Anyway, staying at Nanxing's house wasn't boring for Xiaobai. The three of them would watch TV, chat, and play games like Ludo together, which made Xiaobai quite content.
Time passed in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and before we knew it, it was afternoon.
Just as Xiaobai and the other two were about to have lunch, Nanxing's phone suddenly rang.
Nanxing picked up her phone and looked at it.
Normally, Nanxing keeps most phone numbers on silent. The only phone numbers that will respond to Nanxing's calls are Xiaobai and her family.
Now that Xiaobai is right next to Nanxing, it's no surprise that the phone number that makes Nanxing's head spin... belongs to someone else.
Nanxing answered the phone, listened to the words on the other end, nodded calmly, and made a series of "uh-huh" sounds.
After a while, the call ended, and Nanxing put down her phone.
"Was it your uncle and aunt calling?" Xiaobai asked from the side.
"Ah."
"Was it yesterday?" Xiaobai asked again.
"Okay." Nanxing put her phone inside her clothes, then said to Xiaobai, "Mom and Dad said they were very grateful to you yesterday, and they've arranged a dinner for us at a restaurant in the city today."
"Huh? A restaurant?"
"Yes."
"So formal..." Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.
“They said it was because you helped a lot yesterday,” Nanxing said, looking at Xiaobai. “The families of the patients you cured put up banners at the hospital entrance, and now the whole hospital knows about it. Later… it seems that many TV stations came too. There are people behind the hospital entrance now, completely surrounded, saying they want to see what the all-powerful Dr. Bai looks like. Later, in order to disperse the crowd, even the police station was dispatched.”
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately rubbed his forehead, "This matter has actually become such a big deal..."
Xiao Bai never expected that simply dispelling the deep-sea aura from the patient would alarm the television station...
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with us. We're just going out to eat," Nanxing said, then asked curiously, "...Do you want to go?"
"Well... since it's an invitation from your aunt and uncle, I'll go." Xiaobai nodded.
Suddenly, just as Xiaobai finished speaking, she clearly felt a direct gaze from behind her.
Xiao Bai didn't even turn around, yet he knew who was watching him.
Xiao Bai smiled and spoke to Nan Xing again.
"Um... Sister Nanxing, can we remember to tell Uncle and Aunt that there are three of us going out to eat, not just two?
"Mm." Nanxing nodded.
Only after hearing this did Xiaobai realize that the gaze behind him had faded.
Xiao Bai looked back.
Chao Da and Mo Mo were seen leaning against the sofa, holding a bunch of grapes and eating them in small bites. Every now and then, she would steal glances at Xiao Bai out of the corner of her eye.
When Shiro's smiling gaze met Yamato's furtive glance, Yamato quickly turned his head away, hurriedly putting grapes into his mouth, and a faint blush appeared on his fair cheeks.
Generally speaking, when someone invites you to a banquet, you should follow the rule that the guest should not host the banquet.
But Chao Dahe is not Xiaobai's "guest". She is Xiaobai's "ship girl (Abyssal)," a family member, or in other words, a relative.
Bringing her along wouldn't really be considered breaking the rules.
After all, Shiro promised Yamato yesterday that she would take her out next time...
The time comes at night.
Xiao Bai and his two companions arrived at the hotel entrance on time, just as Nanxing's parents had agreed.
The restaurant that Nanxing's parents booked for Xiaobai and Nanxing was a famous five-star hotel in Shenzhen. It was almost nighttime, and the entire city of Shenzhen was brightly lit and resplendent. The five-star hotel itself exuded an atmosphere of luxury and extravagance, like a castle made of gold.
Although Nanxing's parents were wealthy, they were probably not the type to be extravagant.
The fact that these elders booked such a luxurious hotel for Xiaobai's dinner party shows, in a sense, that they value Xiaobai highly.
When Xiaobai and his two companions arrived at the entrance, they saw two women and a man waiting there, waving to them as soon as they saw them.
Ok?
Are there also three people on the other side?
Upon seeing the three people opposite, Xiaobai was initially surprised, but after glancing at Chao Yamato beside him, he felt that it didn't really matter.
"Sweetie, little one, over here, over here!"
Nanxing's mother smiled and waved, welcoming Xiaobai and the other two to her side. She first smiled at Xiaobai and Nanxing, then her gaze fell on Chaodahe's face, and she became somewhat curious.
"Eh...who is this...?"
“Auntie, she’s my ship girl,” Xiaobai said.
"Oh... so you're a ship girl, I knew it." Nanxing's mother smiled immediately upon hearing this. She extended her hand to Chao Yamato and said gently, "Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Nanxing's mother. I used to be a ship girl too. May I ask your name?"
"Super Yamato."
Chao Da looked down at Nanxing's mother's hand. She paused for a moment, then slowly reached out and stiffly clasped Nanxing's mother's hand in hers.
Chao Yamato isn't really good at socializing with people other than Shiro, but the person in front of her is Nanxing's mother, so Chao Yamato still has to give her some face.
“Oh… Super Yamato, what a rare ship name… When I was a ship girl, let alone Super Yamato, I didn’t even have Missouri or Montana…” Nanxing’s mother said, her gaze drifting over the hand she was holding, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and stopped.
Nanxing's mother's gaze was fixed on the ring on Chaoda's ring finger.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked Nanxing's mother curiously.
“…It’s alright.” Nanxing’s mother shook her hand holding Chao Yamato’s hand, then let go, looked at Xiaobai, and smiled.
On Nanxing's mother's face, there was a mysterious smile that Xiaobai couldn't understand.
Xiaobai felt a little strange watching this.
The focus shifted back to the remaining two individuals.
Of the remaining man and woman, the man is naturally Nanxing's father.
Upon seeing Xiaobai, Nanxing's father simply nodded with a smile, his eyes brimming with satisfaction.
As for the last remaining woman, she was someone Xiaobai had never seen before.
This woman looked to be in her forties, but she was well-maintained in terms of her face and figure, and her fashion sense was also quite good. She looked like a beautiful woman in the same style as Nanxing's mother. Although her appearance was not as beautiful and gentle as Nanxing's mother, who was born a ship girl, she had a touch of heroism and valor in her eyes and brows, which made her particularly elegant and gave people a very comfortable feeling.
"Hello." The woman greeted Xiaobai with a smile when she saw him staring at her.
"Um... Auntie... Hello, Auntie?"
“Don’t call me Auntie, call me Sister!” the woman immediately said.
"Uh..." Xiaobai quickly changed her words, "Sister... Hello, sister..."
"Oh dear, how could you say such a thing?" Nanxing's mother, standing to the side, immediately stopped the two with a dark expression. She hugged Xiaobai and said to him, "Little friend, don't let her lead you astray. She's fifty years old this year, how could she be so embarrassed to be called 'sister' by you!"
"Huh?" Xiaobai was shocked.
This person is over fifty?
But he still looks like he's in his thirties.
Wow, you've taken such good care of yourself...
Xiao Bai looked at the woman.
The woman had a smile on her face.
"What's wrong? Are you saying I'm eating your rice at fifty? You're fifty too! Have you grown up and started siding with outsiders after getting married? You unfilial daughter!"
"My age of fifty was added up by the doctor during my retirement assessment; I'm actually only in my thirties!"
"Don't listen to the bastard chanting sutras!"
"You're the bastard! Your whole family are bastards!"
The two pretty aunties started playfully fighting right in front of Xiaobai.
Laughter.
Nanxing's father coughed awkwardly, walked up to Xiaobai, and introduced him in a low voice.
"This is your aunt's former admiral, and he has a very good relationship with our family."
"Oh!" Xiaobai exclaimed, suddenly realizing what was going on.
Chapter 3377 A Passionate Dinner
Xiao Bai thought to himself that there was a familiar and strange aura about the aunt in front of him. It turned out that she had once been an admiral!
Thinking about it this way, Xiaobai suddenly felt that she did indeed have a bit of the feeling of Chairman Er Gou, Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, and even Admiral Ning Lu.
Little White stared intently at the aunt.
The aunt seemed to sense Xiaobai's gaze, and she finally stopped playing around with Nanxing's mother, looking at Xiaobai with a smile on her face.
"Little friend, nice to meet you. My name is Limu."
"Limu... Auntie, good evening." Xiaobai opened her mouth, but her gaze was drawn to Nanxing's mother, who was giving her a meaningful look. Only after Xiaobai uttered the word "Auntie" did she nod in satisfaction.
Li Mu playfully punched Nan Xing's mother, then the two linked arms and waved to the crowd as they walked into the hotel.
Nanxing's father straightened his collar and smiled at Xiaobai and Nanxing.
"Come in. It's rare for us to get together outside today. We're all family here, so don't be too reserved."
"Thank you, Uncle, I understand." Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
As the group entered the hotel, a row of beautiful maids appeared out of nowhere. The girls lined up in two rows around the group, bowed respectfully, and greeted them.
Xiao Bai's gaze swept over the servants present, his eyes showing some surprise.
The girls dressed as servants spanned all age groups, from petite to mature. Each one was fair-skinned, beautiful, graceful, and possessed a unique charm. They were the kind of superstars who could attract the attention of the entire audience, even on television.
Uh... this...
These girls dressed as attendants are actually ship girls? And judging from their demeanor, although they seem to have been out of action for a long time and are somewhat lax in their behavior, they all seem to be quite strong, and they're still wearing their ship equipment...
Pearwood, who was walking ahead, turned around and glanced at Little White, taking in Little White's surprised look.
"Little friend, these are all my ship girls." Li Mu smiled at Xiao Bai, "They're not like that heartless one, they obediently stay by my side."
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Nan Xing's mother started pounding her shoulder again.
"Oh? It's Aunt Rinki's ship girl... No wonder... Wait a minute." Xiaobai paused for a few seconds, her gaze sweeping over the magnificent golden scenery around her. "Could it be that this hotel is..."
"Yes, I drove it," Li Mu said with a smile as she took Nanxing's mother's fist.
"Hotel owner..." Xiaobai was shocked.
"It's my treat tonight, so eat as much as you want!" Li Mu added with a smile, "I won't be happy if you don't eat enough!"
"..." Xiaobai swallowed hard.
How awesome.
Aunt Limu is probably one of the most successful retired admirals.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai inexplicably recalled an old man she had met on a beach who lived with a little girl.
Compared to him, Aunt Limu's life was like heaven and earth.
The opulent hotel was empty except for the ship girls who served as attendants.
After her initial shock, Xiaobai was a little worried that the hotel might be struggling, or that the food might be bad... But as if she had caught the thought that flashed in Xiaobai's eyes, Aunt Limu immediately said that her hotel business was actually doing quite well. After all, aside from anything else, there were plenty of pretty girls at the hotel that you couldn't touch, and many people were willing to come just to see the girls and have a meal. Although business wasn't booming, it was enough to support her whole family of ship girls. As for why there were no customers tonight, it was because she was going to focus on entertaining Xiaobai and also host a dinner for her former ship girl best friends that she hadn't seen in a long time, so she had turned down all other guests.
Older people really have sharp eyesight.
Xiao Bai sighed, afraid that Aunt Li Mu would discover from her eyes that there was something like Dean Shen Hai in her family, so she quickly lowered her head.
Aunt Limu led everyone to a private room.
Xiao Bai wanted to find a seat anywhere, but Nan Xing's parents called her over and made her sit in a seat directly facing the door of the private room.
Nanxing and Chaoda saw Xiaobai sit down and sat on Xiaobai's left and right sides respectively.
"We've been waiting for you for so long, sisters! Serve the food!" Li Mu pulled Nan Xing's mother to sit opposite Nan Xing's father and called out towards the door.
The door opened, and a ship girl dressed as a servant walked in carrying a platter of lobsters.
One by one, the dining table was filled with all sorts of delicacies from land and sea.
