Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gary's Warm, Awkward Misunderstanding
Alcohol is a love-hate thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It doesn't taste goodβat least that's what Li Yiming thinks, but it does make it a way to forget the more upsetting things.
Li Yiming has long forgotten when the last time he drank so much.
Maybe it was the night he finally ended his wandering career and got his first official NBA contract, or the night he held the Newcomer of the Season trophy, or at the Bulls' championship celebration banquet, Li Yiming really didn't remember it very lightly, he only felt dizzy this time than any other time, conscious but really couldn't even control his body, and the whole person seemed to be floating on the clouds.
For a moment, he suddenly realized that he and Gary were drunk, and when he turned around, there were empty wine bottles around him, beer, soju, and even a lot of liquor, and the food on the table was also eaten, but the chopsticks had long since disappeared, and he realized that his right hand had a greasy feeling, apparently replacing the function of chopsticks for a long time.
However, such moments were only for a moment, and more often than not, he and Gary were both delirious, talking nonsense to each other that they couldn't even understand logically, but they still stubbornly toasted and sent down glass after glass of wine.
As a top athlete, his physical fitness is much better, which makes him, although he also drinks a lot, at least he finally manages to force himself to wake up before his consciousness is interrupted.
But the sequelae of drunkenness also struck early, after Li Yiming's stomach was turned upside down, especially the camps of these alcohols are not the same, while they are doing evil together, they also want you to go back and forth to war, even making his brain dizzy, and the feeling of swelling and pain is too clear, but people would rather fall asleep.
Li Yiming knew that the reason why he reacted a little strongly was because he hadn't touched alcohol for too long, and it was not easy for him not to fall asleep under the impact of such a large amount of irritating liquid.
He quickly stood up before the sleepiness hit, although he still felt a little lightheaded, but at least he firmly supported the sides of the table to prevent him from falling, and his mind was spinning again, and he felt a little nauseous with a churning in his stomach, so he hurriedly staggered forward, struggled to open the door of the private room, and held on to the wall step by step but was very eager to rush towards the bathroom.
Fortunately, before his whole body was like a dilapidated water bag, he poured out all the contents in his stomach in one go, and he still rushed to the destination, so he was not too embarrassed.
After vomiting, he suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart, and washed his face hard in the sink, and Li Yiming finally came to his senses.
After carefully sorting out in the mirror and making sure that there was no vomit on his body, he walked out of the bathroom and silently ran to the front desk to check out.
"Gary.xi had already paid for the room in advance when she booked it."
Li Yiming was about to take out the card wallet, but when he heard the waiter at the cashier say this, he smiled dumbly, looked up at the wall clock behind her, and the time had already pointed to two o'clock in the morning.
"Can you call a taxi for me, I'm not convenient."
"It's Gary.xi......."
"Yes." Before the waiter finished speaking, Li Yiming nodded helplessly, "My alcohol consumption is quite poor, I didn't expect to take care of others for a day." β
There was no need for the help of the waiters, and after the taxi arrived, Li Yiming carried Gary into the car alone, which was difficult for him.
Only then did he remember that he didn't know the specific location of his house, Li Yiming turned around in his mind, turned on his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Yiming? Is there anything wrong with this late hour? β
In an instant, the phone was connected, and there was a mature and gentle female voice on the other end of the phone.
"That's right, Sister Zhixiao, Brother Gary and I went out for dinner, and the drinking was a little too high, so he is now completely unconscious, and I am on my way home to send him home, and I want to ask you the address of his house."
"Ah, what are you calling me for this kind of thing?" She only complained a sentence, and without waiting for an answer, she cut the topic to herself, and asked with concern, "Have you all drunk?" Then you still dare to drive?! β
"No, I called a taxi!" Li Yiming hurriedly said.
"It's almost ......." Song Zhixiao told Li Yiming the address, "After getting out of the car, you carry him into the house first, Building F 1612, and the combination lock is 0815." β
"0815......" Li Yiming repeated in a low voice, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is there any special significance?" β
"My birthday."
"......" Li Yiming felt as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
In less than ten minutes, Li Yiming got out of the car with Gary on his back, and followed Song Zhixiao's instructions to find the community where Gary's house was located, but fortunately, the doorman recognized Li Yiming and the owner Gary, so he let him go.
Because it was late at night, the temperature was a little low, and under the cold wind, Gary regained a little consciousness, but he still moved incoherently, not at ease, Li Yiming was not polite, and carried him directly on his shoulder, this guy suddenly couldn't move.
It took a lot of effort to carry Gary back to his house, and Li Yiming was hesitating whether to get some decanting soup or something for him to drink, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Song Zhixiao hurriedly arrived, his chest rose and fell, obviously trotting over the whole time.
"Sister Zhixiao, why are you here......"
"It's not that I'm worried about you." Song Zhi's face flushed, and he didn't know if it was caused by exercise or embarrassment, "I'll make you sobering soup, Yiming, you can sit and rest, and it will be fine soon." β
Li Yiming smiled and waved his hand, "No need, I'm relieved if you come, I'll go back first, Brother Gary, please...... Hi. Li Yiming scratched the back of his head, "What am I talking about, you are a family, what else do I want." β
"Ah, what nonsense, what a family." Song Jihyo hurriedly defended, but he knew that there was no convincing power, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen and prepared to make soup for Gary to decant up.
"Then I'll go first, hard work, Sister Zhixiao."
"You've drunk a lot of it, why don't you stay here for the night?" Song Ji-hyo poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Not really." Li Yiming smiled.
"Are you sure you don't want to drink the decanting soup?"
"Isn't that what I'm doing?"
"Okay." Song Zhixiao gave up, "Make a call when you get home." β
"Uh-huh." Li Yiming raised his hand, "Sister Zhixiao is done, you should rest early." β
"It's not all you, I'm already asleep." The voice of complaining came, but Li Yiming smiled ambiguously and closed the door gently.
Downstairs, out of the community, Li Yiming came out only to find that the community is next to the Han River, unconsciously slowly pacing to the riverside of the road, the wind is very strong, the warm house for a long time in a little confused brain and sober, looking at the bridge connecting the river, looking at the lights that shine on the whole city, looking at the slightly rippling river, Li Yiming inhales and exhales, controlling the breathing rhythm and the tide of the entire Han River.
The night was very deep, there were not too many vehicles on the highway close to the riverside path, and the sound of the engine sounding from time to time, the whistling sound of the air flow brought by them, and the sound of the wind stroking across the sea, formed the pulse of the city at the moment in Li Yiming's eyes.
The whole environment is not quiet, but Li Yiming's heart is peaceful.
He only walked for a while, then walked to the riverside, his hands on the protective railing, his brain was very clear, but his eyelids felt very heavy, and after disappearing, a period of sleepiness came up again, and after a little struggle, Li Yiming couldn't help but close his eyes.
This is not a big deal, the bad thing is that Li Yiming's is too high, and the guardrail is the size of a normal person, so when Li Yiming's head sinks, the entire upper body will be probed into the river.
Crumbling, but Li Yiming, who was a little dizzy, didn't realize that the two hands supported on the guardrail could not play any role, and he saw that the whole person was about to fall into the river......
"Hey, what are you doing!?" An urgent voice sounded, and when Li Yiming turned around, his waist was hugged tightly, and he realized his situation, so he hurriedly grabbed the railing.
Recovering his center of gravity, Li Yiming obviously felt that the person holding him had obviously breathed a sigh of relief, because he hugged it very tightly, and even felt that the place where his waist was a little higher sensitively touched two soft balls, and his old face blushed subconsciously.
hurriedly wanted to struggle, but was mistaken by the other party, and suddenly hugged it tighter.
"Sir, if you want to open up, can you sit down and talk about something, you can't solve any problems by escaping."
"No, can you let it go first?"
"Come with me, don't lean on the guardrail, I'll let go right away."
Li Yiming lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw that although the two arms holding him had strength, they were not strong, and the hands exposed outside the dark sweatshirt were also very slender, and the white appearance was obviously a woman's hands.
"I don't want to commit suicide...... Realizing that he was misunderstood, Li Yiming hurriedly raised his hand and let the other party hold him away from the guardrail, and even followed backwards with the other party's movements.
Who would have thought that there was a problem with these backward steps, the other party obviously didn't expect Li Yiming to be so cooperative, so he pulled very hard, and Li Yiming gave up resistance and took a few steps backwards, and the two suddenly lost their center of gravity together under the same direction.
Li Yiming secretly said that it was not good, there was a woman behind him, and if he fell to the ground with his weight, others who were treated as meat pads would definitely be injured.
At the last moment, it was too late to twist his body and roll to the side, Li Yiming had to kick hard under his feet, twisting his body in mid-air with good waist and abdominal strength, relying on his arm length, although he was obviously in front of the woman, he was on the ground with both hands first.
In such a situation, the lower body forcibly drew an arc to complete the back hand flip, Li Yiming was strong but his movements were very light, like a sensitive big cat in the middle of the night, and he spared both himself and the woman in the middle of the night.
His hands were still on the ground, and because he was in a hurry, he was only able to complete the action, so Li Yiming felt that his feet that were thrown to the ground were a little numb, and he didn't have time to get up for a while.
And the woman behind him was obviously stunned, closed her eyes and fell to the ground, her face was crumpled into a ball and silently waited for Li Yiming to fall on top of her, and when she saw that there was no follow-up for a long time, she opened her eyes in confusion.
Just in time, the four eyes are facing each other.
Li Yiming had to correct a fact.
It was not a woman who almost suffered because of him, but a girl.
Very beautiful girl.
