Mu Shizhen, the rich son of the Xuanwu Kingdom, likes to play e-sports very much, but now he finds that he is no longer Wei Taiqiang's most popular e-sports player, he can't help but feel a little sad, after all, in his mind, he and Wei Taiqiang still have a so-called brotherhood in it.

However, that Wei Taiqiang didn't think like that, he thought that he had given that Mu Shizhen enough help, of course, that Mu Shizhen also admitted this, but that Mu Shizhen was a dignified man after all, he couldn't bend like Huang Keer, this is what Huang Keer and these beauties are best at.

That Huang Keer is indeed very talented in this regard, but that Wei Taiqiang is not just because that Huang Keer is a good fart, he invests resources in that Huang Keer in a daze, in that Wei Taiqiang's heart, that investment must be rewarded, he will not waste his time to do those unnecessary things in vain, all his investment must be rewarded, because that Wei Taiqiang is a smart person.

Mu Shizhen's e-sports club did a good job, every time he appeared in that e-sports live broadcast room, many people cheered him on, Mu Shizhen should have been satisfied with this, but that Mu Shizhen was a little dissatisfied because Wei Taiqiang gave that Huang Keer more resources.

He found that Huang Ke'er, an e-sports player from the Xuanwu Kingdom, had now become the most trusted person under Wei Taiqiang, and he was still a little envious.

Yefim, the e-sports tycoon of the Polar Bear Country, knows that there are many rich second generations, and they always rely on their own families and can do whatever they want, so they habitually look down on people, but in the e-sports industry, this will not work, and the e-sports industry depends on strength.

Moreover, it was not enough for her husband to separate himself from his friends, who she had to snatch from him. The most honest women sometimes have an instinct to force them to do as much as possible, even excessively. As a result of this abuse of power, their weaknesses show their strength. If she is a selfish, arrogant woman, she will find it a great pleasure to steal the friendship of her husband's friends. It's easy: just a few glances are enough. Regardless of whether the man is honest or not, it is rare for him not to take the bait; Friends, despite confidants, despite being able to avoid action, have always deceived his friends in thought. If the friend finds out, the friendship between the two sides will be over: they will see each other in a different light. The woman who plays this dangerous trick often stops at this point, and there is no further action: she takes two men whose friendship has broken down in her hands and manipulates them at will.

Tu Tuqiao noticed Cao Wangrong's affection and was not surprised. When he once had a good impression of someone, he had a naïve tendency to think that people would love him uselessly. So seeing Cao Wangrong so attentive, he also expressed the same courtesy, thinking that she was very cute and having fun with her. As a result, he had a good impression of her, and almost thought that Liu Tienan's inability to be happy was due to Liu Tienan's own clumsiness.

He accompanied them on a short trip by car for a few days. Xue Yulang's family has an old house in the countryside, which is kept just because it is a monument of his hometown, and he usually doesn't live there: Tutuqiao is a guest there. The house is lonely in the middle of the vineyard and the forest; The interior is dilapidated and the windows are not tightly closed; There was a musty, cool, sun-scorched resinous smell everywhere. After a few days with Cao Wangrong, Tu Tuqiao gradually felt a sweet emotion, but his spirit was not agitated; He looked at her, listened to her, touched the beautiful body, breathed her breath, quite an innocent, but also a little carnal pleasure. Liu Tienan was a little worried and didn't say a word. He had no suspicion, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to admit it. He didn't think he should be so worried, so he deliberately let them be alone all the time. Cao Wangrong saw what was on his mind and felt very moved, and wanted to say to him: "Hey, friend, don't be sad." I still love you. ”

But she didn't say it: the three of them listened to let themselves take risks: Tu Tuqiao had no suspicions, and Cao Wangrong didn't know what she wanted, so she had the heart to get anywhere; Liu Tienan is the only one who has foresight and a hunch, but for the sake of self-esteem and love, he is unwilling to think about it. But when the will is silent, instinct speaks; When the mind is not here, the body moves freely.

One night, after dinner, everyone thought that the night view was beautiful,—— there was no moon, and the sky was full of stars,—— and they all wanted to go to the garden. Liu Tienan and Tu Tuqiao had already walked out of the house. Cao Wangrong went upstairs to get a scarf, and she didn't come down for a long time. Tu Tuqiao, who hates women who are slow to move, goes into the house to find her. - (Recently, he has unknowingly taken on the role of husband). - He heard her coming over there. But in the room he entered, the blinds were all closed, and he couldn't see anything. "Hey! Come on, my wife who can't finish cleaning up," Tu Tuqiao shouted with a grin. "You keep looking in the mirror, aren't you afraid of looking at the mirror badly?"

She didn't answer and stopped. Tu Tuqiao thought she was already in the house, but she stood still.

"Where are you?" He asked. "What permission?" Wei Taiqiang said quietly. "Your work belongs to me."

"It's mine, too!"

"No," Wei Taiqiang said in a mild tone.

Tu Tuqiao jumped up: "What, my work will not belong to me?" ”

"You sold them."

"You're kidding me! What I sold you was paper. You're going to make money with it, just make it. But what is written on paper is my blood, and it is mine. ”

, as the price of your soldness. Under these conditions, you have given me all the rights to the work, without any restrictions and without any reservations. ”

"Even the right to destroy it?"

Wei Taiqiang shrugged, rang the bell, and said to a clerk, "Bring Mr. Cravto's case file." ”

, coffee shop concerts, dance halls, theaters, etc., corrected, modified to fit any instrument, or added lyrics, or changed titles, or ...... All of them are handled freely by Wei Taiqiangjun and have nothing to do with anyone......"

"You see," he said, "I'm still very polite." ”

"Yes," Tu Tuqiao said, "I have to thank you." You can also change my septet to a minor tune from a café concert. ”

He was silent, holding his head in his hands in embarrassment, and said repeatedly, "I have sold my soul." ”

"Don't worry," Wei Taiqiang said sarcastically, "I will never abuse my rights." "What's the matter, friend?"

"Alas, Liu Tienan is back."

"Coming back?"

"This morning he came and said to me: Tutuqiao, help me! - I hugged him. He cried and said, "I only have you." She's gone......"

Mrs. Arno was taken aback, clasped her hands together and said, "Poor place! ”

"She's gone," Tu Tuqiao added, "and she's gone with her mistress." ”

"And what about her children?"

"Her husband, her children, she left them all behind."

"Poor woman!" Mrs. Arno said again.

"He always loved her, only her," Tu Tuqiao said. The blow made it impossible for him to get up. He kept telling me: Tu Tuqiao, she deceived me...... My best friend cheated on me. - I told him in vain: since she deceived you, she is not your friend but your enemy. Forget her, or kill her! ”

"Oh! Tutu Bridge, what do you say? That's cruel! "But it is not our fault: a woman's loneliness is not due to willfulness, but to necessity; She has to make a living on her own, she doesn't rely on men, and the environment is more lonely and suffocating. The middle class is closed to women who work hard to support themselves; It looked at them with suspicion and contempt, maliciously spying on their every move. Colleagues in the boys' secondary school were alienated from them, either because they were afraid of gossip from the outside world, or because they were secretly hostile, or because they were rude, and had a habit of sitting in coffee shops and gossiping, or because they were tired after a long day's work, and because they were disgusted with intellectual women, and so on. And they are not compatible with each other, especially when they live in school dormitories. Headmistresses are often the least aware of the enthusiasm of young people, and do not understand that they are discouraged by this withered profession and inhuman loneliness at the beginning; She made them suffer in secret, did not want to help, only thought they were proud. None of them cared. They have no property, no social connections, and cannot marry. The sheer number of working hours leaves them no time to create a spiritual life for themselves to rely on and comfort. Such a life, if it is not supported by religious or moral anomalous sentiments,—— I say unusual, in fact it should be said to be perverted and pathological: for it is contrary to nature to sacrifice a man in his entirety—and this woman who takes the suffering of others as her own, this innocent person who vows to atone for the selfish sins of mankind, do you know how people criticize her? The public's malice slandered her for making money in her career, and even said that she exploited those she protected. She had to leave the area and move elsewhere in frustration...... You can never imagine how cruel and independent women are fighting against today's old-fashioned, heartless society,—— and this lifeless and dying society has to use what little power it has to prevent others from living! ”

"Poor friend, this fate is not unique to women, and we have all tasted these struggles. But I also know the place of refuge. ”

"Where is the place to take refuge?"

"Art."

"It's for you, not for us. How many men can get its benefits? ”

"For example, our friend Cao Jiao. She is happy. ”

"What do you know? Yes! You draw conclusions about a person too easily! Because she is brave, because she does not always grasp her sadness, because she hides from others, you say that she is happy! Yes, she is happy because she is strong and because she can struggle. But her struggle is something you don't know. Do you think she was born to deserve this deceitful life of art? Drink, art! Some poor women hope to become famous by writing, acting, and singing, thinking that is the pinnacle of happiness! Is it, then, that they deprived of everything else, so that they do not know what to give their affections? …… Art! What good is art alone to us if we don't have everything else at the same time? There's only one thing in the world that makes you forget everything else: a cute little doll. ”

"But with the doll, you don't think it's enough."

"Yes, having children is not necessarily enough...... Women are not always very happy. It's so hard to be a woman, it's a lot harder than being a man. You don't think much of that. You, you can forget everything for the sake of thinking and doing. You have made yourselves crippled, but you are happy. But it is painful for an able-bodied woman to come to such a situation. It's against humanity to crush a part of yourself. O us, when we are happy in one way, we regret that we can't be happy in another way. We have several souls. There is only one of you, and stronger, often rough, even cruel. I admire you. But you must not be too selfish! You don't think about how selfish you are. You have unintentionally given people a great deal of pain. ”

"What's the solution? That's not our fault. ”

"Yes, Tutu Bridge, that's not your fault, and it's not ours. At the end of the day, you see, life is not an easy thing. People say you just have to live your own life. But what is natural? "Love life, love the light, love your humble tasks, love the little land where you plant your roots! If you can't develop horizontally, you have to work the deep and high side, like a tree in a cramped corner rising towards the sun! ”

"Yes. Let's love each other first. Oh that the man would consider himself a woman's brother and not her captive or master! May men and women reject pride and think less of themselves and more of others! We are all weak and we have to help each other. Do not say to those who have fallen to the ground: I don't know you anymore. It should be said: take courage, friend. We're going to get through it. ”

They stopped talking, and sat facing the fireplace, and the kittens crouched among them, and everyone stood still, looking at the fire. The flames that were about to be extinguished shimmered on Mrs. Arnold's delicate face; The inner excitement that she usually didn't have made her face a little red. She wondered how she could confide in her confidants like this. She had never said so much, and she would never say so much in the future.

She put her hand on Tu Tuqiao's hand and asked, "What will you do with that child?" ”
