But my friend's Internet cafe is far from that university, so few college students come to surf the Internet.
In the summer vacation of June that year, a college student came to the Internet cafe with a bunch of daily necessities. As soon as I came in, I asked how much it was a day. I said 28, and he asked about a month. I was shocked. Never heard of monthly subscription. He said, well, I'll give you 600, and I'll pay it back monthly. I called my friend and his friend said to give him the bag.
I accepted him that day, 600 yuan. That month, he was here every day. When he was hungry, he ate instant noodles. Sometimes it was my treat. He drinks boiled water when he is thirsty. He has a cup and only drinks boiled water. When you are tired, use two chairs to sleep for a while and continue after sleep. He sailed about a dozen fantasy westward journeys alone, and several windows kept switching. I don't know what he is playing, but I only know that he is very skilled. He doesn't smoke, he doesn't leave the Internet cafe, and he hardly leaves his seat except to go to the toilet.
After more than half a month, no one wants to play with the machine next to it. Even if it is full, no one plays, and customers would rather wait. I'm a little surprised. I walked over and found that it smelled bad.
That college student has been stinking for half a month, a young man who washes his face every day without taking a shower, washing his hair and shaving. This summer, although the air conditioner is on for 24 hours, he can't stand it.
I remember my friend gave him shampoo and soap with tickets to the leisure center opposite the Internet cafe. He looked at my friend and waited for a while, then took it and thanked him.
Since then, my friend will bring him a ticket every week, and he will also pack it in my friend's internet cafe for a month until school starts.
I stopped him and gave him a cigarette when he left the computer room with something dusty. He lit it skillfully and took a sip. I said, do you smoke? Why haven't I seen you smoking?
Too poor to smoke.
No money to give you a monthly subscription in the Internet cafe?
Our family is poor. I borrowed money to go to college. This year's tuition and living expenses have not been settled at all. I can't borrow any more money from my parents. We are also relatively backward there, and we can't find any job that can earn thousands of dollars in a few months, so I can't get a scholarship for general study. In the past three months, I have earned more than 20,000 yuan on the Dream Journey to the West, which is enough for tuition and living expenses. There is no other way to make so much money except robbery. I'll send some home, and the rest will last me a year.
When he left the Internet cafe that day, he looked like a winner. I also left my friend's Internet cafe at the end of September and started my normal work. I don't know whether he still earns tuition and living expenses by traveling to the west in his dream. Well, he is in his thirties, so there should be no problem.
