Do you know the feeling of smiling at someone you just want to give them a punch? He is used to it, because every day he has to perform " how cute" shows with a few people, but I thought secretly, " why don't you have a real life mute button?".
The day before, he went to a class reunion. Meeting an old friend, who used to borrow notebooks and notebooks, now sitting and telling the story of his life, rich and prosperous. It asked: "How are you doing these days?" He laughed brightly, "ok, good business!" - while thinking: "I don't know where my child's tuition fees this month go" But he couldn't say it, because if I had to keep my image, it would be bad.
Then one day at work, he met his colleague who "spoke more than he breathed". She kept talking about her smart cat all day, while he just wanted to scream: "Why don't you teach me to stay quiet and keep quiet with you when you're smart?" But then he nodded, "Oh, your cat is so smart!" - accompanied by a smile that Oscar must have awarded the "Best Supporting Actor" award. He hated her, hated her like that, always getting into other people's affairs, but still had to fake it, because "good colleagues" were like that. Life is really funny, hate when you hate, but your mouth is as sweet as sugarcane.
Then the boss's birthday, the whole room invited each other to sing karaoke. The boss sang badly, his voice was like a duck in the middle of the field, yet he and his accomplices had to clap his hands and shouted: "The boss sings well, better than the singer!" The boss laughed, and he thought: "Luckily I don't have to pay for the ticket to listen to you!" But it's okay, pretending a little bit of fun, the next month's salary increase is okay. Life is the stage, but he plays a funny supporting role.
After all, fake things are tiring. One day when he came home, looking in the mirror, he wondered: "You laugh with the person you hate all day, don't you have a muscle in your face?" But then comforted himself: " well, that's life, if not, who will play with you?" People, who don't have to wear masks at all. When meeting someone I don't like, I keep laughing, keep praising, keep nodding - then go home and close the door, cursing. That is how to survive in this life where "Thach Sanh is few, Ly Thong is many".
But thinking back, this kind of fake is fun. It's like playing a game: How to keep your air calm while not revealing your "bitter hate" face. He lost a few games, but now he is a pro. Mai often meets her neighbors and makes many connections, so she must practice the saying "all you say is true" to make it smooth. That's life!
