After completing his first mission, he couldn't sleep all night. In his dreams, he saw his father lying in a hospital bed, waiting for a kidney. On the other side was the person he loved, tortured to the point of physical exhaustion, nearly mentally broken, with a broken heart. Choosing between the two, which one would he choose?
He should choose his father without a doubt. Filial piety is the most important virtue. He only has one father, so he has to choose his father.
So he chose to say goodbye to his rebellious self and plunged into the mission. No matter he failed or succeeded, his only goal was to make money.
He often said things he didn't mean to others, and those expressions of like and love were all acted out through his body language. In the end, he took them seriously.
It wasn't until someone on a mission gave up on him for love, friendship, or family that Xu Jing finally realized the truth. It turns out choices are always a two-way street. You think your personality is despicable, but in reality, everyone is the same, living selfishly and despicably.
As the years passed, he became more at peace with letting go. His face, his heart, was enveloped in a state of deep sorrow, knowing full well that he was merely playing a part in a play. He and the person in his dream both understood the truth of the end of the song and the end of the people.
Then, he became what he is now, with only money in his eyes and nothing else.
It wasn't until Ji Xiaobing showed up that he realized what he had lost. Youth and time were secondary; the key was that he had lost the heart of his beloved.
When desires are filled with material things, his spiritual world will become very poor.
Don't expect a cactus to grow in poor sandy loam, because there will be no disappointment if you never have one.
"You have to respect Xiao Ji's choice." Meng You's meaningful look brought Xu Jing back to reality from his fantasy. The first thing he thought about was whether Xiao Ji was in trouble. "Are you short of money? Tell me how much you need and I can lend it to you."
"Excuse me, sometimes money can't solve everything, just like human hearts are sometimes much greedier than money."
Meng You grabbed Xu Jing's hand, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said with a smile, "There's nothing he can't get, except you."
There was something else going on in his words. Not only was Ji Xiaobing bewildered, but even Xu Jing was a little stunned. He looked at the watch on his left wrist and fell into deep thought.
"Ajing, you have to know that there is no free lunch in this world. Don't regret what you chose."
"I know."
"No, you don't know." Meng You shook his head, fished out some unique snacks from the bottom of the river, opened the package, and the neatly arranged Cheetos were revealed.
He arranged the Cheetos neatly, and in an instant it was like he was back on the battlefield, each Cheetos had a unique soul.
Meng You is playing chess. No, it cannot be said that Meng You is playing chess. It should be the person behind him who is playing chess.
Xu Jing, Ji Xiaobing, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Zhang are all pieces on the chessboard. Each piece has its place.
Once you enter the game, if you want to quit, you will become a discarded piece.
The price of abandoning a child is terrible, and he will be eaten alive.
As for the past glory and honor, they are all things of the past.
No one will tell you that you have made no contribution but have worked hard when you fail. People will only blame you for your incompetence that led them to failure.
So, when Meng You ate the most eye-catching crispy wedges in the front, Xu Jing felt a chill on his back and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
"Do you want to be so ruthless?"
"Remember, there is no Holy Father in our world. You can influence his life, but you can't accompany him all the way. So, being blind is also a good choice."
Xu Jing sneered, "I never said I wanted to be a holy father."
"The Holy Father wouldn't have any doubts. Xu Jing, you're smart and you know what suits you. He chose you for this reason, didn't he?"
What kind of riddle is this? Ji Xiaobing's small eyes revealed confusion. "Wait a minute, shouldn't they include me in the high-end game?"
"You're so stupid." Xu Jing and Meng You rolled their eyes at the same time. After looking at each other, Xu Jing smiled. "I understand. I will respect his choice."
"Yeah. Remember, the closer you get to Xiao Ji, the more he won't like it."
"Who is he?" Ji Xiaobing asked.
"Who else could it be? The person you were trying to capture." Xu Jing rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
"But, Mr. Meng, are you telling me this isn't a game?"
Programmers have a simple mindset: games can run smoothly just by setting up the code. They're all making games anyway, so playing the game is no different from being played.
Because of this, Ji Xiaobing was much more open-minded than Xu Jing. Being able to make money and play games at the same time was pretty good.
"Heartless people have such a good life." Xu Jing envied him sincerely. He patted Ji Xiaobing on the shoulder and said, "I'll take you on the next mission."
"Okay, I'll have Brother Xu protecting me, so I won't be alone."
"Wait." Meng You suddenly thought of something. The next mission wasn't going to be easy. "You're going to catch ghosts, so you might not have time to catch up with your old friends."
"Catching ghosts? You also accepted a mission for me to be a charlatan?"
"Don't be so harsh. This is a seemingly simple task, but it's actually quite complex. If you add Xiao Ji to the mix, we'll be stretched thin. We can't handle both. Okay, now that we've gotten this out of the way, let's go eat. I'll discuss the details with you tomorrow."
Why are you being so mysterious?
Xu Jing didn't understand.
You have to eat. Only after you have eaten a full meal can you have the energy to sleep.
The meal lasted until eleven o'clock. As the curtain was about to fall, Ji Xiaobing asked, "Brother Xu, do you live in the dormitory?"
"I bought a house and lived outside."
"Aren't you lonely living alone? Stay with me tonight." After meeting Meng You's strange gaze, Ji Xiaobing explained, "It's been a while since we last met. I wanted to take advantage of the little time we still have to have a good chat."
"Okay, you guys continue. Just don't do anything out of line, or I can't protect you." Meng You patted Xu Jing's shoulder and said, "Let's go back."
The dormitory is not far away, and it only takes ten minutes to get there by taxi.
Ji Xiaobing was new and currently staying in a double room. Fortunately, another seat was vacant, so Xu Jing could still sleep in the bed for one night.
"Brother Xu, you don't mind the things in the room, right?"
"Do I mind being useful? Give me a new pair of underwear."
Ji Xiaobing looked honest and simple, but he didn't expect his underwear to be all those cute kid-friendly styles. He threw a bright yellow SpongeBob SquarePants card in front of Xu Jing, and his drunkenness dissipated considerably. "You're just wearing a brief?"
"Yeah." Ji Xiaobing said with a blushing face, "If you mind, I can change it for you."
The result was that the old underwear was not dry, and the new underwear was only a pair of SpongeBob SquarePants briefs.
