The golden sunlight fell lightly on the red maple leaves, rippling a shallow ripple, and those colorful colors could be vaguely seen in the halo, colorful and gorgeous, so that Miles Scott carefully stretched out his palm, catching a ray of light falling through the window lattice, the faint warmth made the skin of the palm a little itchy, and it beat playfully, and he couldn't help but want to close his fingertips and treasure this warmth, but he couldn't do it.

He had just completed the last lumbar puncture, and the pain of all the strength being withdrawn from his spine made him completely lose control of his body, so he could only lie quietly on the bed, just like his mother said, obediently and quietly rest, and then everything would be fine.

He's going to be fine, right?

Outside the window, there was a faint sound of joyful and noisy laughter, surging in the bright and gentle sunlight, Miles couldn't help but slowly raise his eyes, catching the mottled trajectory of the sun, as if he was chasing those laughter, imagining that after he could stand up, he would be able to join the friends, run happily, sweat profusely, and then step on the ground fountain to drench himself.

However, thinking about it, the brightness in his eyes dimmed, because my mother said that it would catch a cold, and he would get sick, very serious, very serious, and then he might not see his father and mother for a long time. He didn't understand why the kids could and he couldn't.

He kind of wanted to watch TV. He performed well in the lumbar puncture today, he didn't even cry out in pain, his performance was so good, could his mother let him watch one more episode of Batman? Even if it's just ten minutes longer, he wants to see Batman and Riddler fight, and he wants Batman to defeat Riddler.

The fingers of his right hand were slightly retracted, and then the sunlight was beating in turn at the fingertips, as if dancing, he remembered Lu Ke's footsteps in the pocket protection, light and smart, always able to get rid of the collision and grappling of defenders, unrelentingly find the gap in passing, and finally defeat the opponent, the smile on the corner of his mouth involuntarily rose, "The fight continues!" He muttered in a low voice, and every time he shouted this slogan, he was extremely excited.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door.

"Excuse me, is Miles at home? Can I come in now? ”

Miles was slightly stunned, didn't think much about it, and cried out in a milky voice, "Who's there?" Mom said you can't just let strangers in! ”

The man at the door of the "......" obviously didn't expect such an answer, paused slightly, and then replied, "My name is Lu Ke, I am the quarterback of the 49ers in San Francisco, I heard that there is a little guy named Miles Scott here, he is a loyal nine, I made a special trip to visit him today to express my sincere gratitude!" ”

"Bambi? Bambi! Miles' eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, "Bambi, is it really you?" But he didn't invite Lu Ke in, he just turned his head to look at the door of the ward, kept looking for it, and looked around but still couldn't find Lu Ke's figure, "Bambi? Where are you? ”

At this time, Lu Kecai pushed open the door of the ward, poked out a head, and immediately saw the tiger-headed Miles, and took the initiative to wave his hand to say hello, "Hey, Miles!" ”

"Ahh Miles' uncontrollable scream suddenly sounded in his ears, but as he shouted, he choked on his own saliva and began to cough violently, and his weak body even made him a little sick to his stomach, and he retched directly, such a sudden situation made Lu Ke a little hurried, and quickly put the jersey and rugby in his hand at the end of the bed, found a spittoon next to the hospital bed, and hurriedly placed it in front of Miles.

Looking at the chubby and immature face in front of him was completely entangled, the pain and bitterness between the eyebrows could not be concealed at all, and the overturning of the river and the sea inside the body made the whole body show strong resistance, and at a certain moment, the body seemed to be no longer his own, and he was completely out of control.

Just sitting next to him, the scene in front of him was unbearable, and Lu Ke only felt distressed.

But Miles, who was relieved, was the first to calm down, and before the saliva at the corner of his mouth could be wiped away, he waved his hand again and again and said, "I'm fine." I am fine. Do not worry. He raised his eyes and carefully examined Lu Ke's expression, a little timid and a little restrained.

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 normalcy and showed a big smile again, "This first meeting is really impressive." Lu Ke made a small joke, but found that Miles didn't react at all, still looking at him secretly and shyly and cautiously, as if he didn't understand Lu Ke's humor, which made Lu Ke a little deflated, he could only change his tactics and said straightforwardly, "Nice to meet you, Miles, I'm the fourteenth of the 49 people in San Francisco, Lu Ke." ”

Miles didn't speak, and after really seeing Lu Ke, he seemed a little shy, not knowing how to accurately express his mood at the moment; But his eyes brightened, staring at Lu Ke brightly, his eyes were full of excitement, and the excitement that couldn't be concealed was the best response.

In fact, Lu Ke was also a little nervous, but when he saw Miles's expression at this time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his smile bloomed, "I heard that you are a loyal nine-person person, so today, as a representative of the team, I made a special trip to thank you, thank you for your support, and I also brought a little gift." ”

Turning around, Lu Ke found the jersey and rugby at the end of the bed - in fact, Lu Ke was going to buy Batman peripheral products, which is Miles' favorite thing and the most practical; But in order to avoid revealing the secret, he eventually gave up on such a tempting idea and chose the jersey and rugby.

Miles didn't take it right away, still a little hesitant.

Lu Ke didn't understand at first, but then he noticed the eager eyes of Miles who were constantly looking around, and then he understood, and then explained, "I have asked my mother for advice in advance, and I got a positive answer, so I brought the gift." ”

Really.

Miles's expression immediately brightened, he took the football and jersey with both hands, and shouted in an extremely excited tone, "There is actually Logan's signature here!" And Patrick's! Wow! And then this one is...... Marcus! I really, really like him. ”

At the time of the first sentence, Lu Ke was about to answer, but then he realized that Miles was completely immersed in his own world and directly ignored his existence. Lu Ke couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything, just sat quietly next to him, letting Miles enjoy the joy of the moment first, there was no need to force Miles to focus on him - after all, the real hero today is Miles, not Lu Ke, isn't it?

The world of a five-year-old is actually very simple, a cartoon, a hamburger, a day out, or even a Halloween candy game can make life colorful, such pure and sincere joy and happiness, it seems that you will never find it again when you grow up.

Miles couldn't put it down and played rugby, pouting, a little hesitant, 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 of the child's words inadvertently reveal a hint of the philosophy of life, and the world of children can often see more truths, "I mean, you may meet very, very strong opponents, and you may encounter very, very bad moments, and at any time, do you believe that you can win?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Ke nodded heavily and gave an affirmative answer, "Miles, do you know?" From the first time I was introduced to rugby, everyone was telling me I couldn'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 didn't fool the other party casually because Miles was young.

Perhaps, they are right, because there are times in life when you can't do things even if you try hard. But on the other hand, if you don't even believe in yourself, how can you ask others to believe in you? And more importantly, how can you do it? No matter how it ends, I always believe in myself and then give it my all and fight until the last moment! ”

"Hee-hee." Miles showed a big smile, "The fight doesn't stop!" After finishing speaking, he himself became shy, as if he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Lu Ke, and then hugged the rugby tightly and buried his head deeply, although he couldn't see his expression, he could clearly feel that the bright emotions were sinking little by little, "But what if you're scared?" I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself......" Along with the loss of emotion, his voice gradually deepened, and finally evolved into a slurred mutter, which could not be heard clearly at all.

But the meaning is clear.

Lu Ke didn't answer immediately, communicating with the child, you need to show respect and sincerity, and at the same time, you need to find a correct way, he thought about it carefully, and then said, "That's normal, everyone is allowed to be afraid, in fact, there are countless terrifying things in real life, everyone may be afraid, and how to face those things that they are afraid of, this is the core of defining a person." ”

Everyone has their own monster deep inside, and never laugh at someone for their cowardice and fear, because everyone has their own battles to face. This is true for adults, but also for children, and even those seemingly insignificant little monsters are objects that can never be defeated in some people's worlds.

More important than the monster is how to deal with the monster.
