You and me under the world tree

But no matter what, they will never care more about their children than when they were just born...or babbled.

Because they always have to work and always have to live.

So generally speaking, either the parents will be busy with work and return to normal family operations.

And if one of them is enough to support the family economy, it is not a bad idea for the other to take a long vacation.

But no matter what, parents will always pay less attention to their children.

This sense of gap is actually the source of the 'expression desire'.

They like to be noticed, so they will make all kinds of actions.

And when they get older, when they get used to being the center of attention, this habit will accompany them for life.

Even if they are not public figures like celebrities, as long as they do something to catch people's attention, they will feel a certain sense of comfort.

This is the so-called thrill of pretense...

They are very happy when a certain action attracts admiration or even surprise from others.

But not everyone in the world is like this, such as Hodder.

He had never been one to draw attention to himself.

And this is actually related to his childhood experience.

Because he didn't have parents, and when he was a child, he only had the impression of the orphanage, so he didn't have the impression and awareness of this aspect.

And what's more, for him as a child, the so-called 'conspicuousness' was actually a negative.

Because in his childhood impression, people around him always pay attention to one thing: his vision, his eyes.

The words he heard the most when he was a child were:

"This child is so smart, but it's a pity that his eyes are bad."

For the young Hodder, he paid attention to the first half of the sentence at first, but after listening to it a lot, he realized that the focus was actually on the second half.

Visually impaired, eyesight...

People seem to be born to laugh at the flaws of others.

Adults may be silent about this because of established moral values, but children will not.

Some people were right to sympathize with Hodder, but many more laughed at it.

So over time, Huo De lost his thoughts in this regard.

In the past, he might have had the idea of ​​proving himself, but then he understood one thing.

No matter how brilliant his achievements are, he will always be a visually impaired person in the eyes of others.

'Unfortunately I have vision problems'

'If it wasn't for his eyesight, he should be able to go farther'

'not yet blind'

Whether it is praising his efforts, regretting, or even ridiculing, these are inseparable from his own flaws.

Under such an almost gray environment, he also understood the truth of this aspect over time.

It doesn't need anything to stand out, he just needs to be himself.

The so-called homecoming?

No, it doesn't exist.

No need to tell others.

He never needs to satisfy that kind of personal desire that is close to showing off. To others, he is still the blind man.

Then, he would simply be that 'blind man'.

It's just plain, don't come up with it when you smell a little smell, it's not interesting.

Thinking of this, Hodder picked up the cup on the table and took a sip.

Not wine, but fruit juice.

At the same time, Huo De couldn't help but set his eyes on both sides of him, and then looked elsewhere.

In fact, even if it was a class reunion, everyone had allocated their seats in secret.

For reasons of embarrassment, no one wants to sit with strangers who are usually speechless.

Everyone is basically in the bedroom as a unit, chatting lively at the dinner table, but basically has little contact with other people.

Naturally, Hodder and the others are the same.

Sitting next to him were You Le, Guo Dalu and the others, and Mu Si was able to chat happily with most of the people because of his popularity.

However, this uproar has nothing to do with Hodder after all.

He calmly recited his congratulatory speech before, which was considered a way of saving face.

And just as he expected, because Huo De has always created the image of a "visually impaired person who studies well", no one talks to him.

He didn't show anything special in the class, so naturally he didn't get much attention.

There was no ridicule or slap in the face. After all, everyone has never had any grudges, and he has always been low-key, so naturally there is no such low-intelligence thing.

After all, most of you here are already at work.

Maybe still in an internship, maybe become a regular because of good performance.

But no matter what, they were theoretically beaten by society.

Some people do well, it's true, but most people are still just scratching their heads.

The vigor of the past is gradually fading, not to mention that there is no need to make any trouble today, after all, this can be regarded as a breakup meal.

Thinking of this, Huo De couldn't help turning his gaze back to the person beside him.

Mr. Fugui, he is also a low-key representative.

At this moment, he probably also felt Huo De's gaze, so Guo Dalu couldn't help but raise his head.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans at this time.

How should I put it, he will still save face after all, and he didn't come out in sweatpants and an old man's shirt.

At this moment, he is using chopsticks to pull the rice, on which there is braised chicken.

"What are you looking at me for?"

After wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth with a napkin, he asked.

"I just feel that you don't seem to have much to say, and you are usually a good guy in the class."

"It doesn't matter, after all, there is no common topic."

After hearing what Huo De said, Guo Dalu just smiled and shrugged.

"Besides, I'm not suitable for attracting attention on this occasion."

"uh-huh?"

"If someone finds out that I own this restaurant, guess what will happen?"

"that's true……"

After all, everyone always has the idea of ​​taking advantage.

Moreover, not everyone is willing to settle the account.

And in the end, this so-called dinner party, which Huode thought was useless, came to an end.

Chapter 42: Bullock Cart or Van

The party was finally over.

For most of the students, it just reminds them that the food here is really good.

As for the rest, that's about it.

It is worth mentioning that Guo Dalu did not disclose the fact that he is the owner of the restaurant until the end, so the money that should be collected is not less.

The atmosphere and interpersonal relationships within the entire class remained unchanged.

For Hodder, this can be understood by looking at their positions and other things.

Because even those who are about to break up are now a few good brothers and sisters get together, the kind of happy and harmonious behavior of the whole class, and even taking group photos together may only be seen in animation or movies.

At least that's true for Hodder's class.

In the end, even though four years have passed, because of the frequent change of classes in elective courses, there is no cohesion in the whole class.

So it's gone.

However, if the squad leader strongly requests, for his face, the students will probably give him a face.

After all, no matter how you say it, you are the monitor.

A class leader in a university is different from a high school.

Perhaps in high school, under the pressure of the college entrance examination, the class teacher and teachers have a strong influence.

In such a class, the so-called squad leader naturally requires excellence in many aspects.

Even, in this case, what the monitor needs is not a communication role, but a role model.

That is the so-called good students.

But college is different.

In the period just after the heavy pressure of the college entrance examination, some people will no longer obey the good students in the class because of their mental relaxation.

That is to say, when there is no head teacher but only counselors, learning itself is no longer the only measure.

And more importantly, counselors need to manage not only a class, but a whole grade, and sometimes they are simply too busy.

And for a considerable number of students who don't cause trouble and keep a low profile, the number of times they see counselors can be counted on the fingers.

It may be once a few weeks, or even only on some important occasions to meet with the counselor.

In this case, the squad leader has a little bit of power to a certain extent.

To a certain extent, he represents the entire class and needs to replace the class in external communication.

As such a character, the most important thing for him is to gain the trust of the classmates in the class.

In other words, the factor that finally determines this position is no longer academic performance or other abilities, but: popularity.

If you want to control the class, you must have a good relationship with the people in the class. This is almost common sense.

Because the so-called squad leader is a classmate in the final analysis, there is no high and low division or class in the whole class theoretically.

Hodder's class is like this, the class leader is actually a very winking person.

He seems to be able to get along with anyone happily, and can control the situation no matter what the topic is.

To put it simply, such a person should be able to thrive theoretically.

But now, on the face of the head squad leader, there was a well-hidden but lingering bitterness.

Since he can get along happily with anyone, it also means that he has his own unique knowledge and experience in interpersonal communication.

Then, he will inevitably find that the class has been a mess until now.

And until the end, they failed to become a collective.

Although it looks kind on the surface, it is actually that way.

"It's been hard work..."

Looking at the squad leader's forced smile, Huo De couldn't help but sighed.

Do you remember what the monitor's name was?

Ah, no impression.

For a moment, Huo De didn't remember the name of the squad leader who seemed to be second only to the good guy Guo Dalu.

But in fact, with his memory, this kind of thing can be recalled after careful thought.
