Journey of a Thousand Miles

"Okay." Wu Jiu compromised a step, "Wash for a while to cool down the temperature, I'll go down and buy some medicine for you later."

"Hey--"

"Don't bargain with me." Wu Jiu interrupted Qianli's words, "Go ahead yourself first, don't be lazy, I'll tidy up here and go out, soon, wait for me to come back."

In order to hurry up, the other four will continue to train while the two on duty are cooking every day, so no one knows about this little episode that happened in the kitchen for the time being.

Wu Jiu simply tidied up the kitchen, asked the other four people to come out for dinner, explained the situation in a few words, took the keys and hurried out.When they came back, everyone else had finished eating, only Qianli was still in the inner hall.It's not that everyone doesn't care about Qianli, but it's really not a big deal. Qianli urges them to eat and work. He has rough skin and thick flesh, so such a small injury is not worth making a fuss about.

"Come on, apply the medicine." Wu Jiu walked to the dining table, sat beside Qian Li, and put a bag of things on the table.

"Let's eat the noodles first," Qianli raised his chin, "it won't taste good when it's cold."

"No hurry," Wu Jiu opened the box, took out a bottle of ointment, unscrewed the lid, "hands."

"I'll do it myself—"

"You can leave it to fend for itself, why don't you do it yourself?" Wu Jiu looked at him, "Hand."

Qianli had no choice but to obediently put his right hand on the table.

"Just say it hurts."

"Ah."

For a while, the air was silent, even the sound of breathing seemed a bit noisy, Wu Jiu lowered his head, concentrating on the movements of his hands, while Qianli looked at Wu Jiu who was concentrating, and unconsciously lost his mind.

It was indeed painful, especially when it was hot, as if the skin was burning hot, but this level was completely within the range of Qianli's tolerance. I don't remember when he exercised a kind of cruel reason. Small bumps happen from time to time. Qianli believes in the strong self-healing ability of the human body. The most serious one was probably a fever. He took his own temperature and checked various information on the Internet to confirm that his condition did not need to go to the hospital. , You don't even need to take medicine, you can pass it after a few days of rest.Facts have proved that he checked the information correctly. The difference between treatment and non-treatment lies in the experience of the process... On the night when the fever was the worst, his head exploded all night, and all the breathing channels seemed to be blocked. The word "discomfort" is far from enough to describe, even playing the lullaby over and over again could not soothe his roaring and irritable nerves.These are all good, but Qianli is afraid that he will burn his brains out...

Looking back now, all these experiences can only make him laugh at himself.Time is indeed the best medicine. All life is worse than death, and sooner or later it will settle into calm clouds and light winds.

Perhaps, only the present moment is the most worrying, the most persistent, the most incomprehensible and hard to let go, but it is also the most beautiful and the most happy.

"Okay." Wu Jiu's technique was careful and neat, applying medicine and bandaging, all at his fingertips, Qianli looked at the bandage on his hand, "Wu Jiu, whoever wants to marry you is really..." He After thinking about it, I thought about it again, but I couldn't find an adjective, "Hey, forget it."

Wu Jiu knew what he wanted to express, so he couldn't help but smile, "These are very common things."

"No, I understand why so many people like to cling to you, unlike me, who will die alone every minute." Qianli said happily, pushing one bowl of noodles in front of Wu Jiu, and then another. Bowl, "Eat noodles."

But no, he has been in the game field for 500 years, and it is common for him to fight with people.

"Are there many people who like to cling to me?" Wu Jiu smiled wryly.

"Yes." Qianli picked up a chopstick and sucked the noodles into his mouth, puffing his cheeks and said.

"Not really."

"Are you joking?"

"I said I was dumped, do you believe me?"

"Ah? Really?" Qianli opened his mouth wide.

"real."

"I'll go, who is so blind."

Wu Jiu took out a tissue from the tissue box, and wiped it on Qianli's collar very naturally, "The noodles are stained."

"Ah," Qianli was taken aback, "Oh."

"Don't mention the past." Wu Jiu said lightly.

"Hey, dare you have a dark history too."

If Wu Jiu doesn't mention it, Qianli will never ask about it. Wu Jiu understands this very well. I don't know if it is more gratification or helplessness.He does have a lot of his past and doesn't want to tell others. He doesn't want to be sympathized, praised or questioned or judged. He just wants to interact and get along with others normally.In this regard, Qianli has always given him a lot of space... so big that sometimes he doesn't know what to do.

They have known each other for 5 years now.During the four and a half years, they were just virtual identities to each other. Finally, they really got along day and night, and even slept in separate beds. Wugui thought that there would always be some kind of qualitative leap in things...

But it turned out that I thought too much.

Was his expectation wrong?

In the past, across the world, I felt that he was far, far away.

Now, fighting side by side, I still feel that he is far, far away.

It's like a minefield has been built invisibly. Outside the minefield, you can jump casually, but within the minefield, you can't step over it.

The most tangible moments, only those moments when galloping on the battlefield, the silent tacit understanding is the most powerful fetter.

Wu Jiu was thinking absentmindedly, the chopsticks turned over an egg in the unconscious pulling, Wu Jiu was startled, turned his head and looked at Qianli, "Why is the egg here?"

"what?"

"...I told you not to eat eggs and you wouldn't eat them. Since when did you become so sincere?"

"What do you say, when did I become dishonest?"

Wu Jiu didn't bother to complain about him, so he picked up a whole piece of egg and stuffed it into his bowl.

Qianli opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated for a moment, "...Let me just say, this noodle will be unpalatable when it's cold."

"Well, it's quite unpalatable."

In fact, he wanted to say, thank you.

Thank you for the many things he has been doing for him.

But thousands of miles can't say it.

Since the day they met, they have never been polite to each other.Qianli has always been teasing, teammates, you have to sell what you have to sell, and you can't be soft-hearted.

Why, treat me so well?

Maybe no one can see that Qianli's nerves are actually very sensitive.

Many things, not saying, does not mean not feeling.

It may be a deep-rooted symptom developed by being alone for too long, and Qianli can't tell whether he is indifferent or selfish.He never felt that anyone was obliged to be nice to him, and in turn, he didn't feel that he was obliged to be nice to anyone.Walk your own way, and be responsible for your own affairs.

Alone, it's fine.

Because of this, every bit of warmth from the outside world is so abrupt and distinct.

This is also the reason why he was reluctant to live with everyone at first.He is not suitable for living in groups.He doesn't think it's okay to be burned when it happens to him, and he probably doesn't think it's okay if it happens to someone else.

Acting is too tiring, and telling lies is too tiring, but the real him will inevitably appear ruthless and out of tune with the mainstream.

But no matter what.He made Qianli feel the other side of life.

Roughness can be turned into fineness, roughness can be turned into refinement, and some things that Qianli took for granted have been reversed one by one without fault.

Just like...

It's like family.

We have lived in the same house for several months, and there is no friction that Qianli worried about. On the contrary, it has exceeded his expectations.

this is not good.Qianli occasionally thinks that there is always a banquet in the world, let alone a short-lived e-sports career. When the inevitable end comes, how will he get rid of these unexpected companions?

this is not good.But he couldn't help it.

Very contradictory.How much I hope that tomorrow is the last game, and I just need to fight hard to accomplish a major event in my life.I also hope that this journey will be slower, and then slower, because I know well that once it is over, there will never be a second time.

Struggling, struggling, the days passed by.

No wonder Confucius said with emotion that the dead are like husbands, and they never give up day and night.

The two chattered nonchalantly, no matter how unpalatable the noodles were, they would finish them. After all, the two of them had no pursuit of it, and it was enough that Qianli couldn't eat it to death.

Qianli was "injured due to work", and Wugui took over the task of washing dishes, while Qianli wandered around him, telling him old-fashioned jokes from time to time.

"Your jokes are not good enough," Wu Jiu wiped his hands with a paper towel, "Let me tell you a ghost story."

"No blame, how much hatred?" Qianli said seriously.

"You didn't sleep alone, what are you afraid of?"

"What if I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?"

"I don't mind if you wake me up."

"I mind!"

"A doctor passed by the morgue while on duty one night..."

"Murder!" Qianli screamed and ran out of the kitchen.

Don't look at how leisurely the two of them are, apart from sleeping, eating and doing housework are the only time they have to relax every day. Once the high is over, they will immediately devote themselves to endless training.

In the blink of an eye, the weekend came, and the 11th and 12th rounds of this week played a hearty feeling.The Clan of My Name wins two consecutive victories against the Dynasty of God of War and the Scarlet Allied Forces. The Light of God fights against Haitian Yishi and Celebrities of the End Times and wins two consecutive victories. Longxiang Pavilion, two consecutive victories.

Energy is conserved, so there must be a change in each other. There are 4 consecutive victorious teams, and correspondingly there are 4 consecutive losing teams - Haitian Yishi, Moon Kingdom, Outlaws, and Blue Knights.
