Elder brother's garrison

"...Lexington, what do you mean?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

“What I mean is…” Lexington said, standing up from her seat. She took Xiaobai’s hand, bent down, and brought her face close to Xiaobai’s eyes, filling Xiaobai’s entire field of vision with her flawless beauty. Then she slowly said to Xiaobai, word by word, “How about we… turn the lie into the truth? Tonight… do you want to come to my house? I want to hear Xiaobai’s stories from the deep sea.”

Lexington's voice is gentle and tender, full of maternal warmth.

But for some reason, this beautiful and reassuring voice gave Xiaobai a feeling of being... seduced by a devil.

what……

Looking at the smiling Lexington in front of him, Xiaobai belatedly realized what was happening.

Is it...

The reason Lexington took the blame for me before... was actually to set the stage for today?

Chapter 2001 Seeing a Ghost

Xiao Bai suddenly realized.

No wonder Lexington was so eager to take the blame for me after discovering I hadn't returned home at night several times before. After discovering that the reason I hadn't returned home was because I had secretly dived into the deep sea to investigate, she not only didn't reprimand me, but also risked damaging her reputation to help me hide my diving from the other ship girls. This afternoon, to dispel my doubts, she even made a heartfelt confession to me when I had free time, saying that everything the secretary ship does is to serve the admiral, and helping the admiral is only right and proper, etc...

Now think about it.

really!

Lexington is Lexington; it's all preparation for being able to openly and legitimately let myself stay overnight!

Now that all the ship girls in the naval base know that they haven't been home for the past two nights because Lexington kept them at her house, then even if Lexington really invites them to stay overnight tonight, and they do stay at Lexington's house for the night, none of the ship girls in the naval base will find it strange...

Absolutely!

The lie has come true!

After Xiaobai figured it out, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Is this how adults operate...?

I still have a long way to go...

"Little White, how are you?" Looking at Little White, who was standing there like a wooden statue, Lexington smiled gently. She gently shook Little White's shoulder and asked with a smile.

Lexington's smile has a comforting effect.

Xiao Bai's chaotic thoughts quickly calmed down.

"This...uh...this..." Xiaobai snapped out of her daze, blinked at Lexington, and involuntarily shrank back. Then, with a somewhat complicated expression, she looked at Lexington and said, "Lexington, didn't we just promise Akagi and the others that we wouldn't stay out all night anymore..."

"...Are you worried about Akagi, Xiaobai? It's alright." Lexington smiled happily after hearing Xiaobai's words. "As the saying goes, once you start, you'll start again. With the experience from the previous two times, I believe that Akagi and the others must have made preparations to prevent you from going back tonight after we left."

"Huh? Is that so?"

“She knows very well how sincere I am, after all, we’ve been friends for a long time.” Lexington stuck out her tongue at Little White.

"To understand this much, you really are good friends..."

"So don't worry about Chapter Eight right now, as long as you're willing, Xiaobai... If you don't want to come with me, Xiaobai, I won't force you." Lexington said slowly, her voice low as she spoke, the maternal and gentle look in her eyes softening and quickly transitioning into a girlish expectation.

Alexander was being watched by Lexington's expectant gaze.

Ok……

how to say……

Although Xiaobai does feel a bit of a headache, like he's been outmaneuvered by Lexington, he surprisingly doesn't dislike this development.

After all, it's Lexington...

She is Saratoga's older sister, the secretary ship of the newbie naval base, and one of the ship girls she trusts most.

Rather.

Perhaps this is the blind spot in her thinking that comes from spending so much time together in the Admiral's office... If Lexington hadn't reminded her tonight, Xiaobai wouldn't have realized it herself. It turns out that she's been an Admiral at the newbie naval base for so long, and she's visited the homes of all the ship girls in the base several times, but she's never been to Lexington's home even once.

It does seem a bit outrageous...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a touch of awkward apology in his gaze as he looked at Lexington.

“I…I think it’s great,” Xiaobai said to Lexington. “After all, I’ve been at the naval base for so long, but I’ve never been to your house in Lexington. Now I really want to go once.”

"So you're willing?"

"Hmm." At this point in the conversation, Xiaobai relaxed a bit, looking at Lexington with an expectant expression. "Can you take me to your house, Lexington?"

"It's an honor." Lexington lowered his hand and smiled happily at Little White.

After tidying up the documents in the office, it was already 11:30 p.m. Xiaobai and Lexington turned off the lights in the admiral's office and left.

I walked out of the office building.

The sky outside the building was filled with twinkling stars.

"Lexington, do you get off work this late every day?" Xiaobai followed Lexington toward the aircraft carrier's dormitory building. Looking at the stars and moon in the sky, she couldn't help but ask Lexington.

"Today is actually quite late. At other times, around 7 or 8 pm... or at the latest 10 pm, I can always finish work." Lexington breathed on his hands, rubbed them gently, and turned to Xiaobai with a smile. "After all, although the workload has decreased recently and the work is much easier, the delivery time for some documents doesn't matter."

"Ten o'clock..." Xiaobai's voice was complicated.

“It’s already very good. Since you came to the naval base, I haven’t stayed up all night in the office for a long time.” Lexington said softly, looking up at the night sky. “...The stars are beautiful tonight, the sea breeze is very comfortable, and the rustling sound of the breeze on the plants is also very pleasant...I am already very satisfied.”

"……Thanks for your hard work."

"Little White, you've worked hard too." Lexington patted Little White's head. "Speaking of which... Little White."

"Ok?"

“When we parted ways before, you said that Chaoda and her mother would wait for you at home... That girl is very obedient. If you hadn’t told her that you weren’t coming home tonight, she might have obediently knelt down at home and waited for you all night.”

"Ah! I, I'll go back to the Bismarck family right away..."

"No need. Actually... before I left work, I secretly sent a telegram to Bismarck's family. I believe Loki has already received the telegram and told the others that you're not coming back."

"...Thank you." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

“Of course.” Lexington stroked the white hair at the back of Little White’s head, twirling the silvery strands between his fingertips as he spoke softly.

The dormitories for the ship girls at the newbie naval base are essentially more like apartment buildings. Shiro followed Lexington into her building, up each floor, and along the corridor towards the back, finally stopping at the door of her apartment marked "Lexington".

Lexington took out a bunch of keys, skillfully opened the door, then bent down, took the keys out of the keychain, and handed them to Xiaobai.

"Little White," Lexington said with a smile to Little White.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"You have the keys to the Akagi family, the Hood family, and the Bismarck family's house, right?" Lexington handed his keys to Xiaobai. "Here, these are the keys to my and Jiajia's house."

"Oh, oh..." Little White took the key Lexington handed him, looking down at it for a moment. "I'll keep it safe..."

"Welcome." Lexington smiled, opened the door, and stood by it.

Xiao Bai looked up and instinctively glanced inside the door. After seeing the interior of Lexington's house, his eyes widened in surprise: "Wow..."

The interior design of the Lexington family home is the kind of luxurious European style that Xiaobai only sees in the villas of wealthy families in TV dramas.

"Let's go in and take a look." Lexington gently pushed Xiaobai's back and pushed him into the house, then followed closely behind Xiaobai and closed the door.

This was the first time Xiaobai had ever been to such a sophisticated and elegantly decorated room. For a moment, she stood in the entryway, unsure of what to do.

"The layout of the house is similar to Bismarck's. The living room is over there, the kitchen is over there, the bathroom is inside, and the bedroom is upstairs." Lexington gently pointed out the direction of each area in the room to Xiaobai, then patted Xiaobai's shoulder lightly and smiled at him, "Xiaobai, are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles for a midnight snack?"

"Uh...okay...okay..." Xiaobai blinked and replied blankly.

"Then, Xiaobai, go and rest in the living room. Remember to relax a bit; this place is actually not much different from the Bismarck's house." Lexington said with a smile, without escorting Xiaobai to the living room, but instead walked into the kitchen next to the hallway. Soon, the sound of the stove being turned on came from the kitchen.

Xiao Bai looked down at the elegant wallpaper, the clean floor tiles, and the obviously expensive shoe cabinet next to her, which displayed various women's high heels. She couldn't help but bend down and glance at the glass window of the shoe cabinet. The glass window of the shoe cabinet was like a museum exhibit, displaying many beautiful and gorgeous high heels.

"Oh...oh...I didn't know Lexington had so many beautiful high heels...wait, there are even Saratoga's? Oh right...speaking of Saratoga, she was the kind of lady who could wear pretty high heels and climb on the roof..." Xiaobai sighed twice as she approached the shoe cabinet, then took out a pair of indoor slippers from the bottom of the cabinet, put them on, and carefully walked towards the living room. "Lexington's house is really lavishly decorated..."

Hearing the sound of the stove coming from the kitchen, Xiaobai walked to the living room door and opened it.

I just opened the living room door.

Xiao Bai saw a short figure with a full head of white hair sitting on the floor like a duck, happily munching on a bunch of snacks like a hamster.

Seemingly hearing the living room door open, the white figure sitting on the floor paused, a round biscuit dangling from her mouth, and turned to look towards the living room doorway.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the white figure in the living room.

"Huh? Bai Ying? What are you doing here..." Xiao Bai said in surprise.

"Wow!!!"

Before Xiaobai could even ask a question, Bai Ying's face turned pale upon seeing Xiaobai's expression. The biscuit in her mouth snapped in two with a snap, and she jumped up from the ground like a spring, letting out a scream as if she had seen a ghost.

Chapter 2002 Come, let me comb your hair.

Bai Ying's feelings for Xiao Bai are very complicated.

When Bai Ying first met Xiao Bai, she spoke to Xiao Bai as an elder, and her every move and gesture resembled that of an old and composed legal loli, full of authority.

Later, when Xiao Bai went on a trip to Chapter Six, Bai Ying met her again. Xiao Bai chewed up Bai Ying's most treasured ship-slaying sword piece by piece until it became scrap metal. At that time, Bai Ying's mentality had already undergone some subtle changes.

Until the very end of the sixth chapter, in front of Bai Ying, Xiao Bai pinned the deep-sea monster, which Bai Ying had tried everything to defeat, to the ground and used his seemingly harmless little white teeth to devour it piece by piece. Then, he stood up, wiped his mouth, and innocently asked Bai Ying if she was hurt...

Bai Ying began to respect and even fear Xiao Bai.

—After all, in Bai Ying's eyes, the current Xiao Bai was far more terrifying than any Deep Sea Dean, Deep Sea Monster, or anything else in the Deep Sea. From then on, no matter what Xiao Bai said to Bai Ying, she would always recall the scene of Xiao Bai devouring the Deep Sea Monster. Experience, age, and status all became meaningless in the face of Xiao Bai's ferocious fighting power. Bai Ying felt that she had transformed from a beloved senior ship girl back into a trembling little loli, and couldn't help but become submissive to Xiao Bai.

Some time ago.

When Xiaobai finished her mission at Ella's house and was preparing to head towards Chapter Eight, she took all the Bismarck family members and cats with her, leaving only Bai Ying to guard the house. Actually, Xiaobai's intention was that Bai Ying was quite capable in combat, so she suggested that Bai Ying go with them. However, out of "respect and fear" for Xiaobai, Bai Ying said that she was fine staying at home as a doorman and chose to stay behind alone.

These past few days, when Xiaobai returned to Bismarck's house, she didn't see Bai Ying there. She thought Bai Ying was bored at home and went to visit some ship girl's dormitory in the naval base. Little did she expect that Xiaobai would see Bai Ying at Lexington's house.

"So, because you've been staying home alone these past few days, Lexington thought you might be lonely, so she invited you to her house for a visit, right?"

In the European-style living room of the Lexington family home, Xiaobai sat on the sofa, munching on the cookies that Bai Ying hadn't finished eating, while asking Bai Ying a question.

Bai Ying clutched the hem of her clothes, standing by the coffee table, nodding like a primary school student caught skipping school by the homeroom teacher, not daring to look up at Xiao Bai.

"Oh...no wonder I haven't seen you these past few days." Xiao Bai nodded with a sigh and smiled at Bai Ying.

"Eek!" Bai Ying's thin shoulders trembled slightly upon hearing Xiao Bai's words. She thought Xiao Bai was angry about her sudden disappearance, and her face turned pale with fright. "I...I'm sorry...I, I'll go back right now..."

"It's alright, you can stay here with me..."

"..." Xiaobai's forehead was sweating.

"Come on, sit here." Xiaobai patted the seat next to him.

"..." Bai Ying raised her eyes and glanced at the seat next to Xiao Bai. She hesitated for a while, then closed her eyes, held her breath, and like a brave warrior going to her death, took three steps in two to walk to Xiao Bai's side and sat down with a thud.

"What have you been doing at the Lexington house while I was away?" Xiaobai asked Bai Ying with a smile.

"I...I'm praying for you...I wish you a safe journey..." Bai Ying trembled.

"...Huh? Oh, oh... thank you." Xiaobai looked at Bai Ying with some surprise, and couldn't help but feel touched. "Anything else?"

"And...and also, watching TV, eating snacks...and sleeping..." Bai Ying lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

"It's practically like Tirpitz, all that's missing is playing video games." Xiaobai chuckled. "Did Lexington chat with you after get off work?"

"Have……"

"Oh... well, it seems you're doing quite well." Xiao Bai nodded, then muttered to herself with a touch of shame, "Sigh... I never imagined that as an admiral, I would arrive at Lexington's house later than you, Bai Ying. I'm truly ashamed..."

"..." Bai Ying sat awkwardly next to Xiao Bai, her forehead sweating profusely with nervousness.

Just then, Lexington finally appeared in the living room.

"Looks like Xiaobai and Baiying, you two are having a lively chat in the living room. What are you talking about? Can I join you?" Lexington walked into the living room carrying a plate containing three bowls of instant noodles. She smiled at the two white furry friends on the sofa, walked to the coffee table, and gently placed the plate on it. "Here, eat."

The aroma of braised beef flavored instant noodles wafts from the golden-red broth and the pale yellow, curved noodles, instantly filling the entire living room.

"Thanks, Lexington." Xiaobai picked up a bowl of instant noodles and smiled at Lexington. "Lexington, why didn't you tell me before that Bai Ying had come to your house?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to add a little surprise to the overnight stay?" Lexington pulled a cushion from under the coffee table and sat on the floor, smiling at Xiaobai sitting on the sofa. "Ever since Jiajia left with you, I've been a bit lonely at home and wanted someone to talk to. I thought Bai Ying was in the same boat over there, so I went over there and asked her if she would like to come and stay with me for a few days. I didn't expect her to actually agree."

"Oh...it's more lively with two people, after all." Xiaobai nodded. She looked down at her bowl and realized that she didn't have her chopsticks, so she looked under the coffee table with her eyes.

Just then, Xiaobai felt Bai Ying nudge her arm.

"Chopsticks." Bai Ying held out a pair of chopsticks that she had somehow produced and handed them to Xiao Bai.

"Oh... thank you..." Xiao Bai took Bai Ying's chopsticks, blew on them, and was about to take a bite of noodles when she felt Bai Ying poke her arm.

"A spoon." Bai Ying took out a soup spoon and presented it to Xiao Bai as if it were a tribute.
