”Little Treasure, did Jia Da Fa find your company as well?” Chen Dalong pushed Tang Tianbao a little and asked.

Tang Tianbao recovered from his daze and hurriedly said, ”No, no, no …” His words sounded somewhat stiff. It was clear that Tang Tianbao's heart was no longer there. What he had said to Chen Dalong was merely a perfunctory reply.

”That's good. I'm just worried about that. Say, what if we run into a car?” Chen Dalong was finally relieved. He stretched his waist and pulled Tang Tianbao up from the sofa, saying, ”Let's go. I'll treat the brothers and I will have a good drink. I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway. By the way, are you busy this afternoon? ”

”Oh, I'm fine. I've been fine all day!”

”Then let's go. What are you still standing there for? I woke up late today and I didn't even have time for breakfast. I'm starving to death. ”

Tang Tianbao followed Chen Dalong. He didn't expect Chen Dalong to be in the ”Flying Bird” to mix with the wind and water. He had truly underestimated Chen Dalong. The current Chen Dalong was no longer the Chen Dalong of his childhood. From Chen Dalong's words just now, Tang Tianbao could even see that Chen Dalong was mature, steady, wise, and well-rounded. It was truly incomparable to the past. He had already been separated from Chen Dalong for several years. Although he had met Chen Dalong in Tidal City after taking part in the job, but in the previous few years, Chen Dalong would definitely have a lot of changes. He could no longer continue to look at Chen Dalong the way he had when he was a child.

Tang Tianbao's thoughts were wandering all the way to the time he was drinking. From his childhood to his school-days, to the chance meeting with Chen Dalong, to the two having coffee, and finally thinking about the two drinking together, that is, at this very moment.

When people are not in the mood, they tend to get drunk because they have lost track of the taste of the wine. That cup of emotionless white wine was like boiling water. No matter how one drank it, it felt light and tasteless, so he still wanted to drink it. In the end, he drank until his body and brain lost all feeling. Tang Tianbao was drinking in a kind of indescribable boredom, finally getting drunk and confused.

From the very beginning, Chen Dalong only felt that their brothers were straightforward together, so he had always accompanied Tang Tianbao and drank. In the end, as he drank, he also felt that he drank too much. When a person felt that he drank too much, he didn't drink too much. Chen Dalong's mind was still normal. He was no longer like Tang Tianbao, who was speaking nonsense. However, Chen Dalong's body was no longer in a good condition. He tried to stand up from his seat and walked to the other side. He wanted to help Tang Tianbao who was already lying on the table. He still wanted to send him home, but everything was just a dream. He could not do it, he had more than his wits about him, but he was not strong enough. Chen Dalong staggered as he stood there, and suddenly there were stars in front of his eyes. His ears buzzed as if there was a bee or a fly hovering around his ears. His head began to feel heavy, as if lead had been poured into it. His legs were like two piles of cotton, and his entire body became like noodles that had been thrown into a pot. He finally fell to the ground.

That afternoon, the two of them drank until the afternoon. Finally, when the waiter came in to clean up the room, he found two people. It was already ten in the evening. Chen Dalong had already crawled under the table, and the waiter only saw Tang Tianbao sleeping soundly. His sleeves were covered with scraps of grease, and in front of him were a poured goblet and two empty bottles. On the right was a half-smoked pack of cigarettes, the tabletop wet, and the cigarette butts soaked like leavened noodles. There were five cigarette butts in the ashtray, along with a little tea and two blackened pieces of tea. The tablecloth on the dining table was also shortened by Tang Tianbao. As it was a small single room, the door was closed. The smell of alcohol filled the air, accompanied by an indescribable smell. It was extremely unpleasant.

The waitress pinched her nose and walked step by step towards the drunk Tang Tianbao. As they walked, they said with extreme disgust, ”Sir, sir, are you drunk? ”Mister, wake up …”

No matter how the waiter ”ravaged” him and how he shouted, Tang Tianbao was like a dead pig. He did not move at all, as steady as Mt. Tai.

Helplessly, the waiter took out a mobile phone from Tang Tianbao's pocket and rummaged through the phone book. She found a phone number with the name ”Home” on it and dialed a number. The phone rang twice and the other answered.

”Hey, Little Treasure, what are you doing?” Duan Hong looked at the display and saw the words ”Little Treasure”.

”Hello! ”May I ask who you are with this phone?” the waiter asked.

When Duan Hong heard this, his entire body tensed up and his heart leaped into his throat.

”What's wrong? What happened? I'm his mother... What happened to Little Treasure? What happened to him? ” Duan Hong said in a flustered manner. He didn't have time to ask further.

”Oh, Auntie, don't worry. Well, this gentleman is drunk and he's in our hotel. I hope you can take him home. Do you remember our address... ” the waiter said slowly.

Duan Hong noted down the address of the restaurant, but she didn't know anything about Chaozhou. She couldn't tell which road or street was where. Although she had already walked downstairs, her eyes were completely black. She did not know anything and did not even know which direction to go. Duan Hong hesitated at the entrance of the district and asked a few residents of the district. However, they all expressed that they didn't know this restaurant, which was also the case in the huge Tidal City. For an outsider, finding a restaurant wasn't a difficult matter, but finding a specific restaurant wasn't an easy matter. Helpless, Duan Hong's mind recalled Yu Meng — that little girl who frequently came to his house and was almost inseparable from Little Treasure — she definitely knew where the restaurant was. Duan Hong hurried upstairs. He picked up the living room phone and called Yu Meng.

At this moment, Yu Meng was on a crowded bus. The phone was a little messy, so Duan Hong became even more anxious. She shouted into the microphone, ”Little Treasure is in trouble!”

This sentence had too much weight to it. It frightened Yu Meng. Yu Meng heard it clearly. This was what Auntie Duan Hong had said. In addition, she seemed to be shouting at the top of her lungs. She knew that she was crying out loud that something had happened to Little Treasure!

At this moment, the bus suddenly came to a screeching halt. Yu Meng's body fell forward, ah …

”Little Yu?” What's the matter with you? ” Duan Hong called out a few times, but still didn't get a reply. He could only hear grumbling from the phone, all sorts of things, and the sound of cursing.

Yu Meng's phone fell to the ground with a thud. She was also pushed by the person behind her, and lost her balance.
