34 Forever together
Peve ...... Keko, I'm in the taxi, and I'll be at your door soon. Would you like to see me? ”
Ah Hua's call in the afternoon was confusing, but I went downstairs anyway. Yesterday my sister stayed with me at home until ten o'clock, and we both snuggled up on the couch and watched a movie that I didn't want to watch at all. But as soon as she left, I was empty. I didn't dare to contact Miller today, so I could only wait, waiting for the evening to come soon. The clock moves minute by minute, slow as sand falling from an hourglass. Time is always like this, running fast when you want to be slow, wanting to be fast but not hurrying or slowing. The homework was finished on Friday, and I felt like I had been boiled into a pot of soup by time with nothing to do.
Nine times out of ten, Ah Hua wanted to comfort me. I don't like to be comforted, but it's always nice to have someone who is willing to talk to me. Besides, he's all over to me, and I don't want to push him away again.
"I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of Pu Yun." He led me to a coffee shop, which I never drink, and he ordered me orange juice, "He didn't control himself yesterday." Originally, I didn't celebrate the goal, but I took off my clothes, which is very disrespectful to you. ”
"Nothing like that." I shrugged, "We didn't hold it ourselves." It's time to celebrate. However, why didn't Pu Yun come? ”
"He didn't dare to come. I'm afraid you'll be angry. Ah Hua was also a little helpless, "In fact, stripping is not just for celebration. He made two preparations yesterday. If we lose, he'll take it off. ”
"What do you mean?" I'm even more baffled.
Ah Hua handed over his mobile phone, and I saw a press release, probably prepared by classmates from other schools to make pushes, and there were even pictures, and it was Pu Yun being interviewed. The clothes were not changed, and there were still some grass roots, and the person only washed his face, and the wound was still red.
"Last night, our classmates did a small interview after the game, Pu Yun wanted to take this opportunity to explain to you about the stripping celebration, would you like to take a look?"
I nodded. Ah Hua shared the manuscript with me, and said that if I read it and thought it was okay, they would arrange a push. The manuscript was very long and meticulously recorded, and it took a while to see a third of it. Ah Hua also seemed to realize it, so he said that he asked the interviewer for the recording at that time. So the two of us sat down together and put on a pair of headphones.
"Hello Pu Yun, you are today's hero, with a very wonderful goal to help the school reach the finals again, can you talk about your feelings?"
The interviewer's voice was very calm, but Pu Yun was a little jerky and nervous.
"Is it okay? I was so happy that I wanted to run, and I forgot all of a sudden what I had said before the race. I was a classmate in elementary school with the goalkeeper of No. 1 Middle School, and I had a very, very good relationship, so I wouldn't have celebrated if I had scored a goal, but I broke my promise. Here I would like to apologize to him. ”
"It's a special thing for a friend to become an adversary. Will you want to be merciful just because you're a friend? ”
"Of course not. Otherwise I wouldn't have scored that goal. We are all going all out, 'each for his own master'. But we're still friends off the field, so I hope he doesn't get too angry with me this time. ”
To be honest, I'm not mad at him at all.
"You seem to care a lot about this classmate. Did the two of you grow up together? ”
"Yes, I'm afraid I'll lose him again. We were very good in elementary school, when I was always bullied, and it was he and his brother who protected me, and it was the brothers who taught me to play football. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to play football and I wouldn't have been able to get into the school team outside Jiangwai. These things will never be forgotten for the rest of your life. ”
"I see. That's interesting, they taught you how to play, but your goal today knocked them out......"
"It's just that the big brother was eliminated." Pu Yun interrupted her, "I'm sad, but I can't help it. ”
"Trust your friends to understand you. By the way, you took off your jersey during the celebration, and some classmates noticed a few lines written on your vest, what does it mean? ”
"Bowstring siempre con nosotros. in Spanish, meaning 'always with us'. In the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain vs the Netherlands, Andres Iniesta scored in extra time to help Spain win the World Cup. He took off his shirt to celebrate, and the shirt said Dani Jarque siempre con nosotros, I was imitating and paying tribute to 'Xiaobai'. ”
"A lot of people who love football know this story, but our official account is aimed at a wide range of people, and not everyone knows it, so please talk about it and why you want to pay tribute to this classic celebration."
"Iniesta was there to give the goal and the victory to his friend Dani Halke. The two are rivals on the pitch and good friends in life. Halque was talented, but at the age of 26, he died of a heart attack while calling his family. Football is how Halque is remembered, and Andres Iniesta stripped to celebrate after scoring the winner in the World Cup final, and audiences around the world saw Halque's name and knew that he had never left his partner after his death. He is still alive and well with the Spaniards' football dreams. This story touches me and continues to inspire me. I also want to dedicate the goal to my friends. I know I'm at a bad level and I was terrible today, nothing but that goal. I also know that I run very slowly and learn very slowly. But I also hope that I will have the opportunity to be like Andres Iniesta to fulfill my dreams and those of my friends and to remember his name. So, I had to run hard, keep running, get up as many times as I fell, and never stop. ”
I choked up when I heard Pu Yun's voice, and so did the interviewer.
"Football is warm, it transcends the barriers between life and death. So, Pu Yun, would you like to tell us the story of you and your friends? I believe that every player in Jiangwai, everyone who likes football, or everyone who loves life will be willing to listen. We'll all remember your friend's name. ”
There was a sound of blowing their noses, and it was a long time before they continued their conversation.
"Actually, after the game, I felt very uncomfortable and ironic when I came out of that excitement. So you saw me crying for a long time after the game, like we were eliminated. My friend was gone two years ago. He's got good results, he's got great skills, and he's always been my goal. I myself have very poor physical fitness, I am very short, I have no coordination at all, and I am bullied every day. He was the one who helped me, guided me, and made me understand that no one could just look down on me. When I knew I would never see him again, I felt like the sky was falling, and there was no point in living in this world. I've been sad for a long time, and I don't want to go to school anymore. Later, my parents told me that he would be sad if he knew what I looked like. I should cheer up, learn from his spirit and qualities, and realize his dreams that he failed to achieve. Ah Hua said the same thing to me. So, after he was gone, I continued to play and worked hard day and night to keep up with him. Aside from my parents, he is the most important person in my life. I really hope he lives and sees me score that goal. I really tried hard and didn't let him down this time. ”
"I believe he will see it in heaven. You are our hero. But why is that you just said that it feels ironic? ”
"That's why I wanted to come for an interview. I'd like to have a chance to explain. I think it's ironic because I scored this goal to achieve my own dreams, but at the same time it meant ruining other people's dreams. My best friend is the younger brother of the goalkeeper of No. 1 Middle School. So you get the idea, right? We must both be working towards the same goal, but yesterday we could only leave one person behind. I want to fulfill my friend's dream, which means knocking out his brother in the ring. He loved his brother very much. So, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my eldest brother. I don't mean anything else, and I know you're going to be upset about it. But I saw your performance in those two games, very, very good, who made it to the final was well deserved, but my luck was a little bit better. Big brother, before I went to junior high school, I thought you would never play football again, and I would never even get a chance to see you again. But when I saw you calmly directing the defence on the pitch and making incredible saves, I believe you were exactly what I had in mind. We are all working hard for Brother Xian. Let's inherit his dream together, he has not left us, he will always be with us. Actually, I made two preparations yesterday. If I had won, I didn't want to celebrate, but to comfort you and tell you that I would move on with your dreams. If you lose, I will come to congratulate you and show you the words on that little vest, telling you that I have never forgotten your brother, and I will never forget it, and I hope you will get the championship in your hands, for him and for me. You really mean to me. Brother Xian is gone, I always hope you can cheer up and be like him......"
Without the video, I don't know how Pu Yun was interviewed. But perhaps his gaze gradually moved from the interviewer to me, talking to me, hoping that I could give him a little encouragement and blessing. I was trembling, and a strong, vertigo feeling of nausea filled my brain. A message popped up above Shi Zhenhua's mobile phone, and he hurriedly swiped it, but I saw it, it was sent by Pu Yun.
"Ah Hua, I heard her say you want a recording? Just listen to it yourself, don't tell it to your big brother. Just look at the text collation version, I said something that I can't say in the later part......"
Ah Hua wanted to turn off the recording, but I glared at him with a look that could freeze people. His hand froze in the air and I grabbed him.
"I believe that student from No. 1 Middle School can understand your feelings. I was also very sad to hear this story. You two must be much sadder than an outsider like me. I'd like to ask again - this won't be written into the feed. It is...... How did your friend go? Also like Halke, heart disease? ”
"It's not." Pu Yun, who was still sobbing just now, suddenly became manic, "I don't know the specifics. You know that something will happen to him that day, and I must have pestered him to the death and not let him out. Maybe if I rely on him for a while, he won't leave. It was an accident, and I just want to say one thing: the person who throws things from the roof deserves death, the sin deserves death, and the whole family should die! What kind of negligence caused death, this is intentional homicide, only sentenced to three years, I ......"
Ah Hua broke free of me, pulled the headphones off, and then patted me, like a child in a big accident carefully testing the temper of his parents. I didn't say a word, but the pale fear and anger rose in my body and flooded my brain. The truth of two years ago is inevitably emerging. I said I wanted to look it up, and then I didn't move, and I flinched. But whether I really wanted to find out or try to avoid it, the terrible past finally found me unexpectedly and fatefully, fluttering its black wings, and landing in front of my eyes.
You okay? Ah Hua shook me slightly, and I hesitantly turned my head to ask him where Pu Yun was. As if he hadn't heard, he was still asking if I was okay.
Lao Tzu is very good. But where the fuck is Pu Yun?
My voice was frighteningly loud, and almost everyone looked back at me and exploded. It's too embarrassing, but I didn't care at all, and still urged Ah Hua, almost commanding, to ask him to take me to Pu Yun. Maybe I'm too scared.
