Chapter 228 Sister’s Secret

When Zhou Yi went to the training base to train the next day, he was blocked by reporters in front of the training base gate.

These reporters who came to wait outside the training base early were actually there to block him, because they couldn't block other players. With the only player on the team who didn't drive, they were able to get up close and personal with him, ask their questions and hopefully get his answers before he walked through the doors of the training ground.

Today's questions are all related to Mark Wagner's injury, because everyone knows that Zhou Yi is Mark's good friend.

"I feel sorry and sad for his injury, but I am not desperate," Zhou Yi said. "We will wait for him, wait for the day when he recovers from injury. Then I will smile and hug him and tell him, welcome back."

After speaking, Zhou Yichang smiled and nodded at the reporters, and then walked into the training base.

The reporters stared blankly at his back, recalling the meaning of his words in their hearts.

As Mark's best friend, he didn't seem too distraught and spoke with hope.

But everyone can understand him. Mark's operation was successful. Zhou Yi's smile must be because he knew the news.

At times like this, hope is more important than anything else.

After a day of training, Zhou Yi returned home again. He was the only one in the house. Hannah was absent all year round. It was normal for Zhou Yi to not see Cortana today. After all, her brother was so seriously injured, and as a sister, he must be by his side.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Zhou Yi began to busy making dinner in the kitchen. Although his cooking skills were still far behind Cortana's, but he didn't need to be too particular about eating by himself, as long as he could fill his stomach. become.

But just when Zhou Yi put the meat to his mouth and was about to bite it, there was a sound from the door lock, and then the door was pushed open.

Then Cortana appeared in front of him.

Zhou Yi kept the action of feeding himself meat, tilted his head and looked at Cortana who appeared in front of him in surprise.

"Is it so unpalatable? Can't you even eat it?" Cortana asked looking at Zhou Yi.

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yi reacted when he heard the words, took the piece of meat on the fork into his mouth, and then started chewing.

But I just took two bites.

He spat it all out with a sigh: "Damn, I forgot to put the salt!"

Cortana walked up, picked up Zhou Yi's dinner plate, carried it straight to the kitchen, and swept everything in it into the trash can.

"Hey, what are you doing..." Zhou Yi finally reacted.

"I'll do it for you," Cortana said.

So Zhou Yi stopped talking, but he really liked eating the food cooked by Cortana.

It didn't take long before a plate of fragrant pan-fried pork chops was served on the table.

Zhou Yi took a bite, it was tender and juicy...

"Isn't it much more delicious than the garbage you make?" Cortana asked.

"Well, I added salt this time!"

Cortana pouted.

After Zhou Yi swallowed the piece of meat, he did not continue eating. Instead, he put down his knife and fork and looked up at Cortana: "Why are you back? Mark is discharged from the hospital?"

Cortana nodded, and then said, "I'm back to pack my things and move home tomorrow."

"Can't stand it anymore?" Zhou Yi was not surprised. Since Cortana is a top student in sports medicine, of course she has to be by her brother's side to take care of him.

"Don't ask for my room," Cortana said. "It's just that I can't live there for the time being."

"Come back in ten months?"

"Maybe it won't take ten months."

"That's good."

The topic ended here, Zhou Yi bowed his head and ate meat.

Then he heard the sound of Cortana getting up, because Cortana was going to her room to pack things. Unexpectedly, there was a thud soon. He raised his head and found that Cortana put a bottle of red wine in front of him. .

At the same time, Cortana shook the two cups in her hands: "Have a drink with me."

She didn't use a questioning tone, but said it in a way that she couldn't easily refuse.

Although Zhou Yi was a little surprised, he did not refuse: "Okay."

Cortana put down the two glasses, opened the wine, and poured it directly into the glasses, not caring about sobering up.

Then she drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this was a toast...

Cortana, who was the first to do it first, looked at Zhou Yi with an empty cup. Under her gaze, Zhou Yi had no choice but to pick up the cup and drink it all in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and said, "It's time for a drink..."

"Have another drink," Cortana interrupted.

"..." Zhou Yi looked at Cortana, his eyes rolled, and he seemed to understand something, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll drink with you!"

So they drank one cup after another. Cortana didn't say anything in the meantime, just drank.

Zhou Yi didn't even have time to eat a bite of meat, he was all drinking with Cortana.

Soon, the bottle of dry red wine was empty.

When the last drop of wine was poured into the glass, Cortana didn't drink it all in one gulp, but didn't drink it at all.

She picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it. She just squinted at the red wine sloshing in the glass. Through the glass, she saw Zhou Yi opposite him. Because of the curved wall of the glass, Zhou Yi's face was distorted and looked funny.

Cortana smiled, and then suddenly asked: "Do you think I am incompetent?"

Zhou Yi was very surprised: "Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Because I studied sports medicine, but I still got Mark injured..."

Zhou Yi raised his hand: "I didn't think about it that way. And if you want Mark to avoid injury, there is no use in studying sports medicine. You have to study theology and pray to God every day."

Cortana heard the ridicule in Zhou Yi's words, so she smiled: "Don't you always wonder why I still want to study sports medicine when I hate athletes so much?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's quite strange. I even doubt whether you are a masochist."

"You are M!" Cortana rolled her eyes at Zhou Yi, then put down her wine glass and lowered her head. "Do you know why Mark plays football?"

"Why?"

"Mark has been weak since he was a child and gets sick easily. He only started playing football for the purpose of exercising."

Zhou Yi thought about Mark's physical statistics when he first saw him. He was indeed not a physically strong person. That's why he was pinned down by Schneider at the time and had no chance of turning over.

So he believed that Macca's body must not have been very good when he was a teenager.

"At that time, Mark's body was thin compared with his peers. He was often attacked by his opponents on the court. They regarded him as a soft persimmon that was easy to bully and could be rubbed at will. So Mark was often injured at that time... …”

Cortana spoke eloquently, and in her narration with no rhythm, Zhou Yi seemed to be able to fully imagine the situation of young Mark.

"I advised Mark not to take football too seriously, but he had already regarded becoming a professional player as his dream, and seemed to have forgotten that he only played football because he wanted to exercise in the first place. So I thought, what if My younger brother insists on playing professional football, so at least I want him to suffer less injuries in the future... So I chose to major in sports medicine when I was in college."

Zhou Yi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Cortana chose sports medicine for this reason...

This is really a dear sister, a dear sister who loves deeply!

"I wanted to protect my brother, I wanted to avoid injuries, I wanted him to fulfill his dream...but in the end I still couldn't stop his injury..."

"I've said it before, you're just a team doctor, not a god, how could you prevent him from getting injured? Don't worry, Mark will get better, come back, and play football as before." Zhou Yijianke Tana was so emotional that she almost reached out and patted Cortana on the back, but in the end she didn't dare to do so and just comforted her with words.

"Liar." Cortana didn't seem to appreciate it, and glanced at Zhou Yi, "After the anterior cruciate ligament is ruptured, no matter how you recover, it is impossible to be exactly the same as before the injury."

"I'm just using a metaphor to describe the modification. Don't take it too seriously... Of course, the way you play football will be different from before the injury, but there is always a way. No one stipulates that football can only be played that way. Maybe Mark needs to change after his comeback. When it comes to the style of playing, it's not a big problem. Mark himself is not the kind of player who relies on his body to make a living, so he should be able to adapt to the new style quickly."

Zhou Yi said to Cortana.

Cortana knows much more about sports medicine than Zhou Yi. But when it comes to football, Zhou Yi definitely knows more than Cortana. When Zhou Yi said this, Cortana couldn't refute it.

So she said: "Let's just...believe you."

"Hey! What do you mean you just believe me? I'm sure that after Mark comes back from injury, he will definitely be reborn and appear in front of the world with a brand new attitude!" Zhou Yi was very confident in his friend.

"Thank you for your good words." Cortana smiled sweetly at Zhou Yi, and then drank the last wine left in the glass.

Then she put her hands on her body, stood up from the chair, turned and walked towards her bedroom.

"Goodbye, China boy. I won't see you for a few months, but don't be pretentious, I won't miss you."

After saying that, she waved her hands and walked into her bedroom without looking back.

Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at the closed bedroom door, frowning.

It seems like she really drank too much...How could we not see her for several months? We are still at the Dortmund club! (To be continued.)
