Since Wen Hao can remember, he has been under the stern reprimand of his father. Since he was a child, his father almost never spoke to him with a pleasant face, and as long as he spoke, he must have been reprimanded. The mother always complains to the father: Speak well to the baby, and the same words come out of your mouth, which makes people not like to listen.

My father was still the same.

In this way, under the reprimand of his father, Wen Hao learned to fall down and get up, learned to go to school with an umbrella by himself, learned to go to the field alone to do farm work, and learned to stand up in setbacks again and again.

Now, when he was facing another setback, facing a setback that could barely get back up, his father, who had always been stern, suddenly said in a gentle tone - if it's hard outside, go home.

Tears couldn't help but spread out of his eyes, and Wen Hao's heart was wrapped in warmth. At this moment, how he wanted to go back home, back to his parents, completely cut off those ridicule and expectations.

No matter how wonderful the outside world is, there is always a cruel side, but at all times, home is warm.

“……”

Wen Hao was silent, imagining the warmth of his home, and his confused heart seemed to finally have a direction.

After a long time, Wen Hao finally spoke: "Big, I can't go back......"

If he went back like this, he would not have the face to see his father at all, and he would not have the face to see his mother who had always worried about him. Even if you really can't play the ball and wash the dishes here, you can't just go back......

"Oh...... Then you are fine, no matter what it is, eat well and dress well, and your body is important. ”

"yes, I see, big." Tears were still streaming down, and it was rare to hear such warm words from my father.

“……”

“……”

The next thing was silent. 's father is not a good talker, and his father has always scolded Wen Hao since he was a child, and he lacks calm communication, so there is not much talk between the two. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"Alright, that's it, remember to call home more." After a moment of silence, the father finally spoke.

"Well, I will." Wen Hao nodded, as if his father could see it.

Hang up the phone and lie in bed with a flood of thoughts. From childhood to adulthood, scenes at home kept coming.

After a long time, Wen Hao shook his head: "No, you can't go back like this." ”

But what if you don't go back? His ideals had collapsed in the face of Paul's strength, and his self-confidence had long since ceased to exist. Even if you have the heart to cheer up, you can't cheer up at all in the face of such a big blow. I was already disheartened, and even had doubts about the meaning of my hard work over the years. In such a situation, how to cheer up.

I don't know how long it took, Wen Hao felt a little hungry.

"Hey, these are the only instincts that support my body now." Wen Hao sneered, got up, and walked outside.

Although it was already winter, the midday sun was still a little dazzling. It's a rare good weather in Houston. However, such good weather did not mean anything to Wen Hao. He subconsciously walked to the street where he often ate.

Standing at the corner of the street, he hesitated, not knowing which restaurant to go to. Although my stomach felt hungry, I didn't know what to eat.

"Hi, Wen Hao!"

Just as Wen Hao was hesitating, suddenly, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded behind him.

Wen Hao turned his head and saw a girl with black hair, blue eyes, tall but not thin, standing in front of him with a smile.

Speaking from the heart, this girl is indeed very beautiful, especially with such a smile, such as spring flowers in March and drizzle in May, she is really beautiful to the extreme.

However, at this time, Wen Hao didn't have the heart to look at this at all, he was a little puzzled, and said, "Hello, you...... How do you know my name? ”

"You told me, don't you remember?" When the girl said this, there was a slight loss in her voice.

"I told you?" Wen Hao searched in his slowly squirming mind, and he didn't remember that he knew such a girl.

The girl saw that Wen Hao really couldn't remember, so she had to say to herself: "Owl Restaurant, you saved me, did you forget?" ”

"......" Wen Hao thought for a moment before suddenly saying, "Oh, it's you." ”

"Finally remembered." The girl looked very happy, "You saved me, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Oh, no thanks." Wen Hao said to the girl casually, his eyes casually scanned both sides of the street.

"Haven't you had lunch yet?" The girl asked, "I ask you to thank you for saving me." ”

"I ......"

"Don't shirk it, it's decided, let's go to our owl restaurant. Oh yes, my name is Elena. ”

Elena couldn't help but say, and pulled Wen Hao towards the owl restaurant not far away.

"I really didn't recognize it last time, so you turned out to be an NBA player." Elena said as she walked, she seemed to be very talkative.

"Hey......" Wen Hao's smile didn't know whether it was a sneer or a bitter smile.

Elena didn't seem to notice and continued: "I watched your first few games later, and I really didn't expect you to play basketball so well! ”

Wen Hao frowned, he subconsciously felt that this was sarcasm.

"Your volleyball-style passing, as well as your no-looking passing, opened the eyes of my sisters and me, and before we watched your game, we really couldn't have imagined that there were people in the world who played like this."

"Really?" Wen Hao's brows relaxed slightly.

"My sisters and I love watching you play. You're handsome, you're beautiful, we're all your fans. ”

"Oh." Wen Hao still responded lightly, and now he could hear that this girl's words were not sarcastic.

But even so, he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic: "Don't you know? I challenged Paul's things. His brow furrowed, and his heart tingled. This is what he is most afraid of people mentioning these days. But instead of letting others talk about it in front of you, it's better to say it yourself. But even if I said it myself, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.

"Yes," said the girl casually, "I think you have the courage to challenge Paul, at least." ”

"Hey," Wen Hao sneered again, "That's not guts, it's blind confidence, it's arrogance." ”

"Maybe. You've realized your mistake though, haven't you? I think people like you, as long as you realize your mistakes, you will definitely try to correct them, and you can't indulge in mistakes forever and can't extricate yourself. ”

"Really?" Wen Hao was still noncommittal, and although Elena's words touched his heart a little, they were not enough to cheer him up.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the owl restaurant. Looking around, the girls in orange hot pants and white vests were displayed in front of Wen Hao like works of art.
