"Bambi, you say, when I grow up, can I be a quarterback like you?" Miles' eyes still glistened with tears, but the smile returned to the corners of his mouth, blooming brightly and brilliantly, and his slightly pale little face slowly burst into life.

Lu Ke nodded firmly, "Of course you can." The last half of the sentence was still about to be said, but he successfully braked in time, showed a big smile at Miles, and said again affirmatively, "Of course!" ”

"Yay!" Miles clenched his fists, stared at Lu Ke intently, and said with some apprehension and some expectation, "You must come to see me in the future, okay?" ”

As he spoke, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flood again, and he muttered in a slightly choked voice, "Bambi, I will definitely eat well and be healthy......" He raised his fist and wiped away the tears in his eyes, "Miles won't cry, Miles will definitely grow strong into a quarterback, you must ...... Woo, you have to come and see me again, okay? Miles promises you that you will be obedient and obedient. ”

The vague words couldn't be heard clearly at all, but the sadness and reluctance in his voice were revealed thickly, and even Lu Ke became sour again.

Lu Ke showed a big smile at Miles, "Remember?" I'm nine, you're nine, we'll always be together and fight side by side, so, I'll definitely come to see you again, and when the time comes, we'll share the story together, that's it? Lu Ke gave Miles a thumbs up, and then made a hook with Miles, which made the little guy burst into laughter.

Leaving the ward, Lu Ke saw Nancy standing at the door of the ward at a glance, she turned around in a panic and quickly wiped the embarrassment on her cheeks, and then turned around, trying to maintain her composure, and showed a big smile to Lu Ke, "Bambi, thank you, thank you very much." I mean, I don't know how to express my gratitude. ”

"I should say thank you to me, thank you for allowing me to be a part of Miles' dream, and thank you for allowing me to accompany Miles in the fight. It's an honour for me and an honour for our whole team. Lu Ke is serious, and he is lucky to have such fans, "You know, Myers is really a really great kid, and I believe that he can achieve his dreams, whether it's Batman or quarterback." ”

This is what Lu Ke just wanted to tell Miles, but he avoided mentioning Batman for fear of revealing the secret of the "Gotham Town Wish".

He wanted to tell Miles:

"Whether it's being Batman, or being a quarterback, you can do it. As long as you believe in your dreams, then you have at least a chance to realize them, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance; And those who refuse to believe in their dreams, who reject their dreams, even if they have the ability to realize their dreams, themselves cut off all possibilities, because they refuse to believe in the existence of miracles. But the reality is that miracles exist because there are still people who want to believe it, stupidly believing in that one in 10,000 chance.

Not being able to achieve a dream is not terrible; What is really terrible is to refuse to believe in dreams, to extinguish all possibilities and opportunities from the root, and then complacently believe that you are the smart person who 'survives the fittest', and you are the winner of the 'survival of the fittest'. But they don't know that when life loses hope, life is just living. ”

Nancy stared at Lu Ke in front of her, nodded gently, her eyes that had not been completely wiped clean were moist again, and all the words were stuck in her throat, but she didn't know how to express them, and finally just nodded heavily and whispered, "Thank you", the simplest and most simple words, expressing all the thoughts in her heart.

After a few words of greeting, Lu Ke walked away.

When he walked to 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 her tears, constantly taking deep breaths to adjust her mood, and finally showed a big smile, pushed open the door of the ward, and the cheerful and happy voice faintly came from the end of the corridor, "Hey, Miles......" A ray of sunlight penetrated the ward door and sprinkled in the narrow and empty corridor, soft and dazzling.

Involuntarily, the corners of Lu Ke's mouth also rose together, he always likes such moments, a ray of hope becomes a touch of starlight after being lit, and that wisp of insignificant starlight constitutes the stars in the sky above the sky.

"If they say, who cares that another light goes out, and it is shining under billions of stars? Yes, I care. ”

This was true of Ryan Baldwin back then, and the same is true of Miles Scott now, those insignificant starlight 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 a step, Lu Ke left the hospital step by step, and he could clearly feel that the responsibility on his shoulders was becoming heavier and heavier.

In the beginning, he just wanted to become a professional rugby player, but as he moved forward, there were more and more supporters standing behind him, and at the same time, the responsibilities on his shoulders became heavier and heavier, from the trust within the locker room, to the golden sea of Ryan Baldwin, to the "Lu Ke Fund" entrusted by the fans, he is growing step by step into a leader.

Leaders not only stand on the stage to be cheered and pursued, but also need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the team; Behind the applause and cheers, there are corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

At the beginning, in order to support Ryan Baldwin, the fans spontaneously completed the fundraising, and finally all the money was transferred to Lu Ke, after Lech Steinberg's consultation and reference, the "Lu Ke Fund" was officially established, not in the name of the team, but in the name of Lu Ke became a foundation, symbolizing the inseparable bond between fans and Lu Ke.

Initially, the foundation was designed to support and help nine people cope with various life difficulties:

For example, nine people like Ryan Baldwin, who are suffering from illness but can't afford the high cost of treatment; Another example is young people who have been successfully admitted to university but have to put their studies on hold because of tuition fees; For example, vulnerable groups who need to hire a lawyer to solve the situation after encountering an emergency, but are unable to protect the rights and interests of senior employees due to financial constraints; Another example is minors who have been orphaned due to family problems.

In addition, Lu Ke also set up a training camp in the name of the foundation, which is held twice a year to recruit promising athletes, and then invite scouts, college coaches, and even league coaches to come to the screening, including the unselected players, can also come here to train, just so that those players can win another chance.

Now, the nine-man fundraising has become the smallest part of the foundation, and more than 20 San Francisco 49ers players, including Lu Ke, Logan, and Marcus, have donated part of their salaries, such as touchdown bonuses, and playoff win bonuses, and so on.

In addition, famous people led by Candace Swanepole, David Beckham, and Leonardo DiCaprio have also expressed their hearts and taken the initiative to help Lu Ke raise charity funds.

In less than two years, through the "Lu Ke Foundation", Lu Ke successfully started the journey of repaying the support of fans and leaving his own mark in the city.

What's more, Lu Ke now has more supporters throughout North America, and the name of the "Lu Ke Foundation" has also spread through players such as JJ Watt, Tony Romo, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Lane, Drew Bliss, etc., and fans of many other teams have also generously extended a helping hand, which also makes the foundation gradually expand its funding scope and slowly embark on a professional charity path.

Lu Ke has always deeply remembered that without the support of San Francisco, he would not have been 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, the sport could not continue to be maintained, and those advertising sponsorships and fan cheers also came from the affirmation of the whole society.

Today, in Miles, Lu Ke further sees the sparkle of willpower - his every move, his words and deeds are becoming an example, a pass or a victory, it may become the power of someone to continue life, it may also become the motivation for someone to give it a go, and it may even become a turning point in someone's life.

Through his own efforts and hard work, he can light a torch of dreams, illuminate the whole long dark night with the light of fireflies, and one day, he can light up one after another firefly light, and finally converge into a starry sky, one day he can dispel the darkness, welcome the coming of the sun, 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 meaning in life.

For Lu Ke, this is the deep meaning behind the word "leader", still unfamiliar, and even a little frightened because it is too heavy, he is not sure if he can do it, he is not sure if he can bear it, but Lu Ke has never been timid or afraid, even the most difficult challenges, he is brave to face them head-on!

This responsibility, this burden, gives life a unique meaning - now, not for his own fighting, Lu Ke couldn't help straightening his waist, striding forward, and moving towards the sun at full speed.
