Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1271 My Condolences
A gentle breeze blew, and Talia Ryder's flaxen long hair danced, revealing her white forehead covered with crystal sweat. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and she was breathing heavily, but she still looked at Levi stubbornly and firmly, expressing her determination with her eyes and actions, and refusing to compromise easily.

That one look made Levi burst into laughter, revealing a bit of helplessness.

In the end, Levi didn't say much, turned around and started jogging again.

Talia followed again, like a tail that could not be shaken off.

But why was Talia here? What happened? Moreover, it seemed that Talia had followed him from the training base. After all, Talia didn't know any other friends in Kansas City. He was her only support. There was no one else she could turn to for help.

Wait, the little girl shouldn’t run away from home, right?
For a moment, my head was filled with a raging stream of thoughts, but there was no answer.

It's like a mess.

Then, Levi stopped again, turned around, and was about to ask.

As a result, Talia was seen gasping for breath, her cheeks were pale and bloodless, her whole body was soaked in sweat, and she could feel the burning sensation with her eyes.

When Talia saw Levi stop, she didn't give him a chance to speak. She waved her hand repeatedly, "Go on, go on, move forward..." The rough breathing sounded in the air, like pulling a bellows.

“Stop, start again… I can’t… keep going… keep going… this isn’t the end, is it?”

He kept muttering and staggering, and his language and body were completely shattered, like the last dead leaf that refused to fall from a tree in late autumn.

As she spoke, Talia actually ignored Levi and continued jogging forward.

And then... he actually overtook me.

Levi: ???
Things, is this correct?

Levi was filled with questions. Seeing that Talia was about to run in the wrong direction, he quickly started again and sprinted all the way to catch up. He pulled Talia's wrist and moved in the right direction, but Talia had lost her judgment and had no idea where she was running. Her eyes were unfocused.

It's purely the body running mechanically, following inertia. Once the inertia is broken, it may completely shut down.

However, Talia persisted.

Levi was a little helpless, "Are we going to end it here?"

Talia looked up at Levi, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

This little girl.

Levi laughed dumbly and pulled Talia's wrist, "Follow my rhythm, come on, adjust your breathing, two long and one short, don't pay attention to your steps but focus on your breathing."

Levi led the way, and Talia's eyes flashed with tenacity. She followed Levi and slowly adjusted herself, and finally caught up with the rhythm incredibly -

Finally, we arrived at Levi's residence.

Levi pushed open the door, and Talia didn't even wait for an invitation. She pushed the door open on her own and was about to pounce on the sofa. Levi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Talia.

"Oh..." Talia let out a depressed whine.

Levi helped Talia up, "Let's take a walk. Let's go to the kitchen and drink some water... Let's go to the backyard and breathe some fresh air... Let's go to the living room and sit on the sofa..."

Under Levi's step-by-step guidance, Talia slowed down her pace with heavy steps, and her heartbeat finally calmed down. Finally, she lay down on the sofa, moaning comfortably in her throat, and simply buried her head in the pillow.

After a while, Talia finally recovered a little.

Sitting up again, Talia looked at Levi and stuck out her tongue shyly, "Sorry, I wiped all my sweat on your pillow."

Levi's mouth corners could not help but rise slightly, "Obviously, this is the last thing my family needs to worry about; but you, haven't you read the story of Little Red Riding Hood? Don't enter a stranger's house easily."

At this moment, Talia remembered that this was Levi's residence. She looked up and took a look. It was simple, clean, comfortable and stylish. "It looks just like you."

"Don't worry, you didn't disappoint. In fact, there's a little surprise."

Levi was a little helpless and shook his head gently, "You know that's not what I meant..."

Talia looked at Levi calmly, "I know." "But Little Red Riding Hood went to her grandmother's house and was swallowed by the wolf. This is not my grandmother's house, so I don't need to worry at all."

Levi pulled the corner of his mouth, "Talia, never trust a man easily."

Talia, "How do you know you can trust me not to pounce?"

Levi: …

Talia, "See, stereotypes, your imagination is limited by your own prejudices. What's more, you are mourning Felix now, and you have no time to think about other things."

Levi had a headache and his temple twitched slightly. "No, any man, this is not prejudice. Talia, maybe you are blinded by your own prejudice? Don't trust any man at any time or any place."

Talia still looked at Levi calmly, "But Felix is ​​different after all."

Levi was unable to speak.

Talia, "I still remember clearly the story you told me about Felix. He is not only a fan, but also your partner, right?"

So, when she learned about Felix's unfortunate death through ESPN, she flew to Kansas City without hesitation. She knew the blow this incident had on Levi, and she had only one thought in her mind:
Levi needed her.

"Because Felix was so special, you couldn't even face his funeral."

"You're afraid that if you show up at the funeral, it will all become a reality, Felix will really die, Felix will never be able to appear at Arrowhead Stadium again, and Felix will not be able to follow you to the Super Bowl."

Once, and again.

Talia's words hit Levi's heart deeply and hard.

Can barely stand.

Levi used all his strength to barely control his trembling knees and stay standing, but when he opened his mouth he suddenly realized that his voice was very hoarse.

"No, I know... I know he died, I know today is the funeral..."

Talia, "But you dare not attend."

Levi's heart was strangled and he couldn't breathe. He stared at Talia blankly, with sadness in his eyes, a great sadness.

It's so embarrassing, it's exposed just like that.

Then, Levi smiled, pulled the corners of his mouth, and revealed a self-deprecating smile, "Now you are disillusioned, right? In fact, I am a coward, a cowardly coward."

Talia shook her head, "This just goes to show that Felix and you have a friendship that goes far beyond that."

The sadness bound Levi's ankles and he suddenly fell from a high altitude.

"I promised him that we would strive for an all-winning season."

"I promised him that we would strive for three consecutive championships."

"I promised him that no matter what difficulties or results we will fight to the end, just like a warrior, even if it means burning our lives and breaking our bones."

"but……"

Felix couldn't see it.

So, Levi refused to go to the funeral, Levi refused to say goodbye to Felix——

Their agreement has not ended yet.

He would carry their medals and trophies, he would fulfill their highest dreams, and then he would go to Felix and Anne's grave to fulfill his promise.

Now is not the time, and it shouldn't be now.
