Although distressed, he stood firm; Although I was worried, I persevered. Nancy's education of Miles shows her wisdom and maturity, which reminds Lu Ke of the meeting in the hospital - Nancy is worried that Miles is worried because of herself, Miles is worried that Nancy is injured because of herself, they are taking care of each other, that kind of strength, distressing, but also admirable.

Now, it's even more rare.

Just a month ago, Miles completed the incredible Christmas miracle, and that brilliant sea of red and gold made him easily the most watched "bat kid" in the entire North American continent, and his popularity and recognition even surpassed that of many top Hollywood stars.

Miles's super popularity has also attracted countless attention, many talk shows have invited him to star, many manufacturers want to sign a contract with Miles, and even Lu Ke heard that Scott's family has received a lot of generous donations one after another, even for middle-class families.

This is undoubtedly a sea change.

Just look at Macaulay-Culkin, who became an instant hit with "Home Alone", his parents regarded him as a cash cow, his siblings regarded him as an imaginary enemy, and in just two or three years, he overdrew his fame, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into a bottomless abyss, sliding across the sky like a meteor and disappearing without a trace.

But Nancy kept her composure.

Miles did not become an Internet celebrity, but let those "stars and popularity" slowly precipitate and dissipate, and became an ordinary five-year-old child again, enjoying the childhood life he should face, making up for the years that disappeared due to illness, which is really rare.

Not to mention that Nancy is still patiently educating Miles now.

At this time, Lu Ke noticed Nancy's gaze, and he showed a polite smile, "Sorry to disturb me." ”

Nancy couldn't help but chuckle and waved her hand repeatedly, "Don't worry, the little guy is just shy." ”

Even five-year-olds have self-esteem and pride, and if adults think that they don't exist, then the harm is invisibly created.

Lu Ke and Nancy both maintained their respect for Miles and did not "uncover the scars", but Miles noticed the abnormality, and when he turned his head and saw Lu Ke, he couldn't help but be startled, and quickly buried his head in Nancy's arms, like a little ostrich, and the overwhelmed appearance made people laugh.

But Lu Ke didn't laugh, but restrained his smile, pretended that nothing had happened just now, and took the initiative to say hello, "Good morning, Miles." ”

Nancy looked down at her son in her arms, "Miles, if you don't want to see Bambi, I can ......"

"No, no, no, I think. I mean......" Miles argued repeatedly, but found that he couldn't speak clearly, and finally simply quieted down and took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his eyes, turned around, faced Lu Ke, and said clearly, "Bambi, welcome to my house." ”

Although it is only a one-sided relationship, Lu Ke really likes the little guy Miles, and in his bones, he can always see a stubbornness.

It's like Lu Ke himself.

Lu Ke squatted down, kept his gaze parallel to Miles, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, how are you doing lately?" I've noticed that you're getting outdoors now. ”

"Ahh Miles suddenly exclaimed, Lu Ke and Nancy didn't know why, but they saw Miles turn around and run with steps, turn off the faucet, make sure that the water pipe would not spray water again, and then ran back, which made Lu Ke and Nancy exchange a look, and both laughed.

After a back and forth, the smile on Miles' face bloomed, "Bambi, Bambi!" The last game was really exciting! Fifty! Fifty! We scored 50 points! Haha, we beat Seattle! We're in the Super Bowl! It's really incredible! ”

Lu Ke silently raised his right hand, and then Miles rushed over directly, and Lu Ke completed a high-five celebration with a heavy high-five.

"Smack!"

The crisp high-five made Miles laugh out loud, and even Lu Ke laughed out loud, "Look, you fulfilled your promise, and I also fulfilled mine." Now, with one last step left to fulfill my promise, I can't wait to go to the battlefield and fight for the final honor, what about you? What do you think? Would you like to join us in the most important and final battle of the 2013 season? ”

Miles was slightly stunned, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lu Ke in disbelief, his thoughts a little unable to turn around.

Nancy was a little surprised and waved her hand, "Bambi, you don't have to...... I mean, it doesn't matter...... Actually, you don't have to come and invite us. ”

Lu Ke shook his head firmly, "A promise is a promise." Remember? As agreed, Miles was supposed to be at Candlestick Stadium to watch our Christmas game in person, which was our last game at Candlestick Stadium, but sadly, Miles missed it. "Because physical health does not allow it," and now the opportunity has come again. ”

"It's not Candlestick Stadium, it's not a Christmas War, but it's ......" Lu Ke's words made Nancy and Miles smile -

Lu Ke's words seemed to say that the Mets were not as good as Candlestick Stadium and the Super Bowl was not as good as the Christmas War, and they couldn't fulfill Myers' first wish, so they had to use the "Super Bowl as a substitute".

Lu Ke shrugged, "But I think at least give me a chance to fulfill our agreement before the end of the 2013 season." Miles Little Pumpkin, what do you say? Are you interested? ”

Miles nodded again and again, nodding frantically, his whole little face was swollen red because he was so excited, but he still didn't agree immediately, but turned his head to look at Nancy, "Can I go?" Can I participate? Mommy, Mommy! Can I participate? I'm going to do well, please! I promise, I'll be obedient, please let me participate, okay? Please, please, please, please! ”

Nancy deliberately didn't reply immediately, but watched as Miles kept pleading with herself, her little rosy cheeks recalling her back when Miles was still a baby.

Seeing that Miles jumped up completely and seemed a little out of breath, Nancy hurriedly opened her hands and hugged Miles, and said with a smile, "Of course! Of course, of course! But you have to promise me one thing: you promise to behave well! Because you know, we have to get to New York, it's a long journey, it's not that easy. ”

"Nancy, all the expenses of your trip to New York are all borne by the team, rest assured, we are all looking forward to Myers being there for us to hold on until the last minute and sprint towards the finish of the season." Lu Ke said with a smile.

Nancy opened her mouth slightly, her face full of surprise, and those modest words of resignation finally evolved into a "thank you", which is the best response.

"Haha." Looking at Miles' eyes full of excitement and excitement, Lu Ke's mood also soared, "Miles, I came here today for three things, the first thing is to come here to visit you; The second thing is to invite you to the Super Bowl scene; Then, there's a third thing you need help with. ”

"Help?" Miles was in a state of euphoria, staring at Lu Ke with wide eyes, and the excitement of eagerness began to overflow.

Lu Ke nodded, "I'm going to participate in a charity auction, organized by my mother and the rest of the team, and we will raise some funds, hoping to help more nine people." It would be great if you could donate a small item to join the auction. I mean, anything goes, anything! ”

The charity auction was organized by the players' families, with the main purpose of raising funds to join the "Lu Ke Foundation" and help more nine people. All the items at the auction are donated by players, coaches, and guests, and there are no rules, a book, a ball, a bottle of wine, and even handmade works are very welcome, and the important thing is that the heart is accumulated with little sincerity and kindness.

Lu Ke hopes that Miles will also be a part of it, even if it is just a small item.

"Really? Are you sure! Can I help others too? Like you helped me in the first place? Miles exclaimed excitedly, then turned to look at Nancy, "Mom, can I donate my comic books?" Or, or! What about my baseball gloves? ”

"Of course, no problem!" Nancy replied dryly.

"Ahh Miles screamed and kissed Nancy directly on the cheek, "I'm going to pick a present!" I'm going to pick a gift now! Screaming and running, Miles ran back into the house, still yelling, "Daddy, I'm going to donate a gift!" I'm going to help the other guys too! ”

Nancy turned her head to look at Lu Ke, "He'...... Now the mood is a little bit bigger. ”

Lu Ke waved his hand, "He's doing what a five-year-old can do right now, and all of them are allowed." Because when we grow up, we don't have too many 'don'ts', don't we? ”

"Can't argue with it." Nancy laughed too, "That's what we expected, too." He's missed so much that it's too late to make up for it, but at least we can let him have the rest of his time and build up his childhood. Hopefully he will be able to make good memories. ”

"Who knows? Maybe one day, those hardships and pains will also become sweet memories, and we will begin to learn to be grateful for those setbacks, because they made us who we finally are. Lu Ke said meaningfully-

For the past five years, Miles has struggled with the pain of his illness. Lu Ke couldn't be sure how much damage those misfortunes had caused, because he wasn't Miles, and he would never know how Miles felt, even Lu Ke himself, those years of immersion on the training ground, those years of exclusion and discrimination...... When he grew up and matured, looking back on those days, he did not choose resentment, but chose gratitude.

He hoped Miles would do the same.

Nancy immediately understood Lu Ke's words, and her eyes gradually brightened.
