Extra

the man

Hello there.

the man

Can I hold you for 2 minutes?

the man

I... have something to say.

the man

Thank you for listening.

the man

My name is Luo Huaixin, and I am currently working in a security company in Q City.

the man

but……

the man

I used to be a thief.

the man

I've been a troubled boy ever since I was a kid.

the man

Don't like to study, skip class, fight, do too many bad things, I don't remember how many.

the man

Later, when I was in fifth grade, I started stealing things.

the man

Maybe the family money was taken out by my father to gamble?Or was it taken by my mother to take drugs...

the man

Who knows.

the man

In short, on the day of the fifth grade, I was so hungry that I stole a bag of bread from the shopkeeper at the school gate.

the man

Haha, since then, I have also become a social scum.

the man

Although I was young at the time, my hands and feet were still very fast.Been petty for years and never got caught.

the man

Although I haven't stolen banknotes from other people's houses.

the man

So maybe that's why I remember the first time I got caught stealing someone's wallet so well.

the man

That day I took 1000 yuan from my mother's wallet and bought a ticket to leave K city.

the man

Maybe it was the money she used to buy powder - or the money I got from my father's concubine to pay my tuition.

the man

But no matter what the money is used for, I don't want to stay in this city for a day.

the man

I want to go far, the farther the better.

the man

But it wasn't until I got to the airport that I realized that I had nothing on me except the ticket.

the man

Do you believe?

the man

When the sun falls on a person, it is so cold that it makes you shiver.

the man

But who told me to be an optimist?

the man

I looked up, and not far from me was the pick-up port.

the man

There were a lot of people picking up the plane, and there was a person inside who kept his head buried behind his pick-up sign, and the back of his neck was all red.

the man

I don't know why he did it, but I'd love to see him like that.

the man

Because his wallet was stuffed in the back pocket of his trousers.

the man

The white one seems to be printed with small yellow flowers, like the kind used by students.

the man

I stood behind the pillar and watched him for a long time.

the man

He seemed to be waiting for someone, but he didn't know why the pick-up gate was almost gone, so he still held a sign and poked it there like a nail.

the man

It wasn't until a tall man next to him patted him on the shoulder from behind that he put down the sign as if taken aback.

the man

His attention was completely attracted by the new man. If I don't make a move at this time, there will be no chance.

the man

The wallet arrived smoothly.

the man

Judging by their appearance, it was obviously the first time they met, so I wasn't worried about anything.

the man

But it's probably because it's my first time stealing other people's money.

the man

When I heard him yell "the wallet is missing", I still panicked subconsciously.

the man

At that moment, I knew that it was revealed.

the man

The tall man standing next to him jumped over with a "teng".

the man

I don't know where he got the courage to hand over all his luggage to someone who was obviously meeting him for the first time.

the man

But only to chase me, a thief.

the man

His face should have been considered pretty.

the man

It should be the type that my cousins ​​would like very much.

the man

But when he chased me, I caught a glimpse of his face out of the corner of my eye, and my legs were so frightened that I couldn't control them.

the man

Haha, maybe I'm guilty of being a thief, and I can't completely say that he is vicious.

the man

Of course, in the end I got caught.

the man

After that, I watched him and the people from the police room turn around and walk away with the wallet.

the man

Leaving me alone and the police comrades staring at each other.

the man

Of course, getting into the game is commonplace for me.Being detained for two days was probably more comfortable for me than going home.

the man

I was only locked up for a week.

the man

But after coming out, when I got home, I found...

the man

My mother is dead.

the man

Drug overdose.

the man

Drugs, once contaminated, can never be stopped in a lifetime.

the man

What's more, she, a woman with such low self-control, has been in and out of the drug rehabilitation center seven times.

the man

I'm not upset at all.

the man

Really.

the man

I knew from a young age that she would have such a day.

the man

I just wondered if she hadn't touched drugs, would she be nagging me about getting into a police station now.

the man

Later, I went to my father.

the man

He seemed quite indifferent, playing mahjong with his poker players around the table around the table, the smell of cigarettes in the room was so choking that one could hardly breathe.

the man

He can't seem to see me.

the man

I just stood in the corner of the chess and card room, and my ears were filled with the sound of mahjong tiles colliding together.

the man

Brain buzzing.

the man

But I don't know why, even though it was so noisy at the time, the sound from the Internet cafe next door to the chess and card room still reached my ears.

the man

I would like to name it "Fate", or "Fate".

the man

Maybe I'm being self-indulgent, ha.

the man

I followed the sound to the Internet cafe, and as soon as I entered the gate, I saw dozens of people surrounding a screen, enjoying themselves.

the man

I also watch with them.

the man

That was the regular season of the second season, a match between Team Hundred Blossoms and Team Jade Xian.

the man

There is such a beautiful light coming from the muzzle of the pistol.

the man

At that time, to be honest, I wanted to cry.

the man

Thinking about it now, I think it might be that those light effects are too dazzling.

the man

In that game, I remember two people.

the man

Falling flowers are in a mess, and hundreds of flowers are dazzling.

the man

One is the guy who caught me at the airport, and the other is the guy I stole from at the airport.

the man

I should obviously hate them.

the man

If it wasn't for getting caught at the airport, I might still be in time...

the man

I had time to go home and see my mother for the last time.

the man

But that day, my tears kept flowing, but there seemed to be a light in my heart.

the man

I watched the press conference after the game.

the man

Even though they are the same age, I seem to see on their faces the kind of high-spiritedness that is like stepping on the world under my feet that I will never have in my life.

the man

Is it possible to become the same person as them after playing the game well?

the man

With a little bit of ulterior jealousy, I started running from Internet cafe to Internet cafe, hoping to become a network administrator.

the man

In this way, maybe we can get a little closer to them?

the man

But you also know that I get into games more often than I go home.

the man

Haven't finished high school, let alone college.

the man

For a person like me who has no education and bad records, naturally no merchant would dare to use me.

the man

In the end, I was forced to return to my old job.

the man

Yes, I've become a habitual thief.

the man

The police station is my home, and the detention center is my bed.

the man

However, in addition to stealing, I will also pick up some cans and beverage bottles, and sell them when I save enough to fill the house, which can be exchanged for 50 yuan.

the man

Then, I will use the cleaner money to go to Internet cafes, board the glory, forget everything in reality, and imagine that the ammunition expert on the screen is me.

the man

I also watch games with other players in the Internet cafe.

the man

That's right, when there are Hundred Blossoms matches, usually as a thief, I'm out of business.

the man

I don't want to cheer for Dazzling Flowers together with the police comrades in the detention center.

the man

Just like that, I dawdled around, waiting for Team Hundred Blossoms' second runner-up.

the man

Actually, I can't figure it out.

the man

Why did Mingming win the runner-up in such a remarkable way, and why did he win the season MVP, bathed in everyone's applause,

the man

But he was never happy.

the man

Is it because a teammate retired?Or is it because you didn't win the championship?

the man

I think maybe we are people from two worlds.

the man

I look at things that are out of reach, but they are not enough for him.

the man

What was I thinking at the time?

the man

Might be a bit bitter.

the man

I didn't watch the post-match press conference.

the man

I haven't opened for almost a month for finals.

the man

If I don't touch anything, I really have to drink Mistral.

the man

That night, I checked the doors of many families.

the man

But my luck is not so good.Some of those people have dogs, and some have smart locks that I can't pry open...

the man

In short, after a busy night, at the end, I was still empty-handed and got nothing.

the man

I thought, maybe I and Team Hundred Blossoms had bad luck tonight.

the man

But I haven't eaten for a day.

the man

I thought, try the last one again.

the man

If not, I'll go back to sleep and forget about this damn hunger.

the man

Contrary to my expectations, this time I succeeded easily.

the man

The door of this family was not locked, and I pried it open in two or three times.

the man

I entered the house as quietly as possible so as not to alarm the owner.

the man

But if I thought I was so light-handed that I didn't make a sound at all——

the man

There was still a sound in the house.

the man

It was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.It hurts like a person rolling off the bed.

the man

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps.

the man

I was terribly frightened, thinking it was over this time.

the man

But when I saw people running out of the house in a hurry——

the man

That is, Zhang Jiale.

the man

A few hours earlier, I saw him in the live broadcast of Market Hall B...

the man

Why is he here now?

the man

My mind went blank.

the man

At that time, I seemed to want to say something, but I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

the man

but……

the man

When he ran out of the room, the gleam in his eyes could illuminate the whole room——

the man

After seeing me, the light seemed to be drained in an instant.

the man

He didn't call for a thief, nor did he reprimand me.

the man

His eyes looked at me - but I felt like he couldn't see me.

the man

Those eyes seemed to pass through me, looking in a direction I didn't know;

the man

He cried.

the man

No warning.

the man

He leaned against the wall, didn't say a word to me, just slowly slid along the wall and sat on the ground, two lines of tears suddenly flowed down.

the man

At that moment, my heart felt like it was stung by some insect, and it hurt sharply.

the man

I want to comfort him, but I don't know why his tears are so turbulent.

the man

His whole body trembled, but he still bit his lip tightly and didn't make a sound.

the man

I took out two paper towels and wiped his tears, but he didn't seem to feel my presence anymore, and there was no trace of the high-spirited look in my memory in those eyes.

the man

His tears flowed down his cheeks and onto my hands, scalding like lava, making my ears turn red.

the man

I don't know how long he cried, but maybe he was tired from crying, so he fell asleep leaning against the wall with teardrops on his cheeks.

the man

I carried him back to bed and covered him with the blanket.

the man

Watching the moonlight fall on his face, I suddenly thought,

the man

I fell in love with him.

the man

But I am amused by the idea myself.

the man

I fell in love with him.

the man

So what?

the man

I'm just a thief.

the man

A scum of society who has lived in the sewer since he was a child and has never seen the light of day.

the man

But he was like a light.

the man

It came in from the gap and shined all the way to the bottom of my heart.

the man

I want to protect him.

the man

I don't want to see him so turbulent tears again.

the man

I want to see his full of vigor and vigor, I want to see his awe-inspiring eyes, I want to see him change the clip of a pistol to the camera, I want to see him smile, I want to see him happy and complete.

the man

But I am only a thief.

the man

I have neither the ability nor the qualifications to contaminate this beam of light.

the man

But when I walked out of his house, looking at the moon overhead, I thought,

the man

I can't go down like this anymore.

the man

I want better.Even just a little bit can bring me closer to him.

the man

I went to my father.

the man

I knelt before him.

the man

He seemed surprised.

the man

Of course, how could the rebellious white-eyed wolf son in his memory be shy and submissive to him after breaking off relations with him for four years.

the man

But I knelt down.

the man

I begged him, help me.

the man

I want to have a job, a job that can see the light, a job that can be spoken.

the man

He looked at me for a while, smoked half a pack of cigarettes in silence, and finally called my second uncle.

the man

There was no need to hide the disdain on Second Uncle's face.He took me into a room and said he was going to introduce me to the leader.

the man

I don't mind his attitude.Because I'm going to have a job.

the man

The leader seems to be very satisfied with me, but he is also afraid of my too "brilliant" resume.So he set a two-year probationary period for me. During the probationary period, I was provided with food and lodging but no salary.If I can do it, turn me into a full-timer.

the man

I just found out...

the man

The job I was interviewing for was the security guard of the Hundred Flowers Club.

the man

I arrived at the post in the afternoon, and I was so nervous, excited, and apprehensive that I didn't know what kind of expression I should use to meet people.

the man

But before I realized the reason for my smiling face, I heard someone shouting "Brother Le is back" outside.

the man

My heart immediately reached my throat.

the man

I peeked out through the window of the security room and saw Zhang Jiale standing at the gate.

the man

His eyes were still swollen.

the man

But he was still smiling.

the man

That kind of calm smile, it's almost as if the person who cried and trembled last night was not him.

the man

But I don't know why, seeing him laugh like this makes me sadder than seeing him cry.

the man

but what can i do

the man

I'm just a thief.

the man

The only thing I can do is to prepare the most sought-after dishes for him in an insulated bucket while he is still in the training room for extra training during lunch time, and then entrust his teammates to deliver them to him.

the man

That is to say, when he was still staying up late in the training room during winter nights and finally fell asleep, he secretly turned on the temperature of the air conditioner in the training room even higher.

the man

That is, when watching his game, he shouted louder than others...

the man

Haha, I also feel that I am extremely stupid.

the man

But I don't know why, he probably doesn't know my existence even though he's doing trivial things, but my heart is wrapped in warm currents.

the man

I watched him train day and night, lead the team to win one game after another, and watched him burn his life as if he was tireless...

the man

But on his face, in front of the tiredness that he tried so hard to hide, I can't find a trace of his youthful spirit in my memory.

the man

In the seventh season, Team Hundred Blossoms had its third runner-up trophy.

the man

When the team bus pulled into the club and the players got off the bus, I saw him sitting in the last row of the bus with his head leaning against the window.

the man

The reflection on the glass obscured his face, and I couldn't see his expression clearly.

the man

But at that time, I actually hoped that he would have a good cry;

the man

Instead of wearing such a tired and hopeless body that can no longer be concealed, you have to forcefully pull the corners of your mouth and say "it's okay" to everyone.

the man

Later, he retired.

the man

Many people in the security dormitory scolded him.

the man

How much I loved at the beginning, how much I hate now.

the man

I also tried to understand them, but in the end, I just wanted to take out those guys who said "betrayal" and beat them up——

the man

Who the fuck has paid more than him over the years!

the man

With his light, they can enjoy such a glimmer of glory that they can't get by themselves.Now it was just that he was tired and wanted to rest, so why did they accuse him of "betrayal"!

the man

But in the end, I didn't say these words out of my mouth.

the man

I think I may have changed.

the man

Became cowardly, no longer as before, fearless.

the man

Maybe it's because I want to keep my hard-won job.

the man

Thinking of the way my father was always taking care of his younger brother, whom he had severed ties with long ago, I swallowed the words welling up in my throat.

the man

However, it didn't take long for him to come back.

the man

It's just that he no longer works for Hundred Blossoms.

the man

He went to Tyranny.

the man

The comments about him around me became more and more unsavory. At the end, it seemed that everyone wanted to learn from Yuemiao. A bronze statue of Zhang Jiale was erected in the hall, and everyone passing by had to spit to relieve their anger.

the man

My teeth are about to shatter.

the man

But I still endured and said nothing.

the man

I don't want to be a thief anymore.

the man

I want to live in the sun.

the man

So the price of living in the sun is that during those days, I spent almost every day accompanied by oral ulcers.

the man

Until the regular season of the ninth season, Hundred Blossoms played against Tyranny at home.

the man

After more than a year, I saw him again.

the man

He was haggard a lot, he was so thin that he was almost out of shape, and his eye sockets were sunken.

the man

But his spirit is quite different from when he left.

the man

There was a gleam in his eyes that I once knew so well.

the man

That determined, stubborn, feline focused light on its prey.

the man

After seeing this beam of light, the boos from the auditorium seemed to be less harsh.

the man

Naturally, those who make trouble must be dealt with.

the man

I went and dragged out the audience who took the lead in throwing mineral water bottles at him.

the man

Of course, I can guarantee that on the way to drag him out, I didn't try my best. He will definitely not have bruises on his arms the next day after he comes home.

the man

Haha, I promise.

the man

But when I came back, I saw that bastard Zhao Xiaole!

the man

That turtle bastard!

the man

He actually hit Zhang Jiale!

the man

This bastard entered the club later than me, but as soon as he came, he used his name with the word "le" to make friends with Zhang Jiale in every possible way.

the man

But now, how dare he...

the man

How dare he!

the man

Zhang Jiale in the distance seemed to express that he didn't want to pursue this matter.

the man

But if he doesn't pursue it, it doesn't mean that no one will pursue it.

the man

After the game, I beat Zhao Xiaole's grandson.

the man

The brat who usually looks arrogant can't withstand three punches under my hands.

the man

Oh, waste.

the man

I admit that all the anger I have borne in the past two years has been vented into these few punches on Zhao Xiaole.

the man

I know how much strength is used.

the man

So I broke three ribs, one leg bone and the bridge of the nose, and was sent to the hospital screaming, I was not surprised at all.

the man

So I was fired from the Hundred Flowers Club, and I wasn't surprised at all.

the man

I was only surprised that I beat Zhao Xiaole into that kind of virtue, but he was still in the hospital, looking at me with a bruised nose and swollen face, and sneered, saying that he would not pursue it anymore, and he would settle with me.

the man

So this time, I did not enter the detention center again.

the man

I just lost my job.

the man

I don't regret it.

the man

I just feel that there are so many people who are sorry for my father.

the man

But one has to look ahead, right?

the man

Life goes on.

the man

I bought a ticket to Q City with the money I had saved in the past two years.

the man

In Q City, I found a security company willing to hire ex-prisoners with ex-convicts

the man

Then, I did it down.

the man

While working, I also watch Glory matches with my colleagues.

the man

It's very harmonious now, because everyone likes Team Tyranny.

the man

But there are still some people who can't understand Zhang Jiale, saying that he is a domestic slave with two surnames, and he will do anything for the championship.

the man

This time, I didn't hold back any more and just let him talk shit.

the man

I got into a fight with him.But the strange thing is that he had the upper hand during the fight, but after that he never said bad things about Zhang Jiale.

the man

Then, we ushered in Zhang Jiale's fourth runner-up.

the man

Unusually, everyone in the dormitory was silent, with deep regret on their faces.

the man

I can't tell what it feels like in my heart.

the man

I dare not think about it.

the man

I am afraid that after thinking about it, my heart will not be able to bear the overly desperate emotions;

the man

I'm even more afraid that I can't help trying to figure out Zhang Jiale's mood, making myself feel even more uncomfortable.

the man

But he still didn't give up.

the man

In the tenth season, he started again.

the man

And after experiencing a match against a little-known team called "Righteousness", his face reappeared in the camera, and he actually carried the youthful spirit when I saw him back then.

the man

Because, the man who competed with him,

the man

His name is Sun Zheping.

the man

I have a faint feeling.

the man

I think the relationship between the two of them may not be as simple as former teammates and current opponents.

the man

But this feeling is embarrassing for me.

the man

Obviously I'm afraid of being recognized as a thief once,

the man

Obviously Zhang Jiale may not even remember who I am...

the man

But I am still ashamedly jealous of that Sun Zheping who retired for five years and stood on the same stage with him again.

the man

But I am also deeply grateful to him.

the man

Because of him, Zhang Jiale seemed to be alive again.

the man

The face of the young man who was pressed deep in my memory was being gradually superimposed on the picture on the TV in front of my eyes.

the man

Of course, this season, he still did not win the championship.

the man

He didn't even make it to the finals.

the man

But I know that his young heart has already started beating in his chest again.

the man

He is smiling.

the man

Laugh from the bottom of your heart.

the man

that's enough.

the man

For the next World Invitational, poor people like us naturally don't have the ability to go abroad to watch.

the man

So my colleagues and I voluntarily transferred the night shift to watch the game in the early morning. It was hard to follow the schedule of the Chinese team without a game.

the man

Seeing the final, when the Chinese team won the championship,

the man

Alas, let me adjust my mood.

the man

It's embarrassing to say...

the man

I cried, and my colleagues cried too. A group of old men hugged each other, and the girls couldn't stop crying for a long time.

the man

Haha, I made you laugh.

the man

Of course, our boss is also among us.

the man

Howled with us for a long time, and then said with snot and tears, give us a few days off, and everyone will go to City B together to join the Glory League fan support group and clean up the dust for the heroes.

the man

So, thanks to the boss, a group of us happily went to City B.

the man

Screams, cheers, applause, whistles, many voices mixed together, a mess.

the man

But it doesn't seem to reach my ears at all.

the man

Because there is a little silver light, it hurts my eyes.

the man

On Zhang Jiale's left ring finger, there was a silver ring.

the man

And Sun Zheping, who was talking with him behind him, also wore a ring on his left ring finger.

the man

That is……

the man

Championship ring.

the man

If I guessed correctly, Zhang Jiale's name should still be engraved on the inside of that ring.

the man

My tears flowed down with a swipe.

the man

But I actually wanted to laugh.

the man

My wish came true.

the man

Zhang Jiale was smiling, he was living a happy life.

the man

So besides wishing him well, is there anything else I can do?

the man

I'm not a good thief.

the man

My heart was stolen.

the man

But I followed the one who stole my heart,

the man

Finally climbed from the bottom of the sewer to the ground.

the man

The sun fell on the body, and it was warm.

the man

It seemed to light up my future life together.

the man

I am no longer a thief.

the man

My story, when it comes to now, is almost gone.

the man

Thank you for listening to me.

the man

I still have work to do, so I won't say more.

the man

I wish you a happy life, goodbye.
