Yunding Ranch

Chapter 203
Lu Li sat up straight, only to feel a splitting headache, his head was in chaos, not to mention thinking, even breathing felt like it was going to burst.

When I was drinking, I didn't feel it, and I didn't seem to be drunk, but when I woke up, I felt that I had been beaten like a sandbag all night, and every muscle in my body was protesting—or, he Was really beaten?

"How much did you drink last night?" Song Lingyi's voice came over, Lu Li wanted to open his eyes, but found that even a little light would make his eyes sting, "Hey, drink this cup of honey lemonade, it can relieve a little headache. "Then Lu Li felt his right hand being stuffed into a cup, the mild temperature won't burn his hands, it feels very comfortable.

Lu Li took the cup, raised his head and drank it. The sweet and sour taste made his cold stomach feel a rush of heat, as if all the muscles in his body were stretched.

"How did you get back? I guess you don't remember?" Song Lingyi couldn't help but chuckled. Since childhood, Lu Li has been a child who knows how to control himself. Even if he goes out to play, he won't lose control completely.It was the first time Song Lingyi saw such a drunken unconscious situation like last night.

Lu Li rubbed his temples and thought about it seriously, "Uh... didn't I drive home by myself?" After he said it, he recalled it. He remembered walking back with Alice on the street, but he wanted to change his words. , but the reaction speed of the brain can't keep up.

"Fortunately, you still have a bit of civic awareness and didn't drive." Song Lingyi took the empty glass and wiped off a little bit of lemon stains from Lu Li's mouth, "Did you enjoy the party last night?"

"Hmm..." Lu Li's brain was a little slow to react now, after all, he had drunk too much.

In fact, it was already a miracle that he was able to persist until he returned home. Most people slept on the spot at the party venue. Sleeping in the bathroom was nothing but a trivial matter. Being in the middle of a bunch of naked/guy/***s and not remembering what happened yesterday is the real big deal.

"Happy." Lu Li nodded, but then he realized that his brain was dizzy, and even if he shook it, he felt that there was water shaking in it, "I won a game yesterday, beer pong, I hit every shot, and threw a total of I went in..." Lu Li couldn't remember how many rounds he had played, "Ten or twenty ping-pong balls, and he didn't miss a single one."

"Haha." Song Lingyi naturally didn't believe it. How could it be possible to hit a single shot? Lu Li was probably drunk and his memory was confused, but she didn't break it. "So powerful? It seems that you are still a bit athletic. Back then I sent you to learn table tennis."

Then, Lu Li remembered the kiss from last night.By the way, he kissed Alice.The memory is a bit fragmented, but clear enough, but he can't remember how everything happened.Sure enough, under the impetus of alcohol, people will make many bold and unexpected moves.But that's the essence of the party anyway, isn't it?
Lu Li couldn't help laughing, but he didn't know if it was because of the memory of last night or because of Song Lingyi's joke.

"Go take a bath first. I've already put water for you. You smell of alcohol and sweat all over your body. Then eat something. You should be starving now." Song Lingyi said considerately, "You can stand on your own. Up? Shall I escort you to the bathroom?"

Now Lu Li finally woke up, "Mom, I might be naked now!" In fact, Lu Li didn't remember if he took off his clothes last night, but the touch of his skin now seemed to be naked.

Seeing her son's embarrassment, Song Lingyi laughed sullenly, "Then go take a bath quickly, and I'll come in to clean up the room later." After speaking, Song Lingyi left the room with the cup in her hand, and slammed the door of the room considerately. closed.

Lu Li heaved a long sigh of relief, but then he heard Song Lingyi's voice from outside the door, "Well, my son is awake, but he's shy."

"Oh!" Lu Li just wanted to bury himself in the vomit and never wake up.

Lu Li stumbled into the bathroom, took a bath, rearranged himself, and finally regained consciousness.Opening the window of the bathroom, the cold air rushed in, and I let out a long breath in my chest. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going under the street, and the lazy afternoon sun, I could hardly feel too much temperature , another typical New York afternoon.

Putting on a set of clean clothes, the mess in the room has been cleaned up. If it weren't for the smell of vomit mixed with alcohol still floating in the air, people could hardly feel the mess of last night.

Pushing open the door of the room and coming to the hall, he immediately saw Lu Huaijin sitting on the sofa reading a book, "Dad." Lu Li greeted with a smile, a little embarrassed.During his four years in college, he did not attend many parties, but there were also quite a few, but such embarrassing situations were few and far between. Unexpectedly, he was caught by his parents.

Lu Huaijin didn't speak, didn't look up, and still looked at the book in silence, which made Lu Li a little embarrassed, and walked towards the kitchen lightly, and then heard Lu Huaijin's steady voice, "Go and eat something , After playing all night, you must be starving."

That warm voice didn't blame, but cared more.This made Lu Li nod with a smile, "Yes. I know."

Walking into the kitchen, I saw Song Lingyi's busy voice, heard footsteps, and turned my head, "I simply cooked a porridge, with a green vegetable, and a little meat floss. You should eat something light first, to pad your stomach, don't eat it. It’s too greasy. Drink a cup of strong tea later and eat a little more for dinner.”

Lu Li couldn't help but chuckled, "Mom, you will spoil me. After you return to China, my life on the ranch will become extremely miserable." Pulling out the chair, he sat down, "Or, Why don't you just go back?"

Song Lingyi chuckled lightly, "The skills honed in four years of college life returned to pre-liberation in just two months?"

Lu Li picked up the spoon and began to prepare the porridge—the real porridge, the rice grains looked rather pitiful, "People always say that it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal." After taking a sip, the temperature was moderate, The last bit of tension in the stomach also relaxed, "Is it true that you didn't go out today? That's really a pity. How about it, where are you going to play later?"

"You don't seem to be in good shape today, so you should rest at home." Song Lingyi sat down opposite Lu Li, "Anyway, there are many interesting things in the neighborhood near home, so it's worth taking a stroll."

"Don't worry about me. After sleeping, I'm fine now. Youth is capital, isn't it?" Lu Li waved his hand and said without hesitation, "Otherwise, I'll take you to Wall Street. You can take a look at the copper bull, and you can also see how those rich people manipulate the stock market, and then go to Central Park to sit and relax, and at night we go to the Empire State Building to see the night view, what do you think?"

Crossing Lu Li's shoulder, Song Lingyi looked back at Lu Huaijin, "You just got drunk yesterday, slept until you just woke up, and then went out to run around? I think you are just tossing around."

Having said that, Lu Li could still hear Song Lingyi's anticipation and excitement, "Mom, I've slept for most of the day, and now I need to relax and breathe some fresh air. Trust me."

Song Lingyi pondered for a moment, then Lu Huaijin walked over, "Let's go out then. Wall Street and Central Park, these are not places that require physical strength, you can relax." Lu Huaijin cast his eyes on Lu Li, with a trace of concern in his eyes, Lu Li spread his hands, looking calm, and then the father and son looked at Song Lingyi together.

Under the gaze, Song Lingyi showed a big smile, "Okay, okay, then we are going to go out for a stroll."

"Yeah!" Lu Li raised his arms and cheered, Song Lingyi had to put on a serious face, "Hurry up, finish the porridge quickly. Like a child, you have to be supervised when you eat."

In the next few days, Lu Li and Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin began to tour the city of New York.

New York is a wonderful city, like a kaleidoscope, as long as you know the right way, you can browse all phenomena of the world here, like a miniature United Nations; but if you use the wrong way, it is a lost and confusing place Land, can't find the exit, and can't find the bright spot.

Watch a classic theater performance on Broadway and experience the unique and retro cultural heritage; lose yourself in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the beauty of modern art is confusing and surprising; feel the unique immigrant culture in Chinatown, which is The city's oldest and purest peddler hangout; world-class food in Little Italy and, of course, a jazz bar where Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese linger...

On the side of the street lined with mulberry trees, find a coffee house, sit down and taste the leisure in the busy; in the shade of Central Park, with a checkered tablecloth and a picnic basket, come to the world's largest lingering in the streets of Brooklyn, where you can appreciate the not so original popular hip-hop street culture; of course, there is Rockefeller Plaza, where the New Year's countdown is held every year.

The most interesting experience is watching the live broadcast of "Today", the morning news program with the highest ratings in the United States on the side of the street; watching an NBA basketball game at Madison Square Garden, or participating in a concert Yes, feel the unique charm of live performances, surrounded by fanatical fanaticism.

Lu Li is undoubtedly a competent tour guide. He not only took Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi to appreciate the tourist attractions, but also left the turbulent crowd and entered the most living area of ​​the city, becoming a real New Yorker, savoring carefully. It is the wealth left to the city by history.

This is an amazing city, maybe loved, maybe hated, but absolutely unique.A short visit is not enough to appreciate its beauty.When they left, Lu Li believed that Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi would come back again.
