C167 (2/2)
Tang Tianbao drank until he was extremely drunk. When he walked, his legs were like cotton, weak and powerless.
'Yu Meng- Yu... ' ”Dream …” Tang Tianbao chattered and shouted in pain and helplessness.
Love is such a disguise, a casual touch, it is broken. The person in question was physically and mentally exhausted, with wounds all over his body. Although Tang Tianbao was the one who rejected him, on the surface he seemed to grasp the initiative of love, but how could he not be a wounded person? In Duan Hong's eyes, he'd become an ungrateful, disloyal, and unfilial person if he couldn't make a single step forward. All of his diligent efforts from before had all gone down the drain. He was at a loss as to what to do. He drank and tried to numb his nerves with alcohol; he smoked and tried to numb his nerves with nicotine. But how long could this last? The sun set, and the moon rose. The stars disappeared, and the sun rose in the east. Once again, it was impossible for him to not be clear-headed. It was impossible for him to not feel pain. Perhaps this was fate. It was as if the heavens had intentionally arranged this. It was as if the heavens had sincerely made fun of him. If he couldn't avoid it, he wouldn't be able to escape. He could only accept it.
”Dalong, send me to the unit.” Tang Tianbao said to Chen Dalong with a face filled with the smell of alcohol.
”Why are you going to the unit?” ”You're so drunk, what's the point of going to work?” Chen said, ”I'll just take you home. You should get a good rest today, rest up, and don't think about those troublesome matters for the time being. You can go to work tomorrow. ”
Tang Tianbao felt a little dizzy. He couldn't even tell north, south, east, or west. He pointed in the direction of his home as he nagged Chen Dalong non-stop, ”Send me to the unit, send me to the unit …”
It was noon when Chen Dalong sent Tang Tianbao home. The blazing sun had arrived in summer. The two of us had spent the whole morning in the little shop, talking about Yu-Meng, but the problem had never been resolved.
Tang Tianbao got off the car as he stumbled and stumbled while shouting out Xie Min's name. Chen knew that Xie Min was the female boss of Tang Tianbao Corporation. As for the relationship between them, he did not know.
Under the shade of a tree in the district, a few people who were enjoying the cool air were waving their fan and discussing something. The sun was high in the sky and Tang Tianbao was sweating profusely.
”Everyone.” Where's the key? ” Chen Dalong helped Tang Tianbao up the stairs and said, ”Give it to me.”
Tang Tianbao laughed heartily as he pressed the doorbell. After a while, the security door opened.
Duan Hong stood at the doorway and looked at the drunk Tang Tianbao with an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
”What, what's wrong?” Duan Hong asked.
”Mom, are you home?” Tang Tianbao drunkenly asked, ”Why are you home?”
”Hello Auntie.” Little Treasure drank too much, I'll send him back. ” Chen Dalong finally understood and helped Tang Tianbao into the house.
”Why are you drinking so much?” Duan Hong stood at the side and muttered to himself.
Chen remembered the phone call he received in the small restaurant. He quickly helped Tang Tianbao to explain, ”He met a client today and drank with them. Let him sit down for a while. ”Then auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving.”
”Sit down a little longer.” Have some water, sorry to trouble you, but bring him back. ” Duan Hong said politely.
”You're welcome, Auntie. Little Treasure and I are good friends. Alright, Auntie, my company still has things to do, so I'll go back first. I won't be busy another day to come see you. ”
After sending Chen Dalong out of the door, Duan Hong did not forget to ask, ”Yu Meng, how is it now? Did she drink? ”
Chen Dalong thought about it. He also didn't know how Yu Meng was doing right now. He had no idea where Yu Meng was. However, he could not say these words. The only thing he could do was to help Tang Tianbao deceive Duan Hong.
”Oh, Yu Meng is fine. Auntie, don't worry. ”
Duan Hong looked at Chen Dalong seriously. She seemed to have noticed something. Chen Dalong lowered his head slightly. He felt a burst of nervousness in his heart. Actually, Duan Hong only wanted to test out his thoughts. She was just worried about Yu Meng.
How could Duan Hong be at ease? These few days, she had been thinking about her dreams day and night. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, as if she was a woman suffering from a ”minor illness”. She knew that sometimes her request was too much for her son. However, on second thought, she wouldn't think so. What was so difficult about that? Wasn't it just asking Yu Meng to come over for a meal? Was it that hard? If it was really difficult, then it could only mean one thing. It was that something had gone wrong with Tang Tianbao and Yu Meng's relationship. This was something she didn't want to see. She didn't want to think about it. She would rather urge her son on than believe that they had broken up.
Tang Tianbao was still groaning on the sofa. Only he himself knew the pain and suffering in his heart. He was reclining on the sofa, his blood boiling and his heart pounding with alcohol. He wasn't completely confused. Even though his body was as soft as mud and he was staggering, he was not confused at all. He knew that Yu Meng had left, that Xie Min was busy with her summer job, and that Duan Hong was pressing on him. These things were small to him, but they were also important matters that could not be easily overlooked.
Tang Tianbao took out a cigarette from his pocket and placed it in his mouth. He closed his eyes and a sparkling teardrop slowly rolled down the corner of his eyes.
”Little Treasure, tell me the truth!” Had Yu Meng left? Duan Hong walked up to Tang Tianbao and sternly asked.
Tang Tianbao slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with tears. However, he didn't say a single word. He just stood there staring blankly. He could only pretend to be stupid. Because he was completely unable to answer Duan Hong's question and he didn't want to.
