Chapter 1193: Playing Matchmaker
The clamor, noise, and frenzy, the party atmosphere kept surging.
Taylor Swift felt slightly out of place, although it was similar to a concert scene, she always felt she didn't belong here.
Especially after the game ended, the feeling of blood boiling and passion gradually faded, reason returned to the body, and the sense of unfamiliarity became more evident.
After all, she's not familiar with sports.
Here, she couldn't find friends, and even familiar faces were few, looking around, all the hustle and bustle didn't belong to her.
Originally, Swift came with her boyfriend Alvin.
Alvin is introverted and low-key; despite working as an actor, outside of work, he's rarely exposed to the media spotlight, believing that the current age of the internet has led to an excessive exposure rate, causing people to be swept into the frenzy and lose themselves.
If unnecessary, Alvin and Swift both dated at home.
For this reason, Swift even bought an apartment in London.
But occasionally, Swift still wants to go out with friends, to experience the outside world, and connect with other people's lives.
Unfortunately, Alvin considered London Bowl a complete spotlight place, plus he had no interest in football, so only Swift came alone.
During the game, immersed in the passion and frenzy, she temporarily didn't feel it; but now, the huge gap slowly emerged.
Subconsciously, Swift held Ariana's arm a bit tighter, like clutching a lifeline.
"Ariana..."
Not only Swift but Ariana also felt lost here.
Ariana's understanding of football was limited; it's just that Swift would look at her with an admiring expression seeking her answers regardless of the questions, but she knew her own limits.
At this moment, Ariana didn't know what to do either, hearing the call, she subconsciously turned her head and then heard Swift speak.
"Should we leave now?"
Ariana seemed a bit hesitant, her eyes searching aimlessly and reluctantly in the crowd, and then she saw that person in the bustling crowd.
Slender, tall, upright, carrying a helmet in hand, his short black hair soaked in sweat, gracefully coming forward through smoke and war.
At that moment, her heartbeat skipped a beat.
"Hey, Ariana! Taylor!"
He raised the helmet, waving at them, greeted them loudly.
Ariana was a bit stunned, not reacting immediately.
Swift, without much thought, was especially happy to see a familiar face, waved her left hand energetically.
"Hey hey hey, Professor!"
Approaching, you could see the smile blossoming on Li Wei's lips.
"What, are you going to sing your heart out next? Like 'High School Musical'?"
"High School Musical," a musical film about high school students' pursuit of love and dreams.
Swift and Ariana exchanged a bewildered look, with smiles gradually surfacing in their eyes.
Li Wei confused, "What?"
Swift directly laughed, "Nothing, just didn't expect you to watch 'High School Musical'..."
Li Wei shrugged lightly, "What, must I watch 'Singing in the Rain' and 'Chicago' to demonstrate taste? 'High School Musical' lacks elegance?"
In those astonished and unexpected glances, Li Wei spread his hands with a beaming smile.
"Hey, girls, you should revise your stereotype of football players, just as this football player should change his stereotype about you, thinking you are clueless and uninterested in football."
Kelsey: ???
"Hey!"
Kelsey tried to stop Li Wei but didn't know what to do, completely unprepared to be named by Li Wei, could only shout in protest—
What kind of introduction is this?
"Rookie! I am not, I didn't, I'm not..."
Seeing Kelsey's flustered look, the two girls burst into laughter.
Li Wei appropriately introduced, "Taylor, Travis; Travis, Taylor."
Swift showed a smile, "I know you, the Hulk!" She said, while also mimicking Kelsey's touchdown celebration.
Hahaha.
Ariana and Li Wei both burst into laughter, Kelsey awkwardly scratched his head.
Swift extended her right hand, "He is right, I am clueless and uninterested in football. In fact, I have always known about football's existence, but never intended to watch a live game."
Li Wei looked at Kelsey who still hadn't moved, had to supplement, "Until Ariana dragged you here?"
Ariana sighed deeply, "You have no idea how much effort it took, her boyfriend Joe prefers staying home, I almost had to literally drag her out."
Swift seemed a bit shy, with a faint blush on her cheeks, "But I'm very glad I came, tonight's game was very exciting."
Swift looked at Kelsey, "You're not going to leave me hanging, Mr. Kelsey?"
Kelsey finally reacted, "Travis, you can call me Travis."
Handshake, greetings, gaze intertwined.
Finally!
Li Wei retreated successfully, "You guys chat first, let Travis explain the boring football knowledge to you, hopefully, we can continue seeing you at the games; as for now, I still have some things to do."
Exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Wei bid farewell.
Originally, Li Wei wanted to pull Ariana away to leave space for Kelsey, not exactly creating opportunities, but that way Kelsey should be able to play freely; didn't expect, Swift held Ariana back, Ariana could only look at Li Wei with full regret.
Li Wei looked at Kelsey and spread his hands indicating, buddy, there's nothing I could do.
Turning around, Li Wei walked towards the stands.
"Professor, I love you!"
"Great game, Professor."
"When are you coming back next time?"
"London welcomes you!"
"Flying, ah ah ah, flying!"
Cheers, shouts, a rolling tide, accompanying Li Wei's moving steps continued to erupt and boil, the fans at Wembley reluctant to leave, not just Kansas City Chiefs fans but also Los Angeles Chargers fans.
"See you next time at Arrowhead Stadium!"
"We will beat you, just wait!"
Even if it was a battle invitation, it lacked some gunpowder, with a hint of cuteness—
London, indeed a bit different.
Li Wei's steps never paused, following the scenes seen in the game, searched through memory, but it's truly not an easy task in the sea of people.
Finally, Li Wei found them.
"Adam..."
"Adam!"
Li Wei had been searching for Andrew Lee and Adam Lee in the crowd, the father and son who nearly encountered a disaster at Wembley.
Li Wei knew, experiencing that day's accident, to muster the courage to return to Wembley in a short time and still in the midst of a crowd of ninety thousand requires not just courage.
Yet they still appeared, just to bear witness to the game live.
Li Wei longed to express some gratitude, they, like those fans in Kansas City, build the team's strongest support with their spirit and flesh.
