Elder brother's garrison

“That’s right… how can a child stay in this mood all the time?” Lexington said, rubbing her cheek and looking at Shiro, who was slumped on the table like a vegetable, with a worried expression. “I hope Shiro will cheer up when Akashi comes later.”

“Akashi?” The Prince of Wales turned his head.

"Ah."

"You mean that green catgirl?"

“It’s her,” Lexington said with a smile. “Are you familiar with Akashi, Wales?”

“I’ve been to her shop before.” Seemingly not wanting to linger too long on her conversation with Akashi, Wales began, “Can Akashi cheer up the Admiral?”

"It's hard to say... but it should be possible." Lexington nodded.

Lexington had just gotten to this point.

It seems to confirm Lexington's words.

Suddenly, the door to the admiral's office was pushed open.

A green catgirl with blue flames on her head ran into the house carrying a colorful ring box.

"Commander! The ring you asked Akashi to make is finished thanks to her hard work, meow!" Akashi shouted to Shiro, who was lying on the table, holding up the ring box.

They heard Akashi's shout.

One second Xiaobai was wasting his life lying on the table, the next second he seemed to have been injected with several stimulants, and he jumped up from the table, his eyes shining as he looked at Akashi.

"Akashi! Is the ring finished yet?!" Shiro asked Akashi excitedly.

"Yes, meow! Because Lexington has to pay extra... cough cough, because I thought the Commander really needed the ring, so Akashi has been working extra hard, meow!" Akashi ran up to Shiro with the ring box in her hand and handed it to him. "Commander, come and take a look, meow!"

"Thank you, Akashi!" Shiro accepted Akashi's ring box with a happy smile, and then carefully opened it.

Inside the ring box, a beautiful silver-white ring shone brightly.

"Ah! It's beautiful!"

"Hmph, Akashi's craftsmanship is amazing, meow! No ship girl can resist Akashi's products, meow!" Akashi gently pushed the ring box. "Commander, please give this to Miss Changchun, meow."

"Thank you, Akashi!" Shiro picked up Akashi's ring box and looked at Lexington with a cautious expression.

Lexington smiled and waved, indicating to Xiaobai not to mind the work.

"Thank you, Lexington! I'll be right back!" Little White ran out of the office with the ring box in his arms.

"As expected of Little White, he recovered so quickly." Lexington smiled at the Prince of Wales as he looked at the open office door.

"The Admiral sent a wedding ring to Changchun?" The Prince of Wales tilted his head.

"Yeah."

When did you decide to send it?

"yesterday."

"...Did I tell you?"

"Yes!"

"...We don't think we've heard of this before," the Prince of Wales said, looking inquiring.

“Of course, because only Xiaobai and I know,” Lexington said with a frank smile.

"...Why didn't you tell us?" the Prince of Wales sighed.

“Sometimes I want to be a secret informant too,” Lexington said with an innocent smile.

"..." Prince of Wales.

"hey-hey."

"You don't actually want to see our surprised expressions, do you?"

“No way, Wales. We’re best buddies.” Lexington smiled and leaned her face closer.

"..." The Prince of Wales shook his head, patted Lexington's head helplessly, and turned away.

"Wales, where are you going?"

“Go home,” the Prince of Wales waved his hand. “Then ask Hood to bake a cake.”

Chapter 1413 Keep Warm (5000 words)

Changchun's ring is the only item that can get Xiaobai excited right now. Xiaobai excitedly hugged the ring he got from Mingshi and ran out of the office building, heading straight for the destroyer's dormitory building.

I ran upstairs, and the door of my Changchun home was right in front of me.

Xiao Bai knew that Changchun's house was always unlocked because the host was hospitable, so as soon as Xiao Bai stepped into Changchun's door, he couldn't wait to pull the doorknob.

however.

There was a thud.

Xiao Bai felt a resistance from the doorknob in Changchun.

Changchun actually locked his own door today.

"Huh?" Xiaobai stared at the doorknob with curiosity, scratching his head in confusion. "Did Changchun...lock the door today?"

Xiao Bai reached out and pressed the doorbell of Changchun's house.

The ringing sound echoed in the corridor.

Xiao Bai stood at the door of his home in Changchun for a while, but there was no response from inside the house.

"Eh?"

Xiao Bai was puzzled, then reached out and pressed the doorbell again.

This time, someone finally opened the door.

But not in Changchun.

The sound of a door opening rang out from the doorway of another room near Changchun's home.

Then two small heads with black hair and white faces popped out from behind the door of Changchun's house, one above the other.

The two little heads looked curiously toward the entrance of Changchun's house, and both of them were stunned when they saw Xiaobai.

"Oh? It's the Admiral."

The little head at the bottom exclaimed in surprise.

"Admiral, are you looking for Changchun?"

A small head poked out and a tiny white hand covered its mouth as it asked a question.

"Ah...you are Ying Rui and Zhao He?"

Xiaobai looked at the two little girl ship girls who looked like rag dolls, somewhat surprised.

"...Excuse me, did my doorbell disturb you?"

There are many ship girls in the newbie naval base, so it is inevitable that the ship girls will have different levels of closeness with the admiral. They are divided into two groups: those who are more familiar with the newbie and those who are more distant.

For example...

Changchun and Fubuki are ship girls who basically spend all their time with Shiro whenever Shiro is in the naval base and has nothing to do. On the other hand, Lingbo and Xinzhi are ship girls who rarely have contact with Shiro because they are often away on expeditions.

Of course, the amount of time spent together does not necessarily indicate the degree of affection.

Many ship girls don't spend much time with Shiro, which doesn't mean they dislike her. It's simply because they're lazy or don't want to interfere with the admiral's normal life and rest. In reality, everyone in this naval base is a Shiro fan.

The two women, Ying Rui and Zhao He, who are now opening the door and speaking to me, belong to the latter group.

Since Xiaobai became the admiral, apart from meeting these two at the welcome party and exchanging a few words with them, he has hardly ever actually met them.

"No, Admiral."

Ying Rui and Zhao He both looked quite pleased after hearing Xiao Bai call their names.

Ying Rui and Zhao He waved gently at Xiao Bai and reminded him, "If the admiral is looking for Chang Chun, Chang Chun's door is usually unlocked. You can go in even without ringing the doorbell."

"Uh... um, thank you for reminding me... but it seems like the door to my house in Changchun is locked today."

As Xiao Bai spoke, he gently twisted the doorknob of Changchun and demonstrated it to Ying Ruizhao.

"Hey...did you lock the door today?" Ying Rui and Zhao He looked up and down at each other, their faces full of surprise. "Normally, Changchun wouldn't lock the door even if she wasn't home."

"That's what I'm saying..." Xiaobai also looked worried and concerned, "Could it be that I did something to upset Changchun...?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, Admiral. Changchun is the type who will openly say what's on her mind even when she's angry." Zhaohe smiled at Xiaobai. "Maybe Changchun went out today, and there's some unspeakable secret at home that she doesn't want others to see, or something like that."

"What secret?"

"Who knows? If I knew, it wouldn't be a secret." Zhao He shrugged. "It can't be that Changchun is reading your dirty little book, Admiral."

"Uh... I see." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.

After saying this, Xiao Bai thought for a while, then activated the Admiral Network and ventured into the house to get a feel for the interior of Changchun.

The governor's network passed through the security doors of Changchun and quickly spread throughout the interior of the city.

really.

There was no reaction from any of the ship girls at home.

As Zhaohe said, Changchun is not home today.

After retrieving the Admiral Network, Xiaobai smiled gratefully at Zhao.

"Thank you, Zhaohe. It seems you were right; Changchun doesn't seem to be home today."

“Changchun usually doesn’t stay at her own house or ours; she goes to Chuixue’s house to play,” Ying Rui said to Xiaobai with a smile. “If she’s not at Chuixue’s house, then she’s probably at Yixian’s house.”

"Is he with Yixian?"

"Hmm. It seems that Sister Yixian has been teaching Changchun how to knit recently."

"I see!" Xiaobai smiled at Ying Rui and Zhao He. "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Ying Rui and Zhao He gave Xiao Bai an innocent smile. "Helping the admiral is what ship girls should do—but speaking of which, admiral, what brings you to Chang Chun?"

"Oh, this. Well, the ring I ordered just finished, so I came to deliver it to Changchun and also to invite her to my house for dinner tonight, so she can get to know the Missouri and Yamato sisters as a married couple." Xiaobai scratched his head shyly and smiled at Ying Rui and Zhao He.

"..." Ying Rui and Zhao He stared at Xiao Bai, mouths agape, "...Eh? Changchun? A wedding ship?"

"Yes, it's Changchun," Xiaobai said with an embarrassed smile. "Oh, by the way, speaking of which, Ying Ruizhao and you are also good friends from Changchun, right? If you don't mind, would you like to come to our house for dinner tonight?"

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he waited for Ying Rui and Zhao He's reply.

Ying Rui stared blankly at Xiao Bai, her dark eyes wide open, her petite body trembling.

"The... the admiral actually... actually made a move against... against the lovely little Changchun..."

Ying Rui spoke with trembling hands, his face turning pale and somewhat unreadable.

"Ying Rui?" Xiao Bai looked at Ying Rui in confusion.

"Oh dear!" Zhao He quickly reached out and pressed Ying Rui's head back into the room, then smiled at Xiao Bai, "Well, Admiral, don't worry about Ying Rui, she's just a little surprised. Anyway, it's tonight, right? We'll go to the Admiral's house! Admiral, go find Changchun now!"

"Oh? Oh, oh..." Xiaobai nodded, then waved to Zhao He, who was pressing Ying Rui's head behind him. "So, Ying Rui, Zhao He... see you tonight?"

"Bye-bye, Admiral! We'll definitely come if we're free! See you tonight!"

Zhao He waved his arm with a smile.

Seeing Zhao He's reply to Ying Rui, Xiao Bai left with a sense of relief, though she still had some doubts.

Xiao Bai left the corridor.

Watching Xiaobai's disappearing figure, Zhaohe finally breathed a sigh of relief and released his grip on Yingrui's head.

Ying Rui lost Zhao He's control and fell onto Zhao He's back with a thud.

"Wow... I never expected that Changchun would become the admiral's marriage ship. How sudden."

Zhao He pulled the doorknob, muttering to himself, still somewhat shaken.

"The world has changed so much, Ying Rui. Just the day before yesterday, we were teasing Changchun, calling her the admiral's little wife, and now she's really become a wedding ship."

"Could it be that the Admiral... used dirty tricks... to force Xiao Changchun? If so... then..."

Ying Rui spoke tremblingly, and slowly pulled out a gleaming kitchen knife from who-knows-where.

"Hey! Ying Rui, what are you doing!"

"If that's the case... if that's the case, even if it's the admiral, even if it's everyone's most respected admiral, to save Xiao Changchun... then I must..."
