Chapter 30: 18 Years Old

Wang Le suggested that after Zhou Yi gained weight, he did not arrange specific training content, but indicated that today's training can stop here.

After Zhou Yi has experience in physical training, it is no longer surprising. I don't know if it's all because of the physical coaching staff, I feel that they all act in the same style.

Wang Le also told Zhou Yi that he must gain weight quickly, so that the effect of strength training will be the best. It is difficult to develop any strength with a reed stick because the foundation is weak.

Zhou Yi is no stranger to the term "weight control". When watching the news, it often appears during the winter break or during the pre-season training camps of each season. It means that some players are overweight and need to lose weight.

Therefore, Zhouyi has always believed that the synonym of "weight control" is "lose weight".

But in fact, there is another meaning, that is, "gain weight".

In the car, after listening to Zhou Yi's story, Mark looked at Zhou Yi, then nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are indeed too thin Zhou Yi, how much do you weigh now?"

Zhou Yi recalled: "The last time I weighed was during the physical examination for joining the team. It weighed 58 kilograms and was 175 centimeters tall."

"I'm about the same height as you, and I'm 65 kilograms, so I'm still considered skinny. You're really going to gain weight!"

Back at Mark's house, Zhou Yi got out of the car and found that the windows, which are always on, were dark today. He was still very surprised.

"Is there a power outage?"

But as soon as I turned around, I saw the light cast from the window of someone else's house across the road, reflecting on the sidewalk outside the window.

"No one at home? Mark, where's your mother?"

"I don't know." Mark came down and shrugged, "Let's go in first."

He pushed Zhou Yi to the gate.

Then he took out the key and opened the door, but he didn't go in first, but let Zhou Yi go first.

Zhou Yi had just bought the gate, when suddenly the dark room was brightly lit, and with a bang, colorful confetti exploded on top of Zhou Yi's head and fell down one after another.

This startled Zhou Yi. He put his head in his hands and squatted down quickly.

at the same time,

Mrs. Wagner jumped out and shouted: "Happy birthday! Zhouyi... Where is he?"

It was not Zhou Yi in front of her, but her son Mark.

Mark looked down, so Mrs. Wagner also looked down, and they saw Zhou Yi squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and looking up.

Zhou Yi thought something had exploded, but when he saw clearly the paper tube sprayed with ribbons in Mrs. Wagner's hand, he realized that he had overreacted...

It's not that something exploded, but when this thing spewed out.

Seeing Zhou Yi's appearance, Mrs. Wagner laughed: "Zhou Yi, you are so cute! I just want to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be frightened! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mrs. Wagner..." Amidst the laughter, Zhou Yi stood up resentfully from the ground. "This shows that my reaction is still very fast..."

After Zhou Yi stood up, Mrs. Wagner gave Zhou Yi another hug: "Happy birthday, Zhou Yi!"

"Birthday?"

Zhou Yi was stunned, and then he realized: "Today is the 22nd?"

"Yes, February 22nd, your eighteenth birthday!"

Zhou Yi froze in place.

He didn't expect Mrs. Wagner to know his birthday... No, it's nothing to know his birthday, because it's all public information, but Mrs. Wagner still remembered his birthday, which surprised him and was also very moved.

Because he himself has forgotten...

I am addicted to training all day long, and I almost have no concept of time.

With another bang, Mark rang the paper tube in his hand, and the ribbon sprinkled Zhou Yi's head.

"Happy birthday, man!"

Mark also sent his best wishes.

Old Wagner, who came in after parking the car, also smiled at Zhou Yi and said, "Happy birthday, Zhou Yi!"

In a foreign country, someone actually celebrated his birthday, Zhou Yi was very moved.

He rubbed his nose: "Thank you!"

"Don't say such things, Zhou Yi, you live in our house, you are our family!" Mrs. Wagner led Zhou Yi into the restaurant. "Today's dinner is very rich!"

Zhou Yi saw the birthday cake in the middle of the dining table at a glance.

If before today, faced with such a big cake, Zhou Yi would still hesitate in his heart. But now he has no burden in his heart.

In his eyes, the big cake has been transformed into a muscle.

Isn't the coach trying to make yourself gain weight?

Then eat hard!

※※※

Mrs. Wagner gave Zhou Yi all the beef on the plate after hearing her son tell the coach's request to Zhou Yi. Huge slices of roast beef served with rice and steamed carrots, cake, chocolate and ice cream for a super calorie meal.

But Zhou Yi needs such a diet now.

Speaking of rice, I have to say that Mrs. Wagner took care of Zhou Yi in every possible way.

Traditional Germans actually seldom eat rice. Even if they do, the rice they use and the cooking method are different from those in East Asia, so Zhou Yi was not used to the taste of rice at first.

Later, after Mrs. Wagner learned about it, she went to look up how to cook Chinese rice, bought a rice cooker in a Chinese supermarket in Germany, and cooked rice for Zhou Yi in the Chinese way, only for Zhou Yi to cook.

This moved Zhou Yi very much.

So now, he can eat rice that is slightly in line with Chinese tastes in Dortmund, Germany, thousands of miles away.

For that dinner, Zhou Yi ate a lot of cakes and a lot of meat until his stomach couldn't hold it anymore.

Seeing that Zhou Yi ate too much, Mrs. Wagner kindly made him a cup of black coffee to help him digest.

Holding the coffee, Zhou Yi went upstairs to his room, turned on the computer, and logged into QQ.

Just after going online, the avatar on the QQ icon kept flashing.

The beeping sound kept ringing.

Zhou Yi went up and found that the top one was his father's QQ avatar.

"Son, is it time for you to celebrate your birthday? Speaking of which, this is the first birthday we haven't celebrated together, but your mother still cooked a table of delicious dishes, all of which you like to eat. It's a pity that you won't be able to eat them, It’s all cheap for me! Hahahaha! I took some photos and sent them to you for a look, and you can have dinner with these photos!”

What followed was indeed "Mother's Dishes Ten Continuous Shots".

Ten photos, all different dishes.

Seeing these home-cooked dishes that are often eaten at home, Zhou Yi laughed, and he drank a big mouthful of bitter coffee. The meal has been finished, now I can only drink coffee with the photos.

"I'm eighteen, I'm an adult, I have to be more mature in my behavior, don't be childish, and have a good relationship with your teammates. In addition, I know that beer culture is very popular in Germany. You are already an adult, and drinking is legally controlled. No more. But as a player, things like alcohol should be less viscous. You can drink a little on special occasions, but not too much. Alcohol is not a necessity of life, and it will not affect your quality of life without it. Remember, remember ..."

"Also, you are already eighteen years old, it is natural to fall in love, and your mother and I will not care about you. But I still have some suggestions that I hope you can listen to-meet the right girl You can get along, but don’t put all your energy on the relationship between your children. You still have a long way to go in life. The first one you meet doesn’t mean you can stay with you until the end. Your mother is not your father and my first love... ...now your career is more important, it is normal for a man to start a career first and then start a family."

"Oh, your mother and I also discussed the issue of dating. You are in Germany. If you can become a professional player in the future, you must spend most of your time abroad. We don't force you to find Chinese girls. In fact, we Don’t care about nationality, the key is to be suitable. Chinese and foreign girls, as long as they are kind and treat you well, it’s fine. You can figure it out, as long as it’s your choice, we all respect your opinion...but still Bring it back for us to see! There is really no way to come back, so you have to send us the photo as soon as possible! Remember, this is very important!"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes—his father thought too long-term, didn't he? He didn't even think about it now!

He suddenly felt that when he turned eighteen, it was like he had reached the full level of a game. All the previously locked quest lines were unlocked, and new achievements appeared in front of his eyes, waiting for him to complete them.

Life suddenly becomes more colorful.

You can drink, you can also pick up girls.

When you go to the bar, you don’t need to drink juice, you can go to the bar to buy drinks from the bartender naturally...

It's nice to be an adult!

After reading his father's nagging on QQ, Zhou Yi replied below:

"Thank you mom for the dishes and dad for the photos you took, but I must say dad you were out of focus and some of the photos were blurry! I had a great birthday at Mark's house and the Mark family really treated me very well Okay, so you and mom don't have to worry about my life at all. I don't have much interest in alcohol, and I don't drink if there is no need. As for the girls... Dad, you think too much, my goal now is to play in the first team Going to the game! By the way, I have just been transferred from U17 to U19! I am only one step away from the first team!"

Because international long-distance calls are relatively expensive, Zhou Yi and his parents used the Internet to communicate. The advantage is that it saves money, and the disadvantage is that there is no way to communicate in real time, and only text can be seen, and no sound can be heard. Most of the time, Zhou Yi communicates with his parents through QQ, and only makes occasional phone calls. Considering the time difference and cost, he can only do it with him.

After leaving the message with his father, Zhou Yi continued to read other QQ messages, which were basically his high school classmates, and everyone wished him a happy birthday.

Everyone in Zhou Yi replied.

But when a person appeared on his screen, he froze for a moment.

Zheng Lulu's profile photo flickered, and when he clicked on it, he also wished himself a happy birthday.

Braces Girl Knows Her Birthday?

This was really beyond Zhou Yi's expectation.

You must know that the people who wished me a happy birthday before were all boys, classmates in the class and teammates of the school football team.

girl?

not a single one!

When Zhou Yi was in school, it seemed that he had no relationship with girls, and his relationship with girls was very ordinary. Of course, it also has something to do with him concentrating on football and being funny, and not getting close to girls.

But in the final analysis, Zhou Yi is not the type that girls are easy to like.

Especially in the eyes of girls, his character is too degrading...

I didn't expect the braces girl to remember her birthday.

Although Zhou Yi was a little surprised, he didn't delve into this issue. After all, his birthday is not a secret. His classmate has been in the same class for almost three years, and it is in the QQ information, which is public.

So it's not surprising.

Like replying to other classmates, Zhou Yi replied with a thank you and a smiley face. Then close the chat window.

At this time Mark poked his head in from the door: "Zhou Yi, special training?"

"Come!"

Zhou Yi buckled the lid of the laptop, got up and followed Mark to his room.
