Li Wei, holding his breath—
In a dizzying whirl, he located the soaring parabola of the football and watched as the playful auburn speck fell into Kelsey's arms. The breath that he had been holding in his chest was finally released in a long sigh as he shook off Kendricks without getting up, simply lying on the ground completely exhausted, letting his brain keep firing.
Right now, he didn't even want to move a finger; his body and soul were completely emptied out, having used tremendous force, fully and satisfyingly unleashed.
The long, bumpy, tortuous, and perilous season had finally come to an end.
Victory. Champions.
They did it. They actually did it.
The sense of relief from burning out, along with the pleasure of pushing limits, burst open like fireworks, filling his entire brain as the world started to spin rapidly.
Then—
"We won."
