Back in the game, I'm still the big devil

"...Roy, a road cyclist known as the 'Tour de France King', suffered a malicious foul and suffered serious head injuries. His life and death are uncertain."

"The vast majority of drivers participating in this Tournament, led by Arthur Wilson, jointly lodged a protest with the FIA, demanding that the perpetrators be severely punished."

"...the perpetrator of Roy's serious injury has been sentenced to a life ban from ever returning to road cycling..."

"The perpetrator got a suspension, but the victim is still in a coma..."

"Authoritative medical institutions said: Roy is likely to fall into a coma forever and will never wake up again."

"Roy's team said: We may have lost the most talented road cyclist in the world."

"The International Drivers Federation set up a medical fund for Roy to cover the high costs of keeping him alive."

"Roy's old rival, Arthur Wilson, donated a large amount of prize money from participating in various competitions in recent years-Wilson has always been keen on public welfare, and he has kept these prize money in a trust for future public welfare when he retires Start-up funding for the project.”

"But now, Wilson, who witnessed Roy's injury, donated all the funds of this trust to his old rival without hesitation. In the past ten years, Wilson and Roy have been in different teams, and they are tit-for-tat competitors..."

Arthur quickly flipped through the industry news pushed on his mobile phone.

Every message is about Roy.

But none of them was good news that could comfort him a little.

"Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wilson."

Outside Roy's intensive care unit, the attending physician found Arthur.

"Excuse me, we can't bring you any good news today."

Arthur shook his head and said calmly, "I'm a very practical person. Just tell me the truth."

Facing Arthur, the attending physician was actually rather surprised:

After Roy's accident, what cared most about Roy was not Roy's parents, nor Roy's team and teammates, but this opponent who seemed to be "tit for tat" with Roy throughout his career.

"Roy's condition has completely stabilized, but the bad news is that we don't have any means to wake him up."

Arthur frowned.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I hope you understand that even modern medicine has its limits."

Arthur has always been reticent, so he only asked one sentence at this time:

"How can Roy wake up?"

For some reason, the attending doctor felt a little moved after hearing this straightforward question.

But he couldn't offer a hopeful answer other than:

"I'm afraid it will take a miracle."

Arthur stood where he was, without speaking for a long time.

Even the doctor standing opposite him could feel an indescribable sadness pouring out slowly.

——Is this the deep friendship that only exists between "opponents"?

"I'll go see him, okay?"

The attending physician nodded hastily, and personally accompanied Arthur to Roy's ward, leaving Arthur there alone. Before leaving, he asked: "If the patient has any abnormalities, please ring the bell to inform us immediately."

The door of the ward closed, and Arthur sat down beside Roy, looking at his "old opponent".

Roy quietly closed his eyes and lay on his back on the sickbed. He was connected to a lot of monitoring equipment, which kept flickering beside him.

The serious accident did not cause much change to Roy's appearance. His face was as beautiful as ever, but it was slightly pale and thin.

But as long as Roy doesn't wake up, Arthur won't be able to see his beautifully shaped eyes open, and he won't be able to see the bright smile in his eyes again.

At this time, the corners of Roy's lips were still slightly raised, as if he was smiling—this reminded Arthur when he saw him: This guy was originally the darling of the media, the most photographed driver, and it was once rumored that he wanted to "crossover" "Rumors in the entertainment industry.

"You guy, are you facing the media even in your dreams, are you preparing to take pictures?"

Arthur couldn't help murmuring.

But what makes Arthur inexplicably relieved is that Roy has never "crossed" to that world of luxury and money.Roy has been involved in road racing his whole life.

For a lifetime, a pair of opponents.

Since the first time he met Roy in the game, Arthur has been silently caring about Roy.

Seventeen years have passed, and after being an opponent for so many years, there may be no one in the world who understands Roy better than Arthur.

He understood Roy's arrogance, and also understood Roy's simplicity.He understands why Roy chooses to ride the field year after year: Roy just loves the game - as much as he does.

"Wake up, I need you."

Arthur reached out and held Roy's hand, trying to feel Roy's temperature.

Having been an opponent with Roy for half his life, he has long been used to having Roy by his side.

Losing time and time again to Roy in the Tour de France, Arthur never gave up - so he got it back again and again in the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta.

The days of failure are tough, but Arthur knows in his heart that as long as Roy is around, he will have a steady stream of motivation to move forward on this road.

Who knew that time would go by so quickly. After so many years, Arthur has already gotten used to Roy, seeing Roy's smiling face, and listening to his words—his understanding of Roy may be better than that of Roy. he knows himself...

But he never confided his "mind" to Roy;

He thought this wonderful "relationship" between the two would last forever.

Until Roy crashes—

As long as Arthur closes his eyes, he can recall that "nightmare" moment.

The crash happened right in front of Arthur's eyes.

He watched it all happen.

At the moment when the tragedy happened, Arthur involuntarily passed Roy's side and crossed the finish line.

He threw his car directly after the finish line, trotting all the way back to the scene of the accident, trying in vain to help rescue... and then several sleepless nights.

Caught off guard, Arthur just lost Roy.

It was hard for him to imagine that he would never see that suave figure on the field again; there would be no goal for him to chase hard...

Arthur couldn't bear it anymore, took Roy's hand, looked sadly at the familiar face on the sickbed, and couldn't help asking loudly:

"Roy, tell me, how can there be a miracle?"

"In the days without you, I'm alone...what do you want me to do?"

Yes, even a mortal enemy who has been fighting for a lifetime, looking back now, is a precious companionship.

Arthur is not a person who is easy to show his emotions. The two sentences he asked loudly in front of Roy are already the limit of Arthur's expression of emotion in this life.

But it was impossible for Roy to hear Arthur's questioning. He was still lying on the sickbed with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes closed——his expression was as quiet as a child's, and the smile on his lips made him look like a I am having a sweet dream.

Arthur felt as if his heart had been twisted so badly that it twisted into twists.

But he held back—it was because of his personality, he would not cry out in fear of pain and laugh when he wanted to cry like Roy did.

So, he approached Roy and whispered in Roy's ear: "If time can be turned back, or there is really another time and space in this world... In short, if God gives me another chance, I will do my best to prevent you from being hurt." things happened.”

"Believe me!"

"Please also, give me a miracle."

He was a little short of breath, but leaned over firmly, and pressed his lips gently on Roy's forehead.

His heart beat suddenly and violently.

It turns out that this is the relationship between "long-time enemies"?

If he had been able to discern this feeling early on... perhaps, he had had a chance to win happiness for himself.

He silently sighed in his heart: Arthur, Arthur...

Proud and stubborn Arthur, cold and ruthless Arthur... so you have today? !

"Whether you wake up or not, Roy, in this world—you are part of my life...you already are."

Arthur unilaterally announced.

He stared down into Roy's face.

He suddenly felt that Roy's beautiful face had changed.

Roy's smile seemed to widen - he seemed to be really having a sweet dream.

Then, Arthur saw Roy's eyelashes trembling slightly.

Arthur thought he was wrong, and quickly reached out to rub his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, Arthur saw the pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes staring at him with a smile.

Arthur was stunned for three seconds before remembering to ring the bell.

The bell rang loudly, and hurried footsteps came from outside the ward: the doctors and nurses rushed over, and when the attending physician entered the room, he asked loudly, "What's wrong with the patient?"

However, in front of Arthur, the patient's appearance was not "abnormal".

The person on the sickbed was very weak and unable to speak, so he could only reluctantly gesture to Arthur——

"Arthur..."

"We..."

"But it's not over yet—"

"...Wait for me to recover!"

Arthur couldn't help but smile: Isn't this his Roy, the Roy he is so familiar with? !

A miracle happened.

(End of the article)

The author has something to say: This episode is not about Roy wearing it back from 17 years ago!

It probably means that two parallel time and space can interact, and the oath Arthur made in this time and space is realized in another time and space.Then his wish in this time and space will be fulfilled.So the protagonists have double happiness in two time and space o(*￣▽￣*)o

This is where the whole story is written.I hope that competitive sports can continue to develop smoothly as soon as possible, and the athletes can bring us more exciting events.
