Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: Ye Family

For Ye Qiu, drinking is like drinking water. With a cycle of “Primordial Five Emperors Technique,” there’s no sign of drunkenness at all, and naturally, this amount of alcohol is nothing.

Ye Qiu picked up a glass and drank, and when the officers around him toasted, he drank too.

This surprised both Mr. Cao and Wei Dajun. This kid is impressive, drinking so much without showing any signs of change on his face.

“Dr. Ye, you should drink less!” said Cao Ling beside him.

After all, the officers here often drink and are seasoned drinkers, but Ye Qiu is a young man, drinking so much might cause gastric bleeding.

“I’m fine.”

Ye Qiu replied.

Although there were many meat dishes on the table, these officers really just came here to have some drinks.

After dinner, even Mr. Cao’s face was a bit flushed, yet Ye Qiu was perfectly fine. Judging from what just happened, Ye Qiu alone had drunk two bottles of white liquor and three bottles of beer, and was still completely fine.

This made the officers around like this young man Ye Qiu more!

“Not feeling anything at all?”

Cao Ling asked Ye Qiu.

“What could happen to me? Drinking this is like drinking water. By the way, Auntie, where’s the bathroom? I need to use it.”

After Wu Caixia pointed out where the bathroom was, Ye Qiu hurried to use it.

While Ye Qiu was away, Wei Dajun looked at Cao Ling and laughed: “Xiao Ling, I’ve never seen you care about your uncle like that, only that kid just now. Could you be interested in that kid?”

“Uncle, what rubbish are you talking about? I’m just considering Dr. Ye as a guest, besides, he saved Grandpa twice before.”

“Really? Then why do I see your face turning red? Usually, you’re as brave as Mu Guiying or Hua Mulan, but now you’re like a little princess!”

Wei Dajun continued laughing.

The other officers joined, laughing at Cao Ling’s appearance.

“Uncle, if you keep laughing at me, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“Alright, Xiao Ling, Uncle won’t laugh at you anymore. But this Dr. Ye is indeed a good fit for my taste. If you don’t like him, I’ll introduce him to your cousin.

“Old Wei, what are you saying, Xiao Ling’s cousin is still in high school.”

“So what if she’s in high school? After high school, she’ll date someone, right? This young Dr. Ye is not bad. If Xiao Ling doesn’t want him, I’ll introduce him to my daughter!”

…

Ye Qiu, finished at the bathroom, freshened up and came out, feeling much better. Now as he went outside, he saw the officers laughing around, and Cao Ling looking very embarrassed, her face slightly red.

“What’s everyone talking about!”

Ye Qiu asked.

“Dr. Ye, have you had enough to eat? Auntie can get you a bowl of rice or soup.” Wu Caixia asked, watching Ye Qiu drinking continuously without eating much.

“Auntie, I’ll take a bowl of soup then!” Ye Qiu didn’t hold back.

After Wu Caixia brought a bowl of genuine black chicken soup for Ye Qiu, he took a sip. It was delightful, not bad at all, so he had two more bowls along with some dishes, finally satisfying his dinner.

There was still quite a bit left on the table, and Ye Qiu said, “Mr. Cao, leaders, Auntie, I’m full, you all take your time.”

“So soon, not having a bit more?”

Wu Caixia asked.

“No, I’m already stuffed.”

“Grandpa, Aunt, I’m full too.”

Just now, Cao Ling ate very elegantly, like one of those noble ladies, eating grain by grain, mainly because so many people were watching, which made her uncomfortable, and her uncle kept joking about her and Ye Qiu, making her even more hesitant to eat freely.

“Xiao Ling, why don’t you take Ye Qiu for a walk around!”

This was the Military District Compound. As long as it wasn’t a restricted area, Ye Qiu could tour around without issues.

Cao Ling and Ye Qiu went outside. After they left, Wei Dajun commented, “Old Cao, did you notice? I always feel like Ye Qiu looks a bit like someone?”

“Who?”

Mr. Cao asked.

“That young master of the Ye Family in the Capital City. Ye Qiu’s look is carved exactly like a young version of that young master. However, this Ye Qiu seems much more carefree and is a native of Jinling, which makes it puzzling.”

Wei Dajun had worked at the Capital City Military Region before, and through connections and relationships with Mr. Cao, had followed him to Jinling Military Region.

However, he had really seen that young master of the Capital City Ye Family many times, and the resemblance was striking.

Mr. Cao didn’t say much after hearing it.

But now he began to pay attention, maybe Ye Qiu really had connections with the Ye Family. Of course, he didn’t think Ye Qiu, a native of Jinling, could be related to the Ye Family in the Capital City.

However, facing them, he didn’t show any change in expression, which indicates that unless from a family of high status, it’s really hard to maintain such composure.

Ye Qiu and Cao Ling came downstairs, and as they exited the compound, Ye Qiu felt that the place was quite similar to family residences at those schools.

Indeed, it was mostly officers’ residences, with many officers’ families living here.

Cao Ling grew up in the Military District Compound, attended the kindergarten, primary school, middle school within the compound before going on to the Military University, making her feel quite separate from the outside world.

Ye Qiu hadn’t experienced such environments, so naturally, his first visit here made him curious, though the soul memories he absorbed had experienced it, now it was him personally.

It was already late evening, after eight o’clock, many lights illuminated the Military District Compound, and sounds suggested some people were still training.

Of course, nearly all the military personnel here would rest and wake up to the sound of the unified signal.

“What are you looking at?”

Cao Ling noticed Ye Qiu just looking around without talking to her, and found it odd.

“Nothing, just curious since it’s my first visit to such a place.”

“There’s nothing much, what’s outside can be found here too. Plus, it’s not as strict as ten years ago. Back then, it was really strict; outsiders couldn’t spend the night and had to leave by a certain time.”

“I’ll head back later,” Ye Qiu said.

“I wasn’t talking about you. You drank so much just now, staying at my uncle’s for the night would be fine too.” Cao Ling was worried that having drunk so much, Ye Qiu might have an accident on the way back, which would be disastrous for him.

“Looks like you really do care about me!”

Ye Qiu stopped and laughed as he looked at Cao Ling.

“Who cares about you? Shameless!”

Cao Ling laughed while walking forward, when suddenly Ye Qiu spotted a few young men in military uniforms coming over, but they didn’t look like ordinary soldiers, more like those from affluent families.
