Mark and his parents have been waiting for Zhou Yi outside, while chatting excitedly about the details of the signing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've been on a contract for four years!80,000 before taxes!" Mark said excitedly and proudly, which is a lot more than he made on a youth contract in the youth team.

While talking and laughing, the door was opened, and Zhou Yi walked out of it.

"Finished?" Mark greeted.

Zhou Yi nodded: "You can go back." ”

"Okay, we're going to celebrate, we won't go out to eat this time, I'll make you something to eat!" Mrs. Wagner declared happily.

Mark also cheered, Zhou Yi looked at his happy friend, and some smiles appeared on his face, he was really in a complicated mood facing Mark now.

Back at Mark's house, Zhou Yi looked at the time, three o'clock in the afternoon, and Beijing time was after nine o'clock in the evening.

So he called his parents again and told them that he couldn't go home.

But Zhou Jianliang looked very happy: "It's okay if you don't come back, you have made great progress." Stay there and train well to stay in the first team. Your mother and I don't have to worry about it, it's all good. You just take care of yourself. ”

"What did Mom say?" Zhou Yi asked cautiously.

"Oh my mother, I didn't say much. It's just oh. ”

"Do you have any regrets that I won't go?" Zhou Yi asked.

"If you don't come back, I'll be tired for a few days, what am I sorry about?" immediately rang my mother's voice on the phone.

Zhou Yi cried and said, "Dad, can you say it first next time you turn on hands-free?"

"I didn't turn on the speakerphone, it's your mother'......" Zhou Jianliang's words didn't continue, because his wife, who had always put her ear to the earpiece, pinched him, and he gasped in pain, and he didn't say anything more.

"What's wrong with my mom?"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, in short, son, don't worry, we are your strong backing, compared to going home, it is more important to struggle over there, you can train hard!"

After speaking, the phone was hung up by Zhou Jianliang in a hurry - he couldn't bear the pain anymore.

Zhou Yi held the earpiece that had no sound, and wondered why his father was so simple today......

In the evening, Cortana also returned as an older sister to a family dinner to congratulate her brother on signing a professional contract.

In fact, for Cortana, this can be described as a failure for her.

Because she never thought that her brother was capable of becoming a professional footballer, she always felt that her brother's talent in playing football was mediocre.

I didn't expect my younger brother to really become a professional player.

She glanced at Zhou Yi with her eyes.

It's all happened after this kid came to the house.

Speaking of which, in the eight months since he came, a lot of changes have really happened in his family......

Zhou Yi, who was eating, noticed that someone was staring at him, so he turned his eyes and saw Konata.

"Am I handsome?" he asked.

"Neuropathy. Cortana rolled her eyes.

Zhou Yi pouted at her, and then continued to bow his head and eat his own things.

"Hey, Zhou Yi, you're a little silent today. Mark, who drank some beer, was in a high mood, he put his arm around Zhou Yi's shoulder, leaned over, and said with wine in his mouth.

Mrs. Wagner also chimed in: "That's it, Zhou Yi, you are indeed a little silent today." It's a good day!"

Hearing the two say this, Zhou Yi put down the knife and fork, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, and raised his head to look at everyone.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wagner, because I really don't know how to say goodbye to you......"

When Zhou Yi said this, everyone was stunned.

"Tell ...... Don't?" asked Mrs. Wagner, surprised.

"Yes, according to the club's requirements, I can only live in your house until the end of this season, so I will move out from the beginning ......of next season and find another place to live," Zhou Yi said.

That's what Ricken told him this afternoon in the academy director's office.

It is said that if the youth team players want to stay in the homestay, they can't stay for too long, and generally one season is the longest period. After the expiration of the period, they will have to change places to live or continue to find a fan family to receive them, which is the case for foreign youth team players who are still young. Either you just go out and live alone, which is the case for players who are a little older, such as Zhou Yi's age.

On the one hand, this is to prevent a player from disturbing the normal life of a fixed family for a long time, after all, letting an outsider live in his own home is purely because of the family's love and passion for the club, but the club should not allow this love and enthusiasm to become a burden on the fan family.

On the other hand, the reason is that players want to learn to be self-reliant, and the ability to live independently is very important in society, whether it is a professional player or any other profession. European clubs value a player's ability to manage his or her own life, and if a player can't even take care of his own life, he is generally unlikely to achieve much in professional football, even if he is talented.

Therefore, players who are old must be independent.

And the players themselves often prefer to live alone rather than live in someone else's home for a long time. Because then, at least...... It's not convenient to take a few girls home to play games or something......

"Ah...... It turns out that it's been a season...... "Mrs. Wagner also reacted, she naturally knew this rule, but living with Zhou Yi made her very happy, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all living with a stranger with completely different living habits, so she automatically blocked this rule in her mind unconsciously.

"But you only came to our house at the end of November last year......" Mark also remembered that there was indeed such a rule in the club, but he was reluctant to go, and wanted to pick the words of the rules.

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Mark, smiled and said, "Actually, I can't bear to ...... you."

When Mark heard Zhou Yi say this, he was about to cry with his mouth flattened, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to follow and say, "...... Game consoles, Mark. ”

"Huh?" Mark looked at Zhou Yi with a blank expression.

"Poof. Cortana, who had been next to her for a long time to watch a warm and affectionate play, just squirted out the wine she had just drunk in her mouth.

Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to her, Cortana glared at Zhou Yi with some embarrassment and resentment, and hurriedly wiped the wine that she sprayed on the table with a napkin, and at the same time she kept coughing - choked into her trachea by the wine just now.

Mark turned his head to look at his sister's predicament, and was not surprised or interested in her rare embarrassment, but turned his gaze back, glared at Zhou Yi and shouted, "You don't care about the friendship between the two of us?!"

"Why, don't you think that your console is the best testimony to our friendship? It's a figure of speech, you know, Mark? It's called seeing things, and when I see that console, I think of you......"

Zhou Yi's words made Mark feel better, and he grinned.

“...... That terrible game technology. Zhou Yi finished speaking.

"Huh?" Mark was stunned for a moment, then reacted and grabbed Zhou Yi's neck, "Ahhhhh

Zhou Yi, who was choked by the neck, hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, rolled his eyes and shouted: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!"

"Mark, don't make trouble!" Mrs. Wagner was really afraid that Zhou Yi would be pinched out, so she hurriedly stopped her son. "You pinched Zhou Yi!"

Mark said aggrievedly: "Mom, is it me or Zhou Yi is your own son?"

"What nonsense?" Mrs. Wagner glared at Mark, "Zhou Yi is not my son but my son!"

"Ahhh

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and spit out two saliva blisters: "Blame me?"

"Alright, Mark, stop! you see Zhou Yi is foaming at the mouth!" said Mrs. Wagner anxiously.

At this moment, Mark's restaurant was more lively than ever......

※ ※ ※

Zhou Yi helped Mark to the door of his room, and then asked, "Mark, do you want to have a plate?"

He snorted at the console.

"I've drunk too much, Zhou Yi ......" Mark shook his head slowly, and his words were not very clear.

"I know, Mark. Zhou Yi nodded and said, "That's why I want to have a plate with you, and teach you how to be a man!"

Mark glanced at Zhou Yi: "Take advantage of the danger of others, and win without force!"

"It's called strategy, you know strategy, Mark? Well, I know that's a bit hard for you...... To put it simply, tactics are to use one's strengths to target the enemy's weaknesses, why should I go head-to-head with you if I can easily defeat you?" Zhou Yi said seriously.

Mark smiled when he heard this: "Yes, Zhou Yi, you always do this." On the pitch, you're always running to catch the ball when no one notices, you're so cunning......"

"Say it as if you won't. Zhou Yi glanced at Mark.

"That's different, that's different......" Mark waved his hand weakly. "I don't know how I did it, but you know how you do it. Zhou Yi, you can copy it countless times, but I ...... I don't know when I won't be able to do it, and I feel like I'm lucky every time......"

"Mark, luck is part of strength, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, blind chickens can also peck rice. Mark nodded repeatedly. "But I still admire you, Zhou Yi. You're the best guy I've ever met, better than Mario. I'm going to go to the first team next season and continue to be so good!"

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Mark saw Zhou Yi's surprised expression and smiled proudly: "I didn't expect it, right? Hehehehe! Don't think I'm so stupid! Why did Mr. Rickon leave you alone, I don't think he was here to tell you about the accommodation rules alone, right? You performed so well in the youth team, how could you continue to stay in the youth team? If I were Mr. Ricken, I wouldn't let you stay here, it would be a waste for you." Stay here, you won't make any progress, Zhou Yi. You're super good, the youth team is too pediatric for you!"

※ ※ ※

Cortana came downstairs with a book in her hand, and just as she turned the corner of the stairs, she heard her brother's voice upstairs.

So she stopped, and instead of going up, she stood quietly around the corner, leaning against the wall, and continued to read her book.

※ ※ ※

"Going to the first team surprised those first-team stars!" Mark said loudly patting the stunned Zhou Yi on the shoulder. "I believe in you, Zhou Yi!

"How much wine have you drunk today, Mark?" Zhou Yi asked.

"I'm very conscious now. Mark shook his head. "Don't you think you can't do it?"

"Mark, do you know why I like to be friends with you?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Huh?"

"I just like your way of looking at people!" Zhou Yi raised his head and said, "Nonsense, of course I'll surprise them!"

Mark laughed, laughed very happily, he couldn't stand laughing, he pressed his hands on Zhou Yi's shoulders, lowered his head, put his head on Zhou Yi's chest, and shook his body with laughter.

"What, isn't it funny?" Zhou Yi said strangely.

"No, no......" Mark straightened up, grabbed Zhou Yi's shoulders with both hands, looked at him and said, "Come on, Zhou Yi, come on!" And I, Zhou Yi, I will continue to work hard in the youth team. It's nice to get to know you, but in my days with you I always seem to want to rely on you, I always want you to help me solve problems, even on the pitch I always rely on your assists to score. I think if it hadn't been for me, you might have gone to the first team earlier, right?"

"No, you're thinking too much, Mark. Zhou Yi shook his head and said. "I'm not physically fit yet. ”

"No, Zhou Yi. If you don't have me, you can spend more time working on improving your physical fitness, rather than practicing with me on goal......"

"That's a special training for my passing. Zhou Yi explained.

"I know, I know, Zhou Yi. But I can't always rely on you, can I? I can't always be your burden and drag you down. My dreams are my dreams, and you have your own dreams, and I have to rely on myself and no one else to achieve my dreams. So I'm going to train hard in the youth team and try to improve myself, and I'll learn to be a good professional player without relying on people. When the time comes, I'll go to the first team, with dignity and integrity, and go to the first team with my own ability, not your assists!"

Zhou Yi looked at Mark's eyes close at hand, he didn't know if it was the illusion of drinking, he felt that Mark's eyes were particularly shining today.

"I believe in you, Mark. He said.

※ ※ ※

Cortana closed the book and stepped up the steps to appear in front of them.

"Are you going to hug and kiss each other next?" she tilted her head to look at her two friends.

The two were taken aback by the uninvited guest, Mark reflexively let go of Zhou Yi's shoulder, Zhou Yi also took a step back, and then they turned their heads to look at Cortana together.

"You're eavesdropping on my privacy, sister!" protested Mark.

"Huh!" Cortana snorted, "who wants to listen to your childish conversations, what a child." What your dreams, my dreams ......"

She swayed, then walked between the two men.

And just as she walked in front of Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi suddenly asked, "Then do you have a dream, eldest sister?"

Cortana spread her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a mature adult, and dreaming of that thing is just a fantasy of my youth and ignorance, and it can't be realized." ”

With that, she walked straight to the door of her room and slammed her hand on the doorknob.

"What if it happens?" Zhou Yi turned his head and asked her.

Her hand paused.

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Look at me, when I was still in school, I didn't dare to think that I would become a professional player." It wasn't until later that I had that dream, and now I'm a professional footballer, and that dream has come true. ”

"It's just a normal professional contract. Cortana snorted.

"Yes, that's right, but that's also a professional contract, and I'm a professional footballer now, right? I've made my dream come true, right?"

"Yes, yes, you've made your dream come true, and then what?" Cortana pouted.

"Then I had a new dream of being the best professional player in the world. Zhou Yi said, "Become one of the best." ”

"It's not a small tone. ”

"Yes, you always have to be a little ambitious, right? What if it happens?"

Cortana turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, he had a smile on his face that couldn't tell whether it was sincere or cynical, and he couldn't tell whether what he said was sincere or nonsense.

"Come on, boy. She waved her hand, "Good night." ”

Unscrewed the door, walked in, then closed the door, clicked, and locked.

Zhou Yi retracted his gaze and looked at Mark who was standing opposite.

In the war of words between him and Cortana just now, Mark, who was still talking endlessly just now, couldn't even insert his mouth.

"Good night, Mark. Zhou Yi said goodbye to Mark, walked back to his room, and then closed the door.

There was only one Mark left in the hallway, and he stood at the door of his room, muttering, "What if it happens......?"

So I made a free single chapter, and I'll give it to you later.

It's about the creative process of this second volume, and it can also be seen as a tidbit...... "Yes, you always have to be a little ambitious, right? What if it happens?"

Cortana turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, he had a smile on his face that couldn't tell whether it was sincere or cynical, and he couldn't tell whether what he said was sincere or nonsense.
