Chapter 18: Children

Donggao Game Club is immersed in a joyful atmosphere with a new mission. Many members who were assigned tasks by Chiba Yuki and were tired like dogs, their eyes that were a little hesitant to unload their burdens were reunited. With a new mission, they happily became dogs again.

Lin Yan, who finished the long speech, also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally finished speaking, and in the new task, he still didn't have anything to do. Lin Yan was very happy, very happy, and felt that his eloquence skills had reached a new level.

Satisfied, he looked at the sunset that was beginning to sink towards the western skyline, and the sunset at this moment seemed to be a little higher than it was a month ago. Lin Yan, who studied geography in high school, knows what it is. It's probably a matter of the direct sunlight.

On the same earth, at a different address, a child is also looking at the sunset. He is very different from Lin Yan, who is calm and relaxed, he is crying, crying very much. The cheeks on both sides of him were red and swollen, as if he had been slapped in the mouth.

In fact, it was indeed slapped in the mouth. There are thirty-nine mouths in total. The children who were crying were counted again and again when they were beaten.

He didn't shed a single tear on the way from the door of the theater where he was beaten to the door of his house. Instead, when he returned home, he opened the door and saw his father, and he began to cry.

The father in the main hall did not react, but the mother in the kitchen rushed out first. When she saw her son's bulging red and swollen cheeks, she didn't mention the distress.

She wiped tears from her son's face and asked what was wrong?

The child intermittently answered the cause and effect, and it turned out to be like this.

The child happily returned from school today, took the small change coin given by his father, happily walked to the electronic game machine outside the movie theater, skillfully put in the coin, climbed the high chair and played the game.

When he finished playing, someone made a bet with him, saying that whoever scored the highest score would win a coin to the person with the lowest score. Or a slap in the face from someone with a low score.

The child has been playing for so many days, and he already knows the level of others, and he is generally at what level, of course, he is confident. I heard that there is a small amount of money to take. I happily agreed.

However, the reality is so cruel that the child has tasted a lesson. Thirty-nine slaps, thirty-nine slaps, he lost thirty-nine times.

One arcade machine for two people. At the same time, he started the game and competed in the same game, and he lost a full thirty-nine times.

The guy who challenged him was smoking the child and shouting that his hands were numb. He was laughing, laughing very cheaply, and he asked the child if it hurt, and if it hurt, he said that he would not smoke. The condition is that after school, you are a primary school student and go to do your homework. Never touch a video game arcade again, never touch Space Invaders.

The child didn't cry out in pain, he didn't say a word, and silently endured another slap.

The father, who had been listening to his son and did not speak or come over, walked up to him and asked him, "Do you still want to play arcade?" ”

"Hmm...... Hmmm......" The crying child nodded like garlic.

"Don't be afraid to meet someone who is better than you, I will give you coins to fight until you win. Don't lose to anyone else in anything! The child's father took out a few large tickets and stuffed them into the child's hand and said.

The child, who knew his father's character, didn't say anything more, just nodded heavily.

The mother looked at the back of the child walking away in the sunset. Said with some concern, "He's a little kid, he won't be robbed by others if he takes so much money, right?" Moreover, it's almost time to eat, and you give him money to play, and it's not good for your body to eat on time. ”

"Won't be robbed. Our Taoyuan County has such good security, what is eating, you have to win to eat, you have to win everything, you can't lose to others! Dad said sonorously.

Mom looked at him deeply, and as she walked to the kitchen, she said quietly, "You......"

"What's wrong with me, me." Dad muttered.

As he walked, the child thought about the limited memories of his young years. From the very young age when he could remember, his father had always had this attitude towards him. Let him do everything first.

In the tangram competition in kindergarten, he was the first; In the table tennis competition in the first semester of the first semester of the first year, he was the first; In the chess competition in the second semester of the first year, he was still the champion. Even the results of each exam, he was the first.

Children who come first in everything live under tremendous pressure every day. It was only when he touched the video game arcade machine and touched the joystick of the round head that he felt a sense of relief and relaxation. Therefore, he was willing to be slapped in the face, willing to endure the pain, and did not say that he would never play arcade again.

His life is not gloomy, but "Space Invaders" and video game arcades can be regarded as the only brilliance in his small life.

The child stuffed a few large tickets into his pocket, and then took out one and exchanged it for many coins. After waiting for an arcade machine to be empty, he poured coins on the arcade machine's control panel, and then, starting to put in coins, climbed onto the high chair and began to practice without saying a word.

He practiced for a long time, and when he knew that the movie theater was finished at night, and the movie theater was going to put away the arcade machine, the child reluctantly watched the arcade machine being pushed into the warehouse, and walked home step by step.

Ishida turned his back to the sun sinking into the west, looked at the thick clouds in the east, and said, "It's going to rain." ”

"yes, it's going to rain." Uncle Matsuo took a bite of the lime that he felt was sour just by looking at it.

"Matsuo-senpai, you eat less lemons, have you forgotten what the doctor said?" Ishida persuaded.

Uncle Matsuo has already made a mistake eating limes, and he just went to the hospital a few days ago, and the doctor said that the fruit is good, but he can't eat it as if he was an enemy.

Uncle Matsuo thought about it, hesitated and hesitated, but put down the lime, looked at the lovely lime and said, "When you return to Japan, you can't eat fruit like this." ”

"Well, yes......" Ishida replied.

In fact, Ishida also liked it a little, this Taiwan that he hated a little when he first came. Not only is the fruit here good and cheap, but everything else is like that, and in Ishida's opinion, it's like not wanting money.

Moreover, the vast majority of people here, except for those Rausch ** veterans, especially the younger generation, are very fond of the Japanese. actually made Ishida, a young man, feel respected. (To be continued.) )
