Chapter 1449 - 1449 Would Not Hold It Against A Drunk1449 Would Not Hold It Against A Drunk
“Chu Qi, it’s no fun to drink alone. We’re neighbors now. You can invite me for a drink any time.”
Chu Qi turned to size up the owner of the voice. A moment later, he flung the vat of wine toward that person.
Long Xuan caught the vat and gave it a shake. He realized that there was not a drop left. Feeling upset, he said, “Why did you give it to me after you finished it?”
“It’s getting late. I going to turn in.” Chu Qi stood up. “If you want to drink, you can get more wine from the wine cellar…”
!!
He stumbled as he got up and nearly fell over. Long Xuan reacted quickly and grabbed him.
On closer inspection, Long Xuan saw that his face was completely flushed red and the corner of his eyes bloodshot.
It was only then that Long Xuan realized he had never seen Chu Qi drink before. It looked like Chu Qi was not good at holding his liquor.

Chu Qi pushed Long Xuan away and pressed his fingers between his eyes. He spoke in a slur, “I’m not drunk…”
The corner of Long Xuan’s lips twitched. Most drunks would never admit that they were drunk.
Chu Qi looked fine on the surface, but he was teetering when he walked and was obviously drunk.
Long Xuan sighed. He had come at the wrong time. Not only did he fail to have a drink, but he also now needed to help send a drunk man home.
“That’s enough. I’ll take you back to your room.” Long Xuan had no choice but to help Chu Qi and they promptly got off the roof.
“You shouldn’t drink so much if you can’t hold your liquor. Are you that overjoyed because His Majesty bestowed a mansion to you? You’ll have your own mansion from now onward and you’ll be marrying a pretty wife soon. I guess that’s something worth being happy about,” Long Xuan rambled on by himself.
Chu Qi tipsily lifted his eyes and shot an apathetic look at him. “You talk too much!”
Long Xuan burst out laughing. “Hey, Chu Qi, are you shy? There’s nothing bad about getting yourself a wife. You won’t be lonely or bored with someone by your side. Just look at me and Qingyuan. We didn’t like each other in the beginning, but our days eventually got better and we’re quite a loving couple now! There’s nothing wrong with being bestowed marriage. You can slowly nurture a relationship…”
“You’re so shameless!” Chu Qi cut him off brusquely.
Long Xuan, “…”
He was telling the truth. Why would this be shameless?
Long Xuan decided to let him be. He would not hold it against a drunk.
He helped Chu Qi onto the bed once they were inside the room.
Long Xuan was about to call a servant to bring water to wipe Chu Qi’s face, but when he turned to look at Chu Qi, he realized that he was already asleep.
He burst out laughing. Chu Qi clearly could not hold his liquor, yet he had still drunk so much. No wonder he was so hammered.
Long Xuan shook his head. He closed the door behind him and headed back to his own home.
The next day.
Chu Qi did not appear at the imperial court. Long Yang had granted him a special day off as Chu Qi was moving to a new house.
Chu Qi woke up with a splitting headache—he was suffering from a hangover.

A pretty-looking maid walked in at that moment with some water. She saw Chu Qi sitting cross-legged on the bed with his clothes opened slightly, revealing his muscly body underneath. Her face flushed red instantly.
She had heard that the general was an unmarried young man, which was why she had gone through great efforts to put herself in a position where she could serve him personally.
Now that she was seeing the man in the flesh, the general was indeed quite youthful and handsome. Even his body was perfect.
Her heart thumped wildly. She could hardly contain her excitement and delight.
“My name is Qiao’er. Pleased to meet you, General!” she said softly in a slightly seductive voice.
Chu Qi was rubbing the spot between his eyes when he suddenly stopped. He lifted his head toward the voice and saw an unfamiliar maid standing there while stealing glances at him. He instantly frowned immediately and said testily, “Who allowed you in here?”
“I brought some water because I saw that you were about to wake up—”
“Get out!”
Chu Qi growled before Qiao’er could finish.
Qiao’er was shocked, but she was confident in her looks, so she boldly took two steps forward and said, “I was sent here by Steward Chen to serve you…”
