Elder brother's garrison

Page 539

To be honest, Missouri is a little scared now.

Missouri, feeling a little frustrated, nudged her head against Saratoga's back.

That's enough.

That's enough for now. The rest can be done tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even next year, the year after that, or even another fifty years from now.

I no longer need to worry.

Because the admiral was right beside him.

Memories may fade and become blurred over time, but new memories can fuel emotions, keeping the flame in your heart burning and rising.

As Missouri pondered this, a slight smile crept onto her lips.

Missouri gradually drifted off to sleep.

Little White, embraced by Saratoga, seemed like firewood that had burned out, closing her eyes in exhaustion. She snuggled into Saratoga's arms twice and then fell asleep peacefully.

In the quiet room, the even breathing sounds, like a faint melody, echoed quietly in the air.

Saratoga, wide awake, stared at the ceiling, her body stiff as she looked at the little white creature in her arms, inhaling its scent and feeling Missouri's hands reaching out from behind her.

—The feeling that I am feeling right now is that I am too excited to sleep, and I have a subtle feeling that I am being used as a comfort tool and a pillow.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Nia's courtyard was bustling with activity once again.

Nia left the room to wash up and wash vegetables. The ship girls ran out of the door, and the yard gradually filled with their voices.

At this moment, Luo Lian and Yan Zhan also walked out of the room.

Luo Lian stretched and yawned as she glanced at the courtyard.

Constellation was squatting at the door of his room, scratching his head and staring at the gate of the yard.

Luo Lian looked at the constellations.

The constellation staring at the door is probably waiting for someone to come back.

Constellation and Saratoga live together. It's so early in the morning, and everyone is getting up. If Constellation, a new ship girl, wants to find someone, she can only ask Saratoga, who lives with her.

This suggests that Saratoga likely left in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night—speaking of which, Saratoga witnessed the Royal Oak sleeping with Little White just yesterday morning.

Luo Lian looked at the constellation squatting at the door of her house, and a series of thoughts flashed through her mind.

Then, Luo Lian stopped in her tracks.

"Admiral? What's wrong?" Warspite looked at Luo Lian, who had suddenly stopped, and asked her with some confusion.

Luo Lian's expression was quite serious and focused. She quickly changed direction and headed straight for Xiao Bai's room.

"Catch the cat that steals fish."

Chapter 734 One more wouldn't hurt

Before Warspite could even grasp the meaning of Luo Lian's words, Luo Lian had already marched headlong to Xiao Bai's room.

Somewhat bewildered, Yan Zhan glanced in the direction Luo Lian had been looking and saw only a constellation of people squatting on the steps.

"Are constellations really that strange?" Warspite murmured, following Luo Lian with some doubt.

Luo Lian then pulled down the doorknob of Xiao Bai's room. With a soft turning sound of the wooden door, Luo Lian pushed the door open and entered.

Compared to the slightly noisy courtyard, Xiaobai's room was very quiet, dimly lit, and had a dry, pleasant scent.

Luo Lian glanced around the back of the room a few times, then ran to the bulging bed in a few steps. She reached out, grabbed the corner of the blanket, and with a whoosh, pulled the blanket off halfway.

Wearing only underwear, Saratoga lay half-asleep under the covers, her eyes half-closed. In her arms, her little white cat, curled up in a ball, slept peacefully like a kitten.

"Admiral—it's not time to wake Admiral Lu Lin yet—Eek!?" Warspite followed Luo Lian in. She thought Luo Lian was just there to wake Xiao Bai up. She reminded Luo Lian while subconsciously glancing at Xiao Bai's bed.

Then Warspite saw Saratoga on the bed.

Warspite blinked, pointed at Saratoga, and looked at Luo Lian: "Uh... was this also within your calculations, Admiral?"

"Hmm." Luo Lian nodded expressionlessly.

How did you know?

"Because the constellations outside are sitting on the steps."

"Just this???" Warspite asked in a low voice, somewhat surprised.

"We'll talk about the explanation tonight." Luo Lian sighed and looked at Warspite. "Warspite, close the door."

"Oh, oh, oh." Warspite quickly took a few steps back, held onto the door handle, and slowly closed the door.

After the door was opened, waves of noise from the courtyard poured into the room. Saratoga was fine, but it wouldn't do if it disturbed Little White's sleep.

War-weary closed the door, and once it was closed, the sounds in the courtyard seemed to be greatly reduced, as if separated by a membrane.

Warspite breathed a slight sigh of relief, then turned to look at Luo Lian.

Then, Warspite saw Luo Lian, who was completely naked, neatly folding the clothes she had taken off and placing them on the stool next to the bed.

Warspite was so frightened that he almost screamed out loud.

"Admiral...you..." Warspite looked at Luo Lian, unable to suppress the shock in her heart, "What are you doing?"

"Get ready for bed."

"Huh???" Warspite exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, why are you, Admiral..."

"You mean the reason I can take off my clothes so quickly? Well, it's because I've trained." Luo Lian said to Warspite expressionlessly, "By the way, folding them like this makes it even faster to put them on."

"Oh...I see." Warspite nodded in sudden understanding, then quickly shook his head. "Wait a minute, that's not what I was asking!"

"So what are you asking?"

War-weary pointed at Luo Lian.

Luo Lian looked down at the spot where Yan Zhan was pointing.

There was Luo Lian's slightly immature chest.

"If you're talking about my development, I'm just at the average level of a sixteen-year-old girl's physical development in today's society."

"I didn't say that!" Warspite now suspected that Luo Lian was deliberately changing the subject. "Why were you preparing to sleep in Admiral Lu Lin's room?"

"Because, Xiaobai is right here!" Luo Lian said solemnly, clenching her fist at Warspite.

"What kind of cool statement is that?!" Warspite really felt that her admiral was a pervert in the guise of a young girl. "Why is Admiral Lu Lin's presence a reason for you to sleep?!"

"Of course, it's because we're best friends for life!" Luo Lian said with an incredibly innocent smile to Yan Zhan.

This innocent expression might deceive someone meeting Luo Lian for the first time, but for Warspite, who was concerned about the true nature of her admiral, this smile would only increase her suspicions.

Luo Lian seemed to know this too, but unfortunately, Luo Lian's skin was as thick as a city wall. Despite the strong doubts and protests from Zhan Yan, Luo Lian still climbed into Xiao Bai's bed.

She lifted the blanket on the other side of Little White's body, and through Little White, she shoved Saratoga to the other side of the bed, then took Saratoga's place and crawled into Little White's blankets.

Warspite stood there, looking at the three people on the bed, and for some reason, a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

"Ugh... ugh..." Just then, Saratoga, who had been pushed to the other side of the bed, was probably not sleeping very deeply, or perhaps because she felt herself leaving the warm blankets. She shrugged her shoulders and quickly opened her eyes in a daze.

Saratoga got up from the bedside and looked around in confusion.

Saratoga really didn't sleep well last night. After all, with Whitey and Missouri sandwiching her from the front and back, Saratoga couldn't even change her sleeping position. In addition, the strange excitement of successfully sneaking up on Whitey for the first time and sleeping skin-to-skin with him kept Saratoga up until dawn, and she only felt sleepy when the sun rose.

How long did I sleep?

Saratoga scratched his head in a daze, then subconsciously glanced towards the bedside.

Dressed in red, the war-wearing woman stood silently before him like a female ghost.

"Ah!!!" Saratoga screamed instinctively, and she jumped up from the bed, rolling backward several times before stopping.

"Hahaha..." Warspite looked at Saratoga with a subtle expression, then waved to her, "Good morning, Saratoga..."

"...Warspite?" Saratoga stared at Warspite for a while before asking with some skepticism.

"correct."

"Not a female ghost?"

"I'm hurt, I'm really hurt," Warspite said, covering her face.

“…” Saratoga finally breathed a sigh of relief, scratching her head as she examined the scene on the bed.

I don't know when I rolled out of the blankets and onto the edge of the bed. Now the blankets are bulging, and I guess Xiaobai and Missouri are still inside.

Saratoga was somewhat puzzled.

She remembered that she was a pretty good sleeping person, and her older sister often said that she looked like a delicate doll when she was asleep, not moving much. How could she have rolled so far away?

Saratoga crawled back into bed and, still somewhat drowsy, lifted the covers.

Inside the blanket, Luo Lian, completely naked, was holding Xiao Bai, covering Xiao Bai's ears with both hands. The scene looked incredibly peaceful and quiet for a moment.

Saratoga glanced at Warspite, who was standing at the head of the bed, giving her a wry smile.

Saratoga always felt as if he understood a lot of things.

After figuring it out, Saratoga glared at Luo Lian with burning anger.

Even Missouri wouldn't dare kick me out of bed, so who do you think you are, an outsider!

Saratoga angrily reached out and lifted Luo Lian up, then stood up and lifted Luo Lian directly from next to Xiao Bai into the air.

"I'm not the Lion King, why are you lifting me up like this?" Luo Lian was definitely not asleep. After being lifted up, Luo Lian sighed helplessly and murmured to Saratoga.

"What are you doing here!" Saratoga asked, pouting.

"Go to sleep, or wait for the bus?" Luo Lian stared back at Saratoga without backing down.

Speaking of which, Saratoga and Luo Lian's relationship didn't seem to be very good from the beginning.

The human and the ship girl stared at each other, and for a moment, sparks seemed to crackle in the air where their gazes met.

Saratoga stared at Luo Lian, his gaze gradually shifting from Luo Lian's face to her body.

Luo Lian's body is naturally not as well-developed as that of the ship girls. Although she can be considered to have a curvy figure, it is also clear that in two years Luo Lian will be a young lady with a slim waist, long legs, and a fairly large bust. However, no matter what, she is still a little girl who has not yet grown up. To put it nicely, her figure is a reserved, streamlined type; to put it bluntly, it is a wavy, washboard-like figure.

In short, it certainly can't compare to Saratoga, which reached its peak in every aspect.

Saratoga wore a "I won" smile.

"Your gaze is quite rude." Luo Lian could, of course, see the contempt a superior being held for a lower being in Saratoga's eyes.

“Damn washboard,” Saratoga said.

“Golden cow,” Luo Lian retorted.

The two stared at each other, neither willing to yield, and just when Warspite thought things were about to get really bad, suddenly, the door to Xiaobai's room was pushed open again.

Bismarck, carrying a ladle and wearing an apron, poked her head in with a frosty expression, staring at Saratoga and Lorelei by the bedside.

Sensing Bismarck's gaze, and seemingly sensing a hint of anger within it, Sarasonga immediately put Luo Lian down and obediently knelt on the bed.

Luo Lian, who had been put down, quickly sat back on the bed and quieted down.

“Bismarck… Bismarck…” Warspite quickly looked at Bismarck, waving her hand as she said, “Um, let me explain, it’s…”

"No need to say anything more." Bismarck shook the ladle in her hand, then stared at the little white dog in the middle of the bed.

Little White didn't seem to be awakened by Saratoga and Luo Lian's conversation and was still sleeping soundly.

"Quiet," Bismarck coldly warned Saratoga and Lorelei in the room. "If you speak again, get out."

After saying that, Bismarck's head was removed, and the door slowly closed.

Warspite stared blankly at the closed door.

War-weary always feels like he has a million complaints to vent, but for some reason, he can't say anything.

Chapter 735 Little White, Gradually Losing the Ability to Turn Back

It seems Bismarck doesn't mind at all that there are two girls in Xiaobai's bed. On the contrary, Bismarck's focus even shifts to whether Xiaobai's sleep quality will be affected.

Is this normal?

After thinking for a while, War-weary felt that it seemed both quite abnormal and quite normal.

Just as Warspite was lost in thought, Saratoga and Luo Lian on the bed exchanged a glance.
