Chapter 2 New Life
Before signing the contract, Hannah also showed Zhou Yi the house's "energy certificate" to prove the house's energy efficiency. Zhou Yi was very strange about this move. Hannah explained that it was the tenant's legal right to check the energy certificate, so she had to show it. Even if Zhou Yi didn't say anything, she would still do it. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, she will be responsible.
Although Hannah doesn't feel like a German to Zhou Yi most of the time, it can still be seen from this detail that Hannah has German genes.
After Zhou Yi and Hannah signed the rental agreement, they returned to Mark's house.
He told Mark that he had found a house and would move there tomorrow.
But for some reason, Zhou Yi didn't tell Mark that he lived under the same roof as his sister by accident...
Seeing that Zhou Yi found the house so quickly, Mark felt a little regretful, and pulled Zhou Yi to fight him for 300 rounds in the game.
For these good friends, it is really not easy to sit in front of the TV and play games every night in the future.
The next day, Zhou Yi packed all his luggage—in fact, it was just two boxes and a backpack.
But this is still one more box than when he came.
Standing in the room, Zhou Yi looked around, looking at the place where he had eight months of memories for the last time.
Here, he changed from a rookie who had just come into contact with formal professional football training to a professional player.
Here, he completed a growth and leap in his life.
Just like the Novice Village in an online game, if he has accumulated enough experience here and reached a sufficient level, he should go to the new map. It is impossible to always stay in the Novice Village where there is no danger.
"Zhouyi!" Mark called him downstairs, "The car is here!"
Zhou Yi hurriedly picked up the box with each hand, and walked out of the room.
Originally, Mark asked him if he needed his father to send him, but Zhou Yi refused, and he told Mark that it was because he wanted to be self-reliant.
But in fact, the real reason in his heart is that Zhou Yi doesn't want Mark's father to see him living with his daughter...
For some reason, although Zhou Yi agreed to live with Cortana, deep down in his heart, he seemed unwilling to let the Mark family know about it. It's as if he has done something shameful...
Zhou Yi said goodbye to Mark and Mrs. Wagner at the door with his luggage. He also declined Mark's request for help for the same reason.
"Goodbye, Mrs. Wagner. Although I don't live in your house anymore, Mark and I are friends forever, and I will visit you often."
Mrs. Wagner hugged Zhou Yi, with tears in her eyes: "You must come here often, and I will make delicious food for you, all delicious meat!"
Zhou Yi smiled, Mrs. Wagner still remembered that he was going to gain weight.
Then Zhou Yi and Mark hugged and said goodbye: "Let's not talk so much, I will wait for you in the first team, Mark."
"Okay!" Mark nodded.
Then Zhou Yi put the suitcase in the trunk of the taxi, got into the car, closed the door, and waved goodbye to Mark and his son through the window. The car started, and he just left here.

When Zhou Yi came to his new home,
Neither Hannah nor Cortana was there, they were both in class, but Hannah had already given Zhou Yi the keys yesterday, so Zhou Yi didn't need them to wait at home.
He opened the door, moved all the luggage in, and then started tidying up his room. He took out the clothes from the box and hung them in the closet, took out the computer from his backpack and put them on the table, spread the sheets on the bed, and put the quilt back on. The toiletries were taken to the bathroom and placed in a place specially vacated for him.
The remaining miscellaneous things are put in the box, and the box is locked and placed in the corner.
Done.
Zhou Yi stood in the packed room, looking at the space that belonged to him. He will live here from now on.
And still living with two women...
The thought of living with two single women made Zhou Yi feel a little...complicated.
Zhou Yi, who was sweating a little after cleaning the house, decided to take a shower.
While taking a bath in the bathroom, Zhou Yi noticed that there were two sets of toiletries with very different styles. One set contained a lot of things, all kinds of bottles and cans. Zhou Yi didn’t know his name, he never saw it at all. Pass.
It must be without Hannah.
Another set is much simpler, only a little more than Zhou Yi's, so it must be Cortana's.
This is quite in line with the image of Cortana observed by Zhou Yi. She doesn't seem to be the kind of woman who likes to spend a lot of effort on her face.
Of course, people are also qualified to do so. "Natural beauty" is used to describe people like Cortana.
Based on Zhou Yi's experience in Germany for more than half a year, compared with women in China, European women's skin is indeed generally not very good. It is said that they regard freckles as their beauty, so it is often seen in some advertisements The female model has freckles all over her face, but they don't use whitening cream or foundation to cover them up.
And Cortana has no freckles on her face, and her skin is fair and delicate. With such skin, what are you doing with so many messy things?
Zhou Yi's bathing utensils are the simplest, a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of conditioner, a bottle of shower gel, and that's it.
As a man, bathing is also very fast.
After taking a shower, the room was still quiet. Zhou Yi went back to his room and turned on the computer to surf the Internet.
He left a message to his father on QQ, telling him that he had moved out of Mark's house and found a house to share with others.
But for the same psychological reason, Zhou Yi did not tell his father that he lived with Mark's sister...

When Hannah and Cortana walked to the door chatting, Hannah who was chatting and laughing suddenly stopped.
Cortana keenly noticed this change in Hannah.
"What's the matter, no Hannah?" she asked.
"Uh, no, it's nothing." Hannah opened the door, and then looked inside.
"A new tenant?" Cortana guessed.
"Ah yes, am I watching him come..."
"Then why do you have to act like a thief?" Cortana felt strange and walked in first.
At the same time, Zhou Yi, who heard the door knock, got up and walked out of his room. The two met in the living room.
Cortana froze.
Zhou Yi, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his hand to greet Cortana: "Hi, I'm your new roommate..."
Konata, who came back to her senses, interrupted Zhou Yi's self-introduction in surprise and said, "You are surprisingly similar to someone I know."
"Oh? Really?" Zhou Yi also made a surprised expression. "That person must have left an extremely deep impression on you, so that you can still remember his appearance."
Hannah in the back was a little dumbfounded - why can't I understand the conversation between them at all? What the hell are these two doing?
"No." Cortana shrugged. "It's just that in my opinion, East Asians all look alike."
Zhou Yi frowned and said, "Prosopagnosia is a kind of mental illness, big sister."
"You have a mental illness, Zhou Yi." Cortana didn't hold back in the end.
Zhou Yi pretended to be surprised: "Hey, have you recovered from face blindness?"
"Why is he our new roommate?" Cortana ignored him, turning to Hannah instead.
Hannah shrugged: "How do I know? He sent me an email, I replied to him, and then I made an appointment for an interview. I didn't expect it to be him. I think this must be God's arrangement!"
"God, the old man is really bored." Cortana muttered, and then turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Did Hannah tell you the rules of sharing the house?"
Zhou Yi didn't speak, and Hannah said beside him: "Of course, I told him everything, he knows."
"What about the rules for using the bathroom?"
"Ah... I forgot about this."
"Okay." Konata looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Because there is only one bathroom, which is shared by three people, so please don't occupy the bathroom for a long time."
"Don't worry, I'm not constipated." Zhou Yi said.
"That's good." Cortana stretched out her hand to Zhou Yi, "Welcome."
"Thank you." Zhou Yi also held Cortana's hand.
This was the second handshake he and Cortana had had since they met... eight months, the second handshake.

After arriving home, Hannah and Cortana went to the supermarket to buy some things again. Hannah warmly asked Zhou Yi if he wanted to go with him. It happened that Zhou Yi also wanted to get acquainted with the neighborhood, so he readily agreed.
So the group of three got into a second-hand Volkswagen driven by Hannah, and drove to the supermarket five kilometers away from where they lived.
I bought some necessities in the supermarket Zhouyi, including ingredients. After all, he was going to cook by himself.
In fact, Zhou Yi knows how to cook. When he was still in China, if his parents worked overtime and other special circumstances, he would cook for himself.
So he has the culinary foundation.
After shopping, the three of them ate in a restaurant near the supermarket. Originally, Zhou Yi wanted to invite two girls. After all, from the perspective of income, he earned much more than the two girls.
But Cortana rejected Zhou Yi's proposal.
"Hannah and I have always been on the AA system."
Hannah also testified: "Yes, the AA system is very good, Zhou Yi. You live with us, and you should get used to the AA system. Although I know you must be richer than both of us."
Zhou Yi didn't insist anymore, so the three of them ate a meal together. Under Hannah's suggestion, the three of them also clinked glasses with fruit juice and soda, which was regarded as a "welcome new roommate" ceremony.
After dinner, the three of them drove back. Zhou Yi, as the only man this time, helped the two girls move their shopping from the car to the house, but Cortana did not refuse.
In this way, Zhou Yi officially moved into this house, became roommates with two beauties with very different personalities, and started his new life.

PS, yesterday I saw some people express dissatisfaction with me every day, saying that it is easier to reduce and more difficult to add.
So I think it is necessary to report to you my life status in the past few days, especially after the annual meeting.
In fact, it is a personal matter and has nothing to do with work. I don't like to talk about it, but since some people are confused, I will explain it.
When I returned from the annual meeting on the 7th, I wrote a chapter on the plane, which was the last chapter I wrote during this period.
From returning home on the 7th to last night, I didn't write a single word.
Why?
On the 9th, my wife's grandmother's 89th birthday. It is not easy for the elderly to reach this age. The whole family wanted to do something special and commemorative, that is, to make a video of all the old photos in the previous home. I volunteered because I had previous experience doing video editing for games.
But I didn't expect to go to the annual meeting later, so this matter was squeezed after I came back from the annual meeting.
From collecting photos of several families, to determining the structure and theme of the video production, and choosing the available photos from hundreds of photos, as well as choosing music, making subtitles, and writing copywriting...
I started to get all the photos on the 8th, and I worked all day until I went to bed at six in the morning on the 9th, and then got up at ten o'clock to go to the banquet, and broadcast the things I made at the birthday party .
I fell asleep in the afternoon because I was so tired.
In the end, I don’t know if it was because of staying up late. I have caught a cold since the night of the 9th. As a result, I had to go out to meet people on the 10th, so another day was delayed.
This is the state of my life. There are many things, and they are all rushed together.
These things are said like making excuses, but in fact it depends on how to understand them.
Don't I hope that there will be a lot of manuscripts, and it can explode?
But if you can't write, you can't write, and if you don't have energy, you don't have energy. Besides, the third volume has just begun, and all the clues have to be straightened out at this time. Anything that is forced to write will probably make me spend a whole lot of time in the future. A roll is painful.
So start very slowly.
I'm sorry that I can't guarantee two updates a day. The time I spend thinking about this book is far longer than the time I actually start typing. I think this is the difference.
