Chapter 109 for the purpose of marriage
Since Zhou Yi's parents left Dortmund and returned to China, Zhou Yi has lived with Cortana. It was very natural and there was no story in the middle. The two chose to live in Zhou Yi's newly bought apartment. After all, there were no paparazzi here who was outside the window for 24 hours to stick to the secret photos. They lived on the top floor of the apartment building, which further strengthened the difficulty of the paparazzi's secret photos.
But they have not officially announced their news to the outside world, and the outside world still does not know their relationship. From this point of view, Groskreuz's big mouth really keeps his promise and does not treat this matter as a big revelation to the news media.
No one of Dortmund's teammates missed it.
Zhou Yi took Cortana back to the latter's home and appeared in front of the Wagners and his wife as another identity.
Mark Wagner had known it a long time ago. After Zhou Yi and Cortana confirmed their relationship, they did not make a big splash in the team, but Mark knew that it was normal for Zhou Yi to get together with his sister, because only the two of them could be together in this world.
The Wagners and his wife were a little surprised.
"This..." Mrs. Wagner, who had always talked a lot, looked at Zhou Yi who was digging Cortana's hand in front of her, and was stunned and speechless.
At this time, Old Wagner seemed calmer and asked, "When did you two start?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's not long ago."
Mrs. Wagner sighed, and she finally came to her senses: "I never thought that one day, Cortana would come back to see us. I didn't expect that the man she brought back would be...you."
Zhou Yi scratched his head embarrassedly. Mrs. Wagner said this and he was like a thief lurking in her house and secretly digging the corner of her house. It seemed that from the moment he saw Cortana in this room, he had been deliberately trying to chase Cortana.
After sighing, Mrs. Wagner smiled and said, "Cotana is a girl who has been very opinionated since childhood. She always makes many choices that surprise us, and this time is no exception."
Of course I was surprised. You must know that Cortana had never concealed her prejudice against football players in front of her parents. Who would have thought that such a person would eventually find a football player to be her boyfriend?
Of course, Cortana knew this. In fact, she still kept asking herself sometimes. Did she be with that kid like this? Did she become a professional player’s girlfriend?
But after thinking about it, Cortana didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so she just got together.
It was easy and comfortable for her to get along with Zhou Yi, and Cortana thought that was enough.
During the meal, Zhou Yi told the Wagners and his wife about the things he had been hiding for a long time, that is, he had actually lived with Cortana for several years.
When Wagners heard about this, they were shocked at first, and then they understood why Cortana and Zhou Yi got together. After all, they had been together for a long time. If this was not the case, Cortana's sudden change would indeed surprise Wagners and could not figure it out.
But with the preparation of living together for the past few years, it seems that it will be natural for them to come together.
"I'm actually very happy that you can be together." Mrs. Wagner was very happy at the dinner table. "I hope you can go on a smooth journey. I know that professional players will always have scandals, but I believe you, Zhou Yi, you are not that kind of person. So I'm very happy and relieved to be with Cortana."
In fact, I had a lot of contact with Mrs. Wagner before, but today, Zhou Yi was a little nervous - he was meeting his mother-in-law!
Zhou Yi likes Cortana, so he didn't think about changing his new girlfriend with Cortana in a few years. He just went to get married.
Although he is a post-90s generation, it does not mean that he will not be conservative in certain matters.
Zhou Yi is very conservative in his relationships.
Because of this idea, Zhou Yi was very reserved when facing Mrs. Wagner, and was not as comfortable as before.
All of this naturally fell into Cortana's eyes.

After dinner at home, Zhou Yi and Cortana drove back to the apartment they are living in.
In the car, Cortana asked, "Are you a little nervous?"
"ah?"
"You are a little nervous in front of my mother. But it has never happened before. This is not the first time you have seen my mother." Cortana had long noticed that Zhou Yi is a bit abnormal today.
Zhou Yi understood why Cortana asked this, so he shook his head and said, "No, this is the first time I have met Mrs. Wagner in a brand new identity. Of course, I will feel a little different."
"Is my boyfriend's identity? That's nothing different."
"How come it's different? I will call your mother 'mom' in the future!" Zhou Yi said loudly.
Cortana was stunned for about a second or two before she realized what Zhou Yi meant. She teased: "We were just together, are you thinking about getting married?"
"Of course." Zhou Yi answered with confidence and decisiveness. "In our China, a great man once said: 'All love that does not aim for marriage is a hooligan'! I am not a hooligan, of course I want to marry you."
Cortana opened her mouth wide, what kind of Chinese great man could say such boring words...
Then she chuckled: "Are you proposing to me, Zhou Yi?"
"Uh..." Zhou Yi scratched his head. "No, isn't it going to be more formal in proposals?"
"Get married..." Cortana leaned on the back of the chair and murmured. For a long time, she never thought that she would enter the marriage hall with a man. She could not even imagine what she would become if she got married. Will she lose her independent personality and depend on her husband? If she had to maintain independence, would it affect her marriage?
But unexpectedly, tonight, Zhou Yi suddenly raised the topic of marriage to her.
She shook her head: "I'm afraid I can't agree to you, Zhou Yi."
"What?" Zhou Yi was surprised.
"I'm afraid I can't agree to marry you, Zhou Yi." Cortana repeated clearly.
"Why?" Zhou Yi almost couldn't even catch the steering wheel. He asked, "Don't you like me?"
"Of course I like you, little handsome guy." Cortana noticed Zhou Yi's emotional changes and laughed - Zhou Yi still cared about herself, which made Cortana very happy.
"Why don't you want to marry me?"
"The problem is not with you, the problem is with me, Zhou Yi. I have some... fear of marriage," Cortana explained.
There are not many people who are afraid of getting married. There are quite a few such people. Zhou Yi didn't expect that he would meet one.
Faced with such a result, Zhou Yi didn't know what to say, so he fell into silence.
Seeing Zhou Yi remained silent, Cortana felt a little reluctant, so she comforted her: "Sorry, Zhou Yi. Marriage has always been far away for me, maybe I am not ready yet. We were just together, and I don't want to make a decision so quickly. So let's get along as lovers first. Maybe in a few years, I will be ready?"
Hearing Cortana's comfort, Zhou Yi knew that Cortana was still caring about him, which made him feel better. So he smiled and comforted Cortana: "It's okay, I'm a little anxious."

As a football star, his performance on the court is of course highly anticipated, but his private life off the court is also the focus of everyone's concern.
Zhou Yi's love life has always been a topic of discussion. At the European Best Player Awards Ceremony not long ago, the female host asked Zhou Yi very gossipedly if he had a girlfriend, which shows how much attention everyone is paying attention to this question.
At that time, Zhou Yi used a clever answer to bypass it, but he couldn't keep making excuses.
Otherwise, everyone will soon guess whether Zhou Yi is a gay man...
Zhou Yi and Cortana's romantic relationship has been confirmed, and the next question is whether to make it public.
After all, some people don’t like journalists and media and are unwilling to live in the spotlight all day long.
There are many professional players' wives who are not very familiar to the outside world. They only know that he is married, but they don't know what his wife looks like and who she is.
However, on this issue, Zhou Yi and Cortana have a very consistent opinion, that is, there is no need to deliberately conceal it.
It’s not shameful to be together, so there is no need to hide it. Just make it public.
Generally speaking, if players have a new relationship, they will always be revealed by the outside world through clues revealed by some things.
For example, some players will take their new girlfriends to participate in various activities publicly, which will be known to the media. For example, some low-key players will be secretly photographed by the media when shopping with their new girlfriends. Now it is the Internet era, and some players choose to disclose their relationships on the Internet.
But Zhou Yi did not announce his relationship with Cortana in this way. The way he chose to announce it was very special. Before that, few professional players had done this - he drove Cortana openly into the Bracker training base in Dortmund.
