You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 775 Mass
There is a passage in "A Man Called Ove": Death is a strange thing, and people spend their lives pretending that it doesn't exist, even though it is one of life's greatest motives.Some of us have enough time to know death, they can live harder, more persistent, more heroic.Some people don't realize how beautiful its opposite is until it really gets close.Others were so bothered by it that they sat in waiting rooms long before it was announced.We fear it, but we fear it even more when it happens to those around us.The greatest fear of death is that it passes us by and leaves us alone.

That night, Wei Xia was very quiet, his tears did not burst, his emotions did not explode, and he stayed in the ward in silence for a long time.

"Philip, you still have a game." My sister walked in and said, "Leave it to us here."

"Yup."

Wei Xia broke the silence.

"I still have games."

He mumbled to himself, and then, went outside to spend a few hours with his family before leaving.

He hasn't bought his plane ticket yet, no, he hasn't even had breakfast and lunch yet.

He felt extremely tired, even though he slept for five hours on the plane, but he was very tired.

He was too tired to mourn his grandfather's death.

He just wanted to find a place to have a big meal now, so he went to the place where Wayne took him most often when he was a child-Sam Cafeteria.

In the 90s, minors could eat all they could eat here for $5.

Wei Xia ate so much that he couldn't fall asleep every time.

Now he should refuse these foods.Every food here is a dietary violation for him, but today he looks like a serial killer without logic.

Why did all kinds of serial killers appear in the United States in the last century to scare children?Because they do exist, and it's hard for the police to find them.This kind of person chooses the victim based on their mood, which is illogical.

Wei Xia did the same with the buffet tonight, eating and tasting everything.

What he liked to eat when he was a child, what his grandfather liked to eat, and what he didn't like, he tried them all.

He ate until he couldn't eat.

When checking out, the waiter asked in disbelief, "Are you Wish?"

"Many people say that." Wei Xia tactfully denied.

Although unbelievable, this trick is very effective.

Because no waiter believed Wish would pop up to eat at a cheap cafeteria in Boston.

Wei Xia went out while rubbing his stomach, which was full of junk food. This situation seemed to ease his mood.

He hailed another taxi and headed to the airport.

This time he was flying straight back to Philadelphia.

San Antonio's away game has been played, and the next game is at home.

Because the format of the finals has changed this year.

原本是2-3-2的赛制，现在改成了2-2-1-1-1。

If they play seven games, players will have to fly two more planes, but this arrangement of the game system is the fairest for both the front and back teams.

Although the Wei family kept secret and tried their best to minimize the impact of the news of Wayne's death on Wei Xia, he was Wei Xia's grandfather after all.

Moreover, the hospital is crowded with people, and it is impossible to block the news.

The first to break the news was well-known Yahoo Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski.

He didn't know where he got the news of Wayne's death, and advertised it on his Twitter.

So the whole world knew about the funeral of the Wei family.

The text message congratulating Wei Xia for mastering the match point was quickly overwhelmed by the text message of condolences.

Before the fifth game of the finals, the last thing Wei Xia needed was to be distracted by these things, but the existence of these text messages reminded him of what happened time and time again.

Wei Xia found out what happened after going online, and he was not surprised to learn that it was WOJ who broke the news.

It would be weird if it wasn't for him.

In the Internet age, the speed of information dissemination far exceeds that of paper media.

Guys like WOJ with wild paths and many channels, they can get the news first before 99.99999% of the people in the world.

But Wei Xia can be sure that there is no WOJ source around him, so it can only be the news leaked by the hospital.

It is impossible for him to ask the crime hospital. There are too many people in that place. There are not a few people who know the relationship between Wayne and Wei Xia. As long as one person has the heart, he can break the news.

Wei Xia didn't want this incident to stir up trouble, he didn't need others to make him mourn, and he didn't need others to verbally "Wish, I'm very sorry".He doesn't need it, he just needs everyone to go on as usual, he just needs to temporarily put aside this matter, and devote himself to the fifth game.

But now, he can't do it, and everyone is reminding him what happened.

Looking at WOJ's name, Wei Xia secretly made up his mind that from today onwards, he will never let WOJ get any information about him again.Even if he got it, it's still fake, and he will make a clarification as soon as WOJ self-righteously broke the news.

Another day has passed, Wei Xia missed yesterday's training session due to well-known reasons.

The time came to Sunday, June 2014, 6.

Today is not only Sunday, but also the fifth game day of the finals.

The 3ers, who already lead the Spurs 1-76, have the opportunity to end the series at home.

After Wei Xia washed up, he walked to the dining room, and Elaine had already prepared breakfast.

Wei Xia has no expectations for the taste, what is certain is that it is absolutely healthy and complies with the strict norms of dietary regulations.

He ate with confidence.

"Come to church with me after dinner," Elaine said.

As an atheist, Wesha asked: "What?"

"Have a mass and let your mind relax." Elaine said, "Tonight's game is critical, don't give the Spurs any chance."

Wei Xia was not sure if it would be useful for him to go to Mass as a non-believer.

He had watched Kobe do it back then, and he knew the process. Apart from time-consuming, there was nothing complicated.Wei Xia has no other arrangements today, so he agreed.

After breakfast, Wei Xia wondered if it would be useful for him to do mass.

Well, you can't have breakfast at Mass, right?He's not sure.

Wesha and Elaine went to a church not far from home, where they met someone—Kobe's mother, Pamela Bryant.

Wei Xia didn't come forward to say hello, because when he first came to the Lakers, Kobe had already fallen out with his family. Over the years, the relationship has gone back and forth, and it has dropped to freezing point at this time.

Wei Xia saw Pamela's photo at Kobe's house, so he recognized it.

He didn't come forward to say hello, which was strange, and for Pamela, who was heartbroken by Kobe, "Hi, I'm Kobe's former teammate" opening line, it would be better not to say.

Vescia and Elaine went to Mass together.

Nothing unusual happened. After finishing the work, Wei Xia's mood did not change. It was the same as it was before, and it is still the same now.

Elaine asked him how he felt, and he said it was fine.

In fact, he knew that it was useless, there was still fatigue in his body, and the news of his grandfather's death still made him sad.

But he's a mature man, and he'll keep things under wraps.

He wouldn't let the contents of the black box leak out until the right time came.
