Amidst this strange atmosphere, both ship girls turned their gazes toward Shiro.
"Oh my, isn't this the Admiral?" Illinois was the first to greet Xiaobai.
"Such a coincidence, it's truly fate." 1913 also gave Xiaobai a calm smile.
"……"noob.
“Illinois, 1913… How did you end up here?” Xiaobai asked.
"It's a long story. We had just finished picking out clothes and were heading to our next destination when we suddenly sensed the Admiral's presence several streets away. Considering how rare it was to encounter the Admiral's aura, we became interested and came to investigate." 1913 gently swayed her parasol, stepped off Brother Li, and continued smiling at Xiaobai, "We thought this would be a unique encounter, but when we arrived, we found the Admiral surrounded by a group of people in the store, about to be subjected to something."
“In the heat of the moment, 1913 and I acted first,” Illinois said from the side.
Are you nearby?
"Yes."
"What about the others?"
"Outside."
"..." Xiaobai turned her head to look outside the glass door.
really.
The shop assistants, who had just been scared away by 1913 and Illinois, were now all taken down.
Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Changchun Anshan, dressed in new clothes and carrying various luxury goods packages, were tying up the unconscious shop assistants with rope on the paving stones outside the shop. They were chatting with Nanxing, Chaoda, and Jinan, who were also outside. The group seemed to have just learned the whole story from Jinan, and their faces were full of smiles. They reached out and patted Jinan's head, comforting her.
The ship girls seemed to notice Xiaobai's gaze. They stopped stroking Jinan and turned to look into the shop.
The ship girls waved to Shiro.
With mixed feelings, Xiaobai raised her hand and waved to the ship girls.
"Speaking of which, Admiral, how did you get into conflict with these humans?" Illinois asked from the side.
"Well..." Xiaobai hesitated, then lowered her hand and smiled apologetically at the two ship girls beside her, "It's a long story for me too..."
……
Just after Xiaobai finished explaining the experience to Illinois and 1913, not long after, seemingly due to the loud noise caused by the two ship girls punching through the building, the police arrived at the scene in armored police vehicles after receiving the alarm.
The armored vehicle braked suddenly and swerved to a stop in front of the shop.
The car door opened, and a large number of armed police officers carrying riot shields ran out of the vehicle.
However, when the armed police got out of their vehicles, ready for a fierce battle, they were stunned to see the shop assistants neatly tied up at the shop entrance, and a group of beautiful young girls and women standing beside them.
Next, it was time for Xiaobai to cooperate with the police officers' investigation.
……
That night.
Inside the VIP suite of the Limu Hotel, Aunt Limu couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this. The beer she was holding spilled uncontrollably with her laughter, instantly soaking a small patch of the tablecloth.
"Hahahaha!!! So, of all the people those scammers could have scammed, they had to pick on you, the admiral? Hahahaha!!!"
Aunt Limu kept slapping the table as if she had heard something extremely funny.
"Hahahaha!!! Did these guys forget to check the almanac before going out to scam people today? What terrible luck they're having! Hahahaha————"
By the end, Li Mu was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight and could only slump over the table, trembling all over.
Sitting on the same table, Xiaobai scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"You know... there are so many coincidences in this world. It's all thanks to those bad guys that we were stuck at the Shenzhen Police Station for hours, filling out tons of statements before we could get out." Xiaobai said, seemingly a little wistfully, "Ah... anyway, at least we didn't miss out on Sister Limu's treat to dinner..."
"You guys are really something, causing such a huge mess. Playing dumb to fool others is one thing, but you almost blew up their house!" Li Mu laughed as she stood up, wiping away tears from her eyes. "Oh my, this is hilarious! So what happened to those people afterward?"
"The police later told us that those people this afternoon weren't some vicious wanted criminals or fraudsters, just a group of thugs and petty hooligans who took over a shop through some connections and spent their days doing petty theft," Xiaobai said to Aunt Limu. "However, there's no denying that they cheated my ship girl out of her money. The police have already helped my ship girl recover her losses and told us that they will handle this matter seriously according to the law."
Chapter 3690 Night Ward
"Alright, alright, then they're in for a rough time." Aunt Limu laughed, arms crossed, after hearing Xiaobai's words. "Trying to scam the Admiral, did they really think he was a pushover? They're going to be eating a lot of junk food now."
"..." Xiaobai scratched his head awkwardly, "Actually, I just wanted to help my ship girl get revenge at first."
"From the perspective of results, it's a good thing. The city has fewer local bullies and the air is cleaner." Li Mu nodded and pushed a small teacup-like vessel to Xiao Bai. "Come on, have a lion's head meatball."
"Thank you, Sister Limu."
"No, you're welcome. Whenever you come to Shenzhen, just call me and I'll treat you the same way." Aunt Limu said, patting Xiaobai's shoulder and looking up at the other side.
Across from Li Mu, surrounded by a table full of ship girls, Nanxing's parents were looking at her with concern.
"Honey, you went this afternoon too, right? Are you hurt?" Nanxing's mother asked with concern, rubbing Nanxing's hands.
"I'm fine," Nanxing shook her head.
"Sigh, those thugs went too far. Little Lu Lin finally made it to Shenzhen, and then this happened. It's really upsetting..." Nanxing's mother sighed, and added, "Even with the protection of the ship girls, what if those people did something to you and Little Lu Lin? How terrible would that be..."
"I'm fine." Nanxing looked at Nanxing's mother, hesitated, but finally said three words.
Nanxing's father, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but just nodded. Then he poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Pfft!
After downing a glass of wine, Nanxing's father collapsed onto the table, falling into a drunken stupor.
"Oh dear, if you can't hold your liquor, don't drink like this..." Nanxing's mother smiled wryly, got up and helped Nanxing's father to the sofa behind.
Xiao Bai watched as Nan Xing's parents left their seats.
Xiao Bai suddenly felt an unusually strong gaze on her side.
Xiao Bai turned her head to look and saw Aunt Li Mu looking at her with a half-smile.
"Admiral Lu Lin, regardless of the circumstances, I hope this incident won't affect your opinion of Shenzhen." Li Mu raised a glass of mineral water and gestured to Xiao Bai. "Oh right, I've given up drinking, so mineral water is fine, isn't it?"
"Sure." Xiaobai quickly picked up her water glass and smiled at Limu. "Auntie, I really like Shenzhen. I'll come again in the future."
"Ah—do you like the scenery here? Or the people?" Aunt Limu asked with a smile.
"...You like them all?"
"Alright, alright, go ahead and explode, you deadbeat." Aunt Limu laughed, her gaze drifting over Xiaobai and Nanxing before she gulped down her mineral water. Then she picked up her chopsticks and put some food on Xiaobai's plate. "Try this, then try that. Let me tell you, our hotel's cuisine is top-notch. If you ever have the chance to host a banquet or anything, I'll just take out my wallet and arrange the grandest one for you, okay?"
"..." Xiaobai was a little embarrassed by Limu's enthusiasm.
At this dinner party, the main focus was indeed on eating, and the conversation revolved around romantic topics.
Because both Limu and Nanxing's mother were once part of the Admiral's ship girl fandom, when they saw Xiaobai's group of beautiful ship girls, they were both amazed by their extraordinary demeanor.
A meal passed by in the blink of an eye.
Even as the moon and stars faded outside the restaurant, Xiaobai didn't feel that time was passing slowly.
After the dinner, Nanxing's mother left with Nanxing's father, who was unconscious. Aunt Limu wanted to persuade Xiaobai to stay at the hotel, but Xiaobai and the ship girls politely declined.
When it comes to ship girls, the best place to live is still the naval base.
After bidding farewell to everyone at the Pearwood Grand Hotel, Shiro, Nanxing, and the ship girls left the streets and headed back to Nanxing Naval Base.
"What a fulfilling day!"
"I never expected that the Shenzhen Police Station would become the first tourist attraction to visit..."
"Missouri, show me that dress you bought today when we get back."
"Oh dear, would you like to try it on too? But unfortunately, the size might not be right."
"You're already worried about me so early?"
"The moon in the sky is so round, and my belly is so full..."
"Thirteenth Aunt, why are you carrying an umbrella so late at night?"
"A leisurely and elegant lifestyle, this is wonderful."
"Jinan, look, doesn't the starry sky look like a camera?"
"..."
In the night, vendors bustle about on the streets, and the flow of people on both sides of the road seems even greater than during the day. The neon lights of the surrounding high-rise buildings flash endlessly, and the streets are filled with the aroma of small stalls.
With the ship girls around, the journey back to Nanxing Naval Base was filled with laughter and joy, so there was no fear of being bored.
Xiaobai walked down the street, pursing her lips as she watched the ship girls chatting as they walked. Her pace gradually slowed until she stopped.
Although the ship girls were chatting, their eyes kept glancing at Xiaobai. The moment Xiaobai left the group, the ship girls and Nanxing all turned around and looked at her.
"Admiral? What's wrong?"
The ship girls looked at Xiaobai with curiosity.
"Ah... I suddenly remembered I have something to do." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly.
"...What is it?"
"I thought of it this morning, but I haven't had time to do it before, so I've been putting it off." Xiaobai put down her hand, smiled apologetically, and said to the ship girls, "Well... I'll do it now. Why don't you guys go back first? I'll come back later."
"Admiral, it's already quite late... Can't we wait until tomorrow if there's anything else?"
The ship girls glanced at the dark sky and the bustling streets, even at night, and said...
"It's just to satisfy my curiosity..." Xiaobai said with a smile.
"..." The ship girls blinked, then exchanged a glance. "Oh... curiosity..."
With Xiaobai's current strength, the ship girls aren't worried about what would happen if Xiaobai walked alone on the streets at night. Besides, the night in Shenzhen is well-lit, without that dark and filthy feeling.
Since Xiaobai insisted, the ship girls seemed to understand and finally nodded in agreement.
"Alright then, Admiral, remember to come back soon."
"Shall we stay at Admiral Nanxing's place tonight and wait for you?"
"Could you get some late-night snacks when you come back? We'll be watching our show tonight and waiting for you."
Xiaobai nodded to the ship girls and waved.
The ship girls then waved to Shiro and turned to leave.
The ship girls disappeared into the distance of the street, vanishing into the darkness.
In the darkness, the faint sounds of ship girls talking could be heard.
"Aren't we going with the Admiral?" It was Illinois's voice.
"You haven't spent enough time with the Admiral, you don't understand. What the Admiral meant when she said that was that she wanted to go out and clear her head by herself..." It was Wisconsin's voice.
"The admiral's hobbies are truly unique..."
"..."
Darkness finally swallowed everything, and the streets fell into complete silence.
Xiaobai stood under a street lamp, looking up at the stark white light, then reached out and tied her long hair behind her.
Xiao Bai turned around and took a step in one direction.
……
Of course, Xiaobai wasn't just wandering around aimlessly. After all, in Xiaobai's heart, no matter how beautiful the scenery of this deep city at night was, it couldn't compare to the comfort of being with her own ship girl.
Xiao Bai's destination is the First People's Hospital of Shenzhen.
After a long journey, Xiaobai gradually left the bustling city center and arrived at the quiet area where the hospital was located.
When Xiaobai arrived at the hospital at night, he saw that the hospital gate was lit with a pale light, and in the square in front of the gate, a group of people holding up plaques that read "Peerless Divine Doctor" and "Living Buddha Who Saves the World" were still waving excitedly.
Seeing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile.
Ok……
It looks like this group will be holding up that sign outside the hospital for a very, very long time...
Xiao Bai dusted himself off, tidied himself up, and then walked into the hospital alone.
Xiao Bai made her way smoothly, taking the stairs and the elevator, and finally arrived at the care floor she had visited earlier that day, returning to Miao Yan's ward.
When Xiaobai arrived at Miao Yan's ward, the door opened, and one of the tall and short men she had seen that morning came out, touching his pocket.
Xiao Bai slowed his pace.
The man acted as if he hadn't noticed Xiaobai at all, patting his pocket as he walked past her and disappeared into the stairwell.
