It is really easy to get lost in the affordable housing in Getafe. Even if Chang Sheng has been here once, he still gets lost this time.
But this time there was a lot of movement. A Getafe bus full of players drove into this neighborhood and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. He was not asked to ask for directions in person, so naturally someone took them to the place.
.
Jonathan's home was definitely not spacious. More than twenty people rushed in at once, and they were so crowded that they couldn't even turn around.
Chang Sheng had to ask all the players to go out and come in again and again, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do anything.
Considering that the children are patients and need adequate rest, each batch of players is only allowed to stay inside for a maximum of one minute.
Therefore, the standard procedure for the players in the penalty area is basically to put down their gifts, say a few words of encouragement and comfort, and then stand on both sides of the bed to let the photographers brought by Mediano take pictures of them.
These photos will be reserved for the child and his family.
Jonathan Mejía seemed very happy to be able to take photos with so many Getafe stars at once, and he forgot about the pain. This may be one of the few happy moments he has had since getting sick.
He really didn't expect that the team would still come after Chang Sheng came to visit him.
For him, this was really a surprise.
Because of chemotherapy, he had lost all his hair, and with a round bald head, he smiled and took photos with everyone.
At this time, Chang Sheng had been chatting with Jonathan's parents in the living room.
He wanted to hear some questions from Jonathan's parents about Jonathan's recent mental condition.
From his parents' mouth, Chang Sheng learned that as soon as he and Avril left, Jonathan returned to silence.
It was as if nothing could attract his attention.
It's obvious that this is a downer.
Even his arrival could only make Jonathan happy for a while, which was only ten minutes. After he left, Jonathan returned to his old self.
Chang Sheng frowned when he heard this, and Avril was right...
"Do you need some financial help..." he asked. There are many cases in China where people cannot be treated because they have no money and can only wait to die.
But obviously, this is not the problem for the Jonathan family.
"It's not a matter of money. The doctor said that there is no hope of treatment for his current condition." When talking about her son's condition, the mother secretly wept beside her, while the father was relatively calm. Perhaps he had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.
.
"We just wanted him to be happy in the last days of his life. My mother asked him what he wanted for his birthday before. But he said he didn't want anything. It turns out he wanted your autograph..."
Chang Sheng has already read the letter written by little Jonathan to his parents.
The parents looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
"Thank you very much for coming." The father thanked Chang Sheng. "Although we all want him to have a happier life in his last days, he is always depressed and seems to have lost interest in continuing to live.
...This gives us a headache. He is only ten years old. But..."
The indifferent father could not continue talking.
The mother was crying beside her.
A ten-year-old child contracted terminal leukemia, which was a huge blow to the family. The prevalence of leukemia in Europe is indeed very high, but the probability is only three to seven per 100,000 people.
But if something like this happens to your own child, no matter how small the probability is, to your parents, it is a 100% probability.
This kind of thing is unacceptable. Their child is only ten years old. He should have a future full of hope. There are many possibilities, but now there is only one possibility left, and that is death.
This topic is too heavy. The father also realizes this, and it is not suitable to talk to guests. Chang Sheng came to visit his son with good intentions, and Chang Sheng cannot be in a worse mood because of this matter. More
What's more, the team still has competition tasks. If the mood of winning is also worsened. If it affects the team's performance...
So he changed the subject.
Chang Sheng did not continue to ask further questions. His child's leukemia was their wound, and he was unwilling to continue to tear at the wound.
The two sides were chatting casually when the last group of players came out.
Chang Sheng nodded to the two parents and it was his turn to go in.
※※※
When Chang Sheng walked into Jonathan's bedroom, he found that Jonathan's room was filled with various gifts given to him by the players - jerseys, footballs, and boots signed by them, as well as those sold in various official stores.
Club peripherals, such as scarves, cups, badges, hats...etc.
This is the second time Chang Sheng has seen this young fan.
Long-term chemotherapy has devastated his body, but today, perhaps because of the arrival of the Getafe players, he is in good spirits, and it is not obvious that he is a child living in despair.
Seeing Chang Sheng walk in, Jonathan's eyes lit up and he struggled to sit up.
Chang Sheng came to Jonathan's window, motioned for him to lie down, and then said to him: "We meet again, are you surprised?"
Jonathan nodded. We had just met the day before yesterday, and it was really surprising to meet again today.
"I brought the team here specifically to thank you, Jonathan." Chang Sheng said with a smile.
Jonathan was stunned: "Thank me?" His young voice sounded hoarse, which may be related to his illness. Although he was in good spirits, his voice sounded haggard.
"Yes, it was your prayers in front of God every day that helped us finally defeat many powerful enemies and successfully upgrade." Chang Sheng said seriously.
But Jonathan Mejia smiled: "Thank you, Chang." His tone was mature, not like a child of about ten years old at all.
He understands the meaning of constant victory. Although he is still young, he can understand the meaning of constant victory.
He knew that this was Chang Sheng comforting him, telling him that his prayers were effective and that the team's upgrade was also due to him.
In fact, it has nothing to do with him at all.
But even though it was a lie to him, Jonathan was now willing to believe it was true.
"Uh. I heard from your parents... you're only about half a month old..." Chang Sheng decided to get straight to the point. He couldn't disturb the child for too long. Even if the players in front of him strictly abide by the one-minute time limit for each batch,
Limit, this is only ** minutes.
"To be precise, it's been ten days." Jonathan Mejia Lewis corrected Chang Sheng.
"Don't be so pessimistic, Jonathan. Maybe they made a mistake and you can live for a long, long time?"
Jonathan Mejia shook his head: "I have long passed the age of dreaming. Chang."
Chang Sheng was amused by his old-fashioned tone and couldn't help laughing.
"Then I'm definitely still at the dreaming age," he said with a smile. "I'm still dreaming a lot, dreaming that I can become the top head coach in the world."
"You can definitely do it. Chang." Jonathan said, and then his tone became low and his mood dropped. "But I have lost the qualification to dream."
Seeing the behavior that should not have appeared on a ten-year-old carefree child, Chang Sheng pursed his lips hard.
As Avril Lavigne said, this child's only wish came true, but he has actually lost the courage to continue living.
People are so strange. When you are full of hope and want to live, even if you are terminally ill, you can often create miracles.
But if you don’t want to live anymore, even if you are healthy, you will decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That's the case with this kid.
Jonathan Mejía Lewis looked more haggard than he had seen two days before Chang Sheng. Although he was in good spirits, this was because many players came to see him today. It could even be said that this was overdrawing his life.
fire.
After they left, the curtains were drawn again. The door was closed tightly, and the room fell into silence and darkness. The fire of life was also shaky and could be extinguished at any time. Everything would develop towards the irreversible ending again.
"Do you believe in miracles, Jonathan?" Chang Sheng suddenly asked after being silent for a while.
"I don't believe it." Jonathan shook his head and answered quickly. His tone was also very calm.
"I believe in miracles." Chang Sheng replied. "You are a Getafe fan, so you must know this very well. When we were in deep economic crisis, the whole world did not believe that we could be promoted, but you believed,
Right?"
Jonathan was speechless. Yes, he believed it.
"Is this a miracle? This is a miracle."
"But we were ranked first in the league before, so it's not incredible to be promoted to the league and win the championship in the end, right, Chang?" Jonathan quickly thought of the reason.
"A season ago, did anyone believe we could be top of the league? So it's a miracle that we're top of the league."
Jonathan didn't know what to say. After all, he was just a ten-year-old child. Of course he couldn't compare to a real adult in terms of eloquence and thinking ability.
"So, Jonathan, do you believe Getafe can win the Copa del Rey?" Chang Sheng asked.
Jonathan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't believe it..."
"But we have been promoted to the First Division."
"Upgrading and the King's Cup...should be different..."
"Why is it different?"
"There are twenty teams in Serie A, but there is only one Copa del Rey champion. So it is more difficult to win the Copa del Rey than to upgrade to the league... And even if Getafe can eliminate Zaragoza and reach the final, the opponent will not
They are all very powerful... No matter whether Barcelona or Mallorca make it to the final, Getafe will not be able to defeat them." It cannot be seen that although Jonathan has been lying in bed, he still knows the outside world very well, said
When talking about Getafe's opponents, he speaks eloquently, but at the same time, only when talking about football is when he talks the most.
"Why are you so sure?" Chang Sheng asked him, crossing his arms.
"Barcelona is a giant, and Mallorca is third in Serie A this season. They are ranked higher than Barcelona. No matter who they are, they are difficult to deal with. So I don't think Getafe can win the King's Cup."
"You're right, Jonathan, our opponents are very strong, very strong. So if Getafe can win the Copa del Rey, it will be a miracle. Don't you believe in miracles? Then I will show you a miracle." Chang Sheng
Said. "If Getafe wins the Copa del Rey, I hope you can live a more optimistic life. Since fate cannot be changed, you can at least change your attitude towards fate. Being happy is just one day, and being unhappy is just one day. Since both
It’s just one day, so why not live every day happily? We can’t change the length of life, but we can change the quality of life. Live every day happily, because you can’t change anything if you’re not happy.”
Finally, Chang Sheng looked at Jonathan Mejia and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring you any gifts this time. Jonathan, not even a signature. Because I don't want to give you another signature as a gift. I
I want to give you hope. Please wait until June 30 with hope. This is longer than the remaining time you said. But I hope you stick to that time, because that day is the King's Cup final.
You will see the birth of a miracle."
When the photographer who was taking pictures inside the house heard what Chang Sheng said, he raised his eyes from the viewfinder of the camera and looked at Chang Sheng in surprise.
Even Mediano next to him looked at Chang Sheng in surprise.
Also surprised was Jonathan Mejia Lewis.
Under the gaze of three surprised eyes, Chang Sheng smiled confidently.
"I mean what I say, Jonathan."
※※※
Chang Sheng took his players and left the little fan's home.
They received a thankless send-off at the door from Jonathan's parents.
On the way back, there was some silence in the bus.
No one said a word.
It's a good thing to see young fans and get exposure from the media.
However, after they all knew that Jonathan might only have ten days to live, many people could no longer play around as usual.
If Jonathan is someone they don't know and have never met, then he is dead. No one will take it seriously.
But after they came into contact with Jonathan, it was considered acquaintance. A person they knew only had ten days left to live, which was not something that people could remain indifferent to.
Chang Sheng also closed his eyes. No one knew what he talked to Jonathan behind closed doors.
During the afternoon training, the atmosphere of being relaxed because of the successful upgrade was gone.
It was replaced by silence.
The coaches who did not go with the team were surprised when they saw this scene, and they were even a little worried.
I'm worried that this depressing atmosphere will affect the team's preparations.
But what surprised them even more was that this did not affect the team's training. In the afternoon training, the players worked harder than in the first half.
Perhaps when many people think of Jonathan, who only has ten days left to live and still has a lot of things to do, they will feel that they are so happy. They should seize their own time and opportunities.
Some people only have ten days, and they still have decades to live, but they are still wasting time here. It is simply a crime.
This feeling of guilt makes them work harder in training.
※※※
When Mediano and the photographer left Jonathan's house, he warned the photographer next to him: "You are not allowed to say what Chang said to Jonathan. I will not let the newspapers report it."
When the photographer heard what Mediano said, he didn't quite understand: "Why? Isn't this a good thing? This is a typical event that reflects Chang's personal charm!"
He really wanted to spread Chang Sheng's glorious deeds widely. To be honest, although he was surprised when he heard Chang Sheng say this, he also felt that Chang Sheng was so handsome at that moment! So
A stunningly handsome image cannot be made public so that more people can share his feelings. He feels like he is walking at night in brocade clothes.
Mediano shook his head and said: "Have you considered how much pressure it will put on him if others know that he often makes bold claims about winning the King's Cup?"
"pressure?"
"Yes, other media will hype up such a stunt, even if you think it is good, how can they let it go? This will bring pressure and trouble to Getafe's preparations. In addition, it will also make their opponents more
Pay attention to them. Originally, more voices in public opinion now think that Getafe will give up the King's Cup. In this case, Getafe will receive much less attention and the pressure will be much less. Then they will win the game by surprise.
...You have already told them, what other secrets do they have?"
After listening to Mediano's explanation, the photographers who were traveling with him also fell silent.
This seems to be the case.
Now everyone thinks that Getafe will give up the Copa del Rey, so opponents will not take them to heart. This is Getafe's opportunity.
If you tell it...
He immediately closed his mouth forcefully to show his determination.
※※※
The next day, "Getafe Local Life" newspaper published a report that Chang Heng led the entire Getafe team to visit Jonathan Mejía Luis.
This act of love that fully reflected the players' love moved many fans.
But everyone was just moved.
No one knows what's behind this.
As expected, Mediano did not write out the conversation between Chang Sheng and little Jonathan.
In this world, except for him and the photojournalist, as well as Jonathan and Chang Sheng, probably no one knows about that incident anymore.
Mediano felt that this was all he could do, and Jonathan didn't seem like someone who would talk nonsense.
I hope this can reduce the pressure on Chang Sheng...

ps, I can’t access the Internet when I wake up early in the morning...
After struggling for a long time, I even called someone from Tietong Company to repair it, only to find out that the problem was on my side... One of the lightning protection guide switches was not turned on... It rained yesterday, and my father-in-law turned off the switch...
I'm really speechless...
Hurry up and send me a monthly ticket to get more updates!..)
