Chapter 609

Chapter 609: 608 Community Heroes Chapter 609: 608 Community Heroes Passion surged and spilled over only to come to an unexpected halt—

West stopped midway, with his cheeks still flushed with excitement and exhilaration, but his eyes couldn’t help but betray a hint of sorrow, as he felt loss drag him by the ankles into the night.

But it was just for a brief second, West quickly snapped back to reality, shook his head, and took a deep breath.

“Sorry.”

“It’s just...

cough, cough.”

“That girl, she later agreed to my proposal at the Arrowhead Stadium, and became my wife.

We spent a very long...

a very long time together; but in the end, we still chose to split up, just last year.”

“Phew!”

“I don’t blame her, I wasn’t a competent husband.

I thought I could do it, but reality was another story, but that’s life, right?”

“Her leaving, maybe it’s for the best.”

“I just...”

“It’s hard.”

“We once thought that by the age of thirty, we would know how to live, that all questions would have answers, only to find out it’s still a mess.”

“When I looked at her, there were still sparks in my eyes, but life isn’t just about that, right?”

The smile, bitter and helpless.

...

“Unemployment, divorce, alcoholism...

God, I barely recognize myself anymore.”

As he spoke, West became a little flustered, hastily bowed his head to rub his eyes mumbling “got something in my eye,” then swiftly looked up at Li Wei, took a deep breath, and flashed an exaggerated smile.

“Sorry, my head’s not right now, I don’t know why I’m telling you this.

Please ignore it.”

“Where were we?”

Li Wei didn’t call out West’s “lie,” “We were just talking about how I came to Kansas City like Iron Man to save people from fire and water.”

Because Li Wei was so serious and focused, West was slightly taken aback.

A moment later, realizing Ansen was joking, West burst into laughter, but still kept nodding in agreement, “Yes, yes, exactly.

Thank you, Mr.

Tony Stark.”

“Wait, I thought you were Spider-Man?”

New York, the grassroots, the friendly neighbor?

West quickly waved his hands, “It’s that guy who was picking on you in the bar back then, but you’ve probably already forgotten about him...”

Li Wei wasn’t just bad at remembering names, but that didn’t mean he had a bad memory, “Oh, him, I remember.

You guys told me he was also struggling with unemployment, right?

So, you’re saying he found a job?”

West was even more surprised—

Li Wei actually remembered Provo?

He should tell that guy.

“Yes, a painter.”

“Well, the city has a project to maintain old neighborhoods.

We currently can’t attract business to establish a brand new commercial district, but there are still many rundown old neighborhoods in the corners of the city.

The city government is planning to carry out basic maintenance, hoping to attract more residents to settle here.”

The city was slowly revitalizing bit by bit.

Though not fast, one could truly feel the life force flaming up in the city’s veins, as the long dark age of unemployment seemed to finally welcome a glimmer of dawn.

“He’s now in charge of painting walls.

Additionally, he helps with demolishing dangerous buildings in his spare time.”

“Regardless, at least he’s found a job and can finally help with the rent.

If I weren’t worried about him ending up on the streets, I would have kicked him out just like his landlord did.”

The last time Li Wei heard the news, Provo was behind on rent but hadn’t been kicked out yet.

Now it appeared he had indeed been evicted, but fortunately, West had taken in Provo, preventing the poor fellow from becoming a homeless wanderer.

Life was hard, truly hard.

Li Wei couldn’t help but think of Li Yi and Jiang Yin.

They were honest folks, earnestly building their lives with their own hands.

The weight of the times was like a mountain on the shoulders of ordinary people.

Li Wei looked at West, “Is there anything I can do?”

West stared back at Li Wei with sincere eyes, “Just keep going like this, rookie.

What you’ve brought to this city is already enough.”

“Ha.”

Li Wei let out a light chuckle.

“Without the support of the fans, we’re just a bunch of fools running around chasing a football.

The Professional League is what it is because of your presence.”

“So please, allow me to give something back to the community.”
