Changchun, sitting blankly in the bathtub, glanced down at Xiaobai.
Little White lay on Changchun's body, fast asleep, its white hair dripping with cool water droplets.
Changchun's blank expression suddenly changed, and he became flustered.
"Oh! I forgot about the Admiral!" Changchun hurriedly stood up from the bathtub with Xiaobai in his arms. With a splash, their two naked bodies jumped onto the floor in the splashing water. Changchun reached out and grabbed a shroud from the bathroom, draped it over Xiaobai's body, and then ran out of the bathroom with Xiaobai in his arms, returning to the living room.
"Even though the admiral has ship equipment, what if he gets sick from staying in such cold water for so long..."
Changchun murmured to himself as he carried Xiaobai to the sofa.
Changchun first took off all of Xiaobai's wet clothes, then picked up the wrapping cloth and carefully and quickly wiped Xiaobai's body, and then carefully rubbed Xiaobai's hair, which was several times thicker after being wet, until it was dry.
After doing all that, Changchun hurriedly ran up to his room, took out a set of pajamas, and helped Xiaobai change into them.
Fortunately, Changchun and Xiaobai's body lengths are not too different, so Xiaobai can wear Changchun's clothes.
It only appears quite loose around the chest and hips.
After changing Xiaobai's pajamas, Changchun looked at Xiaobai's burning face on the sofa, which finally slowly faded to its normal snow-white color. He breathed a sigh of relief, then his legs went weak and he collapsed to the floor with a thud.
Changchun looked down at himself.
Her underwear was completely soaked by the series of diving maneuvers, leaving her drenched and with cold water dripping from her hair.
Changchun looked up at the living room.
The coffee table was pushed in front of the TV. The floor was covered with water stains and footprints. The refrigerator door was open, and the teapot and water cups were spilled on the floor. The yellow oolong tea (flammable) had almost soaked the floor with its smell.
"...It feels...so terrible..." Changchun lowered his head and sighed deeply.
Changchun stood up, feeling somewhat exhausted. He took one last look at Xiaobai, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, then took off his underwear, which was soaked with cold water, behind his back. He closed the refrigerator door, went back to his room to dry himself off, changed into another white sailor suit, and then went back down to the living room.
Back in the living room, Changchun picked up his and Xiaobai's clothes, which were scattered on the floor.
Xiao Bai's admiral's uniform was still dry because it had been taken off earlier and hadn't come into contact with alcohol or cold water. However, all of Xiao Bai's other clothes were ruined. Chang Chun folded the admiral's uniform and placed it on the sofa, then took Xiao Bai's other clothes into the bathroom, started the washing machine, and threw them in.
……
Xiao Bai felt like she had a very, very long dream.
She dreamed that she ate a very, very big piece of cotton candy.
The cotton candy was soft, cool, and sweet, smelling like shampoo. I was enjoying it, but as I ate, the cotton candy suddenly jumped away. While chasing it, I accidentally fell into a patch of cold water. The cool water felt refreshing, but after a while, I felt a little dazed. Finally, the cotton candy grew arms and legs, returned to the edge of the cold water, scooped me out, dried me off, and put me in the sun to bask in the warmth.
—It was a really nonsensical dream.
As Xiaobai gradually regained consciousness, she opened her eyes.
What first caught my eye was an unfamiliar ceiling, with many long crystal pendants hanging from a Chinese-style table lamp in the center.
Ok?
How did I get here?
Where is this?
Xiao Bai kept its eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
Oh right, this is my home in Changchun.
Memories flooded back into Xiaobai's mind like a river flowing upstream. Xiaobai suddenly remembered that she seemed to have come to Changchun's house as a guest today. After Changchun went back to his room to prepare, Xiaobai felt a little thirsty and went to the refrigerator to drink a cup of oolong tea.
That oolong tea was awful; it was so spicy it made my throat hurt and my stomach felt like it was on fire. I had just drunk it and before I could do anything, I felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
And then……
Uh.
And then what happened?
Xiaobai squinted and sat up from the sofa with a puzzled look on her face. She rubbed her temples and looked around in confusion.
in the living room.
Changchun was kneeling on the floor in front of the refrigerator, her pert little bottom sticking out towards the sofa, wiping the floor with a rag.
In the living room, a smell of alcohol that Xiaobai didn't particularly like mingled with the air.
“…Uh…Changchun?” Xiaobai called out to Changchun, who was wiping the floor.
"Huh?!" Changchun, who was kneeling on the floor, froze. She straightened up, clutching the rag, then turned her head and looked at Xiaobai on the bed with a rather puzzled expression. Her voice was very soft and cautious, "Admiral... you... you're awake..."
"Ah... well, let's just say..." Xiaobai rubbed her temples, looking at Changchun with a puzzled expression, "Um... Changchun, what just happened?"
Do not know why.
Xiao Bai felt that Changchun's tone of voice seemed much gentler when he spoke to him at that moment.
Is he waiting to be punished?
It felt like she had done something to betray herself.
"Huh?" Changchun blinked, looking at Xiaobai who looked completely bewildered. "Admiral, don't you know what just happened?"
"...What happened?"
"...You drank the wine I left in the fridge..."
"Ah, that really is alcohol..." Xiaobai covered her face awkwardly. "I'm so sorry... Changchun, you clearly warned me to be careful when handling it... I should have been more careful... Yes, I'm sorry... I didn't cause you any trouble, did I..."
"..." Changchun looked at Xiaobai in silence.
This silence came at just the right time.
This made Xiaobai feel extremely embarrassed.
“…Chang, Changchun?” Xiaobai looked at Changchun with lingering fear.
Changchun looked down at the rag in his palm, then opened his mouth slightly, a strange glint flashing across his face.
"Ah..." Changchun looked up and gave Xiaobai her usual sweet smile. "Hmm! Nothing happened! Although the Admiral accidentally got drunk just now, he has been sleeping soundly on the sofa until now!"
"...Wow. That's great..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and looked at herself. "Uh...why am I wearing pajamas?"
"Ah? Pajamas...sleep...well, because the admiral got alcohol on his clothes when he fell, I took them off and washed them in the bathroom!" Changchun nodded quickly.
"I see... Thank you for your hard work, Changchun." Xiaobai smiled apologetically at Changchun. "Um... I'll be more careful not to take the wrong drink next time. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble."
"Hehe." Changchun squinted at Xiaobai and smiled smugly.
Changchun stood up, opened the refrigerator, took out a glass of juice from the bottom shelf, unzipped it, and handed it to Xiaobai.
"Admiral, this is normal juice without any alcohol." Changchun smiled and handed the cool juice can to Xiaobai with both hands.
"Thank you, Changchun... I was actually quite thirsty..."
Xiao Bai smiled and reached out to grab the juice from Changchun.
Xiao Bai's fingertips gently touched Chang Chun's fingertips.
then.
A strange feeling arose in Xiaobai's heart.
This feeling made Xiaobai's heart soften a little, and his limbs felt a bit weak.
"?" Xiaobai subconsciously withdrew her hand, looking at the juice can in Changchun's hand with some surprise.
"Admiral? What's wrong?" Changchun asked.
"Huh? Uh... I don't know either, but..." Xiaobai looked up at Changchun strangely, then her gaze froze.
Changchun was holding a juice jug, looking at himself with some concern.
On her fair and lovely face, Changchun had delicate eyebrows, big, bright eyes, and even pretty pink lips. Her features combined to create a pure and lovely look with a touch of feminine charm.
--Feel.
—Changchun seems to have become more adorable?
Xiao Bai looked at Changchun's face strangely, but Changchun's face was indeed no different from before.
But I don’t know why.
Looking at Changchun's face, Xiaobai's heart started beating a little faster than usual.
It seems... it's not that Changchun has become more adorable.
Or is it that I personally find Changchun more endearing?
A strange yet familiar feeling, like a fountain, overflowed uncontrollably.
After pondering for a long time, Xiaobai slowly reached out and took the juice can from Changchun again.
Changchun withdrew his hands.
"Changchun, could you please keep reaching out your hand?"
"Hmm? Okay." Changchun held his hands in front of Xiaobai.
Xiaobai reached out a hand and gently grasped Changchun's palm, then intertwined their fingers and held hands tightly together.
"...Admiral?" Changchun was somewhat surprised and also a little embarrassed.
"...Hmm...Changchun..." Xiaobai felt the warmth from Changchun's hand. "Hmm...Come to think of it, we seem to have known each other for a long time, right?"
"Huh? Hmm... I met you, Admiral, on my first day back at the naval base after my renovation."
"Back then, Changchun, you still mistook me for a new ship girl."
"Uh...yes, I'm sorry..."
"It's nothing. It would be strange if you saw me and thought I was the admiral." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun. "Um... Changchun."
"Ok?"
"During the time we spent together... well, even though you're a destroyer, you've actually been the one taking care of me, so I've caused you trouble in various ways... I'm sorry."
"It's nothing, Admiral."
"Ahem, so I'm saying, Changchun."
"Ok?"
"Well... what I mean is..." Xiaobai organized her thoughts, then slightly tightened her grip on Changchun's hand, which was intertwined with hers, and looked at Changchun's face. "Changchun, do you want a wedding ring?"
"..." Changchun.
written request for leave
During the seven-day National Day holiday, many relatives went back to their hometowns, and I had to go out with my parents to visit them one by one, so I really didn't have time to write.
Sorry, I'll be taking a day off.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, due to reasons such as visiting friends and relatives, the updates in the following days may not be consistently at 4:30 pm due to personnel changes, but I will try my best to stop delaying updates starting tomorrow.
mua~
Love you guys
Chapter 1403 I'll Confront Him First
The atmosphere between Changchun and Xiaobai froze the moment Xiaobai finished speaking.
Changchun remained with his hand clasped with Xiaobai's, mouth agape, staring blankly at Xiaobai, momentarily only blinking and forgetting to reply immediately.
Finally, Changchun reacted after a moment of confusion.
"Huh?" A bewildered surprise escaped Changchun's throat. Changchun's five fingers unconsciously clenched, squeezing Xiaobai's hand tightly. "Admiral... what did you just say?"
"Uh... wedding ring?" Xiaobai looked at Changchun's startled face and thought she had frightened him. She smiled timidly and thought for a moment, "Well... what I just said was, Changchun, do you want a wedding ring?"
"What does 'wedding ring' mean...?"
"It's about the wedding ship, you know." Xiaobai lowered her head and smiled shyly. "Well... you see, we've known each other for a long time. I've known you, Changchun, since the second day I became an admiral. We often go on expeditions together and spend a lot of time together. Although our relationship isn't exactly one of taking care of the other, I feel like I really like you, Changchun. We're at least close friends, so as an admiral, I should value the bond with the ship girls. I think I should give it to you, Changchun..."
Xiao Bai was speaking.
Suddenly, I felt a faint dragging sensation in my palm.
Little White looked up.
Changchun remained clenching his fists, his entire body seemingly exhausted, his center of gravity slowly shifting downwards on the smooth floor until he finally sat down on the ground.
"Huh? Changchun?" Xiaobai quickly stood up. "Uh... Changchun, you don't want the ring? No... it's okay. Um, if I cause you any trouble, please don't mind, I..."
Xiaobai hadn't finished speaking yet.
