Perry nodded continuously like a bobblehead, fearing that anything less than his maximal speed or gesture might fail to convey his heartfelt agreement.
His small eyes were wide and round, pupils shining with light, his entire face clearly etched with joy and happiness.
Li Wei burst into laughter, “See, being straightforward like Jack makes things so much simpler.”
Perry exaggeratedly exclaimed “Hallelujah,” with his hands clasped together as he looked up at the sky, “Santa Claus, I’ll definitely be a good kid this year!”
With that one sentence, the mood immediately relaxed.
Although the group didn’t exchange glances, the corners of Li Yi’s and Jiang Yin’s mouths couldn’t help but curl up slightly.
The shrewd Perry’s eyes darted left and right, and finally, he reclaimed his usual demeanor, suddenly standing up with his arms raised high, breaking the silence and cheering exuberantly.
“Hey, guys, it’s the Super Bowl, the freaking Super Bowl, come on let’s celebrate!
...
Not only are we going to watch the Super Bowl live, but we’ll also see Li Wei in action on the field!”
“Ooh hoo!”
A cacophony of howls ignited the air, and the atmosphere in the restaurant livened up again, even Li Yi couldn’t suppress the growing anticipation and barely managed to keep his lips from rising into a smile as he struck a serious pose.
Finally!
Li Wei noticed the scene and seized the moment, taking out the number twenty-three jersey from the American League playoffs from his backpack and showing it off in front of everyone.
“Look, I had to put in quite an effort to keep this from Brady; he nearly snatched it right off my hands, that was really something...”
Brady: ???
Perry’s face lit up with surprise, “Finally!
The restaurant can hang up a game jersey signed by Li Wei himself!”
But he didn’t expect that an untimely voice would cut in, dampening the spirit, “If we’re going to hang one, let’s hang the next winning jersey.”
Wait a second, is he implying—
Winning the Super Bowl?
Rustling sound followed as all eyes turned towards the source of the voice, focusing on...
Li Yi.
Li Yi’s face was a picture of justified calm.
But then, just after, he learned from Donald Yee that James Dolan had invited him to watch the basketball game tonight.
Who is James Dolan?
The executive chairman of Madison Square Garden, owner of the NBA New York Knicks and the NHL New York Rangers.
Simply put, a billionaire.
Everything came without warning, and Li Wei was filled with question marks, never having expected Dolan to extend an invitation, hoping he would come to watch the Knicks’ game.
In Donald’s words, “You are now a VIP in New York.”
The New York Knicks’ season hadn’t been great; although attendance at Madison Square Garden wasn’t a problem, the atmosphere at home games was concerning, and their chances of making the playoffs were slim, just like the NFL’s New York Giants, who also needed a morale boost urgently.
Clearly, as the hottest topic in the city recently, Li Wei’s appearance was like Batman’s, capable of injecting vitality into Madison Square Garden.
From the scene in front of him, Li Wei’s entrance had already created the first wave of excitement, and Dolan had played a masterstroke.
But as Li Wei entered Madison Square Garden, he still had questions that weren’t answered.
He had thought he would meet with Dolan and have a friendly conversation with the billionaire, discussing team operations and sharing views.
However, reality was such that he hadn’t seen Dolan from start to finish and was led to the spectator seats instead, sitting in the first row of VIP seats close to the court, in the closest position to enjoy the spectacle of the basketball game—
The players from both teams were warming up.
So, was he purely here to watch the game today?
Could it be?
Suddenly, Li Wei felt as if he were a mascot.
Li Wei was a bit disoriented; compared to football, he knew more basketball players, after all, “Slam Dunk” had caused a craze in Asia, and the NBA had gained countless attentions with the presence of female stars; but gazing at the familiar faces, he still couldn’t remember their names.
Should he go up and greet them?
It was at this moment that a player seemed to notice Li Wei’s confusion and hesitation, finished warming up, and walked over to him.
“Hey, congrats on making it to the Super Bowl!”
Li Wei looked in the direction of the voice, then saw a handsome, boyish face, teeth clad in braces, displaying a set of white teeth, his smile exceptionally bright—
On his body, there wasn’t a New York Knicks jersey, but that of a Golden State Warriors player, the visitors for tonight’s game.
Wait a second, this player, he knew him, his name had a very memorable pronunciation, he was one hundred percent sure he remembered it, it was on the tip of his tongue but couldn’t come out, and in the next second, the greeting came out before his brain could catch up.
“Hey, Kid!”
