Chapter 438: 437 Special Guest Chapter 438: 437 Special Guest Pat pat pat.
Perry nodded continuously like a bobblehead, fearing that anything less than his maximal speed or gesture might fail to convey his heartfelt agreent.
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 exclaid “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 imdiately 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 reclaid his usual deanor, 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, co 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 mont, taking out the number twenty-three jersey from the Arican 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 sothing…”
Brady: ???
Perry’s face lit up with surprise, “Finally!
The restaurant can hang up a ga jersey signed by Li Wei himself!”
But he didn’t expect that an untily 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.
…
Nightfall ca, lavish and dazzling, its stream flowing punctually; the roar and hubbub of the city sped between skyscrapers, the velocity and din stirring ripples through the air, dazzling and bewildering, as if entering a brand new world.
New York’s nights had a charm of their own.
Comparing to Kansas City was out of the question; even compared to New York during the day, the night was a completely different scene, spinning and jumping under the dark angel’s wings, the bizarre sights dragging one’s soul into a parallel universe.
Madison Square Garden, located in the heart of Manhattan, was the center of the universe, yet another sleepless night, another party night.
Fans decked in face paint, blowing whistles, wearing hats from all directions sward in, displaying the nightlife of this city.
At that mont, a black stretch limousine gracefully pulled up at the entrance of the arena’s VIP lane, catching the eye of the passing fans—
Who could it be?
Even though it couldn’t compare to the Staples Center in Los Angeles with its Hollywood star-studded VIP seats, Madison Square Garden was also a constellation of celebrities, with stars often spotted in the front rows.
At the sight, fans couldn’t resist speculating and craned their necks in curiosity, trying to get ahead in revealing the truth.
A man dressed neatly in a black suit stepped forward and politely opened the rear door of the limousine.
A pair of long legs clad in jeans and white Nike sneakers erged, effortlessly capturing attention.
Onlookers unwittingly followed the figure upward, unaware of their jaws gradually dropping.
Wait, could it be…
“Li Wei!”
“Ahh, Li Wei!”
“No way, no way, Li Wei has actually shown up, God, I can’t believe it!”
Despite being at Madison Square Garden and despite the NBA event being held here tonight, the crowd still recognized the figure at a glance and couldn’t help but shout uncontrollably.
Li Wei looked towards the source of the voices, flashed a smile, and waved his hand in greeting.
Ahhhh!
The screams and cheers instantly exploded, climbing a notch in intensity.
His suprely high popularity was truly unbelievable; it was hard to imagine that Li Wei would receive such treatnt in New York.
Li Wei shifted his gaze away and followed his bodyguard’s steps, heading straight into the stadium.
He was also visiting this landmark of New York for the first ti tonight.
No sooner had Li Wei arrived in New York than he thought he would spend ti with his parents and enjoy a short vacation.
But then, just after, he learned from Donald Yee that Jas Dolan had invited him to watch the basketball ga tonight.
Who is Jas 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 ca without warning, and Li Wei was filled with question marks, never having expected Dolan to extend an invitation, hoping he would co to watch the Knicks’ ga.
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 ho gas 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 excitent, 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 et 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 ga—
The players from both teams were warming up.
So, was he purely here to watch the ga 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 rember their nas.
Should he go up and greet them?
It was at this mont that a player seed 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 handso, 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 ga.
Wait a second, this player, he knew him, his na had a very morable pronunciation, he was one hundred percent sure he rembered it, it was on the tip of his tongue but couldn’t co out, and in the next second, the greeting ca out before his brain could catch up.
“Hey, Kid!”
