Zhang Xiaoming went down the mountain in a daze, made a lot of detours before walking to the bridge, and then touched the handrail on the stone bridge to cross the river, and walked another mile before finally coming to the town.

At this time, it was already half past eight in the evening, and Xiao Ming was so hungry that he choked.

He came to the bus stop to wait for the bus, and waited for nearly half an hour before a bus came, and the bus was full of people and refused to take Xiao Ming, so Xiao Ming had to swallow his anger and wait for the next bus.

"It's dead, it's dead, I'm going to be scolded to death by my father when I go back this time!" Zhang Xiaoming looked at the bus in the distance helplessly and said to himself helplessly.

After all, his father in the family was the strictest with him and he was also very deadly, so Xiao Ming grew up so big, he never tried not to go home for dinner, nor did he try to go home after nine o'clock.

Although he would sometimes sneak out at night, that was when his father was on the night shift. Usually when his father was at home, he didn't dare to do that.

Because his father had a temper, even the king of Yama had to retreat when he saw it, so Zhang Xiaoming never dared to disobey his father, and basically followed his father in everything.

Of course, Xiao Ming is not disobedient on the surface, obedient on the surface, and behind the scenes he is a very rebellious young man, but this rebellious young man has a sloppy appearance, so people are often very surprised by what he does.

In particular, he often led his classmates to skip school to fight LOL, which in the eyes of his parents was impossible. After all, in the eyes of their parents, Xiao Ming is just a flute, stupid and dull in reading, and naturally he is not good at studying, even if he works and studies in the room every night, he still can't get any good grades.

In fact, how did their parents know that Zhang Xiaoming's "employment" in his room every day was not to read books and study, but to quietly play LOL games in the room.

So for Xiao Ming's "employment" was discovered, his father was so angry that he almost broke off relations with him and wanted to drive him out, but fortunately, his kind mother and gentle sister cried and pleaded left and right, and his father reprimanded him fiercely.

Because of what happened like this, and now he is approaching graduation and the college entrance examination, so his father doesn't want to let Xiao Ming go out during the holiday. It's just that Zhang Xiaoming made many excuses, and finally coaxed his father, saying that he was going to the town to buy study materials, so he found a reason to go out.

Of course, he promised his father that he would come back for dinner before seven o'clock in the evening......

It's just that it's nine o'clock now, Xiao Ming is still waiting for the train in the station, his stomach is almost hungry, but he doesn't dare to buy food at the station at will.

Because everything here is more expensive than the outside, and he has no other money left except for the money for the car, and some of them have been spent on a stall to buy a pirated reference book that does not seem to match the price of the book.

Xiao Ming is tired and hungry now, and he has been waiting for a long, long time, until he finally has the car to go home.

After sitting bumpily for forty minutes, Xiao Ming finally returned to his familiar territory, although there were not many pedestrians on the road at this time, Xiao Ming saw his familiar figure in the dark:

Zeng Hongchao, Yang Dongliang, Zhao Jianguo, and Tian Weimin!

These are their dream team mates!

It's been such a night, why are they still together?

Zhang Xiaoming looked at them and forgot about going home, and suddenly, a ghost idea came to mind, wanting to follow them secretly and scare them.

Since there was no light on this road, it was very dark, and Xiao Ming's footsteps were very light, so they didn't notice that Xiao Ming was secretly following them.

"Actually, we're going too far, aren't we?!" Yang Dongliang said while shaking the bag in his hand.

"Yes, I lost the game, I think I'm really sorry for Xiao Ming!" Zhao Jianguo said.

"Hey, don't say it, I really think we're sorry for him." Tian Weimin lined up Yang Dongliang with the plastic bag in his hand, and sighed: "The game was lost, although Xiao Ming said that it was okay at that time, in fact, he must have been heartbroken, otherwise why would he not come back with us, saying that he wanted to visit Qingping Town alone?!" ”。

Zhang Xiaoming listened, but he didn't expect that they hadn't been worried about this matter, in fact, Xiao Ming had already figured it out early on, after all, they were all going all out, although they lost, they had already tried their best, and they couldn't be blamed for it at all.

Xiao Ming was indeed very sad when he lost that game, but he never blamed anyone, if he did, then he could only blame himself!

Xiao Ming was afraid that they would misunderstand too deeply and blame themselves too much, so he wanted to go forward and explain to them, but at this time, Zeng Hongchao said: "Since we have all done it, let's not blame ourselves too much, it is wrong for us to deliberately lose, but what if we really win?" Do you really give up the college entrance examination, participate in the competition with Xiao Ming, and become a professional player?! ”。

They bowed their heads and did not answer.

Sometimes, though, not answering is the best answer.

"We know that Xiao Ming is very good, but we can't go crazy with him!" Zeng Hongchao said meaningfully: "Although sometimes I don't want to take the exam and go to school, I don't have the determination to do it, after all, everyone is squeezing into this boat now, if you don't get on this boat, you are an outlier!" ”

"Besides, is it really easy to take another path now?" Zeng Hongchao continued: "How many self-made people without a diploma can really make a name for themselves and make a lot of money? Yes, there is, but very little, very little! And when esports players can become famous, there are even fewer of them! Therefore, it is better to take the path taken by ordinary people...... What's more, to put it mildly, with our kind of skill, even if we didn't deliberately release water to the other party, wouldn't we still lose that game against the Eagles?! ”。

"Yes, the Eagles are indeed very strong, and we will naturally lose against them, but what kind of garbage team did we encounter in the Internet café yesterday, will we lose?! Is it necessary for us to release water?! Yang Dongliang said loudly: "We shouldn't have deceived Xiao Ming at that time!" ”。

"Do you think I want to do this?!" Zeng Hongchao roared: "I can't help it!" Because we play League of Legends, our grades have regressed so much now, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to read both books! If you want to be a professional like Xiao Ming, you can compete with all your might, but if you want to go to college, you can't win! ”。

Everyone was silent for a while......

After a while, Yang Dongliang said with tears in his eyes: "I suddenly feel that I am despicable!" You guys are also despicable! In order to make Xiao Ming die, and we didn't dare to make it clear to him in person, we did such a despicable thing as deliberately releasing water! ”。

Zhao Jianguo patted Yang Dongliang on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't talk about it...... Don't say ......".

"Yes, don't say ......".

"Hey, let him pass in the past...... In the future, we will compensate Xiao Ming well...... He must not be allowed to know about this ......."

"Yes, don't let him know ......."

Yang Dongliang left tears at this time, and sobbed: "But I think I'm still ashamed of Xiao Ming!" ”。

The moonlight is bleak and the breeze is blowing.

In this dark corner of the small street, Zhang Xiaoming looked at their departing figures, his whole body was frightened into a lot of cold sweat, and he couldn't help shedding a lot of tears......
