Chapter 406: We have to fight (repeated)

Three months ago, I received a call from a stranger on my way home from get off work! After answering the call, a very magnetic voice came from the other side. The voice was a little strange but also a little familiar. 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. Suddenly I 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 hurdles to test friendship!

In the past few years in college, we have talked about the decrease in contact, and then we have ceremonial greetings during the holidays... It feels really sad! Suddenly, Zhang You called me to invite me to the wedding. It felt a bit weird!

After thinking about it, the reason why Zhang Youhui invited me is probably because I helped him in his relationship back then! I had long heard that he and Zhou Yanyan went to college in the same city, but I never thought that this young prince in love would actually "make it right" with his old classmate.

On the day of the wedding, I drove to help before dawn. Seeing Zhang You again, we became a little stranger. But after some fun, we seemed to be back to the age where gags and jokes were endless! It can be seen that the groom is a little nervous, and he is 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 after arriving 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 has been confirmed! The bride in front of me is not an old classmate I know, but a school girl Zhang You met 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, he didn't cause any trouble, and no two people knew about this little embarrassment.

The wedding banquet started at noon, and Zhang You arranged for us acquaintances from high school to sit at the same table! Compared with the morning, there were a few more familiar faces on the dining 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 changing glasses, the conversation started gradually. We talked about our high school life until now! Suddenly, Lao Bao, who slept on Zhang You's upper bunk in high school, said in a confused voice, "I didn't expect Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan would break up!"

At a wedding, mentioning the groom's ex-girlfriend is definitely a very offensive thing, but at that time, the brothers all drank a lot! As soon as Zhang You's other roommate picked up the conversation, these old classmates started chatting, and I also learned some things that I didn't know clearly!

If Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan are getting better, I am a part of it! On the eve of the school anniversary that year, the school asked each class to put on a show and then go to the lecture theater to participate in the selection! And I, unfortunately, became the organizer of this matter!

Those people in our class, let them watch others show up at the school anniversary! Letting them come on stage would literally kill them, their heads shaking like rattles! After unsuccessfully searching for several classmates, I had no choice but to rely on my good deskmate Zhang You! After all, he was known as the "Prince of Love Songs" in the class at that time, and his singing was absolutely nothing to say.

After my pleading, Zhang You reluctantly agreed. But he also made a request for me, that is, I cannot go on stage alone! To this end, 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 got together! Regarding the choice of my friend, I only had blessings in my heart at that time. 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 high school students need a lot of money to fall in love! When you have to worry about taking your girl to sing at KTV, the relationship is not far from ending!

The relationship between Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan is going very well! The behavior of spreading dog food every day seems to be telling me that I think too much! Just when I thought the relationship between the two would last for a while, something happened that made me reaffirm 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 high-end doll to her girlfriend! A 1.5 meter baby is certainly nothing to office workers, but for those of us who are still in school, it is definitely a big expense! Zhang You not only spent all his money for 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 made it to the weekend to go home and collect the money!

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 given to her by Zhou Yanyan’s parents 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. It’s no wonder, after all, it’s the last year, if you don’t fight now, you’ll wait until later!

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 attitude towards learning was obviously much better, 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!

When I heard some of my friends’ whimsical ideas, I fell silent! Have you never eaten pork and seen pigs run away? How many people have failed on their way to becoming stars, and how many people have wasted half their lives without even being able to get a leading role! I really don’t dare to express my support for my friend’s idea, even though I know that he can sing 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 love subsides, they will re-examine the relationship. I thought the relationship between the two would not last long, but reality slapped me in the face again!

Until they graduated from high school, the two showed no signs of breaking up. And I also heard that they both went to university in the same city! Before the university started, Zhang You even sent Zhou Yanyan to her dormitory.

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 was very likely to appear on TV in the future! But for several consecutive issues, I didn’t see any trace of him on relevant programs! I want to ask him, but I'm 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 learned that he did not stay in a 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, and the best one is just a four or five-minute shot on TV!

During the summer vacation between freshman and sophomore year, Zhou Yanyan and Zhang You broke up after a big quarrel. The reason was that she thought Zhang You was "too stingy" and wouldn't even 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 is trying to prove something or to compete with himself! He put too much pressure on himself and couldn't adjust his emotions well after 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! Out of control, he went to the other person's class and caused quite a disturbance in the other person's school! After this incident, Zhang You could not come out 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 came to me! In high school, we each supported our friends and passed notes to them 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 back, "Aren't you the same?" She added, "You looked like you were complaining about Zhang You." I said, "You are too much. I'm sorry, I'm just feeling a little emotional." Just like this, she said something and I answered. The two of us gradually started chatting.

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

Later, Zhang You wanted to become a star for Zhou Yanyan, and she was really touched! It is precisely because of this that she is willing to give Zhang You time and even stand up for Zhang You and his parents. But there is always a distance between dreams and reality! You can say Zhou Yanyan is realistic, but Zhang You really can't give her the future she wants!

After hearing what Dong Xiaojie said, I didn't say anything more, I just lit a cigarette for myself again! At this time, a sentence came to my mind, "The most helpless thing in life is to meet the one I want to protect the most at the age when I am most powerless!"

In this matter, it seems that neither of the two people 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 things have a different 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 most powerless age"! It’s not that they don’t love, it’s that they can’t afford to 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. I don’t like it anymore, even if I eat the top-notch Western food face to face, it will still taste the same! When the initial impulse fades away, it’s the moment that truly tests 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 what happened between Zhang You and Zhou Yanyan, just think of it as one of the astringent memories of youth! Whose youth has no regrets?

"Take me to visit the farm! Too many things have happened recently, and we need to have a good conversation!" Without worrying too much about the formation, Magneto and Yang Rui walked into the farm side by side. From Yang Rui's attitude towards Magneto and Tony, we can see the importance of the two people in Yang Rui's heart!

Perhaps because of a loss, or perhaps because he trusted Magneto, Yang Rui very generously showed Eric the farm's laboratory! Of course, Yang Rui still kept a tight lid on the pills that could enhance mutant abilities! This thing is too sensitive, he can't "add fuel to the fire" anymore!

With sufficient financial investment and the presence of top scientists such as David and Bruce, today's laboratory is no longer as crude as it used to be! Even compared with the world's top laboratories, the laboratory in front of you is not inferior!
