Dou Chao's mouth is too mean, and he won't mention anything. The last thing I want to hear right now is Du Ting's name. But when he asked Luo Xiangdong, he had no intention of blocking it for me. After hesitating for a while, I had to reply jokingly: "In case Brother Dong's girlfriend comes back, I have no choice but to hide it."
Dou Chao didn't seem to expect that I would say that. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and said with a smile: "Hide it? You didn't say that you two are fine. Why are you hiding?"
I said: "Many things are believed by hearing and seeing by sight. I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly, so I might as well hide it. Anyway, everyone just knows what they are doing."
Dou Chao smiled and said, "Smart."
We were chatting in the private room, and soon the waiter came in with a tray to serve the food. Shen Zisong asked: "What kind of wine should you drink?"
Yang Hao said with a smile: "You have to have beer mixed with white when you get to this place." After that, he glanced at Luo Xiangdong and said: "Your territory, you have to accompany me today. The three of us will not be here tonight." Planning to drive back."
As soon as I heard this, I subconsciously looked at Luo Xiangdong, but when I saw his expression was as usual, I smiled and replied: "Drink, am I still afraid of you?"
They ordered the wine very fiercely, not by bottle, but by the number of dozen beers and the kilograms of liquor.
I couldn't refute Luo Xiangdong's face in person, so I secretly took out my phone and sent him a text message, saying: Brother Dong, you are still taking medicine and cannot drink.
Luo Xiangdong's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. He didn't have much reaction, but quickly replied: It's okay.
I was worried, so I sent another message, saying: Are you afraid of drug poisoning? Did the medicine you took today not allow you to drink alcohol
I usually hardly use punctuation when sending text messages, just spaces in the middle. But in order to scare Luo Xiangdong, I added an exclamation point after this text message.
After I finished sending it, I casually glanced at the face of Luo Xiangdong across from me with my peripheral vision. He lowered his gaze slightly and couldn't see his expression clearly, but judging from his reply, it seemed that he was hesitant.
I then sent another message: Just ask for it later and I will drink it for you.
Dou Chao and the others drove all the way from other cities. Regardless of whether they came to Luo Xiangdong specifically to play, they still had a good relationship. They wanted to drink, so Luo Xiangdong couldn't help but accompany them. All I can say is try my best to shield him, otherwise he would have to go to the hospital while taking medicine and drinking while he was sick.
After I sent the last message, I put my phone in my bag and didn't even check if Luo Xiangdong replied to me.
The food was served here very quickly. I invited Dou Chao, Shen Zisong and Yang Hao to eat, trying to cover up their desire for wine with delicious food.
But this trick didn't last long, because the three of them were determined to drink Luo Xiangdong down today, so it didn't take long for them to raise their glasses. I saw Luo Xiangdong also raised his glass, so I put down my chopsticks and picked up my wine glass.
Dou Chao was sitting on my right. When he saw this, he smiled and said, "Can you have a drink too?"
I deliberately smiled with pride on my face and replied loudly: "Not only can I drink a little, I am from Liangcheng, and our family can drink. I brewed it from a small wine vat."
Sure enough, when Dou Chao heard what I said, the expression on his face became elated, as if he wanted to compete with me.
Luo Xiangdong, who had been silent until now, suddenly said to Dou Chao: "You can do it. How can I drink with a woman? Besides, she just came out of the hospital recently and has gastroenteritis, so she can't drink."
Dou Chao didn't believe it. He curled his lips and said, "You are really good at protecting others. Zijin didn't say anything. Why are you joining in the fun? Don't you know if she can drink?"
I have to say that if Luo Xiangdong didn't mention the gastroenteritis, I would have forgotten about it.
Now Luo Xiangdong and I can be said to be inseparable brothers. We are two people who cannot drink, and we have to push one out. If I can only sacrifice one to protect the other, I hope I can protect Luo Xiangdong.
Later, Shen Zisong said with a smile: "We don't care about Zijin. She can drink if she wants. We won't force her. But Dongzi, you have nowhere to run. Don't forget that when you came to Haicheng last time, Chao and I almost gave up." You were carried out after drinking."
Dou Chao quickly added: "We haven't been able to relax for more than two and a half months since you left. The mere mention of wine makes us want to vomit."
I was listening from the sidelines and wanted to say something. Since you don’t want to drink so much, why bother to go head-on? Hey...
As a result, Luo Xiangdong was forced to Liangshan and had to drink. When I saw him fighting one against three, I couldn't see clearly. I would raise my glass to help him, but Luo Xiangdong wouldn't let me drink, and told me not to be too blind.
If he had said that to me in front of outsiders before, I would have been unhappy, but now I just feel distressed. He was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable drinking, and ended up drinking with others despite my cold. If he was healthy, I wouldn't worry about it, because he drinks well, but now...
I really want to buy some intoxicating drugs and put them in the cups of Dou Chao, Yang Hao and Shen Zisong, and then pour them down directly.
After three rounds of drinking, I was really worried that Luo Xiangdong couldn't bear it, so I suggested that instead of just drinking, everyone could play games and the loser would drink.
Fortunately, the three of them were all generous and nodded in agreement.
I took out my phone and downloaded the 'Who's the undercover' app, and then explained the rules of the game to Dou Chao and the others. This game has become a must-have skill for Luo Xiangdong and I when we go out to eat. Luo Xiangdong is also playing very well now. If nothing else, he can't drink much.
I worked really hard to stop him from drinking.
In the next two hours, five of us at the table played in full swing. It was a battle of wits and courage, and we tried every trick. In the past, when I got the card, I always wondered if I was an undercover agent. Now, when I get the card, I always look at Luo Xiangdong's expression. I'm worried about whether he is, and I want to protect him.
Under my cover, Luo Xiangdong basically drank two or three bottles of beer, but the price was that I was pointed out many times through self-exposure and deliberate inducement.
Shen Zisong and the others didn't let me drink, so I drank drinks. But the drink is also bloating and not as easy to swallow as wine.
Finally, when the dozens of beers by the wall and the bottles of liquor on the table were all gone, and the time passed midnight, Dou Chao, Shen Zisong and Yang Hao were satisfied and gave up.
A few of us walked out of the store together and walked to the other end of the alley.
On the way, Luo Xiangdong asked: "Where will you stay tonight?"
Yang Hao said: "We can just find a place to stay."
Luo Xiangdong said: "There is a place to stay upstairs in Ningguo Mansion across the street. You might as well live there."
Before Yang Hao could agree, I heard a sound of "vomit". I was startled and couldn't help but look back. It turned out that Dou Chao, who was walking behind, had vomited.
Shen Zisong stood by and patted him on the back, muttering something like he was embarrassed and vomited in front of me.
Dou Chao bent over, holding the wall with one hand, and seemed to say something, but I didn't hear it clearly.
Shen Zisong turned around and said, "Chao asked Zijin to go first. He was afraid of being embarrassed."
I raised the corners of my lips and almost laughed.
Luo Xiangdong said: "Let's go first."
As a result, Luo Xiangdong, Yang Hao and I left the alley first. Luo Xiangdong wanted to send Yang Hao to the hotel opposite, but Yang Hao said: "Why are you so polite to us? I'll wait for them here, and then we'll stay opposite. You can send Zijin back first, and we'll make an appointment tomorrow. ”
Luo Xiangdong stopped being polite when he heard this. After saying hello, he went with me to the street to stop the car.
I said, "I can just go back by myself. You should go home and rest quickly."
The taxi stopped in front of us. Luo Xiangdong opened the back door for me and said, "Get in."
I got into the back seat, he closed the door for me, and then got into the passenger seat.
He told the driver the location of the apartment where I lived, and he still wanted to take me home first.
Half full of wine and half full of drinks, sitting in the car, I felt like my whole stomach was shaking. Lowering the window, I suppressed the uncomfortable feeling and worried about what happened to Luo Xiangdong.
There was a red light ahead and the car stopped. I calmed down for a moment and asked, "Brother Dong, are you okay?"
Luo Xiangdong hummed: "It's okay."
He spoke so little, unlike usual, and probably felt uncomfortable again.
The car drove all the way back to the street where the high-rise apartment was located. I opened the car door and got out. I wanted to say hello to Luo Xiangdong and leave, but I didn't expect that Luo Xiangdong directly paid me and got out of the car.
I looked at him and said, "Don't you just leave?"
Luo Xiangdong looked calm and replied: "It's too late. I'll take you up first. There are plenty of cars."
My heart suddenly felt warm.
The taxi had already driven away, and I couldn't say anything else. Luo Xiangdong stood on my left, and we walked side by side towards the apartment door.
On the way, I suddenly remembered what I had promised Xu Lu before. I said I would ask for her today at the latest.
Thinking about it, I started to feel stressed again. I didn't know how to speak to Luo Xiangdong, or I was embarrassed to speak.
When I walked to the door of the apartment, I rummaged through my bag to find the key card. Because I had something on my mind, I didn't think about what I was doing, and I couldn't find the key card after rummaging for a long time.
When Luo Xiangdong saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "You didn't bring your room card key again, did you?"
I shook it for a moment and then said, "Oh, I brought it."
In fact, I had already touched the key card, but I was distracted and didn’t know what I was looking for.
I took out my room card and opened the apartment door. Luo Xiangdong stood beside me, stretched out his hand to support me, and told me to go in first.
I stepped inside, followed closely by him. After entering the elevator, I thought to myself that if I didn't say anything, I would have no chance. No matter what the outcome would be, I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, and said out loud: "Brother Dong, I have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Luo Xiangdong turned his head and looked at me, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Two seconds later, he opened his lips and asked aloud: "What's the matter?"
I bite the bullet and reply: "I have a friend in a company who wants to negotiate a deal with Luo. The other party's boss knows that we have a good relationship, so he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to rip off my friend. However, he promised that if the cooperation is successful, he can transfer my friend." Come to work in the city center. Actually, I know I shouldn’t mention this to you. I’ve been thinking about it for days and haven’t had the nerve to say it. You don’t have to take it to heart. Even if you don’t agree, it’s reasonable...”
I swear I should come clean about this.
