Elder brother's garrison

Page 540

After seeing the desire for a truce in each other's eyes, Saratoga and Luo Lian nodded to each other, then threw off the covers and crawled one after the other to Xiao Bai's side.

Before crawling into bed, Saratoga glanced around a few more times. Missouri was no longer on the bed; it seemed Missouri had left the room early while she was asleep.

That monster...

Saratoga muttered to herself, then silently crawled into bed.

"Ah, um————" Just as Saratoga's quiet morning finally ended and he could finally enjoy Little White, Little White, who had been sleeping peacefully, gently turned over. Then Little White took a deep breath, stretched out a big yawn, and gradually woke up from his dream.

Little White opened his eyes and first looked at Saratoga beside him.

"Good morning, Saratoga," Little White said with a smile.

Saratoga paused for a moment, then nodded rapidly.

Xiao Bai turned her head and looked in the other direction.

Xiao Bai thought the other side was Missouri, but when she turned her head and saw Luo Lian, she was stunned for a moment: "Eh? Lian Lian?"

"Good morning, Xiao Bai." Luo Lian smiled at Xiao Bai.

"Lianlian, what are you doing here?"

"I came to wake you up, but I saw you sleeping here and got sleepy." Luo Lian smiled innocently at Xiao Bai. "So we slept together."

"Oh, I see." Xiaobai quickly accepted Luo Lian's reason.

"Well, we still have plenty of time, so why don't we—" Luo Lian hinted frantically.

"I'm sleepy too." Saratoga quickly wrapped her arms around White's waist.

"Oh, I see... I really can't do anything with you guys." Xiaobai smiled at the two people beside her.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's reply, Saratoga and Luo Lian's eyes lit up.

"Then Lianlian, you and Saratoga can go to sleep first. I've had enough sleep, so I won't disturb you. You can have the bed." Xiaobai nodded, smiled at Saratoga and Luo Lian beside her, then propped herself up, sat up from the bed, and quickly jumped to the ground.

Saratoga and Luo Lian watched helplessly as Xiao Bai nimbly escaped from the covers and quickly changed into his admiral's uniform.

"Warspite is here too?" Xiaobai greeted Warspite, who was standing by the bed, as she dressed.

Xiaobai had gradually gotten used to the unexpected arrival of someone in her room, so she wasn't too surprised when she saw Warspite.

"Ah... um, I came here with the Admiral..." Warspite glanced at Luo Lian on the bed a few times and whispered to Xiao Bai.

"I see." Xiaobai nodded, then smiled at her. "Are you going to sleep too?"

"Uh... I'm not sleepy."

"Okay, let's go out then." Xiaobai looked at the weather outside through the window, then took Warspite's hand and pushed open the door.

"Ah... Little White..." Saratoga and Luo Lian on the bed stared at Little White's departing figure, exclaiming in disbelief.

"Lianlian, you should sleep well." Xiaobai turned around and said to Saratoga and Luo Lian.

“…Oh.” Luo Lian and Saratoga lowered their hands.

Xiao Bai then left the room and quietly closed the door.

The room gradually quieted down.

In Xiao Bai's room, only Luo Lian and Saratoga remained lying in bed.

Luo Lian and Saratoga stared at each other, both seeing in each other's eyes the feeling of having shot themselves in the foot.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh." Saratoga made a sound that was hard to tell if it was crying or just helplessness. She burrowed into the blankets and hugged Luo Lian tightly.

After leaving the room, Xiaobai took a deep breath of the air in the courtyard.

After what happened last night, Xiaobai had a subtle feeling as if she had been reborn.

She turned around and looked at Warspite behind her.

Warspite was still holding her own hand, and she smiled at herself somewhat shyly.

Xiaobai released Warspite's hand: "Good morning, Warspite."

"Good morning, Admiral Lu Lin..." Warspite smiled at Little White, paused, and then took a step to the other side. "Um, I'm going to wake up Des Moines. I'll be going now!"

"Well, goodbye, war-weariness."

Little White watched as Warspite dashed into a room like a whirlwind.

"Admiral!" At that moment, Fubuki, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, rushed to Shiro's side and jumped into his arms. "You're out!"

Fubuki's youthful and energetic aura instantly enveloped Shiro's face, and a refreshing scent filled Shiro's surroundings.

It's great to be young.

Xiao Bai sighed in this way.

"Yes, I'm out." Xiaobai smiled at Chuixue in her arms.

"Admiral, brush your teeth!" Fubuki took out a set of toiletries from her ship's equipment space and handed it to Shiro.

Because Shiro is often surrounded by snowflakes as soon as she goes out, Shiro has prepared a lot of daily necessities specifically for Shiro.

Shiro smiled at Fubuki and then accepted the toothbrush and towel.

Xiaobai woke up earlier than usual today, but despite waking up early, she felt that she had rested more than in the past few days combined. She and Fubuki squatted by the sink to wash up for a while, and Bismarck also came out of the kitchen to get the vegetables that were drying by the sink.

When she saw that Xiaobai was awake, Bismarck raised an eyebrow. She glanced at her watch and asked Xiaobai, "Were you woken up?"

"What does 'wake up' mean?" Little White asked Bismarck curiously.

"Bismarck, cilantro," Nia's voice came from the kitchen.

Bismarck looked at Xiaobai's face for a while, then shook his head, grabbed the vegetables, and went back to the kitchen.

Although Xiaobai was a little curious about this little incident, there was no need to go up and ask. After washing up, there was still some time before breakfast was ready, so Xiaobai and Fubuki walked to a corner of the courtyard together.

In the corner of the courtyard, a number of destroyers that had just woken up had gathered. They were full of energy and their grouping together was a sight to behold.

"The Admiral is here!" Fubuki pushed Shiro to the middle of the destroyer.

"Admiral Xiaobai!" Nia's destroyer Laffey quickly came over, hugged Xiaobai's waist, and gently moved Xiaobai to sit down on the stool next to her.

"Good morning, Admiral!" the destroyers greeted Xiaobai in unison.

The destroyers were happy that Xiaobai woke up early. After all, once Xiaobai woke up, she would stay with the destroyers unless she was on a mission or had other things to do. The earlier she woke up, the more time she would spend with the destroyers.

As for what to do with Xiaobai, the destroyers didn't mind. Xiaobai was naturally pleasing to destroyers. Even if they didn't say a word, just being together, like hugging arms, cupping faces, and looking at each other, was a happy thing.

"Good morning, Raffi." Little White reached out and stroked Raffi's fluffy head, smiling at her.

Standing on the other side of Shiro, Fubuki watched Shiro and Laffey being so affectionate, and, somewhat unwilling to give in, lifted her leg and straddled Shiro's lap: "Admiral, what about Fubuki?"

"Hmm... Good morning, Fubuki." Shiro felt Fubuki's white-stockinged thighs rubbing against his body, and his expression became slightly subtle.

Being with the destroyers, physical contact is inevitable and frequent. Xiaobai used to consider this a normal thing, but after what happened with Missouri yesterday, Xiaobai is now feeling Fubuki's soft body again, but his thoughts can't help but wander back to where he was last night.

"Admiral?" Fubuki, who was riding on Shiro's lap, thought that Shiro would pick her up as usual, but today Shiro only responded weakly, which made Fubuki a little strange.

"Huh? Hmm? What's wrong, Fubuki?" Shiro looked at Fubuki.

Fubuki pouted, lifted her other leg, and sat sideways on Shiro's lap. She snuggled up to Shiro and kissed the corner of his mouth.

This is only for Shiro's daily physical contact, but the frequency is much lower. Even a destroyer like Fubuki, who really likes Shiro, doesn't do this kind of thing often.

However, when she gets really into it, Fubuki is quite likely to come over and kiss you. But when it comes to kissing, it's more like lips rubbing against lips, and there's nothing particularly special about it.

Xiaobai hadn't reacted much before.

However, this time, Fubuki saw a different Shiro.

"Ah." Xiaobai quickly shrank back, her face turning red. She looked at Chuixue, who had kissed her, with a complicated and shy expression.

"Admiral, what's wrong?" Fubuki asked curiously.

Shiro would have been shy when Fubuki did this before, but she never reacted to this extent.

"..." Xiaobai covered her mouth, looking at Fubuki who looked completely matter-of-fact, "...Fubuki, do you like me?"

Fubuki smiled brightly: "I like it the most."

"Oh...I like it..."

"Admiral, you're acting strange today," Fubuki asked.

Xiaobai's face was flushed. She smiled wryly and nodded at Fubuki, then frowned and looked towards the other side of the yard.

Missouri stood in front of the kitchen, looking at the chefs bustling about inside with a radiant smile, as if she had received some kind of blessing.

After sensing Xiaobai's gaze, Missouri also looked in Xiaobai's direction.

Missouri looked at Little White, bowed to him, and then mouthed a gesture.

"thanks for treatment."

Chapter 736 Fubuki is so amazing!

Seeing Missouri's lip movements, Xiaobai showed a rather complicated expression. She turned her head back and stared at Fubuki on her lap.

For Missouri, who had already confirmed her feelings, what happened last night had no impact. But for Xiaobai, who was always confused, last night's events were a major event that would overturn her worldview.

—To the point that even normal playful interactions with destroyers have become somewhat hindered.

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly.

"Admiral?" Fubuki stared at Shiro with wide eyes.

"Fubuki is the best," Shiro said to Fubuki.

Fubuki nodded: "Yes! Fubuki is the best!"

Xiaobai hugged Fubuki tightly, pressed his face against Fubuki's delicate neck, and rubbed his face against Fubuki's soft and smooth skin several times.

"Hahahaha... Admiral, Fubuki is so itchy..." Fubuki didn't expect Shiro to make such a move. After feeling Shiro's breath on her neck and her hair brushing against her skin, Fubuki got goosebumps all over her neck.

Shiro pulled her head back from Fubuki's body, chuckled at Fubuki, and then shook her head vigorously.

Don't dwell on things that are bothering you. Things will work themselves out. In fact, after what happened last night, Xiaobai can enjoy physical contact from a different perspective, so it's not such a bad thing.

Thinking this way, Xiaobai gradually let go of herself and regained the sense of freedom she felt when she was with the destroyer.

Breakfast was ready soon after, and the ship girls were mostly awake. They moved tables and chairs around, and the courtyard was quickly filled with people.

With the help of the destroyer, Xiaobai found an empty spot and sat down.

Bismarck and Nia came out of the kitchen one after another, carrying hot porridge and side dishes, and handed the warm breakfast to the ship girls sitting at the table.

After Nia handed her a bowl of porridge, Xiaobai glanced twice in the direction of her room.

After hearing the sound of dinner being served in the middle of the courtyard, Luo Lian and Saratoga finally emerged from their rooms. Warspite, who had been waiting for Luo Lian at the door for a long time, rushed forward upon seeing Luo Lian come out and led Luo Lian and Saratoga to Xiao Bai's side.

"Lianlian, good morning." Xiaobai smiled at Luo Lian and Saratoga. "Saratoga, good morning."

"Good morning..." Saratoga and Luo Lian sat down next to Xiao Bai, looking a little dejected, and gulped down several mouthfuls of the hot porridge in front of them.

"Did you sleep well?" Xiaobai asked.

“Okay.” Luo Lian and Saratoga said in unison.

Sleeping in Xiao Bai's room was out of the question. Luo Lian wasn't sleepy to begin with, and lying in a blanket that smelled of Xiao Bai, taking deep breaths was the priority. Although she couldn't sleep with Xiao Bai, this was still a kind of compensation for Luo Lian.

As for Saratoga, although she didn't sleep much last night, she is a ship girl after all and has plenty of energy. In addition, she was kicked out of bed this morning and her anger hadn't subsided. Although she was in a dilemma and couldn't leave Xiaobai's bed for a while, Saratoga couldn't possibly fall asleep next to Luo Lian.

Heaven knows what kind of mischief Luo Lian will get up to while I'm asleep.

"I see." Xiaobai nodded, then picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge from the bowl in front of her, and put it in her mouth.

Just then, Royal Oak and Volta also came out of their rooms. They stood at their room doors, looking at the ship girls who were gathered in the courtyard, and looked somewhat worried.

"Royal Oak." Little White waved to the Royal Oak at the door of the room, signaling them to come to her.

Royal Oak noticed Little White waving, gave her a grateful look, and then pulled Vulta to Little White's side.

Fubuki made way for the two ship girls, and then Royal Oak and Volta sat down.

"Thank you," Royal Oak said awkwardly to Little White.

For Royal Oak, who had just joined this naval base, interpersonal relationships were indeed a significant issue. Just now, standing at the entrance, Royal Oak looked at the ship girls, each with their own little cliques, and for a moment, she didn't know where she should sit, or even whether she should eat.

"If you can't find a place to sit, you can come here anytime," Little White said to the Royal Oak.

The Royal Oak nodded silently.
