Chapter 18: Trophies
Shu Xin's refusal made Feng Xiujie feel a deep sense of disappointment and frustration.
He could sense that the other party had no interest in him at all.
It made him wonder if he should go ahead or not.
Youth is always confused, not only in life, but also in personal feelings.
Swaying on the central axis of positive and negative, just like the autumn in this Shuangqing city, the temperature is capricious, sometimes hot, sometimes cool.
……
After Deng Hongfei experienced the first professional unified examination after entering the school, he took advantage of the weekend to go home.
After Deng Zhilong passed the onset of the disease, he had gone through the procedures and returned home to recuperate.
He just needs to take his medicine on time and go to the hospital for dialysis regularly......
It is certainly impossible to continue working.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the man sitting in a chair reading the newspaper.
The man's temples were white, Erlang's legs were crossed, facing the river outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the hand holding the newspaper did not make a move to flip through it.
I don't know if I'm in a daze or if I'm looking too seriously.
"Dad."
Deng Hongfei said hello, changed his shoes and walked to his father's side.
Deng Zhilong came back to his senses when he heard this, put the newspaper aside, and said with a smile: "Are you back?" ”
"Hmm."
Deng Hongfei saw Deng Zhilong's obviously thin, slightly pale face, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't forget the day he came back and saw his father, who was alive and well in the past, lying on the hospital bed full of dialysis tubes, through the small window of the ward.
That was the first time he had smelled the smell of life and death.
"What's wrong, aren't you too emotional?"
Deng Zhilong saw his son's worried expression and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
He stretched out a warm and thick hand and patted Deng Hongfei's waist, "By the way, how are you recovering from your injuries?" ”
Deng Hongfei pulled a stool and sat down, "It's almost over, and now there is no problem walking." ”
After he finished speaking, he smiled and kicked his legs, signaling that he was fine.
Seeing this, Deng Zhilong smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "It's just a pity, your knee injury shouldn't be able to support you to compete in the professional league, if it's still possible, I still hope that you want to take the path you like to take." ”
"I also disagree with some of your mother's decisions, but in the current situation, there is really no way."
Deng Zhilong sighed, "Maybe her thoughts are more rational than those of our two old men." ”
Speaking of this, he changed his words, "By the way, Xiaofei, do you know why I gave you this name in the first place?" ”
Deng Hongfei shook his head.
"Because...... I want you to soar into the sky and fly higher like that bird. ”
"I hope you can follow the path you like, I work hard to create such good conditions, just so that you have no worries and can quietly pursue your dreams."
Deng Zhilong's eyes were distant and full of his father's love for his son, "It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, it seems that our father and son are destined to not be able to embark on the path of their beloved." ”
"Your beloved path?" Deng Hongfei was a little puzzled, he could hear another layer of meaning implied in his father's words.
"Yes, when I was young, I also dreamed of being a soldier and dreaming of being a general, but, haha."
Deng Zhilong pointed to his eyes and shrugged his shoulders helplessly; "I didn't have good eyes since I was a child, and I didn't have the conditions to have surgery at that time, so I didn't deserve it."
"Dreams, what a beautiful thing, even now, I will imagine what I look like in military uniform, this is the biggest dream of my life."
Deng Hongfei thought thoughtfully, "Then do you regret it now?" ”
"Regrets?" Deng Zhilong smiled wistfully, "Of course I regret it, but people are like this many times, reality does not allow it, I have to give up, and it is useless to regret it." ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Deng Hongfei's heart had already fallen into thought.
He wanted to tell his father that he wanted to play basketball.
During this time, he has been forcing himself to accept reality in his heart, but ......
Every time he passed the basketball court under the dormitory building, he would trigger a throbbing in his heart for no reason.
Deng Zhilong suddenly became extremely serious, "So I don't want you to have such regrets as me, when you are eighty years old, you will regret that you have finished this life in a way you don't like." ”
"So you have liked to play since you were a child, I will hire the best coach for you, let you receive the best nutritional supplements, and do everything I can to let you do what you like, if you didn't suffer a devastating injury this time, I wouldn't have promised you to return to China what your mother said."
The words were like a flash torrent that erupted, surging into Deng Hongfei's ear canal and reaching the atrium.
The force of the impact destroyed the forcibly erected levee in an instant.
Deng Hongfei opened his mouth, "Dad, I ......"
"What's wrong?"
Deng Zhilong turned his head and looked at his son with a smile, "If you have something to say, don't hide it, let's two old men, what can't you say directly?" ”
"I want to play."
Deng Hongfei shouted desperately in his heart.
But what he says is, "How are you feeling physically?" ”
"My body, my body is much better." Deng Zhilong shook his two arms with a big grin, indicating that he was in good shape, and he patted his son's shoulder: "Okay, don't worry about me." ”
"Now that your uncle is in charge of the company, you just need to study hard, and wait until you graduate and directly enter the company for an internship for a period of time before you can take over my work."
"How's it going, have you been having a good time at school lately?"
……
The father and son chatted for a long time, from dreams to study to life, and then to the management of the company.
Until late at night, Chen Linna went home, as the second largest shareholder of the company, Deng Zhilong fell She has been very busy recently, holding shareholders' meetings and board of directors every day.
A pile of things on the desk.
So her face was also tired.
Seeing that Deng Hongfei was reading books very seriously at home, she was relieved.
recalled the former from the United States, firstly, because he was worried that he would not be able to think about it, and secondly, because he wanted to be tethered to his side so that it could be easily controlled.
Young people have limited self-control.
Chen Linna was worried that Deng Hongfei was too obsessed with basketball, and sooner or later he would not be able to come out of it and face the reality, wasting time in vain, so she made this decision.
At the beginning, I also had a big dispute with my husband.
Fortunately, now that her son is more sensible than she imagined, she is a little more at ease.
It's late at night.
Deng Hongfei finished reading the last chapter, and after washing up, he was ready to go to bed.
Suddenly, I casually glanced at several trophies on the bookcase next to me.
The whole person was stunned.
It's a variety of awards he won while playing in the United States, including Gatorade's All-American High School Player of the Year, McDonald's All-America High School Player of the Year award, and even Naismith's All-American High School Player of the Year nomination......
The last award is extremely heavy, and few people of the yellow race are interested.
These trophies carry on his past glory and prove his superhuman basketball talent.
Looking at it, Deng Hongfei was stunned for a while......
