The Path of Evolution

"Is this your wish? Sister, can your wish be bigger?"

Facing Zhao Dada's questioning, Shen Jia felt a little embarrassed.

She thought about it seriously and said in a tone that sounded like a lion's mouth: "How about you treat me to some popcorn or a Coke while watching the game?"

Zhao Hao's heart suddenly trembled.

Staring into the other person's shy yet clear eyes, Zhao Ritian, who has extraordinary sensitivity, can be sure that the other person is not pretending and has no indescribable shameful thoughts towards him. This girl's biggest wish is just to watch a game with him and eat some popcorn.

For a moment, Zhao Hao thought of himself many years ago.

When he was obsessed with basketball, he liked and even admired several NBA stars. At that time, he didn't expect to have any stories with his idols. His biggest wish was to get signed basketballs and jerseys from those stars, that's all. .

Xiao Zhao's mind suddenly became pure, and he had a vague understanding.

Many complex problems that had troubled him suddenly became much simpler.

In fact, this world is very simple, but people are the most complicated.

After calming down, Zhao Hao smiled and said, "No problem, where do you plan to go?"

"Keep it secret!" Shen Jia said: "We will set off at nine o'clock tomorrow. The place is in Zhonghai, not very far."

"OK."

Zhao Hao had an inexplicable little expectation, and he seemed to practice much faster for most of the day after that.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhao Hao went to the entrance of the nursing home as scheduled.

Shen Jia was responsible for driving and took him to an unknown place.

Zhao Ritian didn't even wear a mask this time. He lost the burden of being an idol and felt that there was nothing he couldn't face.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at an inconspicuous coffee shop in Zhonghai East District called Soul of Basketball. The store doesn’t just offer McCafé, but also has milk tea, beer, and more. Since NBA games are usually held from morning to noon Chinese time, there are not many people drinking during this time. People in the store can watch the game for half a day just by ordering a cup of coffee. The greatest pleasure is chatting with like-minded fans.

When he entered, there were already about ten people sitting inside. Zhao Hao was mentally prepared. Maybe these people would despise him like the women in the nursing home.

Unexpectedly, I received a warm welcome after entering.

The middle-aged fat boss even burst into tears and was so excited that he couldn't hold the cup steady.

After a period of communication, Zhao Hao learned that the boss here was a die-hard basketball fan and had been a die-hard Yao Mi back then. Since Dayao retired, the fat boss has always dreamed of someone taking over. Later, he was particularly optimistic about Xiao Zhao. When Zhao Hao first emerged as a freshman, he organized a group of people to cheer for him. And this coffee shop can be regarded as Zhao Hao’s earliest fan gathering place.

It was during that period that Shen Jia joined the organization while passing by to buy coffee.

Later, Zhao Ritian started to cross over from the basketball world into the evolutionary world, and the people in the store still supported him.

Real people are not omnipotent and omniscient.

For example, Zhao Hao is from Zhonghai, but he doesn't know that there is such a place in Zhonghai.

Zhao Hao felt a lot while chatting with the shopkeeper and guests.

The distorted Internet environment has affected many young people, including Zhao Hao, who has also been affected and even misled. Everything on the Internet is labeled. Even if a person does 100 things right, as long as he does one thing, he will be labeled, indicating that this person is a scumbag, and then this person will face overwhelming of cyber violence.

But real life is not like this. People who live in reality will tolerate the mistakes of their loved ones and encourage their failed friends to stand up again. In this store, Zhao Hao experienced a kind of enthusiasm between family affection and friendship. Everyone sent care and encouragement. Some even said that if Xiao Zhao lost his job, they could help him find a job.

When the game ended, everyone in the store was happy.

Because the Warriors, who were like Thanos, actually lost.

Shen Jia said that Zhao Hao had a hidden koi attribute and secretly protected the Thunder. The Warriors got off to a bad start in this game, with the Splash Brothers trying to make a difference. On the contrary, the Thunder, which had a poor record, ushered in a big explosion. Westbrook scored a triple-double like a cheat, leading the team to a 120:115 victory at home. The score was victorious.

At noon, Zhao Hao took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal, completing his first gathering with fans in his life.

After the meal, Zhao Hao felt that his life was becoming more complete, as if he had found a missing piece of the puzzle.

Shen Jia was very happy on this day, laughing non-stop throughout the whole process. She, who was usually very reserved, seemed to have spent all her smiles in a year on this day.

Until Zhao Hao invited her to have afternoon tea, the two said goodbye reluctantly.

Zhao Hao returned home alone and conducted some self-examination.

He suddenly understood why he always wanted to return to Earth. In addition to his parents and friends who couldn't let go, it was also because of some promises.

If you never do what you promised others, even if you get past it, you will still have regrets in your heart.

On this day, Zhao Hao decided to make up for all his regrets.

He logged into QQ, found a bearded hunk among his friends, and sent a message: "Brother, I haven't seen you in so many years, how are you?"

That bearded man, nicknamed [Thunder Heart], was the group leader of his fans QQ group back then. Zhao Hao is still deeply impressed by this man.

"Ah?" The other party responded quickly and made a bulging eyeball emoticon, deeply expressing his inner shock: "Master Zhao, you haven't deleted me as a friend yet?"

These words made Zhao Ritian feel ashamed. He had not contacted his QQ friends since he went to the evolutionary world.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Dazhao coaxed: "How can we do that? We agreed back then that if I get the MVP, I will ask you to go for a big health care! This matter cannot be delayed, or we will go today Let’s get this done.”

Thunder Heart made a cold sweat expression: "Dad, if you didn't mention this matter, I would have forgotten it myself. Big Health Care, is... is this really good?"

Zhao Hao realized a very practical problem: "Do you have a girlfriend, or are you married and have children? Then let's change the project and treat you to dinner."

"No, I'm still a single dog." Thunder Heart made a sad and tearful expression, and the next lines showed a kind of vulgarity that Zhao Hao was familiar with: "My dear, let's continue discussing the topic of the big sword. I I’ve never been there, could it be that your old driver wants to take me flying?”

"Actually, I haven't been there either, but it doesn't matter. I know professionals in this field." Zhao Da said arrogantly: "By the way, you are still in Zhonghai, can we meet tonight?"

"No problem, I have a rest today and can come out at any time!" Thunder Heart was already on fire.

"Okay, let's meet at six o'clock, and I'll share the location with you later."

Zhao Hao also became angry and decisively contacted Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng happened to have returned to China from Netherworld Ancient City in the past few days. He directly acted as a driver and drove Xiao Zhao to a very high-end club.

Zhao Hao stood at the door of the club and waited for a few minutes, then suddenly turned away with his face covered.

Because there happened to be a girl passing by in front of me.

That girl happened to be Shen Jia, who she had a good chat with during the day.

How embarrassing is it to be spotted by a loyal female fan standing at the door of a certain club?
