"Bambi, do you think that when I grow up, I can become a quarterback like you?" Miles's eyes were still shining with crystal tears, but the smile returned to the corners of his mouth, bright and brilliant. It bloomed, and the slightly pale face slowly burst out with vitality.
Lu Ke nodded firmly, "Of course." He wanted to say the next half of the sentence, but he successfully stopped in time, showed a big smile to Miles, and said firmly again, "Of course!"
"Yeah!" Miles clenched his fists, stared at Lu Ke intently, and said with some anxiety and expectation, "You must come to see me again in the future, okay?"
As he spoke, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but well up again, and he muttered in a slightly choked voice, "Bambi, I will definitely eat well and get healthy..." He raised his fist and wiped it away. With tears in his eyes, "Miles won't cry. Miles will definitely grow up to be a quarterback. You must... wuwu, you must come see me again, okay? Miles promises you." , you must be obedient."
The vague words could not be heard clearly, but the sadness and reluctance in the voice were clearly revealed, making Lu Ke's nose sore again.
Lu Ke showed a big smile to Miles, "Remember? I am a Nine, and you are also a Nine. We will always fight side by side, so I will definitely come to see you again. When the time comes, Let’s share stories together again, is it settled?” Lu Ke raised his little thumb towards Miles, and then made a hook-drawing action with Miles, which made the little guy burst into tears and burst into laughter.
After leaving the ward, Lu Ke saw Nancy standing at the door of the ward at a glance. She turned around in a panic, quickly wiping the embarrassment on her cheeks, and then turned around, trying to stay calm, and exposed herself to Lu Ke With a big smile, "Bambi, thank you, thank you very much. I mean, I don't know how to express my gratitude."
"The person who should say thank you is me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of Miles' dream, and thank you for allowing me to accompany Miles to fight together. This is my honor and the honor of our entire team. "Lu Ke is serious. He is lucky to have such fans. "You know, Miles is really a great kid. I believe that he can realize his dream, whether it is Batman or Four. Shooting guard.”
This is what Lu Ke wanted to tell Miles just now, but he avoided mentioning Batman for fear of revealing the secret of "Gotham Town Wish".
He wanted to tell Miles:
"Whether it is becoming Batman or becoming a quarterback, you can do it. As long as you believe in your dream, you will at least have a chance to realize it, even if it is only a one in ten thousand chance; and those who refuse to believe in their dreams and veto their dreams Even if people have the ability to realize their dreams, they themselves have cut off all possibilities because they refuse to believe in the existence of miracles. But the reality is that the reason why miracles can exist is because there are still people who are willing to believe and foolishly believe That's a one in ten thousand chance.
It is not terrible to be unable to realize your dreams; what is truly terrible is that you refuse to believe in your dreams, kill all possibilities and opportunities from the root, and then smugly believe that you are the smart person who 'survives the fittest' , he is the winner of 'survival of the fittest'. But they don't know that when life loses hope, living is just living. "
Nancy stared at Lu Ke in front of her and nodded gently. Her eyes were wet again before they were completely wiped clean. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, but she didn't know how to express them. In the end, she just nodded heavily. Whispering, "Thank you", the simplest and most unpretentious words, express all the thoughts in my heart with great weight.
After a few words of greeting, Lu Ke walked away.
When he reached the end of the corridor, Lu Ke couldn't help but turn around again, and then he could see Nancy standing at the door wiping away all the tears, taking deep breaths to adjust her mood, and finally showed a big smile and pushed away From the ward door, the cheerful and happy voice came faintly from the end of the corridor, "Hey, Miles..." A ray of sunlight penetrated the ward door and fell on the long and empty corridor, soft and dazzling.
Involuntarily, the corners of Lu Ke's mouth also rose together. He always liked this moment, when a ray of hope lit up and turned into a wisp of starlight. Those wisps of insignificant starlight formed the sky above the sky. The sky is filled with stars.
"Who cares, they say, when another light goes out, twinkling beneath billions of stars in the sky? Yes, I do."
Ryan Baldwin was like this back then, and so is Miles Scott now. Those insignificant stars are indispensable to this starry sky. Without them, the world would not be what it is now. . So, even the faintest ray of starlight is worth caring about.
Taking steps forward, Lu Ke left the hospital step by step. He could clearly feel that the responsibility on his shoulders was becoming heavier and heavier.
At first, he just wanted to be a professional rugby player, but as he progressed, more and more supporters stood behind him. At the same time, the responsibilities on his shoulders became heavier and heavier, starting from the trust inside the locker room. , to Ryan Baldwin's golden ocean, to the "Lu Ke Fund" entrusted by fans, he is growing into a leader step by step.
Leaders not only stand on the stage and receive cheers and admiration, but also shoulder the important responsibility of leading the team; behind enjoying the applause and cheers, there are also corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
At the beginning, in order to support Ryan Baldwin, fans spontaneously completed the fund-raising. In the end, all the funds were transferred to Lu Ke. After the consultation and reference of Lech Steinberg, the "Lu Ke Fund" was finally officially established. ", not in the name of the team, but in the name of Lu Ke, it became a foundation, symbolizing the inseparable bond between fans and Lu Ke.
Initially, this foundation was specifically designed to support and help nine people deal with various life difficulties:
For example, nine people like Ryan Baldwin who are suffering from illness but cannot afford the high cost of treatment; another example is young people who have successfully entered college but had to put their studies on hold because of tuition fees; another example is those who encounter unexpected events Vulnerable groups who later need to hire lawyers to resolve the situation but are unable to protect senior rights and interests due to financial constraints; another example is minors who have become orphans due to family problems.
In addition, Lu Ke also established a training camp in the name of the foundation, which is held twice a year to recruit promising athletes, and then invites scouts, college coaches, and even league coaches to come and screen. Even undrafted players can come here to train, just to allow those players to win another chance.
Now, the nine-person fundraising has become the smallest part of the foundation. More than 20 San Francisco 49ers players, including Lu Ke, Logan, and Marcus, have donated part of their salary, such as touchdowns Bonuses, such as playoff victory bonuses, and other incentive funds, can also create more motivation while pursuing victory. In this way, we can support the operation of the foundation and give back to the support of the San Francisco Bay Area.
In addition, famous people including Candice Swanepoel, David Beckham, and Leonardo DiCaprio also expressed their feelings and took the initiative to help Lu Ke raise charity funds. , relying on the title of "Chinese Quarterback", Lu Ke has initially started to develop in the upper class.
In less than two years, through the "Lu Ke Foundation", Lu Ke successfully embarked on a journey to repay the support of fans and leave his own mark on this city.
More importantly, Lu Ke now has more supporters throughout North America, and the name of the "Lu Ke Foundation" has also been through JJ Watt, Tony Romo, Aaron Rodgers, and Matt Ryan. , Drew Brees and other players have spread, and fans of many other teams have also generously extended a helping hand. This has also gradually expanded the scope of the foundation's funding and slowly embarked on a A professional philanthropic path.
Lu Ke has always kept in mind that without the support of San Francisco, he would not be able to achieve his current success; at the same time, Lu Ke gradually began to understand that without the support of the league and all fans, this sport cannot continue, and those who Advertising sponsorship and fan cheers also come from the affirmation of the entire society. As much cheer as he enjoys, he should bear as much responsibility.
Today, Lu Ke further saw the gleaming willpower in Miles - every move he made and every word he said was becoming a role model. With one pass or one win, it could become someone. The power to continue life may also be the motivation for someone to give it a try, or even become a turning point in someone's life.
Through his own hard work and struggle, he can light a torch of dreams and illuminate the entire long night with the light of fireflies. Eventually, one day, he can light up one firefly after another, and finally converge into a sky full of stars. One day we can dispel the darkness, welcome the coming of sunshine, and truly let dreams and hopes show their original appearance.
This is the power of example, glorious and heavy, but it is another level of the meaning of life.
For Lu Ke, this is the deep meaning behind the word "leader". It is still unfamiliar, and even a little scary because it is too heavy. He is not sure whether he can do it, he is not sure whether he can bear it, but Lu Ke has never He will not be timid or afraid, and he will bravely face even the most difficult challenges head-on!
This responsibility, this burden, gives life a unique meaning - he is not fighting for himself now. Lu Ke can't help but straighten his back, take steps with his head held high, and head towards the sun at full speed. .
