Chapter 423: This Seat Belongs to Someone That Has the Seniority to Brag

The people walked into the lobby one after another. Xu Cheng wasn’t in a rush to go to the table, instead of going to the toilet first.

Elder Ye, Elder Zhou, Elder Xing, Elder Nie, and Elder Guo sat down and all began chatting and laughing.

Among the five of them, Elder Ye was the oldest, and he was also the one with the highest seniority among them to brag.

Elder Zhou saw it was rare for Elder Ye to come out, so he began joking with him, “Big Brother Ye, if you hadn’t come out for a longer while, us brothers would’ve thought that you died of old age at home already.”

“You are just looking forward to my death, aren’t you?” Elder Ye shouted, “Well let me tell you, I came especially today to let you guys know that I’m still alive, ahahahaha!”

The other four old men also laughed out very naturally. It was clear that Elder Ye was very happy today, and amongst the five of them, Elder Ye’s health was the worst. As the bros back in the old days that fought side by side against those that invaded their country, there were only five of them left. Every time they lost one of their old comrades, it was a very heartbreaking event, and every time they heard that Elder Ye had to skip their reunions to stay home and take care of his health, the four of them would really worry about the guy.

Elder Nie said to the manager, “Bring a few of your best dishes, the most authentic Yanjing kind. Also, bring up the good alcohol, facking don’t bring up wine or Imma smash it. Bring up white liquor, the most authentic Erguotou.”

The manager immediately smiled and said, “Alright, Commanders, just wait. Our chefs will bring you the most authentic flavors.”

When Xu Cheng got back from the washroom, he thought, “What a coincidence, the other four elders all brought the third generation of their families. What a narrow path for “enemies”.

Among them, Xu Cheng remembered two. That was right, it was those descendants of the military families that came over to try and merge the two special forces clubs, Old Zhou and the other one.

Elder Nie ordered the dishes and began teasing Elder Ye, “Among us right now, the one that can brag the most is you. Don’t die too early. Come out often. If you are not present, our reunions are pretty boring.”

“Yeah, Big Brother Ye, don’t hide in your home all the time.” The other three elders also extremely treasured the time they had left together and were worried that there wasn’t much time left.

Elder Ye agreed with what Elder Nie said. He immediately said to Xu Cheng, who was behind him, “Did you hear that? Only you’re annoyed from hearing me brag. Look at these four, they’ve all got great taste and just love stories!”

Xu Cheng laughed and said, “No sh-t, they are all like you and love bragging. Your bromance has been alive for dozens of years, how else would you all be sitting here if you aren’t from the same world?”

The five elders all began laughing.

Elder Zhou checked Xu Cheng out and laughed as he asked, “Big Brother Ye, this is the youngster that you are always talking about lately?”

The other three elders were all checking out Xu Cheng.

“Commanders, you guys can look at me all you want, but can you not check me out like you’re checking out a girl? I’m not used to it.” Xu Cheng was speechless. The eyes of these four guys felt really sharp, the kind that could really see through you.

Those four elders paused for a moment, and then they all laughed at Xu Cheng’s words.

Elder Ye finally pulled Xu Cheng to the front and solemnly said, “Come here, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my bragging right that I brought out today, none of you can mock me for always bragging about the things I did dozens of years ago. Today, I’m going to let him brag for me.”

“Have a seat, we will call you Little Cheng from now on. You won’t mind, right?” the elders smiled and said.

Xu Cheng shook his head. “That should be the case. You can call me however you feel comfortable.”

The elders all laughed again. “Your temper really fits ours.”

After Xu Cheng sat down, the youngsters standing behind the other elders were all a bit unhappy and unconvinced. Their eyes all spread wide open and Old Zhou instinctively said, “Xu Cheng, you are really going to sit just because the old commanders told you to sit? Shameless much?”

“Yeah, are you qualified to sit?” Elder Guo’s grandson Guo Rong also echoed.

Then, Xu Cheng felt like he would be in the wrong whether he chose to sit or stand, so he awkwardly looked at the elders and asked, “How about I take the chair away and pretend to sit then?”

The five elders all burst into laughter again.

After laughing, Elder Zhou turned to his grandson and said, “Little Ming, Grandpa is telling you that in our circle, we brag with our capabilities, but not anyone can brag. You will have to accomplish something great in order to gain bragging rights.”

Zhou Xiaoming nodded and said, “Grandpa, I know, and that’s why I asked why Xu Cheng is qualified to sit down. He’s about the same age as us, and his character is really not too good. Grandpa, it was all thanks to him that last time I got hospitalized. You don’t know how frustrated I was to have nowhere to vent my anger.”

Xu Cheng directly poured two cups of liquor and then got up and pa.s.sed it to Zhou Xiaoming and the other Elder Guo’s grandson and said, “No discord, no concord. Let’s have a drink and bury the hatchet from when I wasn’t able to control my power last time. How about that?”

Elder Guo’s grandson and Zhou Xiaoming directly snorted. If it was Ye Xiu, then they would forgive him because of Elder Ye, but for someone with no background like Xu Cheng trying to suck up to them at a situation like this, they thought Xu Cheng was daydreaming.

“Is this you apologizing?” Zhou Xiaoming said in disdain.

“Uh, not at all.” Xu Cheng’s words shocked everyone. “We all played by the rules, and you two couldn’t beat me in a fight and couldn’t admit defeat. I’m just paying respect to you two with this drink because I don’t want to ruin the mood for the elders. I didn’t say I’m apologizing though.”

The five elders immediately began laughing and slapping the table. Elder Zhou pointed at Xu Cheng and said, “You little brat, you are very interesting.”

Then, he said to Zhou Xiaoming with a commanding tone, “Take the drink!”

“Grandpa!” Zhou Xiaoming looked at Elder Zhou in disbelief, and when he saw the latter’s serious face, he quickly reached over to take the cup from Xu Cheng’s hand.

Elder Guo’s grandson was no exception. He also unwillingly took the drink.

Elder Zhou sternly added, “Take with both hands!”

The two of them were in a daze for a moment and no longer dared to fool around. They respectfully held the cup with both hands, and then Xu Cheng picked up his and gestured. “Let’s drink our old grudges away.”

Then, he downed the drink, and Zhou Xiaoming and Guorong both downed their cup as well. Then, wiping their mouth, they still glanced at Xu Cheng with a hint of disdain.

Zhou Xiaoming directly said, “Come on, last time didn’t count. Let’s go a few hundred rounds more today, and the loser has to call the winner Grandpa.”

“Well, if you can really go a few hundred rounds against me, then I will be happy to accompany you. But the key is, stomping noobs is not a concern, but if you guys really end up calling me ‘grandpa’, I will be on the same level of seniority as the five old commanders despite my young age. I don’t like that. I’m still fresh meat.”

Elder Xin said, “Is being on our level of seniority an insult to you or something?”

“Nah.” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. “You guys are too good at bragging, and my skin is still relatively thin.“

”Hahahaha.” The elders began laughing again.
