Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1272 A moth flies into the flame
"Fly, rookie, fly!"

"We welcome victory together, and we also face failure together!"

"Rookie, sorry, I have a request. Here's the thing, I have a friend..."

"Even if this is a battle that is doomed to fail, I want to fight to the end."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't tell my mom, okay? She'll be mad."

"Welcome to my funeral!"

"I'm afraid of being forgotten. I'm afraid that if I disappear, I won't exist anymore."

"I don't dare to face Annie. I don't dare..."

"Everything isn't over until the game is over, right?"

"It's a perfect season, don't be in a hurry, just take it one step at a time, we just need to go at our own pace."

"Come on, rookie, why are you so serious? Let's play a prank together!"

From being afraid of being forgotten to facing death calmly, from a bluffing paper tiger to a true hero who laughs in the face of wind and rain, from being at a loss in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death to still not forgetting to play pranks before death comes.

Memories, like a tide, instantly drowned and swallowed Levi.

Felix Gray is neither a hero nor a warrior. He is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is afraid of pain, death, and that his existence may be forgotten; an ordinary person who loves football, longs for youthful campus life, strives to fight the disease and strives to survive; an ordinary person who is full of hope and pursues his dreams but dies before he can reach adulthood.

He is not perfect.

He has his own weaknesses, fear and cowardice, fragility and anger; but at the same time, he faces his imperfections calmly, and uses an ordinary yet extraordinary soul to ignite the high morale of Arrowhead Stadium, illuminate the direction of the Kansas City Chiefs in the darkness and quagmire, and achieve a brilliant life.

However, everything came to an abrupt end, waking up to reality unexpectedly, simply, crudely, cruelly and coldly.

On the road to dreams, reality is far more cruel and terrifying than imagined.

Whether it was an undefeated season or three consecutive championships, Felix had no chance to witness them.

Facing birth, aging, sickness and death, Levi felt his insignificance and helplessness as never before. Those slogans, those chicken soups and those consolations were completely cold.

Until now, Levi still can't accept the fact——

He knew what had happened, his mind and his brain proved it; but subconsciously, he still believed that things were not over yet.

Anne, that's right.

Felix, same thing.

Levi admitted his cowardice. He did not dare to go to the funeral and he refused to go to the funeral.

Talia looked at the shattered Levi in ​​front of her with a bitter mouth, but Levi was more resilient and strong than ever before. He bravely bore the weight of life, old age, sickness and death, and took unwavering steps towards his dream.

“You’re still fighting.”

Talia finally found her voice.

Levi suddenly raised his head and looked at Talia.

Talia bravely met Levi's gaze, "You are still fulfilling your promise. You are still moving forward, carrying the dreams of Felix and Annie."

“That’s the only thing that matters.”

"It is true that Felix and Anne have left us physically, but they are still with us spiritually and socially."

"They are right there, quietly guarding Arrowhead Stadium and meeting every challenge."

"This is not chicken soup for the soul, this is the spirit and soul of the Kansas City Chiefs, the power you have gathered with each game and each step."

"It's not about championships, it's not about winning, it's just about you and us and everyone living in Kansas City and those who are silently cheering for the players in different corners of the world."

Taking a deep breath, Talia looked at Levi, leaning forward slightly, and looking into Levi's eyes with bright eyes.

“So, keep fighting, keep chasing your dreams, keep believing in hope.”

"But, Levi, don't face it alone."

"Don't abandon Felix and Annie, don't abandon your teammates, don't abandon me, let us face the challenges together and face the storms together."

“That’s what we love about Kansas Chiefs and we believe with all our hearts that we belong to Kansas Chiefs.”

Sentence after sentence, so sincere and so hot, filled Levi's chest and made it almost impossible to breathe.

Levi took a deep, deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and the pain of his nails piercing his palms barely helped him to grasp some rationality and regain clarity.

During these few days, my body has been dull and stiff, as if I have lost all perception, unable to feel tiredness or pain, and everything is in chaos.

But now, the familiar tingling feeling returned, and the heart seemed to feel the weight of gravity again, falling from a high altitude at the speed of free fall.

Sadness, pain... despair.

Everything became clear.

This feeling is disgusting, but at the same time, it makes people feel real and alive, and vitality seems to flow in the blood vessels again.

My mouth was full of bitterness and my heart was filled with unbearable sorrow. My heart once again felt that heavy, swollen and sour force and I almost couldn't breathe.

However, it is extremely real.

Levi forced himself to smile widely to hide his embarrassment and confusion. "So, is this why you came all the way from New York to Kansas City?"

Talia didn't hesitate and answered directly, "Yes."

Because it was too direct and clear, Levi, who asked the question, was stunned. "So serious? I was just going to make a joke."

Talia shook her head. "But I didn't. So now you know that I wasn't acting on impulse. I meant everything I said at the airport, right? I know what I'm doing, and I'm proving with my actions that I'm not a child. I have the ability to think independently."

"How about it, are you a little touched?"

Levi choked, "...Talia."

Talia smiled and winked playfully, "Ha, got you? I was just joking, why are you so serious?"

Levi: …

Talia really laughed out loud this time. She curled up into a ball and tucked herself into the pillows on the sofa. "Haha, haha, it's rare to see you like this."

Talia took out her cell phone from her pocket and took a picture while Levi wasn't paying attention, recording Levi's helpless expression at the moment.

Levi was really... at a loss for words and was stunned.

Usually, when facing the paparazzi's pursuit and close attack, he never panicked. Not only was he calm and generous, he even played games with the paparazzi with ease, so that now the paparazzi are reluctant to come forward when they hear Levi's name -

Haven't you noticed? There are fewer flies around Levi now, because those paparazzi know that Levi is a tough guy.

However, he didn't expect that he would let his guard down today and actually fall in front of an amateur "paparazzi". Levi's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Why, are you going to sell it to TMZ?"

TMZ, the largest gossip paparazzi website in North America.

Talia raised her chin slightly, "How is that possible? I must keep such a precious scene to myself. Don't worry, your secret is very safe with me."

As he spoke, he deliberately held up his phone and started scrolling through photos. When Levi wasn't paying attention, he pressed the shutter to take pictures, blatantly continuing to capture the moment.
