Chapter Twenty-Eight: Choice and Farewell I
Seeing his mother's face constantly changing, Wei Yi's mood continued to fluctuate. Sure enough, Wei Mu looked at Wei Yi, who was looking forward to it, and said with some hesitation: "You have done so much homework to persuade your mother, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into it." It's rare that you're sensible, not just fooling around, and of course my mother can't support you, but. ”
"But what?" Mother's words made Wei Yi a little impatient, and hurriedly said, "Mom! As long as you agree, I won't come without making a difference. ”
Looking at Wei Yi's sworn expression, Wei Mu smiled with some emotion and said, "Your idea is still good, and it is worth encouraging." The development of technology is indeed influencing the way sports are competitive. If you really want to try to develop this industry, it's not impossible, but once you think about it, it is impossible for you to use your family relationship to give you the green light when you go to Shanghai, everything has to be fought for by your own strength. Can you do this? Wei Mu said patiently.
Although he was surprised by his mother's indulgence and pampering of him, Wei Yi's heart was still full of emotion. As a mother, she always blindly satisfies her son's vexatious trouble, although it is more like a kind of doting, but what Wei Yi needs most now is the seemingly unreasonable support at home.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wei Yi agreed with an affirmative look on his face.
Looking at her son's solemn expression, Wei's mother shook her head helplessly and continued: "If you do this, it is best to find an agent. You yourself have to try to keep a low profile and not be in the limelight. ”
Mother's request made Wei Yi a little dumbfounded, thinking that if her old man knew that his son had become famous on the Internet as the Emperor of River Crabs, I don't know if he would want to smoke himself to death now.
But Wei Yi categorically didn't dare to say it now, so he could only be cheeky and continue to accept it.
"If you dare to mess around in Shanghai, don't talk about your father, your mother and I will go to Shanghai to clean you up first, you know?" Wei Mu said with a serious expression.
"Got it!" Wei Yi learned from his mother and said with a straight face.
Mother Wei watched her son's funny movements, but she still couldn't help laughing. Looking at her son, who was already more and more like a tall young man, Wei's mother sighed and said, "Mom has agreed, but your father still has to decide the affairs of our family, so what." ”
Although the mother wanted to speak and stopped, Wei Yi didn't know whether the mother was mentioning that she mainly had to persuade her father, but since the mother voted in favor of this matter, Wei Yi was more confident.
Touched by his mother's unconditional support for his uncompetitive rebel, Wei Yi leaned on his mother's shoulder with some emotion, thinking that he would soon leave home for Shanghai, and there seemed to be a strong reluctance in his heart.
Mother Wei lowered her head and looked at her son who seemed to never grow up with a smile, and her heart was full of emotion.
After returning home, Wei Yi has been chatting with her in her mother's room. The mother and son turned over and over again just to talk about some of Wei Yi's troubles when he was an hour, although he was about to memorize them. But Wei Yi doesn't care, now he can find time to accompany his mother, and the mother and son are just chatting in the sun in this way, this feeling is something that Wei Yi has not experienced for a long time since he was reborn, and it makes him have a lazy sense of comfort from the heart.
They laughed and chatted like this, until the sun was setting in the west, and Wei Yi was getting up and returning to his room.
Sitting on the balcony in the room, looking at the clouds on the horizon, Wei Yi couldn't calm down in his heart. Wait a while for my dad to come back, and it's up to me whether the words I've prepared for so many days can have the effect I expect tonight, and this will also be the biggest test I've encountered since I was reborn.
Jiangcheng, the gorgeous night scene along the river reflects the endless flow of people, making the city more prosperous.
At this time, the other riverside avenue across the river from the noisy night scene seems to be a little quiet. As the political core of the entire Jiangcheng, looking at the buildings hidden in the night across the river, you seem to feel a trace of solemnity and solemnity.
In this black building, Wei Yi was sitting by the window and enjoying this rare dinner with his family.
Although my parents have returned from other places, the dishes on the table are not much different from usual. The atmosphere at the table was also very quiet, no one spoke. The family just ate in silence.
Wei Yi was not used to such a serious and rigid party, and in his heart he hoped that the family banquet should be lively and lively.
Picking up the rice in the bowl casually, Wei Yi glanced at everyone and found that everyone had eaten almost enough. So, Wei Yi kept giving his mother a look.
Looking at her son's eyes, Wei's mother put down the chopsticks in her hand a little helplessly and said, "Old Wei, our family is here today!" There are some things I want our son to talk to you about. ”
"Oh?" Wei Zongqi also put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Wei Yi quietly.
Facing everyone's eyes, Wei Yi said with some embarrassment: "Hmm! Dad, I discussed it with Mom. My mom also supported me not to go to the UK. ”
Wei Zongqian turned his head to look at his wife, and his eyes revealed a meaningful feeling. It's as if he's guessed that my mother will turn against me.,And I'm disappointed that my mother changed her mind.。
Mother Wei glanced over her head and didn't dare to look at her husband. Wei Zongyu glanced at her and stopped looking at her, turning his head to look at his son, who had always been uncompetitive in his influence.
Being a little uncomfortable being stared at by his father's deep gaze, Wei Yi didn't know what to say for a while.
The old mother was the first to interrupt the silent atmosphere: "Old Wei, my son is now grown up, and he has some ideas of his own, I think we should respect it." I've been talking to Ah Yi about this all day today, and you can listen to his thoughts! I think it's still very good and insightful. ”
Seeing his mother cheering him up, Wei Yi hurriedly continued: "Dad, I'm not going to the UK. I want to go to Shanghai, I have some ideas, I want to rely on myself to go out and break through, which can be regarded as my own experience. ”
didn't wait for his father to speak, but Wei Cong on the side sneered, which made Wei Yi embarrassed for a while.
Wei Zongqian said in a somewhat surprised tone: "Go to Shanghai? Well, tell me what you think. ”
Wei Yi didn't expect that his father seemed to be quite interested, as if he saw hope, Wei Yi hurriedly continued: "Dad, do you know about e-sports? Now the hottest sunrise industry, but the domestic is just in its infancy. ”
Listening to his son's words, Wei Zongqi was even more surprised, and said with a surprised face: "I didn't expect you to pay attention to this kind of thing." Of course, I know that e-sports are game-based sports bred by the Internet! However, the development of technology is not enough to make him comparable to traditional sports competitions, and to put it bluntly, it is not a game. ”
Wei Yi was quite surprised that his father knew so much about this business. At his height, he often doesn't have much interest in exploring emerging fields. This is also a local phenomenon in China! However, looking at his father's not very disgusted attitude, Wei Yi felt that as long as he repeated what he said to his mother, he could change his father's concept of traditional e-sports, and his dream would be just around the corner.
Wei's mother on the side also seemed to have an unexpected change with her husband, so she hurriedly said: "Old Wei, you have some discriminatory concepts in it!" Our son told me today, what is technology for this? Son, hurry up and say it again to your dad. ”
Seeing that the wind direction continued to shift to his side, Wei Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Speaking of this technology." ”
Without waiting for Wei Yi to continue, Wei Zongqi stretched out his hand to stop him and continued. With a slight smile on his face, he said, "Do you want to do this?" So do you want to be a practitioner? Or be at the helm? ”
Dad's face made Wei Yi a little uncertain, looking at the smile on his face, Wei Yi seemed to feel as if things were developing more smoothly than he imagined. However, the momentum of everything under control exuded by his father now made him a little uneasy.
With some apprehension, Wei Yi hesitated and said: "I want to be a practitioner, participate in competitions to prove myself, and prove e-sports." ”
After listening to his son's words, Wei Zongqi nodded and continued: "Although it is very beautiful. But it can't hide the fact that you're obsessed with gaming. ”
Dad's words made Wei Yi a little stunned, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself. Wei Zongqi continued: "Dad is asking you now, although there is a specialization in the art industry, is there also a difference between the difficulty and the ease of this art industry?" ”
Wei Yi didn't know how to argue, so he had to nod.
"Okay, I'll ask you again." Wei Zongxuan's face was still cloudy, and he said lightly: "Within the scope of your understanding, is it easier to study hard for ten years, in exchange for a whole body of talent, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations?" Or is it easier for you to make a little money by playing games, and do nothing? ”
His father's interrogation made Wei embarrassed. If he really was just a naughty child, he would definitely bow his head and admit his mistake at this moment. But he wasn't. As a human being in two lives, he is no longer the boy who is confused on the road of youth, of course he can distinguish the weight. But he's not for himself! He is a brother who has been with him for more than ten years, and for the regret and apology in their hearts.
Wei Yi thought that he couldn't let go of the shackles on his body, and in the face of the storm in front of him, Wei Yi could only bite the bullet and say: "I think things are man-made, the two are actually similar, as long as"
"Ridiculous!" Wei Zongqi stood up abruptly and interrupted Wei Yi's words, and the dishes on the table trembled with shock.
The atmosphere of the entire restaurant changed suddenly, as if it had suddenly frozen, and everyone did not dare to take a breath. This is not only the prestige of a parent in this family, but also the courage of a feudal official with great authority and outstanding achievements.
Wei Zongqi took a long sigh of relief and said: "Your grandfather followed the chairman's Long March back then, the weather was cold, and he was hungry all over the wilderness, and he didn't forget to study. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the chairman met him in Beijing and praised him for his poetry and writing; Your grandfather has been a teacher all his life, but he has been working endlessly; Your father and I, when my family was poor, followed by the neighbor's aisle reading, and I still couldn't put the book down. You asked me today if I could give up school and play games, how did you ask me to answer you? ”
Father's words made Wei Yi full of guilt, but he couldn't back down! He has his own things that he has to hold onto, and those are the motivation that sustains him in the aisle now.
Wei Zongqi continued: "There is no distinction between high and low in the art industry, but there are difficulties and difficulties. My Wei family is a family, I don't seek glory and wealth, I only ask eight words, I am diligent and self-reliant, and I have lofty ambitions. I will ask you today, are you worthy of your grandfather, is it worthy of the Wei family's years of cultivation of you, do you feel that your current thoughts have made the whole family ashamed of you. ”
Father's words knocked on Wei Yi's heart word by word. He really wanted to say that in fact, he was not surnamed Wei, so he didn't need to carry so much. But he stole Wei Yi's life, and he was destined to bear the responsibility on him.
"From now on, before you and Aozen go to the UK, you may take another half step out of the house." Wei Zongqian looked at his son who lowered his head and didn't say a word, snorted coldly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Seeing that her husband seemed to be extremely angry, Wei's mother hurriedly got up and chased after him, but she didn't forget to turn around and give her son an encouraging look.
Wei Cong looked at the family banquet that had already ended in a 'lively' manner, turned his head and threw a disdainful look at his uncompetitive brother, and then got up and went upstairs.
Now there are only two people in the entire restaurant, Wei Yi and Qing Ran. Wei Yi looked at the wall clock on the wall in a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking, and Qing Dye on the side was also silent.
I don't know how long I sat before Wei Yi got up and prepared to go upstairs. At the moment when he stepped on the stairs, there was a faint voice behind him: "Do you really want to go to England so much?" ”
Wei Yi knew that Qing Ran had misunderstood that he was just using going to Shanghai as an excuse to refuse to go to the UK, but he was in no mood to explain it now, so he could only say with some frustration: "I just want to go to Shanghai." After saying that, he ignored the blue dye, and turned to go upstairs.
