My childhood sweetheart has been a little weird lately

Chapter 14 Poverty Makes You Sober
Brother Xia forbids him to stay up late to play games, but Su Bai insists on playing games.

I have nothing to do other than report tomorrow, even if I am sleepy all the time, it doesn't matter.

Li Haoran is currently in an express hotel about one kilometer outside the east gate of the school. He is the type of student whose parents accompanied him to report, so he doesn't need to worry about anything, so he decided to play games tonight.

It is still apex double row.

Tonight Li Haoran didn't turn on the voice changer (maybe it's a fake voice?) to trick passers-by, earnestly earn points.

Reporting tomorrow, the next two days will be lectures and course selection, and then military training will begin.

Given that the campus of Ninghai University of Science and Technology is large enough, the location of the military training is on campus.

Even so, according to the experience provided by the seniors and sisters in the freshman group, during the military training period, I get up at [-] o'clock in the morning every day, and finish training at [-] o'clock in the evening and go back to the dormitory. There is almost no time left for Li Haoran to play games. Start scoring more points.

After all, he needs to level up to earn living expenses.

He also played at low ranks, but in any serious matches, Li Haoran would play by himself, and would never bring along Su Bai, a good-for-nothing and show-loving ruffian.

When Li Haoran spoke normally, his voice was normal.

And normal often means boring.

When you can't meet people while running the map in chicken-eating games, if your teammates don't do their jobs, you will be too idle to panic.

So Su Bai remembered what happened today, and said to Li Haoran, "I seem to have strange thoughts about Brother Xia."

"What strange idea?"

"Evil thoughts."

"..."

Li Haoran was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "It's nothing, it's not surprising that you two have been together since childhood, and have been in love for a long time."

"No, no, no, you don't understand." Su Bai muttered, "It's a very pure physical impulse, I'm sure I don't like her like a boyfriend and girlfriend, I just suddenly greedy her body."

"That may be why you should...how about I post a few more treasured videos?"

"It's useless. I have taken various measures, but I still can't suppress the evil thoughts in my heart. Ahhh, should I go to the hospital to have my brain checked?"

Li Haoran fell into silence again.

Playing games together for a summer vacation, he gradually realized that his roommate thought differently from ordinary people, especially when it came to love.

Take Li Haoran himself as a comparison, saying that being single is wonderful being single, but it is more of a self-deprecating one.

Being from a poor family who loves nerds and doesn't know how to coax girls, being single is almost an inevitable choice, but if one is really lucky and meets the right one, Li Haoran will give it a try.

If Li Haoran had a childhood sweetheart who played with him since he was a child, and both of them were single until college, then he would definitely try to upgrade the relationship into a boyfriend and girlfriend.

But Su Bai is different, for love, he has a natural rejection, it can even be said to be fearful.

I don't know what happened.

Li Haoran thought for a while, and said: "Going to the hospital is an exaggeration, it's bad, anyway, the face-to-face interview will be tomorrow, and then let me see your real deity, and then make an evaluation."

"All right."

Playing the game, Li Haoran thought to himself, he guessed that the "Brother Xia" that Su Bai was talking about must not look good, otherwise why would there be so many entanglements?
It must be so right.

After playing at one o'clock, Su Bai went to bed after playing the game, so Li Haoran also turned off the computer, washed up lightly, and lay down on the single bed in the express hotel in a daze.

In the room, there was only the dim light from the bathroom, and the noise of the construction site could be faintly heard outside the window.

This hotel is not close to the school, and there is a construction site next to it, so the noise is ridiculously loud, so the room rate is relatively cheap. During the school season when hotel prices generally skyrocket, the standard room "only" costs [-] days.

Two rooms were opened, Li Haoran's parents slept in the standard room next door, and Li Haoran slept in the single room by himself.

The original intention of the parents is to only open one standard room, save money, and squeeze it out.

But Li Haoran felt a little embarrassed, so he paid for an extra room for himself.

This summer vacation, for the first time in Li Haoran's life, he has fully devoted himself to the game environment.

In more than two months, Li Haoran's lol queen became the top ten in Hanbok, and the top hunter in apex, Sparrow Soul... Forget it, I won't talk about Sparrow Soul, this is of no reference value.

In short, his game talent has been verified, and it is indeed of a level that can play professionally.

Probably because he was playing the mid laner position, which is in short supply for excellent domestic players, a professional team invited him to participate in a trial training last month.

It's the second team of the first-tier team. To be honest, it's very promising.

But Li Haoran is 20 years old this year. He grew up in the countryside, went to school late, and was repeated a year in junior high school due to physical reasons. He is 20 years old, which is very old for e-sports youth training.

If you give up your studies to play professionally, of course it is possible to become famous, but the most likely result is to be wasted in the youth training team until you are 25 years old, your energy and reaction speed will decline, and then you will retire quietly.

The salary will not be low, and it is easy to have a monthly salary of over [-], but what about after retirement?

Missing the golden age of studying, career development will be greatly restricted, and the future is unpredictable.

The sunk cost of such a life route is too great.

After careful consideration, Li Haoran decisively rejected the invitation for trial training.

Although he really likes to play games, his parents are just ordinary migrant workers. In Li Haoran's life, the fault tolerance rate is really not very high.

It is better to read his 985 carefully and find a stable and good job, which is more realistic.

As for the game, I simply play power leveling to satisfy my interest and make money at the same time. For Li Haoran, power leveling in ordinary sub-stages is pure relaxation, and he doesn't use his brain much. He earns a few dollars a month. Thousands are still easy.

His mother worked in a printing factory, and that was all she earned every month.

Recalling what happened in the past two months in his mind, Li Haoran felt a little unwilling. After all... A young man full of passion, of course hopes to turn what he loves into a career.

But he finally made a rational choice based on his family background.

Poverty makes a man sober.

School will start tomorrow, thinking of this incident, Li Haoran's back goes numb.

He is not yet mentally prepared. Li Haoran's personality is very introverted in reality. It is much more difficult for him to integrate into a new group than the top ten in Hanbok.

Now that I have chosen to go to school seriously, the start of school has some pressure.

Can you get along well with your classmates?

Can the curriculum be adapted?
Shouldn't he be failing in the first semester?

He was a little confused, he was a little nervous.

The luck of the misfortune is that he is already familiar with Su Bai. Although Su Bai hasn't said anything about it, Li Haoran can tell from some details that this person's family must be unusual. He has a lot of knowledge, but he has no arrogance , Li Haoran is very glad that he can make such a good friend before school starts.

Moreover, Su Bai is a staunch bachelor, and being friends with him is not in danger of eating dog food and showing off.

Great!
After playing with the phone for a while, sleepiness struck, and at some point, Li Haoran sank into the fragrance of dreams.

The construction site outside the window is still restless.

It's like a city that never sleeps.
