San Francisco is filled with a bit of chilly air in the early morning, mixed with the dew left behind by the night. It falls moistly and heavily on the surface of the skin, making it wet and cold. Although the temperature in the Bay Area in late winter is not cold, the raging sea breeze is. It filled every corner of the city everywhere, and hard goose bumps appeared on the surface of the skin. I couldn't help but want to tighten my windbreaker to resist the invasion and corrosion of the cold wind.
The rising morning light passed through the thick fog thinly and weakly, revealing a touch of gold between the rich gray and dark green. It fell lightly, but it failed to bring warmth. Instead, it outlined the tombs in front of us. With the coolness and quietness of the garden, it seems that even the temperature of the sun has gradually dissipated, exuding a shallow coolness deep in the soul. Unknowingly, my breathing and footsteps have slowed down, for fear of disturbing the grasshoppers in the grass. , just like a lone traveler walking through the tunnel of time and space, loneliness and isolation are wrapped around the fingertips, always lingering.
After leaving the car, they followed the path made of stone slabs and climbed up the hill of the cemetery step by step. Lu Ke and Curry both became quiet, and there was a faint feeling of solemn sadness between them. It was not violent or violent. It's not heavy, it's just a gentle tug, but it makes the sound redundant.
In the distance, a touch of fresh and bright golden yellow appeared at the end of the line of sight, carrying the weight of dew and the tranquility of the morning. It bloomed quietly but flamboyantly, capturing all the sights that passed by unintentionally. Before he could search carefully in the fog, Ryan's resting place jumped into Lu Ke's sight, just like Ryan waving hello happily:
"Hey, I'm here!"
Large tracts of flowers are blooming proudly in a cramped and crowded manner. Golden tulips, yellow daisies, champagne roses and unknown golden yellow flowers are clustered around the tombstone, blooming majestically and colorfully. The ground outlines a touch of bright, bright colors that become a beautiful landscape in the severe cold winter. A few strokes outline a touch of vitality in the solemn and gloomy cemetery. Even the golden sunshine seems to have become warmer. The bright colors spread wantonly among dark gray and dark green.
gold. yellow. Golden. It was laid out openly and lively, and even the light gray slate tiles were dyed with a layer of tender color.
Involuntarily, Lu Ke's footsteps stopped like this, standing on the steps, quietly staring at the boundless and lawless bright color, which surrounded the entire tombstone noisily and noisily, and even started to move towards it. The neighbors next door spread over, and even though there was no sound around, you could still feel that the entire cemetery seemed to have been upgraded, rippling like a small golden ocean.
Such a sight is so thrilling that words eclipse it.
Curry's pace gradually slowed down, and finally stopped beside Lu Ke. The magnificent and magnificent scene in front of him hit his eyes, making his nose feel slightly sore, but he could feel the faint warmth in his chest. is surging, "It seems that there are many people who have the same idea as you, and you are still late."
Lu Ke's right hand held a bouquet of golden daisies, which were in bud and ready to bloom. They seemed to be waiting for the coming of spring. The buds that were ready to move might bloom proudly at any time, gestating hope in the haze and silence, and the daisies in front of him So is the golden color that fills the sky and the earth.
Obviously, Lu Ke is not the only one who remembers Ryan deeply. After the game ended yesterday, the Niners came here immediately and shared the happy news with Ryan in their own way, just like sharing it with every Niners:
They have never forgotten him, let alone abandoned him. During this arduous and long journey, they will go forward hand in hand; because Ryan is also a member of the Nine, an irreplaceable and indispensable member. "Once a Nine, always a Nine." , even if Ryan wants to escape, they will not give him a chance. This is a common battle that belongs to them. Without any one of them, they cannot reach the end. Ryan needs them just as they also need Ryan, " No one should be missing.”
one. two. Three...one after another, finally evolved into the scene before me, lighting up the whole world quietly and openly, even the brilliance of the morning sun became eclipsed, magnificently and grandly conveying the spirit of the entire city. The power is firmly united.
The answer Lu Ke was looking for was indeed found here.
Ryan is not alone, and he is not alone. In this battle, they have thousands of comrades fighting together. All the pressure and pain, all the difficulties and frustrations, all the fears and worries, the nine people will fight together. We also face responsibility together. Even if Lu Ke is standing at the front and leading thousands of troops into battle, he will never have to worry about his back, because he has the strongest and most loyal backing in the world.
There was a gurgling warmth in his chest, and the smile at the corner of his mouth also rose up. Lu Ke gently nodded his head in agreement, "Yes, it seems that I am late."
Then, the footsteps moved forward again, walking step by step towards Ryan's resting place.
Curry lagged behind Lu Ke. He hesitated a little and asked in a loud voice, "Bambi, uh... are you sure it doesn't matter? Otherwise, I'd better wait here." He wasn't too sure Determine whether Lu Ke needs a little private space to communicate with Ryan alone.
Lu Ke turned his head and cast his gaze, asking Curry with his eyes for no apparent reason, but Curry was a little nervous and didn't know how to express it accurately. Lu Ke thought about it for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help laughing, "Hey, Mr. Curry, Ryan and I don't have the kind of relationship you imagined. You can just come over, it doesn't matter."
That kind of relationship?
what relationship?
Curry blinked and took a moment to react to Lu Ke's teasing and complaining. This made Curry very helpless, "I didn't mean that at all, okay..." But Lu Ke didn't wait for an explanation anymore. Turning around and continuing to move forward, Curry had to call out repeatedly and quickly chased after him, "Hey! Hey, Bambi! I'm serious, what I just meant was... I didn't mean that... I didn't mean that either. mean……"
Curry always felt that he was getting darker and darker. When he came to Lu Ke's side and saw the cheerful smile on Lu Ke's face, he realized that Lu Ke was doing it on purpose and was clearly teasing him. Curry let out a depressed breath, "I'm not sure anyone has ever said that you are really a cunning guy! I mean, definitely not the kind of devout Christian who goes to church on Sunday or anything like that. "
"Indeed, I won't go to church on Sunday." Lu Ke nodded and answered in the affirmative.
Curry's attack that didn't look like an attack was so weak that it hit the air, and his breath was stuck in his throat. Then you can see Curry raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I give up!"
"Wise choice." Lu Ke simply got an advantage and acted like a good boy.
The footsteps stopped right in front of the tombstone, and I had to be careful under my feet, because the entire surrounding passage was filled with all kinds of bouquets, layer upon layer, radiating from the inside to the outside, in an orderly manner. The neat appearance looks like a work of art.
"Wow, look, there is a golden ocean wherever you are, and today is no exception." Lu Ke said with a smile on the lifeless tombstone in front of him, but the noisy and lively golden colors around him were always in sight. It was surging inside, and then the whole world became alive again.
Just like Ryan Baldwin once was.
"I guess, you already know, we almost lost yesterday. God, the game was really a disaster. I think in the video review meeting tomorrow, Hubble should have a cerebral blood vessel burst. How did we just Pushing myself to the edge of the cliff? Believe me, if I can, I would also like to win easily, without having to go ashore at the last moment every time, no matter how strong my heart is, it will explode!"
Lu Ke complained seriously. He didn't need to shift his gaze at all. He could notice that Curry, who was stunned next to him, was working very hard to hold back his laughter. "Just laugh if you want to. Holding it in is not good for your health. What's more, Ryan is not For such a rigid person, I think he should be able to understand my humor."
Pfft.
After all, Curry couldn't hold it back, but he didn't burst out laughing either. After laughing out loud, he controlled himself and stood aside to remain serious.
"The good news is that we finally won and entered the playoffs. Hey, remember? I told you at the beginning of the season that we will do our best to defend the title this year, but you missed a game What about a great drama? What a pity? Haha. But the bad news is that Willis is injured, damn it; Gene is also injured, and the doctor said he needs to rest for at least two weeks; my injury has not fully recovered either. , and Justin, and Big Joe, and Mike, and then and and and... Yes, our entire team is full of devastation now, and I really don’t know how to play in the playoffs, phew, There are so many problems.”
Lu Ke talked about serious topics in a relaxed tone, with deep worries in his words, but his cheerful tone seemed to be joking.
Curry couldn't help but look sideways at Lu Ke, and then found a touch of sadness in those eyes - Lu Ke concealed it very well. If Curry hadn't been standing next to him, he probably wouldn't have been able to see it at all; only At this moment, Curry was able to capture the side of Lu Ke who was also an ordinary person under his firm and tough appearance.
He almost forgot: Lu Ke was even one year younger than him. But Lu Ke has now become the spiritual leader of the entire San Francisco 49ers and even the entire city. So, how much hope does Lu Ke carry on his shoulders? Are those pressures crushing Lu Ke's young back?
Faintly, Curry also understood the reason why Lu Ke visited Ryan today.
