"I really won't wait!"

At half past eight, Roger slapped the table. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he turned red and his neck thick, and directly stopped the iron head who wanted to open his mouth to speak. He spoke very quickly, with raging anger: "I know what you want to say. The distance is not an excuse. You guys are farther away than them!"

After saying that, Roger began to take off his clothes, revealing his bandaged upper body.

We were moved by it and could not tell whether he had been injured or was stabbed several times.

"Who did it?"

Da Ben stood up, which was in line with his usual style. When he was in a group fight, he was always in front of him.

"Sit down." Roger, who was shirtless and cold wind, was much calmer than before taking off his clothes. His speech speed returned to normal frequency, and his tone became much calmer: "This morning I sent Duoduo to study and hit a van head-on. Don't be nervous, Duoduo is fine, I was a little injured."

The more he told us not to be nervous, the more we became even more nervous.

Roger caught the first bus in the 1980s. He was born on January 1, 1980s and is the oldest post-80s. He stayed in grades in elementary school, stayed in grades in junior high school, and stayed in grades in high school, and became our classmates after several twists and turns.

He is the first of us to marry and the first of us to divorce.

Of course, he is also the first of us to have children.

Duoduo is seven years old this year and is Roger's son and his lifeblood.

"I didn't feel afraid when the car crashed, nor when I went to the hospital. When the doctor took Duoduo to check, I was really scared. I didn't want to do this kind of thing, but the more I thought about it, the more I became afraid." Roger told his fear, and suddenly changed the subject: "I called Fire the first time. He didn't believe it at all, so he told me not to joke like this early in the morning."

This made us silent more deeply. I put myself in my shoes. If Roger called me and said that he had failed, my first reaction might be "true or fake", rather than considering his injuries.

"When we were in school, we heard that it was rain. In the second year of high school, someone said that Tietou was beaten in the gymnasium. Twelve of us rushed to the gymnasium with steel pipes. One of the shoes of Da Benz ran away. When we got there, we found that it was someone else's rumors, Tietou was fine at all. Now we can never do such a thing again, and this is the price of growing up. I don't blame Fire. From another perspective, I heard about this kind of thing, and the reaction was similar to his."

Roger poured himself into his own drink and said to himself: "I was lying in the hospital in the morning and thought that if I was hit and killed, there were some things you would never know in your life. I have been holding on to these things for five years and have been trying to tell you, but I don't know what to say. Today I finally have the courage, so I called you out. I'm afraid that I won't tell you again after today."

At this moment, we can all feel Roger's pain.

It sounds quite fucking. We flew over from afar just to hear Roger say a few words. Now seeing Roger looks, I understand that he may have never been as serious as he is today in his life.

"I got so angry when I fought with Lao Niu that year. It wasn't that he said it wrong. He said it was too right. I have been redeeming all my life. This hurts me the most. I was ignorant when I was young, which made my parents worry. Later, I wanted to save it. I listened to my mother's words and went on a blind date. I got married at the age of 24. I divorced after more than a year of marriage. I still wanted to save it. I worked hard to make my children live a better life." Speaking of this, Roger's voice was filled with a strong crying voice: "Later something happened. I don't know how to redeem it... Duoduo is two years old, and I realized that I like men!"

The six of us were stunned on the spot and didn't even dare to show off.

"I have talked about several 'friends' behind my back in the past few years and met a suitable one. I have been dating him for three years." Roger's voice was completely choked. He held his head and pinched his temples with his thumb, and then said: "I dare not tell my parents. I don't know what Duoduo will think of me when he grows up, and I don't know how you know the truth to me."

No one answered, and no one knew how to answer Roger's words.

Roger put his hand down from his head, he looked at each of us one by one, and said, "The last time we came here was National Day in 2002. That day was Niu Shuang's 20th birthday. I remember that several people came from other places that day. Abin specially flew back from Shanghai. That was his first time flying. That day, Lao Niu said that he would not study anymore and wanted to go out alone to break out, so we sent him here..."

I was quite calm tonight, but after hearing this, I could no longer be calm.

I feel that I want to cry very much, but I can’t cry no matter how I think about it. This situation is very uncomfortable. Over the years, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to close the door and cry alone. According to past experience, the pressure of crying after a lot of tears will be much less. It’s a pity that I didn’t cry every time.

Roger was still saying: "That night we agreed to meet here in ten years and see who will do better. But each of us forgot about this matter. Last year, National Day was exactly ten years, and no one mentioned it. Today I came forward to mention it. Ten and a half years are considered ten years, and it is not far from that."

"I still remember that day Yuanyuan said that I hope that when we met again ten years later, everyone was a big shot with Xiaomi. Yuanyuan was really an inspirational brother. He could say that, he could do it. Among us, he was the only one who had Xiaomi. Lao Niu was also an inspirational brother. He said he must travel half of China. We didn't expect that he had been through for so many years. A platform ticket could be used from Hunan to Henan. The two of them made me believe that as long as a person insisted on his belief, he could do what he thought."

"I don't know if it will be too late to come back to mention your dreams when I was 33 years old. If I don't mention it, I will never have a chance again. Since last year, I have a ten-year plan with my man. I hope to go abroad in ten years and go to a place that can accept same-sex marriage. I want to marry him. You know how bad my English is. I didn't learn a foreign language again in my thirties, but I don't want to give up. I'm afraid that Duoduo will be ashamed of me when he grows up, and I'm afraid that because of my sexual orientation, he will not be able to raise his head and be a human being. I want to go to an open-minded place. I hope Duoduo will think I am a normal person when he grows up."

"This is why I asked you to come today. What I want to say is over." Speaking of this, Roger picked up the wine glass and said in a heavy tone: "Everyone even treats me as a friend, so he picked up the glass and clinked it with me. If you don't want to, you can leave immediately. I don't blame you."

No one talks, no one raises his glass.

Roger was the only one who sang a solo show, and his hands holding the cup were shaking.

After a while, Lei Zi, who had always been active, finally couldn't stand the loneliness. He said, "Brother Jie, you are so unconvincing. When will you bring your 'sister-in-law' out to meet us?"

Da Ben walked over and patted Roger on the shoulder and said, "Guawazi, you underestimate me too much. Do you think I have never heard of a good friend walking together?"

Tietou cursed: "Damn it, I've long discovered that your baby is wrong."

Yuanyuan was very heartless: "Brother Jie, discuss something with you. I know a few girls. They really want to find a good friend to be their best friend. Why don't I introduce you to them? You can go to the hot springs to do beauty and other things, and help me take a few photos at the same time, do you want to take a few photos?"

I didn't say anything, walked past Roger on the shoulder, Roger put down his cup and started crying loudly, accompanied by a rich body language like a child. It's hard to imagine a man in his thirties could cry so earth-shaking.

At this moment, the ruthless killing knife of time passed by us.
