Dominate the Super Bowl

Finally!

Li Wei finally shows his true colors!

Good things come to those who wait; after hardship comes happiness; renewed vigor in dead wood; it's time for a turnaround!

The persistence and hard work of the journalists have finally moved heaven and earth, and reward is imminent!

——Going home.

Isn't the answer obvious enough?

Step one, send Mahomes home.

Step two, bring Ariana home.

See, that's all there is to it, as simple as can be, as clear as day, just like one plus one equals two, not brain-bending at all.

Watching Li Wei's car head towards his own home, the journalists who doggedly followed behind were so exhilarated they almost fainted.

Imagine for a moment, once the news breaks, all of North America will be swept into a storm, surpassing even the Beckham and Victoria saga of years past.

Perhaps some will say: Wait a moment, blind spot! Can't you see such an obvious blind spot?

Li Wei isn't an idiot, not only that, he's a clever fox!

At Arrowhead Stadium, Li Wei was already aware of the journalists' presence, facing their relentless pursuit with a forthright demeanor.

Clearly, Li Wei knew the journalists were waiting to dig up a scoop and create a buzz, and he also knew what Ariana's appearance signified, choosing to confront it head-on.

The subsequent trips to and from the hospital were haunted by the lingering shadows of journalists, visible to anyone not blind.

So how could Li Wei possibly walk into the trap, blatantly taking a rumored lover home, pushing himself into the storm just like a love-struck fool?

It's unthinkable.

Honestly, if the journalists had acted like paparazzi from the start, hiding their tracks, sneaking around, letting Li Wei lower his guard, tonight's narrative might have been different, and the rumor about Li Wei and Ariana might have been confirmed.

But now, the journalists have exposed their presence, and Li Wei's astuteness ensures he's completely closed off any possibility of digging his own grave tonight.

That's why, at the hospital entrance, seeing Mahomes get into the car, two-thirds of the journalists turned away, believing Li Wei wouldn't continue making foolish mistakes, knowing even if they persistently followed Li Wei, they might end up embarrassing themselves.

No, more than two-thirds, more than three-fourths of the journalists dispersed.

So how could Li Wei be foolish enough to take Ariana home?

Experienced journalists would say: It's obvious, only amateurs would raise such rookie-level questions.

Is Li Wei smart? Of course!

Do the journalists know? Certainly!

But journalists never expected Li Wei to foolishly trap himself; they need nothing more than an opportunity, a window, or even a crack.

Li Wei returning home probably just means escorting Mahomes home; but the journalists don't care, the truth right before their eyes isn't important—

They just need to capture the moment Li Wei's car stops at home, or better yet, photograph Ariana in the passenger seat, cropping Mahomes out of the lens from the backseat, or catching the moment Ariana gets out of the car.

Then, they can present these photos with earnest claims that Ariana spent the night at Li Wei's home.

Rumors?

That's not all, they could convince everyone that Li Wei and Ariana are inseparable, with the next step possibly being engagement, marriage, and having a baby!

All it takes is one photo.

What is making a horse out of a deer? What is quoting out of context? What is partial truth? What is storytelling from pictures?

Real journalists would give Li Wei a proper lesson with professional skills:

Don't think you took a few journalism courses in college and considered yourself a professional journalist; don't get overly complacent just because you outwitted journalists a few times with cleverness.

If tonight Li Wei takes Mahomes and Ariana directly to the Kansas City Chiefs Training Facility, then they admit defeat, tricked by Li Wei once more; but they could still spin it and create topics.

"Li Wei confirms relationship, takes date to meet with team members."

"Li Wei and Ariana's relationship becomes clear, Ariana attends Kansas City Chiefs' family event."

Although these are more far-fetched, they aren't entirely unconvincing; journalists will always find ways to achieve their goals, Li Wei shouldn't think it would be easy to shake off these rumors.

GOAT?

Ha. Look at how Brady was chased relentlessly like a public target after dating Gisele Bundchen post breaking up with his pregnant ex-girlfriend; or Beckham's extramarital affair becoming a nationwide joke, leaving him nowhere to escape. Li Wei ought to be prepared.

Journalists will stop at nothing.

And now, Li Wei actually brings Mahomes and Ariana home—

Clearly, Li Wei is too confident, too arrogant, too conceited, and at the same time too young, too naive, too inexperienced, thinking he's got everything under control, easily manipulating the journalists, yet completely unaware that his pride is becoming a stumbling block.

Smart people are indeed difficult; but sometimes, smart people are often blinded by their own cleverness.

The journalists, raring to go, can't contain their excitement, readying for the turnaround of tonight's frustration and gloom.

The car is still moving, yet many journalists have impatiently placed their cameras in the passenger seats, controlling the steering wheel with one hand, ready to free a hand to press the shutter, as if it's really a scene from "Fast & Furious."

Closer.

Even closer.

Journalists familiar with Li Wei recognize the street leading to his residence, getting pumped up and ready—

Just right, lights blazing.

From the far end of the street, you can see the warm yellow light spilling from the residence, illuminating the space, ensuring that journalists can capture Ariana's face clearly and accurately in the dim night light conditions.

At this moment, some journalists unfasten their seatbelts, ready to leave their vehicles casually by the roadside, sprinting towards the passenger seat of Li Wei's car.

One snapshot, one photo is all it takes.

The journalists are on full alert, temporarily forgetting one crucial thing:

If Li Wei and Mahomes are both outside, why are the lights on at their home?

No time to think about it now!

Cars casually parked by the roadside, some opening the doors and rushing out with all their might, eyes focused solely on the passenger seat of Li Wei's car, needing to capture the scene of Li Wei and Ariana in the car before Mahomes comes into view.

Conveniently, since Mahomes has a knee injury and can't get out of the car by himself, they have a window, each journalist vying for that entire window.

From every direction, you can see at least five journalists abandoning their cars to sprint.

Thud thud thud, thud thud thud.

The sound of footsteps skidding on the ground surged.

Then—

"Surprise!"

Right ahead, a wave of heat washed over, breaking the calm and igniting the scene, and in a flash, the journalists' footsteps all came to a halt, staring in astonishment at the scene before them.

Wha... what's going on?
