Chapter 25, Persimmon
Chapter 25, Persimmon
Because Linda is from Sichuan, she chose a famous Sichuan restaurant for dinner. William ordered the dishes in advance, and the table was full, and the wine was indispensable. The red and white beers were lined up on the floor, which looked spectacular.
William said that there were not many people, and there were more than a dozen people sitting down. Except for Linda and a girl she brought over, the others were all old men.However, there are beauties, and the two can still hold the field, so that a group of people who usually talk about their chests without talking about their butts, today the topic is all about being tall.
I sat next to William.This kid is in a very high mood tonight, and he will try to persuade everyone to drink. As far as he is concerned, I am not a brother if I don't drink.I definitely can't hide, so I had to drink all the cups and pour them into my stomach without any waste.
I don't remember how much I drank, but the red and white mixed together, one or two cups are enough, not to mention my stomach has been tossed by me for a long time.Sure enough, halfway through the drink, I couldn't sit still. There were bursts of needle-like pain in my stomach, and layers of cold sweat were already breaking out on my head and hands.
Just trying to find some reason to sneak out, Allen, who was sitting diagonally across from me, just took out a pack of cigarettes, fiddled with them carelessly, and asked me if I was interested in going out for a smoke.
Of course I wanted to get away, but Alan didn't feel more friendly to me than the wine glass in front of me, so I still held on and didn't move.
"Let's go, take one, I happen to have something to ask you for advice."
This person has always been used to talking to himself, and it sounded like a discussion in his mouth, but he had already walked up, stretched out his hand to wrap my shoulders, and half-dragged and half-supported me out of the seat.
The restaurant is on the second floor, and the stairwell is just outside the door. Alan's kindness only lasted here. When he let go, I suddenly lost my support, my feet went limp, and I immediately half-kneeled to the floor, clutching my stomach.
"Why do you give such a big gift? I'm ashamed of it." Ai Lun hates this guy because he didn't even have a good word in his mouth, but in the end he still gave me a hand.
He wanted to pull me up, but he didn't. He simply squatted down and asked gloatingly, "Is this a stomachache? I think you had a good drink just now. Why did you have a stomachache?"
He wants to laugh at me, of course I can't control it, and I really don't have the energy to control it.My stomach problem is an old problem, and it hurts before, but it's not like today, it seems like a deliberate punishment, there is an invisible knife constantly turning it, the pain is so painful that I can't control my tongue, and I can't speak .
"Can you still get up?" Allen finally stopped being weird, but he was not too polite, "You have to be soft, I can hug you up."
"Fuck you." I raised my eyes and glared at him fiercely.
Damn, I just have a stomachache, not a brain disorder.
Ai Lun curled his lips in disdain, then laughed again inexplicably, and said, "Zhou Jingchen, it doesn't hurt if you can swear, and you get up when you don't hurt. I really think it looks good to kneel here to block the road."
Out of the corner of his eye, he did see someone upstairs watching.I am not as thick-skinned as Allen, and I am embarrassed to be surrounded by people like a circus. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth.
Allen followed me and asked leisurely, "Is it okay?"
"Don't worry about it." I whispered angrily.
Allen sneered: "I don't care? I don't care if you drink to death here today."
"That's none of your business."
I thought what I said was indifferent enough. Allen did not answer for a while, but he was almost downstairs, and there were still four or five stairs. My eyes were dazzled, and I fell downstairs.
Allen quickly grabbed my hand, and finally got airy again: "How about it, don't worry about my business?"
With my eyes closed, I was carried downstairs by him like a puppet, and then led to the side of the road.I gained some strength and wanted to break free from his hand, but I couldn't at all.
I looked up at him feebly: "Alan, let go, I will take a taxi back by myself."
"Where are you going back? If you don't go to the hospital after the pain is so bad, what are you thinking!" Alan didn't move his hands, and his tone sounded even more impolite, "It doesn't matter if you really want me to hug me, you don't have to be afraid of those people inside watching Are you there?"
"I'm not going to the hospital."
"Aren't you going?" After a stalemate for a while, Alan asked helplessly.
Just as I shook my head, there was another piercing pain in my stomach, and I took a deep breath.
"Forget it, I'll take you back. Zhou Jingchen, if you still hold it awkwardly like this, don't blame me for being rude."
I don't know what he means by you're really rude, and I don't have the energy or energy to think about it.After getting in the taxi, I leaned on the back seat, and Alan sat next to me with a sullen face, but didn't say anything.
After a drowsy journey, Allen suddenly asked me when we were about to get home, "Zhou Jingchen, do you remember how many years have passed since we met?"
I opened my eyes and looked at him without saying a word. Allen also glanced at me, and then he looked away and said with a smile: "Ten years, ten years at a time. I can't imagine that after ten years, we can still sit together." together."
"Ellen..."
"My name is Chen Lin. Don't you remember?" He turned his head to look at me with a sneer on his lips, "I thought you forgot. Last time you were angry and scolded me and kicked my car, I was actually happy. "
I already had a stomachache, and my head hurts when someone suddenly said this inexplicably, but I still can't pretend that I didn't hear it.
I can't turn a deaf ear, because I don't want him to have any misunderstandings, especially emotional ones.I had to cheer up: "Alan, ten years is not short, and many things are different from before..."
"It's nothing different. Even if your name is Joe and I'm Alan, so what, aren't you Zhou Jingchen and I'm Chen Lin? I don't care about the changes, I believe that in another ten years It won't change either."
"I..." I looked at Allen, my scalp numb from the light in his eyes.
I'm actually not good at saying these words, just like rejecting him at that time, I still find it difficult to say it now.It's not a feeling of reluctance to be sought after, but a somewhat unwillingness to be hurt.
"Chen Lin, it is impossible for me to love others in this life."
It's rare that Allen didn't ask to walk me upstairs.In fact, since I said that sentence, he never looked at me again, and naturally he didn't say anything more.
I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but more of it is the relief after some pressure is relieved.After returning home, I found a large amount of medicine and drank it with water, then rolled it up in a cup and patiently waited for the pain to pass.
Maybe it was because of the numbness from the pain, but I actually slept well, but just after dawn in the morning, I woke up after having a nightmare, and when I touched my head, my hands were covered in cold sweat.
My teeth bleed suddenly when I got up to wash and wash, but not much. I stared at the sink in a daze for a while, and after I packed up, I went out to work.
Only when I arrived at the company did I find out that William had also died from drinking yesterday, so he decided to take his annual leave today.Even the boss who sits in the meeting every day is not there. I am happy to be quiet and close the door to catch up with the last drawing.
I was in a hurry, but the tip of the pen didn't catch fire, but I caught fire first, my body temperature rose quickly, my headache was about to split, my bones were so sore as if I had been crushed by something, and my throat was dry and burning.
I had antipyretics in the drawer. I swallowed two pills without water in the cup, but they couldn’t go down at all. They were stuck in my throat and were bitter and astringent. Tears of pain came out, so I had to get up to get water.
I didn’t feel anything when I fell down, but I was startled when I woke up, because I was already lying on the sofa, and besides the blanket, I was covered with other people’s clothes.
I suddenly felt real fear.Partly because of this defenseless void of awareness, partly because I couldn't yet imagine that someone must have discovered my secret.
Raise your hand over your eyes.The soft light in the office became extremely glaring at this moment, I didn't want to see the light, Ning Yuan himself was still stuck in the dark, so he didn't have to face anyone.
Just thinking about it this way, another kind of sadness welled up in my heart. With me like this, the day when I really don’t see the light of day probably won’t be long.
Only allowing myself to escape willfully for a short while, I threw off my clothes and blankets, climbed onto the sofa and sat up.His head was still dizzy, and his vision was blurred and distorted.
But that level of blur isn't enough to make it hard for me to tell who's sitting behind my computer.Allen, it really was him.Not only did he discover my secret, but he also swiped the mouse to look at my computer in an open manner.
It was like falling into an ice cellar in an instant, and God knows I didn't have time to turn off my design.
"Chen Lin, what the hell are you doing?" I wanted to be more fierce, but my voice was weak, and when I opened my mouth, my voice was not only low, but also hoarse, unlike myself.
"Are you awake?" Allen only looked up at me, without even a trace of panic on his face, and his gaze was still focused on the computer.
As a thief, I am really amazed at his level of calmness. However, as a thief, I can only let others rub me round and flatten me because I am as soft as a persimmon even when I make a sound.
For anger, all I can do is use my fist in my imagination to smash his pious face to pieces, and I won't even give him a chance to beg for mercy.
But that was just in my imagination, in reality I was angry, and the only way I could express my anger was to ask, "Are you looking at my picture, what the hell are you trying to do?"
"Do nothing."
As if to prove that he really didn't do anything, while defending, Allen had already pushed his chair away and walked towards me.He stopped by the sofa and looked down at me.
I glared at him too.
"Do you still remember what happened?" Seeing that I didn't answer, he simply bent down and put his face close. He looked at my face and said, "I knocked on the door and you didn't answer. When I came in, I saw you lie on the floor."
I turned my eyes away from him, guilty, but had to puff up my chest and lie: "I'm just catching up on sleep. There's no need to make a fuss.
"Catch up on sleep? Holding a water cup to catch up on sleep? When did you have this habit?"
Allen reached out to touch my head, but I dodged it. His face suddenly sank, and he asked me, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't you know everything? Cold, fever..." Feeling his hand pinch my chin suddenly, I turned my head angrily, stared at him, and cursed, "I ♡ Chen Lin , let go of your paws!"
But he tightened his fingers and sneered: "□□? Can you do it?"
