He was already retreating crazily in his heart, and he also noticed that Mo Sen was a little disgusted to continue chatting, so he changed the subject with a smile:
"By the way, Mawson, what do you do when you're not at work?"
"Nothing." Mo Sen smoked to himself.
"Oh..." Tian Gang laughed, "I'm about the same, there's nothing special to do."
"But I've been feeling a little anxious lately. Well, it's just that kind of thing. I feel like I'm so lazy and just messing around every day. It's not going to work like this anymore, so I had a little chat with that colleague you don't like very much."
"Then he said that even super rich people often suffer from anxiety and depression. Everyone lives with anxiety. After all, life is a process of constantly generating anxiety and eliminating anxiety... That's about it. So I thought, Wow, it turns out that everyone is the same... Anyway, I am so strangely convinced by his theory. Haha, I can be considered relieved to the point of feeling——"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be the same?" Mo Sen interrupted Tian Gang.
"Eh?" Tian Gang's smile froze on his face.
"Neither I nor you, we are all completely finished."
Mawson's tone was not intense, it could even be said to be very peaceful, like a natural declaration, "At this point, how can people with nothing climb up from the gutter. Look at your daily life and those of the rich and powerful. The living environment is completely different.”
It's hard to say which one is more harsh, the content of these sentences or the tone of Mo Sen's words. Tian Gang felt uncomfortable and moved his butt on the chair, straightening his back a little:
"Not really. Although we are at the bottom of society now, there are many happy people at the bottom. For example -"
"Stop dreaming." Mo Sen sneered. "Only those who can still work hard for happiness will use this reason to comfort themselves. But then again, if they have the ability to climb to high places, they will not be cowards at all. It’s become what it is now.”
"Ahem, uh, um..."
Tian Gang couldn't think of any reasonable argument, and awkwardly stretched his right hand to the beer glass again, "That's right, haha..."
——"So, did you say something so harsh that he won't dare to come again in the future?"
Wang Dali's voice sounded, and the scenes were simply transitioned through voice-over, making the scene straightforward.
Colton in front of the screen breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and then subconsciously glanced at Damon and Jasper beside him, and saw that they were looking at the screen lazily, not paying attention to him. Only then did the embarrassment ease.
Just now, he inexplicably felt that he and Tian Gang had become one, and his psychological defense was easily broken through by Mo Sen on the opposite side.
"If they had that ability, they wouldn't be so cowardly as they are now"...Colton's face turned red when he heard it, and he felt like a thorn was stabbed in his heart. Of course, he wouldn't collapse from the pain, but he couldn't say anything at that moment. of discomfort.
Just like Tian Gang, he was offended by the accuracy and wanted to open his mouth to refute and prove to Mo Sen that "even a weak and insignificant person can achieve happiness as long as he works hard", but in fact he couldn't say anything. The voice wavered between "admission" and "self-deception", unwilling to believe that what Mawson said was right.
Yes, if you are always cowardly and timid, how can you successfully live the life you want?
The heat in Colton's flushed cheeks has not subsided. Doesn't he know that Damon and the others don't regard him as a true friend most of the time? He knows, he knows, but...it's so hard to make friends, and it's so hard to express and stick to your own ideas. "Following Damon's instructions" is obviously much easier. Being a follower is also one of the ways to express friendship. One way--Colton didn't want to think about it anymore.
Even in his heart, he didn't have the courage to face this problem head on.
This is so ridiculous, I can’t even think about it.
Colton's fingers unconsciously clenched the coffee cup, feeling suddenly self-defeating.
I am just a cowardly coward, so what... so what?
"Neither I nor you, we are all completely finished."
Mawson's words and the expression on his face flashed before his eyes again.
Colton's breath hitched.
It suddenly occurred to him that the man sitting in the small restaurant smoking a cigarette with a bleak look on his face had a pair of dark brown eyes.
as same as him.
