Chapter 2275 - 2235: Elder Cao Feels Unwell

It was past eight in the evening. Ye Qiu was playing games in his room when he suddenly noticed something floating down outside the window. He got up to look and found it was really snowing.

The weather forecast had said there would be heavy snow today.

Unexpectedly, the sun had disappeared by the afternoon, and the temperature plummeted because the cold air from Siberia had reached Jinling.

By now, heavy snow had started to fall.

Ye Qiu watched for a while and then returned to his computer to continue his game.

Around ten at night, Ye Qiu’s phone suddenly rang. It was Cao Ling calling.

It had been a long time since Ye Qiu had seen the beauty Cao Ling. She hadn’t contacted him either, so Ye Qiu didn’t bother to reach out.

Now that Cao Ling was calling so late, Ye Qiu figured there must be something up.

"Hello, are you asleep?" Cao Ling asked on the other end.

"Not yet, I’m on the computer."

In this kind of weather, with such heavy snowfall, there’s no moon, so how can anyone cultivate?

"Do you not like me anymore?"

Before going to Yanjing during the summer vacation, Ye Qiu had won her over, and she had given everything to him. Unexpectedly, he didn’t keep in touch with her regularly.

This made Cao Ling feel a great sense of disparity and discomfort.

"Of course not. Haven’t you been busy with classes all along?"

"Who has classes all the time? Military school courses aren’t any different from other universities’ courses."

"I went to Siberia for a while."

Ye Qiu hadn’t told Cao Ling about his trip to Siberia.

Ye Qiu went to Siberia?

She didn’t even know?

"What did you go there for?"

"To treat someone."

Cao Ling quickly realized that she was contacting Ye Qiu now also to have him treat someone.

"Ye Qiu, my grandpa is also not feeling well. We want you to come and have a look."

"What’s wrong with Grandpa?"

"He has a high fever, and the military doctor hasn’t been able to help."

"I’ll come over in a bit."

It must be due to the temperature difference.

The temperature dropped today, coupled with the elderly issues.

Even though Grandpa Cao was a soldier, he’s older now, and it’s easy for him to have health issues.

After Ye Qiu got dressed, put on a coat, and went downstairs, Lin Xiang and Xiaomai were excitedly watching and taking photos of the snow, especially Lin Xiang.

Seeing Ye Qiu leave, Lin Xiang wondered where he was going so late.

"Ye Qiu, where are you going?"

"To treat someone."

As he went outside, the car parked in the garage was already covered in a thin layer of white snow.

After getting in the car and starting it, the heater was turned on, and as the snow on the windshield slowly melted, Ye Qiu reversed and left, heading towards the Military Region.

Almost an hour later, he arrived at the Military Region. After being checked by the soldiers at the gate and confirming his identity, Ye Qiu drove into the Military District Compound.

Stopped in the Military District Compound.

When Ye Qiu got out of the car, he saw Cao Ling had already come out.

Ordinary people are afraid of the cold.

Unlike Ye Qiu, who, even wearing just a thin layer, didn’t feel cold.

Ye Qiu walked over, took Cao Ling’s hand, and asked, "Cold?"

"Of course it’s cold."

Inside, with the heating on, it didn’t feel cold, but outside, it was very chilly.

Hurriedly went inside, and Ye Qiu found it quite comfortable with the heating on.

Several officers from the Military Region were there, and Cao Ling’s parents had also returned.

Ye Qiu greeted them and then went to Cao Lao’s room.

Upon entering, there was a military doctor examining Cao Lao, but the high fever hadn’t subsided.

Ye Qiu gave Cao Lao a check-up, and even without a thermometer, he knew Cao Lao’s temperature was as high as 39 degrees Celsius.

Moreover, Cao Lao’s entire body was hot, and his complexion was poor.

"Ye Qiu, how is my grandpa?"

"Cao Lao’s problems are due to the sudden temperature change. Don’t worry; I’ll treat him quickly. You all wait outside for a while."

After Cao Ling and her parents left.

Ye Qiu conducted a thorough examination of Cao Lao and found he had no other issues aside from this.

Generally, Cao Lao had been exercising consistently.

Incidentally, Ye Qiu had cured him of that phlegm in his chest before, so he hadn’t had any problems since then.

When Ye Qiu finished the treatment, Cao Lao opened his eyes, noticing Ye Qiu had come.

"Ye Qiu, when did you get here?"

"Half an hour ago. Cao Ling said you weren’t feeling well, so I came to check on you."

"I suddenly felt a bit unwell the day before yesterday, didn’t think much of it, and only consulted a military doctor today when it got really bad."

"Cao Lao, although you’re a veteran, your constitution pales compared to the young soldiers."

In fact, most people start experiencing a gradual decline after thirty, and it intensifies after forty. Cao Lao is over sixty now.

Being able to work like the other officers is already impressive.

"I know that."

Ye Qiu chatted with Cao Lao for half an hour. When they came out, the officers left, relieved to see their chief was fine.

Ye Qiu’s medical skills are undeniably impressive. When the military doctor rechecked Cao Lao’s temperature, it had completely returned to normal.

"Such abrupt weather changes make the elderly and children particularly vulnerable," Ye Qiu said.

It was already around 11 PM.

With Cao Lao treated, Ye Qiu was preparing to leave.

After mentioning it to Cao Lao’s parents, Ye Qiu was about to leave when Cao Ling saw him out.

"Cao Ling, why don’t you come with me?"

Recalling Yanjing’s wild times, Cao Ling wanted to leave with Ye Qiu but couldn’t, at least not yet, not with her parents knowing.

"I’ll come to find you on Saturday when I’m off," Cao Ling whispered.

Her face blushing, occasionally looking back to check if her parents were watching.

"Saturday, then."

As Ye Qiu drove off, watching his car disappear into the snowy night, Cao Ling hurried back inside.

"Is that kid gone?"

"Grandpa, he’s left," Cao Ling said.

In fact, Cao Lao already knew that Ye Qiu was the legitimate grandson of Ye Lao from the Capital City and the illegitimate child of the Ye Family’s second young master, but Ye Qiu didn’t acknowledge the Capital City Ye Family.

Ye Lao had come here several times, leaving empty-handed every time. He temporarily gave up.

Cao Lao reflected and realized Ye Qiu had been abandoned by the Ye Family since childhood and raised by Ye Weidong and his wife. Now successful, Ye Lao wanted to bring him back to acknowledge his ancestry.

How could Ye Qiu agree to that?

Moreover, Ye Qiu was rather bold, even going as far as blowing up someone else’s ancestral tomb during the National Day holiday.

Cao Lao had heard this too.
