From afar, Reggie Walker noticed 6 Yiqi's figure at the first time, and his first reaction in his mind was to escape.
He could not determine the specific reason.
Maybe it was because of his stupid impulse that almost hurt the coach; maybe it was because he didn't want to see sympathy in the coach's eyes; maybe it was because he was afraid that the coach would know the troublesome incident that Jimmy was involved in; maybe it was because he didn't want to expose the things that he lived in the slums to the coach... Maybe he was just worried that he would let the coach down-
He doesn't want to let the coach down.
But he couldn't tell the reason, and there was only one voice in his mind roaring: Run! Run! Run! Escape! Turn around and run!
"coach!"
Before Walker could move his footsteps, his young sister shouted happily, which made Walker lower his head reflexively, press his chin against his chest, hiding his expression, just like an ostrich, as if as long as he buried his head in the sand, the coach would not see him.
"Mom! Mom! This is Coach Noah, it is him, it is him who helped Jimmy, it is him who saved Reggie, Mom! He is Coach Noah."
Walker wanted to cover his sister's mouth, but he felt his limbs stiff, like a student who was being punished to stand. His back was against the wall and he didn't dare to move. He could only use his brilliant finger movements to keep giving hints - unfortunately, no one could see it.
Secretly, Walker looked at the corner of his eyes and tried to explore it. Then he saw a big smile on the coach's face. He had never seen the coach's cheerful smile in training. There was a hint of obedience between his eyebrows and eyes. He took the initiative to give his mother a hug, and said, "Ms. Walker."
The coach calls his mother "Ms. Walker". Only in the church can mother receive such respect.
The coach not only did not dislike his mother, but also gave her a hug. Walker lowered his eyes in a little embarrassed manner, covering the chaos deep in his pupils.
6 Yiqi didn't notice Walker's mood surging, he was watching the middle-aged lady in front of him-
Her chubby pear-shaped figure and weight seemed to be no less than Walker, which made her move a little slow. She just stood up from her seat, and her bloated ankles seemed to be protesting; her dark skin was fading due to age, and various spots could be seen, hidden in wrinkles, telling the traces left by time; her messy and dry head was tied up casually like dead grass.
The rough and cracked palms were full of marks of calluses. When slapping 6 Yiqi's shoulders, you could also faintly hear the trivial sound of calluses rubbing against the cotton cloth.
Living in front of me, the lady left so many scars that 6 Yiqi could not accurately determine the other person's age.
"Dian, please call me Diane." Diane Walker's expression was slightly cramped, and his shy smile revealed a hint of tension, but his eyes were still full of enthusiasm and held 6 Yiqi's hands firmly, "Coach, thank you, thank you really."
"I didn't help, I just helped to call 911." 6 Yiqi looked at Diane's eyes seriously. The huge height gap made 6 Yiqi notice that Diane's back was slightly bent, and she could feel the far-reaching impact of years of hard work.
Diane shook her head repeatedly, tears flashing in her eyes, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do..."
6 Yiqi doesn't want the other party to spend too much energy on himself, "How is the injury of the shot just now? Has the situation stabilized?"
"Yes, Jimmy is fine!" The little girl standing next to her answered crisply, and her big eyes flashed back to her spirit.
6 Yiqi gestured to the girl with a smile, and then looked at Diane, "You must be very proud of her, she is a brave girl."
Diane's emotions surged again, nodding repeatedly to show her affirmation, then let go of 6 Yiqi's hands and wiped the tears on her cheeks in a little embarrassed manner.
6 Yiqi turned around and faced the girl, "I'm glad to meet you for the second time. I'm Noah."
"Coretta! Coretta Walker!" the girl replied loudly.
6 Yiqi gave her a thumbs up.
"Sorry, is Jimmy awake? I need to ask Jimmy and Reggie what happened." Ronald, who was standing next to him, never found a suitable opportunity. At this time, he finally caught a gap and immediately stepped forward, and at the same time cast an apologetic look at 6 Yiqi:
“I still have work to finish.”
6 Yiqi responded with a smile, "Since I'm sure it's okay now, I should go back too, and there is still a lot of work waiting at home."
After a few simple greetings with Diane, 6 Yiqi turned around and left.
Standing at the entrance of the hospital, 6 Yiqi was identifying the direction, and the sound of "stepping" footsteps came from behind. 6 Yiqi thought it was the hospital's emergency staff, so he took the initiative to make way to the side, but saw Coretta's petite figure, a fluffy curl shaking up and down like a wire brush.
"Coach!" Coretta came to 6 Yiqi's side, gasping for breath, but couldn't wait to say, "You can't blame Reggie for today's affairs. This is not his fault. You... you won't blame him for this incident, right?"
6 Yiqi was about to answer, but Coretta said more eagerly, "Coach, rugby is everything for Reggie. This is his dream and his chance, the only chance to leave here. He really worked very hard. He knew his talent was limited, but he worked very hard every day. His love for rugby was enough to make anyone lose his beauty. Coach, please, please don't blame Reggie for this."
"He...he..." Coretta was very anxious, but the language organization could not express his emotions accurately, and the same words were the same.
"Korita." 6 Yiqi then made a sound to interrupt the girl's words, then squatted down, keeping her eyes on the same level as the girl, and said sincerely, "I didn't blame Reggie."
Without sweet words, 6 Yiqi just expressed his attitude in the simplest words.
Coretta was a little stunned. They seemed to have never received such fair treatment - because prejudice is a part of their lives. When blacks are associated with guns, there seems to be no other possibility; not to mention that today, she had such an accident. She also thought that her brother's football career might be terminated, but now...
"Tell Reggie, don't be late for training, otherwise I will never be careless." 6 Yiqi said with a smile, then gently patted the girl's arm, stood up, and walked away, and her figure gradually disappeared into the night of Manhattan.
