Elder brother's garrison

"Ahem, ahem." Xiaobai chuckled awkwardly, "Auntie is joking..."

"How long are you planning to stay here this time?" Nanxing's mother asked again. "Your Aunt Limu said last time that if you come to Shenzhen again, she will throw another banquet for you."

"Um... I have to leave this afternoon."

"Oh, I see. Then we'll have to wait until next time," Nanxing's mother said, before turning to Xiaobai and asking, "How about we have lunch together?"

"Huh? Um... okay." Xiaobai nodded.

"That's really good." Nanxing's mother nodded with a smile, though it was unclear what she was saying.

The aftermath of the deep-sea infected seems quite troublesome. Although Xiaobai has properly dealt with the deep-sea aura problem in the infected's body, Nanxing's father has not returned to the office for a long time in order to deal with the remaining issues.

The time came to noon.

Nanxing's mother led Xiaobai and the others out of the office and into the hospital's staff cafeteria.

Hospital meals can't be described as having perfect color, aroma, and taste; they just need to be nutritious and look healthy. We don't ask for much else.

This meal was about social etiquette and interpersonal relationships.

Because there were still many things to do at the hospital, Nanxing's mother did not invite Xiaobai to stay after lunch. She simply reiterated that she was very grateful to Xiaobai for what happened and that she and Nanxing's father would definitely treat Xiaobai and his party to a good meal when Xiaobai came to Shenzhen next time.

Xiao Bai was deeply grateful for this. She was already content to have a good relationship with Nan Xing's parents.

Nanxing's mother escorted Xiaobai and the other two to the back entrance of the hospital.

"Auntie, we'll come to see you again next time we have the chance," Xiaobai said to Nanxing's mother with a smile. "I didn't have a chance to say it just now, but please give my regards to Uncle as well."

"Yes, definitely next time." Nanxing's mother smiled at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai bowed to Nan Xing's mother and then left through the back door of the hospital with Chao Da and Nan Xing.

"Honey, wait a minute." Just then, Nanxing's mother suddenly called out to Nanxing.

“…Hmm?” Nanxing stopped and turned to look at her mother.

Nanxing's mother waved to Nanxing with a big smile on her face.

"Honey, stay here for a moment, Mom has something to tell you."

“…” Nanxing blinked, and she subconsciously glanced at Xiaobai beside her.

"Sister Nanxing, then Chaoda and I will go out and wait for you first." Xiaobai immediately understood that Nanxing's mother wanted to whisper something to Nanxing, so she said with a smile.

"……it is good."

Nanxing watched Xiaobai and Chaoda walk out of the hospital's back door. Only after Xiaobai's figure disappeared did she slowly return to her mother alone.

"Honey, you need to put in some effort." Nanxing's mother sighed as she looked at Nanxing who had returned to her.

“…?” Nanxing looked at her mother blankly.

“That girl, Lu Lin, has come to help us several times for no reason. She even comes over with just one phone call. Do you think it’s just a casual relationship?” Nanxing’s mother reached out and straightened Nanxing’s collar. “Sigh… I’ve been a ship girl myself, and I’ve seen a lot of relationships between female admirals and ship girls. Some of these girls are best friends, and some are lovers. I can tell them apart at a glance.”

"..." Nanxing.

“That child clearly likes you,” Nanxing’s mother said to Nanxing. “You like Xiaolu Lin too, don’t you?”

“…Hmm.” Nanxing lowered her head.

“If you like it, then go for it. Mom supports you.” Nanxing’s mother smiled knowingly. “Your father is an old-fashioned and stubborn man. Although he doesn’t have a strong obsession with carrying on the family line, getting him to accept his daughter’s feelings for another girl… well… he might need some time right now. But as you just saw, your father is actually quite fond of Xiao Lulin. If he really had to accept you having a relationship with another girl… Xiao Lulin might be the only one he can approve of.”

“…” Nanxing listened in a daze.

"That's all I wanted to say. Go on now." Nanxing's mother smiled and patted Nanxing on the back. "I'm just saying this to tell you that next time you'll bring me some good news."

Chapter 3536 Good South Star

Xiao Bai and Chao Da were chatting at the entrance, watching the crowd not far away, and waited for a little while.

A few minutes later, the closed back door of the hospital was finally pushed open, and Nanxing walked out alone with his head down.

"Sister Nanxing!"

As soon as Xiaobai saw Nanxing, he immediately smiled and waved his arm, greeting her.

Nanxing, who was deep in thought, looked up slightly and glanced at Xiaobai and Chaodahe not far away. She then quickened her pace silently.

"Have you finished chatting with Auntie, Sister Nanxing?" Xiaobai asked with a smile as Nanxing walked up to her.

"We're done talking," Nanxing replied.

"What did Auntie just say to you?" Xiaobai asked, turning her hands behind her back and tilting her head slightly.

When Nanxing's mother called Nanxing over, she looked very mysterious. Xiaobai was really curious about what the two of them were secretly talking about behind her back.

Perhaps because she had done many bad things behind Nanxing's mother's back to harm her daughter, Xiaobai felt a subtle sense of guilt and always felt that the topics they were talking about might be related to her.

“…didn’t say anything.” Nanxing shook his head.

"Oh fine."

Seeing that Nanxing answered so readily, Xiaobai did not ask any further questions.

Judging from Nanxing's expression, it seems her mother didn't mention her during the conversation just now...

Ok……

I'm probably being too sensitive...

Nanxing's mother suddenly called out to Nanxing just now, probably because she wanted to have a private chat with her, just like how she and her mother would always secretly share some trivial little secrets.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai immediately felt much better. She grabbed Nanxing's wrist with one hand and pulled Chao Yahe's sleeve with the other, smiling at the two of them.

"Sister Nanxing, it's rare for us to come to Shenzhen city during the day. I happen to have some time, how about we go for a stroll in the city?"

"...Do you want to go to the city center?" Nanxing asked Xiaobai.

"Hmm? Hmm... After all, I haven't really explored Shenzhen properly yet... But as long as I'm with Sister Nanxing, I'm fine with anything," Xiaobai said.

“…” Nanxing nodded silently, her gaze lowered.

Xiao Bai was somewhat surprised by Nan Xing's sudden question.

According to Xiaobai's understanding of Nanxing, she should usually be quite compliant with her. Whenever Xiaobai suggests going somewhere, Nanxing never asks why and just silently accompanies her.

"Sister Nanxing, don't you want to go to the city?" Xiaobai thought for a while, and then, having figured out what was going on, she asked cautiously.

"Can we go back to the naval base?" Nanxing asked.

Nanxing rarely revealed his thoughts to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai was surprised, but also felt a strange sense of relief.

Does the fact that Nanxing no longer blindly obeys me mean that she has finally come to see me as a family member with whom she can share her opinions?

"Ah... so Sister Nanxing wants to go home? That's fine." Xiaobai understood, and she nodded with a smile, continuing, "Well, I'm a little tired too, so going back to the naval base to rest would be nice, Chaoda and you think?"

When Xiaobai finished speaking, he turned to look at Chao Yamato.

Chao Da nodded quickly, indicating that he was willing to do anything.

The three reached a consensus, left the hospital, and headed back towards the naval base.

Throughout the journey, Nanxing remained inexplicably quiet. No matter what Xiaobai said to her, she remained calm and indifferent. At first, Xiaobai was a little concerned that Nanxing might be hiding something or in a bad mood. However, whenever Xiaobai showed concern in her eyes, Nanxing could always sense the change in Xiaobai's emotions in advance and gently took Xiaobai's hand.

The warmth of their intertwined fingers and pressed palms together brought a wave of reassurance, putting Xiaobai at ease.

Xiao Bai and his two companions successfully returned to the town garrison in Shenzhen.

When the ship girls inside the Shencheng Garrison saw Xiaobai traveling with their admiral, they all showed maternal smiles and crowded around to greet her, saying things like, "Admiral Lu Lin is here to play again," and "Admiral Lu Lin, are you having fun?"

Back in Nanxing's dormitory, Xiaobai and Chaoda closed the door behind them.

Having escaped the enthusiastic ship girls, Xiaobai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be fair, the ship girls from the Nanxing family were indeed very kind and enthusiastic towards Xiaobai, and Xiaobai could feel the sincerity behind their smiles—however… sincerity aside, the strange smiles these ship girls gave her every time she went out with Nanxing made Xiaobai feel extremely embarrassed, as if she were being publicly executed by a group of people. Even though Xiaobai's skin had been trained to be thick, she still couldn't stand it after a while.

"When will I finally get used to the enthusiasm of your ship girls, Sister Nanxing..." Xiaobai stood in the entrance hall, watching Nanxing in front of her bend over slightly, lean forward with one hand to hold the shoe cabinet, and slowly take off the high heel on one of her raised feet.

From Xiaobai's perspective, Nanxing's body lines are clearly visible and quite attractive.

Xiao Bai was so engrossed in watching that Nan Xing had already taken off his shoes, walked to the central hall, and turned to look at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai snapped out of her daze, smiled a little embarrassedly at Nan Xing, and then quickly bent down to take off her shoes, jumping from the shoe cabinet in the entryway into the central hall.

When Xiaobai jumped into the central hall, his body subconsciously leaned forward.

Standing in front of Xiaobai, Nanxing reached out her arms and gently hugged Xiaobai.

"Sister Nanxing, thank you... um??"

Xiaobai gently nestled into Nanxing's arms, feeling the touch from his embrace. She was about to smile and thank him when she clearly felt Nanxing's arms encircle her lower back. Then, Nanxing lowered his head slightly and gently pressed his soft lips against hers.

Xiao Bai's eyes widened instinctively.

Xiao Bai subconsciously placed her hand on Nan Xing's neck and pushed her away.

But Nanxing and Xiaobai were inseparable.

"Nan...uh...Sister Nanxing...why suddenly...uh??"

Because of Nanxing's interference, Xiaobai couldn't even speak clearly for a while.

"..." Nanxing stroked Xiaobai's lower back, kissing her gently as he led her toward his bedroom.

"Huh...huh? Hey?"

Xiao Bai stared blankly as Nan Xing guided her body, taking three or four steps towards the bedroom.

Nanxing wasn't very strong, but Xiaobai was so taken aback by Nanxing's sudden initiative that she couldn't react. So she could only let Nanxing pull her towards the bedroom door, one step at a time.

oops?

What happened?

Why is Sister Nanxing being so proactive today?

and many more……

Could it be that……

She said she wanted to go home, could it be because...?

While Xiaobai was still in a daze, Nanxing had already half-pulled and half-dragged her into the dormitory, and finally Nanxing gently pushed her onto the spacious bed.

Super Big followed behind the two, covering his mouth, staring wide-eyed, with an expression as if he were watching a show.

Of course, Nanxing didn't let Chaoda and Bai see. As soon as Chaoda and Bai entered the bedroom, Nanxing reached out and pulled Chaoda's arm, bringing her to her and Xiaobai's side.

The giant and the bound body fell down beside the little white dog.

A girl's startled cry immediately echoed from inside the dormitory.

The door to Nanxing's dormitory was closed by a slender, snow-white arm.

……

Inside the square of the Shencheng Town Governor's Mansion, the ship girls of the Nanxing family were carrying watering cans, carrying out the daily care of the plants in the garden.

The ship girls carried shower heads, from which sprayed out a thin mist of water vapor.

The water vapor glistened in the sunlight, falling on the tiny flowers among the green plants. The colorful petals became exceptionally tender and moistened by the artificial water vapor. After the ship girls finished their care, they put down the showerhead and reached out to gently touch the flower stamens with satisfaction. The flowers trembled gently among the green leaves, looking incredibly lovely.

"Speaking of which, isn't it lunchtime now?"

A ship girl put down the showerhead, looked up at the sun in the sky, and asked her friends.

"Hmm, it seems so. Shall we go eat?" another ship girl asked.

"Okay, while you're at it, go ask the Admiral and Admiral Lu Lin if they want to eat too."

"Ah, ah, ah..." Upon hearing this, another ship girl suddenly spoke in a drawn-out tone, her voice rising and falling as she lingered on the words, "I think we shouldn't call them anymore."

"Huh? Why?"

"Those two seem to have had lunch before coming back; they must be full."

"Oh right, I'm full."

The ship girls looked at each other, then smiled knowingly and nodded in unison.

……

Time flew by and it was already afternoon.

Nanxing's dormitory was quiet.
