Looking up, the sky is full of stars.
The dots of light are not dazzling, the soft and round halo is like pebbles in a clear stream, flowing in the velvet-textured sky, the countless faint lights make people completely forget the "counting" action , just immersed in it.
Hula la.
A gust of wind blows, and in an instant, it seems that all the stars in the world are falling down. I stretch out my right hand involuntarily, as if I have returned to my childhood, innocently believing that as long as I stand on tiptoe high enough, I can touch the stars. Feel the temperature of the stars with your fingertips.
In a trance, the goosebumps on the surface of the skin caused the reason to return to my mind, and then I realized my childishness, but I was not shy or restrained, I was just deeply immersed in this brilliance , temporarily forget all the troubles completely, and simply enjoy the moment.
"Gao Wen, what are you worried about?"
Macdonald turned his head to look at his friend, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked with concern, but Gao Wen didn't understand why, so he looked back in confusion. Macdonald thought about it and organized his words.
"You seem to...have a sense of urgency, every time you train. Of course, it's not that it's bad, and it's a good thing to train with all your strength, but...but, it's too much, you know? I just think, You seem to be worried about something and want to catch something."
After speaking, MacDonald was a little worried again, worried that he had said something wrong and violated Gao Wen's privacy, so he quickly apologized.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to criticize you..."
Gao Wen chuckled, "I know, Mike from Canada."
A joke made MacDonald laugh, and his reserved expression relaxed a little.
Gao Wen thought about it seriously, and then revealed a shallow smile, with a bit of bitterness, "Maybe, maybe I do have a sense of urgency, I just..."
Letting out a long breath, Gawain turned his head to look at MacDonald, his eyes were so bright in the night.
"I just want to cherish every day I stand on the court, because none of us can be sure what will happen in the future: whether we will become professional players, or we will say goodbye to tennis after graduation, or because of a sudden attack. Injuries can change the course of a life.”
"Mike, competitive sports are glamorous, but they can also be brutal."
Gao Wen, you are serious.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, tomorrow, February 15th, the Bruins will play an away game against the University of Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma.
At that time, Gao Wen, who will be the sixth singles player, will appear in the game. Then in the game, Gao Wen accidentally sprained his knee while trying to save the ball. The pain was unbearable. After being diagnosed by the team doctor, Gao Wen was forced to retire—losing the game Afterwards, the Bruins lost another game, and finally lost to their opponents with a score of "3:4", ushering in their first defeat of the season.
At the same time, Gao Wen went to the hospital to take an MRI, and later confirmed that the knee ligament was slightly torn, which also became a turning point in his entire career.

As he said, with one injury, he and McDonald took very different trajectories in life.
Everything will happen tomorrow.
Since his rebirth, Gawain himself hadn't noticed it, but the day "February 15th" was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, oppressing himself all the time, permeating into his daily training and life bit by bit. all aspects.
Once again, will he repeat the same mistakes?
Maybe maybe not, Gawain has no answer, but the only thing Gawain can be sure of is that he will not escape, he will not let the shadow of his previous life trap his steps, he finally won a second chance, he refuses to stay He regrets and refuses to regret, he must bravely face the difficulties.
Macdonald looked at his friend in front of him with a smile on his face and clear eyes. Although there was a bit of bitterness and helplessness, the vitality was shining in the depths of his eyes, which made Macdonald sigh and become excited.
"Mike, do you believe in dreams?"
Gao Wen spoke, but did not wait for Macdonald's answer, and continued.
"I want to believe that, just like Rudy, it doesn't matter if you are treated as a fool."
"Every day, when I'm on the court, I want to cherish every minute, give it my all, and hold on to the moment in front of me."
Daniel-'Rudy'-Ruettiger (Daniel-'Rudy'-Ruettiger), an ordinary teenager with no height, weight and talent, but dreams of becoming a player for the University of Notre Dame, a traditional NCAA football school, is almost An impossible dream, even his family and friends laughed at him.
However, after three years of hard work, Rudy became a sparring partner for the University of Notre Dame football team—unable to play the game or even count as a sparring partner officially established by the team, but he persisted, just for the future , to be able to stand on the court wearing a University of Notre Dame jersey.

After the game, the teammates lifted Rudy off the court. It was 1975. Since then, no player has been able to enjoy such treatment.
In Rudy, there is a kind of silly courage, the courage of being ridiculed, despised and cast aside by people, just like a fool, but it is precisely this kind of courage that makes Rudy's life shine with unparalleled light.

But the real reality is that Rudy's family was originally just blue-collar workers in a steel factory, passed down from generation to generation, but because of Rudy's success, the family's views have been changed. Later, with Rudy's encouragement and support, his younger brother All the younger sisters were admitted to college, which changed their lives.
