A familiar voice came from behind. Essex knew very well that this was the corporate senior whom she admired the most and whom she wanted to defeat the most. After looking up at the other person, she buried her head in her knees again.

"What happened?"

"Hmm? Jiaozi, are you asking me what happened just now?"

Sitting next to Essex, Enterprise took off his navy cap, still letting the sea breeze blow his long hair.

Essex shrank into a ball and said in a barely audible voice: "Yes, I saw you all running to the dormitory area just now..."

"Xia Bai is awake."

Enterprise's bland reply made Essex's heart tremble. She hugged her legs tightly unconsciously. She tried to appear calm and said, "Are you awake? This is a good thing. At least those guys from Sakura Empire won't harass us every day."

Turning his head, Essex was still staring at the ship girl who was still having fun on the beach below, with no obvious change in his expression.

Seeing this, Enterprise sighed and said meaningfully, "Jiaozi, you have been indifferent to everything in the past month. Wuwei and Shangri-La are very worried about you."

"I'm fine. Please tell them not to worry about me."

This is not a good situation in any way. His mind is in chaos and his emotions are complicated. Seeing Essex become like this because of him, Enterprise feels even more guilty.

Essex could have lived happily and happily with the person she loved, but because of her momentary obsession, she ended up like this.

Is she still worthy of the title of 'senior'? As the leader of the White Eagle, is she really going to watch Essex step by step into the abyss?

The thought in his mind turned into determination. Enterprise held Essex down, forced her to look into his eyes, and said word by word: "Go see him!"

"It was indeed my fault in the past. I apologize to you, Essex."

"The past is like a passing cloud of smoke. Caring too much about the past will make people hesitate to move forward. It's over, and RX-01 didn't die in the Solomon Line. Essex, why are you still hesitating here?"

"So, go see him now, right now, and express your feelings to him."

Under the gaze of the enterprise, Essex kept dodging his eyes and said sadly: "What's the point of seeing him now... There is no future for him and me."

"The future is created by yourself. If you don't express your feelings, how can Xia Bai know your pain?"

"Besides, he has lost his memory now and can't remember what happened before. This is a great opportunity God has given Jiaozi."

Essex didn't know whether Xia Bai had lost her memory or not, but she was indeed moved by the company's "life correction". Her dead heart came back to life, and her eyes gradually became brighter.

Xia Bai had never rejected her, at least he had never directly said the word "rejection". Considering what the other party said when they were dressed up for battle, perhaps... this matter was not that complicated.

If you retreat here, nothing can be done. The end of your feelings must always have a result, which cannot be achieved by escaping.

Complaining about everything, hesitating... This is really unlike you, Essex. With a self-deprecating smile, the girl in love put aside her fear and made up her mind.

"I was just looking for you two, but I didn't expect to find you two together, hehe~"

Gentle words interrupted the conversation between Enterprise and Essex, and RX-03, wearing a light blue dress, walked over with a smile in her eyes.

The timing of its appearance is quite subtle.

Seeing this, the two stood up and nodded slightly: "Miss 03, what do you want to talk to us about?"

How should I put it? RX-03 is the person Enterprise least wants to meet alone. In addition to the guilt in her heart, White Eagle participated in the V plan under her leadership, which made her naturally inferior to 03 and she had no confidence when speaking.

If you don't have confidence in front of RX-03, you will suffer a great loss. It is precisely because of this that Enterprise has avoided meeting 03 alone in the past month. If they occasionally run into each other, they will just say hello and leave in a hurry.

"You're welcome, Miss Enterprise. After all, we are allies." With a smile on his face, RX-03 entered the conversation between the two in a very polite manner.

"I'm actually here to talk to Azalea. No, it should be Miss Essex now... Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Looking at the somewhat stiff Essex, Enterprise put on his navy cap expressionlessly and said, "It just so happens that I have some business to take care of, Miss 03, please go ahead."

Wait, senior business executive, isn't this the person we should be facing together? Why did you just walk away like that?

Although Essex shouted loudly in his heart, it did not reach Enterprise's heart. After leaving Jiaozi an apologetic smile, Enterprise left in a hurry without any reluctance.

RX-03 would only go to Essex for one thing, and Enterprise did not intend to continue to be involved. Staying would only make itself uncomfortable.

Chapter 8 Sister's Assistance

As for whether they are familiar with each other, Essex is definitely quite familiar with RX-03. During her time on Splain Island, she got along very well with Ticonderoga and the Son of Prometheus.

There was no intrigue with humans, nor exhaustion after fighting. They just taught their newborn 'children' how to fight and the common sense of the world. For the two of them, those days were very comfortable.

Of course, Ticonderoga also complained about Essex a lot at the time. He said that he had watched Xia Bai, whom he had grown up, could kill him. It was outrageous that he could only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.

But who can tell the truth about love? The lonely Xia Bai and the arrogant and cold Essex are attracted to each other as they get along gradually.

The man has feelings and the woman has intentions. If it weren't for the attack on the Solomon Line of Defense, it would be hard to say where Xia Bai would be the commander now.

As for RX-03, she was probably the Son of Prometheus that Essex was most familiar with besides Xia Bai. She had not been as decisive and intelligent as she is now.

In the past, RX-03 was just a stubborn little girl who liked to follow Xia Bai around. She wanted to have a good relationship with her second brother, but was unable to get close to him due to Xia Bai's gloomy aura.

What kind of environment could force a shy girl who loves to smile to grow up to be what she is now? Essex knew very well that it was because of sacrifice and the oppression of public opinion in order to keep the son of Prometheus alive.

"I'm sorry... In the past, I... did so many things that hurt you."

Seeing Essex constantly bending over to apologize, RX-03 quickly supported her arm and chuckled, "No need to be like this. Just like Enterprise said, the past is gone, and many of the confusions in the past seem to be nothing now."

Hearing this, Essex's face turned red and he said embarrassedly: "Did you hear everything just now?"

"Of course, I heard what Enterprise and Essex said. According to what you taught us before, this is also impolite, haha~"

With a smile, RX-03 admitted that he had eavesdropped, then sat down on the steps without blushing or beating his heart, and blinked.

"Essex, please sit down too. From now on, we don't owe each other anything. Let's just treat each other as friends. By the way, can I call you Dumpling?"

Essex was a little confused by RX-03's friendly attitude. After a long while, she nodded and sat next to 03: "Whatever you want to call me... It was just a joke."

"Are you kidding? I don't think so. This nickname sounds cute and friendly."

The smile on his face was still bright, as if hiding his true thoughts. RX-03 was already accustomed to such a hypocritical mask.

Even though the current situation of the Son of Prometheus no longer requires her to do so, the habit she developed after the death of RX-01 still makes her wear this mask.

"I came to see Jiaozi. As I said before, it's about my stupid second brother... Jiaozi, what do you think? Have you made up your mind?"

After such a long exchange of pleasantries, RX-03 finally revealed her purpose. She came here to urge Essex to act quickly, and to give her a shot in the arm by posing as "Sister-chan".

The reason is very simple. First, she has investigated all the details of Plan V in White Eagle in the past month, and most of them have nothing to do with the enterprise.

Secondly, it was because Essex looked so ugly. He was in a daze and absent-minded every day. If he continued like this, he would probably die soon.

If you like him, just go and get raped. Lian Qiang doesn't even dare to say that he likes his second brother. Isn't it clear that Xia Bai has RX-03 personality? After being raped, he will definitely accept Essex openly. Isn't Dafeng the best example?

The last reason is RX-03's own calculations. Sakura Empire now belongs to Xia Bai, and the Royal Family is almost there. In order to achieve the hegemony of all ships in Azur Lane, Essex needs to make an opening in White Eagle, and this is up to her, the sister, to give Essex a push from behind.

"Can we really continue?"

"Of course I can. I believe that the second brother will accept you, or that idiot doesn't care about these things at all. As long as you turn around in his face wearing black stockings, everything can be solved."

It seems that Xia Bai's little habit is known not only to the marriage ships but also to his sister RX-03. This is what is called social death.

After hearing what RX-03 said, Essex's face flushed, and her legs wrapped in black stockings rubbed back and forth unconsciously. Finally, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you. No matter what the result is, I will give it a try."

Having been persuaded by the enterprise before, and now being fooled by RX-03, Essex immediately made up his mind. After expressing his gratitude to 03, he walked quickly towards the dormitory area.

"By the way, my second brother didn't lose his memory. Don't be fooled by the enterprise, Essex!"

RX-03 shouted a reminder towards Jiaozi's back, not caring whether the other party heard it or not, and turned his gaze to the small destroyers on the beach. One of the pink-haired ship girls was particularly conspicuous.

Essex and St. Louis may not be able to break through the White Eagle. Perhaps we should add one more person. After all, the triangle is the most solid shape.

Let's start with that little ship girl, hehe~

......

Xia Bai was completely unaware of the fact that RX-03 had abducted a harem for him. At this moment, he was doing some naughty things with Dido, or in layman's terms, they were just being intimate.

Befa would never have thought that her house would be completely robbed by the little maid Dido just when she went out to make a phone call.

White silk stockings are good civilization. They are not as frivolous as black stockings, do not highlight the buttocks like pantyhose, and are not as seductive as garter stockings.

The thin white silk only reveals the purest side of the girl, and the absolute area outlined by the thighs makes people feel like they are back in their youthful student days.

Combined with Dido's weak character, her expression that seemed to be neither crying nor laughing, and her feeling of wanting to accept but also to reject made Xia Bai call Wei Tian a magic wand.

When the atmosphere and emotions had reached a certain level and the battle between the maid and the devil was about to begin, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Xia Bai, I'm Essex, are you available now?"

The desire in his mind disappeared instantly, Xia Bai quickly covered himself with the quilt and raised a finger at the bewildered Dido.

"Hush... Don't be afraid, wait till I get Essex out of here."

Holding Dido's soft body as white as white jade, Xia Bai pretended to be weak and replied, "Come tomorrow if you have something to do. I'm not feeling well."

He had to find a reason. He was not shameless enough to be close to the ship girl in front of other women. Even if he was so shameless, Dido's face was as red as an apple, so there was no way she could let Essex in.

However, Xia Bai obviously underestimated Essex's determination.

Chapter 9 A New Story

After hearing Xia Bai's reply, Essex did not give up, but became more determined.

Patting his face, Essex cheered himself up in his heart, then held the door handle and said, "If you are not feeling well, you should let others see you... I am so rude."

Essex took out the communication ring he had kept from the ship's space and pushed open the door with a cold expression.

"This is what you gave me, and now you're giving it back...why, why are you not wearing any clothes?"

After seeing clearly that Dido was also on the bed, he added another sentence.

"Bright, bright, daytime, he is so shameless!"

She was really impressed. Who would do such a thing right after waking up? She was really blind to worry about Xia Bai who was still unconscious.

Seeing Essex's blushing face, Xia Bai sighed and said rather melancholy, "I am used to sleeping naked, and now I am trying to improve my relationship with my maid and do the things I love, so I asked you to come tomorrow."

"Who said we can't do it during the day? It's none of your business whether you have no sense of shame or not, but you're justified in breaking into someone else's room without permission."

Essex was confused by Xia Bai's speech. The communication ring she wanted to hand over stayed in mid-air. What Xia Bai did had nothing to do with her, and she had no right to interfere from any perspective.

If I turned around and left now, the courage I had finally mustered would disappear, and it would be difficult to have such an opportunity again next time. But if I continued to stay here, the situation would be too embarrassing.

In short, Essex was caught in a dilemma and stood there in a daze for a while.

Seeing that Essex had no intention of leaving, Xia Bai stopped thinking about asking her to close the door. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Excuse me, Acelia, you are not here with strange intentions, are you?"

"Just to be clear, I don't care about these things right now."

He just couldn't believe it. After saying something that was almost sexual harassment, Essex didn't turn around and run away. Didn't he see that Dido was about to faint from shame?

Of course, as a hidden carnivorous maid, Dido was just a little flustered because of Essex's sudden appearance. For her, as long as she could serve Xia Bai and get Xia Bai's love, the great happiness would make her ignore Essex's existence.

In other words, Dido didn't really mind Essex's presence...

After hearing Xia Bai's words, Essex did not cover his face and leave because he was teased. Instead, he turned around, locked the door, and then approached the bed step by step.

"I'm Essex, not Azalea... Please remember this."

She threw away her shame and her face. She had to get an answer today. Even if it was a rejection, it was at least better than her previous confused state.

"Remember, I remember, it was just a joke, Essex, don't really come over here!"

This is not right. Normally, wouldn't Essex run away in shame after cursing? Why did she come here and lock the door? Could it be that she really came here with bad intentions this time?

Seeing Essex getting closer and closer, Xia Bai was really panicked. He hugged Dido and shrank towards the head of the bed, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

This was not fear, but excitement. Xia Bai was now shamelessly thinking that if Essex wanted to join, should he accept it or not...

He is not stingy at all, nor does he care. There are still many places for wings. Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, Xia Bai really doesn't mind renewing their past relationship.

Don't ask him whether the relationship is fake. Once the spiritual and physical connection is established, the fake will become real. This is not being a scumbag, but the correct response to every relationship.

I love Essex and everyone, you are my wings.

However, Essex still had the reserve of a girl. She stopped moving in front of the small table in front of the bed, sat on the stool, and folded her hands in front of her chest, as if to say, "I'll wait for you to finish before talking."

Xia Baipi curled his lips and put on his clothes after his wishful thinking was disrupted. "Tell me, Essex, besides returning TB to me, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Looking at Dido's figure with some envy, Essex was silent for a while, and then he twisted his fingers around the ends of his hair and said, "I originally wanted to seek answers from you, answers about our previous relationship."

"But... I don't seem to need this answer anymore. Now it seems that you have no shortage of ship girls, and you don't need my feelings either."

Time can wash away everything. The lonely Xia Bai gradually faded away from Essex's mind and turned into what he is now, but love will not change.

No matter how Xia Bai changes, Essex's heart still tells himself that this love has not disappeared.

"That's it..."

"If you refuse or agree just like that, I don't think you will be satisfied in Essex."
