Champion’s Heart

? ♂,

When Cortana returned to the apartment, from the outside, the house was pitch black, with no light leaking out.

Seeing this, Cortana thought to herself that that bastard Zhou Yi must have checked into a room with his female classmate. Otherwise, why hadn't he gone home even though it was so late?

Speaking of female classmates, it might just be a one-night stand.

How many of these celebrities can resist the temptation of beauty?

Cortana felt a little unhappy when she thought that Zhou Yi was not exempt from vulgarity. After several years of contact, she had always thought that Zhou Yi was a breath of fresh air among star players, but now it seems that it is a mudslide.

Cortana, who was scorning Zhou Yi in her heart, opened the door with the key. Instead of turning on the light, she changed her shoes, took off her coat, and walked straight to her room.

But when walking through the living room without turning on the lights, Cortana always felt that something was in the living room, and she felt like she was being watched. This feeling gave her goosebumps and made her feel very uncomfortable. So she turned around and searched in the living room. When her eyes had completely adjusted to the darkness, she saw someone sitting on the sofa in the living room!

That person seemed to be staring at her!

Cortana was really startled. She screamed and the coat and bag in her hands fell to the ground with a crash.

When she screamed, the dark figure said: What are you doing? Did you see a ghost?

Cortana recognized that it was Zhou Yi's voice, and she realized that the black figure was her roommate... It was a false alarm!

She let out a long breath, then rolled her eyes in the dark night: What the hell are you pretending to do if you sit here without turning on the light?

The black figure laughed: I'm just too lazy to turn on the light. I didn't expect to be able to see another side of the always cold beauty. It's such an unexpected surprise.

Cortana heard the joking in Zhou Yi's tone. But this time she was not very angry. Instead, she felt a little relieved after knowing that the black shadow was not a gangster with ulterior motives but Zhou Yi.

I'm surprised that you will come back, she said.

Isn't this unexpected? Isn't it normal to come back right after eating?

Are you really just meeting your classmates?

certainly.

Okay. Cortana was speechless.

Zhou Yi didn't say anything either.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Cortana was about to say good night to Zhou Yi and go back to her room, but at this moment, Zhou Yi said again: I was confessed to.

Cortana raised her eyebrows: That's not surprising.

How come you know everything? Zhou Yi was surprised.

It's just that you don't understand women. Cortana snorted. A girl specially chooses Christmas Eve to ask you out for dinner. It's just the two of you. Do you think it's just a simple reunion of classmates? If it's a reunion of classmates, why not any other time but Christmas Eve?

Facing Cortana's rhetorical question, Zhou Yi was speechless. He thought about this question while sitting in the living room, and it was similar to what Cortana said.

So she definitely didn't just have a meal with you, she definitely took the opportunity to do something.

No wonder you asked me to dress better and not be too casual...

Nonsense, it's basic etiquette to meet someone who likes you.

Zhou Yi sighed quietly in the darkness.

Hearing Zhou Yi's sigh, Cortana asked: What kind of girl is she?

Cortana didn't know why, but she suddenly became curious and gossipy. Logically speaking, this is someone else's private matter. If he doesn't want to talk about it, he shouldn't ask. Doing so would be suspected of inquiring. But Cortana was so curious, what would a girl who had something happened with Zhou Yi look like?

Zhou Yi actually did not refuse to disclose it, and directly told Cortana everything about the meeting between him and Zheng Lulu.

During this process, Cortana came over and sat on the sofa next to Zhou Yi and continued to listen.

※※※

After taking a shower and blow-drying her hair, Zheng Lulu sat on the bed with a towel on her face. She picked up her phone and took a look. Her roommate Catherine had sent her several messages, all of which were concerned about her and Zhou Yi's progress.

How was it? Did it go well?

How does it feel? Has he fallen under your spell?

Be proactive, Lulu! Don't be shy, come on!

Seeing these messages, Zheng Lulu felt her roommate's concern and gossip. She laughed, then picked up her phone and replied: I confessed to him.

Soon the phone rang, and Catherine replied almost instantly: How about it! Did he agree? The excited and expectant tone almost overflowed from behind the phone screen.

I left before he could answer.

Eh? Catherine was confused. Why?

Because I guess he will definitely reject me.

After sending this message, there was no reply from Catherine. Then Zheng Lulu's cell phone rang with an incoming call. She picked it up and saw that it was Catherine calling.

It seemed that Catherine thought it was too much trouble to send a message about this, so she just made a phone call.

When Zheng Lulu picked up the answer, she heard Catherine's excited voice: Lulu, what's going on? Rejection? Why? Why would he reject you? You are such an outstanding girl, and he wants to reject you? Is he blind? Lu Lu, do you know how popular you are? For a girl like you to take the initiative to pursue a boy is that boy's blessing! He still wants to refuse? Is there something wrong with his brain?

Zheng Lulu never told Catherine Zhou Yi's true identity. She didn't even tell Catherine Zhou Yi's name. She just used her high school classmate and crush to refer to him.

After listening to Catherine's complaint, Zheng Lulu said, Don't get excited, Catherine. Everyone has the right to choose, right? He can accept it or not. Isn't this something incomprehensible?

That's what I said, Lulu... Catherine also realized that she was a little too excited, But why does your tone sound so calm? Don't lose your longing and passion for love...

Where is the peace? In the taxi from the restaurant back to the hotel, she cried all the way.

Who can be calm and calm after falling in love? Even if it's a secret love.

I just suddenly figured it out, Catherine. Zheng Lulu said. Love shouldn't be forced. If I use all my efforts over the past few years to force him to accept me, that's not called love, that's called blackmail. Such love won't have a good outcome. It's just a love affair. I know he I don’t know about the secret love, I just need to express my feelings, it doesn’t matter whether he accepts it or not...

※※※

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Cortana frowned and said, What an amazing girl. She can make such a change for you. It's unbelievable...

Hey, why do I feel like you're saying that I'm not worthy of letting a girl do so much? Zhou Yi protested.

Don't be too sensitive, I didn't mean it. Cortana said with a straight face.

You usually insult me ​​too much. Zhou Yi argued.

Did I? Cortana spread her hands, looking innocent.

Yes. Zhou Yi said without hesitation and decisively.

Then you've always been sensitive. Cortana made the final verdict.

Haha. Zhou Yi smiled softly.

Then do you like her? Cortana changed the subject naturally.

Zhou Yi shook his head: If you like her in the sense of 'love', then I don't like her. If you like her in a normal sense, then I like her. I like her confident and cheerful look. I think this is good.

So you rejected her?

No, she said that Datong turned around and left. I didn't react at all...

Cortana clicked her tongue: I'm still not confident enough.

She is afraid of being embarrassed by being rejected in person...

Actually, I heard you say that this girl is quite good, with good character and good looks. Why can't you have a relationship with her? Cortana was very curious.

There are many very good people in this world, but they may not be what I like, right? She is very good, very good. She can definitely find someone who loves her very much. Why should she be with me? What a waste of time? Zhou Yi asked Cortana.

Facing Zhou Yi's rhetorical question, Cortana had nothing to say. She admitted that Zhou Yi was right. There are indeed many perfect people in this world. They or they are perfect lovers and partners in the eyes of many people, but she may not be one of those many people.

She won't force herself to be with a good guy she doesn't like.

※※※

You still thank him? Catherine was surprised.

Why not? Zheng Lulu said. When a girl is not confident, she can meet a person who makes her work hard to change herself. I now feel that this is the luckiest thing for me. Because of him, I changed myself. Even if I can't get his acceptance, I will I have a different future. He appeared in my life and gave me the motivation to change. He made me who I am now. Why can't I thank him?

Hearing what Zheng Lulu said, Catherine on the other end of the phone fell silent.

She didn't know how to refute this roommate, because she also felt that Lulu was right.

It is indeed a very lucky thing to meet someone in your life who makes you willing to change yourself, work hard to improve yourself, and make yourself better...

So I'm actually quite happy now, Catherine. I finally had the courage to speak my mind in front of him, and I gave myself an explanation. From now on, I don't have to carry the burden and move forward. I think I can start a new life.

Hearing Zheng Lulu's words, Catherine also became happy: Then you come back as soon as possible, I want to take you to celebrate! Then I will introduce you to many outstanding boys! You can choose as you like!

Thank you Catherine, but I don't want to start a new relationship so early... Zheng Lulu smiled.

Just after she finished speaking, there was a sound of fireworks bursting out of the hotel window. Zheng Lulu got out of bed and walked to the window, opened the window screen a crack, and looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky outside.

Only then did she realize that Christmas 2012 had already arrived.

Merry Christmas, Catherine, I'm setting off fireworks in Dortmund. They're so beautiful! She looked up at the night sky, and the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, reflecting on the glass window and in her eyes.

Merry Christmas, Lulu! There are also fireworks here in Heidelberg to watch!

※※※

Since you have thought so thoroughly, why are you sitting here pretending? Cortana asked Zhou Yi.

Can't I just be in a daze? Zhou Yi spread his hands. And who knows, you will come back. Today is Christmas Eve. The most important day for you in the West is similar to our Chinese New Year's Eve. If you don't spend the night at home, what are you doing here?

I'm happy, but do you care? Cortana snorted.

At this moment, in the night sky outside the glass window of the living room opposite them, a red firework was blooming, and then various green and yellow fireworks appeared one after another, and then the crackling sound reached their ears.

Dortmund's Christmas fireworks show begins.

The two people's attention was completely attracted by this scene, and they forgot about the bickering, and both looked at the beautiful scene in the night sky outside the window.

When the last firework in the night sky went out, Zhou Yi and Cortana said to each other almost at the same time: Merry Christmas.

Such synchronization surprised both of them, and they were a little stunned, but they soon started laughing.

Good night, handsome boy. Cortana waved to Zhou Yi.

Can you remove the word 'little'? Zhou Yi protested, It sounds like I'm underage.

It was you who called me 'eldest sister' first. Cortana disagreed.

You are indeed older than me... Zhou Yi spread his hands.

You are indeed younger than me. Cortana said confidently.

Okay, I won't call you 'eldest sister' anymore... Zhou Yi had no choice but to surrender.

But I quite like calling you 'little handsome guy'. Cortana smiled slyly, then quickly dodged into the room, shutting out Zhou Yi's protest. (To be continued.)
