Chapter 18: End or Beginning?

No exaggeration, it was quite a strange scene. You know, Vera is no longer hiding it now. And she is not a little boy, every time the mother enters the room, she can only see her son staring at the computer desktop in a daze. She didn't know why her sitting posture gave Wei Jia'an a very familiar feeling, but she couldn't remember it for a while, but she was sure that something had happened, and while turning on the room light, Wei Jia'an thought.

"What's wrong with you?" Concern, Wei Jia'an asked.

"How's that?" Vera asked rhetorically.

The folding umbrella that Wei Jia'an brought home was opened, put it in the kitchen to dry, and then returned to the room: "Why don't you play games?" ”

"No more playing." Vera tilted her head back and rested her head on the back of her chair, looked at the little monkey sticker on the wall and closed her eyes slightly, "Suddenly I feel that the game is not interesting." ”

"Didn't you have a lot of fun?" Wei Jia'an asked.

"It turns out that the game is very interesting." Vera said, "It feels like ...... now Actually, that's what it is. "It's boring to build a city, it's boring to attack the enemy with a tank, it's always just a little bit and then the next turn. It used to be a short waiting time, but now it's getting longer and longer, and sometimes you have to get stuck. Anyway, I just feel bored, uninteresting, and I don't understand why I liked it so much before.

Wei Jia'an opened the refrigerator, whether it was in the fresh-keeping room or the refrigerator, there was nothing in the refrigerator, it was empty, and it looked like he had to go out to buy it today. The rain was still falling outside the window, but it was a little lighter. Before the refrigerator door was closed, he asked thoughtfully, "Have you cleared the customs?" ”

It's not just that some things have sage time, sage time no matter how charming you are, I regard red face as white bones. There are also some people who take a shower after thinking about what they have done, ashamed and guilty, and can't go on like this, with such an idea, sit in front of the computer after taking a shower, and delete all the treasures without sadness or joy. As long as you don't have those things, you won't want to look at them. Then just a day passed, busy recovering deleted files. The game is actually almost the same, many people will not feel excited and relieved after clearing the game, but will give birth to an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

"There is no clearance." Vera replied.

"Didn't you?" Vera's answer made Wei Jia'an feel a little surprised, so what was going on?

"Otherwise......" Wei Jia'an thought of another possibility, "You lost?" ”

"How is it possible, only the first time I played France, I lost, and I will play later." Vera said, "No one is my opponent of the torrent of steel, as long as I want to win, I can win immediately." Although Civilization 6 offers several ways to beat the level, she always insists that a victory that is not a victory of conquest is not a real victory, but a false victory.

"Why is that?" Wei Jia'an was completely puzzled.

"I don't know why...... It's just playing and playing, and suddenly I feel that the game is not interesting, no matter what I do, it is not interesting. Vera wasn't so polite now, "Don't talk about that, what's going to eat tonight, I'm a little hungry?" ”

"You're hungry?" Wei Jia'an asked, "I didn't come back at noon, what did you eat at noon?" ”

Vera said, "Not hungry. ”

"Eat even if you're not hungry, and eat less." Wei Jia'an said, "Irregular diet is not good for the body. ”

"I still ate two small loaves of bread." Vera explained.

Buns, Dali Garden buns? It's just a snack at all, Wei Jia'an said, "Didn't you eat lunch?" I can't come back from overtime at noon, didn't I call you and tell you to go out to eat by yourself? Rice noodles, dumplings, wontons, fried noodles or fried noodles can also be fried, you won't order takeout, there is a fast food restaurant downstairs, and next to the fast food restaurant is lotus leaf rice. Although I don't think that lotus leaf rice is delicious, it should be a personal reason, I think the business is quite good. ”

"It rained all the time." Vera tilted her head slightly, and reached out to comb her gray hair, but not to tidy up her messy hair, but more like she was looking for trouble, "I don't have an umbrella." ”

Usually a person doesn't need two umbrellas, there were originally two umbrellas, one of which was convenient to keep on the tram, and then it was stolen, and there was no new one bought later, Wei Jia'an said: "My fault, I forgot to prepare an umbrella for you...... But even if it's raining, it's not very far, just go around to the faΓ§ade. I'll do the math and run past for a maximum of five seconds. And it's not like it's raining so heavily all day, so you can eat it when the rain is light. ”

Vera was silent for a while, wanting to say but not wanting to say, and finally slowly spoke: "When you go out, you have to wear a coat, you have to change your shoes, and when you come back, you have to take them off." "It's okay to stay in the room and wear a sweater, and it's far more comfortable to wear wool slippers than cold boots or sneakers.

"It's not too much trouble." Wei Jia'an said that in fact, he also felt that it was very troublesome to go out to change clothes and shoes.

"Go out and come back with wet shoes, step into the room and ask you to mop the floor." Simply caring about people, or have other ideas, such as expressing a meaning - hey, hey, hey, I'm doing this for your sake, I'm a reasonable person, not lazy, remember clearly, only Vera herself knows.

"I'm worried that my shoes will get wet and the room will be dirty when I step on it, so when I go upstairs, I will rub it a few more times on the mat on the stairs in the training class below, anyway, I have to rub there a few times every time I go upstairs and then go back to the room." Wei Jia'an made no secret of what he did to take advantage of others.

Vera said, "No, it's not good. ”

"What's wrong, if they have to put the mat outside, then they have to be prepared to rub it for others. Well blocked, the stairs belong to their house? Usually who doesn't put it in their own hallway, if they put the mat in their own training class, I can still enter their training class? It rings every day, at noon, and at night, and it's ugly, and it's annoying, I just want to rub them. Wei Jia'an complained, "This kind of urban village should not have a training class, I really want to report, but I don't know how to report it, what department to report." ”

"Looks like you've been holding a grudge for a long time." Vera said.

"Can't you hear it every day at home? The ugly sound of the guzheng is like pulling a big saw. Wei Jia'an said, "Aren't you annoyed?" ”

Vera said, "I didn't pay attention. ”

"It rings on weekdays, and it doesn't stop during nap time at noon, and it rings at night. I was yelled at a few times to stop, I guess it was a few minutes, and it sounded again...... Forget it, don't talk about that, it's annoying. What to eat at night and what do you want to eat? Wei Jia'an suddenly remembered something at this time, "Vera, you said you didn't eat lunch?" ”

"Hmm."

"So you played the game for a day and didn't stop halfway through?" Wei Jia'an asked.

"I just barely cleared it."

"Hah, I finally know why you suddenly don't want to play games." Wei Jia'an picked up a mandarin orange in his hand, and then pulled a piece of paper to wrap the mandarin orange, so as not to splash a hand of oil when peeling the mandarin.

"Why?" Vera said, "I don't know. ”

"The emptiness that follows madness." Wei Jia'an said while peeling the mandarin oranges, "I have encountered your situation before, as soon as you wake up in the morning, you play, play like crazy, don't eat, or eat a little casually, and play until the evening, and finally like you, suddenly feel that the game is boring." ”

"Another time, I remember best." Wei Jia'an said, "When I was in high school, I rarely had time to play, but it was rare to have time that day. I surfed the Internet for nearly twenty hours in one breath, and I didn't close my eyes, and now I think about it, I don't have sudden death. World of Warcraft, the game I used to play, from the morning of the first day to the early morning of the second day, after the dungeon, after doing the daily routine, I operated my little hunter to walk around the slums of Shattras, and I really suddenly didn't know what to do, and I felt bored for some reason. The Internet cafΓ© usually costs two dollars an hour, and the overnight discount from twelve to eight o'clock is only six yuan, and I don't get off the plane in advance, and I rarely get off the plane without playing until the end of the night. ”

"And then?" Vera asked, "You haven't played that game since?" ”

"How is that possible?" Wei Jia'an sneered, "After a day off, my classmates shouted, how can I be missing to save Azeroth?" ”

Wei Jia'an broke the flesh of the peeled mandarin orange with his hand, handed half of it out, and said, "Let's go, go out for a walk, let's go to the supermarket to buy something together, there is nothing in the refrigerator, and then help you buy an umbrella by the way." In your case, you can take it easy. ”

"Okay, I want to go too. But I don't think it's a matter of slowing down, I'm really bored. Vera took half of the mandarin orange handed over by Wei Jia'an and got up from her seat.

"I was the same at the time, and I didn't think the game was really interesting." Wei Jia'an thought for a while and said, "I told how to really put it down, not because I suddenly felt that the game was boring, but one day I suddenly realized that I hadn't played a game for a long time." ”

Vera thought thoughtfully.

The two of them went out and walked for a few minutes with umbrellas to the supermarket located in the next neighborhood. The rice is almost gone, and you have to buy some. You also have to buy a little bit of pasta, so it's a question of pumpkin pie or tortillas. I bought the dough cake and mixed the noodle sauce too. Standing in front of the supermarket fresh-keeping freezer, Wei Jia'an picked up the chicken and put it down, picked it up and ground the meat again, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Vera asked.

"I used to think that I had a choice difficulty, but then I found out that I was poor."

Next, the dinner was just a little casually, and after dinner, it was already more than seven o'clock, close to eight o'clock, Wei Jia'an looked at Vera who was standing by the window and moved her arms: "Is it better now?" ”

"What's better?"

Wei Jia'an asked, "Do you want to continue playing the game?" ”

"Nope." Vera said, "I still don't want to play, I really feel like that's what the game is." ”

"How about a different game?" The Wei family paused, "It seems that I haven't introduced that to you yet - STEAM." ”

At least for now, Wei Jia'an can still laugh, he doesn't know the day when he will regret being cocooned.
