Chapter 131 Brother, It’s Really You
"Captain Ye."
Qiao Lan hesitated for a few seconds, but still answered the call.
She was still annoyed by the polite kiss before leaving the base, but no matter how annoyed she was, what if something happened over there?
The tone after the call was connected was very polite.
She didn't call him "little brother" or "angel", but called him "Captain Ye" very politely.
Unexpectedly, the person over there was even more polite than her.
"Sister Qiao." Ye Qi said in a very soft tone.
Qiao Lan didn't understand, "Huh?"
"Sister Qiao." Ye Qi said again.
This time Qiao Lan heard it clearly.
Ye Qizhen calls her sister.
She was silent for two seconds, trying to digest the name.
Then I found I couldn’t digest it.
It feels like I ate a large piece of rice cake and didn't chew it thoroughly, and it's stuck in my esophagus, making me want to vomit.
"Captain Ye, what can I do for you?" Qiao Lan said politely and businesslike. "If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask. I've said before that I'm always here to help if I can."
It was Ye Qi's turn to be silent for a few seconds.
Then he asked cautiously, "Sister Qiao, are you still angry?"
"Captain Ye, is there anything serious that I can help you with? I'm busy here."
"What are you busy with?"
"I just finished killing someone and am going back to clean up."
"Is it dangerous? Are you injured? Who is it? Will there be other troubles later?" Ye Qi's soft tone was now filled with obvious tension and concern.
Qiao Lan was still very polite: "That's absolutely fine, don't worry. Captain Ye, if there's nothing important, I'll hang up first."
"etc!"
"Um?"
"Is everything really okay over there? Do you need me to go over and help you?"
"It's really not necessary. Captain Ye, if..."
"Don't hang up!"
"so?"
"Actually... I wanted to ask, Cha Cha hasn't had a very good appetite these past two days. She used to eat five bowls of rice in one sitting, but lately she's only eaten one or two. Should I give her some medicine to help with her stomach?"
Qiao Lan looked at his watch.
"Captain Ye, you called me at three in the morning just to satisfy a dog's appetite?"
Ye Qi said seriously, "Cha Cha's poor appetite will affect his health, and subsequently his abilities and even his combat effectiveness. As a guard dog at the base, his combat effectiveness should be continuously improved, not reduced due to his appetite. This is a matter of urgency and I'm very sorry to bother you at this time, but please help me find a solution, okay?"
I don't believe you.
Even a decent person has learned to make excuses.
Qiao Lan rolled her eyes and said, "Dear, if you can't satisfy the dog's appetite, I suggest you just get rid of the dog directly."
After saying that, the communication was cut off.
Quicken your pace and hurry back.
Inside the Crimson Dawn base, Ye Qi held the communicator in silence.
All this nonsense has been going on for a long time, but to no avail.
Do you still want to call?
It sounded like Qiao Lan was still angry about what happened during the farewell that day, and even calling her "sister" as she liked didn't work to appease her.
He glanced at the teacup dog next to him.
The dog immediately curled up into a ball, shivering, its big black eyes filled with tears.
“Woo woo woo…woo woof woof…”
Ye Qi said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Cha Cha immediately threw herself into his arms, licking him vigorously and meowing to please him.
——Life is so hard for a dog! My husband and wife had a quarrel over the phone and almost killed me!
"But do you know how to coax a girl? Think of a way for me. I miss her very much, but I pissed her off and she doesn't want to pay attention to me. Do you know how to make her pay attention to me?"
Ye Qi rubbed the teacup dog with his big hands. It was more like he was talking to himself than discussing with the dog.
It’s been more than ten days, more than two hundred hours, more than ten thousand minutes, and more than eight hundred thousand seconds since we last met.
Miss her very much.
I couldn't express this longing to anyone else, and I was too embarrassed to tell her, but I told it to Xiaogouzi without any hesitation.
And sighed at the dog.
"Alas - I miss her. Do you know how to comfort her?"
"Woo woo woo!"
The teacup dog opened its eyes wide and nodded continuously.
"You know?" Ye Qi was amused.
The dog kept nodding, looking very excited.
Of course Ye Qi didn't believe it. He held the dog and talked to himself for a while, then threw the dog away and lay down on the bed to sleep.
It is normal for him to rest in the early morning.
There are always endless things to do at the base, and he has to squeeze in time to practice his supernatural powers. Rest is a luxury for him.
Before going to bed today, he couldn't help missing her so he called her, but Qiao Lan was still fuming. Ye Qi tossed and turned, thinking maybe he'd find a way to coax her tomorrow? Or maybe the day after tomorrow?
I fell asleep in a daze and before I knew it, it was dawn.
There was a knock on the door.
Ye Qi woke up immediately and saw that the clock on the wall pointed to six o'clock.
It was the routine time for the night guard leader to come and take charge of the night's situation.
He got dressed and opened the door. Outside the door, besides the leader of the security team, there was also a woman behind him unexpectedly.
He was wearing tattered clothes, had unkempt hair and a face covered in mud, and he exuded the common stench of homeless survivors, the smell of living in an unclean environment for a long time without taking a bath.
Most of the survivors in the city are like this.
A few days ago, the base happened to find an underground warehouse for a bottled water station and dug out a lot of well-preserved bottled water. Ye Qi took out some of the water for everyone to use for bathing. After all, maintaining hygiene can prevent diseases to a certain extent.
Every five people used half a basin of water to wash their whole body. It was extremely tight on money, but everyone washed happily and scrubbed thoroughly. A major cleaning was completed throughout the base.
Now, there are no particularly smelly members among the base members.
So, this smelly woman in front of me is from outside the base?
"What's going on?"
Ye Qi looked at the woman whose face and age could not be seen and asked the team leader.
The night shift leader saluted. "Report! Captain Ye, this survivor arrived at the base at dawn this morning and said..."
"Brother! It's really you!"
The woman behind the team leader shouted excitedly before he could finish speaking, and rushed towards Ye Qi with open arms.
Ye Qi instinctively took two steps back, but was stunned when he heard the other party's voice.
"you?"
"Brother! It's me! It's me! Brother!"
"...Xiaoqing? Aren't you in the capital?"
"Brother! Wuuwuwu..."
When the night guard team leader saw the woman hugging Ye Qi and crying, his first thought was "It's over, Captain Ye is dirty."
It’s like my clean big bun is covered in mud, it’s so painful to see.
But he said, "So it really is Captain Ye's family member. I'll come back to report on my work later."
He saluted and left.
Ye Qi pushed the person who was hugging him away. It was a pleasant surprise to see him again after such a disaster, but it was really too stinky.
"Xiaoqing, come inside first, drink some water and eat something, then take a rest. You look like you've suffered a lot."
"Brother, I can still see you, and all the suffering is gone."
The visitor followed Ye Qi into the room and saw the clean and tidy room. He exclaimed with tears in his eyes: "Brother, the living conditions in your base are really good!"
"It's not my base, it's everyone's."
Ye Qi handed her a small piece of wet wipes and asked her to wipe her head, face and hands. Then he handed her a small piece of bread and a small cup of water, "Eat it."
"Woo woo woof!"
Cha Cha rushed over, grabbed the bread bag and ran away.
——These are the delicious foods left by the hostess, I can’t let others enjoy them even if I choose to.
