[The King's Avatar] That Summer

[Major rewrite]

Jingxiu Street, Chengxiang District, K City, Yunnan Province.

The man raised his head to get a good look at the sign over the shop: Yunqi Internet Cafe. Then he pushed open the door and went in.

It was a sweltering summer. The heat and his fury scorched his chest and face at the same time. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, which had the greasy sheen of middle age.

A twig as thick as a little finger lay curled in his palm, while its leafy branches rested beside his feet. The leaves rustled against the floor. The young man at the front desk suddenly perked up, sat straight, put away the phone he'd been watching videos on, and cautiously sized up the unfortunate man.

Qiu Sheng met a kind older brother.

But before long, a stranger grabbed his kind older brother by the ear.

His kind older brother cried out in pain and cursed furiously, "Look carefully! Who the fuck are you calling your son?"

The internet cafe was filled with especially miserable screams that day.

Qiu Sheng remembered that the third shop around the corner was an ordinary internet cafe. Year after year, spring came and summer went, the plane trees along the street shed wave after wave of leaves, customers replaced their old clothes with new ones, and old faces gave way to new.

In their fifth year of knowing each other, the internet cafe owner rented the space upstairs and the shop next door. While he was at it, he also got a shiny new storefront and sign.

Chu Yunxiu said, "A good woman suffers many trials, and Heaven sends her scumbags."

Huang Shaotian said, "You don't understand fashion."

Sun Zheping said, "Don't copy me."

Zhang Jiale said, "Do you even know what love is?"

Wang Jiexi said, "I can keep going."

Yu Wenzhou said, "Are you still a child?"

This is a story about ordinary people. Thank you for crossing paths with me.
