Chapter 385 I’m very curious about the repetition

Three months ago, I received a strange call on my way home from get off work. After I answered the call, a very magnetic voice came from the other side. The voice was a little strange and familiar at the same time. After symbolically replying "Hello, it's me", I kept thinking about the owner of this voice.

It took me a while to recognize this distinctive voice. Zhang You, my deskmate and good buddy in high school. The purpose of his call was to invite me to his wedding. I suddenly learned the good news. My partner said "congratulations" and promised that he would definitely be there.

To be honest, I was a little surprised by Zhang You's call. Although when we were in high school, the two of us could wear the same pair of pants. But after graduation, time and distance become important barriers to test friendship.

In the past few years in college, we talked about the decrease in contact, and then the ceremonial holiday greetings during the New Year and the holidays were really embarrassing. Suddenly, Zhang You called me to invite me to the wedding. What a feeling. Somewhat weird

After thinking about it, Zhang Youhui invited me probably because I helped him in his relationship. I had long heard that he and Zhou Yanyan went to college in the same city. I never thought that the little prince would actually be in love with his old classmate. The cultivation has achieved positive results."

On the day of the wedding, I drove to help before dawn. Seeing Zhang You again, we became a little stranger. But after all the fun, we seemed to have returned to the age where we were making endless jokes and jokes. It was obvious that the groom was a little nervous, and he was using this method to divert his nervousness.

After chatting for a while, I was dragged by two high school classmates to pick up the bride. But when we arrived at the place, I couldn't help but have some doubts. I heard that Zhou Yanyan’s family’s financial situation is very good, but the house in front of her doesn’t look like a wealthy family.

After a lot of "passing five levels and killing six generals", we finally met the bride. And what I felt was wrong before was confirmed. The bride in front of me was not an old classmate I knew, but a schoolgirl Zhang You knew when he was in college.

Realizing that I had made a small mistake, I felt inexplicably embarrassed. If I think about it carefully, I have not had formal contact with Zhang You for two and a half years. I was misled by my preconceived ideas. Fortunately, I didn't get into any trouble, so this little embarrassment would not have happened at all. Personal knowledge.

The wedding banquet started at noon, and Zhang You arranged for us acquaintances from high school to sit at a table. Compared with the morning, there were a few more familiar faces on the table. Among them is Dong Xiaojie, Zhou Yanyan’s best friend in high school.

After graduating from high school, it is rare for seven classmates to get together. After a while of pushing cups and changing cups, the conversation started gradually. We talked about our high school life back then until now. Suddenly, Lao Bao, who slept on the bunk above Zhang You in high school, said out of nowhere, "I didn't expect that Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan would meet." separate"

At a wedding, mentioning the groom's ex-girlfriend is definitely a very unpleasant thing. However, at that time, the brothers had drunk a lot. As Zhang You's other roommate picked up the conversation, these old classmates We started chatting, and I also learned some things that I didn’t know clearly.

To say that Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan got better, I also had a part in it. On the eve of the school anniversary that year, the school asked each class to put on a program and then go to the lecture theater to participate in the selection. Unfortunately, I became the person responsible for this. organizer

The group of people in our class, let them watch others show up at the school anniversary, let them go on stage, it is simply killing their lives. After trying to find several classmates in succession, with their heads shaking like rattles, without success, I I had no choice but to rely on my good classmate Zhang You. After all, he was known as the "Prince of Love Songs" in the class at that time, and his singing was absolutely useless.

After my pleading, Zhang You reluctantly agreed. However, he also made a request to me, that is, I cannot go on stage alone. For this reason, I found Zhou Yanyan, who can play the violin. It was through this opportunity that the relationship between the two developed.

Not long after the school anniversary, the two of them got together. Regarding the choice of friends, at that time, I only had blessings in my heart. But from the bottom of my heart, I am not optimistic about these two people. Without him, the family environment of the two is quite different, and "the economic base determines the superstructure."

High school is the time when boys and girls are in love. At that time, I also imagined that I would spend three years of high school with a girl by my side without any regrets. But the bloody reality tells me that even if you are a high school student, falling in love requires a lot of money. When you have to pay a lot of money to even take a girl to sing at KTV, the relationship is not far from ending.

The relationship between Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan has been maintained very well. Their behavior of spreading dog food every day seems to be telling me that I am overthinking. Just when I thought that the relationship between the two should last for a period of time, something happened that made me sad. I reconfirmed my thoughts

That evening, as a day student, I had just returned to the classroom when I saw Zhang You lying on the table with his stomach in one hand. Sensing that something was wrong with his expression, I asked him if he was sick, but he waved his hand and said nothing. After several inquiries, I found out that Zhang You was hungry. He hadn't eaten since last night.

It turns out that the day after tomorrow is Zhou Yanyan's birthday, and Zhang You wants to give her a tall doll as a gift to her girlfriend. A 1.5 meter tall doll, of course, it is nothing to office workers, but for those of us who are still in school, it is definitely a big deal. Zhang You not only spent a lot of money on this gift, but also borrowed it from all his roommates in the same dormitory.

I don't understand what my friend is doing. However, the only thing I could do for him at that time was to go to the supermarket and buy him two loaves of bread, and then take care of his meals for the next few days. With my help, Zhang You managed to go home and get money at the weekend

Later I found out that the reason why Zhang You did this was because Zhou Yanyan had long been talking about wanting a large-sized doll. However, what makes people feel a little ironic is that on her birthday, the birthday gift Zhou Yanyan's parents gave her was also a white bear doll of the same size.

This incident didn't seem to affect the relationship between the two of us. Before we knew it, we were in our senior year of high school. After school started, I clearly felt that the learning atmosphere in the class was much stronger. No wonder, after all, it is the last year. If you don’t fight now, when will you wait?

Many students in the class have their own ideas. Some study hard to improve their grades, while others look up art exam information to choose a suitable college. The same was true for me at that time. My study attitude was obviously much more correct, and I even forced myself to do exercises and read tutorials every day.

One day in the self-study class, I was pulled straight by my hair by a difficult problem. Suddenly, Zhang You came over and told me that he wanted to take the art exam, he wanted to be a star, and he wanted to make a lot of money.

I heard my friend had some whimsical ideas, and I fell silent. Have you ever eaten pork and seen pigs running? How many people have failed on their way to becoming stars, and how many people have wasted half their lives but can't even get a leading role in this idea of ​​​​a friend. , I really don’t dare to express my support, even though I know that he sings really well

I asked him why he had such thoughts, and he didn't hide it. He told me straightforwardly that it was for Zhou Yanyan. Although he didn't say much, I could still feel that there were some problems between the two that were not known to others.

There is a "three-year itch and seven-year pain" between husband and wife, and the same is true between lovers. When the feeling of passionate love subsides, they will re-examine the relationship. I thought the relationship between the two wouldn't last long, but reality hit me in the face again

Until they graduated from high school, the two showed no signs of breaking up. And I also heard that Zhang You even sent Zhou Yanyan to the dormitory in the early days of the university they were admitted to in the same city.

After going to college, my friendship with Zhang You was put to the test. In the beginning, we chatted often. For example, they criticize each other's school's military training, and tell each other about things they have encountered recently. But gradually, the contact between us became less and less, and the conversation time became shorter and shorter.

I still remember the last few times we contacted, Zhang You told me excitedly that he had passed the selection of a well-known singing program, and he was very likely to appear on TV in the future. However, I was not on the relevant program for several consecutive episodes. I saw him and wanted to ask him, but I was afraid of hurting the other person's self-esteem.

The few connections we had had were cut off through this opportunity. From then on, all that remained between us was the exchange of holiday greetings. It wasn't until he called me after he got married that I found out that he did not stay in the big city after graduation, but returned home and worked in a factory like us.

Through discussions between Lao Bao and others, I learned that Zhang You frequently participated in auditions during his freshman year. But the result is that time and energy are wasted. The best one is just a four or five-minute scene on TV.

During the summer vacation between freshman and sophomore year, Zhou Yanyan and Zhang You broke up after a big quarrel. The reason is that she thinks Zhang You is "too stingy" and even refuses to buy him "better" cosmetics. But as far as I know, Zhang You is not the kind of person who is reluctant to spend money, and he always had a part-time job in college.

After the start of his sophomore year, Zhang You's obsession with becoming a star and making money became even stronger. I don’t know if he was trying to prove something or if he was trying to compete with himself. He put too much pressure on himself and couldn’t adjust his emotions well after the failure. Everything was like a vicious cycle, but he just persisted

A few months later, Zhang You heard that Zhou Yanyan had found a new boyfriend who was out of control. He went to her class and caused a big disturbance in her school. Zhang You could not get over it for a long time. .

After the wedding banquet, I drank a lot and did not drive back immediately. Instead, I hid by the tree and smoked to sober up. At this time, Dong Xiaojie approached my friends who were in high school. We each supported our own friends and helped them pass notes to show off. Seeing each other again at this wedding, there is always a feeling of "time flies, things change and people change".

She said, "I didn't see you talking much during the meal before." I asked, "Aren't you the same?" She added, "Your expression before was like you were complaining about Zhang You." I said, "You are too worried. It's just a little... Feelings." She said something and I responded. The two of us gradually started chatting.

She told me that when Zhou Yanyan invited Zhang You to attend her birthday party, her parents knew about their relationship. From then on, his parents showed a repulsive attitude, but they were smart enough not to stop it.

Later, Zhang You wanted to become a star for Zhou Yanyan. She was really moved because of this, so she was willing to give Zhang You time and even stood up for Zhang You and her parents. But there is always a distance between dreams and reality. You can say that Zhou Yanyan is realistic, but Zhang You really cannot give her the future she wants.

Hearing what Dong Xiaojie said, I didn't say much, but just lit a cigarette for myself again. At this time, a sentence came to my mind, "There is no helperness in life than meeting the person you most want to protect at the age when you are most powerless." of her"

In this matter, it seems that neither of them is right, but it seems that both of them are wrong. If Zhang You had more money or Zhou Yanyan gave the other party more time, would the matter have another ending?

I don't know about this kind of thing, and I don't want to think too much about the established facts. After thinking about it, I think the root cause of this tragedy should be "they met at the age when they were most powerless." It's not that they don't love, but they can't love.

Things like feelings are sometimes just impulsive. When two people are in love, they can be deeply moved by sharing a cup of instant noodles. If you don’t love each other, even if you eat the best Western food face to face, it will still taste the same. When the initial impulse fades away, it will be the real test of the relationship between the two.

No matter what, Zhang You chose the girl next to him to spend his life together. There is definitely a firm emotional foundation between them. As a friend, all I can do is wish them well. As for the incident between Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan, just regard it as one of the astringent memories of youth. Whose youth has no regrets?

Looking at Dormammu's followers on Earth, the Green Goblin's strength can definitely be ranked among the top five. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to deal with the Decepticons. and carried out such important actions as the destruction of the temple. As for the veteran loser Casillas who was above him, he was currently having a verbal exchange with Ancient One's disciple Modu.

Decades ago, Casillas and Modou were classmates. They were jointly taught by Ancient One and were the best successors of Ancient One. Unlike Mordo, who is loyal to the Ancient One, Casillas is better at observing and thinking, and is more thirsty for power. It is for this reason that Casillas discovered the secret of Ancient One absorbing the power of darkness to extend his life.

Casillas, who is astonishingly talented, has always thought very highly of himself and thinks he is not inferior to the Ancient One. After discovering this, he thought he had learned the secret of the ancient one's power, so he began to secretly worship Dormammu. What kind of person is Gu Yi? How could Casillas' tricks be hidden from him? But because of the conflict of numerology, even someone as powerful as the Ancient One cannot destroy Casillas.

Since then, Casillas has established his own business, taking charge of a line of black magicians and becoming the enemy of the Ancient One.
