It was only nine o'clock after the end of the day's training with the team, and it was still early, and Li Ming returned home early. Turn on the computer to watch American dramas.

Suddenly, the hanging QQ rang, and a familiar surrender came into view.

"I'm sorry, dear, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you didn't reply, today my father took me on a blind date, the other party is a metrology from the county surveying and mapping bureau, a very good person, very honest and considerate, we are going to get married next month, I don't want you to feel cheated, so I will notify you." The inscription is "Yingzi who once loved you deeply." ”

Li Ming's heart was stunned, the past surfaced in his heart bit by bit, and those unbroken memories finally became a line.

How do I tell him? It's a question that lingers on my mind. He glanced at the time, it would be about 11 o'clock in the day. He dialed the familiar number.

"Dut...... "Long wait...... ......

"Hello." The voice struck me, yes, yes, the one that haunted me countless times.

"It's me."

There was a long silence on the other end of the line, "What's the matter?" ”

"Wow grass, isn't this Nima proper movie plot to ask me eagerly about my current situation? And then with a burning sense of longing. Li Ming's heart was broken.

"No, I just saw your message and asked about your situation."

"Message? I haven't contacted you in a long time. ”

Li Ming looked down at the time, November 26, 2011, it was really a year ago.

Strange, Li Ming is also confused, so why is it only prompted now? It was as if he was in two spaces for only four days, which made him scratch his head.

"You've suddenly disappeared from the world, without warning, I've tried all kinds of methods and couldn't find you, I'm sorry......" came a whimper on the other end of the phone.

"No, listen to me, I'm in the United States now, I'm ...... now"

"Oh, I'm a little busy right now, you can take care of yourself." Before Li Ming finished speaking, she seemed to be about to hang up the phone.

"No, Yingzi, listen to me, my ......" Li Ming tried very hard to organize the language, trying to tell him everything here, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly couldn't speak, a feeling of being choked by someone's throat.

"Whatever." Those three words hurt him deeply, and he knew that it was a despair that would have to be experienced before it would take to go through it. The boundless darkness buried deep in my heart grew like a tide.

In the flickering light, he could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbreak, and his soul was scattered all over the ground, and no one cared.

"What are you doing, why don't you come to eat yet. Which phone number, is it that muddy boy again? "There was an urging voice on the other side of the phone, it was a male voice, very familiar.

Li Ming remembered that he had heard this voice when he went to Yingzi's hometown, it was his father.

"Hey, Li Ming, you melon baby, listen to me, listen to me, don't come to pester our family Yingzi again. What are you doing, she is already married, so don't be entangled anymore, it's good to get together and disperse, as the old saying goes. He coughed twice and then continued, "If you do it again, I'll break your legs, and we'll call the police and accuse you of destroying other people's families!" The tone was very tough, thinking that Li Ming's reputation was not good before, at least it didn't leave a good impression on him.

Without waiting for Li Ming to refute, the other end hung up the phone heavily.

"Ho Nyima...... What's going on...... Just so unwelcome? It must have been scum before. With a long sigh, all the six years of love were in vain.

This sudden appearance made his brain short-circuit instantly, and the various tactics and running positions practiced during the day were almost forgotten.

On November 26, 2012, it was sunny and the mood was gray - he wrote this sentence in his diary.

Li Ming tossed and turned at home, and his heart ached faintly, so he put on his clothes, closed the door, took a bottle of beer and went out.

The apartment he rented was on the east side of the city, and he went out and continued east, wandering aimlessly. Sometimes he would pass by the homeless people, and he would linger and even have a conversation with them.

The city of Memphis is relatively tolerant, and before the Civil War, it was the largest slave trading market in the South, so there are more blacks here, and the city is also very vibrant.

Thirty kilometres further on is the Wolf Rive

He paused in front of a bridge, staring at the lights across the river.

He picked up the small pebbles on the ground and threw them out vigorously, venting loudly.

As he walked back, he passed a bar, paused, thought for a few seconds and entered.

It was a small bar, with only a few tables, but it was full of people, and he counted them, and there were about forty people.

He walked straight to the bar and said, "Give me the strongest drink, thank you." He patted his shoulder on the dirt that had just been left by the river.

"Okay, please wait." The bartender was a young black guy in his twenties, and he was very quick with his movements.

"Sir, your wine, hot rose, can forget all your troubles." The black guy said with a smile. Li Ming didn't answer, he drank it all when he picked it up.

Strong enough, strong enough, one bite down, the feeling of directly blocking the throat, don't burn it.

"Hey, Billy, bring me a glass of brandy." A crisp voice came. Li Ming followed the prestige, a black guy, couldn't see his face clearly, chubby, not tall. He was accompanied by a tall, thin Asian man, both in their mid-twenties.

"Alright, Daniel, you're a little late tonight." It seems that this guy is a regular customer here, and he is very familiar with the bartender.

"But isn't it, don't mention it, the cat next door ran to my yard to again, just after solving this, I'm going crazy with irritability." The fat guy laboriously sat on the stool next to Li Ming, patting the bar with his two hands rhythmically.

The thin man was quiet, and glanced at the bar, "Okay, old look." The bartender replied with a smile.

After a while, the wine of the two of them was ready, and the fat man took a sip of the wine glass, and fanned the air in front of him with his hand exaggeratedly, and his appearance was unbearable, like a Broadway clown.

Li Ming was also amused by his funny appearance, and his mood recovered a little.

The fat guy just met his eyes when he turned his head, he smacked his lips and turned his head, and after a few seconds, he suddenly stepped forward, "Hey, buddy, are you Lee??" Is that you? Lee??”

Li Ming smiled and nodded.

“Oh,ma

，u

believable!!” He kept shaking his head and stretched out his right hand to high-five Li Ming excitedly. His cry also attracted onlookers from the crowd.

"Oh, it's really Lee, oh my god, I can't believe it, Lee, do you live here too?" On the other side, someone also recognized Li Minglai, and everyone quickly approached him, talking nonsense, and surrounded him in the center.

"My name is Daniel, his name is Wang Ping, we are both sophomores in Memphis, and we all watched your game yesterday — on the computer in your apartment......" the fat man gushed, like a machine gun.

"You're so handsome with that ball, I'm not talking about the final kill, I'm talking about your defense against Blake G

iffi

That shot, it's so explosive, how did you do it, I think your head was almost hitting the rebound, oh my God, how did you do it. A white man staggered in front of him with a wine bottle.

"yes, yes, how can you jump so high, what college did you go to before, why haven't I seen you before, if we had you in Memphis, we would have been able to beat the Kentucky Wildcats that year." Another, slightly older black woman chimed in.

Li Ming was at a loss, just smiled slightly, kept letting the bartender refill the glass, and drank to himself.

"Alright, alright, let's give our big hero a little space, he's too tired and needs to relieve his fatigue." The fat guy yelled at the crowd, and everyone shook their heads and dispersed.
