Chapter 92 The Universe Comes to Qiang (I) Words Become a Prison.
Zhang Deng only drank two cocktails and found them too sweet and unpalatable. They gave him a feeling of being high in calories, burdensome and not good for the body. This kind of drinking in a nightclub was not suitable for Zhang Deng. Wei Yuanye was not very enthusiastic about drinking this kind of wine either. Someone noticed that the two of them didn't drink much and said they wanted to order some shots, but Zhang Deng refused repeatedly.
He Xiaoqiu agreed and said, "If you're out playing, just have fun."
"Then you drink," Zhang Deng said, "I don't know how to drink."
He Xiaoqiu said, "I've been drinking."
Zhang Deng took a closer look and found that He Xiaoqiu was indeed not shy. He picked up the wine list and ordered, and drank it right away.
Zhang Deng was so annoyed that he didn't even want to compete with him to see who could drink more or make friends better. But the words on his lips changed to: "Do you have any beer?"
Even when Zhang Deng drinks, he wants to drink something relatively healthy. He feels that since he takes such good care of himself, he won't have to say that he is fearless of life and death in the future.
Wei Yuanye was really not interested in this kind of situation. He was quite respectful of everyone by not picking up his phone to play games. He sat there without saying much. Some boys showed interest in Wei Yuanye and chatted with him for a long time. However, Wei Yuanye's work was confidential and his salary was unknown. His partner was sitting next to him and he was not interested in other people's privacy. There was not much to chat with. Everyone said a few words to him and then had nothing else to say.
He Xiaoqiu is indeed a people person. He can have fun with anyone and everyone is entertained by his conversations.
Zhang Deng drank two bottles of beer and his stomach was bloated. He patted the legs of He Xiaoqiu, who was sitting on the outside, and asked him to move aside so that he could go to the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, He Xiaoqiu was standing in front of the mirror, checking his appearance.
Zhang Deng was speechless and said, "It's beautiful enough."
"Really?" He Xiaoqiu asked casually, glancing at him. "What's wrong with your hair? You're just upset."
Zhang Deng said, "Everyone says it looks great."
He Xiaoqiu: "They have very high emotional intelligence."
Zhang Deng was about to be choked to death by him and said, "Shut up."
It was rare for him to be so tongue-tied. Perhaps deep down in his heart he still had an inexplicable fear of He Xiaoqiu's magic.
Zhang Deng said, "Are you secretly in love with me and waiting for me here?"
"I've had ten glasses of wine," He Xiaoqiu said. "My bladder isn't working?"
Zhang Deng was speechless again.
He Xiaoqiu glanced at his hair and said, "Hurry up and grow your hair back. It's so ugly."
Zhang Deng: "None of your business. I'm not going to talk to you."
"I look down on you." He Xiaoqiu said.
Zhang Deng: “…”
Zhang Deng's fighting ability was completely different from his. Not wanting to be bullied anymore, he turned around and was about to leave. He Xiaoqiu said, "Liu Yan came to see me."
Zhang Deng stopped and looked back at him. He Xiaoqiu's expression made it hard to tell what he was feeling. He said, "After I posted the wedding photos, he contacted me."
"What did you say?"
"Ask if it's true," He Xiaoqiu turned his head, leaving only half of his face. He shook the water off his hands and said, "It's probably those words, feeling pity or something like that."
Zhang Deng actually figured it out. He said, "He realized it too late."
He Xiaoqiu: "Yes, that's what I said."
"He realized it too late," He Xiaoqiu repeated. "So you thought the same thing."
Zhang Deng also felt it was a pity. It was a pity for each of the three of them. They had been entangled for so long, wasting so much time and energy, and in the end they had no contact with each other until they died, like a group of childish children.
The two of them returned to the booth together. Hu Ningning's eyes almost popped out when she saw this scene. She didn't seem to find anyone she particularly liked at this party. She kept drinking alone and occasionally teasing the people around her.
The drinking lasted until after four in the morning. Zhang Deng was also drunk. When he heard everyone say they were leaving, he stood up in a daze. He Xiaoqiu said, "I've already paid the bill."
"The boss is generous," Hu Ningning put his arm on Zhang Deng's shoulder and gave him a thumbs-up. "He is indeed rich."
Zhang Deng asked, "How much did it cost?"
He Xiaoqiu said, "Eighteen thousand."
Zhang Deng: “…”
When they walked out, the owner of the coffee shop in the corridor was already hugging the illustrator. The two were kissing each other passionately. When he saw everyone coming out, he asked in confusion, "Are you leaving?"
"Are we still moving?"
"No." Zhang Deng really couldn't bear it any longer. He had already risked his life today, and this was the only amount of compensation he could give.
"I want to go home," Zhang Deng said. "I miss home."
Hu Ningning said, "The kitten is still with me."
"Stay at my place tonight," Hu Ningning said. "Former idol, where are you going back to?"
She took out her phone and opened it in a daze: "I'll find a designated driver for you."
He Xiaoqiu said, "I'm staying in a hotel."
"No," Hu Ningning said, "Why stay in a hotel? Come to my house. I have room for you."
Zhang Deng said, "You're not feeling well, are you?"
Hu Ningning: "You are all my idols. Isn't it my duty to be nice to you?"
Zhang Deng confirmed that Hu Ningning was really drunk and was actually unconscious, but because she could still speak, everyone thought she was still normal.
She grabbed a few people on the street, refusing to let anyone go, and threw a tantrum, throwing a tantrum and pouring out her heart.
Zhang Deng was actually drunk, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was no big deal. In the end, everyone agreed to let Hu Ningning go to her house.
He Xiaoqiu drove here, but Hu Ningning didn't drive because she knew he would be drunk. So they called a designated driver and went back in a car with great difficulty.
Xiao Mi and Ragdoll were both woken up and stood at the door looking at them with their eyes wide open.
When He Xiaoqiu saw Xiao Mi, he immediately squatted down and called her name, asking, "Do you remember me?"
Xiao Mi still recognized He Xiaoqiu, but she was not very enthusiastic towards him, and just brushed her tail across his hand.
He Xiaoqiu still liked kittens very much. He picked up Xiao Mi without saying anything and said, "Long time no see, Xiao Mi."
When Zhang Deng and He Xiaoqiu were still on good terms, He Xiaoqiu had seen Xiaomi when he visited his home. He liked Xiaomi very much and had bought snacks for it.
He reeked of alcohol, which Xiao Mi didn't like. She cried out "Ah", broke free, and ran away.
The first thing Wei Yuanye did when he got home was to wash up. He asked, "Do you have any extra toiletries?"
Hu Ningning fell unconscious on the sofa. He Xiaoqiu asked, "Where should I sleep?"
Zhang Deng inexplicably started acting as a babysitter. She went upstairs and found an empty room for He Xiaoqiu, saying, "You live here."
Hu Ningning's house was really big. There were four or five empty rooms upstairs. Zhang Deng walked into any of them and found everything inside was very complete. Zhang Deng greeted Wei Yuanye and said, "This bathroom has everything."
Zhang Deng went to serve Hu Ningning again, pulled her to the master bedroom, pushed the bed, looked for makeup remover in front of the dressing table, removed her makeup in a mess, and when she was looking for skin care products, she saw a book on the table - "Cats".
Zhang Deng was so familiar with this book that he recognized it almost at first sight.
This is not a very popular poetry collection. When Zhang Deng was in junior high school, the publishing house solicited short poems from teenagers. Zhang Deng tried to submit a draft, and after it was selected, the publishing house gave him this book.
He later put the short poem he wrote about his secret love for Liu Yan in this book and took it out to read occasionally because he was so familiar with it.
Zhang Deng thought this was his book, but when he opened it, he saw traces of someone else reading it, so it wasn't his.
It was very interesting to have the same book list as someone else. Zhang Deng wanted to ask Hu Ningning about it tomorrow, but when he turned around, he felt a chill all over his body. He found that the book list on Hu Ningning's bookshelf was almost 100% the same as his.
He was nailed to the spot, his whole body shivering, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became - every single book was exactly the same as the one on his bookshelf.
Zhang Deng slowly turned his head and saw Hu Ningning lying on the bed, still sleeping unconscious.
He suddenly felt as if something was looking at him. Zhang Deng turned his head suddenly and saw the ragdoll cat at the door.
The cat's eyes flashed a faint green light in the darkness. Zhang Deng breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
After washing up, He Xiaoqiu couldn't find anyone. When he arrived at this room, he saw the light on. He noticed that he looked unhappy and asked, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
He followed the light of the lamp to the bookshelf and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Deng said, "The books here are exactly the same as those at home."
"So what?" He Xiaoqiu asked, "Is your reading niche?"
Zhang Deng's reading was extensive, by no means niche, but it was impossible for him to have 100% overlap. He felt that this was not right, but he didn't say anything, and said vaguely: "That's right."
He Xiaoqiu said, "Doesn't Hu Ningning like you very much? She probably bought the books according to your book list."
But Zhang Deng had never shared his book list with anyone. Zhang Deng swallowed the words, pretending nothing happened, and said, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
He Xiaoqiu rolled his eyes: "I couldn't find you, and I thought you were asleep somewhere."
He was about to go to bed, so Zhang Deng went to the guest room where Wei Yuanye was washing up. Wei Yuanye just came out. Zhang Deng didn't know whether he should tell Wei Yuanye about this matter. He had already concealed many things from Wei Yuanye, and it seemed that if he suddenly told him such a thing, it would seem a bit incoherent.
Zhang Deng heard that if someone is in a bad mental state, they will suspect that the whole world is making things difficult for them. He felt that he seemed to have fallen into this psychological circle, and all his speculations seemed to be unnecessary worries and self-inflicted troubles.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are all trivial matters that are not worth mentioning, and it seems that he is making a fuss out of nothing.
Zhang Deng simply washed up and lay down in bed. Hu Ningning's stuffed doll and Xiao Mi came into the room one after another. Zhang Deng felt flattered and petted them one by one. Zhang Deng asked the stuffed doll, "Why did you come to see me? Aren't you looking for your mother?"
"Hey," Zhang Deng touched the puppet's paw and asked curiously, "Why do your paws look different from Xiao Mi's?"
Xiaodai's paws are not soft like those of other kittens. Its paw pads are very hard and its nails are pure black, just like the paws of a large cat. Zhang Deng touched it carefully and it seemed that there were no "acne" on its belly.
Wei Yuanye hugged Zhang Deng, not letting him play with the kitten, and simply announced, "Sleep."
It was indeed too late. Zhang Deng was holding a doll in his arms, with Xiao Mi lying on his body, and was hugged tightly by Wei Yuanye. He lay on the very soft bed with all his weight on him, and soon fell asleep in a daze.
