Sunlight streamed down.
Little Whitey, who was lying on the sofa, woke up.
She yawned and slowly sat up from the sofa, gripping the backrest.
"Uh..." Xiaobai blinked, feeling slightly dizzy. She rubbed her forehead and observed her surroundings.
In the clean and tidy hall, several construction devices were neatly arranged. Sunlight streamed in from behind the windows, hitting the floor and reflecting streaks of white light.
Xiao Bai stared at the strip of light for a while, lost in thought.
Memories flow back to the brain.
Last night, all sorts of random things, like photos, inner thoughts, working day and night, and Er Gou, rushed back into Xiao Bai's mind.
Yesterday, after President Er Gou expressed his hope that Xiao Bai would go home to sleep, Xiao Bai, who felt that she would have a strange unpleasant feeling if she left, insisted on staying. President Er Gou could not persuade Xiao Bai, so he chatted with her on the beach for several hours, until Xiao Bai finally fell asleep in President Er Gou's arms, and that was the end of it.
"Ah!" Little White snapped back to reality. "Eh... why did I fall asleep..."
"Admiral Lu Lin, you're awake?" Helena's voice rang out behind Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai turned around and saw Helena standing behind the sofa, holding a steaming glass of milk and a donut.
"How was it spending the night at the Admiral's Guild?" Helena placed the milk and donuts on the table in front of Xiaobai, then asked with a smile.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I fell asleep..."
"It's okay, just please don't do it again next time."
"Uh... I'm sorry... I have a really hard time falling asleep..."
“Helena wasn’t referring to spending the night at the Admiral’s Guild.” Helena winked at Xiaobai with a smile, “I meant falling asleep while alone with the Guild Master, which is very dangerous.”
"..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly and subconsciously touched his waist.
"It's alright, I'm watching over the president." Helena stepped back to the side of the sofa. "As for breakfast, this is all we have. I hope Admiral Lu Lin will understand. If you really can't get used to the food, please tell Helena first, and Helena will definitely..."
"Uh, it's okay, it's okay! Milk and bread are great." Xiaobai quickly grabbed a donut, took a bite, and then gulped down a mouthful of hot milk.
After eating Chinese breakfast so often, having milk and bread once in a while is actually quite refreshing.
—The donuts are delicious.
Hehehe...
Xiao Bai only ate the donuts to appease Helena, but unexpectedly, he was overwhelmed by the long-lost sweet and soft Western-style pastry after just one bite.
Helena looked at the happy expression on Xiaobai's face and lowered her head in relief: "If Admiral Lu Lin likes it, then Helena is relieved."
"Mmm...it's so delicious." Xiaobai blushed, then looked around curiously.
This is the third floor of the Admiral's Guild, and not far away is Guild Master Er Gou's private office and bedroom. It's morning, but not a single staff member has come to work yet.
"Where are... the staff around here?"
"The Admiral's Guild is closed today," Helena said with a smile to Xiaobai. "This is all thanks to Admiral Lu Lin."
"Uh!...Could it be...because I was sleeping here...? Ah! Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I...I will compensate for the loss..." Holding the donut, Xiaobai trembled like a little hamster, her face full of fear.
"You misunderstand. What I mean is that the Admiral's Guild is only taking a day off, not closing down completely. This is all thanks to you." Helena lowered her head and bowed respectfully to Xiaobai.
A perfect 90 degrees.
He bent over deeply.
He performed a superb bow that set an industry benchmark for its level of completion.
Xiao Bai was taken aback: "Huh? What...did I do something? Oh, and what does 'closing down for good' mean...?"
"You didn't do anything special, you just showed up when the president needed you most." Helena said gratefully to Xiaobai. "Helena is very grateful for your existence, and Helena is very grateful to the great mother who gave birth to you."
"..." Xiaobai looked completely bewildered.
Fortunately, Xiaobai's confusion didn't last long.
Because at this most awkward moment, President Er Gou's signature barbell-like laughter came from the other side of the stairs.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho, little white sister, you're finally awake? Look around, this is my territory!" President Er Gou shouted as he hopped up the stairs, arms outstretched, looking like a goofy villain.
"President, please be normal." Helena straightened up, looked at President Er Gou who was going upstairs, and frowned helplessly.
"Oops, sorry, I used the wrong line. Hey, good morning, my Helena-chan."
President Er Gou pursed his lips, jogged up behind Helena, and reached out to roam freely over Helena's waist, caressing her in a wanton manner.
Helena turned her back and grabbed Chairman Er Gou's ear.
"Ahhhhhh, it hurts, it hurts—" President Er Gou hurriedly begged for mercy.
“Please show some restraint in front of Admiral Lu Lin, President.” Helena said firmly.
President Er Gou rubbed his ears, which had been pulled red, and sat down next to Xiao Bai, looking aggrieved.
"Is this how wedding ships are done... Seriously, even Little White lets me hug her whenever I want, Helena is so tsundere. Even though it's nighttime..."
Helena's gentle gaze sharpened in an instant.
The rambling of President Er Gou then ceased.
"How was it, Little White? Did you sleep well?" President Er Gou asked Little White.
Xiao Bai didn't answer President Er Gou's question, but just quietly looked at President Er Gou for a while, scrutinizing her face.
Come to think of it, it seems that the current President Er Gou is indeed somewhat different from the President Er Gou of last night...
But Xiaobai couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
They're not exactly respectable people anyway.
"I slept very well. Thank you, President Sister," Xiaobai replied.
"Mmm! Sleeping well is really good." President Er Gou reached out and patted Xiao Bai's head with a smile. "My room was painted yesterday, so you can't sleep there. I was quite worried that you wouldn't sleep well."
"President Sister, won't you get arrested?" Xiaobai asked.
"Wow, you got straight to the point right away." President Er Gou exclaimed, retracting his paw. "Well... how should I put it? What I look like has nothing to do with whether those people want to arrest me or not, so they'll still arrest me."
"..."
"However... now I want to put up a little resistance."
"...Who wants to arrest you?"
"Dog owner, didn't we talk about this last night?"
"Who is the dog's owner?" Xiaobai asked.
"..." President Er Gou tilted his head and looked at Xiao Bai, "My hometown."
"Huh?!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, "Why...why..."
"Because they have no other strengths, except for superior genes, their sons and daughters all have IQs of 500, comparable to Einstein. So for the sake of human society's progress, they want to capture me and take me back for breeding," said President Er Gou with a serious expression.
"Pfft." Xiaobai didn't laugh, but Helena next to her was the first to burst out laughing.
Xiaobai definitely didn't believe this answer. She looked awkwardly at President Ergou, her expression conveying the message that even if this silly mother gave birth to a child, it would probably only be a silly little thing.
President Er Gou crossed his legs, looking rather unhappy.
"What is the reason?" Xiaobai asked.
"...It's nothing." President Er Gou stared at the ceiling, lost in thought, but didn't continue.
Xiao Bai quietly watched President Er Gou.
After a long time.
"...I want to get a divorce and then remarry," President Er Gou muttered.
"..." Xiaobai blinked and stared blankly at President Ergou.
"Anyway, back then I impulsively married a poor guy, which basically offended everyone on that side. Now that my husband is dead, this cold and ruthless society is starting to target me, this still charming and beautiful widow," said President Er Gou, crossing his legs.
Little White stared, mouth agape, momentarily at a loss for how to react.
President Er Gou turned to Xiao Bai and asked, "Little Bai, do you also think it would be better for me to just obediently be caught and taken back to get married?"
"..." Xiaobai frowned, racking her brains for a long time before stammering, "I...I don't know...What about you, President Sister...Do you want to go back?"
"I don't care," said President Er Gou, staring at the ceiling. "It's all the same anyway."
Xiao Bai looked at President Er Gou with a conflicted expression.
She only now has a rough idea of what's going on.
I finally understand why Chairman Er Gou kept dodging the issue and not coming clean last night before making his decision.
—So this is the hometown of President Er Gou. President Er Gou is going to get married.
Xiao Bai suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"Do you like me?" Suddenly, President Er Gou asked Xiao Bai.
"what?"
"Have I embarrassed you as your sister-in-law?"
"Ah, absolutely not!" Xiaobai shook her head rapidly. "President Sister, you're so beautiful, and so capable, and so gentle, and you're so good to me too, there's definitely no way!"
"Damn, you're so cute!" Guild Leader Er Gou slapped Xiao Bai into his arms and shouted, "I've been waiting for you to say that! I'm not going back this time, even if it kills me!!!"
"But, President Sister, you're alright..."
"Compared to those stinky men! I definitely prefer being all lovey-dovey with beautiful girls—forget about heterosexual marriage! Same-sex love is true love—I finally have such an adorable white-haired loli sister-in-law!! I haven't even had a chance to seduce her once! I'd never go back to be with those stinky men!!!"
"..."
Chairman Er Gou suddenly made a statement that was enough to warrant the deployment of the military police.

When the ship sailed into the city of the second chapter, the motorboat that Mu Yu was on was almost falling apart due to the long period of full speed.
The journey was truly bumpy.
Mu Yu, along with a group of guards behind him, endured the discomfort of his whole body trembling as he disembarked from the ship.
"Auntie, I'm already going at my fastest speed. If it's still too late, don't blame me for not trying harder..." Mu Yu sighed weakly, tugging at her sleeve, and looked helplessly at the city in front of her.
The gate to the artificial city in Chapter 871 stood before Mu Yu.
It was a scene that was both embarrassing and familiar to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu sighed and was about to move forward when suddenly, the sound of another ship sailing came from the other side of the sea behind him.
Mu Yu was taken aback, a look of interest appearing on his face. He turned around and looked at the sea behind him, where he saw an extremely luxurious silver private boat chasing closely behind Mu Yu's public boat and coming to dock on the shore.
The ship's door opened.
A handsome admiral stepped off the ship, surrounded by several ship girls.
On one side was a young admiral with a straight back, handsome features, surrounded by ship girls, and beauties everywhere.
On the other side was a hunched-over man with dark circles under his eyes, looking like he'd been working overtime and was practically halfway into middle age.
Mu Yu clicked her tongue quietly in secret.
Damn. What should I do? I kind of want to punch this guy.
"Mr. Mu Yu?" The admiral saw Mu Yu as soon as he disembarked. He was stunned for a few seconds, then walked up to Mu Yu and respectfully raised his hands to him. "Junior Mu Chenglin greets you."
"Come on, I'm not that old." Mu Yu, whose face was somewhat dull, looked at the man in front of her with his delicate and smooth face and felt a pang of sadness.
Damn it, even though I'm more than ten years older than you, I'm still your peer. Who are you calling "master" and "junior"?
Mu Yu controlled the primordial power in her hands, then looked at the man in front of her and felt a pang of sorrow.
Once upon a time, I too possessed such a young and handsome face—
Ugh.
Life has overwhelmed my handsome self.
"You're the one... which chapter was it again?"
"Reply to Mr. Mu Yu, Chapter Seven."
"Oh, so what are you doing here?"
