Eighty-two, I am a realist (2)

  "Maybe because I haven't experienced many things yet and am still psychologically immature, my outlook on life and values have been wavering back and forth."

  "What you call confusion is because of the conflict and gap between ideals and reality, so it feels unstable."

  "Yes, in the past when I was in university and working, I always thought I was very clear-headed, my goals and ideals were all very clear, but now they're all a bit fuzzy."

  "What do you think your ideal is now?"

  "Write a screenplay that will make the audience applaud after it's shot."

  "High box office or high word of mouth? If you can only choose one, what would you choose?"

  "Word of mouth, compared to commercial films, I personally prefer art-house films."

  "If I were in his shoes, I would pursue box office first and reputation second."

  "Why?"

  "Because I have to survive, I am a realist."

  I burst out laughing and looked at Ouyang Xiao Xiao in front of me, "The more I look at you, the more I think you're like an idealist."

  "How do you say this?"

  "What I understand about realists is that they only act when there's something to gain, so why would you help me pay the rent? What's in it for you?"

  "Because I consider you a very good friend, and I don't want you to be unable to pay the rent and get kicked out by the landlord."

  "If you have ten or eight friends like me, won't you be dragged down to the point where you can't even eat?"

  "I don't have many friends, there's only you."

  "Am I the only one?" I burst out laughing, "It seems that I'm quite important in your heart then."

  Ouyang Xiao seemed a bit embarrassed, after waiting for three or four seconds, she said, "Su Mu Xian, you are really despicable."

  I coaxed him into laughing again.

  "Okay, okay, I'm not kidding around anymore, I'm going back. You have something to attend to, hurry up and go."

  "No way, you just made me angry, you have to apologize to me." Ouyang Xiaoxiao muttered.

  "Why should I apologize to you? I didn't offend you."

  "What you just said made me feel embarrassed."

  "Are you referring to how your face turned red just now? It's okay, no one saw it anyway. Hmm, rest assured, I know I'm important in your heart, and I won't casually tell others about this matter."

  "Su Mu Xian!" Ou Yang Xiao Xiao shouted loudly.

  "Alright, alright, I'm going home now, the sandbag is still waiting for me to go and fight with him."

  "Who is Sack?"

  "A friend I met in the game."

  "Oh, is it you who's playing that private server of Legend in the internet cafe?"

  I was stunned.

  "You know this too?"

  "Of course, I used to play for a period of time. I even established several guilds, all of which were the strongest guilds in our server."

  "We're now playing this server is a sack-built guild."

  "How's your PK level?"

  "Generally speaking, I usually practice Taoist martial arts and don't fight much."

  "I don't like practicing Taoist priests, I really enjoy fighting, so I practice warriors. I don't use cheats and can still beat those who use cheats."

  "Really?"

  "Don't believe me? Fine, I'll go to your house now and show you in person. You'll see."
