Elder brother's garrison

Xiaobai sent the last message.

Drop drop drop.

Tirpitz's image went dark.

System notification: Your friend "Teacher Beizhai" has gone offline.

Looking at the chat history between herself and Tirpitz... or rather, Lexington, Xiaobai nodded and sighed.

This chat is so... how come everyone logs off at lightning speed after chatting with me?

Just as Xiaobai was about to turn off her phone, the beeping sound of messages rang out again.

Xiaobai's face darkened. This time, she didn't even look at the message and exited the chat software.

The internet is great, but we must remember to cherish the people around us.

I'll reply to the rest of the messages when I have time.

Xiao Bai put her phone back in her clothes and looked at Nia and Wu Yi sitting next to her.

"Xiaobai, it seems like a lot of people were looking for you just now..." Nia asked Xiaobai cautiously, "Aren't you going to reply?"

"It's alright... probably." Xiaobai shook her head and smiled at Nia. "I've replied to most of the important messages. More important than these things, you and Lianlian just got back, so I want to spend more time with you."

"Ah... Little, Little White!" Upon hearing Little White's words, Nia blushed with surprise and joy. She hugged her arms tightly to her chest, her eyes shining like stars in the night sky. "I, I'm so happy! Even if... what you said is just a lie, I'm still so happy!"

"It's not a lie..."

"Waaah, Little White—you're the best."

Nia pounced on Xiaobai's waist, wrapped her arms around it, and rubbed against Xiaobai's belly.

Little White stroked Nia's head and couldn't help but laugh.

In the time that followed, Xiaobai kept his word.

After a long and arduous journey, Nia and Luo Lian finally finished their mission and returned to Chapter 8. Xiao Bai reunited with her two best friends, and the three of them stayed in the dormitory chatting all day.

The girls chatted about this and that, and time flew by.

It wasn't until midnight that Nia, one of the three, was the first to succumb to sleepiness and fell into Xiaobai's arms. Xiaobai then helped Nia onto the bed, exchanged a glance with Luo Lian, and the two smiled knowingly.

“Nia is very healthy. There aren’t many people who go to bed this early these days,” Xiaobai said to Luo Lian.

“She is indeed healthy… but Nia can actually stay up very late.” As her roommate, Luo Lian had a lot to say about Nia’s physical condition. She explained to Xiao Bai, “If it were with you, Xiao Bai, she could definitely stay up all night without any problem.”

"Nanya is now...?"

“She hasn’t slept for two days.” Luo Lian shook her head. “She didn’t sleep at all last night either.”

"Hey? Why?"

"Hmm..." Luo Lian looked up at the innocent-looking Xiao Bai, "Let's just say she's having trouble adjusting to the new environment."

Luo Lian wouldn't tell Xiao Bai that Nia couldn't sleep last night because she was worried that Xiao Bai had angered her since he didn't come home all night.

It's best to keep these things to yourself.

"I didn't expect to get sick from the change in environment even when I'm home..." Xiaobai looked at Nia, who was sleeping soundly, and sighed, "It seems that Nia has really worked hard to improve her ranking in the exercises..."

"Hmm." Luo Lian remained noncommittal.

If she puts in the effort... Nia certainly does.

Although this has no direct causal relationship with Nia's "acclimatization issues," at least she did try her best.

Luo Lian raised her hand and patted Nia's head as if she were rubbing a chick.

Although Xiaobai is gentle and kind, to be honest, it's really hard for most people to keep up with her pace.

Many people who chased after Xiaobai eventually lost sight of him and were left far behind.

For an ordinary person like Nia, the effort she put in to stay by Xiaobai's side is unimaginable to most people.

Of course, besides hard work, luck is also very important.

Nia achieved what she has today through 99% effort and 1% luck.

"Lianlian, what are you thinking about?" Xiaobai turned her head and looked at Luo Lian curiously.

"I was thinking...would you like to stay here and sleep tonight?"

"Haha, that's a great suggestion! Lianlian, would you like to sleep with me?" Xiaobai asked, clutching her chest with one hand.

Puff—Pull

Two streams of blood gushed from Luo Lian's snow-white nose like a fountain.

Chapter 3125 Admiral who cleared stage 8-4

The nosebleed immediately stained Luo Lian's clothes with two red streaks.

Luo Lian swayed, and she quickly covered her nose, but a torrent of blood still gushed out from between her fingers, staining the back of her hand red.

"Huh?? Lian, Lianlian?? What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

Xiao Bai was startled by Luo Lian's nosebleed. She quickly sat up from the bed, ignoring Luo Lian's blood-covered body, and made to approach her.

Luo Lian quickly shook her head. She raised her other clean hand and pushed Xiao Bai away from the range of her nosebleed.

"I'm fine, don't panic, it's not a big problem."

"This is a huge problem, a really huge problem! The speed at which this nosebleed is like something out of a comic book!"

"It's just a little bit of technical blood splattering..."

"Lianlian, you...you should go get checked out..." Xiaobai kept handing Luo Lian tissues, asking somewhat fearfully, "The way you keep getting nosebleeds...it's really scary..."

Luo Lian used almost half a wastebasket of toilet paper to finally stop the gushing nosebleed.

Seemingly due to significant blood loss, Luo Lian's face was covered with a pale and weak expression.

"It's okay... Everything I'm going through now is my own fault..." Luo Lian said weakly, covering her nose with a tissue, to Xiao Bai, "I shouldn't have joked with you... It's my fault."

"Huh? Just kidding..."

"Xiao Bai, I'm tired... You should go back to your dorm and rest..." Luo Lian got up, opened the dorm door, and said weakly to Xiao Bai, "I'll just lie down on the bed with Nia for a bit, see you tomorrow."

"Huh? But... well, alright then." Xiaobai stared blankly at Luo Lian. She was very concerned about Luo Lian's health, but seeing the weak and tired yet determined look in Luo Lian's eyes, Xiaobai, who knew Luo Lian's personality well, knew that she was truly determined this time. So Xiaobai walked to the door with regret and said to Luo Lian, "Then Lianlian... if you need anything, remember to tell me... and about the physical examination too..."

Luo Lian nodded and waved her hand.

Xiao Bai then left the dormitory, looking back every few steps.

Luo Lian closed the door, let out a long sigh, and staggered to a chair next to her, where she sat down.

"That was close... I almost died..."

"You can't play jokes like that on Xiaobai next time..."

Luo Lian held her forehead and murmured softly to herself.

Having arrived here, Luo Lian raised her head and looked at Nia.

On the bed, Nia was sleeping soundly, hugging her pillow.

Nia seemed to be having a wonderful dream; she tightened her grip on the pillow slightly, and her arm sank into the pillow.

Nia snuggled against the corner of the pillow, her red lips parted slightly, and she gently bit the pillow's cover with her white teeth, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"noob……"

"noob……"

Nia bit her pillow and whispered indistinct calls.

Luo Lian looked at Nia with complicated emotions.

Honestly, Luo Lian really envied Nia. At least when Nia was doing things related to Xiao Bai, she didn't have to worry about getting a nosebleed like she did.

Ugh.

Luo Lian sighed deeply.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai, who had left Nia's dormitory, looked at the night sky under the moonlight with some melancholy.

Lianlian has grown up...

She's started hiding things from me.

This is really worrying.

Little White looked at the moon in the sky and thought to himself.

……

The night sky is always bright.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Time flies by like sand slipping through your fingers.

It had been three days since Xiaobai subdued Montana and Nia and Luo Lian returned to the temporary garrison.

During these three days, Abyssal Yamato, brought here by Xiaobai, had completely integrated into the temporary naval base. She spent her days taking Abyssal Musashi and Abyssal Shinano out shopping, living a remarkably carefree life. As for Xiaobai… she didn't leave the temporary naval base at all, except for sleeping at night; she spent almost all her time with Luo Lian and Nia. The three admirals, besides exchanging pleasantries, discussed their work, and then visited the ship girls' exercises together, offering guidance on combat. Their lives were quite fulfilling, both materially and spiritually.

Friendship...

What Xiaobai lacks most is friendship.

Unfortunately, Xiao Bai had originally planned to invite Nan Xing to visit the garrison after she had rested, but in the past few days, every time Xiao Bai invited Nan Xing, Nan Xing's reply was always something like "Sorry, I'm a little tired today." As a result, it had been three or four days since Luo Lian and Nia returned to the temporary garrison, and Xiao Bai hadn't seen Nan Xing even once.

Nanxing said she was tired... Xiaobai wanted to see her, but couldn't go to her house and disturb her rest, which made Xiaobai very conflicted.

But these are just minor incidents in life.

Nanxing is a living, breathing person; he can't just disappear.

At least generally speaking, apart from these minor regrets, Xiaobai has been living a very happy life these past few days.

Time quickly passed to the fourth day.

On the morning of the fourth day, Xiaobai woke up in bed.

The first thing Xiaobai did after waking up was to pick up his phone and browse the Admiral Forum to find out about the major events in the city that happened that day.

The moment Xiaobai opened the Admiral Forum, two messages that almost filled the entire screen suddenly popped up on the forum's homepage.

Homepage recommendations...?

As soon as Xiaobai saw the recommended information on the screen, his half-asleep eyes widened instantly.

The Admiral Forum is an official forum operated by the Admiral Guild. Such forums do not accept advertisements and aim to maintain a clean and pure environment.

According to Xiaobai, this is the first time she has ever experienced a homepage push notification that displays full-screen information.

What kind of information deserves this kind of treatment...?

Xiao Bai rubbed his eyes and looked at the push notification.

On the full-screen page, there was only one short line of text from top to bottom.

"Warmest congratulations, Admiral! Ms. Lian completed the first encounter and kill of the final node in the 8-4 sea area at 5:32 pm yesterday, becoming the first Admiral to clear the eighth chapter!"

"Um?!"

Xiaobai's eyes widened as she looked at the message on her phone screen, her mouth slightly agape.

Eh?

Sister Lian has cleared Chapter 8?!

Xiao Bai stared intently at the posts on the Admiral's Forum.

At this moment, the entire forum was filled with discussions about the special topic.

"Ms. Lian is amazing!"

"Admiral Lian is amazing! No wonder the 'Bomb Team' is so great! They've proven the worth of 'Bomb Team'!"

"I never expected that the first admiral to clear the stage would be Admiral Ren... I thought she was the world's number one admiral."

"Where is the world's number one? What is the world's number one doing?"

"Upstairs, and upstairs upstairs, stop praising her. The entire eighth chapter was cleared by Admiral Lu Lin. She didn't participate in the clearing at all... She didn't even need to clear the chapter to explore every corner of the eighth chapter..."
