Chapter 97: Rejected James, the meaning of wanton spending



  Looking at the little green among the thousands of flowers, Roland had to sigh, this is the biggest difference between natives and outsiders.

For James, associating as he likes is the most normal way of thinking in America, but for Roland, they guys are really over-enthusiastic—this kind of conflict of ideas cannot be changed in a short while. Yes, and Roland didn\'t think about changing it. He felt that the current living conditions were pretty good.

And with the little guy Elizabeth as a shield, the frustrating thing of announcing the end of the party becomes logical. Although many old classmates want to communicate with Roland for a while, their parents are extremely sensible, even if they How do you want to get close to the mistress Ganetti, but they still understand the rules of the social circle, and the behavior of stalking will only make people hate them, and with the addition of Roland\'s eleven-year-old age, these Guys don\'t worry about it.

  Even if Roland drops out of school, he may never enter the same school as his own children in his life, but his good buddy James is still studying hard! Although it is impossible to do such things as looking far away, they will still be able to catch big fish with a long line! Just like today, isn\'t it a way to create opportunities by letting children encourage James to have a party?

   In this way, after Roland pointed to Elizabeth and told the guests in apologetic manner that the child was noisy and wanted to go home to listen to the story, the parents of the students who had already had dinner at noon showed their understanding.

"The little one in my family is also babbling every day to listen to stories. I asked the nanny to tell him, but he was still not happy. He asked me to read to him with a picture book, so now I dare not go back late. , I\'m afraid that he will mess around at home..."

   "Yeah, it\'s really tiring to take care of the children. I have to pick up her sister at four o\'clock. I didn\'t know how to tell you. I didn\'t expect you to go back. It\'s really a coincidence..."

   "Roland, what stories do you usually tell Elizabeth? Lilian, the older sister, never helps me take care of her younger brother, and she often says something—\'Beat my younger brother as soon as possible\'?"

"Is it "Peter Pan"? It was reported earlier that you performed very well in Spielberg\'s crew. When will the movie be released? I think Marina and the others can\'t wait to watch this fairy tale movie It\'s..."

  The conversation and inquiry when parting is just to lay a good foundation for cooperation for the next meeting.

   To put it bluntly, most of the time, it\'s just looking for something to say.

  Would they not know about Roland\'s guest appearance in "Captain Hook"?

How can it be!

But I asked the last question "casually", didn\'t I just want to have a good reason before and after the movie was released, so that my children could have more contact with James... What\'s more, Roland didn\'t think that this kind of desire to climb up , what\'s the problem, if you go with the tide and don\'t even have a thought when an opportunity arises in your life, then you will become a walking dead!

  Even the police officer Terry in "Undead Police Officer", who is no longer human, has his own desires. If their parents can be as desireless as saints, then people will believe in them after many years.

  So, even though Roland was not interested in this kind of close communication, he still said goodbye to the ladies with a smile on his face.

However, as everyone left, Roland, who had been smirking for a long time, saw a girl with sharp eyes shaking hands with James, and the next second after the action was over, the hand that the little chubby had held was stuffed into her. in the trouser pocket.

Such behavior naturally attracted Roland\'s attention, and when all the adults had dispersed, he quickly pulled James into his room, and asked with a snickering smile, "That guy\'s name is Wendy? "

   "So, you like her?"

  (ω)

  Roland really hates this kind of pure and close party, but he doesn\'t hate James, a brat!

   To put it bluntly, if it wasn\'t for knowing that James\' sweetheart likes the movie he acted in, that\'s why the little chubby begged him to throw a party. Roland, this guy, wouldn\'t be too lazy to make such a thing!

For him, it is very meaningful to spend half a day figuring out who the girl James likes. The satisfaction of this kind of self-seeking desire is much more interesting than the flattery at a social party. !

   What\'s more, the guy who broke the casserole last time and wanted to find out what type of girl Roland likes is James, isn\'t he? Now it\'s just an exchange of information, no big deal! —At least Roland thought so.

And after hearing Roland\'s quiet question and the wretched gaze full of smirks, James, who usually likes to compete with Roland, was surprisingly proud this time. He patted his pocket lightly, squinting excitedly. With a ghostly smile, at the same time, he asked in a seductive tone, "Want to see what she wrote to me?"

   "Aren\'t you talking nonsense? Hurry up, take it out!"

  Looking at the bumbling little guy, Roland almost raised his hand to cut him.

   "I promised to hold the party, I paid for it, and I created the opportunity for you. If you don\'t let me know where you have progressed, then don\'t ask me to do things for you in the future!"

  The words of "severe" made James laugh even more.

  He knew that Roland was joking with himself.

   But he is willing to cooperate.

   "Okay... Let me show you..."

   "But let me say it first, if you see something that makes you uncomfortable, don\'t be envious!"

   "Troubleshooting, open it!" Roland frowned suddenly, and he felt that he couldn\'t be envious.

   Isn’t it just a love letter written by children!

  He didn’t know how many letters he had passed on in the classroom in his previous life!

  Although Roland can relive his old dreams by reliving his first life, like writing a penguin story, leaving himself a pile of black history of secondary school, but-this is completely meaningless to him!

  Instead of forcibly regaining the feeling of the past, it is better to write down James\' dark history!

   Now write down the love he received, and recite it verbatim at his wedding more than ten years later. The feeling of reliving the interesting stories of other people\'s second illness is very interesting, okay?

However, when Roland was lying on James\' shoulder, watching with great interest the five carrot-like fingers carefully opening the folded boxy love letter, the clear words that came into view made the two of them stunned for a moment. live.

  James, who was still smiling excitedly, gradually became silent as his eyes scanned. There were many grooves on his flat forehead, and his small blinking eyes were full of confusion about reality.

  Roland, who wanted to record the black history of James, kept squinting his eyes, carefully analyzing the meaning of the sentences on the paper, and at the same time, the corners of his flat mouth were constantly rising...

   About half a minute later, Roland, who had finished reading the whole article, patted the little fat man\'s arm with his hand, and from his throbbing throat, he let out a questioning voice that was almost decayed because of suppressed laughter:

   "Uh...James..."

   "Are you sure Wendy likes you?"

   "Or..."

   "I think...she might have been given to the wrong person?"

The appearance of Roland\'s voice made James, who was already frozen, slowly turn his head, looked at the **** face at close range, and asked in a tone of \'I really want to kill you\': "What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

  As the eyes of the two met and converged, a spontaneous excitement surged into Roland\'s heart instantly. Even though he was holding back his laughter, James could still clearly perceive his trembling body—

  Who made him lie on top of James?

   "Can you stop shaking?"

   "I...I...try to..."

   "Can you calm down?"

   "It\'s not my fault...mainly this letter...it..."

"Can you say that again?"

   "Hey hey hey... I won\'t say it, I won\'t say it... Hahahaha... This Wendy really dares to say anything!"

  When Roland leaned back, curled up into a ball, and looked at James with that crazy smile, the little chubby man who was panting heavily had already squeezed the \'love letter\' in his hand!

  At this moment, he just wanted to take out a knife and stab Roland, who was covering his mouth and trembling, to death!

  What love letter?

  What not to envy?

   All special codes are bullshit!

  If he could choose again, James would never open this letter in front of Roland!

   Ah no!

   He won\'t even let Roland hold a party!

   It\'s really hurtful!

  It\'s true that he likes Wendy, and this party was also because Wendy told him that he was a fan of Roland\'s movie, so he came back to let Roland watch it! But—after meeting Roland after the party, this little girl actually told him bluntly that she likes thin people like Roland, and doesn\'t like honest people like him?

  What is the difference between what you said and an employee who was fired because his left foot entered the door when he went to work?

   There is no reason!

   If you don\'t like me, why not date me before!

  If you don\'t like me, you still accept the invitation of a fart to join a fart party!

   Isn\'t everything for meeting Roland?

   And this—isn\'t it messing with him?

   "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

   After crumpling the letter into a ball, James flew up, kicked on the sofa beside him, and cursed.

  As for why not kick the coffee table?

   Simple!

  Because kicking the coffee table hurts!

  Looking at James, who was embracing his hands, panting heavily, and looked like a Cos Bull Demon King, Roland, who was leaning on the side, waved his hands first and said, "It\'s okay, it\'s okay, don\'t they just think you are fat?"

   "Can\'t you just lose weight?"

  Already realized that James, who had been fooled by others, instantly took over the high IQ again, "Losing weight?"

   "You think I\'m an idiot?"

   "Didn\'t someone tell me that she likes you?"

   "\'I like guys with Roland\'s size, not athletic athletes\'."

   "In the whole content, besides me, there is only your name, okay?"

   Okay—

  Roland, who had already read the entire article, naturally wouldn\'t think that James was making malicious brain supplements to extend the topic.

  In fact, when Roland saw the first sorry at the beginning of the chapter, he knew that something was wrong.

  Because the whole letter is actually described around \'you are a good person\'.

  Every word in the letter can reflect Wendy\'s rejection of James.

  Not only that, but Roland could also tell that this guy was actually after him.

This is not because Roland took the initiative to put gold on his face, but in the whole letter, the frequency of \'Roland\' appearing is even higher than that of \'James\'. He is mentioned in almost every line, and James...in every paragraph It would be nice to have one...

   "Okay, okay, okay, doesn\'t it mean that people don\'t like you?"

   "Can\'t you be like me and ignore these things?"

   "What is there to talk about in love?"

   "Study hard is the real thing!"

  Roland got a bargain and acted like a good boy.

   On the surface, it seemed that he was persuading James, but with his stinky fart, James wanted to hit someone!

  Although Roland will not fall in love with fans, it does not mean that he hates fans who like his behavior!

   Not only that, he also hopes that the more guys who like him, the better...

   "Okay, okay, okay, study, study, study, how did you become like my dad?"

  Although James wanted to punch Roland\'s embarrassing face flat, but after thinking that he might need Roland to help him buy comic books in the future, he felt that he could let him go.

Of course, letting Roland go doesn\'t mean that he will get entangled with Roland in his studies. He doesn\'t like to compare studies with Roland the most, so he changed the subject directly, "By the way, I mean it, I really mean it." I feel like you are like my dad."

   "Of course, I\'m not saying that you are my dad, but the way you make me feel is very strange, you know?"

   "Others will be very excited after they become famous, shopping everywhere, spending money everywhere, but what about you? You are as stingy as my dad, and you don\'t seem to have spent much money except for buying things for us."

   "Do you know, when my sister first became famous, my mother often told me that when she took my sister to film in the studio, she often heard what other people bought luxury goods, fashion, cars, yachts and so on..."

   "Besides, she also told my dad that when my younger sisters grow up, they must be guided and not let them get into bad habits."

"And when you became famous, last Christmas, when my dad congratulated you on becoming a millionaire, I was actually thinking at that time, how would you spend the money, but I didn\'t find out until this year that you bought stocks, copyright, and…”

   "Is it gone?"

"You know, when I went to help you deal with those old classmates just now, they actually asked me, would a star be as simple as you? Except for a T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of sneakers, you have everything on your body. Gone…"

   "Don\'t blame me if I\'m telling the truth."

   "When your uncle and aunt were around, you spent more than you do now."

   "At least, it\'s like this in daily necessities."

   "And now?"

"The comics you bought for me, the gifts you bought for Ashley and Mary, every time you went out with Elizabeth, the money you spent on her was dozens of times the money you spent yourself? Or hundreds of times ?”

"do you know?"

   "I always thought that only a guy like my dad would spend all his money on us."

Although James meant to change the subject at the beginning, he didn\'t want to discuss learning with a guy like Roland who said "I love learning" every day, but when he talked about it, how did Roland talk to his father? After the resemblance, those words were like a flood that burst its embankment, and could never stop.

   After hearing his words, Roland lowered his head and glanced at himself.

  Black T-shirt, blue jeans, shoes from the home of the director who will shoot "Bumblebee" in the future...

  The whole body is added up, it seems that there is not five hundred yuan?

That\'s right, although his outfit is ordinary, he bought it when he went to a specialty store with David last time. Although the matching is simple, the price is actually not cheap. Compared with men\'s clothes, his outfit can be regarded as a beggar\'s clothes. Even a guy like James who has no source of income, or in other words, like those male students in the original class, will not be like Roland. wear…

  However, Roland felt that there was no problem.

  Clothes, pants and shoes, shouldn’t you be able to wear whatever you want?

  Especially when he is still growing his body, buy a bunch of big brands, wear them for a year and throw them away?

   Isn\'t that a waste?

  Why does everyone have to dress like Angela?

Although the clothes of Jobs and Zuckerberg are actually big brands, there is still a certain gap compared with the real luxury fashion. They don’t show off their wealth all over the world. ah?

  It is true that people rely on clothes, many business guys need these things to show their appearance, and the same goes for celebrities, but he—

   No need for these things!

  Is the quality of the clothes related to the actors and directors themselves?

No.

  In this case, is there a difference between expensive and cheap clothes?

  Will people look down on him because of the cheap clothes?

Won\'t…

  As for luxury cars and yachts, it’s even more ridiculous.

  Roland\'s travel needs can be met with David\'s inventory alone. If that\'s the case, why should I spend so much money?

   It doesn\'t make sense!

   "But don\'t you think..."

   "If you dress well, your identity will be different?"

   James\' words made Roland shake his head like a rattle.

   "James, let me tell you, things like identity, or things like social status, don\'t come out of clothing."

   "When your popularity reaches a certain level, what you wear is actually the same."

  “If you dress well, the media will comment and say you are fashionable.”

   "If you wear ordinary clothes, the media will comment and say you are low-key."

  "You don\'t need to care about what other people say, because your mouth grows on them, and you can\'t control it."

"What about investment?" James could understand Roland\'s casual thoughts on clothing consumption, but he couldn\'t understand investing in this thing, "I\'m serious, you actually broke my illusion about those stars. "

   "My sister is young and doesn\'t understand. They can\'t spend money. I can understand that."

   "And you, use all the money you earn to invest... This is simply..."

   "Not consistent with reports..."

   James said so, Roland understood.

  In his eyes, the guys in Hollywood live a life of luxury.

  Drunk life, dreams and death, lingering in smoke.

   If you have money and don’t indulge, isn’t that living in vain?

Can…

   Does it make sense?

  There are many ways to relax, why do you have to hurt your body while burning money?

  After becoming famous, do you have to spend money like paper?

  This kind of thinking is actually very strange!

   "James, actually I can\'t understand your thoughts..."

   "Why do you have to buy a house, a car, a watch and play with women after you become famous?"

  “For me, what I need in life is enough.”

   "Of course, I will buy what you like."

   "Happiness is actually contagious, did you know that?"

   "It doesn\'t mean that if I turn money into a luxury, I will be happy..."

   "It\'s that I have fulfilled your request. If you are happy, I can be happy too."

   "It\'s like that Elizabeth guy, I buy her a lollipop and she can laugh for a long time."

   "And I can laugh for a long time when I look at her..."

have to…

   James felt that he was going to lose to Roland.

  Celebrities, rich people, where have all the labels on your body gone?

  Why do those things that top figures would pursue, in Roland\'s eyes, not be exciting?

   Besides, every time you give an example, what does it mean to mention my sister?

   Grass hold...

   Could it be that you are a loli fan?

   No! Do you really like my sister?

  Roland naturally kept James\' thoughts in the dark.

  But his inquiry made Roland discover his abnormality.

  When he first came here last year, his first goal was to make money.

   And now...

   Really waited for him to earn money, but he didn\'t think about spending it.

  Does he like the process of wealth accumulation?

   Still like the refreshment after the wealth jump?

   Probably neither—

  Because apart from not wanting to pay taxes on the remuneration, he didn\'t think much about other aspects of consumption.

  When James wanted something, he would buy it, at most he would delay for a few sentences, seeing the other party\'s pretended begging.

  Ashley and Mary wanted something, and he bought it too. The two little lolis would smile sweetly and say thank you every time.

   As for Elizabeth?

   This guy is even easier to handle, he likes and wants everything, and every time he teases her, he will giggle.

   Does Roland look like he likes money?

  Maybe...

  But he understands better that what he likes is this place and this group of people.

   It\'s no big deal to spend money on your own.

   And in the process, when these little guys are happy, he is also happy...

  So, the accumulation of wealth by the traversers to climb upwards, these are all false, okay?

  He has never understood why the traverser should focus on upgrading, and while upgrading, he is picking up girls.

   Wouldn’t it be nice to stop and play with the guys next to you when you’re free?

   Throwing a party, watching James get rejected, pushing Elizabeth\'s stroller, and taking her out for a walk.

  Is this kind of life bad?

  What, is this like the life of veteran cadres after retirement?

   Come on, if you relax in a gentle way, you are considered retired?

   Is it possible that only when accompanied by luxury cars and beauties is it considered a holiday?

   Money is something that can never be earned, so what\'s the point of rolling around with that lifeless thing?

   Earn a lot of money and have no one you like, so it’s useless!
