Chapter 160: An Unfair World
In an entertaining game, the two sides played a bladder game, so that half of the soup in the hot pot was burned, and the beef and mutton were already cooked, but everyone's enthusiasm was even higher.
In the game just now, everyone could see that it was really a duel between the two auxiliaries, if it wasn't for Xu Kuan who had been carrying the rhythm of the red side, the red side would probably have played for another half an hour, and there would be no way to win the game. On the blue side, if it weren't for Ning Yu's very alternative style of play, with the old squad leader's Li Bai continuing to target the back row of the red side, and behaving enough in some key points, I'm afraid the blue side wouldn't have been able to hold out at all.
Although the old squad leader lost, because he had never played so happily, and he won the most people in the game, his mood was not bad, but very good. He didn't complain about the three teammates who were seriously holding back, he opened a bottle of beer with a smile and handed it to Ning Yu, and opened another bottle himself, and said very boldly: "Are you willing to lose the bet, let's go?" ”
"Let's go!" Ning Yu put away his mobile phone, took the wine bottle, and touched it lightly with the old squad leader.
"Wait a minute." Xu Kuan said suddenly, attracting everyone's attention.
Xu Kuan also opened a bottle of beer, got up and said, "Actually, in this game just now, we can't really win." We had such a big advantage in the lineup, and we were pushed to the brink a few times. So I suggest that we win or lose, let's all drink together. ”
They are all young people, and they are happy to drink when they come out, so naturally no one cares about drinking more or less bottles, so everyone got up and raised their glasses to avoid the embarrassment caused by the victory or defeat of the game, and pushed this drinking game on*.
"This kid has been outside for a year, not to mention whether he has grown up or not, it's really okay to deal with people." The old squad leader praised next to Ning Yu in a low voice.
Ning Yu smiled and nodded, did not answer, and only drank in a muffled voice.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere at the table was too good, or maybe it was because he drank too much wine, Ning Yu gradually let go of the unpleasantness that had happened before.
In life, you can't blame others for many things, and you can't insist that you are right, everything is fate.
"There is a good saying, what has happened is the best arrangement of fate, and what has been known is the most right person has ever met. The fact that we have been able to spend the most precious three years of our lives together, and who can still stay in touch and sit and drink together, is the right person in our lives, and we are doing the right thing. I suggest, everyone go one more! The old squad leader, who had already drunk too much, shook his chair and stood up, and got up to drink again.
Everyone shouted "yes" in unison, got up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and drank the wine in the glasses together.
Ning Yu felt that what the old squad leader said was right, and it really made sense when he thought about it carefully. If it weren't for so many things that happened at the beginning, he would not have been able to run home from the magic capital, and he would not have known that his father was bankrupt and his mother was seriously ill, and it would have been impossible for him to come back when he needed him the most at home, let alone study hard, and finally be admitted to Jiangbei University, a national key university, and it would have been impossible for him to know Tang Tang, nor would he have met so many lovely people and so many beautiful things in college.
Life is really wonderful, always blindly entangled in the past, really boring, want to live better, want to live a more colorful life, after all, you have to keep looking forward.
Ning Yu really saw it this time, so when the drunk Xu Kuan came to toast, he greeted him with a smile, and he also pulled Xu Kuan to sit next to him, chatting a lot, and knowing that Xu Kuan's more than a year was even more difficult than he imagined.
E-sports dreams can be big, but the e-sports circle is actually very small, so small that it can only accommodate a number of people, if you can't go all the way up, even if you just stand still, you can only be eliminated.
For more than a year, Xu Kuan really felt tired, and he even felt that if he could study with such high intensity and long time as he trained every day, he could also be admitted to a key university like Ning Yu, maybe his future would be completely different, and he didn't have to live in fear every day like now. It is precisely because he knows the hardships that Xu Kuan knows better that if he can't climb to the top of the pyramid at the end of the limited golden age of e-sports, the next few decades of his life will be dark, and even food and clothing will be a problem, not to mention dignity.
"Do you regret it?" When he went out to the toilet halfway, on the seat in the mall, Ning Yu asked Xu Kuan.
Xu Kuan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What do you regret or not regret?" If you choose, you can only run one way until dark. Ning Yu, in fact, I really envy you, the more I envy you, the more I hate myself. If I had chosen to stand up and speak for you, it would have been the two of us who would have left, not you. Maybe now I have been admitted to a good university, I can have a vigorous relationship, and then after graduation, I can find a job with a good income and live a plain but down-to-earth life. ”
Ning Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the past." ”
Xu Kuan shook his head and said: "I can't help but mention it, I've been holding back my heart for a long time, and I won't be happy if I don't say it." Ning Yu, tell me, why do many successful people say that the world is fair? If it's really fair, what do I want to climb up so desperately every day, like a grandson, to please everyone? The world is so unfair. The bad guys end up in the spotlight, and the good guys can only live a mediocre life, why is that? I later figured out that there is no good or bad in this world, only wins and losses. The winner is the one who falls in love with the high, and the loser can only get out of the way. ”
Ning Yu frowned and looked at Xu Kuan, who was so drunk, sighed and asked, "Aren't you living the life you wanted before?" ”
Xu Kuan smiled bitterly: "The life you want? Ridiculous esports dreams? Forget it, it's been worn out a long time ago. If you don't stand on the highest arena, no one is qualified to talk about your dreams. I now have a pitiful income every day, because I am not the main force, I am not treated anywhere, and I am tired of it. Ning Yu, the dream we talked about before, I don't have it anymore, it's long gone......"
The big boy who seemed to be sunny and happy, on the seat in the shopping mall, holding his head and lowering his head, tears couldn't stop flowing down, which made Ning Yu feel a little distressed.
Ning Yu always felt that the path taken to pursue his dream like Xu Kuan was the easiest road, and the one he chose to take was the most difficult road. Now it seems that it should not be easy for anyone.
"Talking about a girlfriend?" Ning Yu suddenly didn't want to continue the heavy topic about dreams, so he changed the topic and asked Xu Kuan.
Xu Kuan wiped his tears and said with some annoyance: "Find a fart girlfriend, where can you find it?" I train for more than ten hours a day, I want to sleep when I have a little time, I don't even have time to go out and buy a few clothes, and we don't have weekends and holidays, it's like going to jail. I really understand that sentence now. ”
"Which one?" Ning Yu asked curiously.
Xu Kuan said: "Never let your preferences become your own work. ”
"By the way, are you really separated from Xiaoxiao? I've heard what others say, and they won't let me ask you. Xu Kuan suddenly asked.
Ning Yu was stunned when he heard this, and there was a place in his heart that suddenly hurt a little, but he still barely squeezed out a smile: "It's divided, that's it." He has a new boyfriend, and I have a girlfriend, so I don't bother each other, and it's good for everyone. ”
"Huh? Do you have a girlfriend? Quick, show me. ”
Ning Yu took out his mobile phone, looked through Tang Tang's photo, and handed the mobile phone to Xu Kuan.
After Xu Kuan saw it, he slapped Ning Yu on the back hard, and said with a smile: "Okay, pickled girls are still so good." In high school, Xiaoxiao was the class flower of our class, and you took it down, causing many boys to cry every night holding the quilt. Now, it's estimated that the lowest level in your school is also the class flower level, right? ”
Ning Yu scratched his head a little shyly and smiled: "School flower." ”
The old squad leader happened to be swaying past at this time, and when he saw the two people on the seat, he ran over and grabbed one with one hand, and said with a smile: "I said where did you both go, it turned out that you were hiding here and whispering." Let's go, go back and drink, and sing when you're done! ”
Class reunions, especially during the winter holidays, are nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.
After a group of big boys left the hot pot restaurant drunk, they rushed to KTV and continued to have fun.
Ning Yu didn't know when he fell asleep, when he was woken up by the ghost crying wolf, he found that it was already night, and then looked around, there were not many people left, but empty wine bottles were all over the table, and two boys fell asleep together, which made Ning Yu's scalp numb for a while.
Wine is such a scary thing, and drinking too much can really make people look ugly. Ning Yu secretly swore that in the future, he would never let Tang Tang see that he drank too much, that would be too irresponsible.
After saying goodbye to his classmates, Ning Yu left the KTV, walked out of the gate of the mall in a sway, and took a taxi back home.
His parents had already arrived home, and his mother saw that he was not drinking well, so she helped him change his clothes and boiled honey water for him, and finally settled him into bed.
When young people are drunk, they don't fall asleep in bed like older people, but they feel like the world is spinning and they can't sleep.
Ning Yu sat up in a daze, and suddenly missed Tang Tang very much, so he took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Tang Tang, but found that there were more than a dozen messages from Tang Tang that he had never seen.
"I came back from shopping, and my mom bought me a nice set of clothes, do you want to see it?"
"Don't you want to see it? Why don't you get back to me? I'm going to be! ”
"What are you doing?"
"Villain, you dare not reply to my message, I'm angry! You're finished! ”
"Ning Yu, why didn't you answer the phone, what the hell happened to you."
“……”
Looking at the pieces of information, Ning Yu could clearly feel that Tang Tang really cared about him very much, and he also cared about him very much. His heart was warm, and at the same time, he felt a deep sense of guilt, feeling that he was really not a thing after he was drunk, and he dared to ignore Tang Tang's text messages.
He wanted to call Tang Tang, but seeing that it was already late, he sent a message: We had a class reunion, I drank high, I'm sorry, it won't be like this next time.
As soon as the news was sent, the phone rang, and it was Tang Tang calling.
"Hey, Tang Tang, don't you ......"
"Ning Yu, are you okay? How much alcohol have you drunk? Why don't you hide from wine, why do you drink so much......" Tang Tang's voice was a little hoarse, and he choked slightly, as if he had just cried.
Ning Yu felt even more guilty, interrupting Tang Tang's countless questions: "Tang Tang, I miss you." ”
After a few seconds of silence on the other side of the phone, when Ning Yu was getting more and more flustered, Tang Tang's laughter suddenly came: "Villain, why don't you miss me when you're drinking?" Don't you know, I miss you too? ”
