Chapter 47

The hand suddenly fell to nothing, and the remaining warmth of the skin barely remained.Zhou Yecheng's breathing was stagnant for a moment, and when he looked at Tao Liyang again, the blurred look in his eyes had completely disappeared.

"Oh." They looked at each other for a few seconds, Zhou Yecheng twirled his fingertips, "So I'm drunk."

He smiled inexplicably and continued to drink.

"Stop drinking." Tao Liyang took the cup in his hand, "I'll take you to find a place to sleep first, after you rest, think about how to deal with your dad..."

Zhou Yecheng sneered, and shook off his hand: "Tao Liyang, look at you, you are always like this. Don't be a good person, it's easy to be misunderstood." He tilted his body and leaned on the sofa cushion, "It's okay. You let's go."

Before Tao Liyang could speak, he heard Zhou Yecheng repeat again: "You go."

His tone was not firm, leaving plenty of room for maneuver.However, Tao Liyang hesitated for a moment, straightened his clothes, took the coat beside him, got up and left.

"Hey, Li Yang, are you leaving?" Someone came to tease him when he was drunk.Someone also called Zhou Yecheng, saying that he hadn't had enough to drink, so why did he let him go.Tao Liyang ignored everything.

When he reached the door, he looked back at Zhou Yecheng.In just a few tens of seconds, a young boy sat down beside Zhou Yecheng, who seemed to be a newly signed artist of a certain company, pouring wine eagerly.Looks warm, trying to strike up a conversation.

Zhou Yecheng responded nonchalantly, and didn't look at Tao Liyang, as if he didn't care.Tao Liyang sighed secretly, went out and closed the door.

But at the moment when the door was closed, amidst the noise, he still heard the sound of the wine glass smashing on the ground.It is also conceivable that the residual wine spilled on the carpet must be a messy scene.

Tao Liyang went downstairs to find the boss to pay the bill, and told him how much consumption was left in this box tonight, and he would also charge it to his own account.

After exiting the bar gate and heading to the parking lot, I remembered that I was drunk and couldn't drive.While standing on the side of the road waiting for the valet driver to come over, a drunk knocked on him deliriously, and was pulled away by his companion behind him.The companion was not so sober either, the two of them hooked their shoulders and went into another bar.

The whole street is like this, everyone is dreaming and dying, some people are sober and sinking, and some are sinking and sober.Tao Liyang didn't know which category he belonged to, nor did he know Zhou Yecheng.I just recalled Zhou Yecheng's last look at him, how much apology.

But he is not a Bodhisattva, he is still waiting for others to cross himself, how can he dare to cross others?

Tao Liyang became a little irritable.He figured he might need a little more alcohol.Call and tell the valet not to come.Turn around and enter the nearest Qing Bar.

He found a secluded place and sat down.He bluntly rejected all the accosting and probing gazes, and only immersed himself in drinking.I thought about many things over and over, thinking about Zhou Yecheng and myself, but in the end I found that Xu Yunqing was the one who thought the most.

I drink too much without knowing it, or it may be intentional.He didn't eat, and drank all the spirits. When he noticed the stomachache, a thin layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Tao Liyang took a deep breath, and tried to relieve his stomach for a while with one hand, but the pain became worse.On his own, he might not be able to walk out of this street with dignity today.As a last resort, Tao Liyang took out the phone from his pocket. He didn't want to find Xu Yunqing, but when he saw the top name, his fingers stopped unconsciously for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

Pity and forbearance are neither love.Xu Yunqing is a kind-hearted Bodhisattva, but he is petty and stubborn, so he doesn't want this kind of crossing method.

Finally, he dialed Tang Ran's number: "Is it convenient? Come and pick me up."

In fact, my stomach hurts very badly, and I feel drunk.After reluctantly giving an address, Tang Ran couldn't hear how he replied.For a while, he wondered if he had dialed the phone. He was in a trance and felt less uncomfortable, so he simply opened another bottle of wine.This time I didn't drink a few sips, and I propped my hands on the edge of the table, and unconsciously lost consciousness.I can't tell if I'm drunk or in pain.

"Liyang? Tao Liyang?"

He vaguely heard a voice calling himself, opened his eyes, and saw Tang Ran standing beside him, bending over to look at him.

"Coming?" Tao Liyang pulled the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Ran frowned, "Drink like this?"

Tao Liyang thought for a while, pulled his clothes, motioned Tang Ran to come closer, and lowered his voice: "I'm taking drugs." He couldn't help laughing.

"It looks like it to me." Tang Ran didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he stretched out his hand to give him a hand, "Can I go?"

Tao Liyang nodded, and with the strength of his arm, he staggered once he stood up, and quickly suppressed his stomach.

"Stomach pain?" Tang Ran frowned even deeper, and he didn't need to answer this time.With a little more strength in his hands, he was half hugged and half supported, and brought him to the car.

After driving for a certain distance, Tao Liyang felt a little better in his stomach after drinking half a cup of warm water.Tang Ran was worried that he was uncomfortable, so he didn't dare to turn on the heater, and left a gap in the car window.

Tao Liyang looked out of the window in a daze, the street lights and shadows were changing alternately, like dreams that were constantly being born and shattered.After turning a corner through the tunnel, he realized dully that this was the direction to the hospital.

"I'm not going to the hospital." He turned his head and said to Tang Ran. He was unconscious and his voice was vague, "I'm going to the hospital, so I won't call you. Just call 120..."

Tang Ran cut off his words, "Since you called me, it's up to you whether you go to the hospital or not."

So I went anyway.An old doctor was on duty.Seeing that his face was pale from the pain and smelled of alcohol, he taught the young people not to drink so much alcohol, and opened two bottles of omeprazole neatly.

"Tang Ran, you go back first."

It was already very late, and under the pale lights of the emergency room, Tang Ran also looked a little tired, Tao Liyang felt a little bit sorry, "I'm sorry for calling you out in the middle of the night, I'm afraid Jiang Ning will call and scold me Yes. I finish lifting the water here, just take a taxi and go back.”

"Don't pretend to be polite, it's not the first time to clean up the mess for you." Tang Ran stood opposite him and sent a message without looking up, "Jiang Ning is not at home, and went to the film and television base. It will be next week to settle the score with you , don't worry."

Tao Liyang laughed a little when he heard him say this: "I remember he just finished his youth? He joined the group again so soon?"

"I have a few shots to make up, I went there yesterday." Tang Ran flicked his phone at him, "Just after the show, I said I'm going to eat now... By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Tao Liyang thought to himself that he was really a snake, so he would be sure when he asked.There was only a second of hesitation on the face, and Tang Ran saw it: "How dare you drink such strong wine on an empty stomach? Your stomachache is worth it."

Tao Liyang was wronged and didn't answer.Tang Ran sighed for a while: "Why bother you? You made yourself so embarrassed."

This tone sounds like he knows something, but he is not sure.After all, the last time Tao Liyang called Tang Ran late at night and asked him to deal with Xu Yunqing and Li Shuang being photographed, it was enough for him to say this.

Tao Liyang couldn't help but look up at him, but Tang Ran didn't say anything else.Instead, ask him what he would like to eat now.After hearing from Tao Liyang that everything was fine, he ordered raw porridge according to his usual taste.

Before the porridge was delivered, Tao Liyang fell asleep again.Halfway through, he was woken up by Tang Ran in a daze, drank the porridge, and went back to sleep.When I woke up, I saw morning stars in the sky.

"What time is it?" He rubbed his eyes.

"After six o'clock." Tang Ran didn't know if she slept last night, she stood up from the sofa next to her, pinched her shoulders and turned her neck, "Will you sleep longer?"

Tao Liyang shook his head: "The disinfectant water in the hospital smells too strong, we'd better go back."

"Okay." Tang Ran said, "It just so happens that I have to go to the company early."

"What's up in the morning?"

"There is a meeting. But it's still early, I have time to send you off... Well, don't push it. It's time to go, let's go."

Tang Ran said he was busy, so he didn't forget to push him to have breakfast on the way.When he was about to reach the community, Tao Liyang suddenly saw a car passing by with its back, which looked like Xu Yunqing's.He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but the speed of the car was too fast, and he didn't see the license plate clearly, and he suspected that he might have read it wrong.He simply raised his hand to cover his eyes, and forced himself to look away from the rearview mirror.

"Then I'll go." Tang Ran stopped the car in front of the unit building, thought for a while and said, "These two times I saw you, I always have to go to the hospital. Anyway, your body belongs to you, and we are not universities. It's time to be a brat, and now you are like this..."

"Okay, okay. Your tone of voice is the same as my dad's."

Tang Ran said seriously: "Then I have to ask Jiang Ning if he wants such a worry-free son like you."

After finishing speaking, both of them laughed. Tang Ran stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I won't say more. Call me if you have anything to do. Don't drink alone."

"You don't think I'm annoying?"

Tang Ran smiled: "It's so annoying."

Tao Liyang got out of the car and watched Tang Ran drive away.Fine dust was flying in the air, and the car he saw on the road just now appeared in front of his eyes.

Tao Liyang knew that it was very unlikely that it was Xu Yunqing. What was Xu Yunqing doing here?It was always his wishful thinking between them.Just like now, I know it won't be, but I can't help but fantasize about it.

Tao Liyang couldn't help but bowed his head and smiled wryly, remembering that there were still a lot of Xu Yunqing's things at home.Xu Yunqing didn't take it away, and he didn't clean it up after so long.He raised his head and glanced at the location of the high balcony, suddenly he didn't want to and didn't dare to go up.

This idea quickly swelled up, making Tao Liyang a little uncomfortable.He hesitated for a moment and called Tang Ran again: "You haven't left the community yet...I don't really want to go back."

Tang Ran didn't look surprised, thought for a while and said, "Alright, I don't worry about you staying by yourself when you look like this. Then I'll come back to pick you up, and you go to Yaoxing with me? Just stay where I am for a few days."

"Not at all." Tao Liyang cheered up and smiled, "My car is still parked by the bar, and it's just on the way to Yaoxing. You send me to pick up the car, and I can go to your house by myself."

Tang Ran responded, and while speaking, the car had already returned: "Do you want to go up and pack some luggage?"

Tao Liyang didn't know how to explain it, so he just said, "I don't want to go up."

Tang Ran looked at him a little strangely now, but still nodded happily, "Then let's go." Then he opened the car door.

"Do you have anything to ask me?" Tao Liyang put on his seat belt and looked at Tang Ran's calm profile.

Tang Ran put his hands on the steering wheel: "Do you want to talk?"

Tao Liyang shook his head.

Tang Ran smiled, turned on the turn signal, and changed to the left lane: "Then there will be no more."
