"Qingqing." After Gu Qinglie left, he returned to the bed, bent down and gently lifted the corner of the quilt, "It's time to eat."

Gu Qingqing turned over, rolled over from the wall, and faced him: "I'm not hungry, brother."

"You should eat something." Chu Dai stood up, took the woolen coat on the back of the chair next to him, put it on slowly, and put on his watch: "Don't be too tired at night."

Gu Qingqing: "..." She quickly threw off the quilt and climbed up, hooked her arms around the man's neck, and hung on him, saying tenderly: "Help me put on my clothes, brother."

Chu Dai couldn't resist her coquettish tone, so he let her hang on him and went to the closet to get her clothes.

Gu Qingqing hugged his neck tightly and wrapped her arms around his narrow waist. "It's in the side compartment. I just took off my clothes and hung them back."

Chu Dai closed this cabinet door and opened the other one. Fearing that she would fall, he held her waist with his left hand.

"Still wearing this black one?" he asked.

"Yeah." Gu Qingqing hugged his neck and rubbed his shoulders, "I want to wear the same thing as you."

The man chuckled. "Okay."

He carried her back to bed, shook out his coat and helped her put it on.

It was almost seven o'clock when they arrived at the main hall. Gu Qinglie hooked his arm around Chu Dai's shoulder and said, "Why are you dawdling? We've been waiting for you."

Seeing that twenty or thirty cousins ​​and her own brothers were all eager to try and looking at her man with ill intentions, Gu Qingqing gave Chu Dai a look that told him to wish him well and ran to sit at the table where Zhang Cuifen and Shi Rushuang were sitting without drinking.

"Grandma! Mother."

"Hey, come and sit over here." Zhang Cuifen took her cold little hand and said, "Old Third Wife, kick the charcoal stove over here."

"Okay, Qingqing, hurry up and eat. I didn't see you eat anything at noon." Han Lianxin had been getting her lunch, and she didn't know that she had eaten braised pork in the kitchen.

Gu Qingqing took the bowl and chopsticks, smiled and said, "Okay."

"Brother-in-law." Gu Xiong smiled and filled his glass: "This is the Maotai you brought. Grandpa was reluctant to take it out to serve wine, so let us drink it ourselves."

"...Thank you, brother." Chu Dai suddenly felt a little annoyed why he had to bring so much wine. More than 60 tables had not finished drinking at noon. He held the black wine bowl in his hand, his mind racing.

Can this alcohol be avoided? How to avoid it? Gu Qinglie would definitely not help him, he would only encourage others to force him to drink. "A Zhao." He suddenly said.

Chu Zhao had already hidden at another table. He had drunk quite a bit at noon and was feeling dizzy now. He was afraid that his brothers would call him over to stop the drinking.

Avoiding Chu Dai's gaze, he cleared his cough and spoke to the guard Xiao Xu.

Chu Dai withdrew his gaze, knowing that there was no way out.

He was a little worried that he might have drunk too much and would fall asleep like that that night.

If that happened, some little girl would definitely laugh at him unscrupulously early tomorrow morning.

He didn't want to lose face in front of his wife.

While he was thinking of a countermeasure, Gu Canyang suddenly raised his hand and poured a bowl of wine, touched his bowl, and said in a cold and clear voice: "Qingqing is in your hands, treat her well."

After saying this, he picked up the wine bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Chu Dai straightened his expression, picked up the wine bowl, and nodded, "Sure."

He drank it all without hesitation, leaving not a drop behind.

The atmosphere became lively. With Gu Canyang opening the conversation, the brothers of the Gu family toasted one after another. Chu Dai no longer knew how many rounds he had drunk. He only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.

Chu Yuan was chatting and laughing with Gu Tiezhu. They had five days left before returning to the military area. The Gu family was easy to get along with, and he liked them very much because of their honest and straightforward people.

Hearing the noisy sounds coming from the table next to him and the enthusiastic smiles on the faces of the boys from the Gu family, and then looking at his son who was leaning against the wall, sitting still as a mountain with a calm expression, eating bowl after bowl of rice, he turned his eyes away.

This kid has reached his limit and is still struggling.

Gu Qinglie saw that his brother's eyes had stopped moving, as if he was numb, and scratched his head, "Brother-in-law?"

Chu Dai looked at him straight.

Gu Qinglie grinned and put down his wine bowl: "Brothers, stop drinking. Our brother-in-law is dying."

Gu Canyang tilted his head and keenly caught the dark light that flashed across the eyes of the man in the corner. He glanced at him indifferently, then turned his head away and continued to eat his food.

"Qingqing!" Gu Qinglie snatched the wine bowl from Chu Dai's hand and called him sister: "Hurry up and help your man back to the room and let him rest for a while."

Gu Qingqing quickly finished the rice in the bowl, came over and held Chu Dai's shoulders, letting him lean on her: "Why are you so drunk?"

Gu Qinglie scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It was your brother Axiong and brother Yuanchao who kept pouring it, and I couldn't stop it."

Gu Yuanchao looked at him in disbelief: "Weren't you the one pouring the wine just now?"

Gu Qinglie saw the girl's sharp eyes sweeping over him, so he ran to hide beside Gu Canyang and muttered quietly, "It was my eldest brother who took the lead in asking him to drink. You also know that there are many brothers in our family, and each of them would drink 20 to 30 bowls at a time."

Upon hearing this, Gu Canyang stood up immediately.

The stool tilted to one side, and Gu Qinglie fell to the ground before he could react.

Gu Qinglie grimaced, covered his butt and climbed up, looking at Gu Canyang's straight back, mumbling something but not daring to say it out loud.

Gu Qingqing ignored him, holding Chu Dai's arm, and whispered softly: "Brother? Let's go back to the room, okay? I don't want to drink anymore."

Chu Dai nodded and followed her obediently. Gu Qinglie had never seen him so obedient before. After confirming that he was drunk, he rubbed his butt and sat back down.

"Let's have a drink together." The atmosphere became lively again. The adults glanced at it casually and continued to talk about other things.

Gu Qingqing was gentle for once. She helped the man into the house, let him sit on the edge of the bed, and planned to go out to get a basin of hot water to wipe his face.

When I turned around and was about to leave, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by a warm hand.

She looked back and saw the man looking at her with smiling eyes. His gaze was clear and bright without a trace of drunkenness.

There was no light in the room. A pair of red dragon and phoenix candles flickered on the table. The night was quiet and silent.

She stared at the man's black and white eyes for a long time, then realized what was going on and feigned anger: "You are pretending to be drunk!"

Chu Dai pulled her hand and with some force, the woman fell onto his lap.

"No, I'll pass out after drinking one more bowl."

Knowing that his emotions had been strained to the limit, he did not dare to drink any more.

Gu Qingqing put her hands around his neck, leaned on his shoulder and sniffed the alcohol on him, "What about lunch? You drank so much but you didn't get drunk."

“Zhao Ze gave me some medicine,” the man chuckled, “and now it’s gone.”

"Why does he have all these weird things?" Gu Qingqing pouted, "What else did he give you?"

Chu Dai's eyes darkened when he heard this. "It's in the box. Can you take it out and have a look?"

"Can I?" She became interested.

"It's okay." Chu Dai urged her, "Just go get it with confidence."

Gu Qingqing jumped up from him and walked to the box. As soon as she opened the lid, she turned her head to look at the man who was lazily leaning against the head of the bed. His left foot was on the ground, his right leg was bent at the knee and resting on the edge of the bed, and his fair and thin right hand was hanging between his legs.

He nodded to her leisurely.

Gu Qingqing turned back again, took out all the candy bags on the top layer, pushed aside the other miscellaneous items, and saw the small white cardboard box at the bottom.

She took it out and asked the man, "Is this it?"

Chu Dai's eyes darkened a little, with a playful look in them, and his chin slightly nodded.

After getting the man's affirmation, she closed the box again, walked to the bed with the small box in her arms and sat down, looking at him inquiringly: "Open it now."

"Well, go ahead."

She unpacked the carton slowly and clumsily, looking at the contents by the flickering candlelight.

There are neat rows of small square paper bags.

The man didn't move from beginning to end, his eyes fixed on her.

Gu Qingqing took one out curiously. It felt very light in her hand and she didn’t know what was in the paper bag. Was it paper too?

She asked Chu Dai, "Brother."

"Hmm?" The man raised his eyes lazily.

"What's in it?"

"Open it and take a look."

Seeing that he refused to say anything, Gu Qingqing became suspicious. She turned it over and saw words on the back.

She couldn't help but read it out -

"Family planning products, diameter 35 mm, two condoms..." After reading this, she came to her senses and angrily threw the small paper bag in her hand at the man.

The man raised his lips, and the smile in his eyes could not be suppressed. His slender fingertips pinched the thin paper bag, "Why don't you read it?"

"Why did Brother Zhao give you these things?!" Gu Qingqing's face was burning with anger, and she wanted to bury her head in the quilt immediately.

If it weren't for the flickering candlelight covering her eyes, Chu Dai would have seen that his girl was red from the neck to the back, with her earlobes almost bleeding.

"He was afraid that you would get pregnant on the island, and it would be inconvenient without a female military doctor." Chu Dai said frankly, "That's what I was worried about before, not that I didn't want to have a baby with you."

Gu Qingqing quickly closed the small paper box again and threw it onto a stool nearby like a hot potato.

After hearing what the man said, she felt a little shy: "...I have been on the island for several years, and I can't keep not having children."

Chu Dai smiled and said, "If you want it, take it. I will listen to you."

Gu Qingqing heard this and moved closer to the man. She looked at the small paper bag he was playing with between his fingers. Her face was still a little hot. She whispered, "... Is this thing useful?"

Chu Dai's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Let's try?"

Gu Qingqing climbed her hands around his neck, leaned against him, and whispered in his ear, "You drank so much tonight...are you okay?"

Chu Dai really smiled this time, with a hint of danger and wildness in his eyes. He slowly began to unbuckle his belt, pulled it out and threw it aside.

Gu Qingqing swallowed her saliva, her heart pounding like a deer in her heart.

Although there was a hint of shyness in her big eyes, there was also a frank expectation, which was an invitation in the eyes of men.

He could no longer bear it and didn't want to endure it any longer, so he grabbed the woman and held her tightly, lips to lips.

Gu Qingqing panted, trembling as she unbuttoned the hem of his shirt, her hands moving downwards.
