Chapter 848: Realism, Ruthless Change
Tony didn't make too many requests. But even so, Zhou Yi's face was a little stiff.
"You mean I need to play this kind of clown-like role."
"Come on, man. How can this be a role like a clown? This is a very formal and sacred job. You are going to be my best man, and there is nothing better than this."
Tony emphasized that the expression on his face was extremely sincere.
"You also let Qin be your bridesmaid, and let our children be your companions."
"It's a beautiful blessing. Man, you know whoever does this kind of thing can get some pretty good luck."
Tony was still defending, and tried to make his expression more sincere. It's just that Zhou Yi didn't buy it, he just continued to complain.
"You also asked me for more than a hundred angels to be some ridiculous choir."
"Come on, man. I didn't make them show their wings. I just let them show their cute faces and smile for the camera a little bit and give us a wish. It's not that hard. Right, right!"
Being repeatedly mentioned by Zhou Yi, even with Tony's thick skin, he couldn't help it. He hastened to emphasize it. And he directly used words to block the possibility of Zhou Yi's continued entanglement on this issue. Hearing what he said, Zhou Yi could only shrug his shoulders and shook his head.
"You've said that, what else can I say. But, I can't guarantee that Qin will be willing to be this bridesmaid. You should know that I won't force them to do anything."
"That's not a problem." Waving his hand, Tony immediately said to Zhou Yi. "I know how many girlfriends you have now. Jean, Ada, Susan, Lilith, Serana. And the mother of that child, a lady named Jill. I believe there will always be someone who is willing to accept this job Yes. Even if they are unwilling, I think Miss Serena must be very happy to undertake this task."
"what do you mean?"
Hearing this sentence, Zhou Yi, who was touched in his heart, couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Seeing his expression, Tony immediately showed a tacit expression that any man could understand.
"It's just a literal meaning." As he said so, he threw a cigarette to Zhou Yi. At the same time, he said to him meaningfully. "You know? I actually admire you sometimes. I mean women. I'm a jerk,
I won't deny it myself. But I know very well that my shoulders can only bear the weight of a woman at most. But you are different. Let me count, this is the number one. Sixth or seventh? Or is there something else that I don't know about? "
"Hey man. Can I take that as finding fault?"
Breathing out smoke rings, Zhou Yi couldn't help raising his volume, and began to express his dissatisfaction on this issue. And that immediately made Tony shake his head and laugh at him.
"Sorry, I don't mean anything else. I just envy you, you can get so much, and you can handle them so well. It's not easy to make women happy, you need to protect them, like It's like holding a pool of clear spring water, you must close your fingers tightly without leaving any gaps, so that they will not be harmed. You have done a good job on this. Much better than me!"
Speaking of this, his eyes drifted away, looking at the smoke from the cigarette in his hand. The tightly furrowed eyebrows showed that he was not in a simple mood now, and there was a hint of obvious mockery on the corners of his twitching mouth. This is his mockery of himself.
"I can't even protect a woman. You know? When she told me what happened to her today, I really wanted to kill all those bastards. But I can't. Sitting in my position, I have to Thinking about more things. And this kind of thinking made me hurt her one step before anyone else. Although she didn't say anything. But I can feel that I let her down. This is not my intention , but I have no other choice."
In this case, Tony is talking to one of the few friends like Zhou Yi. Faced with such a confession, Zhou Yi took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and then said to him with a sigh.
"Think about it, Tony. It's your choice to sit in this position. I can only tell you this, since you have chosen this way. Then you can only stick to this road .And, didn't Miss Deborah clearly support you? She's already done that. What else do you want?"
"I don't know!" After snuffing out the cigarette in his hand, Tony lowered his head deeply. "It's because I don't know how I can make it up to her. That's why I feel guilty. It makes me feel like a failure, a failure. You know, I'm not supposed to be like this."
"Have you been under a lot of pressure lately?"
Tony Stark would have such a reaction, which was really strange or even unbelievable in Zhou Yi's eyes. You know, in Zhouyi's memory, Tony will always be a confident, even arrogant guy. He never had the concept of failure, let alone the idea that he would fail. It is precisely because of this that his current behavior is particularly strange. It also made Zhou Yi couldn't help but start worrying about him.
"Or is there something that happened recently that I don't know about?"
"Aren't you a god? The gods are high above, shouldn't they be omniscient and omnipotent?"
Grinning, Tony suddenly asked Zhou Yi such a question. Before Zhou Yi could answer, he immediately questioned him like this.
"Obviously you are already a god, why don't you know that Captain America Steve Rogers is actually a hydra. It's ridiculous and incompetent for you to be a god. Incompetent to all of us Everyone was played by that bastard and applauded. There were even a group of fools who almost lost their lives because of him. If all this could be predicted, then maybe such a thing would never have happened.”
It can be seen that Tony is venting, venting like making trouble for no reason. And the fact that he can do this in front of his own face undoubtedly shows how much psychological burden he has now.
If it was normal, Zhou Yi would say a few words ironically. If he wants to keep pestering her, then it is inevitable to teach him a lesson. But now, seeing that he was about to get married, Zhou Yi just tapped his fingers, ready to expose everything.
"Tony, I didn't know about such a thing. I didn't know that you would be so burdened by this kind of thing."
"Why?" Interrupting him, Tony raised his head and yelled at him again. "Why don't you know?"
Looking at his current performance, Zhou Yi frowned deeply, and then said to him word by word.
"The gods are not omnipotent. I can do some things you imagine, but there are some things I can't do. Omniscient and omnipotent are your imaginations about gods. It's like the one you said God. If he really has this kind of ability, I won't smash his heaven to pieces."
Stating the facts was also giving him a silent warning, and Zhou Yi gave him his answer in this way. Upon hearing such an answer, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on Tony's face.
"It's ridiculous. Why should I tell you this kind of thing. I can obviously not tell you anything. Just like we used to, we solve our own problems by ourselves and never blame the other party. I was obviously thinking Like the way we used to get along, why is it like this?"
When he talked about the past, it also reminded Zhou Yi of their previous appearance. They were very different back then than they are now. In other words, there is hardly any resemblance between them now and before. Whether it was him or Tony, it was like this. Even the relationship between them has undergone an obvious change compared with before.
This realization made Zhou Yi couldn't help raising his head, and silently puffed out his own smoke ring. It wasn't until a while later that he made such a sound to Tony.
"Tony, we are not the same as before. We used to be heartless, we could play as we wanted. Drink hard, go crazy, play with women. Cry when you want, laugh when you want. See who doesn't Beat him and call him an idealist. But now, it is impossible for us to do that. Whether it is you or me, we have experienced too many things. All these experiences have made us The things we had before are peeled off bit by bit. Ideals are eliminated and reality is added. Now we have passed the age of living for ideals. Reality, this is what we have to consider, and it is inevitable something to consider."
Hearing these words, Tony opened his mouth subconsciously. Want to refute something. But he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say any rebuttal words. He couldn't refute these, because these were indeed things that couldn't be more real. There is no way to refute, no way to object, this is the truth before him.
He had become the realist he had most loathed in the past. And he has no resistance at all to all these changes. In other words, all of this is his own choice. This made him feel ridiculous. And he looked at Zhou Yi who was opposite him, and immediately couldn't help but let out a deep, night-like laugh.
"Realism? Idealism? This kind of change is really big and scary. I never thought that such a change would happen to me. It's like a drama, ridiculous, really **** That's ridiculous!"
"Thank you, man. You made me see myself!"
"You're welcome, man. I'm just making us both a little more sane."
Standing up, he patted Tony on the shoulder. Zhou Yi said to him like this. And listening to the gradually disappearing movements around him, the smile on Tony's face also became more and more stiff.
He knew that he and this old friend might never be able to return to the way they were before. (To be continued.)
