Alan felt the awkward atmosphere reach its peak and decided to intervene, attempting to calm the dispute.
"Alright, alright, we've all known each other for so long, there's no need to keep bringing up old issues. We're all here for a common purpose, right?" Alan said in a calm tone.
Kevin listened and then showed a victorious smile on his face, as if feeling that his point of view had been recognized to some extent. Mary pouted but also understood that continuing to argue was pointless, so the two finally stopped their quarrel.
Kevin picked up the broom and began sweeping the classroom floor. He moved skillfully, seeming to want to quickly complete this task.
Alan walked to a storage cabinet, picked up two brooms, and walked to Mary, handing her one.
"Hurry up and finish sweeping for Kevin, so we can quickly go back and play ' Minecraft,'" Alan encouraged.
Mary took the broom, nodded, and said, "Okay, this way everyone can go home earlier."
The three of them worked hard with their heads down, leaving only the sound of the broom sweeping and rubbing against the floor in the classroom. Alan couldn't help but think that in this small classroom, there were three teenagers with different yet similar states of mind. They each had their own troubles and dissatisfaction, but they all found some comfort and self-identification in the virtual world of " Minecraft."
"Okay, we're almost done, just a little longer," Alan said with a smile, looking at Kevin and Mary.
Kevin stopped what he was doing, looked at Alan and Mary, and suddenly felt that maybe this is what friendship is. He picked up the last garbage bag and threw it into the trash can.
"Okay, it's settled. On the way home, I'll treat everyone to ice cream as my apology for earlier," Kevin said, seeming a bit embarrassed.
Mary and Alan exchanged a smile. Perhaps, in this old and worn-out classroom, apart from dust and old things, there was also growth, friendship, and a little bit of human radiance.
When the last eraser swept across the blackboard, the classroom finally regained its proper cleanliness. Kevin, Mary, and Alan each picked up their own backpacks and notebooks, neatly placing them on their respective seats.
"Are we having a live broadcast today?" Alan suddenly broke the silence, asking in a tone almost reminiscent of a professional meeting. He always liked to be well-prepared for things.
Mary glanced at the screen of her phone and shook her head. "There's no special plans or messages, so I'm pretty free. I was actually planning to go home and continue playing ' Minecraft.'"
Kevin heard this and a subtle smile flashed across his face. "Since there's nothing much to do, might as well hang out together." His tone was casual, but there was a barely noticeable glint in his eyes.
He suddenly stopped, as if he had just remembered something very important. "Ah! By the way, have you guys heard of the backroom legend in《Minecraft》?"
Mary shook her head in confusion, apparently not having encountered this information yet. However, Alan nodded slowly.
"Oh? You know?" Kevin's reaction to Alan was clearly very interested.
"Well, I've seen some discussions on related topics in some professional gaming forums and communities. However, most people believe that it's just an urban legend in the game, without much solid evidence," Alan's tone remained as calm as ever, but when it came to this, he couldn't help but show some curiosity.
"Hmm, urban legends aren't necessarily false, right? If there really is such a backroom, and it hides astonishing secrets, don't you think that's very exciting?" Kevin said excitedly, his eyes filled with a kind of almost fanatical curiosity.
Mary hesitated for a moment, then looked at Alan, as if seeking a more definitive answer. Alan smiled, and this time, there was a hint of rare excitement in his expression.
"Since everyone is so interested, why don't we explore it tonight and see what secrets this legend holds?" suggested Alan.
Kevin showed a very satisfied smile, and Mary nodded gently, as if all doubts and worries disappeared at that moment.
"That's settled then. Tonight, we will uncover the truth behind the backroom legend in 'Minecraft'," Kevin clenched his fist tightly, like an adventurer about to embark on a journey, filled with anticipation and the courage to face challenges.
The three of them exchanged glances, seemingly sensing an unspoken connection and trust.
They didn't go straight home, but instead took a walk on the way, enjoying the rare warm time. Kevin suddenly stopped and pointed to the nearby ice cream vendor.
"How about it, does anyone feel like having ice cream today?" Kevin suggested, looking back and forth between Mary and Alan.
"Wow, really? Kevin are you treating?" Mary eyes lit up as if she had seen a rare act of generosity from Kevin.
"Why not? The sun is so warm today, perfect for some ice cream," Kevin said with a smile.
Alan smiled faintly, "Then I won't be polite."
Before long, the three of them each held an ice cream and walked to a nearby small park. The golden light of the setting sun sprinkled on them, creating a beautiful scene.
Mary took a bite of the strawberry-flavored ice cream and said, "Mmm, this is really delicious! Kevin, you made a good choice this time!"
"Hmph, it's all because of my good taste," Kevin pretended to say in a proud manner, licking his chocolate ice cream.
Mary laughed heartily, "Okay, okay, you're the best!"
In this brief and beautiful moment, Alan quietly watched them, feeling an immense sense of peace and joy in his heart. He had almost forgotten to eat the vanilla ice cream in his hand, his gaze lingering more on Kevin and Mary.
He knows that each of them has their own story and troubles. Kevin and Mary are facing the confusion and anxiety of adolescence, as well as family issues, and so on. These are the heavy burdens they carry. But at least in this moment, all of that seems to have faded away, replaced by a simple and sincere happiness.
Alan silently makes a wish in his heart, hoping that they can soon emerge from their respective shadows and find their own happiness and freedom.
He looked in the direction where the sunset was about to disappear, took a deep breath, and then smiled. "Hmm, everything will be fine tonight," he thought. Then the three of them left the park together.
