Quit Smoking, Quit People, Quit Love (1)
Lin Sen has a smoking addiction that began in the first semester of his senior year.
At that time, he had just formed an e-sports team with Da Fei, Fang Hui and some other people in the same major, because everyone was a game fan and came together for a hobby.
So at the beginning, everyone was just interested, but then the more they fought, the more energetic they became, and because they won a few games, everyone's momentum and blood were brought out.
From making a name for yourself in school circles to representing provincial regions in competitions. Along the way, everyone became more and more excited, and in order to exercise his skills, Lin Sen even stayed up all night to practice techniques, watch videos, and play games.
Coffee became less and less satisfying to him, so he pinned his hopes on cigarettes. At that time, the dormitory was full of smoke and miasma all night, staring at the flickering screen one by one, and the keyboard was flying.
It was because of this day and night that they won the next and biggest game they played, but they didn't know it at that time, it was their last game. The results of the event were passed back to the school and to Lin Sen's grandfather, who was notified by the principal.
The principal told Lin Sen's grandfather that Lin Sen had forgotten to hand in his homework because he was playing games, and he was late for more than 50 times, and his thesis supervisor could not contact him for a long time. Finally, he asked, "Is your grandson going to graduate?" ”
Grandpa was on crutches, swaying, his voice trembling, "I want, I want ......"
The principal happened to receive a call at this time, and Lin Sen's happy voice came from inside, "I won, you talk count." Lin Sen had made a bet with the principal that if he could win the game, the paper would be waived.
When the headmaster heard the conversation, he didn't move, but said, "Come back first!" Come back and we'll talk slowly. ”
Lin Sen came back the next day, but the person he talked to turned out to be his grandfather.
"What are you here to do? Is your body able to withstand such a long journey? Lin Sen was anxious, and at the same time scolded the stinky principal in his heart for making such an insidious move.
"You don't care about this, you can't control it, go back quickly!" He finally persuaded.
"You are what I brought up since I was a child, and I have heard this sentence no less than thirty times, but which time did I care?" Lin Sen's parents were not there when he was very young, he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't ask, he only knew that his grandfather was the only closest person in the world.
However, it was the person he loved the most, who was on crutches at this time, walked up to him and forced him, "Game and graduation certificate, you can choose one!" ”
Obviously, it can be both, Lin Sen didn't understand why he was forced to choose, "I want it all." ”
Before the words fell, Grandpa lifted his crutches and swept towards his desk, the first of which was the game console he had set up little by little, and fell to the ground.
"I'll choose for you - the diploma." Just like the tough wrist back then, grandpa never gave him a way out.
But Lin Sen is no longer the hairy boy who was afraid of him and respected him back then, and the boy has his own backbone as he grows older. Squatting down, Lin Sen didn't say a word, picked up the computer bits and pieces on the ground, and he thought that silence was his last bottom line.
"Don't pick it up!" Grandpa scolded, but Lin Sen didn't listen. Grandpa was furious, lifted the solid wood cane and pressed the back of Lin Sen's hand holding the computer, and rolled it deadly.
is obviously an old man who is not stable in walking, but the strength he pours out at this time is like a steady man of 100 kilograms.
Lin Sen was sweating in pain, gritting his teeth and not shouting, because he seemed to hear the sound of bones shattering under the solid wood. However, he refused to admit defeat and raised his head, he did not ask for forgiveness, but only stubbornly repeated, "I want them all!" ”
A room of young men saw such a hard-fought grandfather and grandson, and they hid in the corner one by one and didn't dare to make a sound. Only Da Fei stood up and persuaded the old man, "Grandpa, even if you don't play games, Lin Sen can't write papers by hand, and he still can't finish his business!" ”
In the end, it was the old man who relented and removed his crutches. Lin Sen was immediately taken to the hospital by several classmates of Da Fei, and the doctor said that it was dangerous, and the hand was almost useless.
After coming out of the hospital, Lin Sen didn't go back to school immediately, because before entering the hospital, he told Fang Hui to take his smashed game console to repair it, so as soon as he got out of the hospital, he immediately went to the repair shop.
That day, when it was determined that the only way to bring the console back to life was to give it all a makeover, and the maintenance engineer advised him to change it, Lin Sen returned to school with his "crippled" computer.
But before I got to the dormitory, someone at the bottom of the building was surprised, "Why did you come back?" Your grandfather just left! ”
"What did you say?" Lin Sen didn't understand.
"Taken away by ambulance." The kind man told the truth, and after speaking, he asked curiously, "Is the old man sick?" ”
Lin Sen's legs were weak at that time, and he retreated silently and endlessly, until the well-wisher shouted: "I wish your grandfather a speedy recovery!" He just remembered to turn around.
But as soon as he turned around, he immediately bumped into a person, who scolded him for walking without looking at the road, he looked at the computer that was knocked off the ground, and the person asked again, "Is this yours?" ”
Lin Sen did not answer. With a strong back foot, he began to run desperately, and the man shouted "Your computer!" behind him. ”
He didn't want anything, at that moment he just wanted grandpa.
Later, I learned that my grandfather had a stroke and lay in the hospital for half a year, and he could not use crutches when he was discharged, so he could only use a wheelchair all day. Not only that, but his intelligence is declining, and there is no longer the stern and tough grandfather he used to have, only the old child who smirks at his grandson and grimaces.
From that time on, Lin Sen's addiction to smoking intensified, and he had to finish a pack of cigarettes at his grandfather's bedside almost every night before leaving.
It was also at that time that Lin Sen started his business, which was related to computers, but had nothing to do with games. He explained to the team that he could no longer do things that were overused because of his hands.
After graduating from his senior year, Lin Sen completely quit gaming while filling the gap in his life with frequent romances.
In Da Fei's words, this kid figured it out at once, realized how generous his conditions were, and began to use his enthusiasm for playing games to find a girlfriend.
Da Fei was happy for him.
Fang Hui was a little worried, "He has so many girlfriends, it seems that none of them like him." He also said that Lin Sen is like a hunter, always waiting for a more delicious prey to appear, and then leaving the one in his mouth.
These two buddies were envious and jealous at the time, and sometimes even hated.
"Divided again? Do you still have any humanity? Especially when they broke up, he had the strongest feelings.
"I didn't bring it up, she brought it up. If she wants to divide it, why should I keep others? Lin Sen always had a cigarette in his mouth when he said this, and then he raised his head and blew a circle, looking not sad at all.
"You must have forced people to break up." Da Fei told the truth.
Lin Sen was noncommittal, jumped down from the table, sat down in front of the table, "Let's get started!" I don't want to stay up tonight. ”
Da Fei and Fang Hui slowly moved to the table one by one, facing the computer, staring at the whole page of gibberish on it, their eyes were full of stars, and they scolded Lin Sen in their hearts: It's really inhuman.
As expected, when he went to the bar at night, Lin Sen got a new girlfriend again.
But this situation was not until Lin Sen met Fang Chuchu at the high school reunion, and the situation suddenly appeared, or rather, it changed completely.
That day, Lin Sen, who was taken off his shirt by Fang Chuchu, returned to the studio, Da Fei saw him like this, knew the ins and outs of the matter, and gloated: "You Lin Sen also have today!" It's good, it's good, you quit the game last time, and this time you quit abusiveness. ”
That night, Lin Sen climbed over the wall and stole into the nursing home, sneaked into the old man's room, and woke him up. When the old man saw him coming, he also brought his favorite roasted sweet potatoes, and he was very happy.
Lin Sen knew that he would not recognize him, so he sat under his wheelchair and said in his heart: "Old man, I still remember the girl named Fang Chuchu, I saw her today." It's been seven years, and I've finally seen her again. ”
The old man was only interested in sweet potatoes.
Lin Sen saw that he was happy to eat, and he was also happy in his heart, so he reached out to wipe the dregs from the corner of the old man's mouth, and said, "Xiao Chu also bought you sweet potatoes!" ”
Grandpa turned his head, "That 'Chu Chu pitiful' Chu Chu? ”
Lin Sen's eyes lit up, "You remember! ”
"That girl is beautiful!" Grandpa began to eat sweet potatoes with relish again.
Lin Sen smiled and agreed, "Yes, it's beautiful. ”
"My grandson likes her."
In the quiet night, the old man's words inadvertently pierced Lin Sen's heart that he thought was impregnable. Cautiously, he shouted, "Grandpa? He didn't dare to shout these two words for many years.
The old man took the sweet potato, pulled down his presbyopia, and looked down at him, "You are far worse than my grandson, and that girl will definitely not like you." ”
That night, under the wheelchair, the boy who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time lowered his head, held on to the tire of the wheelchair, and cried for a long time.
It was the worst cry he had ever cried since the bone in the back of his hand.
He thought that he would never forget Fang Chuchu in this life, that was someone his grandfather had never forgotten, and he didn't dare to forget.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, Mu Yao told him to quit.
In the evening, Lin Sen arrived at the agreed place on time. Because the other party didn't arrive, he chatted in every possible way and smoked a cigarette. Just one after another, half a pack was almost finished, and people didn't wait for it to come.
Lin Sen took out his mobile phone and dialed the number, and the other party connected, but he was hung up before he could make a sound, "What's the matter?" Taking off the phone, he was strange and irritable.
Stuffing half a pack of cigarettes into his pocket, Lin Sen began to look for things to do. There happened to be a game hall nearby, and he walked in and spent a few coins.
When I was on the phone, the phone called, "Where's the person?" ”
Lin Sen looked down and saw the display at the bottom right of the computer screen, two hours had passed since the agreed time.
"Brother and brother, I'm sorry, I really have to go!" He bounced out of his wheelchair, pulled up the jacket hanging from the back of the chair, and rushed out of the game hall, leaving the "brothers" scolding and scolding in the wind.
Mu Yao was by the river, watching Lin Sen run over, like his youth back then.
"You can't blame me, you were late first." When he came up, he made a preemptive strike, and after speaking, he was out of breath and couldn't spit out half a word.
Mu Yao didn't want to blame him, he just smiled when he looked tired, "I didn't rush you, why did you run like this?" ”
