Missouri's long hair transformed into countless fine strands, dancing in the wind.

Chapter 2753 The Joyful Party Begins

"—Missouri? It's you?"

Luo Lian stared in surprise at Missouri opening the door, and murmured to herself unconsciously.

Luo Lian never expected that someone else would open the door. She subconsciously looked at Missouri's outfit.

Missouri's figure is exceptionally good even among ship girls. She is tall, with a slender waist, shapely, snow-white legs, perfectly proportioned arms, a full but not exaggerated bust, and delicate, elegant collarbones. Every inch of her skin exudes the charm of an outstanding woman. At this moment, Missouri is wearing a light flesh-colored nightgown. Her beautiful figure is perfectly highlighted by the thin fabric, creating a dreamlike, soft curve. Moonlight shines down from the sky, illuminating Missouri's skin, making it appear white with a pinkish hue, and one can almost smell the refreshing scent of milk.

Missouri's current attire is...unconventional. Could it be that she was dressed like this before...?

Little... Little White!

Even a genius like Luo Lian, upon seeing Missouri's outfit, instantly recalled certain plot points, causing her brain to freeze for a considerable time. She stood there dumbfounded.

"Oh, it's Admiral Luo Lian." Just as Luo Lian was in a state of malfunction, Missouri, standing at the door, smiled brightly at Luo Lian. "Admiral Luo Lian, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

"...May I join?"

“Of course you can.” Missouri said, reaching out and taking Luo Lian’s hand with a light laugh, pulling her into Xiao Bai’s dormitory. “The Admiral has been waiting for you since morning.”

"Xiaobai? She...she's waiting for me?"

Luo Lian murmured, her eyes widening even more, but her body did not resist Missouri's pull.

After a few words, Luo Lian finally entered Xiao Bai's dormitory.

Xiao Bai's dormitory was brightly lit.

Shiro, dressed in cartoon pajamas; Nia, in ordinary pajamas; Richelieu, dressed in a maid outfit; the Veneto-class ship girls from Nia's family, draped in four different colored gauze pajamas; and Shiro's family's Enterprise, Changchun, Anshan, Super Yamato, Barbarossa, Abyssal Akagi, Iowa-class ship girls, Veneto-class ship girls, Fubuki-class ship girls, Saratoga, and many more, all gathered together.

"So I'm telling you, when the Admiral first came to our naval base..." The four Fubuki-class destroyers of Xiaobai pulled along Roma from Nia's family, chattering about Xiaobai. Roma from Nia's family listened attentively, her amber and blue eyes sparkling with interest.

"Watch my performance! Glug glug glug—Ugh!" Saratoga jumped up in front of everyone, holding a bottle of Coke, and spun around in a little whirlwind before shoving the Coke can into his mouth.

"Wow! Isn't that Washington's signature move, Dragon's Breath?! Saratoga, when did you learn that move?!" A group of ship girls surrounding Saratoga clapped excitedly.

"Super easy!"

"As expected of Saratoga—"

"A royal flush!" Another powerful voice rang out. Not far from Saratoga, Veneto from Nia's family slammed the last two cards in his hand onto the table. "Haha, I won again!"

“Veneto, I didn’t expect you to have such a talent for card games.” Behind Veneto, Littorio, wearing a black gauze nightgown, nodded in approval.

"Hmph... This level of calculation is very simple for me!"

"I lost again! What a terrible game! I'm doomed!" Wisconsin threw down a card she hadn't played and howled miserably at the ceiling. "Am I just naturally immune to games of chance?! Losing at board games is one thing, but even at Dou Dizhu (a card game) this badly—"

Inside the brightly lit room, various snacks and desserts were laid out on the table. The ship girls, dressed in different pajamas, gathered in twos and threes. There were makeshift beds on the floor, scattered playing cards, tied ropes, a tablet computer playing a TV series, and a music player playing melodious music. Although it was still a quiet night outside, everyone inside was in high spirits, as lively as if it were a festival.

Xiaobai's dormitory is usually very spacious.

But looking at the scene before her, with her jade-like body lying across the field and a hundred flowers in full bloom, Luo Lian felt a sense of crowding for the first time.

"Admiral, it really is Admiral Luo Lian knocking at the door. Missouri brought her here." Missouri held Luo Lian's hand, smiling as she led her over the ship girls lying haphazardly on the ground. She turned back with a smile and said, "Ah, Admiral Luo Lian, be careful, don't accidentally step on the bodies of the other seniors."

"Oh! Admiral Luo Lian, you've had enough rest!"

"Good evening, Admiral Luo Lian!"

"Admiral Luo Lian, would you like some cola? Haha, but drinking this so late at night might keep you awake—just kidding!"

"..."

As soon as the ship girls in the room saw Luo Lian, they all greeted her with smiles.

Luo Lian was escorted by Missouri all the way to Xiao Bai's bedside.

At this moment, on Xiao Bai's big bed, Xiao Bai, wearing cartoon pajamas, was smiling at Luo Lian. She sat on the soft sheets like a duck, with the heads of her own family and Nia's family's empires resting on her thighs.

"Lianlian, good evening." Xiaobai greeted Luo Lian with a smile.

“Xiao Bai…” Luo Lian stared blankly at Xiao Bai, “What are you doing…”

"Ah... this scene is hard to understand, right?" Xiaobai smiled a little embarrassedly, touched the forehead of the Empire on her thigh, and said to Luo Lian, "Simply put... there's a ship girl pajama party going on in my dormitory, so you see a lot of people here."

“Pajama party…” Luo Lian repeated after Xiao Bai, the tension and unease in her eyes finally dissipating, but a trace of regret and pity quickly flashed across her face, “So… that’s how it is…”

Luo Lian lowered her head, covered her forehead, and sighed.

"Huh? Lianlian, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian curiously.

"It's nothing, I'm just calming myself down." Luo Lian looked up and muttered to herself, "I should have noticed something like this much sooner... It seems my reasoning ability weakens when it involves you..."

Luo Lian shook her head after seeing Xiao Bai's expression on the bed, halfway through her sentence.

"Never mind, pretend I didn't say anything." Luo Lian shook her head.

"I see." Xiaobai smiled.

A glass of iced soda was handed to Luo Lian by a pair of hands. Luo Lian turned her head and saw that it was Nia who had handed her the drink.

"Luo Lian, here! This is chilled, it tastes so refreshing." Nia's face still had a faint blush, and she felt like she was about to float away.

"...You've been drinking?" Luo Lian took the drink from Nia and sniffed it gently.

"No, no, I don't drink alcohol." Nia cupped her cheeks and smiled contentedly. "Hehe, it's just that I've been in this atmosphere for so long that I couldn't help but do it."

“In a sense, it’s not the wine that makes you drunk, it’s the person who gets drunk, right?” Missouri said with a smile.

“Yes, yes! As expected of Missouri, she’s really eloquent!” Nia nodded happily, and as she spoke, it seemed as if several pink flowers bloomed around her.

“Commander—we’re one short for our card game!” Not far away, Veneto from Nia’s family, who was sitting with Barbarossa, raised his hand and called out to Nia.

“Coming—!” Nia responded sweetly, then bowed to Luo Lian and Missouri, before skipping and hopping over to Veneto.

Luo Lian silently watched Nia's back, then looked down at the cold carbonated drink in her hand.

"Am I still dreaming?" Luo Lian asked, a rare occurrence for her.

"This is reality, you know," Little White on the bed said with a smile.

"...It's hard to imagine that your room would turn out like this, Xiaobai."

"Well... I didn't expect this at first either..." Xiao Bai scratched her cheek awkwardly as she listened to Luo Lian's complaint, then looked at Missouri next to Luo Lian.

“Originally, only the Admiral and Admiral Nia were in this room. Their intention today was to avoid disturbing Admiral Luo Lian’s rest, so Admiral Nia will stay in the same room with you for the time being.” Missouri put her hands behind her back and smiled at Luo Lian. “As soon as Missouri heard the news, she came to find the Admiral immediately.”

Looking for Xiaobai?

“Yes, even if the Admiral and Admiral Nia have a good relationship, it would be a little difficult to adjust to living together at first.” Missouri’s lips curled up slightly. “So, in order to help the two of them get along better, Missouri specially came here to stay as well, acting as a lubricant for the friendship between the Admiral and Admiral Nia.”

"What about the others?"

“Missouri came to the Admiral’s place, and Iowa, Wisconsin, and New Jersey naturally knew about it, so they secretly followed her over,” Missouri said without any surprise. “As more people came over, more and more ship girl seniors came to visit. We even bumped into another senior, Veneto, who wanted to come here for a late-night interview with the Admiral. In short, the situation in this room gradually became like this.”

"I see..." Hearing this, Luo Lian nodded and then gave Missouri a thumbs up. "Well done, Missouri."

"If Admiral Luo Lian has any requests, please give them to Missouri. Missouri is nearby." Missouri smiled, bowed slightly, and then withdrew.

Looking at the lively scene around her, Luo Lian exchanged a few glances with Xiao Bai on the bed, then, holding the carbonated drink in her arms, climbed onto the bed and sat down next to Xiao Bai.

Suck.

Luo Lian took a sip of soda.

It's icy cold and tastes especially good.

Chapter 2754 looks so familiar.

"Aren't you going to play with the ship girls?" Luo Lian put down her half-finished soda and tilted her head to ask Xiao Bai on the bed.

"Ok?"

"Are these two already asleep?" Luo Lian pointed to the two empires resting their heads on Xiao Bai's lap.

"Ah...they." Xiaobai smiled gently, touching the foreheads of the two Roman girls, and said slowly, "It's alright. I'm quite content sitting on the bed watching the ship girls. Besides...if I go down to be with the ship girls, I won't be able to have a proper chat with you, Lianlian."

Luo Lian was stunned.

Luo Lian tilted her head and looked at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai also looked at Luo Lian and sweetly pursed her lips.

"Lianlian, although I really want a special ship girl, I'm also worried about your health. Please don't stay up all night working for me anymore," Xiaobai said to Luo Lian. "I'll be very sad if you collapse from exhaustion."

“…Hmm.” Luo Lian looked down at the cup in her hand. “Okay, I promise you.”

The conversation between Xiao Bai and Luo Lian was so simple.

Just like their relationship, it was sincere and straightforward.

They were so straightforward that they didn't even need any preamble; they could get straight to the point and end the conversation with just a few words from each other.

Hearing Luo Lian's agreement, Xiao Bai smiled with relief.

"Lianlian, let's go to the 8-1 sea area tomorrow morning to unlock the second set of scientific research questions."

"Ah."

"After finishing the second set of questions, it will be the third set... I wonder what the reward will be after unlocking the second research lock, and I don't know how difficult the questions in the third lock will be..." Xiaobai muttered to himself.

"Judging from the range of the questions, it will probably be more than ten times more difficult than the second set," Luo Lian said, her gaze straightforward. "But don't worry, Xiao Bai, I promised you I wouldn't stay up all night solving problems anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai turned to Luo Lian and smiled with satisfaction.

"Lianlian, thank you."

"My relationship with you doesn't require thanks."

Luo Lian looked up straight and spoke righteously.

Xiao Bai was moved by Luo Lian's words. She gazed at Luo Lian tenderly, and just as she opened her mouth to speak—

"Admiral!"

The next second, a pair of slender arms reached out from behind Luo Lian and hugged her shoulders.

Luo Lian's back immediately felt as if it had bumped into an extremely soft sponge.

"Admiral—you're finally here—I…hiccup—I've been waiting for you for so long!" Desmond popped up from behind, blushing as he hugged Luo Lian, and started talking nonstop like a floodgate had opened, "Admiral—when is Warspite coming home—without her around, no one can manage your daily life—it's so tiring to have to work and deal with all the chores—it's all your fault for always causing me trouble—Admiral Lu Lin cares about you a lot too, Admiral, you don't take your health seriously at all, I need to vent all my frustrations to you—"

As he spoke, Desmond leaned forward, almost knocking Luo Lian over.

"Des Moines—? You've been drinking?!" Luo Lian raised her hand and covered Des Moines's mouth.

"I only drank a little bit, just a tiny bit... Anyway, I'm not going to war." Desmond slumped against Luo Lian, pulling her off the bed. "Admiral, why are you still dressed for the pajamas line-up? You're such a worry. Looks like I'll have to help Warspite undress you again..."

"Wait, wait a minute, I'm not wearing pajamas underneath..."

"Admiral—be good, it'll be over in a second—hiccup...hehehehehehe..."

Under Xiao Bai's watchful gaze, the helpless Luo Lian was dragged off the bed by the drunken Desmond.

After a while.

Suddenly, exclamations of ship girls came from under the bed, such as "Admiral, your skin is so nice!" "Wow, Admiral Luo Lian actually..." "Quick, someone find me some clothes!" and splashing sounds like chickens and ducks being caught.

Xiao Bai listened to the lively noise and smiled helplessly.

……

Tonight, both the ship girls and the admirals are sleepless.

The lively atmosphere lasted all night until dawn, when the ship girls finally collapsed onto their makeshift beds, leaning against each other and falling asleep, still feeling the afterglow of their enjoyment.

I slept soundly until almost noon.

After getting up, Xiaobai, Nia, and Luolian dismissed the ship girls in the room. After getting dressed, washing up, and having a late breakfast, they went to the training ground of the temporary naval base to prepare for their departure to the 8-1 sea area.

"Ugh... um... I feel like my steps are floating." On the playground, Nia's head was spinning as she leaned against a bench and muttered to herself.

Although the pajama party last night was a fun-filled night, maintaining a highly excited state throughout was also quite tiring. Nia doesn't have the same physique as Xiaobai, who is comparable to a ship girl, nor is she used to working all night like Luo Lian. She is just an ordinary human with a healthy lifestyle, so she inevitably experienced some "hangover"-like physiological reactions the next morning.

"Nia, are you alright? Should we rest today? We can go to the 8-1 sea area another day?" Xiaobai asked worriedly from the side.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine..." Nia shook her head quickly upon hearing that she had a day off, then tried her best to cheer herself up, "Don't worry, Xiaobai, I... I just have the aftereffects of staying up all night! I'll just go out and get some sun and take a walk later! It's rare that Luo Lian gave you the answers to the second set of test questions, it wouldn't be good for us to keep dragging this on! Besides, I'm also really looking forward to seeing how things go on with the research and construction machine later!"

Nia kept talking to Xiaobai, her eyes full of anticipation.

"I see..." Xiaobai nodded, seeing Nia's expression. "Well, since you've said that... but if you feel unwell later, remember to tell me immediately."

“Hmm!” Nia nodded, shifting her gaze from Xiaobai to Luo Lian on the other side.

Looking at Luo Lian's perpetually calm expression, Nia blushed as she recalled what had happened at the pajama party the night before.
