Chapter 1191: Chapter 1190: Mutual Understanding
Hamilton and football?
It’s an unimaginable combination.
Although he is the top figure in F1 today, Hamilton rarely shows his interest in other sports. It’s all about racing, racing, racing. The most you might catch him at is a tennis match, and that’s it; Even the football that captures the soul of the British Isles doesn’t seem to grab his attention.
Rather than looking for him at sports events, you might want to head to fashion shows, which might be more effective.
However, tonight Hamilton showed up at Wembley, a rare sight—
And in an exaggerated manner.
A colorful…cloak, Li Wei swore he had only seen in movies worn by Zorro or an Indian Chief, but never in real life.
The square-shaped pullover cloak made the whole body line look robotic, with strangely wide shoulders, making the body proportions seem as surreal as a Dali painting.
But the point was, Hamilton wasn’t tall, only reaching about Li Wei’s chin, and with a slightly thin build, the whole person seed about to be swallowed by the cloak.
Furthermore, matched with a pair of black tight pants, the material hard to distinguish, uncertain whether it was leather or silk, but those heavy black boots seamlessly connected with the pants, at first glance, it seed as if the pants had disappeared, naturally, the visual impact of the cloak was a perfect ten.
As soon as Hamilton made his entrance, all the bustling sights from all directions gathered upon him, even the gaze of the stands at Wembley was no exception.
Yet, basking under those gazes, Hamilton appeared extraordinarily calm and composed, as if completely unaware of the hidden implications within those looks.
This deanor imdiately caught Li Wei’s attention—
In the NFL, Li Wei, with his Asian face, is an anomaly. Wherever he goes, regardless of the reason or whether the attitude is positive or negative, he can easily beco the center of focus without doing anything, just standing there, he can pull in all the hatred.
Naturally, his every move is scrutinized under the spotlighted microscope.
So, his posture, his attitude, becos particularly important.
He needs to show confidence and determination, to let those impending attacks, ubiquitous exclusion, and unveiled discrimination all back off with a sufficiently strong deanor.
Hamilton, should also be the sa.
Li Wei didn’t delve into F1, couldn’t confirm if Hamilton was the first black driver, but he could confirm, even if not the first, he must be among the very few, existing like a panda.
It seems, this is Hamilton’s deanor.
Not hiding himself modestly, not currying favor with others humbly, but in a high-profile, almost provocative manner, announcing his existence to the world—
Whether they like it or not, whether they respect it or not, he is just here, honestly and rightfully, like a thorn in the eye.
Can’t accept it?
Ha ha, that’s your problem, not mine. I refuse to apologize to anyone for my success and glory.
One entrance, one eting, Hamilton has already intensely declared his presence.
Beckham seed long accustod to Hamilton’s eccentric fashion—
Hamilton is always emphasizing, this is fashion; but the fashion world has never acknowledged it.
“Lewis, Li Wei; Li Wei, Lewis.” Beckham proactively acted as the introducer.
Hamilton nodded politely, extended his right hand, staring at Li Wei, “Wonderful ga.”
Li Wei also extended his right hand, shook hands friendly, “Hey, making an entrance and stealing tomorrow’s headlines, while we stand here all sweaty like a bunch of fools, that kind of opening move isn’t too great, is it?”
At first eting, with banter, humor, and teasing, Li Wei broke the social barrier.
Beside stood already laughing out loud, Beckham laughing particularly brilliantly.
But Hamilton just slightly curved his lips, “Fashion, this is called fashion. David doesn’t understand it, that’s fine, but I thought you were a fashionista.”
Li Wei shook his head, “Personality? No problem. Fashion? No, don’t think we are just a bunch of muscle-brained football players with no clue about fashion, daring to wear doesn’t equal wearing it well. As for fashion, hey, we are not professionals.”
Hahaha, hahaha.
A burst of laughter.
Hamilton being teased, it was like being roasted on an open fla.
Yet, Hamilton neither got angry nor annoyed, far from that, he lifted his chin, revealing a touch of appreciation in his eyes.
As Li Wei sized up Hamilton, Hamilton also assessed Li Wei.
As the number one in today’s football world, Li Wei is not only Asian but also a running back, in a sport that prides itself on strength and confrontation, the discrimination and attacks he faces are truly unimaginable; yet Li Wei neither brashly unleashed a full-scale attack nor understatedly concealed himself, displaying a poised and unflustered deanor that showcased charm both in intellect and character.
Unintentionally, he distinguished himself from ordinary, brute beasts.
Though the thods are different, Li Wei and Hamilton, in their ways, are striving for a place.
This is why Hamilton is particularly curious about Li Wei—
At first eting, it indeed didn’t disappoint.
Hamilton revealed a hint of a smile in his eyes, “This is what a man wearing tight pants said.”
Saying this, Hamilton eyed Li Wei’s gear.
Beside, even Beckham couldn’t hold back, “Sorry, I know it might be punched to ask this question here, but I’ve always been really curious why football players all wear tight pants, while soccer, basketball, even rugby do not. I totally don’t get it.”
A probing question finally erged.
But the point is, no one present could answer, all faces blank—
Since they knew the sport, the gear has always been like this, everything is taken for granted, no one questioned the reason, much less doubted it.
Perhaps, there’s one exception: Li Wei.
For a complete outsider, Li Wei raised this protest during the Crimson Tide Storm and got an answer.
“Prevent tackling.”
Li Wei said, not only Hamilton and Beckham, but even Mahos and other players all looked over.
“In our sport, confrontation is the core, we need to engage and escape, to prevent opponents from grabbing onto the jerseys for a leverage point to complete a tackle or takedown, the jerseys are designed this way, it follows the sa logic as wrestling gear.”
Wow!
Everyone suddenly realized.
Li Wei’s gaze ultimately fell on Hamilton, “This is called practicality, not fashion. If we are going to discuss fashion now, sorry, aside from confidence, we have nothing.”
He paused and then continued, “Like you.”
Hahaha. Hahaha.
The laughter couldn’t stop.
Li Wei looked brightly at Hamilton, Hamilton sensed it, his smile finally fully expanded to his lips.
