa are very large. Although it is a single room, the beds are big and soft, and several people can lie on them like a trampoline without any problem.

"The president's family members seem quite interesting."

"Is it interesting?" President Er Gou tilted his head.

"It's quite welcoming," Xiaobai nodded.

"The Mu family is very strict with outsiders. Back then, in order to persuade me to come home, they even sent low-life scoundrels..." Chairman Er Gou muttered.

“…Oh…” Xiaobai didn’t quite understand what Guild Master Ergou was saying.

"By the way, President Sister, where are Lianlian and Missouri?"

"It's here too."

"Huh? Where?"

While Xiaobai was looking for a spot on the bed, he heard what Er Gou, the president, said. He had just pressed the sheet and was about to turn over when he suddenly felt as if his foot had stepped on something soft.

"ah!"

Beneath the fluffy duvet cover, a girl's cry could be heard as her bottom rolled around.

The soft bedding tossed and turned for a moment, then quickly fell silent.

"..."

Hmm, it seems that Guild Master Er Gou doesn't need to tell Xiao Bai where Luo Lian is.

Xiao Bai reached out and patted the duvet cover, then glanced back at President Er Gou.

President Er Gou's attention was fixed on the book in his hand, and he didn't look at himself.

Xiao Bai sighed.

"Lianlian, hiding under the blanket will cause oxygen deprivation, which is bad for your brain." Xiaobai sighed helplessly and reached out to lift the blanket.

After Xiaobai lifted the snow-white blankets, a pair of snow-white arms emerged from under the blankets and quickly wrapped around Xiaobai's neck as she tumbled about.

Xiao Bai felt a strong force pull her down, and then instantly fell into a warm and soft embrace.

In a trance.

With a mischievous smile, Missouri lowered her head, offered her red lips, and quietly leaned forward to press them against Xiaobai's lips.

"...Chirp."

Remove immediately upon contact.

Chapter 911 Daughter's Red

Xiao Bai was thinking that the person hiding under his blanket might be Luo Lian, but he forgot that Luo Lian was a strange being who would inexplicably faint whenever his younger sister shared a bed with Xiao Bai. The scream just now was most likely made by Luo Lian.

Furthermore, given the size of the Mu family's bed, there's more than enough room for one or two people to hide under the covers.

That's how Missouri is; she'll suddenly do something silly when many newbies don't expect it, and then deliver a critical hit that penetrates their armor.

When the book-obsessed President Er Gou was drawn to the sound behind him and finally turned around, Xiao Bai, who was lying on Missouri's body, had already buried his face between Missouri's full breasts, and both of his ears were burning red.

What kind of behavior is this in broad daylight?

President Er Gou then sent out condemnations from the older generation.

Outside the door, the chase between Kaga and Enterprise ended with Enterprise's victory as expected. Shortly after, Shiro's door was pushed open, and Enterprise, who was hugging Kaga and rubbing her face against hers, walked in. Amid Enterprise's laughter, they both collapsed onto Shiro's bed.

That evening, Mu Chenglin, who had been forced to drink until he was unconscious, was carried back to the living room of the villa by the elders of the Mu family. Everyone put the drunken Mu Chenglin on the sofa in the living room, and the whole family took a group photo around him, thus providing historical proof of the succession of the Mu family head.

Afterwards, Muna was so moved that she shed tears.

After the matter of the family head was resolved, the elders of the Mu family did not rest. They all gathered around Old Master Mu to discuss the arrangements for the wedding.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next day, before dawn, the living room of the villa was already bustling with activity.

The sound of footsteps came and went. Xiao Bai, who had just gotten up, hadn't even rubbed his eyes yet when he discovered that the villa had been decorated with all sorts of red flowers and gold ribbons, making it look bright and festive.

In the hallway and the living room, the aunts and uncles chatted amongst themselves, as if there were several times more people in the living room than yesterday.

"Sixth Aunt, are the eggs cooked yet?!"

"It's cooked!"

"Hey, the 'double happiness' character is cut out! Grandpa, what do you think, is it okay?"

"Where are the gifts? I remember they were placed by the door at first!"

"Is Naige awake yet? Oh dear, what time is it..."

"Quickly, someone send someone to make the car arrive a few days later!"

In the rush, many unfamiliar middle-aged women passed by Xiaobai.

Just then, an elderly woman carrying a thick stack of red envelopes passed by.

"Hey? Whose child is this?" The old lady spotted Xiaobai standing at the door looking a bit lost. She walked up to Xiaobai with a smile and handed him a red envelope. "Come on, here's a red envelope for you."

"Uh... thank you..." Xiaobai accepted the red envelope with a subtle expression.

"...Um, what's the situation now?"

"To escort the second young lady to her wedding."

"Wow, that's quite a big deal."

"Of course, after all, she is the second young lady, the most beautiful woman in the Mu family."

"……ah???"

Xiao Bai's expression gradually stiffened.

"...Beautiful, a beautiful woman??"

"Yes, she's very beautiful."

"..."

Little Bai, still half asleep, stared blankly at the smug old woman in front of him.

This auntie... has she never seen President Er Gou before?

Admittedly, Chairman Er Gou's facial features are indeed very handsome.

But to be honest, beauty isn't just about being good-looking...it's about appearance and demeanor.

Every time Xiaobai recalls President Ergou, she remembers the way she used to pick her toes by the bed.

—Has the Mu family fallen so low that even Chairman Er Gou is considered the most beautiful woman...?

Xiao Bai was so shocked that he forgot how to reply.

Later, Muna finally remembered Xiaobai's existence. She came out of the living room, found Xiaobai glaring at her aunt, and after explaining that Xiaobai, as a member of the groom's family, should wait at a certain place in Linsheng City when sending off the bride, Muna quickly pulled Xiaobai to a corner. Then, she led her aunts and uncles upstairs to the second floor and ran towards the room of Chairman Er Gou.

Amidst the screams of Chairman Er Gou, Xiao Bai fled the villa as if his life depended on it.

Outside the villa, the ship girls who had gotten up even earlier than Xiaobai and Luo Lian seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.

"Admiral, you're finally out!" Enterprise waved to Shiro.
