—If the ship girls hadn't delivered the necklace to my door and insisted that I wear it, I probably would never have known about it.
Nanxing held Xiaobai in one arm, and with the other hand she reached to her chest, touching the cool pendant, lost in thought.
"Sister Nanxing? What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked curiously when she saw that Nanxing was not speaking and was just touching the pendant and staring at the ceiling.
“…It’s nothing.” Nanxing shook her head, as if she had made a decision, and said to Xiaobai, “…From now on, I will wear this every day and never take it off no matter what I do.”
"Eh?"
Nanxing's ideas went from one extreme to another.
……
Xiaobai and Nanxing stayed in the repair pool for another whole day.
Today, Xiaobai considered that Nanxing had soaked in the repair pool for too long yesterday. Her human body couldn't withstand such prolonged immersion, causing her blood to rush to her head and making her drowsy. She almost lost her soul in the soak. So, for Nanxing's health, Xiaobai originally planned to let Nanxing stay with her for a few hours and then let her rest.
But for some reason.
Nanxing seems a little different today than yesterday.
Today, Nanxing's tolerance to the repair fluid is like that of a completely different person.
Let alone several hours.
Today, Xiaobai and Nanxing soaked in the repair pool from morning until evening, and even as dinner time approached, Nanxing's breathing remained even and her complexion was normal. In fact, she seemed to feel more and more energetic and refreshed as she soaked, without any signs of getting dizzy.
In the end, Xiaobai was so frightened by Nanxing's condition that she quickly pulled Nanxing out of the repair pool during a meal.
In the locker room.
After getting dressed, she sat in the chair and watched Nanxing slowly button up her clothes.
Nanxing's figure is much better than Xiaobai's. Women with such excellent figures naturally spend more time getting dressed than Xiaobai.
"Sister Nanxing, how come you can soak for so long today?" Xiaobai exclaimed to Nanxing. "Yesterday you were almost fainting by this time."
"...?" Nanxing pulled up her jeans and looked at Xiaobai. "Me?"
"Yes."
“…I don’t know.” Nanxing thought for a while, then shook her head at Xiaobai. “Maybe…it’s just a habit.”
"You got used to it in just one day, Sister Nanxing, your physique is really amazing..." Xiaobai smiled wryly after hearing Nanxing's words.
“You too,” Nanxing said, pulling up his pants with his head down. “You’ve been soaking for a long time too…”
"Ah... well... I'm more or less used to it." Xiaobai turned her head to the side, scratched her cheek, and said evasively.
Xiaobai can soak for so long because she has the constitution of a ship girl.
Let alone a whole day, even if Xiaobai soaks in the pool forever, she won't have any physiological problems.
Xiaobai jumped off the chair, ran to the beverage cabinet, took out two cups of hot milk, and returned to Nanxing.
Nanxing had just finished dressing. She held the necklace pendant that Xiaobai had given her, and as always, she opened her collar and put the pendant inside.
“Sister Nanxing, you can take out the necklace when you’re inside the naval base.”
“…I’m afraid of losing it.” Nanxing said, his hands on his chest and his head down.
"Okay." Xiaobai handed the milk cup to Nanxing. "It feels so good to have a sip of hot milk after a bath. You weren't feeling well yesterday, so you didn't drink much. I drank it all."
Nanxing nodded silently. She looked at the milk that Xiaobai handed her, her gaze lingering on the outside of the glass and on Xiaobai's fingers, and suddenly her eyes flickered.
Nanxing hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out, supporting the bottom of the milk cup with one hand and pinching the mouth of the bottle with the other, carefully taking the milk cup.
"Sister Nanxing... you don't need to be so careful with this cup." Xiaobai said to Nanxing, holding the milk cup. "It's perfectly fine to hold it like this."
"……Um……"
Nanxing nodded, but after thinking for a while, she still didn't follow Xiaobai's actions. Instead, she carefully held the milk cup and slowly drank all the milk inside.
Nanxing's movements were as if she were afraid of breaking the milk cup.
This action naturally made Xiaobai, who was standing to the side, laugh.
Xiao Bai remembered what Missouri had said this morning: Nanxing had accidentally broken a glass. Maybe she was drinking milk like this because she didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
It's somewhat PTSD.
After finishing their milk, Xiaobai and Nanxing left the locker room.
After dinner, Xiaobai wanted to invite Nanxing to stay overnight at the naval base, but Nanxing said that she had already stayed at Xiaobai's house for two days and one night. After all, she was a top ten admiral who owned an entire naval base, and staying away from home for too long would be irresponsible to the ship girls in a sense. Therefore, after dinner, Nanxing politely thanked everyone at the temporary naval base and then left the temporary naval base to go home.
……
"Sister Nanxing, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow!"
At the entrance of the temporary garrison, Xiaobai waved his arm and spoke to Nanxing.
"Ah."
Nanxing, standing at the entrance of the temporary garrison, bowed slightly to Xiaobai before turning and leaving.
Xiao Bai stared at Nan Xing for a long time. Only after Nan Xing's figure disappeared into the crowd did she sigh with some regret, return to the mansion, and close the door.
boom--
The gates of the temporary garrison were tightly shut.
Walking alone on the street, Nanxing looked down at his palm, lost in thought.
On the way home, Nanxing remained quiet the whole time.
As Nanxing walked along, she suddenly heard a familiar shout coming from ahead.
"Ah ...
Nanxing looked up and saw several familiar figures walking towards him in the middle of the road, with the one in the lead walking particularly fast.
"Nanxing, I've finally found you! Why haven't you and Little Cutie posted in the group chat these past two days! We sent out red envelopes and you didn't even show up!" Admiral Lian, dressed casually, stormed up to Nanxing, holding up a bag full of snacks and fashion items, jumping up and down as she said, "How awful—I was out shopping with the others, and you were out playing with Little Cutie! How despicable!"
"That's right, that's right!" Admiral Ling looked extremely envious, covering her mouth as she approached Nanxing.
"..." Nanxing.
"Haha, Admiral Nanxing, what a coincidence!" A burst of laughter approached, and Admiral Haoding and Elizabeth walked up to Nanxing. Elizabeth bowed to Nanxing and then smiled and said, "Admiral Nanxing, we were just about to go to the newly opened food court next door when we unexpectedly ran into you on the way. How have you been these past few days?"
"How could things not be great! Being with your little cutie every day must be awesome!" Admiral Lian interjected, then shoved the plastic bag and packaging bag in her hand at Nanxing. "Seriously! I just happened to see you, so this is for you! Remember to take it home and eat it!"
Nanxing held the gift that Admiral Lian had given her, looking somewhat bewildered.
"So, in return, you have to tell me how you've been these past two days!" Admiral Lian quickly approached. "What did you do with the little cutie? Tell me, tell me! Even though I can't go, at least let me feel a little involved... Or you don't have to tell me the details, just tell me about your experience?"
"Experience..."
"Yeah."
"The first day was a bit tiring, my body felt like it was falling apart. But I didn't feel that way on the second day, I felt more comfortable than before." Nanxing hugged the gift in her arms, raised her hand, looked at her snow-white palm, and said slowly, "...Also, I thought I would bleed...but I didn't."
Chapter 3013 A Misunderstanding
Since Lian was so eager to hear Nanxing's thoughts on staying at Xiaobai's place for the past few days, Nanxing naturally and honestly told her his "review".
From Nanxing's perspective, at least, these impressions of the accommodation aren't things that can't be shared with others.
Everything I have said above is from the bottom of my heart.
However, Nanxing's "post-stay experience" might not sound so ordinary to others.
1. Abandon this thing, then VIII. Quiet.
Deadly quiet.
Just after Nanxing calmly expressed her thoughts, the top ten admirals in front of her instantly froze, standing there in stunned silence.
Nanxing probably didn't realize how much ambiguity her words would create if heard by others...
"Admiral Nan... Nanxing, could it be that you are...?"
Beside Admiral Haoding, Elizabeth blushed and covered her mouth, staring at Nanxing in shock, her beautiful eyes flashing with a brilliant light.
“…?” Nanxing looked at everyone blankly.
"Wh...wh...what...Nannannannanxingxing, you you you you you..." Admiral Lian was the first of the top ten admirals to react. She shook herself as if having a seizure. While staring at Nanxing in disbelief, she raised her hand tremblingly, her fingers shaking wildly like unrestrained line art. "You you you you and little little little little cutie...you you you all—ga!!"
finally.
Under everyone's gaze, Admiral Lian still couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Just after the cracking sound, Admiral Lian collapsed to the ground, lying stiffly on the street.
"Ugh! U ...
Admiral Lian, lying on the ground, let out a miserable and inexplicable scream. With the scream, her body trembled even more violently, her limbs shaking wildly as if she had been electrocuted. The frequency of her body shaking became more and more exaggerated, until finally, those who saw her even felt that she had lost her human form and transformed into some kind of abstract humanoid electromagnetic wave.
It seems that the impact on Admiral Lian was far greater than everyone had imagined.
"Lotus—hang in there, Lotus—"
Admiral Ling quickly squatted down and helped the convulsing Admiral Lian up. She patted Admiral Lian's back while looking at Nanxing.
"Nanxing—you—you—you actually took advantage of us all while we were enjoying our trip to the mountains and rivers to do that to our little cutie—and for two whole days! Two whole days!!! How could you do that?! I...I...I really misjudged you!!!"
Admiral Ling held Admiral Lian's hand, her nose turning red, and cried out in grievance.
“…?” Nanxing tilted her head blankly.
Compared to Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling, Admiral Haoding's condition was not as exaggerated, but he still looked somewhat embarrassed.
No matter how passionate or youthful Admiral Haoding may be, he is still an adult; he's not stupid.
Admiral Haoding was well aware of how explosive Admiral Nanxing's speech had been and what exactly was happening on the scene.
"Haha...haha." Admiral Haoding laughed somewhat awkwardly, then turned to Duan Shuiliu, "Um...Admiral Lu Lin...um...it's probably best if I don't speak at this time!"
"..."
Duan Shuiliu, standing at the very back of the group, stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.
Admiral Lian was convulsing on the ground, while Admiral Ling knelt down and hugged Admiral Lian, crying out in anguish. Admiral Haoding turned away with an embarrassed expression, while Elizabeth beside him blushed, covered her mouth, and stared ahead with shining eyes.
The one who started all of this, Nanxing, stood blankly at the point where everyone's eyes met, as if everything before her had nothing to do with her.
The scene before us can, in a sense, be called a world-famous painting.
Duan Shuiliu felt a slight headache. She held her forehead and thought for a while, her eyes looking tired.
But just as he was feeling exhausted, Duan Shuiliu looked at Nanxing's blank face and suddenly frowned, as if deep in thought.
"South Star..."
Duan Shuiliu pondered for a moment, then stepped over Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling and came to stand in front of Nanxing, their eyes meeting.
"...?"
"Tell me in detail what happened these past two days," Duan Shuiliu asked.
"..."
Nanxing opened her eyes, looked at the dense crowds on her left and right, and rubbed her hands together.
Now, the passing admirals are all drawn to the noise made by the top ten admirals.
Nanxing seemed reluctant to share her experiences in front of so many people.
Fortunately... Nanxing and Duan Shuiliu are very close friends, and their level of trust is unquestionable.
After hesitating for a moment, Nanxing finally made up her mind, moved closer to Duan Shuiliu, pressed her rosy lips to Duan Shuiliu's ear, and whispered softly.
Duan Shuiliu turned his head to the side and listened silently to Nanxing's whisper.
As Nanxing's story unfolded, Duan Shuiliu's gaze first became weary, then began to waver, then turned to a sense of realization, and finally settled into a thoughtful expression.
Nanxing has finished telling the story.
Duan Shuiliu withdrew her gaze, thoughtfully examining Nanxing before turning back to look at Admiral Lian, who was lying on the ground.
"Duan Duan...you've caused us so much suffering—"
Admiral Ling hugged Admiral Lian and cried, her voice sounding like the pain of being overtaken on a curve.
Duan Shuiliu sighed.
Duan Shuiliu first looked around at the crowd that was gradually gathering.
The admirals around seemed to have noticed the daily attire of the top ten admirals, and they were spontaneously gathering around them.
