Elder brother's garrison

Page 2708

"Yixian, good morning." Xiaobai nodded.

"I never expected that the Admiral would be with Chongqing and the others." Yi Xian glanced at Chongqing, who was pouting, and then looked at Xiao Bai and said.

"Ah... about this... actually I came with Changchun and the others. It was by chance that I met Chongqing and Ning Haizhao with them." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly and explained with a smile to Yixian.

"A chance encounter?" Yi Xian seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, yes!" A figure in dark blue appeared before the group. It was Zhao He. She put her hands on her hips with a smug look and said to Yi Xian, "At first, Sister Chongqing made a lot of new pastries and invited us to come and visit Sister Yi Xian! But as soon as we got here, we found that the Admiral was already here with a bunch of sisters we'd never seen before, haha! I was the first to spot them! Isn't that amazing!"

"What do you mean by 'I'm the boss'? You should speak like a girl in front of the Admiral." Ying Rui came up behind Zhao He and gently poked Zhao He's back with the flute in his hand.

"Ouch!" Zhao He put her hands behind her back, clutching her chest. She hopped around a couple of times and ran behind Chongqing, peeking out and sticking her tongue out at Ying Rui, making a face. "Hehehe! Ying Rui, you're such a hypocrite! You're actually the real..."

"Hmm?" Ying Rui smiled, her eyes crinkling together in a smile.

For some reason, everyone clearly felt that a strange shadow seemed to have appeared on Ying Rui's face, especially in his smiling eyes.

"Waaaah!" Zhao He quickly hugged Chongqing's waist tightly, shrinking behind Chongqing and remaining motionless.

"Zhaohe, don't do that, it tickles..." Chongqing hugged Zhaohe from behind and giggled.

"Ah—I want Chongqing all to myself, Pinghai wants her too!" Pinghai shouted, running forward in a few steps and hugging Chongqing's waist from the other side.

"Hey, hey..." Chongqing was caught off guard by the conflict between Zhaohe and Pinghai, and was swaying back and forth like a roly-poly toy.

“Pinghai, you shouldn’t get involved in this…” Ninghai looked at Pinghai helplessly, then turned to Yixian, “I’m so sorry, Sister Yixian, Pinghai and Zhaohe always start making a ruckus without warning. We agreed at the beginning that we would behave ourselves when we came here, but they are really a handful.”

Yi Xian looked at the scene before her with gentle and tender eyes.

Yi Xian didn't say anything in the end; she turned her head to look at Xiao Bai.

"Admiral," Yi Xian called out.

"I'm here." Xiaobai looked at Yixian.

"Please excuse my behavior. My children are not very obedient. As for Chongqing... don't let her appearance fool you. She's just like an older sister, but she often doesn't understand the atmosphere and doesn't set a good example." Yi Xian said to Xiao Bai, "When they're together, they always make the air around them a bit noisy. Please bear with them."

"Ah..." Xiaobai drawled as she looked at Chongqing, Zhaohe, and Pinghai. She smiled and said to Yixian, "It's great, so full of energy."

Hearing Xiaobai's words, Yixian seemed somewhat relieved.

Yi Xian lowered her eyes to look at the pastries on the tea table. She picked up a pastry, brought it to her lips, and gently sipped a corner. Then she put the pastry down, picked up the still warm teacup, and elegantly took a sip of tea.

Yi Xian's actions attracted everyone's attention.

"How does it taste?" The three people from Chongqing fell silent. Chongqing had one arm around Zhaohe and the other around Pinghai, and asked Yixian with curious eyes.

"Hmm, not sweet."

"Oh my god! The highest praise for Chinese desserts has been given!" Chongqing seemed quite happy, clenching her fair fist and waving it in the air.

Yixian looked at the group from Chongqing with gentle eyes. She reached out and picked up the bamboo basket, glanced down at the contents, and then handed the basket to Xiaobai.

"Would the Admiral like some too?"

"Ah, we just ate." Xiaobai waved her hand. "It was delicious, with a great texture and a fragrant aroma."

As Xiaobai spoke, the ship girls around her immediately nodded in agreement.

“So…” Yi Xian put down the bamboo basket, placed her hands flat on her thighs, and looked at Xiao Bai and the ship girls beside her. “Hmm… So, what brings the Admiral here to see Yi Xian this time? You even brought Chang Chun along.”

"Sister Yixian! We've come to visit relatives!" Changchun said to Yixian as soon as it was finally her turn to speak.

"Visiting relatives?"

"Yes, yes." Changchun quickly pulled Jinan and 1913 to her side, "Sister Yixian, these two are Jinan and 1913! They are our new ship girl partners."

"A new partner?" Yixian looked at 1913 and Jinan, her eyebrows twitching slightly as she looked at Xiaobai.

"I only joined the garrison not long ago," Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Hello, Sister Yixian!"

"Greetings, Senior Yixian."

As soon as Xiaobai spoke, Jinan immediately bowed ninety degrees to Yixian in a clear and sensible manner, and 1913 also bowed to Yixian in a salute.

Yixian gazed at Jinan, and after Jinan bowed deeply, she gently reached out and lightly touched Jinan's cheek with an extremely tender gesture.

"I've heard of Jinan's reputation a few times during my stay at the naval base. I heard that you joined the base not long ago, but you already helped the admiral a lot in Chapter 8." Yi Xian's hand lingered on Jinan's fox-like fluffy pink hair for a moment, her fingertips running through the strands, gently touching Jinan's skin. Then she withdrew her hand and nodded, saying, "Seeing you in person today, you do indeed possess a unique quality that is different from us old-fashioned ship girls. You are vibrant, cheerful, ambitious, and delightful."

"Hehehe, is this a compliment? Thank you, Sister Yixian!" Jinan scratched his head and gave Yixian an embarrassed smile.

Yixian's gaze turned to 1913.

In 1913, seeing Yixian looking at her, she nodded slightly to Yixian.

"1913..."

"It's me."

"...Yi Xian believes that I should know a little about the names of the ship girls in our camp, even those that haven't been released yet... but this 1913... is a name I've never heard of before." Yi Xian sat in the chair and asked 1913, "Excuse me, Miss 1913... may I ask if you could introduce yourself briefly? Perhaps this will awaken some related memories for me."

“Senior Yixian, it’s understandable that you don’t know me,” 1913 explained to Yixian, her eyes gleaming with a faint warmth, her voice gentle and melodious. “The so-called 1913… never actually referred to a specific ship. It merely represented a series of erroneous and blind plans, as well as vast amounts of unrealistic fantasies, that occurred during a turbulent era. I was just a wisp of smoke, carrying hopes of nowhere, fleeting in the long river of history, never having come, and leaving no trace.”

“…I see.” After listening to 1913’s explanation, Yi Xian understood immediately and seemed to comprehend a lot. Therefore, she looked at 1913 with more pity and sympathy. “Yi Xian understands…but in that case, you shouldn’t call me senior. You should have appeared before Yi Xian.”

“No, it’s not the same.” Upon hearing this, 1913 shook her head without changing her expression. “I am ultimately just a phantom, so what’s the point of talking about seniority? Logically speaking, I should be the junior of everyone here.”

"As you wish." Yi Xian didn't ask for much. She nodded to 1913, "But next time, you don't need to call me senior. Just call me by my ship name."

"Yes, Senior Yixian."

"..."

Chapter 3812 Frederick the Great's Chance Encounter

Yixian decided to temporarily set aside the question of who was the senior in 1913.

“Regardless of our identities, now that we belong to the same camp, we are like family here in this garrison.” Yi Xian spoke softly, patting her chest, and said gently to 1913, “1913, I hope we can visit each other often in the future and further our friendship.”

“Miss Yixian is right.” 1913 nodded.

"It's quite a coincidence that the Admiral brought two new companions to visit Yixian today, and people from Chongqing have also come." Yixian turned her gaze back to Xiaobai and said, "Chongqing didn't just start visiting me recently, but the Admiral has never run into Chongqing before."

"Ah... well, it's probably fate," Xiaobai said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Our ships... are they somehow drawn to each other?" Jinan asked the crowd.

"Haha... If only it were really attractive." Xiaobai smiled and stretched out her hand towards 1913 and Jinan. "Anyway, let me introduce them first. Over there is Chongqing, Ying Ruizhaohe, Pinghai and Ninghai."

In 1913, Jinan and Chongqing simultaneously turned their attention to Chongqing.

Chongqing and the four ship girls beside her waved enthusiastically to them.

Upon seeing this, Jinan also responded quickly in 1913.

“Sister 1913…you’re so tall! And so big…are you a heavy cruiser?” Pinghai and Ninghai, who were standing next to Chongqing, looked at 1913 with curiosity and asked.

“I am not a heavy patrolman, but a battle patrolman,” he replied in 1913.

“…Battlecruiser?” Pinghai and Ninghai were taken aback upon hearing this. They exchanged a glance, then their eyes widened and they exclaimed in unison, “Wow!”

"What?! Sister 1913, you're a battlecruiser?! You're a battlecruiser from our faction?! The kind that's huge and can fire super powerful shells?!" Ying Rui and Zhao He were astonished when 1913 reported her ship type. They immediately crowded around her, excitedly saying, "Our faction has never had a battleship-class ship before! You're the first!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Chongqing clapped along, his face beaming with joy.

"..." 1913 silently watched the ship girls suddenly become excited. Her gaze was slightly moved, and finally she smiled slightly at the ship girls, "After all, only the ship girls' bodies can accommodate such unrealistic fantasies."

"Oh, who cares if it's realistic or not! You're right here in front of us!" Zhao He walked up and patted 1913's body, saying, "Yeah! Big sister Battle Patrol is the best! From now on, I'll have a powerful backer at the naval base!"

“Zhaohe, having a battle patrol sister as your backer doesn’t mean you can act recklessly,” Ying Rui said.

"What's wrong? Sister 1913 is a gift from the Admiral!"

"If you cause trouble for the admiral... you know the consequences, right..."

"Oh my god, this is so scary! Sister from Chongqing, please help me!"

Zhaohe then dashed up behind Chongqing and began groping him.

"Hahaha, it itches so much... Don't touch me like that..." Chongqing grabbed Zhaohe's little hand and laughed without any defense.

"..."

This truly reflects what Yat-sen said.

These family members of Yi Xian can really cause trouble if you're not careful.

As Xiaobai watched the ship girls making a ruckus, she thought to herself and looked at Jinan beside her.

Jinan was cautiously observing the ship girls present.

"Jinan, aren't you going to talk to them?" Xiaobai asked.

"Huh? Me?" Jinan was taken aback. She turned to look at Xiaobai and blinked.

"Yes, they are your friends too. You can play with them."

"Hmph... My goal is to become the Admiral's wedding ship, I would never do such a childish thing!" Jinan said, hugging Xiaobai's arm and rubbing against it happily, "Playing with children is nowhere as good as playing with the Admiral."

"Ah! You pink fox over there, who are you calling a child!" The words from Jinan reached Chongqing, and Zhao He in Chongqing immediately perked up his ears and pointed at Jinan.

"Who's the pink fox? I'm from Jinan!"

"You're not Jinan, you're a destroyer! You're the youngest one here!" Zhao He said, hands on her hips. "I'm a noble light cruiser! You'll have to call me 'big sister' from now on!"

"What destroyer! I'm a guided-missile destroyer!"

"Then you're the pink fox destroyer that plays with missiles!"

"Hey, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Jinan was immediately enraged by Zhao He's words, her eyes widening in anger. She immediately let go of his hand, raised her hands like a little monster, and pounced on Zhao He.

"Oh no, the pink fox is biting people!" Zhao He immediately started running around Chongqing.

"Don't run, you disobedient brat, stop right there!" Jinan chased after Chongqing.

"Hey, hey, be careful, slow down..." Chongqing quickly reached out his hand, and seeing the two figures running rapidly around him, he immediately became worried.

"..."

Xiao Bai smiled as she watched the bustling scene in Chongqing. She then looked away and exchanged a glance with Yi Xian beside her.

Just then, Yi Xian handed a piece of osmanthus cake to Chao Yahe. When she saw Xiao Bai looking at her, Yi Xian put her hand down and spoke to Xiao Bai.

"Admiral, have you come here today just to introduce these two sisters of the same clan to me?"

“Yes… oh, no, to be precise, Changchun brought them to see you.” Xiaobai nodded, then shook her head, explaining.

"I see, Changchun is so thoughtful." Yixian looked at Changchun, her eyes filled with gentleness.

"Hehe..." Changchun scratched his head sheepishly, "Sister Yixian, what do you think of Sister 1913 and Jinan?"

“I think it’s great.” Yi Xian nodded. She looked at Changchun for a moment, then asked, “But… didn’t Anshan come with you today?”

“Ah… Sister Anshan…” As soon as Anshan was mentioned, Changchun touched his ear and looked at Xiaobai.

“Anshan just started her transformation yesterday and is currently working on the factory,” Xiaobai explained to Yixian. “It’s a pity that Anshan was supposed to come today, but it seems she won’t be able to make it to such a lively occasion. She’ll have to wait until next time.”

"So it's a renovation... I'll go check out the renovation factory after I get off work," Yi Xian said.

"Ah... Yixian, when you say 'off work'... do you mean the prison gatekeeper?"

"Exactly."

"Actually, you don't have to take it so seriously... It's okay to skip work occasionally." Xiaobai looked at the prison with its doors wide open.

“Yi Xian has become quite lax.” Yi Xian muttered to herself as she picked up her teacup and prepared to take a sip.

Just now.

Before Yi Xian's lips even touched the teacup, a sudden burst of intense cold air exploded from a distant direction, instantly reaching Xiao Bai and Yi Xian's side.

Buzz————

In an instant, the bushes around them rustled as if blown by a strong wind, and a large number of birds flapped their wings and flew away in panic, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Yi Xian's movements seemed to have been paused, frozen in place.

Immediately afterwards, a series of thuds rang out.

Just moments ago, Jinan and Zhaoqing were chasing each other near Chongqing, but both of them fell flat on their faces and landed on the ground.

"Hey... Jinan, Zhaohe, are you alright..." Chongqing subconsciously reached out to the two ship girls, but the next second, her body suddenly went limp, her face paled, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground, "...Ugh...!"
