A gentle breeze blew across the playground, but not a speck of dust was stirred up.
"Sigh... Everyone's busy, everyone's so busy." Xiaobai lowered her arms with a sigh, looked at the sky and muttered to herself, "It's good to be busy."
"Xiaobai, if you had just said 'Don't go,' Luo Lian would have stayed no matter what." Nia, seeing Xiaobai's dejected look, approached her hesitantly and said with heartache.
“Hmm…I know.” Xiaobai nodded to Nia, then shook her head helplessly, “But I can’t say that.”
"why?"
“Lianlian cares about me a lot… She will stay because of my request, but she leaves because she has things she wants to do.” Xiaobai took Nia’s arm, leaned on her shoulder as she spoke, and sighed, “Although life is good with Lianlian by my side, how can I tie Lianlian to my side just because of my own selfish desires? Lianlian has her own life too… Even if I really did that, I would at least have to wait until she finishes what she wants to do.”
“Ah…” Nia blinked as she listened to Xiaobai’s words, as if she understood something.
"Nia, you're not leaving, are you?" Xiaobai looked up at Nia.
“No! Because there’s only one thing I want to do, and that is to stay by your side, Xiaobai!” Nia replied immediately.
"Thank you, Nia." Xiaobai smiled at Nia, and hearing Nia's reply, the emptiness in Xiaobai's heart caused by Luo Lian's departure felt filled again.
"You're welcome!"
After Luo Lian and the ship girls entered the warehouse, they remained quiet for a long time.
In fact, even the super-Yamato's teleportation capabilities are limited.
The Luo Lian family's garrison has over a hundred ship girls. Even with the superhuman stamina of Super Da and the Deep Sea Dean, teleporting so many ship girls at once would be no easy task.
If it were the Super Yamato from when she first joined the naval base, she wouldn't have been able to teleport so many ship girls thousands of miles away even if she risked her life.
Fortunately, Chaodahe is now Xiaobai's marriage ship. After dozens of close encounters with Xiaobai, she now has the buff of being Xiaobai's marriage ship. In addition, the location of the teleportation point she chose this time is not as far away as in the second chapter and the newbie naval base. Therefore, although sending Luo Lian's family away is a bit difficult for her, it is not an impossible task.
About half an hour later.
The door to the food warehouse was pushed open.
A tall, slender figure in black walked out, leaning against the wall and bending over.
Chao Dahe staggered out of the door as if she had shed a layer of skin. She was carrying a heavy white plastic bag in her hand. She was holding onto the door frame and the wall, her steps unsteady. After only a few steps out of the warehouse, she suddenly leaned forward and staggered as if she was about to fall down on the spot.
"Hey! Super Yamato, watch out!"
Xiaobai and Nia quickly ran forward.
Xiaobai caught Chaoda before she fell, and Nia, who was standing nearby, quickly took the plastic bag that had fallen from Chaoda's hand.
When the giant cat pounced into Xiaobai's arms, Xiaobai felt as if a mountain was rushing towards her.
"Are you alright, Super Yamato?" Shiro found Super Yamato's hand, helped her up from his body, and asked with concern.
"Thank you, Admiral..." Chao Dahe replied softly. She seemed truly exhausted; sweat clung to her black hair on her fair face, and her voice was weak. Only her gaze was fixed on the plastic bag in Nia's hand. "I... I'm alright... just a little weak and tired. I'll be fine after a short rest..."
Xiaobai and Nia helped Chao Yamato to a nearby bench.
Chao Da sat on the bench and caught his breath for a while.
Nia weighed the plastic bag in her arms, wondering about its weight, and handed it to Chaoda.
“Super Yamato, this is for you,” Nia said.
"Thank you, Admiral Nia..."
Chao Da took the plastic bag and skillfully pulled out several yellow-green transparent milk tea cups. Then she took out a straw, stuck it in, closed her eyes, and gulped down several mouthfuls. After finishing two of the cups in one go, she let out a long sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed and her complexion improved.
Nia sniffed the air, and her expression suddenly turned strange.
"Chao Yamato, what is that you're drinking? It smells sour!"
"This is a specialty of Kyoto, douzhi (fermented mung bean juice)," Xiaobai explained to Nia, helping Chao Yamato.
"Eh... a specialty of Kyoto?"
“Yeah, when we went to Kyoto before, Chao Yahei became obsessed with this.” Xiaobai picked up a milk tea cup that Chao Yahei had finished drinking from, feeling the cool, fresh texture on the cup. “Lately, whenever she has free time, she goes back to the teleportation point in Kyoto to buy some soy milk to drink…”
"So, she just bought this in Kyoto?"
"Judging from the color and consistency of this soy milk, it should be it."
"..." Nia looked at Chao Yamato with a complicated expression.
After seeing off so many ship girls, Chao Da was exhausted, yet he still had the energy to stop by Kyoto to buy drinks...
So, she just dragged her exhausted body to Kyoto?
Just how much does she like this soy milk...?
"Nia, do you want to try it?" Seeing Nia's complicated expression, Xiaobai smiled, grabbed a bottle of soy milk, and asked Nia.
"Huh? I...I...I'll forget about it!" Nia quickly waved her hands, her face full of resistance.
The smell of fermented mung bean juice was really strange. Nia's taste wasn't typical of Kyoto locals, so she was a little hesitant to try it.
Of course.
If Xiaobai really wants her to have a drink, Nia definitely won't refuse as long as Xiaobai asks.
But Xiaobai knew exactly what Nia was thinking, so she didn't force Nia. She just smiled and put the soy milk back on Chaodahe's lap.
Chao Da quickly hugged the soy milk to his arms.
……
After seeing Luo Lian's family off in one go, and considering her recovery speed, she probably wouldn't be able to go out this afternoon.
Therefore, Xiaobai dutifully carried the oversized bag back to her dormitory.
It's worth mentioning that when Xiaobai initially suggested carrying Super Yamato, Super Yamato himself was quite resistant.
"Extra large" indicates that the journey is short and that walking a few steps is fine.
But seeing that Chao Dahe's legs trembled as soon as he stood up, Xiao Bai knew he wouldn't listen to her. Chao Dahe resisted repeatedly, but he couldn't go against Xiao Bai's wishes. Under Xiao Bai's insistence, Chao Dahe could only blush and hug Xiao Bai's neck, and be carried on Xiao Bai's back.
Super Yamato is much taller than Shiro, so when Shiro carries her on his back, Super Yamato's legs have to be hooked around Shiro's waist with his hands so that Super Yamato's toes don't touch the ground.
From a distance, the oversized and plastered body of the little white car has a strange and striking effect, like an armored vehicle covering a small car.
Along the way, Shiro was seen carrying the Yamato on her back by passing ship girls, which caused a lot of pointing and talking.
"Wow... Look over there!"
"Isn't that Miss Yamato...wait?? Is that Admiral Lu Lin below her??"
"What happened?"
"So loving."
"Admiral Lu Lin looks so cute carrying Miss Chao Yamato on her back."
Is this some kind of public execution? Or a punishment challenge for a dare?
"As expected of a wedding ship, they've really got some fancy tricks up their sleeves."
"..."
Even the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy has a sense of shame.
As Chao Da listened to the voices around her, her face turned so red it was almost steaming. She buried her face in Xiao Bai's white hair, trying to prevent others from observing her by adopting an ostrich-like mentality.
—Actually, this situation was anticipated, which is why Chaoda and He were so reluctant to be carried home by Xiaobai.
Apart from that, Xiaobai had no problems. She was very strong, and she carried Chaodahe with light steps, skipping back to Chaodahe's dormitory after taking three steps up a step and two steps down a threshold.
Chapter 3483 A Sudden Drill
"Hey, where's your dorm key?" Xiaobai asked, standing at the door of Chao Yamato's dorm room and nudging Chao Yamato behind her.
"Ah... Admiral, wait, wait a minute, let me look for it." Chao Dahe rustled behind Xiao Bai for a while, his full and tall body rubbing against him. After a moment, he tremblingly handed over a gleaming silver key, passing it over Xiao Bai's shoulder.
Xiaobai reached out and took the key from Chao Yamato, then turned the doorknob.
The door opened, and Xiaobai walked in carrying Chaodahe on his back.
The dormitory was huge and hadn't been visited for several months. When Xiaobai walked in, she noticed that there was some dust all over the room.
"Super Yamato, want to lie down on the bed for a while?" Shiro turned his head and asked Super Yamato on top of him.
"Hmm..." Super Large responded softly.
It's funny, but when they were outside, Chao Yahe felt very ashamed and resistant to being carried by Xiaobai in front of everyone. But when she and Xiaobai went into the room and were alone together, Chao Yahe was much more at ease and knew how to enjoy it quietly.
As for Nia?
Oh... Nia just went to evacuate the crowd, so she didn't come along for the time being.
Xiaobai carried Chao Yamato to the bedside. Xiaobai first took out a feather duster from the ship's equipment space and patted it on Chao Yamato's bed. A cloud of smoke rose up, and the slightly dusty bed returned to its clean and refreshing state.
Then Xiaobai turned to the side and moved the oversized bag behind her onto the bed.
The giant and obedient creature lay on the bed, its eyes wide open, its hands clasped together in front of its chest.
"Super Yamato, lie down for a while," Shiro said with a smile. "You rest first, and I'll help you clean your room."
"Ah... Admiral, I can do this myself in a bit..." Super Yamato immediately tried to turn over when he saw Shiro was about to make a move.
"No need, no need, leave it to me." Xiaobai rolled up her sleeves, squatted down, and continued to take out several cleaning tools from her ship-mounted treasure bag, saying to herself, "This room isn't big, and it's not dirty except for some dust. It'll be quick to clean."
"Oh……"
Chao Da was shut down by Xiao Bai with a few words, and she remained lying on her side, quietly watching Xiao Bai from the bed.
Xiao Bai took out a broom and a rag, first swept the floor, and then wiped the tables and chairs in the room.
The room was indeed quite clean. Perhaps because she was the director of the Deep Sea Academy, she had a natural aura that gave her an imposing presence over small animals. There were very few mosquitoes or web-weaving creatures in her room. Even though she hadn't returned for three months, the room remained unchanged except for a little more dust.
Xiaobai cleaned very easily and quickly, turning the large dormitory room into a sparkling clean.
"Okay, that's fine." Xiaobai put down the rag, looked at the sparkling clean dormitory, and at the giant toy on the bed looking at her, and smiled. "I told you, didn't I? It's quick to clean."
"Hmm..." Chao Da nodded.
"Chao Yamato, you can continue to rest. I'm going to take out the trash, and by the way..." Xiaobai rummaged in her clothes, took out the key that Chao Yamato had just given her, and handed it to Chao Yamato on the bed. "Here, here's your room key back."
"Admiral...you can keep the key." Super Yamato covered her mouth with her fist, instinctively shrinking back, her gaze somewhat hesitant as she looked at Shiro. "I...I have a spare key in my room..."
"Eh? For me?"
"Um……"
"I remember there should only be one spare key... Doesn't Yamato-neechan have one?"
"Mmm," came the loud reply.
Xiao Bai and Chao Dahe on the bed exchanged a glance. Chao Dahe looked away, his cheeks flushed.
Xiao Bai suddenly realized.
Oh... no wonder. If Yamato-nee had the key to the Super Yamato dorm, given her wifely nature, she would never have allowed Super Yamato's room to get dusty and dirty.
Looks like I'm the only one who has both the super-sized dorm key and the dorm room key.
"...Okay, I'll keep this safe." Xiaobai held the key, smiled at Chaoda, and said, "Thank you."
"Admiral, you can come see me anytime from now on..." Chao Yamato said, covering his mouth, his gaze wandering, his voice suddenly becoming extremely weak, "...morning, evening, anytime..."
"I will."
Xiaobai didn't hear the last half of Chaoda's sentence clearly. She just smiled and responded, putting Chaoda's key into her pocket.
Under the watchful eyes of Chao Yamato, Xiaobai patted Chao Yamato's head, then left Chao Yamato's dormitory carrying the trash she had just cleaned up.
There was a public trash can at the end of the dormitory corridor. After throwing away the trash, Xiaobai returned to her dorm room.
When Xiaobai came back, Chaoda and another person were lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with their eyes open, seemingly lost in thought.
"Chao Yamato, what are you thinking about?" Xiaobai came to Chao Yamato's bedside, pulled up a chair and sat down, asking with a smile, "Want some soy milk again?"
"..." Chao Dahe quickly shook his head.
"Looks like you're really tired; you're just lying in bed spacing out," Xiaobai said with a smile. "You must have had a hard time dealing with Lianlian just now. Do you want to take a nap?"
"Admiral, aren't you leaving?" Super Yamato asked, looking at Shiro.
"I'll leave after you've rested," Xiaobai said.
“Oh…” Chao Dahe blinked, and she reached out to Xiaobai, spreading her five fingers in the air.
Xiao Bai understood immediately and extended his palm, interlacing his fingers with Chao Da's and holding them tightly together.
After Chaoda and Xiaobai held hands tightly, a relaxed expression appeared on Chaoda's face. She let out a soft sigh and blinked her eyes with her head down.
