President Er Gou quietly watched Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai also quietly watched President Er Gou.
"...Why aren't you surprised at all?"
"I already knew that."
"Huh?! What?! Little White, how did you know about this?!"
"Isn't it obvious..." Xiaobai looked awkwardly at President Ergou.
"I always make sure I hide my sexual orientation!"
"Isn't Sister Helena your wedding ship?"
"Isn't it the admiral's duty to give rings to cute ship girls?!"
"But you've clearly called Helena 'sister' and 'wife,' and Nia isn't being molested by you, President, every day..."
"Isn't it normal for girls to do that kind of thing?"
"This is not normal at all! President, your sexual orientation and fetishes have been completely exposed long ago."
President Er Gou immediately showed an expression of utter shock.
To be honest, Xiaobai is really confused about whether President Ergou is smart or slow-witted...
President Er Gou couldn't take it anymore and slumped into his chair.
"Ah, never mind... let's leave it at that then." President Er Gou pouted and sighed softly.
President Er Gou's somewhat childish behavior made Xiao Bai laugh.
"Hmm?" Just as she was smiling, Xiaobai suddenly remembered something. She stared curiously at President Ergou's face and observed it for a while.
President Er Gou's looks are also top-tier, with delicate and smooth skin, and beautiful and well-proportioned features. At first glance, there isn't a single wrinkle on her face, and she looks as young and beautiful as a girl in her early twenties.
—Wait a minute, the student council president is my brother's senior, right? And she's several years ahead of him.
My older brother is more than ten years older than me... If he were still alive this year, he would be almost thirty or twenty-eight...
"President Sister..."
"kindness?"
How old are you this year?
Chapter 815 Brother, you womanizer!
Xiao Bai then realized this important thing.
If what President Er Gou said is true, then this so-called president's sister seems to be much older than I imagined.
Speaking of which, Helena seems to have come up and punished Er Gou several times in front of Xiao Bai when Er Gou was acting cute, silly, and making dirty jokes. She also said more than once that Er Gou was already quite old.
He's not getting any younger.
Xiaobai initially thought it was just an exaggeration; she never imagined it was actually a declarative sentence.
"Little White, do you want to know my age?" President Er Gou smirked at Little White.
"Hmm..." Xiaobai nodded with some curiosity.
How old did you think I was at first?
"Second, in their twenties..."
"In his early twenties, huh?" President Er Gou sighed softly. "Judging from the outcome, it's definitely wrong."
That's true; she's very likely much older than her brother.
The thought that President Er Gou's real age was likely in the thirties, or even approaching the fourties, made Xiao Bai feel like he was living in a dream.
—How does the president maintain her youthful appearance?
—You look so young…
"Little White Sister, how old do you think I am?"
"Twenty...six...seven?"
"...Don't worry so much about what I think. Just guess freely, otherwise it will be very difficult to guess your real age."
"Then fifty-eight?"
"Little White Sister, you really show no mercy..." President Er Gou said in a somewhat sad voice.
"Uh...didn't the president say it was just a random guess..." Xiaobai lowered her head, feeling a little wronged.
President Er Gou sighed helplessly. She leaned on the table, stretched out her hand, and shook her finger at Xiao Bai: "Little Bai, about my age..."
"...(a curious look)"
"..." President Er Gou revealed a wicked smile, "A girl's age isn't something you can just tell others. I'll tell you when I'm in a better mood."
Xiao Bai collapsed completely.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha—" President Er Gou laughed on the chair, clutching her stomach. Her silvery voice swirled around her. She laughed for a while before slowly stopping. She wiped away her tears and said to Xiao Bai, "Sometimes the truth is the most unexpected and looks like a lie. Little Bai, you guess first."
As he laughed, President Er Gou reached into his desk, rummaged around for a moment, pulled out a small red booklet, and pushed it in front of Xiao Bai.
"this is?"
"Marriage certificate."
"Ah—could this be the one who's with my brother...?"
"After saying so much, if I don't show you some real stuff, what's the difference between this and lying to you?" President Er Gou said with a smile. "Here, this is my marriage certificate. But I'm not going to replace it if it's damaged. Also, I think there are a few small photos inside. We had a symbolic wedding back then, and there weren't many people present. They were mostly my ship girls. The photos were taken at that time."
Xiao Bai looked at the marriage certificate pushed in front of her with a subtle expression.
To be honest, if President Er Gou hadn't pulled out their marriage certificate, Xiao Bai would have started to doubt whether she was lying to him.
At the suggestion of President Er Gou, Xiao Bai picked up the marriage certificate and slowly turned it over.
The booklet is slightly yellowed and has a slightly rough feel to it, indicating that it has been around for a while. Upon opening it, the first thing you see is a blue-background photo of the woman with the president of the Er Gou Association pasted on it. It's a bit dark, but surprisingly, the Er Gou Association president in this photo is exactly the same as the current Er Gou Association president. Whether it's the skin quality, facial features, or even that slutty and perverted expression, they are exactly the same.
Of course, if a person's photo resembles that person, there's absolutely no problem with that.
But it's a bit scary to see a photo from ten years ago where the person looks exactly the same as they do now.
This marriage certificate is at least ten years old. Ten years is such a long time. Even a stone would have been worn through by water dripping on it for ten years. Yet, these ten years have left absolutely no trace on Chairman Er Gou.
Looking at the photos, Xiao Bai was amazed by President Er Gou's incredible anti-aging techniques.
"My hair was really thick back then," said President Er Gou, looking at the marriage certificate in Xiao Bai's hand.
"President, you have a lot of hair now."
“It’s different now. Back then, I could use my hair as a jump rope.”
"...Jump rope?"
"Yeah, not now. This job causes a lot of hair loss."
"The president hasn't changed much compared to before."
"A good mindset is like this: theoretically, humans can live up to 500 years old. The reason why most people die in their 70s or 80s is because humans always like to torment themselves, and tormenting themselves shortens their lifespan."
"Ah...that's it."
"But marriage..." President Er Gou crossed his arms, walked over to Xiao Bai, and thought for a while, "Actually, it's quite interesting."
Is it interesting?
"Yes, mainly the part about the oath. I like the agreements between people."
"Promise?"
"I take Lu Yun to be my husband, from this day forward, to have and to hold from each other, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
"...But your marriage is a sham."
"They like making promises, but they don't like keeping them." President Er Gou reached out and patted Xiao Bai's head. "That's what adults are like."
"..." Xiaobai remained silent.
Just then, the telephone on the desk rang. Helena, who was next to the phone, answered it: "Hello, this is the Admiral's Guild."
Helena stood holding the phone receiver for a while, listening to the person on the other end chattering away. After a short while, she replied, "Understood, I will pass it on to the president."
Helena hung up the phone and looked at President Er Gou: "President, everything is ready over there."
"Okay, let's set off then." President Er Gou nodded.
Xiao Bai looked at President Er Gou and Helena with some curiosity: "President, what was that talk on the phone?"
"Ah, that's the main reason I asked you to come here today. We were chatting all this time while waiting for this call." President Er Gou smiled. "Actually, just half an hour ago, an alien deep-sea invasion occurred at the first node."
"Deep-sea aliens???"
"It's the Deep Sea Abyss Ship from Chapter Seven."
"Ah?!!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, "Chapter Seven..."
"Don't worry too much, though. They seem to be low-level Abyssal minions from Chapter 7. Although they're too high-level for the admirals here to defeat, they're just a matter of one shot for Little White's ship girls," said Guild Master Er Gou. "Anyway, those Abyssal ships have been sent to the admiral's guild. I still want to chat with you, Little White, but let's wait until next time we have time. You scouted the area yesterday, so you should have some information. Let's go down and take a look at those Abyssal ships."
"Oh, okay! As for the news... I think I do have it." Xiaobai quickly closed the marriage certificate belonging to President Ergou. "Then this marriage certificate..."
"Just throw it back on the table."
"what……"
"Don't look at me like that, like you really want to take this out. Even though it's just a formality, it's still my marriage certificate. In name, I'm your sister-in-law. What if someone sees it?"
"Oh...you're right...it would be really bad if word got out..."
"Right? A woman as beautiful, rich, and with a great figure as me, if I were to add the allure of a married woman to my resume, the number of clueless young men chanting my name and getting erections at night would double," said President Er Gou.
"..."
The terrible thing Xiaobai thought was bad wasn't this kind of terrible...
"I understand..." Finally, Xiaobai sighed weakly and took one last, reluctant look at the marriage certificate.
"Once you get back, you can look at it for as long as you want." President Er Gou reached out, picked up the booklet from Xiao Bai's hand, and casually tossed it onto the table.
With a snap, the booklet was thrown askew and fell to the ground, spilling out several headshots that landed on the floor like scraps of paper.
"..." President Er Gou.
"Delicious food!"
"No, that was a mistake...it was..."
"That's a precious marriage certificate, how can you just throw it away like that?" Xiaobai poked Er Gou's waist angrily, "Sister-in-law."
"...I'm sorry." President Er Gou apologized sincerely, "Little sister-in-law."
Xiao Bai sighed, bent down, and picked up the marriage certificate.
There were a few scattered photos on the ground nearby, which should have been taken at the wedding that Chairman Er Gou mentioned earlier. They had been tucked behind the marriage certificate, and Xiao Bai hadn't had a chance to see them.
Xiaobai picked them up one by one.
The photo is small and looks a bit dated.
In the photo, President Er Gou, dressed in a white wedding gown, holds a bouquet of flowers, closes her eyes, and nestles beside the man. Beneath her red lips, a smile plays on her lips, and her long eyelashes accentuate her delicate beauty under the white veil, making her look as stunning as a princess from a fairy tale.
This made Xiaobai almost forget that this so-called princess was actually almost as old as her mother.
—As expected, the only things separating President Er Gou from beautiful women are a 24-hour silence spell and a million-dollar makeup artist.
Xiao Bai's gaze shifted from the bride's face and lingered on the groom for a moment.
Above the crisp white suit was a smug face that seemed to want to take advantage of everyone.
Xiao Bai hasn't seen this face in so long...it's been such a long, long time.
As she watched, Xiaobai's eyes slowly reddened.
A faint soreness rose in Xiaobai's nose, and warm tears welled up in her eyes without her noticing. Her eyes felt heavy, and as her vision blurred, the temperature seemed to rise higher and higher. Xiaobai raised her hand, closed her eyes, and rubbed her face vigorously a couple of times before taking a deep sniff. Then she stared intently at the groom in the photo.
After a long while, Xiao Bai suddenly pursed his lips guiltily and chuckled.
--elder brother.
—Our sister-in-law is so beautiful.
