"You're welcome."
"But Auntie... has Miao Yan's discharge date been confirmed?"
"Well... although her injuries are quite serious, all her indicators have stabilized. Although she still needs to be observed for a period of time, she can be discharged at any time if her family strongly requests that she be discharged to recuperate."
"So she's still lying here?"
"Yes."
"Has the family not requested discharge?"
"No."
"I see." Xiaobai nodded.
The matter concerning Miao Yan will be put on hold for now.
Xiaobai and Nanxing's mother left the stairwell and returned to the top floor of the hospital, arriving back at the conference room door.
Xiaobai's trip was short, less than half an hour. When she and Nanxing's mother returned to the conference room, the ship girls were eating snacks and watching a movie, which had only just begun.
"This movie is so boring."
"It seems like you need to watch for more than an hour to get into this kind of movie."
"Why hasn't the admiral returned yet?"
The ship girls sipped tea, their slender bodies leaning against the sofa, striking eye-catching poses that showcased their striking curves.
By the conference room door, Nanxing sat on a bench, obediently watching the ship girls inside, looking like a well-behaved doorkeeper.
Seeing Xiaobai and Nanxing's mother return, Nanxing stood up from the bench. Her gaze first swept over her mother and finally settled on Xiaobai.
"Is it over there?"
Nanxing asked Xiaobai.
"Yes, it's all over." Xiaobai nodded with a smile. "The critically ill patients have been treated and are probably transferred to other departments now... Has Sister Nanxing been waiting long?"
"Not long," Nanxing shook his head, "the movie has only just finished its prologue."
"Oh..." Xiaobai drawled out the sound.
Xiaobai's voice entered the conference room, and as soon as the ship girls in the conference room heard Xiaobai's voice, their attention immediately left the screen and they all looked at Xiaobai.
"Ah, Admiral!"
"Admiral, you're back."
"Admiral, this movie is so boring..."
"Has the matter with the admiral been settled?"
"Yay! Can we go shopping now?"
"..."
The voices of the ship girls rose and fell as they got up from the sofa, stretched, and leaned over.
"Auntie, now that we've finished our business here, we'll be leaving now." Xiaobai smiled as she watched the ship girls come to her side. She turned to Nanxing's mother and said, "Once Aunt Limu has arranged the dinner party tonight, just ask Nanxing to call me. I'll stay with her all day."
"Okay, sure." Nanxing's mother nodded, looking intently at Xiaobai. "Little Lu Lin, how long will you be staying in Shenzhen this time?"
“My work hasn’t been too busy lately, so I’m not sure about the exact time…” Xiaobai replied, her gaze drifting to 1913 among the ship girls, then she smiled and said, “Well… but… it’s a rare opportunity, so I’ll probably stay for a couple more days.”
"Alright, this is a rare opportunity."
Nanxing's mother spoke in the same tone as Xiaobai, nodding and then looking at Nanxing with a smile in her eyes.
"Nanxing, please take good care of Lu Lin for your father and me. She's our very special guest," Nanxing's mother said. "Remember to have dinner at your Aunt Limu's restaurant tonight. I'll call you when it's time."
"it is good."
Nanxing nodded without hesitation.
Nanxing will indeed take good care of Xiaobai; in this respect, she may be even more serious than Nanxing's parents imagine.
Seeing Nanxing agree so quickly, Nanxing's mother seemed relieved and smiled as she turned her gaze to the ship girls.
"Ladies, we still have to work and are busy, so it's a pity we can't go out with you. See you tonight!"
"Goodbye, aunt!"
The ship girls nodded and smiled at Mother Nanxing.
Perhaps because Nanxing's mother was once a ship girl, the ship girls have a good impression of this current human mother.
Chapter 3682 Dinner Party
After leaving Shenzhen Hospital, Xiaobai and his group embarked on their journey back to the garrison headquarters.
"Missouri, Sister Iowa, I just looked it up online, and there seems to be a really nice fashion brand store in Shenzhen! They're famous for their new collection this season, let's go check it out!"
Not long after leaving the hospital, Wisconsin walked between Missouri and Iowa, put her arms around them on either side, and looked excited and overjoyed.
"You really have a soft spot for these kinds of stores," Iowa said to Wisconsin with a smile.
“Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse…” Wisconsin shook her head, then widened her eyes and said, “Besides, Iowa and Missouri, you both have huge private dressing rooms at the naval base. It seems like you have just as many clothes as I do, right?”
“Missouri is also thinking of going to see it,” Missouri said with a smile. “What does Sister Iowa think?”
“Since Missouri is going, I guess I’ll have to go with her,” Iowa said softly. Then she turned to New Jersey and Illinois. “New Jersey, Illinois, shall we go together? Speaking of which, Illinois, you just joined our naval base, and we haven’t picked out a few decent clothes for you yet.”
“Me? I think this outfit is fine too,” Illinois said, glancing down at her clothes.
“Of course, clothes are divided into combat attire and everyday wear,” Iowa said to Illinois with a smile. “Come on, let’s go.”
“That’s fine too,” Illinois said, but then, halfway through her sentence, she belatedly glanced at 1913, who was holding an umbrella in the crowd. “1913, want to come along?”
"Me?" he asked in 1913.
“Yes, your outfit is so flashy, you need a more casual outfit too, right?” Illinois said with a smile.
“Illinois, do you have the right to talk about others…” Wisconsin lifted Illinois’s shawl and looked at her smooth back, making a sarcastic remark.
"If we go to pick out clothes together, it would be best if it were more lively," 1913 readily agreed.
“I’ve finally come all the way to Shenzhen, I want to go and see it too!” Anshan raised his hand and pulled Changchun along.
Jinan, of course, also joined in, looking eager to try.
"Are you all going to change? I want to go too! I want to be the first to witness everyone's new outfits!"
"Okay, okay, everyone go, everyone go."
In just a few words, the ship girls had already decided on their next move. Soon, they were out of Xiaobai's sight, waving to him with smiles on their faces.
"Admiral—let's go for a stroll in the streets!"
"See you this afternoon, Admiral!"
The ship girls waved and left without saying a word.
Xiaobai could only smile and wave goodbye to the ship girls, watching them walk arm in arm down another road. Soon, those beautiful figures disappeared at the fork in the street.
Xiao Bai put down his hand and looked around.
Now, only Nanxing and Chao Yamato are left by Xiaobai's side.
"Sister Nanxing, shall we go shopping next?" Xiaobai asked. "It's still early before our dinner party tonight."
“…” Nanxing shook her head, then reached out and gently squeezed Xiaobai’s arm. “Let’s go home.”
The "home" that Nanxing mentioned was, of course, referring to her garrison headquarters.
Xiao Bai felt the force of Nan Xing's hand gripping her arm, and she nodded.
After the ship girls' team split up, only the three-person team of Xiaobai remained, so they were not as conspicuous as when they arrived. Xiaobai was able to return to Nanxing Naval Base smoothly and peacefully.
Soon, the three of them entered the familiar dormitory building.
Xiaobai intended to return to Nanxing's former dormitory by the same route she had come from. However, just as Xiaobai returned to the floor where Nanxing's dormitory was located and was about to head towards Nanxing's dormitory, she suddenly felt Nanxing gently pulling her from behind.
Looking up, the little white tiger saw Nanxing gently pointing in another direction.
“…There are other rooms.” Nanxing said, handing over a brand new key. “…Someone might come back halfway through.”
"……"noob.
Xiaobai completely understands what Nanxing means.
Even the usually oblivious Yamato seemed to have guessed something when he looked at the key in Nanxing's hand. His fair and mature face turned bright red, and he couldn't help but look to the side.
……
Xiao Bai ultimately did not return to Nan Xing's dormitory.
The three of them entered a room on a different floor, some distance from Nanxing's dormitory.
The room was fully equipped and kept very clean. Although the other rooms looked simple, the master bedroom was decorated exactly the same as the one in Nanxing dormitory. Everything was identical, from the color, size, and brand of the bed to the placement of items such as carpets, wardrobes, alarm clocks, and lamps.
Nanxing is a meticulous person, and she had already considered this kind of situation and prepared a room in advance where she would not be disturbed.
After Xiaobai entered the room that Nanxing had prepared, she didn't even have time to feel the temperature of the room before Nanxing gently hugged her from behind.
Xiao Bai turned around, and Nan Xing's lips came close to hers.
“Hmm… um… hmm…”
Nanxing's attitude was like a flame burning inside an ice cube. Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a while, she was much more enthusiastic than when Xiaobai saw her last time. Xiaobai passively accepted Nanxing's gentle kisses while clinging to her body like a little bird, letting her do as she pleased, and following her guidance step by step towards the bedroom.
As the two walked towards the bedroom, pieces of clothing slipped and fell to the floor one by one.
Chao Da, blushing, kept chasing after Nan Xing and Xiao Bai, bending down to pick up their fallen clothes. Finally, she scooped up a large bundle in her arms and watched as the two figures walked into the bedroom side by side.
Chao Da, blushing, looked at the large bundle of clothes in her arms and stood at the bedroom door, unsure of what to do.
But the next second, two fair arms, one long and one short, reached out from the bedroom and grabbed the collar of her oversized dress, pulling her into the bedroom with a subconscious scream.
The oversized clothes and the clothes in her arms fell to the ground.
Soon, the loud noise in the bedroom faded, eventually turning into a faint stammer.
A black robe was thrown out of the bedroom and placed over the white clothes that had just fallen to the ground.
……
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon.
The air in the room was thick with heat.
Wearing only a bed sheet, Nanxing sat up in bed. She leaned against the bed and breathed softly, the heat on her face still not completely dissipated.
Chao Dahe sat on the edge of the bed getting dressed, glancing at the time on her phone as she did so. She then turned to Xiao Bai and spoke.
"Admiral...it's afternoon, we should head out."
"Oh... okay, alright..."
Xiaobai rubbed her eyes and got up from under the covers. As soon as she sat up, she frowned and touched her neck.
My neck... hurts a little.
Xiaobai stretched out her fingers and rubbed the center of the pain. The familiar feeling made her immediately realize what was going on.
“…I’m sorry.” Nanxing, who was standing to the side, noticed Xiaobai’s actions and spoke to Xiaobai with her eyes full of apology.
"...It's alright, Sister Nanxing."
Xiao Bai smiled and shook her head at Nan Xing. She gently wiped her neck, and a halo of light flashed, causing the swelling and pain in her neck to disappear completely.
Xiao Bai put down her hand, looked at Chao Da and her dressed up, got up, picked up the clothes on the ground, and put them on the bed.
"Admiral, this is yours." Chao Yamato, like a dutiful little maid... or rather, a head maid, bent down, separated the clothes, and handed them to the two. "And Nanxing, this is yours..."
"Thank you, Super Big and..."
Xiaobai and Nanxing were extremely grateful to Chaoda for taking care of them in such a small way, and they spoke to Chaoda almost at the same time.
"..." Chao Dahe shook her head and said to Xiaobai and Nanxing, "Admiral, I...I want to rest for a while later."
"Ah, sure, of course. Let's go back to Sister Nanxing's dorm first."
"Hmm... that dinner party tonight..."
"Oh, we still need to go."
"Okay..." came a huge and regretful sigh.
