Chapter 30: Leave it to Me

In the 15-minute halftime break, Wang Fuxi finally found that pink hat with the help of a janitor at the Kingdome, buried in a pile of sweepings gathered for cleaning.

Entering the venue that evening, there had been just too many people, and her hat was knocked off. She tried to bend down to pick it up but couldn't, and it was quickly trampled and swallowed by the crowd.

In a stadium with over 40,000 spectators, her seat was deep inside. Once the game started and the fervent fans all stood up, there was no way to get out.

Wang Fuxi, with patience, watched the entire first half, and during the halftime break when everyone scattered to use the restroom or get food, she found a staff member and with persistent pleading, finally retrieved her hat.
