Chapter 867: Chapter 0867: The Beautiful Counselor Invites to Dinner

Zhao Ruxue didn’t consider herself a weak, fragile girl. As a detective, how could she possibly go unscathed? During those previous times she got shot, if not for Ye Qiu erasing the scars from her body, they would still be prominently visible.

Ye Qiu withdrew his hand, then encircled her waist. At first, Zhao Ruxue purposely pushed him away a little, but soon after, she said nothing more and allowed him to hold her like that.

She didn’t reject Ye Qiu. In fact, there was an inexplicable feeling she had toward him, but it still felt like something was missing.

When it was around ten o’clock at night, as they got into the car, Ye Qiu asked, "Ruxue, where are you headed?"

"Back home to rest tonight."

Ye Qiu started driving toward the Zhao Family Courtyard.

When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Qiu parked the car. After Zhao Ruxue got out and went inside, Ye Qiu drove back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Once back at the villa, Ye Qiu went to the second floor, took a bath, and by then it was nearing eleven at night.

The moonlight tonight was exceptional. Although he had just broken through not long ago, Ye Qiu was resolved to continue cultivating. After all, the rare Moonlight Essence available before August 15 would be much diminished after that date, requiring another year of waiting.

Ye Qiu cultivated until the next morning, waking around 8 a.m. After freshening up and getting dressed, he went downstairs and saw Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue were all present.

"Ye Qiu, I’ve already contacted Ye Fugui and asked him to bring another construction team. Regarding the mountain estate, I’ve been in touch with Boss Tang, and demolition of the buildings there has already begun."

In truth, Ye Weidong thought the buildings at the estate were quite decent and still relatively new. Demolishing them felt like such a waste. However, Ye Weidong also understood that the current Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, despite its five stories, couldn’t meet the demand of the patrons.

So now, with Ye Qiu insisting on tearing it down and redesigning anew, he felt it was not a bad idea either.

At the very least, he was beginning to realize that when it came to architectural design, it was hard to find anyone who could rival Ye Qiu.

"I haven’t finished drawing up the design plans yet. I’ll give them to you in a couple of days. After breakfast, I need to head back for military training," Ye Qiu said.

He sat down for breakfast, then drove back to Jin University Campus.

Upon returning to the campus, Ye Qiu changed into the military uniform and liberation shoes, heading back to the sports field to continue practicing military boxing. As always, the focus was on group exercises, since the assessment was approaching imminently.

In other classes, most of the students had been sunburned to the point they looked like charcoal. However, the students in Ye Qiu’s class and Li Shen’s class were in much better shape, avoiding exposure to the sun and undergoing relatively relaxed training sessions.

Still, even with such privileges, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming managed to fake illness on the first day to skip military training altogether. Since then, the two had spent every day either sleeping in the dorm or playing video games.

As lunchtime approached, when Wu Shuang was preparing to dismiss the group, a figure in a floral dress—Song Ying—showed up with her niece.

"Students, have you thought about the matter I mentioned last night?"

Last night, Song Ying had encouraged the students to prepare performances for the freshman welcome party.

However, none of the students had taken it seriously, nor did they show any interest in it. Now, hearing it brought up again by their advisor, they either shook their heads or looked down silently.

Song Ying had anticipated this response. After all, the clinical medicine major was a different breed compared to other disciplines.

If no performance was submitted, it would result in an awkward situation later on, and she wouldn’t be able to save face as an advisor.

"It seems none of you are interested in participating, but that won’t do. If no one signs up, the entire class will have to perform together," Song Ying warned.

Since this class happened to be practicing military boxing while students from other classes mainly worked on stepping drills, Song Ying thought that if she couldn’t get individual volunteers for the party, she could have the entire class perform military boxing instead.

However, she worried that by that time, the students might forget the rhythm and end up creating an even more awkward impression.

As the others dispersed gradually, Song Ying and her niece, Song Jing, approached Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu, hold on a moment!"

Song Ying called out.

Ye Qiu had already noticed Song Jing, the little girl from before.

Just like the time at the seafood buffet, she still wore twin pigtails and radiated the innocent charm of a naive young girl.

"You saved my niece last time. I haven’t properly thanked you yet. Now her parents would like to invite you for a meal. What do you think?" Song Ying said.

Ye Qiu hadn’t expected Song Jing’s parents would want to invite him to dinner.

"There’s no need for that. I’d prefer to head back and take a shower first," Ye Qiu replied.

"Alright then, we’ll wait for you downstairs by the dormitory," Song Ying said.

This left Luo Yang and the other boys feeling both envious and surprised. They couldn’t have imagined that the beautiful Song Ying would invite Ye Qiu to dinner.

What they didn’t know was the story of how Ye Qiu saved Song Jing from a severe seafood allergy that day.

However, the students were increasingly convinced that Ye Qiu wasn’t as ordinary as he appeared. Despite his simple attire, his identity might be far more complex than they had thought.

Why else would Ye Qiu get away with beating up Drill Instructor Zhang so badly without facing any consequences during these past few days?

Ye Qiu returned to the dormitory with Luo Yang and Ning Yun, took a shower, and changed into his usual plain clothes. When he headed downstairs, he saw that Song Ying and Song Jing were already waiting there.

Song Jing’s parents were both professors at Jin University, while Song Jing herself was a first-year junior high student at Jin University’s affiliated middle school. The entire Song Ying family lived in university housing.

Compared to the housing provided for high school and elementary school staff, accommodations for university professors were far superior. The building where Song Ying and Song Jing’s parents lived was situated beneath Zijin Mountain, close to Xuanwu Lake, within an area planned by Jin University.

Housing prices around the area were typically three to four thousand yuan per square foot. However, Jin University’s faculty housing was superior to typical apartment buildings with elevators, essentially gifted to professors and staff for residence.

However, the property rights still belonged to the school, meaning the use of the property reverted back to Jin University if the faculty member was dismissed or passed away.

Having only graduated recently, Song Ying hadn’t yet been allocated a faculty apartment. Instead, she was renting one near where Song Jing’s parents lived, waiting for the school to eventually provide her with more permanent housing.

As Ye Qiu accompanied Song Ying and Song Jing toward the faculty apartment buildings, Song Ying began chatting with him about her family and niece’s circumstances.

"What happened the other day between you and that drill instructor?"

Song Ying asked.

She hadn’t been aware of the incident at the time. Only later, after seeing the discussion on Jin University’s forums, did she learn about it.

She was genuinely shocked that Ye Qiu faced no repercussions whatsoever. Neither the military nor Jin University seemed to hold him accountable, and the drill instructor had apparently been dismissed from his role.
