After sleeping for about two hours, Vincent woke up, and Henry took care of him to drink water and eat something.Then they decided to leave and go to the seaside behind the mountain.

They threw away all the weapons and ammunition except Vincent's little hand//gun, which was in Henry's pocket.

It was already dusk outside, and the forest was completely silent, only the bugs were chirping and calling in the grass.They followed the route Gene had pointed east, and near the top of the mountain they encountered a small group of police patrolling the mountain.

"What do you do?" A policeman stepped forward to question.

"Mr. Police Officer, we are camping tourists." Vincent took Henry's arm and replied.

The policeman looked at them, the male was fair and handsome, and the female was beautiful and weak, unlike the Macchiato mercenaries they were chasing, so they said, "You young lovers, pay attention to safety, the mountain is dangerous, hurry down the mountain."

"Mr. Police Officer, we want to camp by the sea, how can we get there?" Vincent asked.

"Climb to the top of the mountain and go down to a bay. Let's take you for a ride while patrolling."

So, with flashlights on, the police team escorted them all the way to the mountainside on the back slope, repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety, and continued to patrol the mountain.

When they came to the beach, Henry asked Vincent to sit beside him to rest, then picked up firewood, set up a bonfire, and went to the reef to pick some seashells.They sat by the fire, drank water, roasted seashells, and refueled.

"President, are you tired after walking for a day?" Henry gestured with concern.

The beating flames reflected flickering red on Vincent's pale face, adding a bit of mysterious beauty to him. He smiled: "It's okay!"

Henry looked at him with admiration, and gestured: "President, I didn't expect you to look very fragile, but you can endure hardship."

"I was born in poverty like you, and I don't feel what is suffering." Vincent replied.

Seeing Henry's eyes full of doubts, he then asked, "Do you want to know my story?"

Henry nodded, he really wanted to know the details of his growth.

Vincent tells Henry his story in dumb tongue:

"I am from Massachusetts, USA. My adoptive father, Tom Valentine, is a long-distance truck driver. One day, he passed a remote mountain road and picked me up on the side of the road for about three months. At that time, Tom's girlfriend took Their newborn child left him, and in order to fill the emotional void, he kept me and raised me as his own. Tom is kind-hearted, but has one biggest flaw—a penchant for gambling, and once he gets to the gaming table, he She would not go home for a few days and nights, and entrusted me to Maggie who was at the opposite door. Maggie was a prostitute. She gave birth to a daughter. When she was two years old, the child died in an accident. After that, she relied on Drugs paralyze myself. After I came, Maggie contracted my clothes and kept dressing me like a girl. Tom won money from gambling, and when he came home, he would bring me small gifts and teach me how to play cards. When he is happy, if he loses money, he has a very violent temper. I have to be careful to please him, otherwise I will be beaten. When Tom is not at home, if Maggie is busy with business, I will watch TV while Maggie goes to the street and so on. business, I just followed her, helped her do business, bought drugs, and learned to please clients, drug dealers and all kinds of street gangsters in all directions at a very young age. At that time, whenever I stood on the dilapidated street and listened to the alcoholic father Beating his wife violently, and Xi's children arguing over food and toys, a strong desire will be born in his little heart to get out of this block and go to the beautiful life on TV."

Huge sympathy arose in Henry's heart. He remembered that before his mother passed away, his father often visited the mother and son. The family of three was happy and warm. Perhaps, that was the beautiful life that little Vincent yearned for.

Vincent smiled at Henry, and continued to gesture:

"When I was five years old, Maggie married to England, and Tom sent me to school ahead of schedule. Since then, my vision has changed drastically. Because of my childhood dream, I have become the student who loves learning the most in the history of the school. The school attaches great importance to me. It cultivates my abilities in all aspects and guides me to learn to think independently and understand the world. The school library has become my favorite, and reading has opened another door to the wonderful world for me. I am determined to Keep working hard to realize your own life value. After graduating from high school and I was admitted to Harvard University, Tom and I thought we had a turning point in our fate, but tragedy happened during that summer vacation.”

Vincent sighed: "Because Tom has always been addicted to gambling, and seeing him being beaten sometimes because of his gambling debts, I feel very sorry for him. In elementary school and junior high school, I have been secretly buying drugs from street drug dealers and selling them on and off campus. I made money to help him pay off his debts. However, after high school, in order to apply for college, I devoted all my energy to studying and club activities. On the first day of the new year, five vicious men broke into our house. They were supposed to press for debts, but when they saw me, they became lustful and tried to plot evil around me. Tom picked up a knife and fended them off desperately. , to protect me from escaping, but I was hacked to blood by a few angry thugs, and died in pain three days later. The police characterized the case as a gang fight, and several thugs were locked up for a period of time before being released on bail by their superiors .”

A sad smile appeared on Vincent's face: "I lost my only family member. I was very sad, but I didn't shed tears. Fate will not sympathize with the weak. I remembered the faces and names of these people, so I made up my mind that sooner or later there will be One day, they will pay the price in blood!"

At this time, Vincent took a deep breath and continued to gesture: "I major in applied mathematics. In order to earn revenge money as soon as possible, I spend my spare time studying various gambling skills, and I go to the casino when I am on vacation Part-time job, training gambling skills. I study gambling every day, but I have never loved gambling. Perhaps it is because of this that I am never greedy when I go to the gambling table. Talented, invincible in gambling, and two years after graduation, I accumulated enough money to make the villains who killed Tom pay for their sins one by one."

Henry has been looking into Vincent's eyes silently, without interjecting a word. The ill-fated fate can only make a strong soul more frustrated and courageous. He admires and admires him from the bottom of his heart.

In the end, Vincent showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and he gestured: "Every alumnus of Harvard University has a dream of 'the world is different because of you', and so do I. I like economics. I majored in economics and Double major in Mathematics. After graduation, I should have chosen to be an investment broker on Wall Street. However, I am narrow-minded. If I don’t avenge my father, I will feel uneasy. In this way, I do not agree with Tom’s life from the bottom of my heart way, but embarked on the same life path as him with gambling."

Henry had mixed feelings in his heart. Vincent took the road of gambling to avenge his father, but he saw a fascinating photo of him.Now, he is sitting opposite this lively and beautiful person, talking to him with his heart, and he is more satisfied in his heart. Therefore, he looks at Vincent's eyes as deep as a lake, raises his hands, and gestures: " President, you don’t have to regret it, if the direction of life is right, the thorns and bumps mean a shortcut.”

He took out his mobile phone, typed a large line of words, turned it into a flash, and raised it facing Vincent:

"Today you are different because of the world, and tomorrow the world will be different because of you!"

Vincent looked at it, and his solemn expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled: "Henry, you are so optimistic!"

Henry returned an affectionate smile.

Vincent stared into Henry's eyes for a while, then turned his face to the sea, watching the waves crashing against the shore.

Henry added some material to the fire, stirred the charcoal fire, and the fire burned even more vigorously. Through the shadow of the fire, he quietly looked at Vincent's beautiful silhouette, watched his long hair being blown by the sea breeze, and secretly felt in his heart I swear that I will protect him well in this life, prevent his delicate shoulders from suffering those purgatory-like human sufferings, and help him realize his dream that the world will be different because of him.

After sitting silently for a long time, Vincent finally got up, "I'm going to sleep!" He got into the tent without pulling the zipper.

After a while, Henry leaned into the tent, and Vincent was already lying in his sleeping bag with his eyes closed.He stared at his face in the dark night for a long time, then reached for his bag, took out the sleeping bag, and dragged it outside the tent.Gently, he zipped up the tent from the outside.

Henry got into his sleeping bag, lay on his back on the beach, looked at the night sky full of nebulae, listened to the sound of crashing waves, and thought of the people in the tent. For the first time in his life, he was so far away from a person's heart Recently, he fell in love with the indomitable soul who had gone through hardships.In the past, he fantasized and caressed his body countless times, but today, he is willing to guard outside the tent and accompany his heart.He savored his trust, thanked him for his dedication, the kind of grace flowing in his heart, like a vast galaxy, constantly rushing in, drowning his heart, every thought of him was filled with the nectar of love , every nerve is intoxicated by the beauty of this love.
