One Piece's Gluttony
Have you ever lived for yourself?
At night, everything is silent. Only the faint light of the street lamp remains on the street.
Chen Mo was sitting alone on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking up at the dark sky. His right hand reached for the place where an unknown number of empty bottles had been stacked, picked up a bottle of beer, and drank it down.
He recalled his miserable life. Just today, his company went bankrupt. His best brother took away the entire company's money and ran away, resulting in insufficient funds for the project and declaring bankruptcy.
Chen Mo couldn't understand why? Why would his brother, whom he grew up playing with, betray him? He obviously treated him like a family member. He looked up to the sky and roared, "Why?"
Chen Mo has been the pride of his family since he was a child. No matter in any aspect, his parents and family ask him to do his best. Most people may think this is a kind of pressure, but he doesn't think so. He likes that feeling.
The feeling of always being praised by others, the feeling of being envied by others, and the feeling of being regarded as proud by others.
Until the year when he was 18 years old, Chen Mo met a girl. The first time he saw the girl, he knew that he fell in love with her.
Chen Mo continued to pursue this girl. As time went by, the two gradually became good friends who talked about everything. One night, under the encouragement of people around him, Chen Mo mustered up the courage to confess to her. Then
One night, the starry sky was extraordinarily bright. The two of them stood on the playground, surrounded by 999 candles arranged in a heart shape.
The dim nightlight shone on the girl's face, what a pure and lovely cheek it was. Chen Mo couldn't bear it anymore. He held 99 flowers, knelt down on one knee, looked at the girl in front of him affectionately and said:
"Yu Juan, I love you, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Promise him, promise him," the people behind him said in cheers.
Yu Juan lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I can't promise you. Chen Mo, we have known each other for almost a year, and we understand each other well. You are indeed very good, no matter what.
Very good, but have you ever lived for yourself in this life?"
After saying that, Yu Juan turned and left. Chen Mo stood there blankly, and the flowers he held fell to the ground. Looking at the girl's back, he did not expect that he would fail to express his love. Yu Juan's words
, have you ever lived for yourself in this life? It was like a thorn piercing his heart.
It was also because of this sentence that changed his life. For the first time, he disobeyed his parents and gave up the opportunity to enter a prestigious university just to chase his dream.
Chen Mo said to his family: "He wants to live for himself." No one in the family understood him. His parents, grandparents, and uncles were all trying to persuade him.
"Son, you have studied hard for more than ten years for the college entrance examination. I understand that you want to start a business, but you can also start a business after college!" His father looked at Chen Mo with a weathered face and said.
Normally like this, Chen Mo would have given up long ago and listened to their words, but he didn't know where he got the courage today. Have you ever lived for yourself in this life? Yu Juan's words have been lingering in his ears.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I want to live for myself once." After saying that, Chen Mo walked straight out of the door. When his mother saw this scene, she fainted. Chen Mo turned around and took a look.
"If you dare to step out of this door, I won't have a son like you." The father shouted to Chen Mo. He stood there hesitantly, and then walked out the door with weak and firm steps.
Chen Mo gave up everything, gave up more than ten years of hard study, and gave up the hopes of his family, just to realize his dream. But now, he failed. When the company was about to go public, he was betrayed by his brother. He has already
He hasn't been home for five years. He doesn't dare to go back or face his parents. He has failed his family's hopes for him.
Chen Mo slowly picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number that he had never dared to call. The phone rang, Dad, Mom, I love you. After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Who called?" His father looked at his mother and asked. "It was Xiao Mo who called." After saying that, my mother started crying, and my father also sat on the chair and remained silent.
Chen Mo's face was full of tears. He stood on the railing, raised his head and shouted: "Oh God! If you give me another chance to come back, I will definitely reach the top, no matter how many thorns lie ahead."
?So what if the road ahead is full of ups and downs? No one can stop my steps anymore. After saying that, Chen Mo closed his eyes, took a step forward, and fell heavily from the tall building.
His body quickly fell from the 33-story building, leaving less than ten meters away from the ground. At this moment, a black hole of more than ten meters appeared on the previously empty cement road. In an instant,
, swallowing Chen Mo who fell from the sky.
