When Cortana arrived at the apartment, from the outside, the house was pitch black and there was no light leaking out.

Seeing this, Cortana thought that Zhou Yi must have checked in with a female classmate, otherwise it would have been so late, why didn’t she have a home yet?

What a female classmate is talking about, maybe it’s a one-night stand.

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

Thinking that Zhou Yi was not immune to the vulgarity, Cortana felt a little unhappy. After years of contact, she always thought that Zhou Yi was a clear stream among star players, but now it seems to be a mudslide.

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

But when she walked through the living room where the lights were not turned on, Cortana always felt something was being stared in the living room, which made her feel goose bumps and uncomfortable. So she turned around and searched in the living room. When her eyes had completely adapted to the darkness, she saw someone sitting in the sand in the living room!

The man seemed to be staring at her!

Cortana was really shocked. She screamed, and her coat and bag in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

As she screamed, the black shadow said, "What are you doing? Are you a hell?"

Cortana heard that this was Zhou Yi's voice, and she realized that this black shadow was her roommate's false alarm!

She let out a long sigh, then rolled her eyes in the dark: "Why are you pretending if you don't turn on the light to sit here?"

The black shadow smiled: "I just didn't bother to turn on the lights. I didn't expect to see the other side of the always cold beauty. It was a surprise."

Cortana heard the joke in Zhou Yi's tone. However, she was not very angry this time. Instead, she felt a little relieved after knowing that the black shadow was not a gangster with other intentions but Zhou Yi.

"I was just surprised, you will come again," she said.

"What's the surprise? It's coming after dinner. Isn't it normal?"

"Is it really just meeting classmates?"

"certainly."

"Okay." Cortana had nothing to say.

Zhou Yi didn't say anything either.

A sudden silence fell into the room.

Cortana was about to say good night to Zhou Yi, and put it in her room, but at this moment, Zhou Yi said again: "I was confessed."

Cortana raised an eyebrow: "It's no surprise."

"Why do you know everything?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

"You don't understand women." Cortana snorted. "A girl, I'm going to ask you out for dinner on Christmas Eve. You two are just a simple gathering of classmates? If it's a gathering of classmates, why isn't it any other time, but Christmas Eve?"

Facing Cortana's rhetoric, Zhou Yi was speechless. He thought about this question when he was sitting in the living room, and he also talked about it almost the same as Cortana.

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

"No wonder you told me to wear it better, don't be too casual"

"Speak nonsense, it is a basic etiquette to meet people who like you."

Zhou Yi in the dark sighed faintly.

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

Cortana didn't know why, but she suddenly became curious and gossiped. Logically, this was someone else's private matter. He didn't want to talk about it, so he shouldn't ask. Doing this is suspected of inquiring about it. But Cortana was so curious. What kind of person would a girl who gave birth to something between her and Zhou Yi look like?

Zhou Yi 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 ground next to Zhou Yi, continuing to listen.

After taking a shower, Zheng Lulu, who had her hair dry, sat on the bed wearing a bath towel. She picked up her phone and looked at it. Her roommate Catherine gave herself several messages, all of whom were concerned about her and Zhou Yi's progress.

"How is it? Is it going well?"

"How does it feel? Was he captured by your charm?"

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

Seeing these messages, Zheng Lulu realized the concern and gossip of her roommate. She laughed, then picked up her phone and replied: "I confessed to him."

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

"I left without waiting for him to answer."

"Eh?" Katherine was puzzled. "Why?"

"Because I guess he will definitely reject me."

After this message, Catherine did not reply. Then Zheng Lulu’s phone rang the ringtone of the call. When she picked it up, she saw that it was Catherine called.

It seems that Katherine thought the message said it was too troublesome, so she simply called directly.

Zheng Lulu heard Catherine's excited voice as soon as she picked it up: "What's wrong with Lulu? Reject? Why? Why did he refuse you? You are such an excellent girl, he wants to refuse? Are he blind? Lulu, do you know how popular you are? A girl like you takes the initiative to pursue a boy is the blessing of that boy! He still wants to refuse? Is there something wrong with his mind?"

Zheng Lulu never told her that Zhou Yi’s true identity to Catherine. She never even told Catherine Zhou Yi’s name, but just used her high school classmate and secret crush to be named.

After hearing Catherine's complaint, Zheng Lulu said: "Don't be excited, Catherine. Everyone has the right to choose, right? He can accept it or not. This is not an incomprehensible thing, right?"

"That's right, Lulu" Catherine also realized that she was a little too excited, "But why your tone sounds so calm? Don't lose your longing and passion for love."

Where was it calm? She cried all the way in the taxi from the restaurant and hotel.

Who can calm down when you break up? Even if it is a secret love.

"I just suddenly figured it out, Catherine." Zheng Lulu said. "Love should not be forced. If I force him to accept me with my contributions over the past few years, it is not love, it is threatening. Such love will not have a good result. It is originally a secret love that I know he does not know. I just need to express my feelings. It doesn't matter whether he accepts it."

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

"Hey, why do I feel like you said I'm not worth letting a girl do so much?" Zhou Yi protested.

"Don't be too sensitive, I don't mean that." Cortana said with a stern face.

"You usually criticize me too much." Zhou Yi argued.

"Do I have it?" Cortana spread her hands, looking innocent.

"Yes." Zhou Yi said without hesitation and decisively.

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

"Hehe." Zhou Yi smiled slightly and didn't laugh.

"Do you like her?" Cortana naturally switched the topic.

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

"So you rejected her?"

"No, she said that the big bus turned around and left, and I didn't react at all."

Cortana tweeted: "I'm still not confident enough."

"She is a little embarrassed to be rejected in person."

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

"There are many people in this world who are very good and very good, but that may not be what I like, right? She is very good, very good. She can find someone who loves her very much. Why do you want her to waste time on me?" Zhou Yi asked Cortana.

Faced with 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 in the eyes of many people, but there may not be one of them among the "many people".

She wouldn't force herself to be with a "good person" she doesn't like.

"You still thank him?" Katherine was surprised.

"Why not?" Zheng Lulu said. "When a girl is not confident, she can meet someone who makes her work hard to change herself. Now I think this is the luckiest thing for me. Because of him, I have changed myself. Even if I can't get his acceptance, I have a different future. His appearance in my life gave me the motivation to change. It was him who created me now. Why can't I thank him?"

Hearing Zheng Lulu say this, 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 lucky thing to meet someone in your life who will make you willing to change yourself, work hard to improve yourself, and make yourself better.

"So I'm actually quite happy now, Catherine. I finally have the courage to say what I think in front of him, and I gave myself an explanation. From now on, I can no longer walk forward with my burden on my back. I think I can start a new life."

Hearing Zheng Lulu's words, Catherine also became happy: "Then come quickly, I want to take you to celebrate well! Then we will introduce you to many excellent boys! You can choose whatever you want!"

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

Just after he finished speaking, a sound of fireworks blooming came from outside the hotel window. Zheng Lulu got out of bed and walked to the window, opened a crack in the window screen, and looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky outside.

She realized that Christmas in 2012 had arrived.

"Merry Christmas, Catherine, I'm driving fireworks in Dortmund, so beautiful!" She looked up at the night sky, and the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, reflected on the glass window, and also reflected in her eyes.

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

"Since you've thought so thoroughly, why are you sitting here pretending to be a ghost?" Cortana asked Zhou Yi.

"Can I stay?" Zhou Yi spread his hands. "And he knows you will come again. Today is Christmas Eve. The most important day in the West is similar to New Year's Eve in China. If you don't spend the night at home, what are you doing?"

"I'm happy, do you have any control?" Cortana snorted.

At this moment, in the night sky outside the glass window of the living room opposite them, a red firework was blooming, followed by various green and yellow fireworks, and then the crackling sound came to their ears.

The Christmas fireworks party in Dortmund has begun.

The two of them were all attracted by this scene, forgot to quarrel, and looked at the beautiful scene in the night sky outside the window in a daze.
