"you can."
Candice's unclear voice came from the other end of the phone receiver. Lu Ke couldn't help but was slightly stunned. He thought Candice had woken up, but then he listened carefully and could hear Candice Lu Ke realized that Si's steady and even breathing was just talking in his sleep.
But even in her sleep, Candice still expressed her support in her own way, just like Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning who were always standing behind him.
The smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and finally all the worries disappeared in the hunting night wind - life will continue, dreams will continue, and the battle will continue. After a little adjustment, he will stand up again Straighten your back and face the next challenge.
"Yeah." Lu Ke nodded gently, affirming Candice's words, and then joked in a brisk tone, "But it would be great if Patrick could come back soon. You can't put it down." Leave everything to me; and David too, is it too early to think about retirement life now? We still have three games to complete. It’s too late to think about the comfortable life of retirement after we successfully defend the title. …”
Lu Ke was joking, and then there was a knock on the door. Then the door to the room was pushed open. He turned his head reflexively and saw AJ Wallace standing at the door. , still holding a bottle of beer on his cell phone, he was looking for something, and then his eyes collided with Lu Ke's. He immediately touched his head awkwardly, waved hello, closed the door to the room again, and left. .
From showing up to leaving, it only takes a second.
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, and looked away. Without thinking much, he complained again into the receiver of his mobile phone. After feeling relieved again, he said, "...Good night, Tangtang." Then he hung up the phone, but he temporarily I don’t want to go out yet, the short silence during the party is always very precious, it seems that the whole person can relax completely.
Eee.
Lu Ke's peace only lasted for a moment. The door to the room was opened again. The sound of music mixed with neon light leaked out from the narrow crack in the door. The balance in the room was completely broken - it was still Wallace.
Since it was a celebration party, the more people, the better. The players were not prepared to make the party bigger, so they invited their family and friends to come, so that the party would be full of joy without being overly happy. The bottom line must be reached, otherwise things will be in trouble.
Wallace's appearance cannot be regarded as an accident.
Lu Ke didn't ask too much about what was going on between Aldon and Wallace. As long as Aldon could cheer up and go all out to shoulder the heavy responsibility of No. 99, there would be no problem. As for Aldon's friendship, Lu Ke didn't want to interfere too much; therefore, Lu Ke was not too surprised when Aldon invited Wallace.
But, why did Wallace come back again and again? Lu Ke and Wallace are not friends.
"Bambi." Wallace closed the door to the room and wandered near the door, not approaching rashly. "I was just looking for you." This explained the action of pushing the door open, "I think , I should owe you an apology. Everything that happened before was all misunderstandings. We are all for Aldon, right? I obviously shouldn't misunderstand you at will. "
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
"I have seen the changes and growth of Ardon in just a few weeks. This is all our credit."
Our credit? Which "us"?
However, Lu Ke didn't want to get entangled with Wallace on these details. That was Aldon's business. The only thing he cared about was whether the team's No. 99 could cheer up. As for his off-field life, that was personal freedom. He didn't Hui also doesn't want to interfere too much, just like he doesn't want anyone to interfere with his personal life.
Lu Ke did not interrupt Wallace and allowed him to continue speaking.
"So, I feel that I should apologize for my previous bastard behavior. I know now that you also sincerely mean good things to Al Dong. We should be friends, not enemies. Sorry, I must express my sincere apology. I think, Al Dong Touya wants his two best friends to reconcile, doesn’t he?”
Wallace said sincerely, but Lu Ke was filled with more confusion: What is going on? Did Wallace really come here just to apologize?
This is a bit fanciful.
Lu Ke became wary with some doubts, but did not refuse Wallace——
It can be seen from the head-on collision during the last visit that the friendship bond between Aldon and Wallace is very special, a relationship that is close to family affection and cannot be easily broken up. There is another explanation for Wallace's unusual behavior tonight, and that is that Aldon ordered Wallace to come and apologize. In order to ease the team's atmosphere, that also makes sense.
Lu Ke had no objection to this. If necessary, Lu Ke also sincerely hopes that Wallace can coexist peacefully with the team. Maybe this can help Aldon go further and truly become the leader of the team's defensive team.
In fact, Aldon has such strength. He just needs to truly grow up mentally and persevere. In the past two weeks, Aldon's performance is very worthy of recognition. All he needs to do now is to continue this performance. Over time, through time and polish, he will grow into a leader who can succeed Willis, which is undoubtedly crucial to the future of the San Francisco 49ers. The support from teammates and friends is what drives Aldon forward.
For this reason, and not whether Wallace has truly "reformed", Lu Ke is still willing to show his respect.
"The most important thing is Aldong's persistence and hard work." Lu Ke has no intention of taking the credit for himself. In the final analysis, Aldong still needs to change, and subsequent things can happen. "But he does need more support, all of this It’s not that easy, so the understanding and help from friends is also very precious.”
"That's right!" Wallace's eyes brightened, and he took steps in the direction of Lu Ke. His eyes were completely bright, "It's really great that Aldon can have a friend and captain like you. What you did for Aldon was so selfless and powerful, which is really respectable. I think Aldon should follow your example and learn from you."
Positive and enthusiastic words, even flattering.
Lu Ke always felt something strange, but couldn't explain why - maybe it was just his own random thinking, because the first impression at the beginning was not very good, so that he faced all of Wallace's problems based on his preconceived notions. He will be suspicious of his actions, thinking that something is wrong even if nothing happens, which will eventually affect his judgment. This is also a possibility.
Lu Ke suppressed all his speculations and doubts for the time being. He didn't want to beat everyone to death with a stick. He should at least give others a chance to change their ways, right? Maybe there was a side to Wallace that he hadn't begun to understand, and he could calm down and listen carefully to what was going on.
So, without showing his emotions, he nodded to Wallace with a smile and said humbly, "Aldon should use Patrick as a role model; Aldon and I are friends, we both entered the league in the same year, and There is a lot to learn. We can work side by side and make progress together."
"Of course! Of course! Patrick is really a very good leader and mentor!" Wallace also nodded in agreement, his smile fully blooming, "So, now that Patrick can't play for the time being, Aldon should also follow Follow in his footsteps and take on more responsibilities.”
What does it mean?
Faintly, Lu Ke had an ominous premonition. He tried to ignore it, and then told himself that it was all random thoughts, but the ominous premonition still occurred.
Lu Ke always felt that there was something in Wallace's words, and even that flattering smile seemed malicious. Now he only hoped that it was his own prejudice that caused him to misunderstand Wallace, otherwise it would be like swallowing a fly. He couldn't suppress his nausea, so he took the initiative to ask, "What do you mean?" At the same time, he stared at Wallace intently, not missing the slightest change in his expression.
Wallace didn't seem to notice the solemnity in Lu Ke's eyes - or maybe he noticed it but didn't care, "Look, you and Aldon entered the league in the same year, and you are now the captain of the offensive team, enjoying There are countless cheers and support, so how can Aldon be left behind? Is this the truth? I think Aldon can also become a very good defensive team captain!"
Unfortunately, he was right.
"Like you, Aldon has the ability and courage. In the past two games and throughout the past season, Aldon has proven that he can shoulder the responsibility of the entire team. He can become a very, very good player. An excellent leader. Although he is only a third-year student, you are the model in the team. So it is not special for Aldon to become the captain of the defensive team. Why not Aldon? He is now the best in the defensive team. The player in the best condition. Captain, this is a matter of course and a reward for Aldon's ability!"
Wallace was still talking nonchalantly, getting more and more excited as he talked. The excitement of foaming at the mouth gradually amplified in Lu Ke's eyes, but Lu Ke only saw shamelessness——
He was really too naive and took it for granted that Wallace might change, but if you think about it seriously, even Aldon has not completely changed yet. Everyone in the team worked together to help him; but he didn't get it at all. How could the helpful Wallace change so easily?
Now, the entire team and the entire city are looking forward to Willis' return from injury, but at this time, Wallace is thinking wholeheartedly about replacing Aldon. This is no longer selfish, and even It can be said that his intentions are sinister, and his naturally excited face is really disgusting!
