Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 125 Frankness

Uh, Levi blinked his eyes and looked a little doubtful.

Perry didn't notice this. He smiled widely and looked at Jiang Yin who was coming towards him. "Running back is a position in football. It's very handsome and strong. Although the league doesn't pay much attention to it now, I always think that running back is the most original and core soul of football."

As he was talking, Perry scratched his head and said, "Oh, I guess you guys aren't interested. Sorry."

Jiang Yin waved her hand and brought a bowl of beef soup to the table. "University of Alabama? My son studies there. You can ask him if he knows it."

Perry's eyes widened as he looked at Levi, "You're also at the University of Alabama?"

Looking at it carefully again, Perry suddenly covered his mouth.

Levi gave an awkward smile, "Nice to meet you, thank you for watching my game."

Perry was stunned. A shiver ran from the soles of his feet to his scalp, and then he felt numb and his jaw dislocated. "Jesus Christ!"

Li Yi just happened to come out, carrying two plates of stir-fried dishes. "Have a simple meal at noon, and we'll prepare a big dinner for dinner."

Seeing Perry's expression, Li Yi was confused, "What did you see, Jack?"

It just so happened that Levi was still thinking about how to discuss football with his parents. Now that the opportunity had arisen, he might as well just go for it.

"I was playing basketball at school and it was broadcast live on TV. Jack should have recognized me." Levi said lightly.

Li Yi suddenly realized and looked at Perry, "Oh, he is in extracurricular activities at school. How come those games are also broadcast live across the United States?"

In the spring, Levi switched to football. Because he didn't want to worry his parents and didn't know how to explain the situation, he simply glossed over it and said that the coach took a fancy to him and asked him to participate in football extracurricular activities. He would use his time outside of studying to participate in some activities.

Li Yi and Jiang Yin didn't think much about it——

"Football", they thought it meant soccer and didn't ask any questions.

At this moment, Perry had a look of astonishment on his face. "Extracurricular activities?" He couldn't believe his ears. "No, Levi is now the best running back in the American college arena. No. 1, understand? No. 1 in the United States."

Jiang Yin looked at Li Wei with a pleased look on her face, smiled, and joked, "This is already the first in the United States, so, do you have a certificate?"

Perry: Dislocated jaw, cardiac arrest.

God, who can explain the seriousness of this matter to Levi's parents?
Perry looked at Levi eagerly, confused and unable to understand the situation. His head was a mess and he even thought he was dreaming.

Originally, Levi was a little nervous and hadn't thought about how to start the conversation, but now seeing Perry's expression, he couldn't help laughing and relaxed.

Then, Li Wei turned to look at Li Yi and Jiang Yin, waiting for them to sit down.

"That's the thing."

"This semester, I have been on the school football team, participating in the university league. You all know about this. I thought it was just a cameo, but the coach thought I had talent and was very suitable for this sport."

"Now, my coach suggested that I turn professional and participate in the draft next April."

In a few words, Levi explained the situation as concisely as possible.

Perry swallowed hard, his brain freezing. For a moment, he wasn't sure whether he should be surprised that Levi had downplayed the NCAA as an extracurricular activity, or whether he should be surprised by the news that Levi was preparing for the draft. There were as many criticisms as highlights as there were critiques, and he couldn't keep up with them all.

Li Yi paused for a moment while he was busy. "So you haven't fallen behind in your studies, have you?"

Perry almost fell off the stool: Come on, this is not the point, okay?
Levi was not surprised and nodded, "Yeah, I haven't fallen behind in school."

Jiang Yin didn't care at all, and obviously didn't realize what was going on. She stood by and served the rice, "Is this what Jack just said about being the best in the United States?" Levi smiled, "We are indeed the champions of the Southeastern Conference."

Jiang Yin laughed out loud, "You won the championship? We should celebrate tonight."

Li Yi focused his attention and grasped the key point, "You mean turning professional? In other words, preparing to become a professional player?"

Jiang Yin was stunned, "What professional player?"

Levi nodded and met Li Yi's gaze, "Yes. The coach asked me to ask for your opinions."

"Ridiculous." Li Yi's face turned pale. "Isn't it an extracurricular activity? How did it become a professional activity? What about work? What about university?"

"You, you said you have grown up and finally become sensible, but you are still a child. Do you think it is easy to be a professional player?"

"You see professional players are glamorous, but you can't believe how hard it is to train behind the scenes. Don't think that you understand the hard work involved just because you practice mixed martial arts."

"Those professional players are better than each other. Each one is a genius and a monster. Professional competitions are not something that anyone can participate in. Not only do you need talent, but you also need to put in unimaginable hard work."

“Not to mention the injuries.”

"One injury could ruin all your efforts. This road is not that easy."

"I thought you were going to college, studying hard, and planning to become a journalist, but you're planning to become a professional player? And what about mixed martial arts? You just gave up, so why are you planning to play football?"

"Others may not be able to become professional players even if they work hard all their lives, but you practice for half a year or a year just for fun, and others praise you a few words, so you really think you are a genius?"

There was a crackling sound and a gust of wind and rain.

The words were not fluent, and he scolded without thinking in anger and humiliation, but the core meaning was clear, Li Yi was obviously very, very unhappy.

Jiang Yin was stunned, and only then did she finally understand what they were discussing.

Subconsciously, Jiang Yin defended her son, "Why are you throwing a tantrum? Xiao Wei just asked for our opinions and didn't really say he wanted to go. Why are you so angry?"

Li Yi glared at Jiang Yin fiercely, "You just spoil him. You always agree with whatever he says. A loving mother often spoils her son. That's how you spoil him."

Jiang Yin refused to admit defeat. "What do you mean by I spoil him? Xiao Wei has always been sensible. He knows what he is doing and never wants us to worry about him. Even if you don't like it, at least listen to what your son has to say first."

Jiang Yin ignored Li Yi and turned to look at Li Wei. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, but she still tried to stay calm and slowed down her tone and speaking speed.

"Xiao Wei, what's going on? Tell me carefully. Your dad and I are listening here."

Subconsciously, a conditioned reflex made him want to rebel and talk back, and it was difficult to sit down and have a calm conversation; but Levi still controlled himself.

After experiencing incredible things like time travel and systems, I have become more rational and objective, and my attitude towards things has also subtly changed.

Maybe Li Yi has a hot temper and speaks harshly, but Li Wei can hear the concern behind the sarcasm and truly cares about the child's future.

For Li Yi and Jiang Yin, making a living down to earth is the right way to go. Professional players and competitive sports seem unrealistic and illusory.

They were worried about Levi.

This actually calmed Levi down and his thoughts became clearer.
