Chapter Twenty-Five: Brief Warmth
Approaching August, the weather in Harbor City gradually became hotter, the sun became more scorching, and in the room of an apartment building, Zhou Feng punched Xingyi again, until his strength was exhausted, and he gave up his intention to continue and fell softly on the sofa next to him, sweating all over his body.
The current eighty-square-meter rental house was temporarily rented by Zhou Feng, after all, it would definitely be a little inconvenient to stay in a hotel every time, so Zhou Feng thought about it and finally decided to rent a room in this apartment.
It's been three days since the last fight, Zhou Feng has been busy enough these days, after that battle, Zhou Feng has made great progress, and now his martial arts cultivation has broken through from the early stage of dark energy to the middle stage of dark energy, and he has truly stepped into the ranks of dark energy masters, so in the past two days, Zhou Feng has spent a lot of time constantly cultivating, hoping to strive for a breakthrough.
At the same time, Zhou Feng has been busy with his dream of being a boss in the past few days, he has money, and he has a system that can detect energy value, Zhou Feng is particularly concerned about making money as a boss, but after a few days of busyness, Zhou Feng finally gave up this unrealistic fantasy, because he accepted the cruel reality - he is not this material at all!
Zhou Feng had to admit that he really didn't have the talent in this area, business is not something that can be done with money, and there are so many problems involved that it is scary to say, if you don't do it, it will end up with nothing, not to mention that it is a person like Zhou Feng who can't calm down, so the idea that just came up failed in failure.
"Boss."
"Hmm." Lying on the sofa, taking the towel handed over by the iron guard Zhou Tie, Zhou Feng wiped it vigorously on his face, picked up the water cup from the table next to him and drank it all, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, and the violent wheezing gradually eased.
Looking at the straight man standing beside him, Zhou Feng nodded with satisfaction, after the Iron Guardian recognized the master, the highest procedure for swearing allegiance to the master was confirmed in his mind, and Zhou Tie's strength made Zhou Feng greatly admired.
The body of liquid metal can change its appearance and body shape at will, whether it is speed or strength, it can no longer be explained by being stronger, strong attack and defense, ordinary swords can't cause him damage at all, even in the face of human strength relying on firearms and weapons, it is very difficult to defeat the Iron Guard.
In today's society, Zhou Tie can almost be regarded as invincible, maybe a few missiles may cause damage to Zhou Tie, but now who would take such a terrifying weapon as missiles to deal with a person? Even if such a thing really happens, won't Zhou Tie, the iron guard, run away and obediently beat others?
Zhou Feng didn't pay attention to Zhou Tie before, after all, Zhou Tie was always a robot in his mind, and Zhou Feng had always been a cautious mentality, for fear that others would notice something that would cause him trouble, but after this period of change, especially after being targeted by others two days ago, Zhou Feng finally understood the truth of this world - the strong decide everything!
The weak are destined to be bullied by the strong, this is the sorrow of the weak, this is the hymn of the strong, it is precisely because we live in this world, this world of the jungle, this surname has not changed since the origin of mankind, but with the change of the world, we have forgotten all this, and the cowardly people are still deceiving themselves.
Zhou Feng also figured out what people live for, not for themselves and the people they like and care for, so what is the meaning of being so timid, since you have such an adventure, you should make good use of it and live a wonderful life.
The betrayal of his girlfriend and the small methods of the fat pig Liu in private made Zhou Feng recognize the reality of society, the different crowds on the gambling field, the revenge of Liu Fatzi, and the attack of the underworld made Zhou Feng know the rules of survival in the world.
After some twists and turns, even Zhou Feng himself never found out that in less than a month, his heart has gradually become calm unconsciously, no longer the original ordinary person who has no knowledge and only knows how to live, now he has begun to get rid of the cage that binds him, no longer follows the rules like before and only knows to live for the sake of living, Zhou Feng's sky has become more open, in this period, the confidence that only when he was a child slowly returned to his face.
On the sofa, Zhou Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility now, at this moment he was no longer confused, suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, took it out and looked, Zhou Feng had a gentle smile on his face, and picked up the phone.
"Is it Kaede?" With a hint of old powerlessness in the softness, the voice reached Zhou Feng's ears through the microphone.
Although Zhou Feng already knew who it was before this, when he heard this voice, Zhou Feng's eyes were instantly moist, his throat rolled, and he hurriedly said, "Mom, it's me." ”
There was a choked voice in his voice, which was not too obvious on the phone, but the mother on the other end of the phone heard it for the first time, and her nervous voice rang: "Xiaofeng, why did your voice change, are you sick?" Does it matter? ”
Zhou Feng tried hard to keep his tears from falling, and quickly adjusted his state, afraid that his mother would worry, so he hurriedly explained: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm in good health, I guess there are some problems with this mobile phone, and I just changed my voice a little when I listened." ”
"That's good, you should pay more attention to your body in the field, don't tire yourself on the construction site, you are still young, you can't work too hard so as not to leave any diseases in the future, you are not small, I think Xiaojuan's girl is good, you two will prepare for marriage when you come back for the New Year, your mother and I are looking forward to holding our grandson as soon as possible." The mother's voice was as soft as ever, full of concern for her children, just like other parents, she was concerned about Zhou Feng's marriage as soon as she came.
"Mom, you still don't worry about your son and me, I will take care of myself." The smile on Zhou Feng's face was a little far-fetched, and after thinking about it, he finally spoke: "Mom, maybe your wish can't come true, I broke up with Wang Juan." ”
"What's the matter, how are you doing this, is there a conflict, I told you that girls have to be coaxed, are you ......" The mother on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, her voice immediately became nervous, and she asked in a panic.
"Mom, you don't know about this, since we broke up, I don't plan to get back together." After thinking about it, Zhou Feng still picked up this matter and told his mother about it, so as not to let his mother know what happened at that time and cause any misunderstanding.
Zhou Feng roughly explained the matter, Zhou's mother sighed with worry in her heart, and then said slowly: "This Xiaojuan usually looks like a very good girl, how can she do such a thing, in vain my son is so good to her, alas, don't mention this matter again in the future, and blame me for my lack of ability with your father, so that you are wronged." ”
"Mom, what do you say, your son still doesn't look down on her, she will definitely regret not choosing your son." Zhou Feng didn't want his mother to leave any burden in his heart, so he hurriedly said with a smile.
"That's right, she doesn't like my son, Xiaofeng, you can find a better one." The mother followed Zhou Feng's words, but it was more of a comfort to Zhou Feng, she was proud of her son.
"Mom, there's one more thing, I quit my job." Zhou Feng thought for a moment and spoke again.
"Well, then quit the job, Xiaofeng, go home if the work doesn't go well, you haven't been back for a long time, and your sister often talks about you in front of me." The mother didn't say anything, and her heart was always most concerned about her son.
Zhou Feng thought for a while and said, "Well, after a while, I've found another job now, and I'm doing well, so don't worry about you and my father." ”
Zhou Feng didn't tell his mother about the fact that he made a lot of money gambling on stones, after all, tens of millions of dollars were too far out of reach for his parents who lived in the countryside for most of their lives, if they suddenly told them now that their son had made so much money, it was estimated that they didn't know what to do, and he was not by their side now, so Zhou Feng planned to wait for a while to go home and then confess the matter to his family.
"Then you have to take care of yourself over there, don't work too hard, you must be very hard in the field alone now, if anything doesn't go well, just tell me and your father, don't be bitter about yourself." Say not to worry, but what parent is not worried about their children, and began to instruct them.
After chatting with his mother for a long time, the nagging words in the eyes of others were unusually warm to Zhou Feng's ears, this is the meticulous care of his parents, and they put most of their energy on their children, so for the nagging of his parents, Zhou Feng never got bored when he listened, but listened quietly with deep emotion.
The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and the hardships of their parents have always been seen by Zhou Feng, so he gave up college after finishing his third year of high school, and went out to work despite the opposition of his family, he didn't want his sister to lose the opportunity to study, he wanted to reduce the burden on his family, and in the face of the cruelty of reality, Zhou Feng didn't want his family to work hard, he wanted his parents and sister to live a carefree life, and no longer worry about the difficulties of life. Hanging up the phone, Zhou Feng's eyes became more determined, he wanted to make his parents and sister live a better life, different from the past, Zhou Feng at this moment has such confidence, after getting the interstellar supermarket, his life is no longer ordinary, so Zhou Feng secretly vowed to make his life and his family's life better.
