"...Hmm..." Xiaobai was silent for a while. Looking at Nia's seemingly innocent expression, she remained silent for a long time before finally making up her mind and whispering in Nia's ear, "Actually... Nia, Admiral Gu Ming, this person..."
Xiaobai told Nia what she had seen and heard, excluding the part where she entered the doll.
After hearing this, Nia stood there, stunned for a few seconds.
"Huh?" Nia asked, bewildered.
Chapter 3264 Am I the only one...?
"Nia, don't be afraid. I'm here for you if anything happens!" As soon as Xiaobai saw Nia's bewildered look, he stepped forward, put his hands on Nia's arms, and comforted her.
"Ah...ah..." Nia slowly came to her senses, her gaze momentarily complicated. "So...so that's how it is...Admiral Gu Ming, she...she felt about me..."
Nia never doubted Xiaobai's words.
Now that Xiaobai has revealed Admiral Gu Ming's secret, Nia has no choice but to believe him.
"Nia, you and Admiral Gu Ming shouldn't have had any interaction before, right?" Xiaobai asked.
“Yes…” Nia nodded repeatedly, “I rarely interact with the admirals around me… I didn’t even know this Admiral Gu Ming before all this happened.”
"Looks like he's a hidden fan of yours, Nia." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai gazed at Nia's face and couldn't help but sigh.
Speaking of which, I have to mention something.
In the admiral circle of Chapter 8, Nia is naturally among the most outstanding in terms of appearance – she is beautiful and cute, has a curvaceous figure, fair skin, and more importantly, she is young and energetic, and also has a group of ship girls with unlimited potential and alluring charm.
Under these circumstances, after Nia made efforts to enter the field of vision of the admirals in Chapter 8, she naturally gained a considerable number of admiral fans.
For example, if Xiaobai logs into the Admiral Forum and searches for the term "Nia," nine times out of ten, he will find some posts about people going crazy on the Admiral Forum or wanting to be Nia's dog, having their dog heads gently stroked by her hand.
Xiao Bai wasn't quite clear on the details of how Admiral Gu Ming fell in love with Nia... but she guessed that this was roughly the time when Admiral Gu Ming developed feelings for Nia.
Nia covered her mouth, listening to Xiaobai's words as if she was thinking seriously.
Nia's gaze wandered, lost in thought, before finally settling on Xiaobai, who looked concerned.
Seeing how concerned Xiaobai was about her, Nia's gaze wavered.
“…Xiaobai…” Nia thought for a while, then slowly lowered her hands and called out Xiaobai’s name.
"I'm here."
“Actually, regarding Admiral Gu Ming…” Nia said to Xiaobai.
"Are you going to share your thoughts?" Xiaobai asked.
“Hmm…I…I think…although it did sound a bit shocking at first…but if I think about it calmly, it’s not so bad,” Nia said.
"Huh? Nia, what do you think about this?" Now it was Xiaobai's turn to be surprised. "Admiral Gu Ming somehow got hold of so many of your photos and weird dolls..."
“Ah…” Nia turned her head away, not daring to look Xiaobai in the eye. “Xiaobai…do you think…this kind of thing is scary? If…if someone secretly got hold of your photos…then…what would you think…”
"If someone secretly takes my photo home... I'd probably find it a little scary..." Xiaobai said softly, covering her mouth.
"..."
Nia suddenly fell silent.
"Nia? Are you still there?" Xiaobai looked up at Nia. "Huh? Nia?"
When Xiaobai looked up again, she saw Nia standing at the door, pale-faced, gasping for breath, clutching her chest and swaying unsteadily.
Nia's eyes were filled with shock, and large tears streamed down her face, falling to the floor with a pattering sound.
Nia's expression was far more shocked and incredulous than when she first learned that Admiral Gu Ming had collected her photos.
"Nia? You, what is this..." Xiaobai was stunned.
"Waaah... Xiaobai, you... you really dislike being secretly photographed this much..." Nia sobbed, her face filled with sorrow, radiating negative energy as if she might drown herself or hang herself at any moment. "I... I'm so sorry..."
Little White stood there dumbfounded, staring at Nia.
Xiao Bai's brain was working at lightning speed.
In a moment, Xiaobai suddenly realized something.
Oh!
Nia might have... taken her own photos too?
Thinking of this, Xiaobai quickly changed her address to Nia.
"No, no... that's not what I meant..." Xiaobai quickly said, "If a stranger took my photos... I, I would feel a little scared... but if it's a friend, it's fine! After all, it's normal for friends to exchange photos!"
"..."
Nia's sobs caught in her throat.
The negative energy around Nia slowly dissipated.
Nia lowered her head and silently wiped away the tears on her face. After a while, she raised her head and gave Xiaobai an innocent smile.
"Ah—so that's what Xiaobai was thinking!"
Seeing Nia in this state, Xiaobai patted his chest and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Goodness... thank goodness you changed your mind...
Otherwise, judging from the way things were just now, Nia probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.
"In short... Nia, your attitude is... you don't mind Admiral Gu Ming doing some weird things with your photos... right..." Xiaobai asked Nia, rubbing his forehead.
“Yes!” Nia nodded with a smile.
“Nia, you really are… generous.” Xiaobai sighed, and after a while, she continued, “But… since you’ve said so, Nia, then I have no objections.”
"Hehe." Nia scratched her head sheepishly.
"Nia, it's getting late... um... I won't disturb your rest any longer," Xiaobai said to Nia. "You still have to practice and try to get higher scores tomorrow."
"Okay! I'm going to rest now! Goodnight, Xiaobai!"
Nia smiled and waved to Little White.
Xiaobai waved and watched Nia skip and hop all the way back to her room, feeling exceptionally cheerful.
"Admiral Nia seems to be in a really good mood." Changchun came to Xiaobai's side, peeked at Nia's back, and then said to Xiaobai with a smile, "It feels like a lot of good things happened today."
"All that happened to me was surprising..." Xiaobai muttered softly, resting her face on Changchun's shoulder and letting out a long sigh. "Neither Nia nor Lianlian seem to mind that their photos are being used in strange ways in people's rooms... Is it that everyone else thinks this way, and I'm just being too self-conscious and making a fuss over nothing..."
Feeling the sensations emanating from Changchun, Xiaobai gradually began to reflect on himself.
Chapter 3265 Deep Sea Akagi and Nanxing
crunch.
The door to Nia's room was pushed open.
Nia returned home in a particularly pleasant mood, accompanied by a gentle breeze and humming a song.
Luo Lian, who was sitting at her desk writing copy, turned her head when she heard the door open.
"You're back," Luo Lian greeted.
"Luo Lian—I'm back!" Nia happily raised her hands, her face full of smiles.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Did you rise a lot in the rankings during today's exercise?" Luo Lian looked at Nia's state, sat up slightly, and crossed her legs as she looked at her.
"Hehe..." Nia chuckled, unable to suppress the smile on her face. After entering the room, she hummed a song as she walked to the bedside, sat on the floor, and began to move the bedside table.
As Nia moved the bedside table, a hidden door, resembling a dog hole, appeared in the wall.
Nia stuck out her buttocks, as if she was about to slip through the hidden door.
"You want to use the stress-relief room as soon as you get back?"
"Hehe~"
"Nia, speaking of which, did Xiaobai tell you about that matter?" Luo Lian said to Nia as she looked at her back.
"Is it about Admiral Gu Ming?"
"Yes."
"I'll tell you!"
"That's good." Luo Lian looked at Nia's round and perky buttocks sticking out. "So... Xiao Bai seems to have some opinions about this. Have you considered reducing the number of times the stress-relief room is used?"
"It's okay~ Xiaobai told me that she doesn't mind her friends exchanging photos with each other..."
Nia slipped through the hidden door.
Luo Lian sat alone at her desk, looking at the view behind the hidden door, and pointed to her chin with two fingers.
"What Xiaobai meant by exchanging photos among friends... probably doesn't refer to something like creating a stress-relieving room..."
"but……"
"Fine... let's just leave it at that."
Luo Lian lowered her hand, leaned back in her chair, looked out the window at the dark clouds and the bright moon, and let out a soft breath.
The moon today.
It's so round.
……
On Xiaobai's side, the Changchun family did not stay in Xiaobai's dormitory too late.
When the moon was high in the sky, Anshan and Jinan wisely spoke up, stretching and preparing to return to their dormitories to rest.
Changchun looked at her two sisters, her face flushed. She didn't get up, but instead sweetly wrapped her arms around Xiaobai's arm, choosing to stay overnight.
It's a wedding ship, you know.
Staying overnight in the admiral's room... is not unusual.
However, given Changchun's personality, she used to only dare to sneak into Xiaobai's room with a pillow after everyone had fallen asleep. Now, she was able to shyly choose to stay in front of her sisters, which was quite rare for Changchun, who has always been thin-skinned.
Perhaps this is what growth is in some sense.
After seeing Anshan and Jinan off, Xiaobai and Changchun closed the door, and Changchun reached out and turned off the light.
Under the moonlight, Changchun undressed, and the two changed into their pajamas, then climbed into bed hand in hand.
"Admiral... I miss you so much..."
Changchun's body was slightly feverish. Under the cover of night, even without Xiaobai's shipgirl-level vision, she could clearly see a pair of bright, sparkling eyes shining in the darkness.
The next moment, delicate, soft lips, carrying a faint, youthful fragrance, pressed against hers.
The night was as beautiful as a painting.
The moonlight over the pond suppressed the soft, delicate sounds that followed.
……
The next morning, Changchun, now back to his usual shy self, left Xiaobai's dormitory with a flushed face and his hand covering his neck before most of the people at the garrison woke up.
Wait a few hours until it's time to go to work.
After a night's rest, Nia had fully recovered her energy and was full of vitality as she led the ship girls out to participate in the event.
Luo Lian woke up on time as usual, took her thick notebook, and went to the training ground to start training the ship girls.
Xiao Bai was alone in his dorm room, lying on his bed, hugging a pillow that smelled faintly of Changchun, and aimlessly fiddling with his phone.
Xiaobai kept refreshing the world rankings.
As always, Mengxin Town Hall stands firmly in the top spot in the world. No matter how much Xiaobai refreshes the rankings, Mengxin Town Hall's position remains as stable as Mount Tai and unshakable.
As for the remaining top ten admirals, Xiaobai kept refreshing and observing.
Since resuming exercises, Nanxing Naval Base has gradually climbed from over 20th place in the world to the top 10, and now it has officially returned to the top 5, with its ranking gradually stabilizing at fifth place.
Xiao Bai flipped through Nan Xing's practice records and found that since returning to the fifth position in the world, she had not practiced as frequently as before. Now she only practices two or three times a day to maintain her ranking.
It seems that Miss Nanxing is quite satisfied with her fifth-place ranking in the world and has no intention of going any further.
Everyone has their own ambitions... and not everyone wants to pursue the ultimate ranking.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai no longer had the idea of urging Nan Xing to rank up, and instead shifted his gaze away from Nan Xing's garrison.
In the current world rankings, the top six are all former top ten admirals, while the remaining four positions are filled with ups and downs and struggles. Jin Shiqi and Ning Lu are fluctuating between the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth positions.
The admirals competing with Jin Shiqi and Ning Lu are Guan Qi and Gu Ming. In the past, when Xiaobai searched for world rankings, these four admirals were always fighting each other fiercely.
