242. Reversal
After a few pleasantries with his colleagues, Matthew walked in the direction of Lily, who was sitting alone at the bar counter.
"What are you going to tell me about why you've changed your career plans?"
Seeing Matthew's arrival, Lily said excitedly.
It seemed to her that Matthew had become almost unrecognizable to her, the person next to her.
Matthew now makes her feel so strange that she almost can't recognize her.
Especially those of his colleagues, who are simply superb.
Lily is afraid that Matthew will become like them in the future, so how will the two get along in the future?
Now she has begun to regret her hasty decision, and if she continues with the current trend, maybe what else will happen?
"Nothing has changed, okay. My dream is to protect the environment, I just think maybe I can make more money first. We can buy an apartment in the city, send our kids to a good private school, and even you can quit your current job and focus on painting. I know you're going to say you care about that, but I love you and I want to provide you with this anyway, and you deserve it. β
It was only when Matthew saw that Lily was so unhappy that he revealed the inside story.
"Matthew, you've given me enough, and I'm content to have everything I have now."
Lily said with a look of surprise.
Although Matthew's words hit her heart hard, her heart was filled with Matthew's love for a while.
But she didn't want Matthew to change his original personality because of this.
If that were the case, she'd rather go back to the way she used to be.
Even though the lives of the two may not be as rich as Matthew's just described, Lily is happy with the life she has now.
There is no intrigue in the workplace, no adult jokes that sound uncomfortable, and no ...... Why don't you just say it directly? β
Ted said straight to the point.
Robin, who was putting on makeup and preparing for the live broadcast, could only say in a comforting tone at this time: "Okay, you are simply pushing yourself to death." It's Saturday night, so it's okay to go out and have some fun. β
"What's there to go out in the middle of the night, I'm a girlfriend. Of course, at least until then. Besides, if even I go out to play, who will watch your show? I'm a big fan of the show, and maybe half of the audience of your show. β
Ted quipped Robin.
Hearing that he was still trying to tease Ted, Robin knew she didn't have to worry too much about her friend.
"It's really flattering that you would think that my show has two people."
So she also teased her show with a smile.
Although Robin claims to be a news anchor, in fact, it is inevitable that he will just put gold on his face.
Because her show belongs to the 11 o'clock slot at night, most people have already gone to bed at this time.
Even if people haven't slept at this time, most of them are night owls, and they don't have much interest in watching late-night news programs.
Isn't it nice to go to some shows where you fight with young ladies?
"Also, Victoria, she won't break up with you. Ted, you're a good person! β
Robin heard on the phone that Ted must be a little hesitant at this time, so he comforted him in a warm tone.
"Thank you. It's 11 o'clock anyway, so I won't delay you from going to work. I wish you the best of luck in Changhong! β
The two then said goodbye to each other.
Ted waited for the phone as he watched the clock hands cross the 11 o'clock direction.
After a while, Ted decided that this was not the way to go.
As Robin said, today is a big weekend, everyone else is going out to eat spicy skin or something, and he can only sit hard.
...... That's not the same thing.
So Ted suddenly remembered that Barney had called himself to sing karaoke before, because he had an agreement with his girlfriend.
He then declined his friend Barney's invitation.
Now it seems that there may be no hope of contacting his girlfriend tonight.
So Ted simply took a taxi downstairs and went straight to Barney's bar.
Barney didn't just invite Matthew, Lily, and Ted tonight, but he also invited John and Peggy.
Unfortunately, John has been a bit busy lately, so he declined Barney's request.
It's been a long time since he's been out drinking and chatting with his friends.
Without John's attendance, Peggy naturally wouldn't be present today.
In fact, if Peggy were alone, she would still prefer to stay in a quiet environment rather than a noisy place like a karaoke bar.
John's presence is a different matter.
When Ted walked into the karaoke bar, he immediately saw Barney singing loudly on stage.
At this time, Barney was holding the microphone and singing his best song "DirtyDeedsDoneDirtCheap", and many people at the scene couldn't help but sway to the beat of the music.
Barney sang even more vigorously when he saw Ted appear.
He wants his friends to know that he is definitely one of the best in the crowd when it comes to singing karaoke.
Maybe when we used to play together, he would often say some big things, brag or something.
But in this matter, he is absolutely not lying, he is definitely foaming at the mouth and nailing, and there is no joke.
Ted smiled and applauded very loudly.
Then he also saw Matthew alone, as if he was about to get drunk and relieve his sorrows.
It seems that my friend is not having a very good time tonight......
"Hi, Matthew."
"Hey."
"Dude, I feel like I haven't seen you in almost a month, what have you been busy with lately? We don't have much of a chance to get along with each other."
Ted joked at Matthew with a wicked smile on his face.
almost didn't say that she was a deep resentful woman.
Although it is a joke, Matthew has been busy mingling with his colleagues in his own company lately, and it has been a long time since he has had a good chat with his best friend and best friend, Ted himself.
Matthew was seen in a hurry to go to work early in the morning, and it was almost midnight when he got home from work.
Naturally, there were not many opportunities for communication between the two.
This was completely unimaginable before, the two have known and "lived together" for so many years, and they have long had nothing to say and nothing to talk about.
As John often says, the two are good enough to wear the same pair of pants.
"YES, HOW'S IT GOING?" Matthew seemed to vaguely understand what Lily was saying at this point.
yes, when did I become such a stranger?
If he had been before, he would have been basically aware of what was going on around his friends.
Especially his best friend, Ted, his best friend and roommate.
Looking at Ted's worried face, Matthew knew what was supposed to be going on with his friend.
Otherwise, Ted wouldn't have had such a sad look on his face.
"I feel like Victoria is going to break up with me."
Ted said lightly the reason why he was depressed tonight.
"I'm sorry to hear that, and I don't know how to comfort you."
Matthew gently patted Ted on the shoulder, and he could only comfort him.
"yes. To be honest, I'm starting to lose sight of what she looks like. The harder I tried to remember her, the less I could remember her. To this day I remember she brought me ...... The feeling of coming, it's just that I just can't remember all of her coming. It felt like I was trying to protect what I had lost, and it was frustrating. β
At this time, Ted seemed to pour out his bitterness to his best friend Matthew, as before.
It's a pity that Matthew is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river at this moment, and it is difficult to protect himself.
For a while, he couldn't come up with a good plan, so he could only say with a self-deprecating smile: "Protect what has been lost? Sounds like environmental law. β
"I don't know, we're trying so hard to grasp these things, but we actually know in our hearts that these things will eventually disappear.
But it's actually really noble, like you want to protect every piece of rainforest from turning into a parking lot.
In other words, where are you going to park your car? β
Matthew looked at Ted with a surprised expression, daring to love that he was enlightening himself
His friend's words made Matthew understand that Lily was still by his side.
So he looked at Lily, who was sitting in the corner, and Matthew seemed to think of something.
Then he stood up and slapped Ted.
Show your gratitude.
Matthew pulled a Franklin from his jacket pocket and silently walked over to an African-American DJ next to the stage.
After whispering a few words in his ear, the African-American brother may have been enthusiastic, or he may have been very happy to accept it for the sake of Franklin's face.
It seems that the two men have quickly reached a consensus.
Barney on stage had already sung the climax of this classic rock song at this time, and suddenly the microphone in his hand went silent.
Not a single sound came out.
"Rock 'n' roll time, what the hell is going on?"
The sudden situation on the stage made him feel very confused, so he looked at the African DJ curiously.
And Matthew, who was already standing behind Barney, leaned out and didn't ...... in Barney's ear You know what was said.
Barney was very sensible at this time to give the stage and the microphone in his hand to his friend Matthew, and then silently walked off the stage.
You must know that Barney can be described as a "Maiba"-level existence, and the microphone in his hand is like a treasure entering Pixiu's belly, and there are things that cannot be entered.
But since Matthew made this request, it was inconvenient for Barney to embarrass Matthew on this matter.
If he really decided to resign because of this, wouldn't he be back to the time when he fought alone.
The guests in the audience were very curious about what kind of show Matthew was going to bring, after all, Barney's scene was very warm before.
The response was overwhelming.
As I've said before, Americans are interested in this kind of public karaoke performance, but if you don't show it well, people will probably have to applaud.
If you have a bad temper, you will even be booed.
There are no threes, twos, threes, and I dare not go to Liangshan.
Matthew is naturally not afraid of this kind of scene, because he has a secret weapon at his disposal.
"Next up on stage are Marshmallow and Lily Pie!" After the African-American brother introduced the next show to everyone present, the melody of the song was played.
Judging by his size, which is even stronger than Matthew, he is an absolute fan of sweets.
What's more, the nicknames between this young couple are so cute.
Matthew, who was on the stage, patted his chest in the direction where Lily was and pointed to his heart.
Then she hooked her finger at Lily.
The meaning is self-explanatory.
That is, Matthew wants to invite his fiancΓ©e to participate in this couple chorus.
Listening to the familiar melody, Lily suddenly laughed and laughed.
"Don't let me cry and break my heart...," Matthew began to hum.
"I try my best to soothe ......... gently" Lily has been surprisingly bold since she was a child, and naturally she will not have stage fright.
Watching Matthew's every move, Lily happily walked onto the stage and began to sing a duet with Matthew.
Everyone present was very generous to this lovely-looking couple, and applauded warmly.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm and encouragement, Matthew and Lily also performed a dance between them on stage.
At this time, everyone laughed even more happily.
Because their dancing is so much fun.
Among them is Tedta.
Looking at the couple on stage who got back together, Ted was full of emotion.
