Unfortunately, the bathroom in the private room was occupied and the door was not opened for a long time. He probably drank too much.
Lin Shao was still dizzy. His head was half leaning on Chen Yuankai's shoulder. Chen Yuankai touched his hair and said, "Let's go outside. There's a bathroom outside."
The washroom outside was at the end of the corridor. Lin Ting immediately kicked Chen Yuankai to the curb when she reached the washroom. She pushed Chen Yuankai aside and staggered into the washroom.
Chen Yuankai was afraid that he would fall and wanted to follow him, but he was mercilessly pushed back outside.
"Don't come in." Lin Shao muttered, "I'm a big kid. I can go to the bathroom by myself."
Chen Yuankai, "…"
Lin Shao was a little childish when he was drunk. Chen Yuankai knew that it was his fault. The 40 degree Rémy Martin was beyond Lin Shao's tolerance. He could only follow Lin Shao's words and stood outside. He said softly, "Okay, okay, okay. You go to the bathroom by yourself. I'll be outside. Call me if you need anything, okay?"
The bathroom was not big. Chen Yuankai stood outside the door and could hear what was going on inside. Although Lin Shao was drunk, he could still walk steadily.
There were six small cubicles in the bathroom. Lin Shao stood in the middle and had a phobia of choice.
He seriously used the method of "I'll choose whoever the little rooster chooses" to choose which cubicle to go to. He tried three times, and each time he chose a different cubicle. In the end, he made himself angry and chose the closest cubicle.
After the metabolism, Lin Shao felt that his face was a little hot. He slowly walked to the sink and used his palm to collect some water. Then, he splashed it on his face.
The cold water made him a little sober. At this time, Chen Yuankai outside the door asked him, "Ah Shao, are you done?"
"Right away," he replied, "Wait for me for a while."
His head was still a little dizzy. Lin Shao leaned against the wall of the sink for a while. His red face was reflected in the mirror. Even his eyes were red.
He stared at the mirror and felt that there were double images of himself in the mirror. He squinted his eyes and looked at himself. Suddenly, he felt a little strange.
A ray of light radiated from the edge of his head, forming a small circle that flickered like a light bulb. Lin Zhi jumped in fright and fell backward. He was already unsteady on his feet, so when he moved, he fell on his back. Chen Yuankai, who was outside, heard that something was wrong and quickly rushed in.
"Aiya, why did you insist on not letting me in? Great, now you've fallen," Chen Yuankai complained. "Aren't you the one who's at a disadvantage?
Let me see where you fell.
Are you hurt?
Say something! "
Lin Shao, who was helped up by him, was in a daze. After a while, he slowly turned his head.
"Did you see it?" he whispered.
"See what?"
Lin Zhi stretched out a hand and drew a circle around her head with her trembling hand. Her voice was filled with fear and confusion. "Look, I'm glowing."
Chen Yuankai was speechless.
"You're really drunk," he muttered. "I shouldn't have let you come in alone."
After Lin Shao was helped up, he was still facing the mirror. He saw that the circle of light around his head was becoming more and more obvious. It was even flashing, but Chen Yuankai didn't seem to see anything. Lin Shao's mind was filled with shock and other emotions. It was mixed with the alcohol that hadn't dissipated yet. He was even more confused.
As he was being helped out, Chen Yuankai was still muttering drunken words, which made Lin Shuo, who was drunk, feel unconvinced.
It's not drunken words, he thought angrily. It's so obvious. Am I the only one who can see it?
"I'm glowing, and it's getting brighter and brighter!" Lin Shao emphasized. "You have to look at me. Don't ignore it!
What if I burn up later? What should I do? "
Chen Yuankai looked at his face that was red from drinking. It was indeed quite hot.
When talking to a drunk person, one couldn't argue with him, because a drunk person's logic was messed up, and normal people couldn't follow. Chen Yuankai knew this, and immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, you're burning up. You have to be careful. I'll find you something cold to cool you down, okay?"
"You're patronizing me again. You don't believe me again!" Lin Shao puffed up his cheeks. "I'm ignoring you!"
He was so strong after he got drunk that even Chen Yuankai couldn't hold him back. He broke free from Chen Yuankai's grip and staggered a few steps before throwing himself onto the stranger.
The man had just come out of another private room. He lit a cigarette and was walking out. He wasn't prepared, but he still subconsciously supported him.
Lin Shao couldn't see anything clearly, and he saw double. He thought it was Chen Yuankai, so he grabbed the man and asked again, "I'll give you one last chance to admit your mistake. Tell me, am I glowing?"
The man looked very young and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He was neatly dressed in a suit and leather shoes. Everything on him was obviously not cheap. If Lin Zao got drunk and vomited on someone else, they would not be able to afford it. Chen Yuankai cursed inwardly and hurriedly went forward to try to pull the man down while explaining, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother is drunk …"
The stranger, who had just been hit by Lin Shao, dropped the cigarette in his hand. However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he helped Lin Shao steady and said gently, "It's okay. It's normal when you're drunk."
Lin Shao became the most insensible one. He clung to the man's sleeves and insisted that the top of his head was glowing.
Chen Yuankai was extremely embarrassed. However, he heard the man help him comfort Lin Shao. "Yes, I saw it. It's glowing. It's flashing."
Lin Shao was satisfied. Then, he let go of the man.
Chen Yuankai heaved a sigh of relief. He carried Lin Shao on his shoulder. The man's feet didn't touch the ground, so he was much more obedient.
As he carried the man, he still remembered to thank the man. "Thank you."
"It's nothing." The man smiled and didn't say much. He picked up the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray on the side. Then, he walked to the other side of the corridor.
Chen Yuankai carried the man back to the private room. The room was still bustling with noise and excitement. After the meal, everyone's enthusiasm hadn't died down. Now, they were singing "Friendship Lasts Forever" with the sound system and electronic screen turned on. It looked like they were going to stay up until very late.
He asked the waiter for a bowl of hangover soup. Then, he helped Lin Shao to the bathroom to vomit a few times.
After tossing and turning for almost two to three hours, Lin Shao was half-sober.
Chen Yuankai was a bad friend. When he saw that he was awake, he immediately made fun of him for his drunken behavior.
"It's a pity that I didn't record it with my phone." Chen Yuankai leaned on the sofa and laughed. "Otherwise, I could laugh at this video for 20 years."
Lin Shao rubbed his temples and said, "Who told you to give me that glass of Remy Martin? An eye for an eye. After I got drunk, I kept torturing you."
Chen Yuankai waved his hand and said, "It wasn't really torturing. It was just that you kept saying that your head was glowing. You even grabbed people along the way and forced them to admit that your head was glowing. Fortunately, they had a good temper and helped to support you. Otherwise, you would have fallen and who knows how long you would have been fooling around outside."
Glowing …
At the mention of this word, Lin Shao felt his temples hurt even more. When he was drunk, he dared to say it without any scruples. But now, he didn't dare to say a word.
This was because it was real. It wasn't because he was drunk that he had seen wrongly. His head was really glowing. Rings of light surrounded his head, flickering on and off. This special effect should be worth more than 50 cents.
In the private room, there was a wall that was embedded with a black mirror. It was right across from the sofa he was sitting on.
Lin Shao could see it as soon as he looked up. But other than him, no one else could see it.
He guessed that it was the work of that annoying System again. He even opened the System to take a look. The original interface had indeed changed. There was a green progress bar with the words: Current progress: 50%.
Lin Shao waited for about two minutes before he saw the number jump from 50 to 51.
It was almost time to go home.
He wondered if something unexpected would happen after the System update. If he suddenly disappeared in front of people, he wouldn't know how to explain it when he came back.
He looked at the time. It was almost ten at night. At this time, everyone was almost done and people were leaving one after another. Lin Shao tugged at Chen Yuankai's sleeve and said, "Yuankai, let's go back. My head still hurts a little. I want to go back and sleep."
"Okay." Chen Yuankai poured the last bit of wine in the bottle into his mouth. He didn't look drunk at all.
But even if he wasn't drunk, he couldn't break the rules. Chen Yuankai called a designated driver. The two of them were walking out. When they passed by the hall, they saw a group of people surrounding the door of another private room. It looked like the banquet was over and they were leaving.
"Hey." Chen Yuankai suddenly leaned over and said to Lin Shao, "Look at the person in the lead. That gold-rimmed glasses. He's the person I told you about who helped you."
