Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 542

Chapter 542: 541 Straight to the point Chapter 542: 541 Straight to the point Pausing briefly, Smith didn’t beat around the bush as he glanced at Li Wei, “How do you know I’m not here on vacation?”

From Li Wei’s words and actions, it was clear that he had seen through Smith’s plan and perfected it, coming up with a better one.

Li Wei took a look at Smith in the rearview mirror and said meaningfully, “So, are you?

Really just here to vacation?”

Even without direct eye contact, Smith cleared his throat guiltily and turned to look out the window, “Miami is indeed a vacation paradise.”

Smith didn’t want to talk, and Li Wei didn’t press him, “Party, party, party, as long as you’re up for it, from Monday to Sunday, from morning till night, a non-stop party every day of the week, twenty-four hours a day.”

Smith also revealed a smile, “So, what parties did you go to?”

Li Wei’s face was frank, “Training parties.

JJ will give you the world’s craziest training parties, I guarantee you won’t want to move a finger when you get home.”

Pfft.

Unable to hold back, Smith laughed out loud, “Then what are you going to do today?”

“Sorry, captain, I only took off for three hours, I have to go back to training soon, need to make up for the missed part, and might even need extra training,” Li Wei said seriously.

“Haha.” Smith laughed cheerfully and paused before it dawned on him, his smile stiffening at the corners of his mouth, “Oh, you’re not joking.”

Li Wei just smiled and stayed silent.

Smith blinked, “Then no rest?”

Li Wei, “Of course, one day off every five.

...

But on rest days, Sherlock and I train swimming and yoga.

If you throw a party, we’re willing to adjust an afternoon and evening to relax properly.”

Smith was taken aback for a moment, trying to say something but ended up not able to say anything, just uttering in admiration.

“Wow.”

This was off-season training.

One could tell they were sharpening their tools.

Involuntarily, he admired again.

“Wow.”

A hint of a smile appeared in Li Wei’s eyes, “Captain, you should stop being astonished, I already have enough confidence and pride, it can’t keep swelling up.”

“Haha.” Smith laughed out loud again.

Amidst casual banter and teasing, Li Wei and Smith had arrived at the reserved restaurant.

“Mr.

Li Wei.” The restaurant manager was a blonde beauty in her thirties, her uniform hugging her curves tightly, who recognized the young Super Bowl MVP at a glance, and personally led Li Wei and Smith to the balcony seating.

As he watched her graceful figure walk away, Smith looked at Li Wei with a smile.

Li Wei was puzzled, “What is it?”

Smith, “I think she was sizing you up, and quite affectionately at that.”

Li Wei outright laughed, “So, is that how you met Elizabeth?”

Elizabeth Barry, Smith’s wife, the couple had been married for nine years and had two sons and a daughter together.

It’s worth mentioning that Elizabeth was a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders.

Whether it’s the rivalry between the Oakland Raiders and Kansas or the cheerleading stories, they’re worth discussing in detail, which is why, during the team’s family day, the players would often joke with Elizabeth.

Smith instantly got the meaning behind Li Wei’s words, slightly stunned before his lips curled up, “No matter what you’ve heard in the team, all of it’s fake.”

Li Wei shrugged lightly, “Then I’ll wait for you to clarify the facts.”

Smith: !

Seeing the teasing smile in Li Wei’s eyes, Smith couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

Li Wei was always good at keeping his jokes within bounds and didn’t pursue further, instead he looked around, “Sorry, my knowledge of Miami is limited to just two blocks, so I asked Travis for some help.”

“How do you feel?”

Here, on the extended balcony of a ten-story building, one could see the tall buildings at the city’s center and the beach and sea in the distance, enveloped by both modern architecture and natural scenery that provided a broad view and a unique sensation.

Moreover, Kelsey emphasized that this place was by appointment only, and the guests were carefully selected, so it was possible to avoid paparazzi and eavesdropping to the greatest extent.

It wasn’t just Li Wei, Kelsey also realized that Smith’s visit wasn’t just for a vacation.

Following Li Wei’s gaze back out, the skyline was filled with traffic weaving through a forest of steel, yet in the distance, there was the open space where sky met sea, indeed a unique landscape.

Not just Kansas City; such views were seldom seen in San Francisco before.

“Travis really knows how to enjoy life,” joked Smith.

Looking down at the menu, especially at the exorbitant prices listed, Smith was even more convinced, “Indeed.”

“Haha,” Li Wei burst out laughing.

After ordering, Smith took a deep breath.

Although his expression still showed hesitation and struggle, he finally mentally prepared himself to speak up.

“Rookie, do you think I should stay?”

Li Wei nearly choked on his saliva, “So direct, without any prelude or context?”

Smith chuckled lightly, “You should have a clear enough understanding of the background, right?”

Li Wei couldn’t deny it; just like the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs were also facing a difficult choice, and any smart person could guess as much.

Smith continued, “At last year’s draft, the team chose a quarterback, which is the clearest signal.

Only a fool wouldn’t see that coming, and I’ve been preparing for this day; but now, things are different, and I’ve had a lot of new thoughts.”

“So.”

“Do you think I should stay to fight for the starting spot, or should I turn and leave?”

Even though his agent already had an answer, Li Wei couldn’t at all understand why Smith wanted to ask for his opinion, even having a small spat with Smith over it; but Smith really wanted to hear Li Wei’s thoughts—

a hunch, and a form of trust.

Moreover, no matter what the final decision was, Smith felt he needed to tell Li Wei face-to-face.

It was an unspoken understanding between them.

Li Wei could feel the weight in Smith’s gaze and couldn’t help but show a wry smile, “Captain, asking me this puts me in a difficult position.”

Choose Smith or Mahomes?

Li Wei was also torn between the two.

Smith’s face broke into a broad smile, “Haha, that was the original purpose.” He paused, “But rookie, if you don’t want to answer, isn’t that an answer in itself?”

When facing Smith, one should naturally say “Smith,” even if it’s just a courtesy in conversation; but Li Wei didn’t speak up, which also meant he was taking Mahomes’s side.

Li Wei gave a wry laugh, “It seems we all misjudged you; you can also be sharp and assertive, right?”

Smith simply smiled without responding, because Li Wei still hadn’t answered his question.

Li Wei took a deep breath, “Captain, I think you should stay and compete for the starting position.”

Smith was very surprised.

Li Wei continued.

“You’ve already proven your ability and value, and even if age isn’t on your side, you have your strengths.

So, you should compete openly and directly with Sherlock, and the person who performs better should win the starting spot.”

Smith looked at Li Wei, whose eyes were clear and bright, still with the boldness and flair of youth, still believing that he could change the world with his own hands—

Youth is truly wonderful.

Smith, “Rookie, you should know, if I choose to stay, Patrick won’t have a chance.

The coach will definitely choose me to start, right?”
