The golden sunlight fell lightly on the red maple leaves, creating shallow ripples. You could vaguely see the colorful colors spread out in the halo, which was colorful and gorgeous, which made Meier... Scott carefully stretched out his palm, catching the ray of light that fell through the window lattice. The faint warmth made the skin on his palm itchy, and it started to beat playfully. He couldn't help but want to close his fingertips. Treasure this ray of warmth, but he can't do it.
He had just completed the last lumbar puncture, and the pain of all the strength being drained from his spine made him completely lose control of his body. He could only lie quietly on the bed like this, just like his mother said, be good. Rest quietly and everything will be fine.
Will he get better?
There was faint joy and noisy laughter outside the window, surging in the bright and gentle sunlight. Miles couldn't help but slowly raised his eyes, catching the mottled tracks of the sunlight, as if he was chasing Those laughters are like those, imagining that after he can stand up, he can join those friends, running happily until he is sweating profusely, and then stepping on the ground fountain to get himself soaked.
However, as he thought about it, the brightness in his eyes dimmed, because his mother said that he would catch a cold and he would get sick, a very serious illness, and then he might not be able to see his father and mother for a long time. . He didn't understand why those kids could do it but he couldn't.
He kind of wants to watch TV. He performed very well during today's lumbar puncture, and he didn't even complain of pain. He performed so well. Can mom let him watch one more episode of Batman? Even if it was just ten more minutes, he wanted to see Batman and the Riddler fight. He wanted Batman to defeat the Riddler.
The fingers of his right hand were slightly folded, and then the sunlight danced on the fingertips in turn, like a dance. He thought of Lu Ke's steps in the pocket protection, light and agile, always able to get rid of the collision and sack of defensive players. He relentlessly found a passing gap and finally defeated his opponent. The smile on his lips turned up involuntarily, "The battle never stops!" He muttered in a low voice. Every time he shouted this slogan, he became extremely excited.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock at the door.
"Excuse me, is Miles home? Can I come in now?"
Miles was stunned for a moment, and without thinking much, he called out in a sweet voice, "Who's there? Mom said you can't just let strangers in!"
"..." The man at the door obviously did not expect such an answer. He paused slightly and then answered, "My name is Lu Ke. I am the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. I heard that there is a guy named Mike here. Scott’s little guy, he’s a loyal Niner and I came over to visit him today to say a sincere thank you!”
"Bambi? Bambi!" Myers' eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. "Bambi, is it really you?" But he didn't invite Lu Ke in, but just turned to look at the ward. At the door, he kept looking around, looking around but still couldn't find Lu Ke, "Bambi? Where are you?"
At this time, Lu Ke pushed open the door of the ward and stuck his head out. He immediately saw the tough-looking Miles and waved hello, "Hey, Miles!"
"Ah!" Miles's uncontrollably excited scream suddenly rang in his ears, but as he shouted, he choked on his own saliva and began to cough violently. His weak body even made him a little bit nervous. He felt nauseated and retched immediately. Such an unexpected situation made Lu Ke a little confused. He quickly put the jersey and football in his hands at the end of the bed, found a spittoon next to the hospital bed, and quickly placed it in front of Miles.
Seeing the chubby young face in front of me completely entangled, the pain and bitterness between the brows could not be concealed at all. The turmoil inside the body made the whole body show strong resistance. At a certain moment, the body seemed not to be one's own. , completely out of control.
Just sitting next to him, the scene in front of him was unbearable, and Lu Ke felt a pang of distress.
But Miles, who had regained his composure, was the first to calm down. Before he could wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth, he waved his hands and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry." He raised his eyes and carefully Looking at Lu Ke's expression, he was a little timid and a little reserved.
Lu Ke didn't know why. He just thought that because he saw a stranger or because he saw an idol, Miles didn't want to trouble him, so he quickly returned to normal and showed a big smile again. "This first meeting is really impressive." Lu Ke joked a little, but found that Miles didn't react at all. He was still secretly watching him shyly and cautiously, as if he didn't understand Lu Ke's humor. This made Lu Ke a little frustrated. He could only change his tactics and said directly, "Nice to meet you, Miles. I am No. 14 of the San Francisco 49ers, Lu Ke."
Miles didn't speak. After seeing Lu Ke, he seemed a little shy and didn't know how to accurately express his mood at the moment; but his eyes brightened up and he stared at Lu Ke brightly, his eyes filled with excitement. Unable to conceal excitement is the best response.
In fact, Lu Ke was also a little nervous, but when he saw Miles's expression, he felt a little relieved, and his smile bloomed, "I heard that you are a loyal Nine, so today I will serve as The team representative made a special trip to express my gratitude to you, thank you for your support, and I also brought a little gift."
Turning around, Lu Ke found a jersey and a football at the end of the bed. In fact, Lu Ke had originally planned to buy Batman peripheral products. This was Miles' favorite thing and the most practical; but in order to avoid leaking the secret , he finally gave up such an attractive idea and chose jerseys and football.
Miles didn't take it immediately, still hesitant.
Lu Ke didn't understand at first, but then he noticed Miles's eager eyes constantly looking around, and he finally understood, and then explained, "I have asked my mother's opinion in advance and got a positive answer. I just brought the gift."
really.
Miles's expression brightened immediately. He took the football and jersey with both hands and shouted with great excitement, "There's actually Logan's signature here! And Patrick's! Wow! And this is ...Marcus! I really, really like him."
When he said the first sentence, Lu Ke was still ready to answer, but then he realized that Miles was completely immersed in his own world and ignored his existence. Lu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say much. He just sat quietly next to him, letting Miles enjoy the moment of joy first. There was no need to force Miles to focus on him - after all, what was really going on today? The protagonist is Miles, not Lu Ke, right?
The world of a five-year-old is actually very simple. A cartoon, a hamburger, an outing, or even a Halloween candy game can make life colorful. Such pure and sincere joy and happiness seem to grow up After that it was never found again.
Miles couldn't put it down while playing with the rugby ball. He pouted and hesitated a little, but finally mustered up the courage and raised his head to look at Lu Ke, "Bambi, do you always believe that you can win?" The childish words The immatureness of children's words unintentionally revealed a hint of the philosophy of life. Children's world can often see more truths, "I mean, you may encounter very, very powerful opponents, and you may also encounter yourself in a very bad state." Do you believe you can win at a very bad time, no matter what time it is?"
"Yeah." Lu Ke nodded heavily and answered in the affirmative, "Miles, do you know? From the first time I came into contact with football, everyone has been telling me that I can't do it."
Facing Miles, Lu Ke slowed down his speech as much as possible and used relatively simple words to express his meaning, but his expression was absolutely focused and serious, and he did not fool the other person just because Miles was young.
"Perhaps, they are right, because there are indeed times in life that you can't do something even if you try hard; but from another perspective, if you don't even believe in yourself, how can you ask others to believe in you? What? More importantly, how can you do it? No matter what the outcome is, I always believe in myself, then go all out and fight until the last moment!"
"Hehe." Miles showed a big smile, "The battle never stops!" After saying that, he became shy, as if he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Lu Ke, and then hugged him tightly. He picked up the rugby ball and buried his head deeply. Although you couldn't see his expression, you could clearly feel that the bright mood was getting lower bit by bit. "But, what if you are afraid? You are afraid that you can't do it. To..." Along with the emotional loss, his voice gradually became lower and lower, and finally turned into an indistinct mumbling that could not be heard clearly at all.
But the meaning is clear.
Lu Ke did not answer immediately. When communicating with children, one needs to show respect and sincerity, and at the same time find a correct way. He thought about it carefully and then said, "That's normal. Everyone is allowed to be afraid." Yes, in fact, there are countless terrifying things in real life that everyone may be afraid of, and how to face those things that one is afraid of is the core that defines a person."
Everyone has their own monster deep inside. Never laugh at others because of their timidity and fear, because everyone has their own battles to face. The same is true for adults, and the same is true for children. Even those seemingly insignificant little monsters are objects that can never be defeated in some people's world.
What is more important than the monster is how to face the monster.
