Chapter 1159: 1158 right in the bullseye
“Li Wei!”
From behind, a call ca, clear and bright, falling like a ray of sunlight amidst the bustling crowds at the airport.
The noise, the clamor, seed to quiet down in an instant.
Li Wei reflexively stopped and turned around, instantly spotting Thalia standing there, poised and graceful, her smile blossoming, eyes filled with youthful energy and vitality.
His heart pounded against his eardrums.
Just as Li Wei was about to ask what was going on, Thalia spoke first.
“I like you.”
She said.
Like a smooth pebble plopping into a green lake, splashing water, ripples spread out in circles.
For a brief mont, ti seed to pause.
Thalia’s smile widened, satisfied with Li Wei’s stunned expression, that brilliance blooming in the sunlight.
No shyness, no restraint, instead, a kind of calmness.
Thalia raised her right hand and waved.
“Goodbye, good luck at the London Bowl.”
Then, without stopping, Thalia turned and sprinted in another direction.
The cream lace skirt danced freely with her strides, sweeping through the crowd, the world briefly brightened by the fluttering skirt, brighter and brighter, like sunlight pouring over the ocean; then dimming again as the skirt gradually disappeared in the sea of people, until it vanished, the world resud its usual state.
Inexplicably, a sense of loss erged, searching vainly among the crowd.
Yet found nothing, sothing seed missing inside.
Before he could think, a chorus of teasing voices reached his ears.
“Li Wei. Li Wei. Li Wei.”
Not cheering, not shouting, but a low rumble deep in the throat, the bass sunk to the cavern floor, maintaining airport order, yet stirring ripples in the lake of his heart, waves increasingly tumultuous.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.
Hill, Sorensen, one by one, ca excitedly to bump shoulders with Li Wei, winking, conveying their jest and mockery.
Even Mahos joined in the fun, chanting with extra joy.
Faced with such a scene, Li Wei seed slightly helpless, yet did not resist, but opened his arms with an air of calm, inviting the storm to co more fiercely, further inciting the players’ excitent.
Laughter and noise, a lively scene.
The reporters missed Thalia’s little episode, only seeing the Kansas City Chiefs united in strong determination.
Thus.
“Kansas City Chiefs’ morale is high, determined to win.”
“Mahos returns, facing many challenges, but the defending champions are ready.”
“United in spirit, high morale, Kansas City Chiefs proudly embrace their first overseas ga.”
Clamor, excitent, a vibrant scene.
However, amid the Kansas City Chiefs players’ rambunctious banter and teasing, Mahos noticed Li Wei’s unusual deanor.
Finally, as the plane prepared to take off, the players obediently took their seats and fastened their seat belts, the area around Li Wei finally quieted down.
Mahos sat obediently to Li Wei’s right, yet like a restless child, constantly fidgeting with an expression of hesitance, prompting Li Wei to interrupt his thoughts and notice the anomaly.
“Sherlock, what’s wrong?” Li Wei asked slightly helplessly.
Mahos widened his eyes, “Nothing, nothing’s wrong here.”
Li Wei chuckled softly, “Are you sure? Because you look like there’s a flea on your seat. If there is, you should tell , I’m their spokesperson, I can apply for compensation.”
Mahos finally understood Li Wei was joking, he relaxed slightly, “I was just worried about you, but now you have the mind to joke, that ans nothing’s wrong. Phew, I can relax now.”
“So, are you okay?”
Even so, Mahos still asked.
Li Wei shrugged, “I’m fine, of course, I’m fine. Do I look like I’m not?”
Mahos nodded, “Yeah.”
Such directness left Li Wei montarily speechless, chuckling softly.
Mahos, “Rookie, we’ve known each other for two and a half, soon three years. We train together every day, play matches together every day. I see you more than Brittany, I know your expressions, you seem sowhat distracted.”
“We’re heading to the London Bowl facing nurous difficulties, the ga will be very tough. I need my partner, my captain to stay focused, otherwise this match might be even harder.”
“So…”
“Is it because of Thalia’s confession?”
Li Wei chuckled softly, “How long have you known her, and you already know her na?”
Mahos imdiately raised his hands in a surrender pose, “I’m innocent, really.” The gesture almost made Li Wei burst into laughter.
Mahos chuckled twice, spending ti with Li Wei, Kelsey, and the others, he learned to play pranks too, with quite a high success rate.
“Thalia is a good girl, surrounded by Travis and the others, yet not a bit intimidated, instantly making us like her.”
“You know how difficult that is.”
“Brittany ca to the team many tis, but still didn’t get along with the players, do you know how troubled I am stuck in the middle?”
Li Wei thought seriously, “Brittany… she can be very aggressive, she still thinks Travis and I are bad people, right?”
Mahos scratched his head without saying anything, a shy and restrained smile on his face.
Li Wei directly burst into laughter, patting Mahos’ shoulder.
Mahos looked at Li Wei, “Are you worried about Ariana?”
Li Wei shook his head, “No, we’re just friends.”
“Then Lilith?”
“We’re just friends too. Hey, Sherlock, I know you don’t believe in friendships between n and won, but I truly believe friendship exists between opposite genders.”
Mahos nodded sincerely, “I know, I believe it too, you and Brittany are just friends.”
Li Wei chuckled, “Thank you, thank Brittany for considering a friend.”
Mahos imdiately caught Li Wei’s playful and sarcastic tone, yet he didn’t mind at all, sotis even wondering who would win if Brittany and Li Wei had a face-off?
But now the focus wasn’t on Brittany.
“What about Thalia?” Mahos asked again.
Li Wei hesitated, “Friends.” After a pause, he added, “At least until today.”
Mahos instantly sensed the hidden implication and complexity in Li Wei’s words, “You’re wavering.”
One sentence, right on target.
Li Wei didn’t refute.
Mahos knew his guess was right.
No wonder Li Wei seed indeed sowhat distracted, the whole week’s preparation for the London Bowl was slightly disrupted.
All along, Li Wei played the role of team leader, making them forget, Li Wei was also just an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
Moreover, Li Wei was the sa age as Mahos, both just graduated from university not long before entering society.
No matter how mature, stable, or smart Li Wei was, he has his own troubles.
