Chapter 167: Drunkenness

A cool breeze blew from nowhere, accompanied by elegant soft music, heralding the official start of tonight's banquet.

I hid in the middle of the crowd, silently watching Ling Kai and the girl walk into the garden hand in hand, many people quickly surrounded them to make out with them, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, smiling, I could see that the girl's status was not low, and Ling Kai was also very compatible.

A feeling of discomfort welled up in my heart, and my chest was swollen, and it would burst at any moment.

I sat back in the corner, feeling dull and uncomfortable, so I reached out and poured a full glass of red wine, and poured most of it with my neck back.

The cold liquid slowly slid into the stomach cavity, slightly extinguishing a few traces of fire, I raised my head and looked at the crowd of people in front of me who were swarming around the rostrum, men and women, young and old, all dressed in a dignified and decent, jeweled atmosphere, but only incompatible with me.

It turns out that no matter how I dress, I still can't fit into this circle because I don't naturally fit here.

With a self-deprecating smile, I drank the remaining red wine in the cup, and I didn't hear what the birthday star said in front of the microphone on the rostrum, and gradually there was a neat applause, mixed with the thumping sound of champagne opening, and the sound of water pouring into the glass tower one after another, but it had nothing to do with me, and I felt that I was the only one tonight It was superfluous.

I don't know how long it took, my face was a little hot, my back exposed in the wind began to be cold for no reason, I looked down and saw a layer of fine goosebumps on my arms, and I realized that the wind was still a little cool tonight, but why was my heart burning and ready to erupt at any time.

But my mind was still clearly aware that if I continued to blow like this, I would definitely catch a cold.

So, I stood up, thinking about whether to sneak away without saying goodbye or find Wu Yue to ask him for leave to go home, but I didn't know that I drank a little too much, my brain suddenly dizzy, my feet slipped, and my body fell backwards uncontrollably.

The atrium shrank, and the thought that came out of my mind was just "don't be seen, otherwise it will be too embarrassing", but fortunately I didn't really fall, and I didn't really fall down, and I reached out of nowhere to hold my arm in time, and with the help of his strength, I was able to stabilize my body and not really make cordial contact with the ground.

I finally let go of my hanging heart, and shook my head vigorously, trying to shake off the dizziness that was bothering my brain, but it didn't work, and the rapid upsurge of alcohol became more and more rapid, so that my vision began to blur, I turned my head slightly, and showed a gentle smile to the "good Samaritan" next to me, and when I was about to say "thank you", the smile froze on my face.

Although everything in front of me seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and I couldn't see it clearly, I still recognized him as Ling Kai immediately, and finally pressed down with red wine, I shook off his hand hard, grabbed the handbag on the table and hurried towards the door of the villa, but the wine was strong at the moment, and my steps were becoming more and more vain, and there was no way to walk faster.

Behind him, Ling Kai seemed to be stunned for a moment before he reacted, and he quickly caught up with me and grabbed my arm again.

"What are you pulling me for, Miss Ding is your dance partner tonight, isn't it?" I glanced at him and said angrily.

He narrowed his eyes, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his expression seemed to be a little happy.

Seeing his expression, I became more and more angry, and my voice unconsciously raised, "Is it so funny to write on my face?" Did you do it on purpose? You knew I had to come to this dance party because of my work, but you promised to be someone else's dance partner, or you promised her to attend this party from the beginning, but you didn't expect me to come too, didn't you? ”

As soon as the words came out, I realized what a stupid thing I had done, originally because of Ling Kai's brilliance, many eyes had always followed him, and between pulling with me, it attracted a lot of gossip crowds, plus I unconsciously expanded my voice because of anger, I felt that all eyes suddenly fell on us.

Two-thirds of these eyes were envy, jealousy and hatred, I was like a thorn in my back, I couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, I pushed Ling Kai away with all my strength, and ran away.

It's a pity that I forgot that I wasn't wearing flat shoes today, and I hated the sky-high heel and accidentally broke it, so my body fell forward uncontrollably, which is really a disaster! In a panic, my face changed drastically, and I wished that I would immediately become transparent.

The corner of his eyes flashed, someone quickly blocked in front of me, stretched out his arms to hold me hard, the breath on his body was warm and pleasant, the faint smell of cologne penetrated the tip of my nose, I suddenly remembered that he was Wu Yue, my dance partner tonight, and I did such a humiliating thing, he must be angry, right?

I was annoyed and quietly looked up at him, although he was holding me with both hands, his eyes did not look at me, but crossed my head and landed on Ling Kai, who was three steps behind me.

From his pitch-black pupils, I saw that Ling Kai's expression was also a little stiff, and the light emitted by the red lantern temporarily erected in the garden fell right on his face, revealing a strange color, which made me suddenly shiver.

"Mr. Wu, what's wrong? Can I help you? Behind Wu Yue, the voice of the host Mr. Huang came, I was stunned, and quickly broke free of Wu Yue's hands and stood up straight, blushing a face, and unnaturally stroked the hair that was blown by the wind around my ears.

A white figure suddenly flashed from behind Mr. Huang, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Ling Kai's arm, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Akai, what's wrong?" Are you okay? Why is your face so ugly? ”

The affectionate title of "Akai" made me look up unconsciously, and my eyes fell on the face of Miss Ding in a white gauze skirt, with undisguised concern and attachment, in front of everyone's eyes, Ling Kai did not push her away, but smiled at her and replied, "I'm fine." I seemed to have a sharp needle pricked in my heart, and I couldn't pay any attention to Wu Yue's emotions, so I quietly took two steps back, took off my high heels and carried them in my hands while people were unprepared, and ran away.

Running out of Mr. Huang's garden in one breath, the music in my ears gradually faded away, I let out a long breath, stopped running and looked up at the boundless sky.

The moon and stars were dark in the dark sky, and the stars in the sky indicated that tomorrow would be another sunny day, but my mood was extremely gloomy.

Throwing away those heels, I walked barefoot on the icy concrete road, letting the evening breeze blow through and trying to blow away the dizziness in my head.

But obviously he is very conscious, but the sequelae of drunkenness still can't get rid of.

As the dizziness in my brain became more and more intense, my steps became more and more vain, and I felt that the world was spinning, when I heard the sound of a horn around me.

Slowly turning around, I looked at the royal blue sedan parked beside me, the brown window rolled down to reveal Chu Junxi's face, and before I could be surprised, I heard him ask me, "Yun Ya, why are you here?" ”
