Chapter Twenty-Five: Reunion in the Imperial Capital

  "What's different about us soldiers………" A pleasant mobile phone ringtone sounded.

  Xiao Ye picked up his phone in a daze and answered it. "Xiao, little brother, where are you? I'll come pick you up!"

  Xiao Yu heard it was Cai Laoshi's voice, looked up and saw that the sky outside had already brightened, the clock showed more than 8 o'clock. He hurriedly said: "Cai Ge, I don't know where this place is either, let's go to that side and meet up!"

  "That's okay, let's meet at the entrance of Qingquan Mountain Villa at 10 o'clock!" After finishing speaking, Cai teacher hung up the phone. Xiao Ye only had time to look around his living place then, and it seemed to be decorated like a hotel.

  "Knock, knock, knock..." A series of knocks on the door rang out.

  "Come in!" Xiao Yu responded.

  Zhang Dahai pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Xiao Ye still sitting on the bed without getting up, he smiled and said: "Third brother, I think you should wake up now."

  Xiao Ye scratched his head awkwardly and smiled, saying: "Where's Second Brother? Is he awake yet? I was thinking of visiting him last night!"

  "Not yet, the kid is still sleeping... but Third Brother can really hold his liquor! He drank at least five kilos last night and he's already awake so early!" Zhang Dahai said casually as he walked around Xiao Yu's bedside, looking at him with a curious expression.

  "Right, big brother, this is where it's at!" Xiao Yu wasn't very good at lying and could only awkwardly change the subject. He couldn't very well say that he had obtained Zhong Kui's inheritance and become able to drink, after all.

  "This is the barracks, it's already 8:30, get up and wash up, let's go have breakfast!" Zhang Dahai was interrupted by Xiao Yu, only then did he remember that he had come to call Xiao Yu for breakfast.

  As soon as he heard it was already 8:30, Xiao Yu hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom to wash up while saying: "Big brother, you go eat! I still have something urgent to do later, so I won't eat. When second brother wakes up, tell him for me!"

  "You go, I'll send you off..." said Xiao Yu, looking at Xiao Ran who hastily washed his face and rushed out.

  "It's okay..." Xiao Yu's voice came from afar.

  ………………

  Xiao You arrived at the entrance of Qingquan Mountain Villa District five minutes and ten seconds late, where he met Teacher Cai and they walked in together.

  Qingyuan Mountain Villa District, although it is called a district, is actually a mountain-style villa, located on Qingyuan Mountain, adjacent to Xiangshan. It is an upscale residential area with only 50 villas covering the entire mountain, with a total building area of 100,000 square meters. The surrounding environment is extremely beautiful, adjacent to Xiangshan tourist attraction. This is also a feng shui sacred place in the hearts of literati and dignitaries of various dynasties. It is said that some national leaders often stay on the mountain top to relax and chat.

  In the past two years, housing prices have skyrocketed, and some developers are searching everywhere for land resources. In order to preserve Xiangshan's natural beauty, the government has imposed very strict restrictions on land use here, making land resources extremely scarce. As a result, Qingquan Mountain Villas have become mysterious in people's minds, and the villas here have gradually become a symbol of status.

  Cai Laoshi walked and introduced Xiao Yu along the way.

  Due to the current real estate boom, even the cheapest villa here requires a starting price of 100 million yuan. Despite this, many people are still flocking to this place, regarding it as a symbol of status.

  Cai Laoshi's words made even Xiao Yu, who had always been indifferent to wealth, listen with rapt attention.

  The security work in the community is extremely strict. Even if they knew Mr. Cai, they still checked Xiao Yu's ID card and used a walkie-talkie to confirm with the residents before letting them pass. One of the security guards then drove them in using an electric sightseeing car.

  Inside the community, there are also rows of maple trees. It's autumn now, and the red leaves are connected to form a piece, making the community a fiery red ocean. The ground is covered with green lawns and small plants, and from a distance, it looks like a vibrant and thriving scene, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed.

  "Hmph..." Xiao Yu suddenly let out a low chuckle.

  "Xiao Lao Di, what's wrong?" Cai Lao asked strangely upon hearing Xiao Yu's laughter.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing!" Xiao Yu shook his head repeatedly. Actually, just looking at the red maple leaves and green grass, Xiao Yu thought of a phrase - Red matches green, like dog fart.

  The electric car moves slowly on the ring mountain road, and all kinds of villas are different along the way. European-style, Chinese-style, Russian-style, almost no repetition in style between each villa.

  The rickshaw stopped in front of a Chinese-style villa, and the two got out. Mr. Cai led Xiao Ye to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell.

  "He's coming..."

  The gate opened with a creak, and a woman came out to greet them. Xiao Yu looked up, and was taken aback, unexpectedly running into an acquaintance...

  "Old Cai is here!" The woman who opened the door greeted him with a shout.

  "Mrs. Zhou, let me introduce...” Mr. Cai was about to introduce Xiao Yu, but suddenly saw Mrs. Zhou opening the door and staring blankly at Xiao Yu.

  "Sister, what's wrong? You don't recognize me after just one day?" Xiao Yu saw the young woman at the door and greeted her with a smile.

  Xiao Yu looked at the woman walking out of the villa, who was the mother of the little boy with yin-yang eyes he met on the train. What a coincidence, didn't expect to meet again in just one day, among the millions of people in Beijing, meeting twice in less than a day, it seems that he and their family are indeed fated.

  "Little brother, it's really you! I was afraid of recognizing the wrong person. Quick, quick, please come in! Old Cai, you too, please come in!" The young woman said excitedly.

  After entering the villa, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up involuntarily. It wasn't because of the luxurious decorations here, but rather because they were very distinctive, with a classical charm that seemed to emanate from them. As soon as you entered the door, directly opposite the entrance was a huge screen about 2 meters high and 12 screens wide, with dragons and phoenixes soaring on it, perfectly separating the front door and the living room inside into two worlds.

  Behind the screen, a uniform set of classical furniture, although Xiao Yu didn't understand these things, but Xiao Yu, due to the fusion of Zhong Wei's memories, still had some insight, and each piece of furniture shone with an ancient color that had been accumulated for at least hundreds of years.

  "Old Song, hurry up, honored guests have arrived!" Just as they entered the house, a young woman named Zhou Ruoying shouted into the room.

  "Who's there?" A man's voice came from upstairs.
