Chapter 74 Oriental Witchcraft

After training, Zhou Yi returned to the locker room and pounced on Barrios: “Lucas!”

He called out in an unfriendly tone.

“Huh? What?” Barrios looked blank, not understanding why Zhou Yi was so angry.

“It’s all your fault!” Zhou Yi shouted.

“What did I do?”

The other teammates in the locker room were also attracted by Zhou Yi's actions. Weren't these two on pretty good terms? Did it look like they were about to argue?

Captain Kehl was just about to step in and stop the conflict between the two, but at that moment he heard Zhou Yi say angrily, "It's all your fault for saying on TV that I know Eastern witchcraft. Now the fans who come to me don't want autographs, but want me to cast spells for them!"

Hearing this, Kehl stopped in his tracks, and the teammates around him couldn't help but burst into laughter. The somewhat tense atmosphere before suddenly livened up.

“What are you laughing at!” Zhou Yi looked around and said sadly, “Just now, a fan came to me. I thought he wanted an autograph. I was just about to sign it! But he lowered his head in front of me!”

Zhou Yi began to tell about his "encounter" just now.

“I thought he wanted me to sign on the top of his head! But guess what he said? He asked me to touch the top of his head! Touch his head! Are you guys saying he’s a nutcase? Is he a nutcase?! After I touched it, he just left! He just left like that! He didn’t even ask me for an autograph! I only realized then that he wanted me to give him ‘initiation’! Initiation my ass! This mysterious Eastern witchcraft is just Tibetan Buddhism!”

Zhou Yi was emotional and even blurted out swear words... because he was so embarrassed just now—he had the pen in his hand, smiling and ready to enjoy the treatment of a big star, but the guy bowed his head and asked him for initiation! He was dumbfounded at the time and had no idea how his hand ended up on the guy's head…

But the surrounding teammates not only didn't sympathize with the poor Zhou Yi, but instead laughed so hard they bent over, very happy.

Grosskreutz laughed and fell to the ground, Weidenfeller laughed and wiped away tears, and the culprit, Barrios, laughed and clutched his stomach…

Even Captain Kehl, who wanted to mediate just now, was laughing and leaning on Dede's shoulder at this moment.

“Lucas, you’re still laughing!” Faced with a room full of laughing teammates, Zhou Yi could only grab Barrios, the culprit.

Barrios gasped for breath as he laughed and said, "Didn't… didn't you already… already explain… explained it through… through the media? Haha!"

“Explaining is useless! They don’t believe it!” Zhou Yi felt wronged, feeling miserable inside. These days, boring and dull truths are far less popular than exaggerated and sensational rumors…

“Sor… sorry, Zhou Yi. Ha!” Barrios had to apologize to Zhou Yi.

“Thank you for your apology, Lucas. But if you don't laugh after saying sorry, I'll believe you're sincere,” Zhou Yi said with a straight face.

"Okay, I was just kidding..." Barrios said, trying to suppress his laughter, but his eyes still formed crescent moons.

“Are you really kidding?” Zhou Yi stared at him and asked.

“Uh… actually, I really think you know Eastern witchcraft… you know I’ve never been to China…”

“We have skyscrapers and cars in China. It is a modern country just like Germany. People there don’t wear feathers on their heads and dance around naked,” Zhou Yi said.

Barrios was a little disappointed: "So you're really just lucky?"

“Of course!” Zhou Yi said decisively.

Grosskreutz finally got up from the ground and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: “Don’t you think this setting is pretty cool, Zhou Yi?”

“What’s so cool about it?” When Zhou Yi thought of the image of those people dancing like shamans, he only felt it was full of backwardness and ignorance.

“Of course it’s cool!” Grosskreutz’s eyes lit up when he talked about this: “Think about it, Zhou Yi. We have to sign autographs for the fans, and when there are too many people, our wrists hurt from signing. But it's easy for you. The fans swarm around, and you just need to look serious, raise your hand slightly with a solemn expression, and everyone will humbly lower their heads in front of you and let you touch their heads… that’s it! Like the Pope?”

As he spoke, Grosskreutz imitated the Pope, raising his hand with a solemn expression to touch Zhou Yi's head.

But Zhou Yi dodged his hand: “Thank you, ‘master’!”

He said through gritted teeth.

Later, Zhou Yi would still encounter those Dortmund fans who came to him because of his reputation. They didn't ask Zhou Yi for autographs, or rather, they weren't interested in getting Zhou Yi's autograph. They came to Zhou Yi to ask for blessings from the Eastern wizard…

Some people were heartbroken and hoped that Zhou Yi could bless them to find a suitable Mr. Right as soon as possible. Others were about to take exams and were worried about failing, so they came to Zhou Yi to ask for blessings. There were even couples who came to him because they couldn't conceive!

At first, Zhou Yi seriously explained to people that he didn't know witchcraft and wasn't a wizard.

“You should go to a specialist hospital for infertility, not here! I’m not the Goddess of Mercy who grants children!”

But it was useless, even if he refused, people would still keep coming.

Even when he returned home, he had to face another devout believer—Hanna.

Hanna really believed that Zhou Yi had mysterious witchcraft, so she widened her eyes and seriously asked Zhou Yi if she could meet her Prince Charming in the bar tonight.

Zhou Yi didn't expect that he couldn't even have peace at home, but he was tired of explaining, so he nodded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you definitely will!"

Hanna cheered, hugged Zhou Yi, and ran back to her room to dress up.

As a result, that night, Hanna called back and told Kotana that she wouldn't be back and didn't need to wait for her.

Zhou Yi was very surprised after hearing Kotana say that Hanna would not be back tonight: "No way? I just said it casually! It actually worked?"

He began to really suspect that he might be carrying some mysterious power that he didn't even know about…

Maybe my dad isn't a second-generation Red, but a superman from another planet? Hiding his name among ordinary humans, secretly guarding the peace and tranquility of the earth? This setting is much cooler than dancing like a shaman!

Hmm… it seems necessary to call my dad and ask about this in a roundabout way!

Just as Zhou Yi's mind was running wild and he began to fantasize, Kotana chuckled beside him: "With Hanna's conditions, if she takes the initiative, is there any man she can't get into bed with? For her, the whole bar is full of her Prince Charmings."

Zhou Yi's beautiful dream of being a superman's descendant with superpowers was shattered…

He glanced at Kotana: "Why don't you go to the bar with Hanna?"

"I don't like going to that kind of place. Men are all horny," Kotana snorted softly.

"But last Christmas…" Zhou Yi immediately exposed Kotana's "lie."

"I was accompanying Hanna. She had just broken up before Christmas."

"Ah, that's really pitiful…"

"What's so pitiful about it? Her so-called breakup was just that the man slept with her twice and then stopped answering her calls. What's so pitiful about a relationship that only lasted two nights?" Kotana shrugged. "She just wanted to find another one when she went to the bar."

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. Although he knew that foreign women were very open, Hanna's openness still had a big impact on him who came from China. In daily contact, he always felt that Hanna was like a sister next door, kind, friendly, and lively. It was really hard to imagine what she would be like in bed…

Zhou Yi shook his head. It was better not to think about that kind of scene.

“What? Are you interested in Hanna?” Kotana saw Zhou Yi was in a daze and teased him casually.

"What are you talking about!" Zhou Yi quickly put on a straight face. "I won't…"

“Do you look down on Hanna? Do you think she’s too open?” Kotana blinked. “I know Chinese people are very conservative…”

"No." Zhou Yi shook his head and said seriously, "Liking and loving are very serious things."

Seeing Zhou Yi say such things in a serious manner, Kotana was stunned at first, and then smiled: "It's awkward for a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair to say 'love'."

“Hey! I’m eighteen years old!” Zhou Yi protested.

“Ah, sorry. You Chinese people look young.” Kotana said it was an apology, but her attitude didn't mean to apologize at all, she was still teasing Zhou Yi. “But a zero-experience boy who can’t even walk with his arm around a woman’s waist, it’s still very awkward to say these words.”

She was mocking Zhou Yi for pretending to be her boyfriend back then.

“So what if I have zero experience? It’s not embarrassing to have no experience!” Always being ridiculed by a woman, Zhou Yi couldn’t stand it as a man and retorted, “If I have to chase after every beautiful and sexy woman I see, what’s the difference between me and a breeding horse? If it’s just to satisfy my desires, I can masturbate! There are all kinds of Japanese and European styles! Why should I waste my feelings just to sleep with someone?”

Zhou Yi directly said "masturbate" in front of Kotana, he was really going all out. Kotana was also stunned.

“There is a difference between sexual impulse and love, right? If I don’t really like her, but just lust after her body, why should I deceive her with lies? But loving someone is different. I think there will always be other things besides physical relations, right? For example, having similar interests, spiritual support, and feeling comfortable doing nothing together! Not feeling uncomfortable, disgusted, or irritable! If you’re not happy together, why bother being together?”

Kotana stared blankly at Zhou Yi as he gave a long speech in front of her with great emotion. She didn't come back to her senses until Zhou Yi finished speaking.

Zhou Yi saw Kotana's dazed look and said triumphantly: "Now you understand, right? Although I have no experience, I have rich theoretical knowledge!"

Kotana nodded: "I understand. This is the first time I've seen someone say 'unwanted' so grandly and passionately."

"Hey!" Zhou Yi was dissatisfied.

"Ah, sorry. This is the first time I've seen someone say 'virgin' so grandly and passionately," Kotana corrected her statement.

"I can't reason with you!" Zhou Yi snorted and returned to his room.

Kotana, rarely, did not pursue him, but stared at his back, lost in thought.
