29 Desire
He could never forget the longing in the girl's eyes.
It's different from the desire for something, something that is played out in the media.
The longing in the girl's eyes is strong and infectious.
That longing is probably only cultivated after experiencing the many hardships of life, and that is the desire for beautiful things.
"Is reading really that important?" He asked himself for the first time.
Although there are often all kinds of remarks in his ears about college students working for secondary school students.
Although he has seen many cases of low education and high income on the Internet platform.
But he also suddenly realized that he was probably just an ordinary person.
There are many people with low education and high income, so many that they crowd his thoughts.
But these people are not ordinary people like themselves.
The desire in their eyes is the same as this girl's.
I have experienced the hardships of life, and I am also full of expectations for my future.
He struggled to think back to when he had been longing for something in the past few years.
He suddenly realized that he had never longed for it.
At most, it's just for the second day of updates of novels and films, and I want to go for it.
He also seemed to suddenly realize that what he longed for at that time was, in the final analysis, the life of "someone else".
In the past few years, I seem to have been able to get by.
In the six months that the girl went back to school, he seemed to be a different person.
Not only was he much more diligent, but he also tried to find out what he really desired.
He tried to study, but he persevered for a while, and then gave up, because his mind was full of what his teacher had told him before—that you are not the material for learning.
He also tried to invest in financial management in the past, to buy and sell stocks, and to insist on buying lottery tickets every day, but his capital was too small, and his disappointment slowly exceeded hope.
He remembered what had been said before—that he had no business mind.
He was confused, because even after five months of hard work, he was still not appreciated, and he was paid the same meager salary as before.
He suddenly felt that he was a waste, a dregs of society, with no value.
He has been denied by countless people since he was a child, and he is destined to be unable to change his fate no matter how he changes himself.
In his most desperate moments, the girl came again.
She has already obtained many certificates, many of which he has never heard, looking at such an excellent girl, he actually felt inferior for the first time in his heart.
He didn't dare to talk to her, or ask her why she had desires that she didn't have.
In that winter, he chose to resign and returned to his hometown with the 20,000 yuan he had saved in recent years.
After he returned to his hometown, he did many jobs, but he couldn't do every line for long, his parents' chatter made him upset, and the introduction of relatives made him unable to see the light of the future.
He often wondered what his future would look like.
He also slowly reached the age when he should get married, he also got married in a daze, and married a girl who had only seen two sides, the girl was not good or bad, but she could endure hardships, and with the efforts of the two, life was passable.
It's just one night that he thought of the girl who worked part-time, counting the days, she should have been admitted to graduate school, because she was so hard working and so hardworking, on the other hand, she was still "messing around".
However, he didn't care, but willingly accepted his ordinariness, maybe he also figured it out, and his current life may be the most suitable for his life.
The busy days didn't last long, he changed jobs again, this year he was twenty-six, entered the pharmaceutical factory, and then under the company's business trip arrangement, he came to Beijing again.
He finished his work and went back to the small shop where he used to work, and the old guys were still in the shop, and they were still the same as before.
They were also very happy to see him, and talked to him about the interesting things of the past few years.
And he also asked about the working girl's current situation.
The older master listened to his question, and he sighed.
The girl didn't get into graduate school, and she didn't even finish college.
He hurriedly asked why, and the moment he learned the truth, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
It turned out that when the girl was a senior in college, she lost her life because of her courage to rescue the children who fell into the water.
He also forgot how he got out of the diner, and he only remembered that he had lost sleep that night.
He suddenly thought that if he was still working in Beijing, maybe the outcome would be different.
He also suddenly fantasized about how nice it would be if he were Superman, so that he might be able to change her fate.
He thought wildly, as if he was by the girl's side at that time, changing her fate, and as if he was attending the girl's funeral as a friend after her death.
That night, the night was long.
When the light outside the window was bright, he got up tired and smiled bitterly for a long time.
He obviously can't even change his own fate, but it's too stupid and naïve to fantasize about changing the fate of others.
The girl's death has also become a regret in his heart, but life will go on after all.
After a few years of inactivity, he stepped on the wave of the Internet and started the road of chess anchor.
As for the previous doubts, naivety, and regrets, he thought he had forgotten them.
It wasn't until he saw this game that Yang Zheng's eyes and dusty memories surged into his heart like a flood.
He looked at this game of chess, and he finally realized that the seemingly straightforward offensive and defensive switch was not as boring as it seemed, but very exciting.
Because of this game of chess, this young man named Yang Zheng has already gambled on his desire, and his desire to win is even stronger than his own.
On the other hand, in the thin body of the strange old man, there is actually a desire to win without losing to Yang Zheng.
They just respect their opponents in the most straightforward way possible, and by the way, fulfill their desires.
He suddenly felt a little jealous, why when he met them, he not only couldn't see their desires clearly. Their attitude towards themselves is not as straightforward and respectful as it is now?
Obviously, he is also a player who does not lose to them.
Why is it that you are not respected?
Seeing that the game was finally over, the man also left the arena with the crowd of onlookers.
His face slowly distorted, and tomorrow, if he could meet them again, he would definitely do everything in his power to win.
Yang Zheng won the first place in today's group stage with a complete victory, and the strange old man also made him see that chess Internet celebrities are not all hypocritical liars.
"The back is terrifying." The strange old man shook hands with Yang Zheng and sighed at Yang Zheng's extraordinary chess ability.
The strange old man who lost the game unexpectedly felt "relieved", and he suddenly found that sometimes "losing" is not ugly, as long as he adjusts his mentality, even if he is an old man like him, as long as he learns to let go, there are still many things worth looking forward to in life.
"I won't lose again next time." The strange old man said mischievously, and Yang Zheng also laughed.
"Then I'll wait for you to fight me next time."
