Elder brother's garrison

Page 1814

Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, the ship girls and the Dean of the Deep Sea all shuddered. They immediately stood up straight and bowed to Xiaobai's mother as if welcoming a leader.

"Hello Auntie!"

"What a lovely group of girls." Mama Bai let go of Xiao Bai, cupped her cheeks, and came to the ship girls. She took each ship girl's little hands and rubbed them gently, then embraced the ship girls in her arms just as she had doted on Xiao Bai. "Xiao Bai said that you are all very, very close to her. So, we are family now."

"oh oh……"

"Um..."

"Mmm..."

White Mother's wife and mother attributes are a genuine and real dimensional suppression. For the ship girls present, White Mother's embrace is like a great magic, making the ship girls who have experienced that feeling momentarily absent-minded and with dazed eyes.

"Hmm, this girl looks familiar..." Bai's mother, still holding her child, approached Lu Ming. She looked at the girl curiously, then her gaze faltered. "Wait...whose face is this...? Huh? Huh?? Huh??"

"Hello." Lu Ming bowed to Xiao Bai's mother.

"Luming! You are a deer..."

"Mom! Wait, shh!" Little White quickly grabbed her mother's hand, signaling her to be quiet.

"Oh, oh oh..." Mother Bai covered her mouth, but still looked at Lu Ming with a surprised expression.

“Miss Luming is our friend, she’s not my ship girl. There’s a special reason why she came back with us this time… Anyway, she’ll be spending the New Year with us this year, is that okay?” Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"Yes, of course!" Mother Bai stared intently at Lu Ming's face, clasped her hands together, and gave him a welcoming smile that was almost identical to that of Xiao Bai.

Chapter 2501 The Many Ship Girls

As a top-tier movie star who enjoys worldwide fame, Lu Ming is naturally recognized by Bai's mother.

"Mom, there are too many people around here. Please don't shout out Miss Luming's name loudly." Xiaobai tugged at her mother's sleeve, whispering a warning to her with lingering fear. "If passersby hear us, the consequences will be terrible."

"I understand, I understand!" Bai's mother nodded as she listened to Xiaobai's words.

Xiao Bai let go of his mother's sleeve with relief.

With a joyful smile, Mama Bai turned her gaze back to Lu Ming.

"I never expected my daughter to bring home such a surprise for the New Year this year." Mrs. Bai stepped forward, looked around, and then carefully lowered her voice to ask Lu Ming, "Miss Lu Ming, what is your relationship with my daughter?"

"Auntie, we are good friends." Lu Ming bowed slightly to Bai's mother and answered politely.

"Oh! That's great!" Bai's mother put her hands together and asked Lu Ming happily, "When we get home, could you take a picture with me when you have some free time?"

“Of course.” Lu Ming nodded.

Madam Bai smiled contentedly at Lu Ming, then turned her gaze to Lexington beside him.

Lexington has remained surprisingly silent since Mother White appeared, standing quietly in her original spot, watching her with a peculiar gaze.

When Mama White's gaze fell upon Lexington, Lexington smiled slightly at her and bowed.

"Hello auntie."

"Oh dear... she seems like a very special child..." Looking at Lexington, Mrs. White seemed to sense something unique about her from her demeanor. She walked up to Lexington and gently took her hand. "What's your name? The way you look at me seems a little different from the other girls."

“Auntie, my name is Lexington.” Lexington obediently let Mrs. White rub her palm, and then added, “I am Saratoga’s sister.”

“Oh? Saratoga! So that means we’re related…” Upon hearing Saratoga’s name, Mrs. White’s face immediately lit up with joy. She was about to speak when she suddenly felt a strange, hard texture in her hand. Looking down at Lexington’s hand, she saw the diamond ring on Lexington’s ring finger and was startled. “Eh… this ring…”

“Mom, Lexington is my sister-in-law,” Xiaobai reminded her from the side.

"Sister-in-law...wait? You, you are—" Mrs. Bai exclaimed, her gaze lingering on Lexington, and asked with a worried expression, "But, but I remember Saratoga also...wouldn't that be considered bigamy...?"

"The situation between the admiral and the ship girl is a bit special..." Xiaobai said to Bai's mother, "The relationship between people is marriage, but the relationship between people and ship girls is a vow."

"Is that so?" Bai's mother looked at Xiaobai in surprise.

"That's how it is," Xiaobai nodded, then continued apologetically to his mother, "This is quite a phenomenon in our admiral circle..."

"Oh... well, in that case..." As expected of a mother with exceptionally high acceptance, after Xiao Bai's brief explanation, although some doubts remained in her eyes, she didn't dwell on it anymore. She simply nodded to Lexington, then revealed a loving smile, "No wonder you look at me differently from the other girls. So you're also Lu Yun's child... um..."

"The wedding ship," Lexington said gently, looking at Madam White.

"Oh right, the wedding ship." Mother Bai nodded with a smile. "I never imagined that Lu Yun would have two daughters behind our backs."

“Actually, there are more than two,” Lexington said with a smile.

"ah?"

"Akagi." Lexington turned around and waved to Akagi in the crowd. "Your aunt is here, why aren't you coming out yet?"

A commotion arose among the ship girls.

The ship girls automatically parted to make way for Akagi, who was standing in the center of the crowd.

Akagi looked somewhat uneasy. She carefully walked up to Mama Shiro and bowed deeply to her.

"Auntie... Auntie, hello. My name is Akagi..."

"You...you too?" Bai's mother's gaze fell on the ring on Chicheng's hand.

"Yes." Akagi rarely showed a guilty expression.

"..." Looking at Akagi's expression, Mama Shiro thought for a while, then suddenly smiled helplessly at everyone, "You ship girls... there are really a lot of things that are hard to understand."

Bai's mother stepped forward, gently rubbed Chicheng's head, and smiled at her.

“That boy Lu Yun is so indecisive, even when it comes to important matters in life. It’s really hard for you girls not to complain about him.” Mother Bai said to Chicheng, “Girl, from now on we’re family, so don’t be so formal. If you want to call me Mom, then call me Mom. If you want to call me Auntie, then call me Auntie.”

"Mom!" Fubuki, who was standing nearby, suddenly raised her hands and called out.

When Bai Mama heard Fubuki's call, she looked down at Fubuki and suddenly smiled.

"Sweet little girl, why are you calling me mom too?"

"Report, Mom! I'm a wedding ship too!" Fubuki skipped and hopped, reaching out to pull out two rings hanging from her neck with crystal cords from her collar. Then, as if showing them off, she held them up to her mother, "Look!"

Fubuki's two rings shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

"..." Bai's mother stared blankly at Chuixue's petite body and young face.

Even Bai's mother, who has an extremely high capacity for learning, gradually felt that her brain's computing power was not enough at this time.

……

An hour.

Xiao Bai and her friends returned to Xiao Bai's house with her mother.

"So that's how it is. Fubuki's ring was a toy Lu Yun gave her..." Mrs. Bai breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart. "I was so scared. I was wondering why Lu Yun, who seemed so proper, would hurt a child..."

"Well... hahaha..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, smiling a little embarrassedly at his mother.

"Never mind, it's a good thing no matter what." Mama Bai shook her head, took a deep breath, then stopped in front of Xiao Bai's house, turned around and smiled at the ship girls behind her, "Girls, welcome to our home!"

"Oh oh oh!!!" The ship girls couldn't help but applaud as they looked at the two-story villa behind Mother White.

The ship girls finally got to see Shiro's home.

Xiaobai's home is a white two-story villa with a separate courtyard around it, where colorful flowers and plants are planted, making it look particularly cozy.

Mother Bai led everyone into the courtyard, and she took out her key to open the door.

"Girls, you must be tired from your journey. Come in!" Mother Bai said with a smile, pulling on the doorknob and pointing inside.

"Thank you, Auntie!!"

The ship girls' eyes lit up when they saw the gate open, and they filed in one after another.

"I want to visit the Admiral's house!"

"The Admiral's bedroom, hehe, I want to see the Admiral's bedroom!"

"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"..."

The ship girls poured into the room in a flurry.

"Me too! I'll be your guide!" Enterprise held up the sign, pretending to follow the ship girls into the house.

But before the company could even step into the room, a snow-white arm reached out from the side and grabbed the company's ear.

"Oh no!" the company cried out in despair.

"Enterprise!" Yorktown grabbed Enterprise's ear with one hand and put his other hand on his hip, looking like he was about to settle scores. "You don't think I'll pretend that you secretly ran away from Cloud City and caused trouble for the Admiral's family this time never happened, do you?"

"Whoa, Yorktown sister—"

"It seems I've been too lenient with you lately. Come on, let's find a quiet place. I need to give you a good lesson on the regulations of our garrison!" Without saying another word, Yorktown pulled Enterprise to a corner of the yard.

"Admiral—Admiral Mom—save me—" Enterprise pitifully reached out to Whitey and Whitey's mother, but before the two could react, Enterprise and Yorktown disappeared around a corner in the courtyard.

"Oh no?" Looking in the direction where the company had disappeared, Bai's mother looked at Xiaobai with some concern. "Xiaobai? Will the company girl be alright?"

"It's alright, this is just a way for ship girls to express their affection," Xiaobai said with a smile to her mother.

"Oh, I see... But, Xiaobai, you should explain things to that slightly fierce girl." Bai's mother said to Xiaobai with a sense of loss, "The girl from the company didn't cause me any trouble. She's very obedient. When you weren't back for a while, she stayed by my side every day to keep me company, watch TV with me, and chat with me. She even helped me carry and pick out groceries when we went to the market. Before, when I accidentally lost my house keys and almost couldn't get home, it was this girl from the company who helped me find them. She was a great help."

"Uh... I'll pass on the message to Mom." Xiaobai nodded quickly.

"That puts my mind at ease." Hearing this, Mrs. Bai finally smiled with relief. "Then let's go inside quickly."

Just as Mrs. Bai was about to enter the room, another voice called out to her.

"Auntie, may I bother you for a moment?"

Hearing the voice, Mrs. White stopped and looked back, only to see Missouri standing behind her with a charming smile, looking like she had something to say.

Chapter 2502 Following Mom and Dad

Ever since Missouri greeted Mama White once, she seemed to have been intentionally or unintentionally lagging behind the group.

Missouri's appearance and temperament are among the most outstanding, even among ship girls. However, because they hadn't had much interaction before, White Mother's impression of Missouri remained at the level of "an ordinary ship girl who is exceptionally beautiful".

At this moment, seeing that Missouri, who was at the back of the group, did not enter the house but instead called out to her mysteriously, Mrs. Bai became a little curious.

“This young lady… if I remember correctly, her name is Missouri, right?” Mrs. White nodded and smiled at Missouri. “Why did you suddenly stop me? Is there something you wanted to say?”

"Missouri had heard about Auntie's hobbies from the Admiral, so she secretly prepared some snacks before coming to visit." Missouri bowed politely to Madam White, then took out an exquisitely wrapped gift box from her ship equipment space and presented it with a smile. "If Auntie doesn't mind, how about this gift serves as Missouri's greeting to you?"

"So kind of you?" Hearing Missouri's words, Mrs. Bai smiled and looked at the gift box in Missouri's hand. "Sneaking a gift to me behind so many friends' backs, that's a little cunning, isn't it—wait a minute?"

Mrs. White had only spoken halfway when her gaze stopped on Missouri's palm.

Only then did Mrs. White notice that Missouri was also wearing a ring on her ring finger.

"Are you like Lexington and Akagi?" Mrs. White looked at Missouri with slight surprise. "Why didn't you come out just now..."

“No, I’m sorry, Missouri has never met Admiral Lu Yun.” Missouri shook her head slightly and explained to Madam Bai, “Missouri was brought into this world by your daughter, Admiral Lu Lin.”

"Oh...wait? And your ring..."

“Missouri is my wedding ship,” Xiaobai explained from the side.

"Oh... so it's Xiaobai's... Huh? Huh???" Bai's mother covered her mouth, her face suddenly turning red. She looked at Xiaobai in surprise, "Xiaobai, you, you... when did you... weren't you all girls..."

“Auntie, the oath between the Admiral and the ship girl not only represents love, but also the relationship of trust between the two parties.” Missouri said to White Mother with a smile. “Please rest assured, Missouri and the Admiral are not in the kind of relationship you are imagining.”

"Oh... I see..." Upon hearing this, the blush on Mrs. Bai's face faded slightly. She smiled shyly at Missouri, then picked up the gift box Missouri handed her. "Well... why did you have to choose a time like this to tell me something so important?"

“Missouri had been looking for opportunities to be alone with her aunt all along,” Missouri said with a smile.

"What a clever girl." Mrs. Bai smiled slightly, picked up the gift box, and gently sniffed it. Then, a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Hmm... could this smell be..."

"It's a durian ice cream cake."

“This is exactly what I like.” Mrs. White picked up the gift box as if it were a treasure, and smiled happily at Missouri. “Then I’ll go to the kitchen, cut the cake, and share it with everyone.”

After saying that, Mrs. Bai carried the gift box into the house.

Missouri smiled as she looked at the open door, when suddenly she felt a tugging at the hem of her sleeve and looked down.

Little White was pouting, looking unusually unhappy.

"Admiral?"

“Missouri, why don’t you tell Mom the truth about our relationship?” Xiaobai asked.

“Well…” Missouri finally understood the source of Xiaobai’s unhappiness. She slowly squatted down and smiled at Xiaobai, saying, “The Admiral and Missouri truly trust each other to the extreme. Didn’t we do a blindfolded challenge at the naval base before? That’s not wrong.”

"That's true..."

“Admiral, Missouri wants to tell everyone about our relationship more than anyone else.” Missouri smiled at Shiro. “But as the saying goes, everyone needs time to accept things, right? I believe that Missouri, Yamato-senpai, Nagaharu-senpai, and Veneto-senpai all share the same thought.”

Missouri reached out and gently poked Little White's cheek.
