Chapter 107: Lonely intolerable
At that dinner, the fried pork chop made by Cortana received unanimous praise. Finally, Zhou Jianliang proposed to award the best dish award for the meal to Cortana, which was approved unanimously. The prize was a box of Jingdezhen ceramic chopsticks.
As soon as the ceramic chopsticks with exquisite shape and high-tech craftsmanship were taken out, Cortana's eyes lit up. She was irresistible to this exotic craft.
Cortana, holding the ceramic chopsticks, smiled happily, and kept thanking Li Cuiyun who "presented her award".
Seeing that he smiled like a flower, Zhou Yi was also very eye-opening - he had known Cortana for several years and had lived together for a long time, and he had never seen Cortana smile so happily.
It's really strange that Cortana has such a tense relationship with her mother, but when she is with her mother, she can chat and laugh and have a lot of fun when she is with her mother.
The enthusiastic Li Cuiyun also taught Cortana to use chopsticks to tie her hair buns, which was a completely fresh experience for Cortana. She was also very interested and soon learned how to tie her hair buns with chopsticks. Cortana likes this kind of hair accessories with oriental characteristics.
※※※
After dinner, Cortana chatted with Li Cuiyun for a while under Zhou Yi's translation before getting up to say goodbye.
During the farewell, Li Cuiyun and Zhou Jianliang expressed their gratitude to Cortana again.
Cortana naturally said politely again that it was her duty, so there was no need to thank him too much, and then thanked Zhou Yi's parents for their hospitality.
Li Cuiyun once again praised Cortana's fried pork chop.
As a translator, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of the scenes of the meeting between the leaders of the two countries on the News Broadcast. It was such a strong sense of déjà vu...
But fortunately, the atmosphere is really harmonious, not the kind of "harmony" in the "diplomacy slander".
Finally, Li Cuiyun and Zhou Jianliang "ordered" Zhou Yi to send Cortana back.
Cortana still wanted to refuse, but Li Cuiyun was very persistent, believing that a man sending a lady home is a manifestation of politeness and upbringing. How can a lady go home alone?
Seeing Li Cuiyun insisting, Cortana had no choice but to agree.
So the two of them took the elevator to return to the underground parking lot.
After getting into the car, Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at Cortana who was sitting in the passenger seat, and his eyes were not taken back.
"What?" Cortana asked.
"Here." Zhou Yi pointed to the back of his head.
Cortana reached out and touched her and understood that the bun she had plated with chopsticks under the guidance of Zhou Yi's mother.
"Oh." She touched her, but she had no intention of removing it.
Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze, but his mind was still in his mind with Cortana holding a Chinese bun, which was a brand new image that appeared on Cortana. Her brown hair was tied up, revealing her white neck. Under the light outside, the fluff on her neck was shining with a glimmer of light...
This side made Zhou Yi's heart move.
He thought of the conversation with Groskreuz on the side of the training ground during the day today.
But he didn't say anything, but started the car and prepared to take Cortana home.
"Are you going home today..." Zhou Yi asked, fortunately he entered his destination on the navigation.
"Not going home." Cortana shook her head. She was not sure if her younger brother already knew. She didn't want to go back to face her family at this time, especially her younger brother. She didn't know what her younger brother thought about living with Zhou Yi from him...
"Oh." Zhou Yi began to enter his previous residence address on the navigation, which he was very familiar with.
After the navigation was successfully set up, he drove out of the underground parking lot.
While Zhou Yi was driving, Cortana lowered her head and fiddled with her cell phone.
At a place where you need to turn right, Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at the right rearview mirror, and glanced from the corner of his eye at the side of Cortana looking down at the phone.
His eyes would be unself-reliant, or it would be natural to stop on Cortana's bent neck.
The advantage of Western beauties is their beautiful outlines, and the silhouette of Cortana sitting in the passenger seat fully reflects this advantage. Although it is just a glance, it impressed Zhou Yi and couldn't help but want to take a look again and again.
Why didn’t I think Cortana’s neck curve looks so comfortable before?
After realizing that he actually liked Cortana, when Zhou Yi looked at her again, he felt as if it was the first time he met this woman, and he discovered many details that had never been discovered before.
No wonder people say "The lover's eyes are like Xi Shi"...
So Zhou Yi took advantage of every opportunity to turn right and change lanes to the right, and sneaked into Cortana.
Cortana seemed to be unaware of Zhou Yi's sneak shots and was still browsing her phone very seriously.
For a moment, no one was talking in the car, only the car audio was playing Chinese and foreign songs.
Just when Zhou Yi was about to drive the car to his destination, the car was just circulating in Lee Zongsheng's "Loneliness": "It's always easy to be sad for no reason. However, everyone is there, the joke is wonderful, why are you embarrassed to walk away alone... It's not that I have thought about just having a relationship... Loneliness is unbearable, loneliness is unbearable, love is the hardest waiting, love is the most distant future... Time is no longer, time is no longer, only one can cheer for oneself, only one can sad for oneself..."
Zhou Yi glared at the center control screen of his car, why did he suddenly jump to this song? Are cars now so smart?
In the carriage, Leehomie's hoarse voice was drumming, and the saxophone accompaniment was "whispering" over and over again: "I can't stand loneliness, I can't stand loneliness..."
In the past, it was just a song that was used by Zhou Yi as "background music" and had no sense of existence, but this time it was like a cat's claw, scratching his heart over and over again.
Zhou Yi is not a fan of Leehom. With his age and experience, many of Leehom's songs have no resonance with him. The reason why he can listen to Leehom's songs by driving is just a few classic songs in the huge music bag.
Who would have thought that at this moment, such a "sentence-to-scene" song would be played...
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly felt that he could understand Leehom's song.
It's like he's giving teammates a lot of assists on the court to help them shoot the ball into the goal.
The song suddenly rang at this time, making Zhou Yi feel as if it was an assist to him, reminding him that he should do something.
When the car was parked on the side of the road, Cortana put down her cell phone, unbuttoned her seat belt, and then prepared to open the door and leave.
Of course, she did not forget to thank Zhou Yi, after all, she sent her back specially.
"Thanks."
Zhou Yi: "You're welcome."
Cortana turned around and was about to open the door, but Zhou Yi stopped him: "Hey, wait."
Cortana put her hand on the door handle and looked back at Zhou Yi, with doubt in her eyes.
Zhou Yi looked at her eyes, but almost fell into her bright eyes.
He suddenly became a little cowardly and shook his head and said, "Uh, nothing, it's okay..."
Although Cortana found it strange, she did not ask questions, but drove the car and got out.
Then she closed the car door and turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Zhou Yi remembered Groskreuz's words. Orientals are shy in their relationship...
I, Zhou Yi, are not such people!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi put down the car window and shouted to Cortana's back: "Hey! Wait!"
Cortana looked back at him helplessly: "So what's wrong?"
Zhou Yi leaned forward and said loudly: "I like you, be my girlfriend!"
Cortana was stunned.
"Hey, did you hear it? I like you, Cortana, be my girlfriend!" Zhou Yi also took the initiative and repeated it again.
Cortana also reacted, and she smiled at Zhou Yi Yanran: "I'll consider it."
"Hey? What does this mean?" Zhou Yi didn't expect that such an answer would come. He thought that he would have two consequences after he confessed on his own initiative, either accepted by Cortana or rejected by Cortana. There was no third result.
But now Cortana gave him such an answer, considering it? What does that mean? Is it to consider whether to accept it or not? Do you still need to consider it if you want to accept it? If you don’t accept it, how can you consider it?
"It's just about thinking about it." After saying that, Cortana waved his hand to Zhou Yi, "Goodbye, handsome little guy."
At the same time, she turned around and walked towards the room.
"I'm twenty-two years old!" Zhou Yi protested in the car. "Where's the small one?"
"But you are indeed younger than me." Cortana waved his hand without looking back with a smile.
Zhou Yi did not see Cortana's smile. He only saw Cortana walking to the gate, taking out the key to open the door, then walking in, and closing the door. Then a light came from the living room window, and then Cortana's side silhouette walked over from the window and walked into her own room. Then the lights were on in her room. Cortana walked to the window, pulled up the curtains, and then Zhou Yi couldn't see anything.
He sighed.
I thought I would be very casual, but I did it very poorly.
