Chapter 207: I Brought What We Agreed Upon, But Where Are You?
Today's New York, the weather is very good, in the words of the elementary school essay, the sun is shining.
The craze of the Championship Parade in New York the day before has not yet passed, and many fans are still talking about the championship.
What makes New York fans most relieved is Meng Xiaohao's decision to stay in New York.
Meng Xiaohao's words at the championship parade showed Meng Xiaohao's determination to stay, which is undoubtedly the news that Fortune fans are most willing to hear in addition to winning the championship.
As for how much annual salary the Fortune Team will use to sign Meng Xiaohao, this is not something that fans can guess.
But they know the New York Fortune team's style of doing things, after all, it is located in the first city in the United States, and the characteristics of the Fortune team are just four words......
"Rich and rich!"
Therefore, fans believe that the Fortune team will give Meng Xiaohao a satisfactory annual salary.
……
Today's New York is shrouded in sunshine, and every living creature exudes a vibrant spirit full of life.
Edward drove Meng Xiaohao to their destination......
"You're so daring!"
Edward looked in the car's rearview mirror at the large box in the back seat.
"I don't think it's okay, but if something happens, won't you be cold!"
Meng Xiaohao listened to Edward's words and shrugged his shoulders......
"So, there are a lot of bodyguards behind me!"
As he spoke, Meng Xiaohao used the rearview mirror to look at several black jeeps that had followed them all the way.
"I think I've done it all right, and there should be no problem!"
Hearing this, Edward sighed helplessly, "Okay, I hope it's as you think, it's okay!" ”
Meng Xiaohao smiled "grin", "Believe me, nothing will happen." ”
But Edward's face was still full of worry, and he looked at the big box in the car again.
"It's something that the people of New York have been thinking about for half a century, so I have to be careful."
Meng Xiaohao looked at Edward's seriousness, smiled helplessly, ignored him, and looked out the window by himself.
……
Edward drove to his destination......
A very ordinary cemetery.
Meng Xiaohao walked down, and several black jeeps followed by also stopped, and several people in black got out of the car.
Meng Xiaohao took the box from the back seat of the car, took down a large bouquet, and walked into the cemetery.
The cemetery is very large, and many deceased people are buried here, which is also a very famous cemetery in New York, and the price of a cemetery is quite reasonable.
Meng Xiaohao walked around in the cemetery and came to a tomb that looked like a new tomb, and there was a large bouquet of flowers that had not yet withered next to the tomb.
It seems that not long ago, someone came to see the owner of this tomb.
Meng Xiaohao put the flower in front of the tomb, looked at the name on the tombstone, and smiled slightly......
"Old friend, I've come to see you!"
The tombstone of the tomb in front of Meng Xiaohao was engraved with Rivers' name.
……
Meng Xiaohao squatted down and touched the name on the tombstone, his eyes were full of sadness.
"Old friend, I've come to see you, the season is over, and I can relax."
"I still remember that after you were eliminated that year, you had an agreement with me, you said that if I won the championship trophy, I must give you a kiss, you said that you didn't win the college league championship, and I wanted me to take the North American League championship trophy for you to kiss to compensate you!"
Speaking of which, Meng Xiaohao opened the box......
Inside is the championship trophy of the North American League and the trophy of Meng Xiaohao's FMVP.
Meng Xiaohao placed the two trophies in front of Rivers' tombstone and laughed twice.
"Look, I've got you the championship trophy!"
Meng Xiaohao looked at Rivers' trophy and smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile......
"I agreed to your request, I got the championship trophy, and the FMVP trophy, I took them all, I fulfilled the promise at that time!"
Suddenly, Meng Xiaohao choked up......
"But what about you?"
Meng Xiaohao covered his eyes with his hand and took a deep breath.
"Tell me about you, you talk about you, you agreed with me to kiss my championship trophy, but now? Why did you go first? Why are you so irresponsible, why don't you even say hello! ”
Meng Xiaohao's voice was already a little trembling.
"You know what? There are some things I don't think I can say at your funeral because I didn't win the championship and I'm not qualified to talk to you! ”
"But I'm qualified now, I've won the championship, I've won the first championship trophy for the Fortune Players, I'm qualified to talk to you!"
"But what? Even if it does, what will happen? You'll never hear it! ”
"You are a great player, a good friend, and a good senior, you have helped me a lot, really, thank you!"
Tears had already flowed out of Meng Xiaohao's eyes.
It took Meng Xiaohao a long time to accept the fact that Rivers had passed away, and he didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.
He had fallen into endless self-reproach for not keeping his promise to Rivers.
It wasn't until this moment that his depressed mood was truly released.
Meng Xiaohao squatted on the ground and cried......
When he was in college, because of his own injury, the team lost the game and was finally eliminated, which also shattered Rivers' dream of winning college basketball.
Now, he hated himself, he hated himself for why he couldn't have gotten to the championship sooner, why he couldn't have let Rivers touch that championship trophy before God took Rivers.
Meng Xiaohao hated himself, he hated himself very much.
Edward stood beside Meng Xiaohao, he watched Meng Xiaohao squatting on the ground, crying like a child, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Meng Xiaohao.
As Meng Xiaohao's agent, he naturally knew the pressure Meng Xiaohao was carrying.
Rivers' incident raised the pressure in Meng Xiaohao's heart to another level.
That pressure did not come from doubts from the outside world, but from Meng Xiaohao's own heart.
The torture from Meng Xiaohao's own heart is the torture from the heart.
Meng Xiaohao withstood the pressure, he didn't let the pressure crush, he won the championship as he wished.
However, when that pressure is relieved, all that remains is grievances and sadness.
So Edward can especially understand why Meng Xiaohao cried like a tearful person.
He didn't comfort Meng Xiaohao, he just looked at Meng Xiaohao quietly, he knew that these tears might not only feel sorry for Rivers, but also a release of his heart.
Some pressures will only be truly released after crying.
