Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 184 Next Door Neighbor
With the breeze blowing, the streets of Kansas City can slightly feel the coolness of spring, but the restlessness of summer is already brewing on the street corners.

Levi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would escort him away with such a deep meaning. He laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, I am also a fan. I know how fans feel about the team. The deeper their love, the more severe their criticism."

David thought about it carefully, "The deeper the love, the more severe the criticism?" Then he chuckled, "Yes, that's it, just like a big family."

After a brief pause, he continued.

"Chris, he just needs to find a job, he can't stand it, his head is going to explode just because he can't pay the bills."

"Charles..."

He raised his chin and gestured to the rock youth.

"Last week, his wife packed up and left him overnight because he has been unemployed for six months and can barely pay the rent for next month. He has never recovered since his brother died in Iraq three months ago. In addition to my job, he also works odd jobs in the auto repair shop, just hoping to survive."

"Hold on a little longer. Hold on a little longer."

"Maybe, for us, the chief is the only hope. The hope that helps us get through this difficult time."

Levi raised his head and saw a kind of tenacity in the man he met for the first time, and a belief that never extinguished even in the lows and setbacks.

The spring breeze adds a touch of green to the city, but the depression and loneliness that permeates the city still linger in the bitter cold winter for a long time.

Beneath the ordinary and peaceful daily life, sadness and decay are still slowly corroding their bones, and they just stand in the mud, struggling to hold on.

He smiled, and despite the bitterness and sadness, the corners of his mouth were still raised.

"One playoff win is enough. One."

Quietly, he looked at the city in front of him that was gradually becoming dilapidated in the silence, and the sadness and bitterness on the tip of his tongue slowly spread.

"Perhaps, you might say, what's a playoff win? Shouldn't we expect a Super Bowl championship?"

"Yes, what does the victory or defeat of a game matter? When we were young, we always thought that the game was about life and death, and a victory or a defeat could determine our lives; but when we grow up, we finally understand that life is much more complicated, much more complicated."

"One victory will not make life smooth; the same is true for one defeat, life will not fall apart, but we still believe in football, and we still pin all our hopes of life on a game."

"Because one victory is enough to make us believe that if we continue to fight, persist and move forward, we will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and create a new life with our own hands."

"One playoff win is enough."

"We really have..."

The words stopped here, and the following words came to an abrupt end in difficulty and trembling, faintly revealing a mixed struggle.

He looked at Levi with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this."

He shook his head gently, threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath, and smiled.

"Welcome to Kansas. Believe me, we are always behind the team. Even if you can't see us for a while, we will always stand in our position and fight with the Chiefs."

"There's no need to pay attention to Chris and the others. You just need to do your best and follow your own rhythm and pace. Our Chiefs will always be a complete team."

"By the way, I'm David Anderson. I own this bar. You're always welcome to visit me."

It turned out to be the boss.

Levi smiled and made a little joke, "Is there any problem on the eve of the game?" Unexpectedly, Anderson did not hesitate at all, "Of course, anytime. You should remember that we have always been here and have never and will not leave."

In the professional league, players, coaches, team managers, and even owners come and go, but fans are the only exception.

As spring goes and winter comes, they always stand there. The team is not an activity or a pastime, but their life. It is that simple.

From Tuscaloosa to Kansas City, although everything was still unfamiliar, Levi already felt the warmth of home.

"Okay." Levi smiled back.

After the rock youth Charles helped to check, he confirmed that Levi's engine was scrapped. After asking Levi for his opinion, he helped to call the repair shop, and they would send someone to tow the vehicle to the repair shop for repair.

At the same time, after obtaining Anderson's consent, he drove Levi to his residence.

When Levi arrived safely, there was a truck parked in front of the neighbor's door and the moving company was busy going in and out.

Charles-West, the long-haired rock youth watched Levi get out of the car. He didn't turn off the engine, but shouted loudly from the driver's seat.

"Hey man, I can't pronounce your name right now, but we're learning, and we'll get it right when the new season comes."

The clear eyes are full of sincerity.

Levi made a joke, "Do we have to wait for the new season? I thought the preseason would be enough."

West was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, "Welcome to Kansas City."

Seeing that West was about to leave, Levi couldn't help but shout again, "Won't you stay a little longer? My next-door neighbor is also a chief."

West glanced at the rearview mirror and shook his head slightly, "See you at the training ground next time. I'm already late today, and I owe David too much. I can't let him be busy in the tavern alone."

"goodbye!"

West's farewell came in the wind, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"Levi!"

Mahomes looked out the living room window and saw Levi at a glance. He ran out happily, just in time to see the back of West's car leaving, with question marks all over his head.

"Did you hitchhike all the way here?"

Mahomes was excited and nervous when he learned that he was also selected by the Kansas City Chiefs and would become teammates with Levi. He became neighbors with Levi and the two could go to training together and discuss the game together. For the rookies, they could help each other and adapt to the intensity of the league as soon as possible.

Unlike Levi, who is a loner, Mahomes has a girlfriend, Brittany-Matthews, with whom he has been in a stable relationship since high school. Although the two have not yet married, their parents are already friends and they have been living together.

In his rookie season, in order to ensure that Mahomes could concentrate, Brittany did not plan to live in Kansas City, but Mahomes' residence was still completely decorated by Brittany, so there was the big scene in front of us. Mahomes had already informed Levi in ​​advance via text message.

At this time, Brittany had also arrived at the door. She had her long hair tied up with a headband and was wearing a beige floral shirt and jeans. Her petite body exuded a youthful vitality.

Without waiting for Mahomes to introduce herself, she noticed Levi's gaze and introduced herself calmly, "Levi, my name is Brittany. Patrick has mentioned the rookie training camp in front of me more than once."

Levi smiled back, "Oh, I hope he didn't bring up what happened that night."

Mahomes: ???
Brittany: ???
