Chapter Ninety-Nine: What is Red Powder?

Back to a disease-free world.

During this time, Promi was sometimes a little busier at the Fifty-Seventh Branch. So he can't go to the stadium to train like he used to do every day. Of course, he still tries to find time to train and maintain his good physical condition and feel.

On this day, after getting off work, he was busy in the unit for a while, and he had already missed the team's training time. So after work, Promi went straight home.

Not long after arriving home, Promi received a call from the Housing Management Committee. It turned out that Black Eisen had been taken to their temporary stay room by the Residence Management Committee because of a fight with the rest of his teammates. The team has already sent someone over, and Promi needs to be there to deal with it because he is the guardian of Black Eisen.

Promi hurried over. It's not too bad, it's just an internal conflict on their team, and if someone hadn't called, the people from the Residency Management Committee wouldn't have come. However, since someone had called, they took all the people involved to the temporary stay room.

Promi paid a sum of money and bailed out Black Eisen first. Others, the team got them out.

"Why are you so impulsive? Promi asked Black Essen.

"They insulted me. They said I was black-skinned, a born low-class person who could only do the lowest jobs, and they said I didn't deserve to play with them on the court......" said Haysen.

Promi sighed and said to him, "You're playing better and better, and you're threatening other people's positions, and they must be upset with you." If they say that, you get angry and get into a conflict with them, isn't that just the right thing? If you keep doing this, you break the team's discipline, and you get caught by the Residency Management Committee a few more times, the team will probably terminate your contract. ”

"Ah, is it so serious?" Hearing Promi say this, Black Eisen himself regretted it a little.

"If you do it on impulse, you can do anything. If it's serious, of course, it could affect your future in the team. Promi said.

"Well, Brother Romi, I see. I won't be so impulsive and have such a conflict with them in the future. But I still can't figure it out......" said Black Eisen again.

"What can't you figure out?" asked Promi.

"Other people with non-black skin don't like me, and it's okay to find fault with them often. And the dark-skinned people, some of whom, like me, are also from the ghetto. Why are they so squeezing out of me?" said Helsen.

"Because you're working too hard, you're too motivated. It doesn't look like a dark-skinned person anymore. Your efforts reflect their depravity, so they must also see you as unhappy. Promi said.

Black Eisen nodded and said, "That's too." They asked me out to play, and I never went out. They smoke red powder, and I've never been to it. Some people have long said that I look like a non-black-skinned person. ”

Promi patted him on the shoulder and said, "There will definitely be these similar things as you climb up." Don't care, people don't see the people around them develop the most. When you go to a higher level, they will look up to you. ”

Promi, fearing that Black Eisen would come back to the arena and get into trouble with them again, took him to his home. It just so happened that Proyue was also at home.

"Hey, don't you live in the stadium?" asked Proyue.

Black Eisen was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it. Promi hurriedly relieved him and said, "The room in the arena is just being renovated, so I brought Hei Aisen to our house for a few days. ”

Promi's mother also said: "It's okay, it's okay to stay a few more days, you can live anyway." She looked at Black Eisen like a big boy.

Promi's mother prepares dinner for them. Now Black Aisen and Promi have a big appetite, but fortunately, Promi is also making more money now, and it is not a problem to buy meal kits or anything.

"Mrs. Pu, the meal bag you made tastes good, better than what I ate in the stadium cafeteria. Black Eisen said.

"Heh, if you like it, you can eat more. Actually, it's just a little salt. Promi's mother said. In fact, the salt she added was brought by Promi, and there was salt dyed in the salt world. Of course, she thought she bought it from the supermarket here.

Promi thought to himself, although in the disease-free world, there is no food except for meal bags, but the meal bags cut out with heart still taste better than the meal bags of the same level in the canteen. People still have the ability to appreciate delicious food.

"Brother Romy, my appetite is getting bigger and bigger now. Hei Aisen said again.

"That's a good thing. And haven't you noticed that your current body is much stronger than before. Promi said.

"Hmm. ”

Hei Aisen nodded, and said, "I want to make myself physically stronger and stronger on the court." ”

Promi also nodded and said, "Yes, this is what you are working towards." ”

After dinner, they sat around watching TV again. Hei Aisen originally wanted to watch basketball, but Proyue wanted to watch music, so he had to follow her.

"Alas, there is no blind date competition tonight on the TV show "Narrow Road Meeting". Proyue said.

"Then it's up to you to play basketball. Promi said.

"No, there are other music programs. Proyue said, changing the channel again. It turned out to be rock music, a band called Marilyn Manson.

"Gee, this music is so loud. Promi's mother said, getting up and going to the kitchen.

"Mom, you don't know how to appreciate this. That's what rock 'n' roll is all about. Since the last time my brother took me to a Pink Floyd concert, I've become more and more fond of rock 'n' roll. Proyue said. The lyrics of this song on TV are also very interesting:

I don't like red powder, but red powder haunts me

I don't like red powder, powder, powder......

Baby, I'm living an orthodox life

We are all beautiful, non-black-skinned people

We all use the traditional missionary posture

We are all quiet, sober, rational people

Every word we say is televised

……

"It's very rhythmic and the melody is good. But I don't know much about the lyrics, what is red powder, why is red powder pestering him?"

"Red powder, I know. Black Eisen hurriedly said, "They say that red powder will make you feel good." One small drawback, though, is that once you get used to the taste, you can't go back. You have to come a little bit every day. Otherwise, you won't be able to do anything. ”
