Chapter 227: Routine
Wang Ge, as a normal man and a young man with strong blood, actually does not resist being alone with a cute girl at all.
He just resisted the awkwardness that followed when that happened.
But this awkward atmosphere has always been caused by the "cowardice" in the character of the king pigeon.
There are opportunities, and there are many of them, but the king pigeon doesn't know how to take advantage of them. Maybe he didn't want to grasp it.
Since Wang Ge answered Ma Rulin's question, the two of them fell silent. Ma Rulin was still staring at the screen of her mobile phone, looking at the screen as if she was chatting with someone, and the typing speed was very fast, and the specific content of the king pigeon could not be seen clearly.
And the king pigeon can only sit on the bed in a daze, the mobile phone is placed on the coffee table outside and forgot to bring it in, and he is embarrassed to go out to get it now, and he doesn't even have an object to pass the time, so he can only be in a daze here.
The two of them were silent for five or six minutes, and they didn't say a word. However, the king pigeon quickly adapted to the silence, after all, it was not the first time that this had happened to him.
"So, what about the photo?" Since Wang Ge didn't know about this blind date, and even coaxed and deceived him into participating, then the two of them could be regarded as sympathy, Ma Rulin didn't have too much disgust for Wang Ge, and the two of them knew each other when they were young, although they had long forgotten after so many years.
Wang Ge had a bitter face, "How can there be a photo, Uncle Ma must be talking nonsense." Wang Ge didn't tell a lie, all the photos at home were in the album under the TV cabinet in the living room, and at that time Wang Ge didn't remember what photos he had taken with Ma Ruolin.
Ma Rulin also smiled, looking up and pointing to the guitar hanging on the wall, "You still play this?"
Wang Ge smiled embarrassedly, "Where can I play, I just bought it and put it there." ”
"Do you like to play games, League of Legends or chicken?" said Ma Rulin, pointing to the computer in front of her.
"The configuration four years ago, the configuration can't keep up, you can't play anything, you can only watch the video, you can brush the web page or something. The king pigeon sighed, and it seemed that he was really a very boring person.
Marjulin was stunned, she was already trying her best to find a common thread with the king pigeon. In her impression, although Wang Ge is not a boy who speaks well and does things beautifully, and has a bright head, he is not such a person.
The man in front of him has no house, no car, no interests and no hobbies, and there should be no problem with his character, but this is a little too wooden!
Ma Rulin is not a girl of any power, and she does not require the future other half of the family to be rich and rich, and even have no house and car, as long as the person is good enough, it is not impossible for two people to work hard together.
But there is only one thing, this person cannot be boring, he cannot have no common language at all. The king pigeon doesn't even look like a young man of the same age, although he doesn't look like it either.
Originally, Ma Rulin thought that if Wang Ge was not too bad and could still speak, he could try to have a relationship, but now it seems that there is no hope at all.
But at the same time, Marjulin became a little interested in the king pigeon.
Of course, this interest is not because she has any feelings for the king pigeon.
"King pigeon, it's the twenty-first century, and we're both the same. How the hell do you survive?" Ma Rulin spoke very straight, without a single minus, she just wanted to know how a person like a king pigeon could continue to exist in this world?
She had never met such a person in her life. It's more than she could have imagined.
In fact, if Wang Ge hadn't encountered those bizarre things, hadn't seen Lan Xin being knocked away, hadn't seen her soul, hadn't seen Xuzi, and hadn't accepted this bet about life and death, his life might have been the same as that of an ordinary young man in his twenties.
Find a job that is easier and the income is okay, save some money, buy some of your favorite accessories to upgrade your computer, find the most popular games to play at the moment, find a bunch of friends on the Internet and in reality, play games, listen to music, go to parties, older young people can't find a girlfriend and start a blind date, and finally find someone who feels like to get married, and live their ordinary and unusual life.
This is how the king pigeon's life should be.
But everything changed because of that bet.
In the eyes of the current king pigeon, what lights are bright and green, what game life, after seeing through life and death, has become ethereal.
If a person loses his life, what can he do to play life?
He had lost interest in these things, at least for now. In fact, he sometimes envies the group of people who don't know anything, at least they can live a normal life.
If you want to experience all this, you will have to wait until the dust settles after two and a half years.
For Ma Rulin's question, Wang Ge really had no way to answer her, so he could only lie on the bed, look at the slightly cracked ceiling, and said slowly, "Maybe it's ...... I'm too busy at work. ”
"Isn't your work only eight hours, and you still have a lot of time to spend after work. Ma Rulin was very puzzled and continued to ask.
Wang Ge shook his head, "I'm tired from driving, I want to sleep after eating when I get home, and I can't take care of anything else." ”
The king pigeon is just perfunctory, in fact, other people in the team still have their own hobbies after work, for example, Xu Lin likes to drag Sun Chengde to play games together, although it is very vegetable, but it is okay to relax.
But the king pigeon is different, the matter of gambling has occupied all his brain, except for the usual anonymous version of Island A to divert his attention from the following, there is no way to relax at all, and there is no time to take care of others.
It's not so much that the busyness of work has left him with no skills, but that death and his soul have completely consumed him.
This matter is really not clear to ordinary people.
Ma Rulin still couldn't understand the state of the king pigeon, so she gave up the inquiry and continued to click on the phone.
"What about you, life is abundant, isn't it? Wang Ge quickly ended the topic and asked rhetorically.
"I, after work, playing games, visiting the mall, eating, having fun, and raising a small animal, it can be regarded as comfortable. King pigeon, people have to pursue a little. It's definitely not okay for you to live a life like this. Ma Rulin looked at her childhood friend so decadent, and suddenly felt pity, she must have no result with him, but she couldn't bear to watch him fall like this, otherwise he would have to become a waste.
Ma Rulin felt that the uncle and aunt of the Wang family were not bad, and in their old age, they should not be pitted by this uncompetitive son, so they couldn't help but say a few more words, and actually taught Wang Ge a lesson, "Make a few friends, find some hobbies, cheer up, raise a cat, take care of it, maybe it will be much better." Your parents are so old, don't let them worry about it all the time. ”
Wang Ge couldn't cry or laugh, it was good not to ask, but he didn't expect to be involved in so much trouble when he asked. He quickly sat up straight and nodded, but fortunately there was a knock at the door, and the king pigeon escaped and hurried to open the door.
The knock on the door was Wang Chengcheng, Wang Ge's father, who was looking at him with expectant eyes.
Wang Ge didn't move, just looked at the door Uncle Ma and his wife were already preparing to leave, too, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, Uncle Ma had drunk wine, and it was long overdue to go home to rest.
Ma Rulin also quickly stood up and hugged her father, who was a little shaky, and it could be seen that her father was very happy today.
Wang Ge didn't wait for Wang Jiancheng's instructions, and immediately put on a coat and sent the guest's family of three downstairs, very attentive and proactive, Uncle Ma, who had drunk too much, was extremely satisfied, and Ma Rulin's mother also had a good impression of this sensible child.
It's just that Ma Rulin herself thinks that Wang Ge's behavior is a bit too contrived, obviously an otaku with no hobbies, no interests, no thoughts and no soul, and he is still pretending to be a good child in front of his parents, trying to please his parents, isn't it a little disgusting?
Thinking of this, Ma Rulin, who had already gotten into the car and was sitting in the driver's seat, took out her mobile phone again and typed a few lines to her best friend.
It turned out that Ma Rulin held her mobile phone tonight, and she had been complaining to her best friend about the encounter of being deceived into a blind date today, from entering the door to the boring king pigeon, complaining cleanly, and the king pigeon didn't know about it.
But the king pigeon went downstairs to give it away, definitely not to pack anything, just out of politeness to the guests, such a big son can't give his parents some face?
What's more, Uncle Ma drank wine, the corridor was dim, his weight was not light, and it was not safe to sway, only the weak Ma Rulin and her mother were with him, if Uncle Ma fell, the two of them might not be able to help people up. Wang Ge was worried about Uncle Ma's safety, so he followed him downstairs.
What Ma Rulin didn't notice was that in addition to using his mobile phone as a flashlight, Wang Ge also held Uncle Ma's arm tightly with his other arm to help him keep his balance.
Wang Ge sent Uncle Ma and his wife into the car, greeted him with a smile, closed the door of the back seat, looked at Ma Rulin in the driver's seat, and wanted to tell her to drive carefully.
But the window glass of the driver's seat did not come down, and Ma Rulin's face was not visible through the black glass film, Ma Rulin actually ignored her, and the vehicle drove away as soon as it started.
Wang Ge looked at the smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe and the tail lights that were fading away, looked down at the ground, and smiled bitterly.
Accept this bet, do you regret it?
I don't regret it!
The king pigeon twisted his thigh and quickly went upstairs.
When they arrived at home, their parents had already cleaned up the dining table, and the two of them sat on the sofa drinking tea. And Wang Jiancheng was still staggering just now, but now he is very sober. As soon as the door rang, the old couple turned their heads and stared at the king pigeon.
The hairs on the back of the king pigeon stood up, and every movement from hanging clothes to changing shoes was uncomfortable.
"Mom and Dad, what do you see me doing...... Wang Ge finally couldn't help but speak.
"How does it feel, pony, I've been in your room for a long time and haven't come out, so we've talked a lot. Zhao Xueqin took the lead in opening her mouth, dragged her son to her side, and asked him to sit down.
"Lao Ma is very satisfied with you, our two families have a deep friendship, I have been an old comrade-in-arms with him for so many years, a good brother, and he is also a good person, look at this matter...... Why don't you go everywhere first?" Wang Jiancheng had been a soldier, he spoke straightforwardly, and he didn't like to mess with those vain things with his son, so he asked straight to the point.
Wang Ge was stunned for a moment, daring to love this old couple is coming to the end. But in her own state, Ma Rulin can't look down on herself at all, but this is not because Ma Rulin is picky and discerning, a normal girl will never allow the current king pigeon to become their boyfriend, of course, except for Lin Yanwu.
This is not to blame for Marjulin, only for the king pigeon to be too bad. But to tell the truth, parents must have opinions about Ma Rulin and the Ma family, and Wang Ge will definitely not wronged good people.
There is no way, this pot, the king pigeon can only choose to carry it himself.
"I didn't have a crush on her. Wang Ge lowered his head and said a word, not daring to look his parents in the eyes.
The old couple looked at each other and felt incredible.
"This pony wants to have a face, he wants to work and have a job, in addition to being shy, he is still very polite, Lao Ma's family education, his personality must be no different, what do you like about others?" Wang Jiancheng seemed to be a little angry, and his tone was very heavy.
The king pigeon did not succumb to his father's anger, and pulled out the words that he had already said hundreds of times, "I have someone in my heart." ”
"Son, what happened to Nalan Xin, we also feel uncomfortable, but you are a medical worker, you should think more than us. Life still has to go on, to put it mildly, you wait for her, she can't wake up for the rest of her life, can you wait? Even if she wakes up, will her family agree to you being with her? Will she still have memories of the past? Can she resume her life and take care of herself? Our family conditions are not good......" Zhao Xueqin frowned, took her husband's hand and asked him not to be angry first, and persuaded bitterly.
In fact, her words are not wrong to put on any mother, everyone is their own, and they can only think about their own families and children, waiting for Lan Xin is obviously not the best choice.
It's not that Zhao Xueqin doesn't understand the king pigeon, but the king pigeon has never expressed how much he likes Lan Xin. In the eyes of the king's parents, the king's feelings are just a whim, and the children are ignorant and petty.
"Dad, Mom, let's not think about these things in the past few years. I'll stay at home with you two elders. Even if I give up, give me a moment to forget. "The king pigeon has found a step for himself.
In fact, what the final result is, after two and a half years, there will always be an ending. He went back to his room, took off his clothes and got under the covers, and looked at the ceiling with his eyes open.
Tonight is another sleepless night.
