Elder brother's garrison

at the same time.

Xiao Bai and Nan Xing have left the 8-2 sea area and returned to the city in Chapter 8.

"Sister Nanxing, look! Candied hawthorns!"

Xiao Bai, holding Nan Xing's hand, pointed to a snack vendor on the side of the street and said happily.

Currently, the ship girl is entrenched in the 8-2 sea area. Her presence has attracted the vast majority of admirals, so the usually bustling streets are now quite deserted.

This scene was naturally what Xiaobai liked—after all, her prestige in Chapter 8 was quite unique. If it were a bustling street, as soon as Xiaobai showed up, all the pedestrians on the street would be gone within three minutes. Although this wasn't a bad thing for Xiaobai, it wasn't a good thing either—if it happened too often, it would really damage Xiaobai's confidence in shopping.

A quieter street would be nice...

Xiaobai and Nanxing walked hand in hand in front, while a group of Nanxing's ship girls followed closely behind them like little shadows.

"Want some?" Nanxing asked Xiaobai, looking at the candied hawthorn stall that Xiaobai had pointed to earlier.

"Mm!" Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Okay." Nanxing nodded.

Nanxing and Xiaobai slowly approached the stall.

Nanxing raised his hand and pointed to two strings of candied hawthorns on the stall. The stall owner immediately understood, took the candied hawthorns down, wrapped them up, and bent down to hand them to Nanxing.

Nanxing took the candied hawthorn, holding the candied hawthorn wrapped in a layer of paper in her arms with one hand, and used the other hand to pull Xiaobai away.

The stall owner stared blankly at Nanxing's retreating figure.

"Hey? Wait a minute... this customer hasn't paid yet..."

Just as the stall owner was about to use Erkang's hand gesture to summon Nanxing back, there were two swish sounds, and a group of ship girls quickly surrounded the stall.

"Hush! Hush!"

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

A group of brightly dressed ship girls nervously pressed their fingers to their lips, giving the stall owner a look that said, "Please don't disturb my admiral's date."

The leading ship girl took out her wallet.

"Sorry, my admiral is a bit withdrawn, so we pay for everything he buys... How much is it in total?"

"Uh... five yuan each."

"Ten yuan, here you go!" The ship girl took out a banknote from her wallet and handed it to the stall owner with both hands.

The stall owner blankly accepted the ship girl's money.

The stall owner glanced down at the ten yuan note, savoring the reactions and comments of the ship girls, before looking up again.

Crash, crash, crash -

The ship girls had already left quickly, chasing after the two admirals, one large and one small.

"Hiss...those two just now, so they were admirals?" the stall owner muttered to himself. "They're both so beautiful, without a single pimple or wrinkle. I thought they were ship girls..."

Are human girls nowadays prettier than ship girls?

Human genes are getting better and better.

After sighing, the stall owner lowered his head and prepared to collect the coins.

"Ok?"

However, in the instant the stall owner looked down, he was surprised to find that the ten yuan in his hand had somehow become five yuan more.

The stall owner stared blankly at the fifteen yuan in his hand, then subconsciously glanced at the stall displaying candied hawthorns.

really.

A string of candied hawthorns has disappeared from the stall again.

……

After leaving the stall, Nanxing loosened his grip slightly and handed one of the candied hawthorns in his arms to Xiaobai.

"Give."

"Thank you, Sister Nanxing!"

Xiaobai took the candied hawthorns. She gently peeled off the paper wrapping from the candied hawthorns and looked at the big, round, red candied hawthorns that were shining brightly in the sun. She couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"The candied hawthorns in Chapter 8 look much better than those in other places."

"Ah."

Nanxing responded, slowly peeled off the skin of the candied hawthorn, then gently brought it to her rosy lips, stared at it for a while, and finally stuck out her tongue to gently lick it.

Nanxing licked it twice, then opened her mouth and bit into the first hawthorn.

crunch.

The sugar coating on the hawthorn shattered crisply, falling from the corner of Nanxing's mouth and sticking to her clothes.

Nanxing quickly removed the candied hawthorn skewer and covered her mouth in embarrassment.

It seems that Nanxing rarely eats these kinds of snacks. When she ate the candied hawthorn, she clearly showed a novice's awkwardness, not knowing where to start.

"Sister Nanxing, do you rarely eat snacks?" Xiaobai asked Nanxing.

"Hmm..." Nanxing covered her mouth, looked at Xiaobai, and nodded.

"No wonder."

Do you eat a lot?

"As for me... I'm actually not too bad." Xiaobai opened her mouth, put the first hawthorn in her mouth, and then peeled the whole hawthorn off the bamboo skewer. She chewed it and smiled at Nanxing, saying, "But no matter what, I definitely ate more than Sister Nanxing."

Xiaobai rarely eats candied hawthorns.

Candied hawthorn berries are slightly sour.

Xiaobai doesn't dislike a strong sour taste, but she can't say she particularly likes it either.

However, the candied hawthorns in Chapter 8 are big and round, like beautiful rubies. The key point is that the craftsmen here are really skilled. Whether it's candied hawthorns or anything else, the craftsmanship and level of production are several levels higher than ordinary street food. Even if you rarely eat candied hawthorns, you can't help but buy one to try when you see it here and are in a good mood.

People's tastes are bound to change.

And Xiaobai is indeed in a pretty good mood right now.

Xiao Bai chewed on the sweet and sour hawthorn and sugar coating, then looked back at the road.

At the end of the road is a crossroads.

As Xiaobai chewed, she looked down at the candied hawthorn in her hand. Seeing the remaining candied hawthorn shimmering like rubies, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ah! Sister Nanxing, look!" Xiaobai pointed to the crossroads and called out to Nanxing.

Nanxing followed Xiaobai's gaze, but could only see an empty crossroads.

"What's wrong?" Nanxing asked.

"Sister Nanxing, do you know? I bought a jewelry store in Chapter Eight before."

"Jewelry...shop?"

"Well, although I bought it for some special reasons, I haven't even been to the jewelry store once since I bought it." Xiaobai picked up the candied hawthorn skewer in her hand and said excitedly to Nanxing, "Sister Nanxing, look, that place is full of beautiful gems like these candied hawthorns. It would be such a waste to leave Chapter Eight without even going to see it! So... since this is a rare opportunity, how about we go and browse the jewelry store?"

Chapter 2979 External Things and Internal Things

"Jewelry shop..."

Nanxing murmured Xiaobai's words, her hand holding the candied hawthorn skewer sank slightly, her gaze fixed on the large, round hawthorns on the skewer, lost in thought for a long while.

"Sister Nanxing?" Xiaobai couldn't help but reach out and shake her hand when Nanxing hadn't spoken for a long time.

“…Hmm?” Nanxing snapped out of her daze and looked at Xiaobai.

"Sister Nanxing, are you going or not?"

"A jewelry store?"

"Ok!"

"..."

Nanxing silently lifted the candied hawthorn, and imitating Xiaobai's previous actions, she put a whole hawthorn in her mouth and slowly bit it off the bamboo skewer.

"Well."

Nanxing chewed on what was in her mouth like a hamster and nodded gently at Xiaobai.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately grabbed Nanxing's arm happily.

"The jewelry store is just right at the intersection ahead! It's not the way back to the temporary garrison, but it's not far!" Xiaobai smiled, raising the bamboo stick in her hand and pointing in the direction ahead. "Sister Nanxing, let's go!"

Behind Nanxing and Xiaobai.

It was about ten meters away.

The ship girls from the Nanxing family looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with amazement, clicking their tongues in wonder.

"Hey, did you guys hear that?"

"Yes……"

"Admiral Lu Lin is taking our admiral to a jewelry store..."

"What an amazing Admiral Lu Lin!"

"She just came off the battlefield and she's already taking the admiral to buy jewelry!"

"It feels like our admiral is completely under Lu Lin's thumb..."

"I wonder if this Admiral Lu Lin did it on purpose. If she did, she's not simple."

"Great news! Great news!"

"Our admiral is naturally timid and so easily satisfied. If we give her the reins, her love life will probably never progress. She needs someone to lead her by the nose!"

"I was worried that with our admiral's personality, he'd probably be single for life, but now I can rest assured..."

"Hehe, fast forward, fast forward!"

"I can't wait to drink at the wedding!"

The ship girls from the Nanxing family, upon reaching this point in their discussion, all wore expressions of delighted surprise, and then quickly followed after them.

The group left the street and turned right at the intersection.

I took over Xiaobai's jewelry store about one to two weeks ago.

That happened on the night of the banquet hosted by Admiral Haoding. At the time, Xiaobai bought the jewelry store in advance to prevent Admiral Keyuan from framing her for stealing jewelry. Although Admiral Keyuan chose another way to frame Xiaobai that night, so Xiaobai didn't end up using the jewelry store, it would be a shame to just close it down since the purchase was already made. So Xiaobai entrusted it to Luo Lian, asking her to spend some time acting as the temporary store manager and help her run it around.

Later, Xiao Bai heard from Luo Lian that the jewelry store's sales had increased significantly during this period, and its popularity had also risen considerably.

However, Xiaobai hadn't had time to come before, and this was her first time.

After crossing the road, Xiaobai and his group quickly arrived in front of the jewelry store.

This is an exquisitely decorated store. The overall decor is a sophisticated and calming black color scheme, but it is accented with gold and crystal decorations. The store walls are completely transparent glass walls, through which you can see several rows of crystal-like counters and neatly arranged sparkling gemstone products. The ship girl shop assistants, dressed in suits, stand ramrod straight with their figures upright, their attire both capable and simple. They stand beside the customers in the store with a friendly yet unobtrusive demeanor, gently and concisely introducing the various products to them.

At first glance, the entire store exudes a sense of understated luxury and professionalism.

"Wow……"

The ship girls of the Nanxing family couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as they looked at the jewelry store.

Xiaobai and Nanxing walked into the jewelry store.

As soon as everyone entered, a ship girl shop assistant dressed in a black women's suit came up to them and greeted them warmly.

"Hello, welcome to Crystal Rendezvous. You two... wait a minute? Isn't this the boss?"

The ship girl shop assistant paused halfway through her speech, her gaze lingering on Shiro's cheek. Then, she stopped talking and a look of surprise crossed her face.

"Huh? You know me?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"When the acting store manager took over the store a few days ago, he trained all the staff, and one of the things he taught was to remember your face! So that we can provide you with the most attentive service at any time!" The ship girl shop assistant immediately stood at attention and saluted Xiaobai, "Boss Lu Lin! Welcome to your inspection!"

Upon hearing the ship girl's call, all the ship girl employees in the store seemed to be inspired, and immediately put down their work and bowed in the direction of Xiaobai.

"Hello, Boss Lu Lin!!"

The crisp and neat slogans instantly resounded throughout the jewelry store.

The customers in the jewelry store all looked on in surprise.
