Chapter 1: Rebirth
The three-year appointment has arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gangnam City, a second-rate university, Ganghe University.
Ye An returned to his alma mater again.
An inexplicable taste.
I got out of the car and walked to the third sports field on foot to the agreed place.
There are already people waiting for him.
"The two of them haven't arrived yet?" Ye An walked over and sat next to him and asked.
Bai Cheng nodded, picked up a beer casually and handed it to Ye An.
"How is it, are you still writing novels?" Ye An took a sip of beer, his eyes gently swept over Bai Cheng beside him, and asked casually.
Bai Cheng gently shook the half-listening beer in his hand, and his voice was a little ethereal: "I haven't written it for a long time." ”
Ye An casually glanced at Bai Cheng's face, only to see that the corners of his mouth were bitter, his face was yellow and thin, Ye An vaguely understood something, withdrew his gaze, and did not ask again.
In his memory, Bai Cheng was a literature lover, and he loved to write novels when he was in college, and Ye An still remembers Bai Cheng's most common sentence on his lips is that he wants to become a god at the beginning point.
At that time, he was handsome, talented, and recognized as a talent in the academy, and many girls pursued him at that time, but he devoted himself to writing, and he did not fall in love once in four years of college.
Many people dedicate their youth to love, but he dedicates his youth to his dreams.
Just as many people's love does not blossom, his dreams do not blossom in the end.
Bai Cheng raised his head, drank the rest of the beer in one go, turned his head, looked at Ye An, and said, "What about you, how are you doing?"
Ye An looked aimlessly into the distance, and his voice was a little self-deprecating: "I also work in a small company, with a salary of 3,000 yuan a month, and I have to send 2,000 to my family every month." ”
"Isn't Auntie's illness cured yet?" Bai Cheng asked.
Ye An shook his head, and his voice was a little low: "My mother has a heart disease. ”
Bai Cheng: "Your brother hasn't been found yet?"
Ye An shook his head bitterly, and there was a deep powerlessness and self-blame in his tone: "My brother has a high heart, he hasn't replied to the letter all these years, and it is estimated that he has not had a good time outside, so he blames me for being useless as a brother." ”
After speaking, Ye An turned his head and rubbed his somewhat sour nose.
Three years ago, my younger brother suddenly ran away from home, and my mother was sick in bed ever since, and the burden of the family fell on my father alone.
Looking at the depressed scene at home, Ye An gave up graduate school and found a job in Jiangnan City to supplement the family and share his father's hardships.
The autumn breeze blew gently, cool, blowing on the face, and I didn't feel the pain. But there was a chill that inadvertently hit Ye An's heart, and in this late autumn season, the bleak breath eroded the last trace of temperature in his heart little by little.
That's how life works.
When you are young, everyone has dreams, but not everyone's dreams can come true.
When the pressure of family and society is coming, they have to bow to reality, have to give up their favorite ideals, and go to the most ordinary jobs, and start to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt.
There were young figures running on the sports field, and Ye An and Bai Cheng were drinking beer while chatting about their college life.
When a person appeared in front of them, Ye An and the two stood up in unison.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
The upper body was wearing a shabby military coat, a pair of washed and somewhat whitish jeans on the lower body, and a pair of sneakers on the feet that could no longer be recognized.
Ye An looked at the young man in front of him who looked even older than himself at a glance, and he seemed to have an illusion.
Is the man standing in front of him really Xiao Yu, who is three years younger than his age?
Ye An's memories went back to three years ago, back to the original college dormitory, that short, lively and cute, game-loving teenager has become like this now?
Ye An was a little incredulous, and he couldn't imagine what had happened to him over the years to cause such a big change in a person.
"What, you don't know me?" Xiao Yu smiled, picked up a bottle of wine, and sat down on his own.
"Didn't you go to play professionally?" Ye An asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu took a big sip of beer, smiled self-deprecatingly, and finally spit out a sentence: "I have stopped fighting for a long time." ”
Ye An's heart was slightly cold, looking at the smile on Xiao Yu's face, he was inexplicably a little heartbroken, the youngest roommate in the 514 dormitory in the past, but he was so old like this, behind the sentence 'I have stopped fighting for a long time', Ye An couldn't imagine what kind of sadness it was.
The strongest king of LOL Telecom Zone 1, the teenager who claimed to be going to participate in professional competitions and reach the world finals, is now down like this.
At this moment, looking at the somewhat stiff smile on the other party's face, Ye An didn't know whether his strong smile was really indifferent or the pain hidden in his heart.
"You have a lot of talent, you shouldn't give up, unlike me, you have no talent at all. Bai Cheng said leisurely, and at the end, smiled bitterly, tilted his head, and poured a few more large sips of beer.
Xiao Yu didn't speak, but stretched out his left hand.
Five fingers, four of which have been deformed.
"Your hand ......" Ye Anxin trembled, and vaguely understood why Xiao Yu wanted to give up e-sports.
Xiao Yu's eyes were low, his eyes were staring at his left hand, and he said in a low voice: "Two years ago, I had a conflict with someone in an Internet café, and these four fingers were broken at that time. ”
"You also know, in the four years of college, I didn't even get my graduation certificate, and I never dared to tell my family about the competition, and then I couldn't play the competition, so I went to a construction site to work as a small worker, although the salary is not much, but at least I can support myself. ”
Xiao Yu said it very easily, but after listening to it, the two of them felt extremely heavy in their hearts.
Ye An patted him on the back, and then hugged him.
On the other side, Bai Cheng also hugged him.
The three of them hugged each other at this time, and a faint cry spread.
The crying grew louder and louder, and gradually, all three of them began to cry.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
In the past three years, the three of them have their own sadness and difficulties, and now when the three of them get together and confide in each other's hearts, the hug of the three has become an emotional outlet for them.
It can be seen from the constantly twitching shoulders that they usually suppress too many emotions.
When their friends start to discuss buying a house or a car, they are still running for the family's livelihood, and when the people around them wear famous brands to go to high-end clubs and restaurants, they can only wear their clothes to an ordinary small restaurant and order a snack for a few yuan.
The gap between people is like this, and Ye An and the three are the kind of people who live at the bottom of society, with meager wages and a shallow life.
A cool breeze blows through the sky, blowing the sky from dusk to night.
The last person in the 514 dormitory, Liu Zixu, finally came.
The four of them reunited, and first embraced.
After greeting each other for a while, Ye An and the three of them knew that Liu Zixu was not as good as they imagined.
Liu Zixu's family is poor, although he is a scholar, but after graduation, his girlfriend is going to study in the United States, and he wants to start a business at home, so the two can only end this relationship by breaking up.
Liu Zixu has been in business for three years, and in the first year, it was smooth sailing, making some money, and then he continued to take out loans, wanting to expand the company's business, but he didn't expect the situation to be bad and lost money.
After tossing more than one million at once, Liu Zixu's company had to declare bankruptcy, and until now he still owes a bank loan of 500,000.
Hearing this, Ye An and the three of them were all embarrassed.
"Come, let's go through dormitory 514. Xiao Yu picked up the beer and held it up.
Then, the four beers collided fiercely.
Ye An suddenly thought of a poem from Beidao.
At that time we had dreams, about literature, about love, about traveling through the world. Nowadays we drink late at night, and when the glasses collide, it is the sound of broken dreams.
Four people in one dormitory, four dreams, all shattered.
Ye An shook his head self-deprecatingly, recalling the arrogance of his college days, but now they can't be arrogant.
"It seems that the worst of our class should belong to our dormitory. Bai Cheng said jokingly, with less sadness and more freedom in his smile.
is also a fallen person at the end of the world, maybe he is talking about the current mood.
In front of your best friends, you can share all your grievances, all your troubles, and all your difficulties, without worrying that they will have any sympathy, pity, ridicule and contempt.
This is a friend.
Liu Zixu scolded with a smile and asked, "How are you three, I remember that you rejected countless girls in Baicheng for your dreams." ”
Bai Cheng laughed, lifted the beer into the air, and said, "Xiao Er, come to two catties of dreams and feed them to the dogs." ”
"Come on, two catty dreams!" Xiao Yu raised his voice and echoed.
Ye An watched the fight between the two and smiled happily.
It feels like going back to the university life of the past.
"It's not too early, let's find a place to eat. Ye An opened his mouth to propose.
"South Gate, food stalls. ”
The three of them said in unison.
After saying that, the four of them laughed together.
……
South Gate of Jianghe University, Daxue Road.
Seeing that there was still 1 second left in the countdown to the red light, Ye An and the four of them began to cross the street.
To their right, however, a large truck was rapidly approaching this direction.
Ye An turned his head, looked at the big truck that did not reduce his speed at all, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up!"
After speaking, Ye An looked at Liu Zixu, who was bowing his head and playing with his mobile phone, and didn't have time to think, so he quickly reached out and pushed him out a few steps, but he was too late.
"Bang"
In an instant, Ye An's body fell into the air, and in a trance, he seemed to see a bright light falling from the sky.
The moment he landed, Ye An had already lost consciousness.
