"God, my head is going to explode. Can't you just turn off the alarm?"
…
"Jesus the hell, why do I feel like someone is setting off fireworks in my head?"
…
"Wait, wait, I'm going to throw up. No, no, I swallowed it. What does this taste like?"
…
"It's so annoying! Can't the noise stop for a while? Is the neighbor having a party?"
…
"Who drew the curtains up? My eyes are going to be blinded by the sun!"
…
Muttering, muttering to himself, Aldon just slumped on the sofa, pressed his head with a pillow, and complained intermittently. There was no response at all, but he still muttered to himself. The only thing now The feeling is that there are 100,000 minions playing drums in my mind. The sour and refreshing feeling is really indescribable in words.
Desire/immortality/desire/death. He wants to die more now.
Vaguely, the roar of a horn came from outside the window, and the harsh bass was like a tank running directly over his head. "God!" Aldon pressed himself firmly with both hands. ears, trying to stop the intrusion of sound, but obviously to no avail, this is a disaster.
"AJ! AJ! Damn! AJ, ask the neighbor to turn off the damn speaker! Otherwise I will destroy all his gardens!" Aldon took away the pillow, roared furiously, and then used the pillow again Covering his head, at this moment, he would rather suffocate to death than be tortured by the noise.
After waiting for a moment, a roaring sound came from the window.
"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone is so quiet! It's so noisy early in the morning. It didn't scare your mother to death. It almost scared your stepfather to pee! Wait until I finish you on the bed first Mother, we will settle the accounts later! Can you give us a little quiet space now? Your mother is still waiting for me!"
It was just a few sentences, but the entire text was full of curse words. It was gushed out with the unique rhythm and rhythm of black people. The crackling rap style expressed all the cynical emotions. It cut off the noise outside the window in one go, and then the world was quiet. .
Aldon's hands relaxed a little. Although the blood vessels and eardrums were still violently hitting the nerves, the noisy gongs and drums finally calmed down, which made him breathe out gently, still maintaining his original posture. Movement, enjoying this rare moment of silence.
"Brother, you look like a dead corpse now. You shouldn't have suffocated yourself to death, right?"
Aldon could feel someone roughly kicking his calf. He raised his right hand and waved it angrily, "Go away!" Then he could hear the other person chuckle, "I just went to a nursing home once." , will you become a delicate little bitch when you come out again? It’s only been two rounds, and you can’t get up anymore? God, are you really going to become someone’s bitch?”
"AJ, I'm serious. Shut up! I need to rest for a while, just a little while." Aldon still didn't bother to pay attention, and his voice came muffled from behind the pillow.
AJ-Wallace, Aldon’s childhood friend, was born in the same hospital and grew up in the same neighborhood. They went to school together, played together and had a lot of adventures together. Aldon's first time happened in the back seat of Wallace's car, and Wallace's first time was when Aldon helped out. It is no exaggeration to say that they are best friends who grew up wearing the same pair of crotchless pants.
Aldon is not a student. During the NCAA, his grades were flying low every semester. After his sophomore year, he announced his participation in the draft early. The same is true for Wallace. He was not even admitted to the university. , after graduating from high school, he worked in a car repair shop in the neighborhood and has not found a suitable job until now.
As a first-round pick in 2011, Aldon's contract is naturally no small matter. After successfully signing with the San Francisco 49ers, he brought all his family and friends over and settled here, including Hua Hua. Laish. Aldon is giving back to his family and friends in his own way.
Now Wallace still has no job. He is more like Aldon's personal assistant, responsible for helping to take care of Aldon's life-organizing the house, filling the refrigerator, taking care of the family, arranging schedules, planning parties, and so on. The reason why we say "no job" is because Aldon did not pay Wallace's salary. However, Aldon was responsible for all of Wallace's daily expenses.
From a certain perspective, immigrants in North America still follow their own living traditions. Just like the Chinese gather near Chinatown, people of African descent still maintain a tribal lifestyle. All relatives and friends of the whole family are here. They live bustlingly in the same space, and then the strongest and most outstanding male in the family shoulders the responsibility of supporting them.
Aldon's lifestyle is still common in the southern United States.
Faced with Aldon's complaints, Wallace was already used to it and kicked Aldon's thigh hard again, "Don't worry, man, you have a whole day to rest."
"No." Aldon's voice came over muffled, "I still have a tactical meeting, held by Bambi. I need to be there, I have to be there." Aldon was still repeating, "God, AJ, I told you, I have a tactics meeting today and I can’t keep drinking.”
"A bottle of beer is not poison." Wallace said nonchalantly, "I just advise you to drink a bottle of beer. Remember, beer is not alcohol at all, it is a drink. A drink!"
"Go away!" Aldon didn't buy it at all, "Who built the tequila tower on the bar? AJ, you are not helping."
"So were you happy last night? You tell yourself, are you happy?" Wallace waited for a moment, without waiting for any response from Aldon: either affirmative or negative. Wallace smiled contentedly, "Look, Brother, I am helping, I am helping you to maintain a happy mood. You know, only when you are happy, your game state will be good; only when you are happy, you can devote yourself to the game wholeheartedly. This It’s the most basic truth!”
"Ardon!"
A call came from outside the window. Wallace and Aldon immediately cut off their voices and listened intently, trying to identify the source and content of the sound.
"Ardon!"
It's Lu Ke.
With a sudden movement, Aldon sat up straight, and he suddenly woke up from his hangover. He tried to stand up, but unexpectedly his knees became weak for a while, and he fell down softly like a boneless snake. Next to him, he fell down softly. The beer cans and wine glasses on the coffee table were immediately poured over, and the clanging sound echoed in the hall. This made Aldon more and more panicked, and he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried.
"Who?" Wallace was not that sensitive to sounds, and his reaction speed could not keep up with Aldon. He was still confused, but he still stepped forward and tried to help Aldon stand up, "Jesus Christ, you It looks like he was caught/raped/in/bed/by his ex-girlfriend.”
Aldon was in no mood to argue with Wallace at this time.
"Squat down! God, AJ, squat down immediately!" Aldon completely ignored his own embarrassment, threw away Wallace's hands, and simply crawled to the ground, and then kept pulling on Wallace's arms. trousers, asking him to squat down quickly; at the same time, he also made a bowing motion of burying his head in the ground, just like an ostrich, trying his best to hide his whereabouts, "Shut up, AJ, damn God, Hurry and squat down, don’t be discovered!”
Wallace still didn't know why.
But in a daze, Wallace still hugged his head and lay down with Aldon, but his movements seemed much lazier, almost sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then looked at Aldon The movement of hugging the head and scurrying around made him burst into laughter.
"You should know that even if we stand up, we may not be able to see outside, right?" Action is action, Wallace is still complaining with black lines on his head, "What's more, remember? I just went out I scolded my neighbors on the balcony outside, so I thought my whereabouts should have been exposed, is there any need to hide now?"
What?
Ardon was directly shocked, and then stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Before Aldon could react, Lu Ke's voice sounded simultaneously, as if he had seen through the conversation between Wallace and Aldon.
"Aldon, I know you are inside. I just saw your friends, and I also saw your car. You know that even if you can escape today, you can't escape tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, right?"
Damn it!
Ardon cursed secretly.
"Aldon, I need you to show up, and we need to talk face to face. I need a reason, and this is enough. You know that you can't hide forever, and you will have to face me sooner or later, so why not let this happen? Today, I still have a tactical meeting to finish and you have a job to finish, so let’s sit down and talk like adults, okay?”
Aldon hugged his head in frustration and muttered, "It's over, it's over, it's over..."
Wallace still looked indifferent, "Is that Bambi?" He finally reacted, "So what? He is just your quarterback, firstly not the head coach, secondly not the agent, you There is no need to tell him anything. He is nobody to you."
But Ardon would not listen at all.
Wallace had to grab Aldon's hands, "Hey, brother! You should go out and tell Bambi to get out of here! This is your home, this is your life, this is your job, he doesn't He should be telling you what to do! Just let him take care of his own work. As for how you choose to spend your rest time, that is your freedom!"
"AJ, I don't want to, understand? I don't want Bambi to go away! I need Bambi's help! AJ, do you understand? I need Bambi." Aldon said urgently, and then ignored Hualai Shina had a puzzled look on his face. He was too busy to take care of himself now, "What should I do, what should I do, what should I do? What should I do now?"
