Chapter 321: Drunk
Qin Ge looked at the vodka before him and couldn't help but show a faint bitter smile. One could say he was indeed worthy of being a Northern Union fleet girl, right?
He is truly bold.
However, since Gangu Te made such a request, Qin Ge naturally wouldn't refuse. Moreover, he had drunk many times with A Furore before, and was no longer the one who got drunk and was carried back by Nengdai and Banrenma as before.
Only saw Qin Ge lift the cup before him, glance at the smiling Gangu Te, and then, under Guanghui's slightly worried expression, downed a cup of vodka in one go.
"Ha!" After Qin Ge finished drinking, he felt the burning sensation of alcohol flowing into his throat and said, "It's still the same taste as before."
"Good!" Gangu Te clapped and said, "Qin Ge Commander is indeed bold, truly possessing the vigor of our Northern Union people!"
Qin Ge smiled, turned his head to nod at Guanghui to indicate she shouldn't worry. Then he said to Gangu Te, "My drinking capacity is still far inferior to Senior Gangu Te's, but since Senior Gangu Te is so enthusiastic, I can accompany him for a few cups without problem."
"Haha, Qin Ge Commander, just that sentence you just said makes me feel my coming here wasn't in vain." Gangu Te laughed and said, "Comrade A Furore has praised you a lot before, and although I have indeed seen your miracles these past two days, for me, this is exactly what I like most."
Come, let's toast; from today onward, we can truly be considered acquainted.
After Gangu Te finished speaking, he took the wine bottle in his hand, poured alcohol into Qin Ge's cup, then clinked his cup with Qin Ge's, and then lifted the vodka bottle and drained it in one go.
Qin Ge's eyelids twitched, and he had no choice but to lift the cup again and drink along with Gangu Te.
"All right, Gangu Te, don't keep drinking; we came today to meet Qin Ge Commander, not to let you get him drunk." Mercury Memorial said.
After finishing the drink, Gangu Te embarrassedly set down the bottle in his hand, saying, "Haha, I'm used to it; if I sit down without drinking some vodka, I feel something's off."
Qin Ge smiled, "That doesn't matter; anyway, today is a rest day, there's nothing else to do, having a drink is fine."
"Moreover, isn't there a saying: 'When friends come, there is good wine; when enemies come, there are hunting rifles.' Doesn't that show that the two seniors are my friends?"
"Haha, Qin Ge Commander said that, I, Gangu Te, like such a bold person." Qin Ge's words made Gangu Te's favorability increase greatly; he gradually came to like Qin Ge more and more.
Perhaps because of Qin Ge's words, later at the banquet, Gangu Te again asked A Furore for a bottle of vodka, and then he, Qin Ge, and A Furore began to drink slowly.
While drinking, he recounted to Qin Ge the battles he had previously encountered. Meanwhile, Qin Ge took the opportunity to ask Gangu Te and Mercury Memorial about some events that occurred on the battlefield.
The study of all tactical books requires support from numerous battles; and Mercury Memorial, Gangu Te, and A Furore, having experienced so many wars, can be said to be veteran soldiers of a hundred battles.
Asking them about this naturally yielded great gains. However, there was also a certain cost: when Gangu Te and Mercury Memorial bade farewell to Qin Ge and returned to the Northern Union, Qin Ge was already slumped over the table.
Because his own commander had collapsed, Mercury Memorial and Gangu Te were sent off by Prince Ou Gen.
As for Qin Ge, he was supported by Belfast and Guanghui and returned to his own room.
The two placed Qin Ge on the bed; Belfast skillfully took off Qin Ge's coat and shoes, placed him properly, then went to fetch water to wipe Qin Ge's face.
Meanwhile, Guanghui wanted to step in to help, but found there was nothing he could do. He could only sit by Qin Ge's side and watch Belfast's service.
"Belfast, before I joined the fleet, had the commander ever gotten drunk?" Guanghui looked at Belfast and asked.
"Although this is the master's embarrassment, since Miss Guanghui asked, it is naturally the case." Belfast smiled, while wiping Qin Ge's face, and explained to Guanghui.
"The master's first time getting drunk in this world was probably long ago; at that time I had not yet joined the task force, and back then the fleet likely only had Miss Nengdai and Miss Banrenma."
"According to them, the master's first drunkenness was also due to drinking vodka with Senior A Furore; after I joined the fleet, the master also got drunk several times."
"I once doubted and asked the master, could it be that he likes drinking alcohol? After all, every time he drinks with Senior A Furore he ends up getting drunk."
"As a maid, I must master the master's preferences and prepare what he likes."
"But he told me he doesn't like drinking alcohol; however, being able to drink with the seniors is his honor, so he must drink, even if he can't, he still has to drink."
"But after that, the master rarely got drunk, perhaps because he was afraid we would worry."
"Hehe, the commander unexpectedly pays attention in some other areas." Guanghui smiled.
Belfast smiled and nodded, after wringing out the towel in water again, handed it to Guanghui beside him, saying, "I think Miss Guanghui also wants to give it a try?"
Guanghui happily took the towel, leaning on Belfast with narrowed eyes and smiling, "Then thank you, Belfast."
Belfast lightly laughed, "No need to thank, Miss Guanghui."
Immediately afterward, Guanghui turned back, with a gentle smile, folded the towel, and lightly rubbed it on Qin Ge's forehead. The motion was gentle and slow, as if touching a fragile artwork.
"Suddenly I feel the commander looks quite cute this way." Guanghui looked at Qin Ge's face and smiled at Belfast.
Belfast smiled and nodded, "Yes, even after seeing it so many times, I still find it very cute."
Guanghui laughed and asked, "Then, Belfast, when do you think the commander is at his cutest?"
"Oh la, Miss Guanghui, are you trying to get me to talk?" Belfast smiled.
"No, I just wanted to ask, after all, everyone's internal judgment standards differ." Guanghui replied.
"If I were to say, I think the commander is cutest when he is preparing to get up each morning."
"At that time he is half-asleep, but his will makes him want to get up, so that half-asleep, half-awake state is what I find cutest; no matter how many times I admire it, it never feels enough." Belfast said.
"If there is a chance, I would really like to see that."
