Ray had one hand in his pocket, holding a cigarette between his fingers. He asked. "Happy now? Acting like a kid content with just a bucket of smoothies. Don't you chase after anything? Ene thought. Chase after? As long as I am being chased, why wish for it?'

He replied, "And what's your goal? To smoke yourself to death? He glanced at Ray, his obsidian eyes as innocent and curious as a child's

Ray shouted, "You little beat! Are you cursing me?" He raised a hand to hit Eric, but Eric swiftly dodged it.

"Do you think I let you hit me for nothing?" Eric asked as he took a big sip of his smoothie. His cheeks bulged with cream. his handsome face radiating youthful charm.

Ray stubbed out his cigarette and was momentarily unsure about his life's goals. After thinking for a while, he finally said. "My goal is once I've earned enough money, I'll buy a big house by the beach and maybe get a dog." "And find a wife?" Eric suggested
