Zhou Yi successfully persuaded his parents to come to Dortmund to live with him for a while, but next he had to worry about where to live - he still lives with Cortana. Although Cortana doesn't come back every day, there is no way for his parents to live in in such an environment, otherwise what if he says when he meets Cortana?

Just say that you live under the same roof with a single beauty?

Who knows what parents will think, and Cortana may not be willing to "meet parents" like this.

So Zhou Yi has been considering this issue. He was hesitating. Should he tell Cortana to ask her to go home for a while, or to stay in a hotel with his parents.

Just when Zhou Yi was hesitating, Cortana made the decision first.

After Zhou Yi finished training and returned to her residence, he saw Cortana packing her luggage in her room.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yi asked in surprise.

"Moving." Cortana didn't raise her head.

"Why...to move?" Although Zhou Yi hopes that Cortana will stay home for a while, looking at her situation, it definitely doesn't seem like the things she needs to bring to stay for a few days...

"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" Cortana finally stopped the movement in her hand, looked at Zhou Yi with a teasing smile on her face.

Zhou Yi looked confused.

"You are a big star now, are you? You are about to become the best player in Europe..."

"This matter has not been decided yet..." Zhou Yi waved his hand.

"In my opinion, if you can't get it, it's a shady scene." Cortana said very surely. "With your current popularity and status, your private life will certainly be taken to the public to see it in a magnifying glass. Don't you know why I often go home for a while now?"

Of course Zhou Yi knew it.

There are more and more paparazzi chasing him, and more and more reports about his life. Cortana appears in this house again, no matter how careful she is, she will be caught by reporters. What if there is a deviation in the report then?

Is Cortana her girlfriend?

The lonely man and the widow actually lived together for several years!

...

As soon as reports like this came out, Zhou Yi felt that it would be impossible for him and Cortana to live in this room, and it was too embarrassing.

So it is normal for Cortana to move and leave. Since Mark was seriously injured, she has moved back and lived for a long time. Later, after Mark's injury healed, she often went home to live, unlike before, not living here every day.

Anyway, she can take a car with Mark to train, and now the advantage of this residence being close to the training base is gone.

No matter which aspect of analysis, it is normal and correct for Cortana to move away.

But when Zhou Yi really saw Cortana start to pack his luggage, a feeling of "unwilling to bear" suddenly surged deep in his heart.

After living together for so many years, even cats and dogs have feelings for each other, right? Not to mention humans.

Although they still know each other, the meaning of the current quarrel is different from the first ones when they first met. The current quarrel is more of a habit, or a life adjustment. Zhou Yi will not get angry because of a quarrel with Cortana. On the contrary, he still enjoys this tit-for-tat bickering.

In terms of verbal skills, Zhou Yi is a rare opponent, and Cortana is the only opponent who can make him feel fighting spirit. Both of them are speechless when they say the other party, and this time will make him feel very accomplished.

It seems like two little lions are fighting, but in fact they are not fighting, but playing.

※※※

Seeing Zhou Yi being stunned and stopped talking, Cortana knew that he had certainly guessed why. Zhou Yi was a smart person. If he didn't understand, Cortana would be disappointed with him.

Now this is normal.

Cortana lowered her head and continued to pack.

But she heard Zhou Yi say, "Don't move."

"Stop making trouble." Cortana thought Zhou Yi was joking again.

"I'll move."

Cortana's hand stopped.

"Actually, I wanted to move too, so I called my parents before and invited them to live with me in Dortmund. At that time, I thought I would find a place to live, because now my parents are here... it's not convenient." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Besides, as a rich man, it's not very appropriate to continue renting a house. Don't you always say that to me? I just want to buy a house. This place is close to the training base and is quite suitable for you to and from get off work. You should continue to live here. As for me, if I have a car, it doesn't matter where I live."

Zhou Yi gave an impeccable reason. Cortana looked at him and didn't know how to refute it.

※※※

Zhou Yi is a very action-oriented person, or he has not had much time left.

So that night he called his agent Shurtze and asked him to help him find a house, so that he could bring all the furniture and appliances, and he could move in with his bag, the faster the better.

He told Schultzer about his parents coming to Dortmund.

It is something that Shurtze must do as an agent to serve a player like Zhou Yi. There is no reward for finding a house, Shurtze must do it too. Many trivial things in life are actually left to the agent to do.

Shurtze is a very action-oriented and capable agent. He only took one day to find a house for Zhou Yi.

After the training, Zhou Yi was taken to see it by Shurtze and was very satisfied with the house because it fully met his requirements - it was decorated, with all furniture and appliances, and even sanitation was not required to be cleaned, so he could move in with his bag.

The house is in Dortmund, not in Bracker. However, for Zhou Yi, who has obtained a driver's license and has a car, this is not a problem. It takes only twenty minutes to drive there, which is very convenient.

Since I have a crush on it, the rest is to negotiate a contract signing.

Zhou Yi was also completely handed over to Shurtze. He was a lawyer and of course he was more professional than himself.

Shurce settled the house purchase and sale contract as quickly as possible and handed it over to Zhou Yi for a look. Zhou Yi felt that it was fine, so he signed it.

Shurtze thought that even if the matter was done, Zhou Yi gave him another task: "You can buy me another house. But there is no hurry to do this, because it is not convenient for me to come forward, you can handle everything, and the house also comes with a lease. I don't want the landlord to drive the tenant out in order to sell the house..."

Shurtze was a little confused, but he understood it. He asked back: "That is, you want to buy this house and keep renting it without any impact on the person who originally rented it?"

Zhou Yi snapped his fingers: "Talking to smart people is worry-free!"

But Schultzer was puzzled: "Why is it so troublesome?"

"Ahem, that's it..." In fact, the house Zhou Yi was going to buy was the one he rented with Cortana, but how should he explain it to Shulce without making him doubt his motives?

Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something. He said before that after staying together for a long time, cats and dogs can also get along with each other, and of course the house is the same.

So he said to Shulze: "That is the house I have been renting before. After living there for a long time, I think the house is good and I have feelings for it, so I want to buy it."

"There are other people living there?" Shulce was surprised. He didn't expect that the great star Zhou Yi would share the rent with someone...

Zhou Yi nodded awkwardly: "Anyway, I don't want to disturb others, otherwise if someone complains to the media and I drive people out in order to buy a house, that wouldn't be good for my reputation, right?"

This explanation makes sense, and Schultze didn't doubt it anymore.

"I have lived in the house for a long time and I am very familiar with it, so don't go to see the house. Just contact the agent and the landlord to buy it. The original lease remains unchanged, and just count the subsequent rent into the house price." Zhou Yi was afraid that Shulce would meet Cortana when he went to see the house. As a player agent, how could he not know the team doctor in the club?

It will be embarrassing then.

In the past two years, he met and chatted with Shulce. He either used the phone or made an appointment to go out to the restaurant outside. He would not let Shulce drive to pick him up. He did not invite his teammates to come to his house, even if the relationship was good, nor did he hold a party at home or invite his friends to participate in such a thing...

I am afraid that I will have misunderstandings that I shouldn’t have when I see people and things I shouldn’t have.

This is like hiding a beautiful woman in the golden house, but unfortunately Zhou Yi is not really hiding a beautiful woman in the golden house.

I used to be troublesome, but I was not very famous at that time, and Zhou Yi's thinking was not out of the scope of an ordinary loser, so I didn't think so much.

Later, he became more and more famous and paid more attention to him. Zhou Yi had to cover up his life as an agent.

Now that I have a house that belongs entirely to him, Zhou Yi does whatever he wants. He can invite Mark and his teammates to play games and hold parties at his house, or ask his agent Shultze to come directly to his house to talk about private matters with him. He is not afraid of paparazzi taking secret photos outside.

Thinking of such a future, it should be easy, right?

However, when Zhou Yi stood at the door of the room where his personal belongings had been removed, he did not feel any relaxed, and instead felt a little sad.

Cortana looked at his motionless back and asked, "You should be happy to change the mansion. Why are you in a bad mood?"

Zhou Yi turned around and looked at him, then looked at the empty room again: "If you leave a place you are used to living in and go to a new unfamiliar environment, you will always be worried about gains and losses."

“I think most professional players are people who like to pursue adventure and excitement.”

"I'm not a gypsy." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes to Cortana. "I'm Chinese, and we Chinese people value 'nostalgia'."

“Is this the reason you didn’t choose to leave Dortmund this summer?”

Zhou Yi was stunned by Cortana's question, and then realized that it seemed that there was such a meaning in it...

He turned around and looked at Cortana and said seriously: "You're right. I like Dortmund, I like this team and the people here."

Cortana looked at Zhou Yi's eyes and suddenly became a little panicked - they had never used such serious eyes to look at each other. So she hurriedly turned her head and looked at the gate. She found a topic to divert attention: "I thought you were looking for a moving company to move things."

"Hey, there aren't many things, I just put the trunk of my car." Zhou Yi stopped staring at Cortana.

What he said was the truth, not the truth. In the years he was renting a house in Dortmund, he did not buy any furniture, there were no large items, and he didn't need a truck to load and unload. But it wasn't right to say that there weren't many things. At least the clothes were filled with two large suitcases, let alone computers, books, and some miscellaneous things... Those two large suitcases could not be fully loaded in the trunk.

"I really don't know that the C-class trunk is so storied." Cortana teased.

Zhou Yi coughed: "Okay, add the back seat and install it."

Cortana looked at Zhou Yi who was embarrassed and laughed silently.

I felt a little embarrassed by Cortana's view. This time it was Zhou Yi's turn to change the topic.

He decided to say goodbye.

"I'm still grateful for your care in the past few years."

"I didn't take care of anything..." Cortana curled her lips and spread her hands.

“The steak is delicious.”
